" The deputation appointed to wait upon the
Bishop of London, on the subject pf the proposed
changes in the Church service, havitig learnt that n-n
erroneous impression exists as to the result of their
interview with his Lordship, desire to afford to their
fellow-subscribers a correct statement of the facts.

" They do this in consequence of a declaration made
at the last meeting by the clergy to the effect, that the
deputation had engaged to make no opposition to the
introduction of the changes proposed, if deferred for
twelve months.

" The deputation distinctly disavow any such
compact being entered into by them; they made no
stipulation whatever; and the subscribers are per-
fectly at liberty to adopt whatever course they may
deem advisable under the future circumstances of
the case.

" The deputation cannot but regret that the inju-
dicious announcemont of the clergy should have called
forth this declaration.

MURDER AT YARMOUTH.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The body was left in the same position as it was
found till twelve o'clock at noon on Tuesday, to be
viewed by the coroner's jury. In order to effect a
discovery of the perpetrators all the police-constables
of the town were sent out to search the inmates of the
vagrant houses and brothels. Several parties were
apprehended on suspicion. From inquiries made, it ap-
peared that Mrs. Chandler had received 50%. in the week
before and 150/. on the previous Saturday, the money
consisting of a cheque for 1001., payable at Messrs.
Gurney's bank, and five 101. notes. This money.had
been paid to her by a relation named Mrs. Swan, a
resident of Yarmouth. Another relation had sold an
estate, and the produce had been divided among rela-
tives, 2001. coming to Mrs. Chandler's share. It was
supposed that this fact being known to some parties
had led to the commission of the murder, as no money
was found in the house, but subsequently Mr. Balls,
the Mayor's officer, on searching Mrs. Chandler's
apartments found the cheque for 1001. and five 10/.
notes in a chest of drawers in her bed-room. For some
reason, it appeared that deceased only a few days pre-
vious had told certain parties that she had placed her
money under the bed for security. During the in-
.vestigation before the coroner, a man named John
Dick, gunner at the town battery, brought a bag of
money to the station-house, which his wife had found
buried in the sand on the Denes, near the battery.
She had been out with a basket of linen, and on her
return home she saw several holes partly dug in the
sand, and another hole with finger marks and impres-
sions of footsteps near it. She dug up the hole, and
seeing a bag she shrieked out. Her husband hearing
a noise came to the spot and pulled the bag out of the
hole. It was a large bag, and.contained a consider-
able sum of money in copper, besides a small bag
inside containing silver and gold. There was a card
direction fastened outside of the larger bag, with
" Mrs. Chandler, Yarmouth—per rail—left free "
written outside on it. The inside of the card had
the address of Copewan and Son, Norwich. As soon
as Mr. Dick had taken the bag out of the hole, a
man named Royal, a fish-dealer, came up, and said,
according to sir. Dick's account, " There is more
in the hole—let us feel ;" and suiting the action to
the word, he put his hand into the hole, and pulled
out a small bag containing somegold and silver money.
Mr. Dick further states that Royal said, " There
ought to be a cheque too, and, feeling the bag, he
said here it is." He wanted to take the money ank
count it. Mr. Dick insisted that nothing of the kind
should be (lone till they took the bags to the station-
house. Royal then accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Dick
to the station-house, and from their account, as above
~ivee Royal was detained on suspicion, he being
,s ,
known to the police as the companion to a gang of
thieves in the town. Some of this gang, named
Jeremiah Cooper, James Hall, James Hubbard, and
Samuel Layton, alias Belcher, were immediately
taken ir.to custody, and I nderwent a strictly private
examination before the magistrates at the gaol, in
front of which an unusual crowd of people had aasem-
blcd during the day, anxious to learn the result of
the inquiry, which had not transpired when this re-
port was sent off.
On Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held
before Mr. A. Woods, deputy coroner for the borough,
on view of the body. A respectable jury had been
summoned, consisting of eighteen persons. After
viewing the body, which presented a frightful spec-
tacle, they re-assembled at the police court at the
Town-ball, and continued their inquiry for six hours.
Seven witnesses weie examined, who deposed to the
facts above stated, and the jury, after a short delibe-
ration, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against
some person or persons unknown."
