The appearance of war has been kept up at Chalons to the end. The great camp-drama began with an imperial proclamation promising victories. It closed yesterday with a distribution of meda3e, given by the Emperor him_ self to the soldiers, who, in the sham fights of the few past weeks, have exhibited diligence and ♦alour. Soon after this ceremony the Empress left for Paris; the Em peror will remain at the Camp until Saturday. The following order of the day has been published : Camp of Chalons, Oct• 8. Soldiers !—The time which we have passed together will not have been lost. Your military instruction has been improved, and the bonds which united us have been drawn closer. When General Bonaparte had concluded the glorious peace of Campo Formio, he hastened to again place the conquerors of Italy in the platoon and battalion training, thus showing how useful he considered it, even for old soldiers, to constantly fall back on the fundamental rules of theory. That lesson has not been forgotten ; as, scarcely had you returned from a glorious campaign, when you applied yourselves with zeal to the practical study of evolutions, and you have now inaugurated the camp at Chalons, which is to serve as a great school of manoeuvres for the whole army. The Imperial Guard will thus always set a good example, in peace as well as in war. Instructed, disciplined, and ready to undertake and support everything for the welfare of the country, it will be for the line, out of which it comes, a just object of emulation, and will contribute with it to preserve intact that old reputation of our immortal phalanxes, which have only succumbed from the excess of their glory and of their triumphs.—NAPOLEON. This document is remarkable. We will . not speak of the comparison between the conquest of Italy and the storming of the Malakoff, but we think it to be rather curious that immediately after the fond embraces of Stuttgardt, the Emperor alludes in' such expressive words to the glory of the Crimean campaign. Then, we have it officially from the pen of the Emperor that the Camp of Chalons will be a permanent one, and will serve as a great school of manoeuvres for the whole army. Lastly, the assertion, that the immortal phalanxes of France only succumbed from the excess of their glory and of their triumphs, is, wo think destined to be a con solation for the soldiers who might be dissatisfied a' being not sufficiently enraged in foreign wars. The Emperor seems to mean : "I am peaceable only out of regard to the welfare of my soldiers ; T shield them against the excesses of triumph, because these would be followed by a speedy downfall." The Legislative Body will probably be convoked for the month of December, as the Constitution requires it to assemble within a certain period after the elections, in order to verify the return of its members. A Vienna letter in the Nuremburg Gazette states that Baron de Hubner, Austrian Ambassador in Paris, remit ted to the Emperor Napoleon, at Chalons, an autographic letter from the Emperor Francis Joseph, relative to the Principalities and to the reciprocal concessions which might solve that difficulty. A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, arnrms that the Chinese question will be taken up again by France and England. Baron Gros, the French Ambassador, as well as Lord Elgin, will try to negotiate directly with the Court of Pekin. As soon as the bad faith or the weak ness of the Chinese Government will have been brought to light, the blockade of the Canton river will be followed by stronger measures. The combined squadrons of England and France will attack the city of C triton ; it is even thought probable that the allied forces will penetrate fnrther into the interior of the country. Russia, also, is picking a quarrel with the - Celestial Empire. The Russian admiral rutiatine has received orders to take the squadron stationed at the river Amoor and to sail with it to Shanghai, where he will be joined by a squadron of five minor ships of war. He is instructed to demand satisfaction from the Chinese Government for its having refused to receive the extraordinary mission which the Emperor of Russia wished to send to Pekin. The Spe-kteur expresses a hope that the day of humi_ liation in England may not have been lost on the statesmen of that country, and that the reflection which that day must have inspired, may haye cured them of that ttquarrelsorne, unjust, and aggressive policy which has weaned the sympathies of the Continent of Eogland":— England, says that journ4l. has good reason to humble herself, and should the Almighty re-establish her former power, we trust that this humiliation will bear its fruits, and that the meditations of this day of prayer will not be lost. A grautl dud Solemn opportunity has hpen offered to the statesmen who have governed that country for years past, to reflect on their policy. We need only repeat what the best friends of Englawl in the French press have affirmed—that their quarrelsome, unjust, and aggressive policy, has done everything but obtain for England the sympathies of the continent. And when this rule, which seemed to grasp at everything, was seen to be menaced on the point where it appeared to be the best established, the