r'. - 7U , r . 7..;1 j. Ni) COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed heavily, mad Surats were about 1-16 d. per lb. lower, but all kinds were unchanged. The sales were 9,000 bales 6,000 of which were taken on spe culation. In the Railway Share Market an im provement appeared and prices advanced. Owing to the disturbed condition of affairs in New York, and also in India, business in the ma nufacturing districts of the north of E!igland is ex ceedingly dull, and as several failures have been produced, there is rather an unsasy feeling. In Manchester several silk houses have succumbed, and in some of the other towns, it is feared, similar ' disasters will occur. The losses resulting from the crash in New York must involve the credit of firms at hoMe and it is satisfactory, therefore, to be able to state that the advices brought home by the Persia on Saturday were rather more assuring. Those from India, also, are considered the most encouraging yet received ; so that, after all, the depression caused by the recent course of events may not prove so lasting as was at first apprehended. When order is restored in the East, and confidence is re-established in the United States, business will revive, and the strain may speedily relax. A more hopeful feeling evi dently exists, despite the elevated rate for dis counts, and the knowledge that a rapid recovery is almost impossible. The advance in the minimum by the Bank on Thursday, and the expectation of further restrictive measures, seems to have caused additional gloom among the manufacturers, who have many obstacles to contend against, especially the dearness of money and of the raw materials. The stocks of goods are light, and the most C All— tiOUS policy is pursued in all departments, and thus there is less embarrassment than might otherwise have been expected. The letters and papers by the steamer Persia were delivered this morning. Their contents, upon the whole, are less unfavourable ' and the crisis ap pears to have been p a ssed. The City Banks had succeeded in further strengthening their position, and no alarm whatever was felt regardinetthem, while with respect to the establishments in Philadelphia, measures had been taken to suspend specie pay ments, and business woul I be conducted on a paper currency for probably 12 months. The bankers in New York had decided to extend their discount accommodation, and this would greatly relieve the position of the trading community. The next two or three mails, although they may record nu merous cases of individual misfortune, are expected to prove more satisfactory, and a slow but steady recovery is anticipated. FURTHER INCREASE IN THE MINI MUM RATE OF DISCOUNT. A considerable degree of excitement has been produced in the City this morning by the Bank of England directors having raised the rate to 7 per cent. This measure was not wholly unexpected, but so serious a movement naturally occasioned general uneasiness. Unable any longer to withstand the severe pressure upon their reserves of notes and gold the authorities deemed it prudent to act with promptitude, and not to wait until , the usual Thursday meeting. Ample evi dence is thus afforded of the perplexed situation of the financial affairs ; and fears are freely expressed that further restrictive measures will yet be resorted to. The alteration applies to all de scriptions of paper, and, as there is no distinction as in 1856 and 1855, it is decidedly a more stringent regulation than any adopted since 1847. The effects of this change will be most disastrous, especially if, as there is every reason to apprehend, the stringency will not be of a temporary character. Irrespective of the adverse influence of the Indian and American disturbances, the tendency of the demand for our own purposes and the increasing stringency of the Continent indicated additional pressure, but the effects of the New York panic and the Indian Loan have greatly aggravated the financial disorder now witnessed. The injury that will be inflicted upon all branches of business is almost incalculable, and numerous weak firms:must necessar il y succumb, sincethey will have to pay a most usurious rate of interest for the accommodation necessary to transact their business. The trade of the country is conducted to such an immense extent upem credit that the alteration de cided upon this morning must jeopardise such firms as have not the enjoyment of a first rate reputation. The majority of our commercial houses may be of what is termed a second or third rate character, and though highly,respectable, must Buffer serious inconvenience by the enactment of , rueh a stringent regulation. The allowance for deposits "on call" has been increased to 61 per cent., which must cause a general depression of all classes of speculative securities yielding an inferior rate of interest. Immediately the alteration became known, the Funds receded about f per cent., and it is almost unnecessary to remark that the Stock Ex change has been in a most excited state all the morning. As the news from India and -America has arrived, the speculators are in a position to form a more correct opinion as to the future, and they have not hesitated to press sales to a considerable extent. Consols have been 881 / for money, and 90i to for ac count. They have since receded to 881 and 881 re spectively. The present prices are 871 l and 871 respectively, which is a further decline of 1 per cent. Tho New Threes were 871 I ; and the Reduced, 871 d. Bank Stock was 211 213 k. In dia Bonds, 211. Exchequer Bills were 6 - s. dis count. Foreign Stocks are all 'depressed, and a large business has been done. Turkish 6 per Cents. have dropped to 88 and 881. The present price is 85-s 86, and the 4 per Cents, are 971 98. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 401 /. SArdinian 891 c 90/, and Peruvian 76 to 77. Some of the other securities are as follows:—Brazilian 5 per Cents. (1829-39) 99 to 991, Dutch 2i per Cents. 644, Ditto 4 per Cents. 97i. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign.

