ITURTIIER PAIITICULAR9.I On Friday two null, eatil about 34 years of age, named W. Spencer, and S. Johnson, were brought before J. ScalyEx and J. WOOLLEY, Esqrs., Surrey Magistrates, charged upon suspicion of having murdered Mary Wilkins, wife of Henry Wilkins, a carman, in Bermondsey. The de ceased was found in the Surrey Canal on Saturday (Ist inst.), with marks of violence on her person. Henry Wilkins said,—That the last time I saw my wife was on last Friday evening, at her mother's (Slr. Horsley), Grange_ road ; I left her there t arid never saw he r a li ve aft er . M y landlady and me stopped up till nearly twelve o'clock ; I then , retired to bed ; I made. inquiry at .her moth er ' s an d different places, and Could ge t n o i n f orma tion abou t h er. tlizabeth Horsley sa id—My came to. daughter, th e d eceased ; past o n Saturday mornin g five o'clo c k, t o in my hoUse on Friday, as I ha ve been in trmed, about nine in' the morning, and s t aye d a ll d ay; the lodger s to ld me t h at she lie:: husband d 2 c O all m ed in a u t t: y a i f l te ou r 57,, .little k quire whether Mary had. been there : he said she had not been home all night. Tuesday morning early I went oat to in qu i re about my dau g ht e i i n t h e K en t-road, I met a woman who asked me if I h a d h eard of a piing woman b e in g f oun d in the canal. I then went to the Lord Nelson, and found a body which I discoVered to be, my daughter. I never.heard of my daughter's husband striking or ill-using her, but they some times quarrelled. Olive 'Westward deposed, that Johnson and Spencer came several times after the deceased at her lodgings. She told wit ness that Spencer had been to sea for two years, was just re turned, and was a single man—she had known him since she was 12 years Old, and that he would have had her —h e did , not mind dying for her now, for that he would shoot Wilkins; that hek had brought her home six shawls, and many fine things ; she first said his vessel lay at Gravesend, 'then that hw lOdged in Blackfriars-road ; that she had left him at herfatleces, to sleep there that night;, he was come to take her to France with him; witness reminded her that she was married now—she said, " Where I am he will be." Witness added, that on examin ing the corpse, she should not think, from the appearance s that she had destroyed herself; there were Marks on both arms, particularly the left, as if she had been squeeied by some one; there was also a mark under one of her ears. Stephen Somers sworn.-1 live at the Wheatsheaf, Lombard street, in the Mint. I have seen the deceaSed repeatedly at my house about three months since; she had not, been.there since till last Friday night ; she came about half-past eight or nine o'clock, in company with the two prisoners ; they all left my house about half-past eleven o'clock. The Woman seemed to he a little intoxicated ; I noticed it to my wife. Spencer seemed quite sober ; Johnson appeared to be a little in liquor, I think the deceased was not so far gone as not to be able to find her way home. I did not see which way the deceased or the prisoners went on leaving my house. I don't know whether they separated or not ; and did not hear any thi ng more of the , deceased house that easedtill3 she lon day or Tuesday, when it was mentioned at my was found drowned. On. Saturday morning the prisoners came to my house together, and stopped about an hour. I observed no change in their dresit. I did nbt hear them say one word about the deceased. • - Ann Spencer, the wife of Spencer.—All I know is, that my husband was out last Friday night. We have been married nine years, and I never knew him to be °tali night betbre, all night : sometimes he would get in liquor with his companion Johnson ; but he was always a good kind Husband, and regular in coming home to his meals and his bed. On the Friday, at half-past two o'clock in the afternoon, he came home, washed himself, and put on a waistcoat and another hat. Ile then said that he was going out, but would shortly return. I next saw him on Saturday morning, about ten o'clock. He appeared a little in liquor, and said dint he had been at Johnson's, and that he had got there at a little after two o'clock that morning. At the Pitt a Head a woman told me my husband had been drinking with the deceased on the Friday night at that house. Elie. Johnson, the wife of the other prisoner, said—My husband and Spencer came to our house about two o'clock on Saturday morning, and remained there till half-past five ; they then went out, and returned at seven o'clock : my husband was in liquor ; Spencer was more collected. The Magistrates asked them whether they wished to state any thing, but told them that they were not bound to do so un less they thought proper. Spencer said—On Thursday afternoon, I and my shipmate Johnson were out ; and on coming down Tooley-street, in the Borough, I said " We may as well go and see if Susan is at home ; ' and he went and came back, saying that she was not. (Here the prisoner said that he did not wish to state any thing more at present.) Neither of the prisoners attempted to give any account of themselves from the time they left the Wheatsheaf until they reached Johnson's house—an interval of two hours and a half. The Magistrates postponed the further investigation. On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock, the investigation of this mysterious circumstance was resumed in the Committee room of Camberwell Workhouse, before JAMES SCRI YEN, EN., JOHN Ni r ooer.Ev, Esq., Criarti.Es Gomm's - , ESq., GEORGE ALLEN, Esq., and other Magistrates of the County. The prisoners, Spencer and Johnson, were brought from Camberwell-cage, in which they had been confined during the night, attended by a considerable number of the inhabitants._ The only additional evidence of importance was the following : Gideon Lewis, constable of Camberwell, sworn.—l never, desired any man on Saturday last to go and search for things supposed to be stolen. I heard, on Friday night, that a gentle man's carriage had been robbed of an imperial, and that two men had been seen with it in Peckham-fields, by the canal bridge. On Saturday morning, about a quarter before six, a man came to my wife, and said he thought there had been a robbery committed on the bank of the canal, for he had found some linen. The person was a man about 45 or 50 years of age; he had an olive-col oure d smoc k -frock on, and I think he h a d gaiters on, but I am not certain. Underneath the frock he had a sort of corduroy coat on, like a game-keep er's jacket ; he said his name was Johnson, that he came to London to see the steward of Sir Charles Carew, M.P. He said that he had been down in Cornwall some length of time, look ing after a salmon fishery belonging to Sir Charles, a short dis tance from I3odmin. He described the mode of catching sal mon. I accompanied the man towards the canal. On arriving within twenty yards of the halfpenny hatch, he said, " This i s the place where I found the basket." The basket had a large pillow-case in it, without a mark. We went to the spot where he found the basket, and he wished me to get a rake, saving he was confident there was some property there. I told him that I doubted it. He said he had seen no persons about, except two men, then at a distance, whom I knew to be employed there. I thought the man might b e a li tt l e disordered in his mind. I watched him ; he went to a house near, and brought out a rake, like a hay-rake, and worked it backwards and forwards in the canal, just in the spot where the basket was found, which was about twenty yards from Back's house, on the same side.