general sentiment was not that which ought to have prevailed at the spectacle of the horrible duel raging in India between civilisation and barbarism. It must nevertheless be admitted, that a grand and noble sight is offered by this nation—so haughty, so full of its power—humbling itself at the voice of its Sovereign before the hand which chastises it, and imploring God to bestow on it the strength to conquer. These are signs by which tie recognise a strong and free people, and a nation called upon to accomplish high destinies. THE NORTHERN TIMES,---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1857. PRUSSIA. The King of Prussia is alarmingly ill. A telegraph'c despatch from Berlin, dated yesterday, says o The health of the King of Prussia has been rapidly getting worse during the last 24 hours. Groat fears are entertained of his life. All the members of the Royal family are assembled at Potsdam. SPAIN. MADRID, OCT. 7. The Espana, which is a semi-official authority, says that the ministerial crisis is iu the same situation to-day as it was yesterday. Rumours are circulated, and gentle men are mentioned as likely to be included in the new Cabinet ; but as we do not like to hazard statements on such grave matters, we will confine ourselves to announ. cing that up to the present moment nothing has been decided relative to the new ministry. The matter must, however, be settled in a few hours. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 30.—M. Pellissier and Colonel Simmond, the French and English members of the Com mission for settling the Turco-Russian frontier in Asia, have arrived at Constantinople on board the ship Ger mania. The Ottoman elmm's sioners limsein Pasha and Osman Bey arrived to-slay. The labours of the Com mission are concluded. The squadron of Lord Lyons came to an anchor in the harbour of Navarino on the 26. h September, upon its arrival from Malta, DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. JASSY, OCTOBER 6.—As a telegraph despatch reports the Divan of Moldavia was opened on Sunday with a speech of the Metropolitan. The discourse is recommended for its moderation, it.was favourably received ; the most perfect tranquility has prevailed in the assembly. THE FRENCH PRESS AND THE INDIAN MUTINY. The Presse, referring probably: to an extraordinary change in the tone of the Debats within the last week, re_ specting the affairs of India, says : We have never associated ourselves' with the con tinually swelling concert of attacks and maledictions against England, which we find at the present moment in a portion of the French press—a spectacle, which in our opinion is quite out of keeping with French generosity. We have never in any way attempted to deny the faults and vices of the English Government in the East Indies. Neither have we underrated the gravity of the present crisis. We believe that England is now suffering one of the greatest trials that has ever b , fallen her; and we believe this, like every other trial a nation suffers, to be well deserved. But can it be said that England has com mitted any extraordinary crimes? She has governed badly and urjustly, and she suffers the consequences. But what are the fiscal exactions of the English in India compared to the monstrous horrors of the Spanish conquest in America ? People talk of nationalities, and they do not reflect that the enemies of the English were themselves originally invaders in India. They forget also that there was a time when France disp•lted ►he empire of India with England. Further, they seem not to know that we our selves hold our dominion in Attica by precisely a similar title to that of the English in Asia, and that all the invectives which they hurl against English usurpation is applicable to our conquests in Algeria. It is very possible that if we were untortunate in Algeria, the Eaglish journals would speak of ns in a similar manner, but that is no reason why we should set them a bad example. MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT ON INDIA, MR. BAXTER AT ARBROATH. The first question which will naturally be asked when Parliament re-asembles is, was no warning given of what has taken place ? Among the numerous gifted civil and military servants of the company, was there none far seeing enough to predict the gathering storm? I will not say, with Mr. Disraeli, that the councillors of the Governor-General have, by their "conceit and arrogance, endangered the Indian empire," but I am prepared to join those who will ask them the following questions : Did Lord Metcalf, referring to the condition of the Bengal army, say, " 1 fear we shall awake some fine morning and find that her Majesty has lost India ? Were native newspapers, containing notices of whispered disaffection, laid before council iu December, 1856 ? Did the late lamented General Anson never cease to represent to the directors the danger to be apprehended from the Sepoys ? Did Lord Metcalf; when he returned home in 1850 (I quote his own words in the House of Lords), express the greatest disapprobation of the condition of the Bengal troops, and was he told not to publish his sentiments lest foreign nations should be acquainted with the state of affairs ? Is Sir Charles Napier correct in stating