THE MURDER IN MONTAGUE-PLACE.  During,. the present week, Salmon) Furzman, and Gardiner, officers Of Bow street, have been night and day in pursuit of the murderer. Too much praise cannot be given to them for their exertions ; in fact, "sleep has not touched their eyes, nor ,lumber their eye-lids," for the last three nights, so anxious have they been to effect the capture of the ,ipposed murderer.. It will be recollected, that on the night the murder was committed, a man, dressed !II a blue coat and a white apron, was seen talking to the, deceased in the passage of Mr. Lett's house. Every means have been adopted to find out who that individual was, and an extraordinary accident discovered him to the Police. Not a moment was lost by the officers to effect his apprehension, and, by the direction of Mr. Halls, they went to Lambeth. where the'man had for some time resided, to take him into custody. One of the officers called at his residence and asked for him ; but he was told that he was from home. A watch was set upon the house, and yesterday it was ascertained that the individual they were pursuing had absconded on Monday last. Last night Mr. Knight (the son of the deceased), and his son, and the Police Officers, went in different directions about the metropolis, and exerted themselves to discover the suspected person. There is every reason to believe that he is now concealed in London. They were pursuing their inquiries during Thursday night, and also yesterday till one o'clock, when they had an interview with Mr. Halls, at Bow-street Office. The facts communicated by the Officers to Mr. Halls induced him to order a handbill to be circulated, offering a reward for the apprehension of the supposed criminal, as follows :  " Public Office, Bow-street, 10th Jan., 1327.  " TEN POUNDS REwAnn.—William Jones stands charged on oath with a capital felony, and has absconded. lie is about 24 years of age, rather stout and strongly built, stands about five feet five inches in height, dark eyes, with hair brushed up in front, no whiskers, and has a very prominent mark of a cat about an inch long on his left cheek, near the mouth; he has been several voyages to sea.—lnformation is requested to be given to Mr. Stafford, Chie Clerk, at the above office, where a reward of Ten Pounds will be paid on the apprehension of the offender." The worthy Magistrate had evidence of the raostf stisfactory description laid before him, previous to Ins giving directions for advertising the suspected person. We have been informed that the suspected individual had several times called upon the deceased prior to the commission of the murder, and that he had not long returned from sea.  Last night, at a late hour, the officers were in active pursuit of Jones. At twelve o'clock they had not captured him ; but they had obtained a " scent," and probably before our next publication he will be in custody.