The Railway Share Market this morning has exhibited a very excited appearance, and the de cline in values has been about to 1 per cent., prices having been influenced by the downward ten dency of the English Funds.

ER 12 1857 MA 3'.a,:` Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of wheat wore on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday; nevertheless, the demand for most kinds was in a sluzgisb state, and prices ruled the turn in favour of buyers. All spring corn moved off slowly, but no change took place in value. The continental markets continue dull for wheats, at drooping currencies. At New York, both wheat and flour have fallen considerably in value. Only limited supplies of home produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 13,115 quarters of wheat, 11,552 barley, 28,942 oats, 310 beans, 614 peas, 7,415 linseed, 3340 rapeseed, 370 mustard seed, 3,390 sundry seeds, and 297 sacks of flour. Only a limited supply of wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day from Essex. From Kent the receipts were slightly on the increase. Owing to the continuance of damp weather, many of the samples were somewhat out of condition, consequently less saleable than in some previous weeks. The attendance of millers was far from numerous, and, on the whole, the trade was in a sluggish state. A few fine dry samples sold at last Monday's quotations ; but other kinds were 2s. per quarter lower. We.were well supplied with foreiga grain, fresh as well as ex-granary; even the finest qualities moved off heavily, but we have no quotable change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were mostly held at full quota tions. The show of barley was on the increase, but it was chiefly composed of inferior qualities. Fine malting sam ples sold freely at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off heavily at irregular currencies. The demand for malt was steady, though far from active, at last week's quotations. Wo were well supplied with oats, in which a steady business was transacted at previous rates. Beans sold slowly, on former terms to le. per quarter decline. The sale for peas was rather steady, at full prices. Flour changed hands slowly, and the quotations were with difficulty supported.

To exaggerate the interest which attaches to the com ing encounter for the Cesarewitch is almost impossible. Wherever a racing man is to be found, whether in the United Kingdom, in Frit' ce, or in America, his thoughts turn to Newmarket and the Great Handicap which is to be decided on Tuesday. Indeed, amongst the com petitors will be the representatives cf the French and American turf, and, if report be true, Ru , sia itself will era long send a champion to do battle for an event for which it furnishes a name. The aspect of Newmarket is certainly not cheering. Although the " special' brought a large accession of visitors into the town, and although the arrivah of horses are very numerous, yet the streets are as deserted as the most inveterate lover of peace and quietness could desire. A bright light, it is true, flickers across the road from the White Hart, and in the yard attached to that comfortable hostelry waiters flit stealthily to and fro, but the small sign of life and animation visible there but deepens by contrast the sur rounding gloom and darkness. To discover the all im portant secret, the winner of the Cesarewitch, is more difficult than determining under which thimble the little pea is hid—perhaps infinitely more puz zling than to guess Professor Anderson's prize conundrum. It is wonderful, however, what "good things" some people possess, but the man who has a "gaol thing" is the very man to be avoided. I will cqnfess candidly that I have not a "gold thing"—that, in fact, I was never more perplex-JI by any race than by the Cisarewitch, but I will also acknowled„;e that I have carefuFy and impartially weighed the " pros and cons," and that the selection which I shall make will be one that may honestly be defended. So much has been written —and such nonsense, too—about the Cesarewitch com petitors that I shall not bore the reader by recapitulating every argument which may be advanced