LATEST PARTICULARS.

With regard to the route which has been taken
by the two principal persons connected with the
outrage, and who were really the immediate cause
of it, we have been able to ascertain with almost
Certainty that they took the direction of Bradford.
At about half-past four o'clock, three men appeared
in Taylor-street, Bradford, and one of them, whose
description exactly corresponds with that of Kelly,
Went into a tobacconist's shop and got half an ounce
of tobacco. Another went into the house of Daniel
hider, near to the shop, and asked if he might bring a
friend in. Being told that he could, he was joined
by the man from the tobacconist's shop and the
third man. Mrs. Rider observed, although an
attempt was made to conceal it, that the third
man, who is known to have been Deasey—was
handcuffed. Kelly said that his friend had got
Rome nails sticking up in his boots, and requested to
be furnished with a hammer. The woman went
out, fearing that something was wrong, and on her
return, after apprising a neighbour, she heard the
sound of hammering in the kitchen. The three men
Went away almost immediately, and the handcuffs
had disappeared. Outside of the house the men
separated, but took paths which would enable them
to rejoin each other on the high road at a short
distance. It is believed that Kelly's handcuffs were
broken with a stone in a brickcroft, between Hyde
Road and Bradford.

As soon as it was known in Ashton-under-Lyne
and Stalybridge that this outrage had taken
place, the police received. all the necessary
Instructions. A meeting of magistrates took
place in Ashton-under-Lyne about eight
on Wednesday evening, and the Bench having ex-
pressed a wish that the safety of the volunteer arms
should be looked to, Lieutenant Greenall, Sergeant
Major Newman, and Sergeant Gardner, and 25 of
the noncommissioned officers and men met at the
TOWn Hall and took the necessary precautions.
About half-past six o'clock the same night Con-
Stables Harron and Eaton observed two men in the
streets whose appearance at once aroused their
suspicions, as their shoes were covered with clay, as
1f theyhad walked through the fields. The consta-
bles at once watched them, and the men appear to
have become conscious that that was so. After
dodging about for some time, one of the men
Was seen to go into a plumber and glazier's
8110 P. Here he asked for a halfpenny worth
°f putty, but he had not the money to pay
for it. He was apprehended as he came out, but
the other man unfortunately escaped. He gave the
naive of James Woods. He said he had slept in
Pendleton the night before, but could not tell
Vhere. He also said he had slept in Leeds, but
!reuld not give any references. When taken to
Manchester he was identified as having been seen
..t
the house where Kelly and Deasey were appre-
hended.

Able police officers have been despatched to all
parts of the kingdom in search of the escaped
head centres." A rumour was current in the city
yesterday that Kelly had been taken, but up to the
present the police authorities have not received any
such information.
We heir that in the course of yesterday the
''.;taYor was in constant communication with the
iorne-office and the Government of Ireland, and

Last night rumours were abroad that a Fenian
)I)eeting was to be held at Ancoats. A meet-
lhg of a political character was held in that
district; but welearn that nothing transpired to c0n-

ellY and Deasey were taken into custody are

Te the frequenters of the City Police-court the
4eeeased officer Brett, who had for years stood
to
sPieuously in the dock, was well known. In
18 post, most arduous from the character of the
poerßetla whom he had to deal with, and frequently
44 restrain, he displayed a great amount of tact,
in other respects he exhibited all the
ifitlalities of an experienced and careful officer.

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMSHIP SURAT.

oThe Peninsular and Oriental steamer Surat, bound
flb India, went stem on to a coral reef on the night
the 4th inst., some 90 miles from Suez.
She struck somewhere about midnight, and baffled

,exertions to remove her from her perilous position.
knere she lay, stern on to the wind and sea, her