that in 1849 a mutinous spirit prevaded some 30 sepoy battalions in march for, or actually employed in, the Punjaub ? Did not he, in a work published in 1833, say—" Mutiny with the Sepoys is the most formidable danger menacing our Indian empire—a danger that may come unexpectedly, and if the first symptoms be not carefully watched, with a power to shake Lnadenhall-street 7 " Did the Bengal sepoys mutiny in Scinde? In 1849 was the same spirit rampant in Delhi? Were twenty regiments then discovered to to infected ? Did Sir Charles Napier state on his arrival iu India to assume the chief command that he found the seeds of mutiny sown in a large proportion of the native army ? These are questions not to be hastily answered, as they contain serious charges. Parliament, after all the causes of this fearful outbreak have been investigated, and the real culprits exposed, will be called on to provide for the reorganisation of the native infantry—for it is utterly imrossible to hold India with British troops alone; to consider the requisite augmentation of the European force.; and (regarding as well the danger to the apprehended from internal cotmnotions as that likely to arise from hostility on the part of the NI ahratta States of Ave, of Affghanism, and Nepaul) to make arrange ments for the defence of the empire. But the great que . nen will be the continued existence of the East India Company—whether that mercantile oligarchy should be held as scarcely responsible for any of the evils admitted to exist, and therefore permitte l to continue its infl lence or policy ; or whether, in consideration of the growing feeling even in Calcutta itself, as indicated by the unani mously passed resolution of a public meeting, and the wide spread sentiment at home, it should be condemned as effete aad inefficient, and India be brought into more immediate connection with the British Crown. MR MOFFAT AT ASHBURTON. What was to be done in India? The government of India for 100 years had been of a mixed form ; partly commercial, partly legislative ; more and more, as cash period came round for renewing the charter of the East India Company, that Government assumed a legislative and dropped its commercial character ; but they still had a divided responsibility, and that meant no responsibility, and every one was at a loss to say whether the Board of Control or the East India Company were most in Lault in their utter ignorance with regard to the recent outbreak. Here occurred a revolt of ten, of thousands of soldiers; the English had 12,000 civil and military officers in the country where it occurred, and not one discovered that the conspiracy was hatchine, or how it was hatched, :or the reasons for it—none saw either its commencement or progress. (Hear, hear.) Was there not a fault here. and who was responsible for it ? They must fix a responsibility somewhere for the future. In lie was worth possessing— India with its rich territory—unequalled for pro ductiveness on the face of the globe, blessed with great natural advantages, inhabited by a mild and manageable people—lndia was indeed worth pre serving, and it might be preserved by the firm ness and intelligence of the Saxon race. They must not tamper or trifle with the question. They must fix the responsibility in the right place —on the Ministers of the Crown, and abolish the outgrown and irresponsible powers of the Board of Control and East India Company. That was the question for the House of Commons to settle. Let the Ministers take the responsibility. Eng land should think of the outrage' on her daughters, the carnage of her sons, and bear Cawnpore ever in rernern berance. But he confessed he appealed not to action in the spirit of revenge. That there should be great and signal examples of those who h►d conspired against t`ie English he believed was just ; but it was not of revenge that they should talk. The question was too large for so small a feeling as revenge ; they must teach the Hindoes how unwise the mutineers were ; ar.d, while a terrible example was made they should instruct the natives that justice required it, and that English rule was conducive to their permanent welfare. (Cheers ) LORD HARRY VANE AT BARNARD. This no doubt was a time of gloom, owing to that great calamity which has befallen us in our distant possessions, and which has plunged innumerable families into mourn ing. This terrible insurrection now wholly occupied public attention, diverted capital, and carried off our youth to recruit the army, thus narrowing the labour market. But through the mercy of a beneficent Providence an abundant harvest had been safely housed, and the country generally was in a state of prosperity while, as to India, though we must, according to late news, be prep 'red for some disasters, he felt confi lence that those disasters would be amply cep sired, and the honour of this country fully vindicated. Our brave soldiers, he was sure, would maintain the British flag triumptiant, and crush all ene mies, and in a few months tranquility, fir,n and consoli dated, would be returned to the Bzltish empire. (Ap plause.) THE HON. F. LYGON AT TEWKESBURY. Whether that blame rested with the Government of India or the Government at home, it would be the • duty