either for or against certain animals, but shall touch very lightly upon those horses who either bold, or are entitl-d to hold, a prominent poAtion in the betting. I have fre quently declared my disbelief in the boasted ability of dark horses, and my prejudice against them compels me to regard M. Dobler with susp!cior. The Dobler is to all intents and purposes thoroughly dark, but if his trial with Black Tommy (by the way, did he ever have one ?) be correct, the horse's merits are not likely to be long hidden. The first and only time I saw the Dobler was at Reading last year when he appealed to me to be a well built animal enough, and ono likely to train on to advantage. His Shrewsbury running must not be taken into considera tion, for, if the reporters are to be believed, he bad no business to win in that "land of cakes." His owner is a shrewd turf tactician, and it is with reluctaace that I oppose him, but I certainly cannot " stand" the Dobler. - - Warlock is slow, and I do not think that he will find the raee run to his liking. The Plush colt, after attain ing almost the sic plush, ultra of popularity, hag seem ingly been unable to bear his plushing honours so thick upon him as his backers intended. Tire Cambridgeshire, and not the Casiarwitch, will be his mark. Lima has so long been the " coming animal," that now when we are not required to wait a little longer, she really ought to do something to justify the reputation which has pre. ceded her. She is weighted favourable enough, and if her racing ability has not been greatly exaggerated, she ought to figure at least respectably in the very respectable company in which she will find herself. Fright and Renown—anld acquaintance—will assuredly run well, and I shall not be surprised to see either of them close to the winner at the finish. Eloquence has superseded her stable companion Aster in the betting, b It I do not think she will bear the ducal c)1 curs very prominently. Hartley Buck taught us not to underrate old and even a worse animal than Poacher would, at the weights, be entitlsd to favourable notice. He has been highly tried, and, if my information be correct, the favourite will find him very troublesome. I was once inclined to entertain a high opinion of Mary's chance, but circum stances have compelled me to look elsewhere for a cham pion. Neither time nor space will permit me to refer to the other animals. If Mr. Clark doss not assign the first place to either _ _ EL lIAKrx or THE POACHER I shall be greatly disappointed. Should Baron Rothschild bring out his Derby colt, Mentmore, for the Cleurtycll, his colours ought to be successful. A FRESII MAN. TATTERSALL'S.—SATURDAY. CEMAREWITCII. 6to 1 apt M.

This establishment continues to gain golden opinions in all quarters for the excellence and propriety of its amusements and arrangements. La Presse de Loudres considers it the first place among metropolitan places of recrea tion. It counsels foreigne , s resident in Lutdon to extend their researches beyond the regions round Leicester-square, and gives an ac count of a recent visit to the Canterbury :—" The concert was excellent. We especially admired Picco the blind minstrel, whose intellectual faculties are wholly concentrated in his instru ment. His dreams, his tears, his joy, all the sentiments of his soul aro adequately ex pressed by the little pipe, which he invented and performs on. What charms of harmony, what expression, at ono time soft, at another stormy, does he evoke ft om this marvellous instrument ! Picco was recalled five or six times by the enthu siastic audience. Miss Russell, niece of the cele brated floury Russell, was greatly applauded in an air from the " Trovatore," which she sung with considerable grace and feeling, and we trust that her talents may be so appreciated as to cause it to be exercised on a lager stage. Madame Marietta likewise rendered perfect justice to the pieces which she sang. We should also notice the Irish dance of Mr. Collins, and the exertions of the other artists, but for the present we must limit ourselves to stating that each and all of them contributed to the success of the evening and the amusement of the spectators.

