The alleged Murder of Mouaghan ^ "Manchester . —After hearing the medical evidence , the jury in this case were of opinion there was nothing to warrant the suspicion of murder , so far as the investigation had gone , but they agreed to adjourn for a fortnight to give time for further inquiry .

The case was therefore dismissed ; but the prisoners will of course be sent to Liverpool for trial at the assizes , on the charge of forging the will .

One of them , Thoma 3 Williams , was killed on the spot , and the other sustained a compound fracture of the leg-and severe fracture of the skull . He was conveyed to the Eojal Infirmary , where amputation was found to be necessary . He is still alive .

. ajnui <; .:= uivs iajN'iT . — IMMENSE SUCCESS of ROB PtOT and BLACK-EYED SUSAJS — NOVELTIES in PREPARATION . In assumin g tie management at Christmas last of the largest Theatee in . London , Professor ANDERSON pledged himself to the Public to produce the most gorgeous , and if possible the best Pantomime of the Season . Efficiently to carry out that pledge , he determined to spai-e no cost , nor fail to avail himself of whatever talent he could discover and command His engagements were made for a period of six weeks , over which , ' . term he did not expect the Pantomime to run " . Encountering many difficulties in producing a Pantomime at a house where none had been for years—where nearly all the machinery had to be constructed , and every " ororjertv " to be made-the "I 3 ELLE ALLIANCE ; or , tliel ' iaeibop the Cloth of Gold , " was placed on the stage at an outlay of nearly £ 7 iP 0 O , and was at once recognised by the Press and by tne Public as being worthy of the house at wfiicli it was presented , and the unprecedented expenditure incurred in its production . Its popularity h ;> s increased at every representation . At tlie presentmoment , after a run of forty nights , between 2 , 009 and 3 . 000 persons pay nightly at the doors to witness its grotesque incidents , its gorgeous ' appointments , and its magnificent scenery . The Operatic Drama of Hob Roy , and the ever-popular jHelo-Draaha of Black-Eyed Susan , produced as they have been at a cost as lavish as that bestowed on the Pantomime , have achieved an equal amount of success . Within the - walls of Covent Garden larger audiences are assembled every evening than in any other theatre of Europe ; while < he fashionable character of the attendance , and the applause bt-stowed on the performances , ratify'the . fulfilment of the promises made by the lessee at the commencement of the season , and warrant his indulging in self-congratulation at haviug accomplished a triumph in the way of successful management . Under these circumstances he has had no hesilation in arranging with the Directors of the Theatre for its occupancy until it is required for the purposes of the Royal Italian Opera at the commencement of the next London Season . The extension of his lease has been most courteously accor-ded to him , and increased facilities granted for producing various novelties . The Pantomime , on account of its great success will be repeated nightly ; Rob Roy and Black-Eyed Susan will be performed on alternate nights until further notice ; the same attention which haa been paid to their production as regards scenery , costumes , and other accessories to effect , will be paid to everything else produced under the present management . The Dramas wliich will succeed the . se will shortly be announced , and the renewed season of the present management will terminate with the production of ENGLISH OPERA , on a grand scale , introducing the whole of the available English musical talent to be round in Great Britain . On MONDAY , February llth , will bo presented BIjACKEYED SUSAN . "William , by Professor Anderson , and Susan by Mis 3 Harriet Gordon . On TUESDAY , February 12 th , ROB ROY . Rob Roy McGregor . Professor Anderson : Ellen McGregor , Mrs . J . \ V . WaUack . HOB ROY will be repeated on Thursday and Saturday ; and BLACK-EYED SUSAN on Wednesday and Friday .