of Parliament at some future time to investigate— (cheers) —and he trusted that those who by negligence, or by their procrastination in sending out reinforements, had caused the loss of precious lives, would receive that punishment they deserved—(cheers)—and that we would visit with the strongest condemnation those who from faintheartedness or neglect had, he would not say caused, but hail not prevented, the progress of these horrible disasters. He was happy to express his concur rence in what had been said as to the measures to be adopted towards those misguided and wthappy men, the Sepoys, who having eaten our bread and been on teems of frier lly intercourse with us, had turned round and perpe trated these atrocities. He hoped some m-asure would be taken to withdraw these men from scenes that must necessarily be associated in their minds with their bloods' triumphs, and to give them an opportunity of working oat in another land some reparation for the atrocities which, perbaps, in a moment of excitement they had been led to perpetrate. (Hear.) With regard to foreign politics, he would say the less we had to do with them the better (cheers)—the better for England as well as for lore4- , ,n states. In very few cases, indeed, was it a w'se thing to Ove advice to a neighbour. The very fact of having given advice was enough for him not to take it (a laugh), and it was much the same with nations. Foreign nations had the same keen sense of national honour with ourselves, and it was therefore most unwise in us to interfere with them. So long as England did so she would have to maintain semi hostile attitude towards foreign powers that conld not be beneficial either to those Powers or to England herself. MR. BUCHANAN AT GLASGOW. What are v7e — lodoWlth India ? First and without hesitation I say these outrages must be punished with signal and prompt retribution Vengeance is not a word for man—it belongs to a higher power. But justice re quires that the foul insults offered to our countrymen should meet with due punishment. (A.pplaus ‘.) To ac complish this object no sacrifice should be considered too great. But then comes another question—What are we to do in regard to the future of India? (Hear, hear.) It appears too evident that up to this time we have done nothing to conciliate the inhabitants of that vast region. During tho two hundred years that our rule has existel we have made no progress. We have governed, no doubt, but we hive not exalted, nor have we in any sense touched the sympathies of the inhabitants What cause may have been at work to pq ()Ince this result I shall not stop to inquire ; but what I would wish to say is, that in every sense our work in India is to do over again. I think you will agree with me that the work roust be done. We cannot give up India. (Loud applause.) THE MURDER OF A WIFE IN LONDON. The Coroner for the West Middlesex Riding, held an inquest on Saturday, on the body of the poor woman,Marths Davis, whose throat was cut by her husbtnd on Tuesday night last. 'llls inquiry was held at the lioyal Willam publichouse, Ball's-pond-road, and the room, as well as the place in front of the house, was crovde I with peop'e. The evidence was similar to that given by the witnesses before the police magistrate, with the addition of one or two unim portant facts. The jury almost immediately on the co sclusion of the evidooce, retuene I a verdict of " wi11..1 murder " against Dais the husband, and the usual warrant of the Co oner was made oat f.r his committal to NewBatt. He is at present in that prison under a magistrate's committal. The greatest sympathy was expressed f.,r the narortunate victim of her husbtnd's jealous fury. The house where they resided has teen, with a morbid taste by no means com mendable, visited by hundreds of persons desirous to_ soak upon the scene of the murder. ANOTHER GREENACRE TRAGEDY. SHOCKING MURDER AND MUTILATION OF THE BODY. In Saturday's paps- we mentioned the circumstance of the finding of ' a carpet bag on Watsrloh Bridge, London, containing the mangled and mutilated body of a gentleman who bad apparently been barbarously murdered. The discovery was made in the follow ing way ;—On Friday morning, at about half-past eight, two youths, accompanied by aa elder brother, waite I upon Mr. Su,.erintendent Durkin, of the F Div Mon, at the Bow-street station, and made a statement to the effect that the two youths were in a boat rowing on the river Thames that morning between five and six o'clock, and as they were about to pass through one of the arches of Waterloo bridge, their attention was attracted by a bundle on one of the buttresses.. They palled up as soon as passible, in order to se'ze what they considered a prize. When abreast of the buttress, they discovered that the bundle which they had noticed was a large travelling or carpet bag. With the ass stance of their oars they succe del in getting the bag into the boat. They then discovered that it was tightly corded, and that in addition there was some ten or twelve yards of string. This has led the polite to the belief that the coreh.sd been used for the purpose of quietly dropping the bag into the river without making any splash or sound. which wenld at once have called the