The sheep wore, for the most part, in good condition. Com pared with Monday last, the supply of English beasts on offer exhibited a falling off, and most breeds were in very middling condition. The attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous, and the beef trade ruled somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of 2d per 8 lbs. The beat breeds sold without difficulty at 5s per 8 lbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of England, 260 of various breeds ; and from Ireland, 350 oxen, via Liverpool. For the time of year, we were very scantily supplied with sheep, both as to number and quality. Notwith standing that the mutton trade was by no means brisk, prices were well supported. The general top figure for Downs was 5s per 8 lbs, but we may state that a few very superior pens realised prices rather over that quota tion. From Ireland, 160 sheep came fresh to hand. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, sold slowly, and prices gave way 2d per 8 lbs. The supply of pigs was rather limited, and the sale ruled firm, at full quotations.

(Tins Day.) MARL BO ROUG H: STREET. ROBBERY BY AN ERRAND BOY.—George Payne, an errand boy in the empl o y o f Mr. P. R. Newman, tailor, 102, Regent's-quadraut, wa3 charged before Mr. Bing- ham with stealing two pistol?, the property of his master. Edward Tornkine, foreman to the prosecutor, stated that on Saturday morning he asked the prisoner to take three letters to Cleilten we ll, and was about placing them in his pocket f or safety when he said his pockets were already full and he had no roam for them. Witness desired him to empty his pockets, which he did, and pulled out the brace of pistols produced, the property of his master. 00 taxing him with the theft the prisoner ~aid he was not going to steal them, he was only going to show them to his brother. The prisoner was then given into custody. The prisoner now pleaded guilty, and was committed to the House of Correction for three mouths. WATCEI ROBBERY. —John Woodham, a well-looking youth, was charged with stealing a gold watch, value 301., the property of Mr. George H. Johnsen, a gentle man residing iu Pall mall. Police-constable 40 C stated that, about half-past 12 on Saturday night, he was on duty in the Haymarket, when he saw the prisoner in company with two other lads. He watched them, and saw the prisoner go up to a gentleman and snatch his watch from his waistcoat pocket. Witness seized hold of him, when he threw the watch away into the gutter. Wituede picked up the watch, and conveyed the prisoner to the station. The prosecutor was not at present in attendance, and the accused was therefore remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. CRUEL INVEIGLE MIENT AND Rummy. Robins Compton, a girl only 16 years of age, was charged with inveigling a poor half-witted young woman to a low house in Union•court, Orchard-street, Westminster, and there plundering her of all she possessed. Matilda Leur , a Higgins, a very respectable-!ooking young woman, about 25 years of age, said that on this day fortnight she was sitting in the Green park, when the prisoner came up and entered into conversation with her; after which she invited her to c , me home to her house to have some refreshment. She consented, and accom panied her to Unioc-court, Orchard-struet, where after some time, on her complaining of being tired, the prisoner invited her to go to bed. She did so, and on awaking found the prisoner gone. She got up to dress herself, and then discovered that the accused had not only robbed her et 75., which was ad the money she posse.sed, but had carried oft her bonnet, shawl, frock, boots, stock ings, and under clothing. Mr. Paynter--How did you leave the place without your clothing ? Pro ecutrix—Some kind women in the neighbourhood, when they heard of my distress, lent me things to cover me, and then I succeeded in gettieg home. My mother told the police, and the prisoner was taken into custody. A young woman proved seeing the prisoner leaving the house with the poor girl' s clothing, which was valued at 301. Mr. Pay nter considered it a very cruel rAbery and remanded the prisoner fur a week. THAMES. STRANGE CONDUCT Or A SAlLOR.—Lawrence Thomp son, a Scotchman, and recently paid off from the ship Glencoe, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with assaulting James Hobbs, a boarding-house keeper, of Strathmore-terrace, Shad well. