THE ALLEGED MURDER OF BACON'searNlinOgTaHEleßc.::r

STAMFORD, Monday Afternoon.—A special messenger
has arrived hare from the Home-office, bearing
from Sir George Grey, addressed to the mayor, request-
ing that gentleman to inform the Government forthwith
where the remains of Mrs. Bacon, the mother
man charged with the murder of his two children, o
of the
buried, in order that immediate steps might be taken by
the proper authorities to have the body exhumed and
an inquest held without delay. The Mayor informed
the Right Hon. Baronet that " Mrs. Bacon was buried
in May last, in the parish churchyard of Great Chester.
ton, near Oakham, in Rutlandshire, and that the coroner
for the district is Mr. Henry Hough, of Paktiam, in
that county." The necessary orders from the Home -
office were sent off last night to Mr. Hough, and the
body of Mrs. Bacon will at once be exhumed, but the
proceeding in the first place will only be of a formal
nature, as the intestines will be taken out by the local
surgeon, who will make the post mortem examination,
and forwarded to Professor Taylor for analysis. Mr
Reed, the chief constable of Stamford, has collected a
great quantity of information in connection with the
case.

and an inquest will be forthwith holden.
MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tues-
day.—The American news has had a tendency to produce
a listless and inactive market. As is usual in a quiet
market, prices are in favour of buyers; in some instances
rates which spinners would have rejected last Tuesday
are accepted to-day; even this concession has not induced
purchasers to operate largely. This applies to all counts
under 40's ; finer yarns are in good demand at full rates.