attentiea of the officers of the Thames police station, which is moored off the spot, or of the numerous vvaterreen who ply off the stars on either side of the bridge; bat instead of the bag going into the water and floating with the tide to some other spot, or from the circusestanee of the cord not being sufficiently long to swing it into the drat -r,. it lodged up en Vie buttress, where it was found. When the boys got the big into the bolt they found it wcs excessively heavy, and as the tide was running very strong at the time, all their energies were required to manage the boat. They therefore decided to take the bag home before they opened it. Upon arriving at thtir residence they communicated the fact of the finding of the bag to their elder brother, who at once p . Oceelel to examine the contents. On cutting the string and opening the bag, one of the most horrible spectas es that it is possible to imagine presented itself to their view—portions of a human body, bones from which the flesh had been rudely torn off, and garments saturated with blood. lmme_ diately on finding this to bs the cal, the elder brother, accompanied by the two youths, repaired to Bow-street station, taking with them the bag. After stating the mysterious nature of the !Lading. and what, as far as they had discovered, the bag containef, Mr. Supt. Dur k'n deemed it neesesery to seed for Mr. Painter (the divisional sur geon), who at once cause to the station, and an examniticn of the bag and its contents then took place-. The result of the examination, which was most carefully and minutely made I y Mr. Painter, in the presence of Mr. Durkin, showed the bog to contain a great number of the diltsrent portions of a human body, of the male sex. The parts found c msisted of the legs, arms, weedy the whole of the spinal co'nmn, the buttock joints, and the shoulder joints. The whole of she head, wit s several cervicles of the vertebrae, the h-in is and the feet, were absent. With regard to the condition of the remains, it was found that the greater portion of the flesh had been very roughly removed. Thera were, however, some portions of the muscles re maining on the limbs. These ware impregn ited with a saliae matter' as if the body had been placed in brine or ralted, and it is the opinion of the surgeon and police that such a course bad been adopted in order to prevent any smell which might arise from decomposition before the diabolical arrangements had been completed for th 3 dis posal of the body. There were in all about twenty pieces, the large braes of the legs and arms having been rudely s twa into pieces ; the fo mer having been divided near the joints of the knees and thigh, and one of the knees had been torts asunder, portions of t e muscular flesh and tegunents remaining on the differ: nt pieces of bone. It would appear that the brine or salt had not penetrated through the entire body, the sockets of the hip joints having on them some amount of flesh, which had become decomposed. Th's one feet loads the surgeon to surmise that the murder hal been perpetrated some days; but upon this point no certainty prevails in consequence of the preparation used having tended to preserre the other pections of the flesh remaining on the bones. From the absence of the head, it is impossible to guess eves at the age of the unfortunate man, but from the appearance of the bones of the limb +, Mr. Painter is of opinion shot the dsceesed was a fall-sized, fine, robust man. in the bog was also found an overeolt, male of a bee en mixture, the sleeves lined with red silk, the fiont fly-fazed with block silk, and the tails lin d with black alpaca. It contained two pockets behind, and one breast pocket. This coat, which was made of a vary .e material, such as only a person in a geed p esition of life would be likely to wear, was literally cat in two up the back, and contained several holes, in front, abut the left breast and lower part, evidently made with some sharp instrument, and was much bleal-stehael. There was also a single-breasted black cloth frock coat, m ode of good material, lined with black a'paca, and having a cloth batten loop attached. with a breast poeaet outside. This coat was also in two pieces, cut up the back, saturated with blood, and having holes in it corresponding exactly in number and size wills those in the over oat. Th• re was ale a double-breasted block cloth vest, with a buckle strap behind, and like the two preceding garments, via up the back, and in two pieces. The waistcoat also had holes in the front, by the le:t breast, similar to those in the coats. A pair of t oussea was ads o fervid. The y were mile of rough Oxford mixture, or tweed, with fly front, small yellow waistband, and metal buttons. These also were cat up tho back, saturated with blood, and had several holes about the abdomen. Two shirts were a'so found in the bag, one of which was made of line long cloth, with linen front, wristeands, and collar, the front being plated in small plaits, stitched up, an 1 having two sery small wh to bone buttons. The other was an under shirt, of merino, with covered buttons. Both the •e articles were soake 1 with blood, and had cor:eip.mling holes in front. They were likewise cut c .m -pletely up the