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that the prisoner had lodged with him five days, and was very quiet and temperate, anti apparently in good health, until Saturday evening, when he came home and said he was ill. The prisoner looked very strange, and vomited a good deal in the yard. Tue prisoner went up t ) his bt:dro nu, laid down a short time, and then got up and dressed himself, and said he was very bad. The prisoner continued in the same restless state, lying down for a short time, getting up again, and talking about things flying in the front of his face until about midnight, when he said he should like to have some spirits. A bottle of gin was procured, and he poured out a glassful, which the prisoner applied to his lips, re fused to drink it, and said "No, no, no; that won't do for me." Ile then persuaded the prisoner to go to bed again, and waited upon him and endeavoured to coin pose him. The prisoner appeared distracted in his mind, and attempted to injure himself and brisk the property in the room. This Listed until half-past one on Sunday morning, when the prisoner rushed out of bed, seized him, and attempted to throw him over the bannister of the staircase. A violent struggle took place,and in the course of that struggle, Mrs. Hublie, who came to his assistance, received a violent blow train the prisoner's elbow—with great difficulty he got away from the prisoner, who rushed down stairs calling out murder and police. The prisoner got the street door open, and ran up and down several streets yelling, raving, and calling out murder. The police at length seized him and lodged him in the station-house. In answer to questions by Mr. SJfe, the prosecutor said the prisoner was not drunk on Saturday. He re ceived his images at the Sailors' Home In Well-street, and left part of them there. A police-constabl e said the prisoner was running on very strangely i n th e station, and h a d th e a ppearance of a man Who h a d b een d rinking to excess . The prisoner —I d ran k man y things on Saturday, and some one gave m e p o i son. Mr. Self° re man d e d the prisoner, and dir ected that a surgeon should e xam i ne him as to his state of mind. LOSS OF TBE STEAMER EMPEROR. The following is taken from the Mon i t eur of yes' erday : " A telegraphic d espatch says the Journal du Havre of the 9th i us t ., addressed' to the British Consul residing at th at port, and confirming by an ticipation a letter f rom Fecamp, that has arrived since, aunounce3 that this steamer, bound from Newca4tle for Rouen, with a lading of coal, went on shore on Thursday evening, at about 9 o'clock, below the Grainvel reefs. Eight or nine persons, one of them a woman, who tried to save themselves without waiting for help from the land, fell victims to their too great baste. The remainder of the crew and passengers, together with the captain , 13 or 14 persons in all, were saved by means of a rope with a sliding seat. Among the saved, themwas, it is sail, a young man of Rotten. "Respecting the state of the steamer, the letter from Fecamp, dated Friday evening, expressed a fear of the ship's being broken up if the wind con tinued to blow with the same violence, but the de spatch forwarded this morning encourages the hope of her being got off."

THE NIGHTINGALE FUND.—In reply to a letter in-1 quiring " What has become of the large sum collected for the purpose of t rentin g - a memorial o f th e serv ices of Miss Nightingale , " Mr. S . C. hall Rays that the money collected —amounting to 41 ,8511. 7s. 41. (since aug mented by other subscrip tnans)— was oo ths 20th of June paid into the hands of fiv e trustees, appointed by Miss Nightingale to receive it. They inv es t e d th e sum in government securities, bearing intt rest. Unhappily the state of Miss N.'s health does not, as yep, enable her to apply that fund to the purpose for which it was raised —and for which purpose alone she consented to receive it—" to establish an institution for the training, suste nance, and protection of nurses and hospital attendants. A report, accompanied by a balance sheet of receipts and txpenlitare, has been published by direction of the comm'ttee. SAM COWELL AT WHITELL4VEN. Had wo not heard Sam Cowell before, wo should almost have been persuaded, by his insinuating and bewitching performance in the theatre, on Tuesday evening, to have forgotten the vocation in which we appeared before him, and have joined a , numerous audience in their encore. Sam Cowell is no "low comedian." Ho ap proaches and reaches to, without inappropriate gesture, all that was intendei by him and expected by his company. He personifies human nature as it i 4, and net unfrequoutly or inaptly delineates it as it will be, quickly turning— From grave to gay, from lively to severe. The compositions that aro represented by him, be sides being of an order unexceptionable "to ears polite," are, though not such as the ecclesiastic could applaud, such as lie could not substantially condemn. Excellent music, too, accompanies Sam ; and what is more, Samivel accompanies it. But we shall be told we are trying to be funny ; and certainly to make essay in that direction on so genuinely funny a chap as Sam Cowell, would be indiscreet as " whistling at an inquest 1" But for the " Humiliation Day," of a humiliated Government, the public would.have had a second opportunity of hearing this most legitimate son of Momus. His name, however, we trust will not lose place in the memory of those who pleased to hear him on Tuesday evening ; and that if over lie should revisit Whitehaven, hinted by him as prob able, that recollection will be abundantly attested. The songs sung by Mr. Cowell wore the follow ing :—Alonzo the Brave and the Fair Imogene ; this Musical Age ; Adventures of Robinson Crusoe ; " Perpetual Motion," or the Man with the Leg of Cork ; The Artful Dodger's Farewell to Hengland • A Tale of a Disma l Swa mp ; The Ratcatcher'; Daughter.-.-Whitehaven News.

