ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

A discovery of some iMisort.;;ce inadeyUterday after-
noon by some residents in the neighbourhood of the scene
of the murder. It was at hut supposed that the murder
was effected on the spot where the headless body was found,
but a careful examination of the ground instituted towards
evening yesterday has disproved the accuracy of this sup-
positiou. The North Woolwich road, which runs past the
Victoria Gesviogolock, is parallel to the river as it ap•
preaches Silverkovu. The quarter mile of marsh land which
lies between the road and the Thames is for the greater part
covered with rushes 71 feet high. A narrow pathway, not
more than 18 inches in width, leads from the direction of the
road through the rushes towards the river. About half way
through there is a still narrower path, going towards another
part of the river bank, but to get on to it, it ia necessary to
crag a ditch seven feet wide and three or four feet deep,
the bottom of which is covered with thick mud. This was
evidently the exact spot where the murder WY committed
and the body decapitated, and whence the mangled remains
were conveyed to the place where the headless trunk was
after wards found, and which is about 15 to 20,yards further
up the second path.
In the course of the search that wss being made, this little
path, almost obscured by the overhanging of tall reeds wee
struck upon, and on the persons cooling to the ditch which
I Lae hue mentioned, they found in the bottom of it a pool
of blood fuer trot long by one broad. The marks made by
the victim's boots as he stood in the ditch, evidently with
her back to the murderer, and also the marks of the feet of
the murderer when he was little' up out of it the lifeless
body of his v‘cttm, were distinctly visible. A track of
blood was found along, the middle of the rushee freer this
, spot to the place where the body uses carried or drugged.
About two-tirade of the distance along the path was seen a
circular patch of blood, such as would have Leen caused if
the dissevered head had been laid down there for a moment
on the still bleeding surface.
The u orderer sod hi, victim must have left the road, and
struck into the first pathway to go towards the river, r rue
must have walked behind the other, for two could not have
found room to walk abreast. Upon coming to the ditch,
which had to be crossed before getting into the second path,
the wurdertd wan proceeded to descend into it first, and
before be had got one step across received a blow on the
! left temple and over the eye—the marks of this blow are
clearly present on the head—and was thus thrown heck wards
against the doping bank in such a manner that the heels of
his bouts were driven into the t ielchug clay of the ditch
bottom. No murk, of a struggle are to be found. The mur-
derer, having attuned his uusnapecting victim by a blow
' which broke in the skull, in all probability continued on the
' vantage ground of the back, and with a knife—a large
bladed one, the gashes show—severed the heed from the
body. Front the large quantity of blood found in the shal-
low pout in the bottom of the ditch, and the mere trace of
it along the path, it was evident that the body must have
been in the ditch a sufficient time to allow hearty if not
quite all the 'olnuol to dun) from it. Nu doubt some cone.

them to give their cattle Epsom malts before calving, and
this year they had had Mr. In-welt tehing them that they
did taut Lime' which were the Lovt docks, and that they ought
to cross their sheep with Cotswolds. Now what could Mr.
Disraeli know about sheep If they were to put before