back. Thera was also a pair of elastic lawn drawers wth one metal and one bone button on tae waistband. These were cut, and had holes in them the same as the trowsers, and were saturated with blood. There was only one sock ie the bag, and that was a thick white cots on one. The e are no initials, or name, or mark of any description on any of the articles above enumerated that teed to throw any light on the matter as to the identiicavion of the deceus d. From the above description of the articles of Wear ing apparel discovered with the mangled remains in the bag, it will be seen that every one of • them contains holes exactly similar in size, position, and nu nb3r, and not the slightest doubt is en•ertained th it they were caused by some pointed instrument, such as a knife or dagger: consequently it seems certai that the deceased mast h ove bead murdered by being s'abeed with such a weapon, and it is also c'e r that the deceased had bean stabbed a great many times, as the e are no fewer than seven punctures in the clothes in the immediate vicinity of the regi in of the heart, while there are several others abort the able nen. oae extraord nary feature in th's case is, that while tire various articles of clothes, together with the portions of the mangled leady, ware quite wet with water, lhe ba n ; containing them was perfectly dry. It would seem, therefore, that the clothes and rem dna had been placed in the be; a short time before it was deposited whore it was found, and a'so tt at the bag must have boon placed on the but'ress; for had it fl mated from any pert of the river, and then lodged on the buttress, the bag must undoubtedly have been wet. k may be mentions 1 that the bag iu which the rema'ns were found is a full sized travelling ca"pet bag with two handles, and had evidently seen some wear. '1 here aro no marks on it, but it has a patent lack, which was not fastened, for when found it was secured by a piece of cord. In the inside cf the frame there is a par ation, bat the lining has been torn our, cons cineatif its contents had been indiscriminately thrust in. From the fact that the clothing was cut up the back, it is the opinion of those who are investigating the case that after life was extinct the deseas2d had been 141.1 on his face, and his clothes deli. herately ripped off his body by the assassins for the purpose of cut ing off the flesh and dividing the limbs. The examination by the surgeon having pr eves beyond a don'it that the remains were those of a gsatlemaa who had been murdered, Mr. Super:ntendent Darkia eelect d soms of his most active officers to investigate the case, with a view, if possible, to unravel the mysterious and ex,ra ordinary circumstances by which it is sarrouada 1, but unf tunately up to this time very lit:le has been aicerta7aed. We may mention, however, that ens point appears to be satisfctorily established, viz , that the bag was deposited in the plate by a female, for It had been ascertained that a rather elderly woman passel through th 3 foot pags;ngers' toll-gate about twelve o'clock on ThuraJay night. The money-taker on duty at that rims remembers t .at such a person ams up with a large carpet-bag which appeared to be vary weighty and owing to the narrowness of the turnstile she was unable to pas ; throu4ll with it. The money-taker accordingly himself lift3.l it over for her; and he a serted, on hearing of the discovery, that he took particular notice of the bag, as it had a flower worked in.. the centre of the material of which it was male. He has, we understand, been shown t te bag, is which the remains were foand, ant expresses his ahilityto swear that it is the one which he saw in, the woman's hand, and which he lilted over the turastqs for her oa Thursday night. At that time there was no cord attached to it ; so it would appear, shoald this turn out to be the one, thatthe woman must have fastened the cord to it as she passed along the bridge, and have lowered it oa to the buttress from oae of tea receisas of the bridge. The poise are using every exedion to diseurar the woman, and we :rust that ere loag she will be in tae hanii of jastic-!. At a late hour on Friday night the pollee authorities were put in possession of a description of the fernada who p used over the bridge with the bag c mtainiug the mutiVatedd, ieuntins of the mardered man en Thursday night. She is do6cribei as being of short stature and rather stout, about 50 or SC years of age, pale complexioned and grey b. dr. She was dressed in a bl ..ek silk manie, and a drab silk or s it n bonnet. When speken IA by Harrington, the money taker at the bridge, she answered in a very gruff and masculine tons of vole , evidently assum,cl to throw off tsuslition. In add tion to the above description eO.llO now ftatnres of some importance have come to light. The woman, whoever she is passed on t i the bridge from the Middlesex side, and bas4le the carp it-bag she carried a brown pap .r parcel of somewhat large dim msion. That parcel Is now rupposed to have contained, the head and other parts of the body which are missing, and it is• believed that the woman lowered that parcel into the 'water, and that it floated away with the tide. Should such be the case, it no doubt will be