LATEST PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.) The mystery in which this extraordinary affair is involved appears as great now as when the remains of the unfortunate individual were first discovered, and we believe we are correct in stating that the police have no more positive information on which to proceed in the detection of the guilty parties than that we traced out and published on Saturday. With reference to the rumour in circulation on Sa turday, that it was a medical students' hoax, great indignation has been expressed in many quarters in consequence. There canbe no doubt that such a course of proceeding is reprehensible to the greatest extent, and not in any way to 1 .- :e pardoned, but it is the duty of the press to chronicle such facts in conneition with events:of this kind as come to their knowledge, and which not only appear to bear on the subject under investigation, but such as are put forth with something like authority ; that doubts were entertained on Saturday relative to whether this really was or was not a murder is true, and it is also true that certain individuals of posi tion examined the mutilated remains with a view of arriving at a correct conclusion whether or not the body had been mutilated by unprofe6sional hands. The opinion ultimatelyarrived at, webelievo, was that the body had been roughly treated by unprofQssional hands, and that the saw with which the bones had been cut was not such as that used by professional men. Another examination of the remains made this morning in Mr. Superin tendent Durkin's private-room, by Mr. Painter the divisional surgeon, and other eminent surgical gentlemen, leaves no doubt on their mind that the body was cut up by persons who have no know ledge of the mode of proceeding adopted by medical men. As is usual on occasions of this kind, when there is great excitement in the public mind, various reports are in circulation as to the time and plat) when the unfortunate individual who, now there is no doubt, was foully murdered, lost his life. One which coin cides with the supposition expressed by us on Saturday that the foul and inhuman deed was perpetrated on the Surrey side of the water in oneof those many houses of infamy which are to be found in that district, is the mysterious disappear ance of a man who, about three weeks since, re, sided in the neighbourhood of St. George's-road. He is described as a man about the size represented by the remains found, and attention was directed to his movements from the quantity of jewellery be wore about his person, and . his great in difference to the value of money ; he at all times had an abundance of gold and silver in his pockets, and his great delight appeared to be to treat every one he met with that would accept of his bounty and drink with him. Another state ment is that of a lad employed upon the Morning Post, who imagines from the description given of the clothes that they are similar to those he saw on a gentlemanly looking man who was hustled, a short time since, into a door-way of one of the questionable houses in the neighbourhood of Old Drury. However, the police are most active in their endeavours to discover the guilty parties, but we fear that their exertions will be fruitless until such time as the clothes are identified--a difficulty which various circumstances will render doubtful for some time, from the probability of the murdered man having resided a great distance from London, and which will be greatly further delayed should he prove to be a foreigner, an inference which the style and texture of his clothes leads to the sup position of. Late on Saturday night Ethorington,the toll col lector, was taken by the police authorities to a locality it would ba inexpedient now to name, to see two females it was supposed corresponded in appearance with the woman who passed over Waterloo bridge on Thursday night with the big and parcel, but after a careful and minute inspec tion (without any knowledge on their part of what was going on) ho stated his inability to identify either of them, although one of them very st►ik ingly resembled the woman referred to. As yet no clue has been obtained relative to the carpet-bag, or the cord by which it was lowered on to the buttress. From the first announcement of the discovery of the remains to the present time, scarcely an hour has passed without one or more persons calling at Bow-street police station, to have a view of the clothes to ascertain if they belong to some relation wbohas mysteriously left his home, but,hitherto, no identification has tiken place. The number of such visitors leads almost to the supposition that such horrible deeds are more frequent in the me tropolis than is supposed from those which occasion ally come to light, and startle the community with the horribly brutal and disgusting manner in which they must have been perpetrated. The inquest on the remains will be held this afternoon, and we intend in a late edition to give a full report of the proceedings before the coroner. -1 :,.••nir • 4am,vm.l••• lual..w.onwW.. , • When on the barge the bag was opencd.ly.Jehn and its contente taken out.