— About thirty yards from the spot the body was found, the same side of the water. hut on the other side of the gate. I left the man on the b a nk o f t h e cana l. B ac k came to me between 12 and one o'clock on Saturday, and informed me they had found the the body of a young woman in the water. I went to the Lord Nelson and saw the corpse, and noticed marks on the left arm ; the marks were much alike, and appeared to have been caused by the pressure of fingers. I heard that the landlord had search ed the body, and therefore did not do so. An Inquest after wards sat on the deceased. On Wednesday, between 12 anti 1 o'clock, I and Sedgley apprehended Johnson at a public house on Saffron-hill. We asked him a few questions, desired him to speak guardedly, and held out no promise of favour.— He said that he was out on the Friday night till two o'clock in the morning, and he was in the company of Spencer. He did not say that a woman was in their company, but he said, " he did not know where the woman went to ;" and he said, " that Spencer knew more about it than he did." Sedgeley took Johnson to Camberwell. I went to Hackney, and found that Spencer had left his employ to go to the Pitt's Head, Grange. road, Bermondsey. On my return from Hackney, at half-past six o'clock, Spencer was at the Pitt's Head. I took him into custody. I cautioned him against saying any thing to his own prejudice. I told him for what he was apprehended, and he denied knowing any thing about it. lie said afterwards, " that he had been with the young woman, and had had a bit of fun, or a fuddle ;" he also said that they went to a public house in the Mint, where they drank together, and that he parted with her at the top of the Dover-road. He afterwards said that it was very late, and they went to Johnson's house, and sat up. I think his words were, " We left her at the top of the Dover-road." I have made inquiry for the man that was raking the canal, but have not been able to learn any thing of him. He was a stranger to me, but was as familiar as if he had known me for years. The marks on the arms of the deceased when I saw them were of a blue cast; she had then been taken out of the canal about an hour and a half. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Scriven) having consulted for some time with his brother Magistrates, asked the prisoners if they had any witnesses who could prove in, what manner , they em ployed their time after the left the Wheat-sheaf public house, tiThwo o'clock on the saturday morising. The prisoner Spencer said, they had gentlemen in attendance to speak to their charactax. The Magistrate said, that the ease was involved in much mystery, and strong suspicions of foul play attached to the pri soners, in consequence of the marks of violence upon the body of the deceased, they being the last persons seen in her com pany previous to her death. The prisoners said they were innocent of the murder. The Magistrate said, that he hoped they would be able to substantiate their innocence, but he and his colleagues were of opinion, that justice demanded a more solemn investiga tion of the cause of the young woman's death. They there fort committed the prisoners t u . Horsemonger-lane, gaol, on suspicion of the murder of Mary Wilkins, and directed them to be brought to Union-hall on Wednesday next, for final exami nation before the police -magistrates of that office. The mother of the deceased said the body was not interred, and that the marks on the arms and side of the neck had be come more discoloured. The Magistrates ordered a surgeon to examine the body, prior to its interment, and directed that he and Mr. Pritchard, a surgeon in the Kent-road, who saw the body before the Jury sat upon it, should attend at Union-hall when the examination takes place Summonses were issued to compel the attendance of other witnesses, whose evidence is expected to be important. The officers were ordered to use all diligence in their power to apprehend the man seen raking the canal; and the Magistrates were of opinion, that publicity of this case in the newspapers was important, and likely to aid in its developement, as it was pregnant with suspicion.

A vous, Wanton, and I may add wicked, act, was never At, 'per haps, committed by any one bearing the rank and mime Olditer, and employed in the service of Government. ThIS man, , • neglecting his duty, is stated t o h av e ta k en a ll his Men from their regular employment, and occupied their Whole itterb , tion and their ihOle strength, in the destruction Of the igrositet natural curiosity afforded by Cornish, or any of the -neigh bouring Counties; and thereby deprived two or three .indui trious poor families of the principal part of their subsist";aoit conducting and exp l a i n i ng to travellers what they. had picked up of this great curiosity. It is said, and I should supposenot without foundation, that whilst employed in this wanton Mis chief, the smugglers, whom this man was employed to watch, took advantage of his absence, and smuggled a large quantity of their goods. This neglect of that duty, the only one for which he and his crew were employed at 411, partakes even of absolute criminality, and adds greatly to the heinousness of the offence. As he is probably under the orders of the Board Of Customs or Excise, I hope and indeed believe that the public in general will join with toe in opinion, that a strict in qu i ry should be Made into the circumstances f this mischievous and unprincipled act, :and if found to the extent and under the cit.. cumstances reported. 11, besides, Its stated in the Papers, he bears a commission in the Naval Service, and it may became a matter for the consideration of those Noble Lords who prioide over it, whether he might not be placed on what is usually termed their black list, to meet all applications that might here- , after he made for the employment of a party of that deseriptiOn in so honourable a service.