discovered, for a strict watch will be ke/it on the river Thames. The po l ice have had their attention drAwn to the c'rcumstance that if the bag ant parcel had ben brought from a disn.a ice they must ha , e teen conveyed ire a c:.b or other ved cle to the neighbourhood of the bridge, as their weight would render it imoosdble f a* an elderly wo min to have carried them far herself. The authorities therefore have adopted measures for ta , certaiaing, if possible, the different vesicles that were discharged in the neighbourhood of the Strand or Waterloo-bridge on, the hursday night. Another paint of some importance in elucidating the mystery which surrounds this horrible affair is the fact that the poles In the valous articles of clothing found in the big* were turned insi•le out, and not a single ar ide was frond in any of thenr The inference to be drawn from this is that the unfortunate man mast have been robbed. . • An application has been made to Sir George Grey, the principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, to offer a government reward for the apprehension of the murderer or murderers, and it i s expected that an announcement cf assent will be trade. Mr. Super inter dent Durkin and several active officers of the detective force are indefatigable in their endeavoara to trace the women seen by the tollnum to pass through the wick t at Waterloo-bridge, and search has been mad- and is a ill being prosecuted for the head and other missing portions of th - body. It is considered probable that had the parcel, which is supposed to contain them, been thrown In c ' the river at the time specified of the female passing—nearly dead low water— it could not have floated to any great distance ; and the galleys of the Thames Police, with efficient crews, and other boats, are' engaged in endeavouring he effect a discovery. It is now placed beyond the p.m slbi ity of a doubt that th- assassination and robbery weeperpetrated on the Surrey side of the river; be this as it may, the pierce have ' orders to rep .rt any susp i cious circumstances that may aisle at houses of ill-fame with which the Waterloo-road abounds, as wee as those in . the vicinities ttf the theatres ore tee no th side of the river ; and en deice are bring mica to ascertain if any person, whose eloth.ne answers the description is- missing. The police, it is stated, are in possession of a clue which may lead to a solution of the mystery. They, how - ever, obserre the strictest silence. The Observer of yesterday publishes the fo lowing additional 741'- 1 tientars :.—" Up to a late h tar on Satu:day night no satisfactory clue had been obtained b i t the polite celculatel to lead to the detection of the guilty parties. The statement of Heury Fteerington is a most important one. Ha is one of the toll collectors of the bridge, and wee" on duty during the usual twenty-four hours, from ten o'c'ock on- , Thursday morning to tea o'closee the following morning. He states that about half-past eleven a woman; apparently between 50 and GO years of age, and whose description. is given in another account, was pausing through the turnstile, but hs.vineea large brown paper parcel in one hand, and a carpet bag in ths - o.her, which she dragged after her, caused the-turnstile to turn throughtwo of its quarters instead of one, thus registering two pessmgers on tha " tall tale" instead of one by which he lost a hilfpeaey. He stites that he was annoyed at this, and said to the woman, "What are yon blundering at there? If yon can't carry the bag; why didn't you let me lift it over for you," or something to that effect. He then took the bag from her hand, lifted it over, and placcdlit on the top of the turnstile. The womal turned full round to take the bag off, and the light from the lamp falling upon her face, enabled Etherington distinctly to see her features. He has since seen the carpet bag and identified it, and believes that he could identify the woman who carried it on this occas'en. Another person who came forward was a men who is known as "Bill," a sort of hanger-on at the New Inn, opp mite Astley's Theatre, ani he stated that on the rams night (Chars ley) he was standing at the corner or the Beivilere-road after his labours of the day were over, when a men and a women came up to the place where he was standing, anti ha led a cab. The man, he says, had in his ha,d a icetg and bulky carpet bag, bu': he does not remember that the woman had a Rime. He perfectly retollects• that tee man was fussy aed fidgetty about his bag, and that when ha attempted to take it titan him in order to put it in the cab, theanen said—" I can do very well without, your services, and prevented him from taking it." Tno man then gave hi -1 a penny, and the wo nan went away alone in the cab, LIU ,g 'with tier the bog, the man giving directions that the wsto b 3 driven to Regent Circus. As soon as , the cab had lest the man ware I down Belviiere•rotd, bet shorty afterwards returned, and hailing another cab, drove off in another direction--that is, toe ards the York-roil, where he was lost s , ght or, and it is supposed from this that the woman pro Tedel he the Itliddlesex side of Waterloo-bridge, while the man went on to the bridge at tee Surrey eed. But " Bill " says farther that the woman had a veil over her face and he could not see her features, and thinks she was about 25 years of age, and would not know the man again if he were to sea him. Several other persons attended at the office, but their statements have not added much to the information already possessed on the sod jest. A body of the Thames police have been constantly engaged dragging the river, in hopes of finding the brown paper parcel or other portions of the body, but without success. Sus p don attaches to too females, of whom, for obvious reasons, it would not be prudent at th- present stage of tee inquiry to say more than that they are ca efully watched, under the direction of Mr. Durkin. The whole of the machinery of the police force throughout the countri has been already put in. action fur the detection of the offenders. Few persons have any idea of the completeness and rapidity with which this force can bs set in motion. Immediately on the discovery of the bones, information giving a descripion of the bag and its contents was sent to every division. In less than three hours 'he printed " informations" of the police were in the hands of the whole of the metro„olitan farce. The public are generally acquainted with daily morning, and evening papers, but they are not aware that there is a "journal" printed, and distributed every three hours through every division of the tnetropolean police. The Police Gazette, which is puteished on Friday morning,. was stopped as it was going to press, in order to insert ail that wad keowa respecting the supposed murder, and the discovery of the bones ; three hours after, every policeman on duty in Londe n was engaged in making inquiries rt the cab-stan Is, whether any cabman had set down a fare between eleven and twelve o'e :tick at or near Waterloo bridge. The results of ell these inquiries were known early on Saturday morning. Vast amid compl :0, however, as is the orgsnisa• tion of the peace force, aided as it is by electric telegraphs, photo. graphy, and the printing press. its inquiries are not unfrt quently baffled by the precautions taken by criminals to evade capture.

OUR WATER SUPPLY. TO MI EDITOR OF THE NORTHER - 1f TIMES. Sir—Can nothing be done to hasten the decisiota of the Council on the Water question. lithe Water Committee do not feel themselves competent to grapple with the subjeof, let them retire ; such in decision and procrastination is unmanly and. criminal. I would ask, do they realise the vital importance of pure water, and the absolute danger there is in drinking the filthy clrainings of the AnalezArlt vast micturition pond. . _ Wait f is the cry, till the works are , fi lishetl„ then we shall see. Wait will the cholera wait, if it comes and finds us drinking this unwhole some, impure, and disgusting water. That the Rivington water is impure and unfit for drinking, is proved by the fact that the Water C3mmittee dare not let us have it unmixed. A gentleman of the Water Comin',ttee met my objections to the water with this remark, " Liver pool ought to be proud of, and will, someday, hies% God, for the Rivitogton Works.' I replied, true, an engineering work well may she be proud. It was great in conception, it is triumphant in engineering success, but don't dclUde yourself. Separate the works from the water we gaze at and wonder, we admire - and appreciate the former, but tha litter we loathe, abominate, and dread. What* childish nonsense, when we complain of the filthy water, to ask 1...4a to admire tha gigantic works. I have Been all over the works and the collecting ground; and after careful e2aunination I ha - re come to the conclusion that tho'vrater, as it pours into the reservoirs, is impure and unwholesome, and becomes more so the " lonrfer it remtiins there." It is true the Ani.., , lezark- the climax of the evils ; : the question of bad, is' a mere question of arstlation ; so-impure is the utole, we have diffi culty in finding• any g00d... Have 'the Water Committee' read the notice of the B4ard of Health, Sept. 29, IT - 51, directing the attention of local boards to the dreaded approach. of cholera and to-the predisposinxcauses—foul air and impure water?: Cholera poison,- in its wan3ering% acts after the mannr of a ferment, that it therefbre takes eff! , t only amid congenial' , circumstances; and that V stuff out of which it brews its poison, must be air or water abounding with organic impurity. Why' eannot we at once have the waters unmixed three days-each, till the question of laying dower new pipes is. determined The complaints I hear about the mixed disgust ing steer we are compelled to drink aro innumerable. If those are no gron of complaint, and we are all under - a delusion, let the Water Committee give us the real unmixed Rivington water, from the Roddlesworth Anglezirk, Rivington - 24-:?servoirs, then the town could judge, and soon would the town be an uproar; then the advoaates of the Rivington -water would be convinced of their wilful blindness,. and, I hope,- as disgusted at their perverse obstinacy, as at the filthy drainings they call pure water. If I have warmly written, I have written advisedly. I fear nothing will rouse the present Water Com mittee to a correct sense of duty.
