PROCEEDINGS AGAINST A CLERGYMAN.—A special com-
mission from the bishop was opened at the Chapter House
on Monday, to inquire into certain charges against the Rev.
George Martin, rector of St. Pancras, in this city. for hav-
ing, on the 27th of May last, married Henry Voysey and
Ann Cockram, the said parties not being resident within his
Parish, and Voysey being tinder 21 years of age. The com-
missioners were the Rev. Chancellor Martin, the Dean of
Exeter, and Archdeacon Barnes. The pi oceeding was under
the recent act for the improvement of church discipline, and
the object was to ascertain if there was such a prirnd facie
case as to warrant ulterior proceedings. After the evidence
had been adduced, the rev. chancellor said they were satisfied
that Mr. Martin bad not been guilty of anything intentionally
culpable. He was satisfied the father of the young man, in
instituting the proceedings, was not actuated by any vindic-
tive motive, and he recommended the parties to avail them-
selves of the 6th clause of the act, and to submit the whole
matter to the bishop. This was accordingly agreed to.—

THE SILK ROBBERY.—MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY.—
This morning the two prisoners, Edwin and Nathaniel Lucas,
who stand charged with being conderned in several very ex-
tensive robberies in and about this town, were again brought
up at the New Bailey, before Messrs. D. Maude, J. Barker,
and T. Townend, for further examination. The only witness
whose testimony was not already before the court was a per-
son named William Hesketh ; he deposed,—" I reside at
Burton-upon-Trent, Irwell, and keep a public-house. On
Tuesday, the 17th of May last, three men came to my house
about half-past 10 o'clock at night. They called for some
ale, which I filled for them. They had with them a spring
cart, drawn by one horse. Two of them came into the house
and the carter stood at the door. I cannot swear that either
of the prisoners was of the party ; but I think Nathaniel is
m
one of the en who came into the house. I had some sus-
picion and went out to examine the cart, and found the sheet
was bound down by a log of wood. I had but a very inferior
opportunity of seeing them, but I think the prisoner Natha-
niel is one of them." The whole of the deposition was then
read over ; and after some deliberation the prisoners were both
committed to take their trial at the next Liverpool Assizes.
On the application of Mr. Monk, who defended the prisoners,
Nathaniel was admitted to bail.

MANCHESTER.—We are gratified to be enabled to say,
that the favourable account we gave of trade last week is im-
proved rather than otherwise, and that a large amount of
business was done on Tuesday, at full prices, in all widths of
printing cloth. Wide cloths are in good demand, at an ad-
vance even upon last week's rates, and most of the manufac-
turers are fully engaged for a month, and some six weeks;
27-inch cloth is also improved,, and full 3d. per piece is easily
obtained upon prices current a fortnight ago. Domestic
cloth is also better to sell, and we have conversed with one or
two manufacturers of this cloth, that tell us they have a more
legitimate trade than. they have had for three or four years,
and at paying prices. We also learn that, in several parts of
this district, mills that have been stopping for some time are
again about to commence. Our townsmen, Messrs. Leese,
Kershaw, and Co, we hear, have taken Messrs. Carr's mills,
of Stockport, and they will employ a number of hands. We
hope that the manufacturers are now making money, for the
raw material is now lower than ever, and goods are 3d. to 6d.
higher than they were at the lowest point; so we hope that
the manufacturers, instead of reducing the wages of their
hands, will do their best to increase them, for the workpeople
are miserably paid. The yarn trade; we are sorry to say, is
not so good, and the manufacturers are better off than spin-
ners, although some numbers in yarns are ready of sale.
27-inch power-loom printers may be quoted-96's, 4s. 91c1.
to 4s. 101 d. ; and 72's, 4s. 103 d. to ss. 3d. Hand-loom
cloth is also in good demand, and 3 lb. to 70's are easily
sold at 3s. 4id.—Manchester Advertiser.
BARBAROUS MURDER.—Even on the eve of our Assizes.
and at the conclusion of that of the South Riding, an atro-
cious and brutal murder has been perpetrated in our Riding.
The scene of murder is a beautiful valley surrounded by hills
tillageable to their very summits. The cabin in which the
dark deed was done is verging on the road size, and such was
its appearance that at first sight we supposed it to be a hovel
for pigs. Into this den the deceased Patrick Tierney entered,
for the purpose of smoking
his pipe—(as it is represented).
The woman of the house, her two small children, and a girl
named Grady, about eleven years of age, were within; hut
the owner of the house was out to visit a neighbour. After

some time a young man named Messgil, living about twenty
perches distance—enters—sits down—smokes with the de-
voted Tierney—and then retires. Almost immediately after
a number of men came into the cabin, ordered Tierney on his
knees, and broke in his skull with sticks, stones, and spades.
The unfortunate being's forehead was smashed and his brains
burst out. The woman swears that she ran and hid herself
and her children under the bed. That she did not hear the
murderers or the murdered say anything beyond " Tierney
go on your knees," and "I am off." In one place she lints
in the plea of darkness, as a reason for her not hearing what
happened. She also puts in the plea of terror. What was
the crime for which Tierney was sacrificed? On the 25th
ultirao, be was fired at (as he swore) within one hundred
yards of the spot at which he subsequently met his fate. Two
balls perforated his hat ; and for that attempt on his life, two
men named Michael Larkin and Thomas Gleeson, were com-
mitted to stand their trial at the present assizes.—Nenagls