The bones and tlothing were replaced, and we rowed ashore and gave 'ho bag and its contents to the police. It was bi.-11 water at the time we found the bag, and it was about ix inches frem the water. I don't know if the pre vious tide was higher. I can't say if the bag was we', tut the clothes in it were. I did not take particular eotice of the leather bottom and sides of the bag to be able to state if they were wet. John I(ilsby, of Iticbarcl-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth lighterman, deposed—Between 5 and G o'clock, )0 Friday morning my brother and the last witness came to my barge in a beat. Tuey said they had got a prize. I told them to give it to me, but they did not like to - ouch it. I took it out of the boat, and as it was locked forced it open. The clothes produced were in the bag. ['he remains were tied up in the clothes with a string round. The coat was torn up the back and was :11 the same state as when we found them. The clothes were not very wet at the time, they might have been damp—they became wet by their being put at the bottom of the boat where there was some water. The cones I put in a basket, and the clothes I replaced in the bag. I afterwards gave them up to the police. C. J. Venus, 95 F, deposed—Shortly after 7 o'clock on Friday morning I was on duty in the Adelphi arches when the boy Kilsby came up to me and told me ttley ha i a quantity of things lying down at the Fox-under-the hill. I went there and found the clothes, carpet-bag, and a quantity of bones lying on he pavement. I examined them ; the clothes were rather wet—some more than others. They were lying n a dry spot. I had the things put into a bag, and took them to the police station. Their weight was about a quarter of a cat. I delivered them at the Eta .ion to Sergeant Buck. I noticed at the time marks of blood on the shirt and under-shirt, and seven cuts on ~ he breast of the shirt. [(ley are together all of a cluster.] By the Coroner, to Kileby—Did you notice these cuts 1 Kiltby—Yes. Sergeant Buck, 5 F, deposed—About 8 o'clock on Friday morning, James Barber and Frank Kileby came to the station in company with Venus. They had ac, r• pat bag with them, which they said they had found that morning on one of the buttresses of Waterloo.bridge. "'hey described to him how and where they found it, as above described. Witness examined the contents, and found that the shirts and one of the coats were (narked with blood. Ile found cuts in the drawers, and they all appeared to have been made by ,ne instrument. I found no marks on the linen by which they could be identified, I then seat for Mr. Painter, the divisional surgeon. Mr. Painter deposed—l reside in Brydges-street, and am the divisional surgeon. On Friday morning I was celled to the Pow-street Police•statiou about 9 o'clock. When I arrived I was shown the bag produced and i's contents, a quantity of bones. The clothes produced were lying by its side. I took the bones out of the bag and examined them, and proceeded to fit them together. I discovered that all the bones produced be longed to one individual, forming together a complete skeleton, with the exception of the head, the whole of the neck, and seven of the dorsal bones, several portions of the ribs were missing, likewise the bones of the hands, feet, lower side of the left clavicle, and lower third of the left fibula ; most all the bones were sawn into one or more portions ; the flesh appeared to have been cut off in a rough haggling manner ; it evidently hid not been laden off by a scientific person, or with a sharp knife ; portions of flesh only remained, one on each side of the wrist and one on the left breast, showing ...hat the deceased had been a vigorous adult. The flesh adhering to the bones was neither fresh nor in a state of general decomposition, there being incipient decomposi tion only apparent in the left thigh-bone. The capsular ligament of the hip joint was cut open, and on rotating the head of the thigh-bone he perceived a strong smell of decomposition, and saw several blue marks produced thereby. The whole of the remainder of the muscles and bones were covered with a saline, gritty matter like salt, and to that I attribute the preservation of the bones. Oa the surface the flesh was reddish brown, and when cut into a brighter red, like salt beef. The whole of the viscera is missing. The second, third, and fourth ribs of the left aide, with a piece