which you are placed, prevented you from executing

t.houlrl you coma here, I am persuaded you would
et) eel', as indeed there is no industrious man that
• will not—ifynn can command a capital from 2001.
to 4001., fn-set lip in business, I should have no
doubt of your success, but I hardly think that less.
than 2001. would answer for that purpose—as to the
!o,echanics of the different trades, as well as labour-
.ing men, this is the country for them, as their wages
.are from a dollar ands quarter to two dollars per day,
so that if they are sober and industrious, They may live
comfortably on their earoings—buildings are going

,ahandacten of employment—in AVashington laud Bal-
timore there is sufficient employment in that business
—if you come out here, Baltimore is, in my opinion,

to be here in February or March, as there is net

)Baltimore conveniently, Philadelphia, or Nor-
folk, in Virginia, would be good ports, as there
are steins-boats always running from these places
to- Baltimore. The reason why I mention ca•
pital to you is, because there is little employ-
ment for clerks, or men of abilities, owing to the
%Test number from Europe, and I do not know whe-
, ther you understand any trade. Farming is here a

much of their method of farming. If you come here,

MURDER vi Mn'.
TAYLOR.

The two men who were esamined privately before
Mr. Bt s, at Bow-strer, on Friday morning, on
suspicion of being concerned in the horrid deed, goon
re-ens mination in the evening, were discharged. On
the same night that the murder was committed, the
houses of two Gentlemen, Messrs. Carpenter and
r'Wetkins, in the immediate vicinity of the tragic
scene, were attempted to be robbed by two men.—
These met' were seen coming over Mr. Carpenter's
wall by the -watchman ; but his efforts to overtake
them were fruitless. One of their persons, he says,
. lie is sure he can identify. After this, it is supposed,
the same two men went to Mr..Watkins's, and were
only prevented from obtaining- iw entrance by the
*creams of Ole family, who were alarmed by their
. approach. One of them was seem on the tap of an
out-house near the boundaries of the mansion, and
hastily escaped on finding himself discovered.—
On Saturday, Wainwright and Edwards, officers of
Hatton-garden, accompanied by the watchman to
whom we have already alluded, went to search the
houses occupied by persons of suspicious character in
the neight.ourlimid of Edmonton, Tottenham, and
E,fietd, hut were unable to make any discovery. It
has been ascertained too, that between one and two
o'clock in the morning, after the murder, two men,
either really iorosicsted. or assuming that appearance,'
got into a hackney-coach in the City-road, and were,
by their own order, driven to the Borough. They
• were men of shabby appearance, and not such us
would be likely, on an ordinary occasion, to make
use of such a vehicle. Much surprise has been
created in the minds of Mr. Taylor's family and'
friends that no discovery has yet been made of the
peredh whom the deceased declared he was to have
liet.tit the Jolly Butchers. lie did not himself state
who that person was, nor has any one come forward
to acknowledge the eppointment. A reward of 50-
• guineas has been offered for the apprehension of the
ndeoders by the relatives of the deceased.
Descriprion of the deceised's watch :—A silver

Nears, 1814; toy which was attached a •gold curb