of the sternum attached, has a stab in it, and exactly corresponding in position and direction (the direction of the cuts being upwards and downwards) to that on the shirt and under shirt. A. wound in the flesh would appear smaller on the linen, though inflicted wltli the same instrument. Around the wound a great deal of blood had extravasated into the tissues, showing that the wound must have been inflicted during life. Hero blood had infiltrated round the wound to the extent o about two or three inches. The two or three ribs be low were missing, which accounts for the absence of the stabs as shown in the clothes. All the limbs were sawn, not broken. Great roughness had been used in cutting up the body, but generally speaking the bones were clean cut. There were one or two false cute, which showed that a ♦ery fine saw had been used. The cartilege of the back bones had been cut in two where the division has taken place. On examining the bones with regard to the sex, I think they belong to a male. Tne pelvis presents some exoeptions to the usual confor mation of the male pelvis,the internal measurement being larger than is usual in the male. There is no deformity in it. lof course do not swear deceased was not a male. Judging from the length of the bones, I should think deceased was about 5 feet 8 inches in height. I found a great deal of hair adhering to the muscles and bones of the body, which I now produce. The hair which belonged to the head is black, or of a ♦ery dark colour, and so is that of the whiskers. I don't think salt would have altered its colour. B.:sides these I found four hairs that, from their length, might possibly be those of a fema'e. I don't suppose that they belong to the body, or that it is the body of a female. I have no doubt the body was Cut after tL so zigidity of death had set in, from the position of the remains of the bones in the joints of the knee and thigh, and the same with reference to the left fore-arm. From the decomposition of the hip joiot, I should say that a week must have elapsed since death. 1 should not be surprised if the body had been boiled, from the maneer of the contraction of the remaining muscles. There was not the least appearance about the remains of their having been used for anatomical pur poses. No one in the slightest degree acquainted with anatomy would have cut the body up in such a trouble some roundabout manner as this ; but more than that, the muso'ee, nerves, arteries, and bones were destroys d for anatomical purposes. Henry Errington, toll collector at Waterloo-bridge, was then examined, and gave similar evidence to that already published. When the woman passed with the bag there was no string about it. There RAS nothing remarkable about the woman. She had on a black bonnet and mantle, and her hair grey, some thing like a footman's matted down. She appeared ae tated, but did not appear as if she bad walk3d much distance. He thought she was hurrying to catch the late train at the South-Western Railway. Her voice was gruff and very masculine. She was a short woman. If I could see her again in the same dress I think I could THE INQUEST.—(This Afternoon'. At 3 o'clock this afternoon an inquest was held on the remains at the Strand Union Board-room, Bow street, before Mr. Bedford, coroner for the city of West minster, and a respectable jury. A large number of persons were present, and great interest was manifested in the proceedings. The jury having been sworn, proceeded to the police station and viewed the mutilated remains. On their return The Jamey Bbr, Coroner are called , sworn,d the foel Ipsed o o wi ng —le resi witnesses : at 2, Lumley-court, Strand, and worked for Messrs. Smith and Son, coal merchants, as a labourer. On Friday morning I was rowing up the river in a boat from Greenwich, between five and six o'clock in the morning, and when near Waterloo-bridge I saw the carpet-bag produced lying on its side on the top of the third buttress of the bridge. I was aboat two arche4 away from it when I saw it, and called Frank Kilsby's attention to it. I asked him if he saw anything on the buttress of the bridge, be said " Yes ; a carpet bag, and it looks bulky ; make haste and we shall get it." We went to the buttress and saw a string hanging from it into the water. We caught hold of it and got it into the boat, and seeing no one on the bridge we rowed with it up the river to a barga at Lambeth where we were going.
