took of a splendid dejeuner provided by the company. A
man steam boat, which brought the visitors on shore, accom-
panied the. ship a short way down the river, and cheered the
troop again and again. The cheer was so heartily responded

of four attics.

TEE INQUEST.
Tests day an inquest was held at the Strand Union
Woekhaaea, Bow-sret, Covent-garden, before Mr. Bedford,
coma for Westminster on the human remains found under
Watarloo-hrldp on Friday lad. The jury haring viewed
the be, &0., at the Bow-street-station, the following evi-
dence was adduced:—
James Barber, 2, Lumley-court, Strand, labourer at Smith
arid Sons, coal merchants, said that on Frida7 Inornhig last
he was rowing up the river between five and az in the morn-
log. He saw the bag produced tying on the third buttress of
the bridge—Weeseloo-bridge. It will lying on its side. He
wee two yards away from it when he law it. He said to a
boy named Frank Kilaby, who was with him, that he saw
something on the buttress They rowed up to it, and took
hold of a string etteched to the bag, which was hanging in
the water, sad palled the bag into the boat. They then
rowed es bad as they could to shore. They saw nobody
about the holders, and then they rowed to Lam-
beth to calla -Kfislife brother, who err in a barge.
When they got there XBeby's brother opened it, and saw
what we in R. They were all frightened at what they
saw. John Haab, opened it. Witall• believed it was
Irked, sad that they forced it open. Did not see what it
contained till it was opened. It contained a lot of bones.
One was sticking out. They were all taken out in the barge.
flaw it contained bones and clothe*, but did not take particu-
lar notice of the clothes, not enough to know them again.
He believed everything was put beck in the beg. They
rowed to shore, and gave the bag and all it contained to the
police. It was just high water when they found the bag;
it wen six inches above the water. The previous tide could
sot have gone higher he thought. The bag was not wet
The things taken out were wet, not very wet. They did not
drip. The leather sides of the bag he noticed, but did not
observe whether they were wet. No one else wen to the boat
but Kilsby and winless.
John Kileby, 13, Richard-street, Cornwall-road, Lambeth,
lightennan, knew the bag produced. Between five and six
o'clock on Friday morning it was brought to him in a boat,
in which Frank Kilaby, hie brother, and James Barber wars.
They rid they had picked up • prise, but did not like to
touch it. He took It out of the boat, and forced it open. It
was locked. He noticed what it contained. Should know
the clothes again. They were those now ahem to him.
They were in the same state se now. The bones were tied
up with a string in the coat, quite compact. The
large rope produced was fastened to the handles of the
beg. The beg was not wet. The clothes were not
wet. They were (Imp, as if wet with blood. They looked
much as they did now. They were not very wet. There
the t.t.4
was a little water in the best, and were put into it loose.
Witness took all the things out of the . He put the bones
in • basket and carried the clothes in his and gave them
to the police.
Charles Ciermanue Vence, F 96, police conatable—Shortly
after 7 o'clock on Friday, was on duty under the Adelpha
arches, when the boy Kilsby came up to him and told him
tthhey hd got a quanelty of things lying down at the Fox-
-I.:er-therllill Tavern. Want there and saw the carpet
bag gad clothes produad, and • quantity of bones lying on
the ;avowal. Witness examthed theca. The clothes were
wet—rather wet, not veep wet, some not so wet as others;
they were lying m • dry piece when he saw them. He had
them put into the bag sad earned to the stance. He did
not carry them, but he felt the weight of them, it was about
a quarter of • hundredweight. They were not difficult to
carry. He took them to the Bow-street station, and gave
them to Sergeant Buck. There was a great deal of blood on
the linen and flannel. Thee wore seven cuts on the left
breast.
Sergeant William Buck, 6 F division—About eight er lock
on Friday last, James Barber and Frank Raab), came to the
station with Constable Vales. They bad a. carpet-bag with
them. They stated that they had feud it on one of the
stintroest• of Waterloo-bridge, as they were rowing up the
river in a boat. That they bad got it off the abutment, and
took it to Lambeth, when their brother said It
contained bones, and they bad better take it beck
to Bow-street He examined it, d found it
contained a linen and a merinoerino shirtan, two coats, a
pair of trowsers, • pair of drawers, and one sock. He found
• number of cuts in the two thins and oleo in the drawers ;
they all appeared to be made with one knife. Them was a
quantity of blood on the clothes. There were no marks or
name on them. He sent for Mr. Paynter, the divisional
surcilrd Budd Peyote; 33, Bridges-street, divisional
surgeon of the F division of police—On Friday morning last
wen Wad to the Bow-street station about nine o'clock,
where he was shown the carpet-bag reduced by Sergeant
Bock. Mr. Durkin soon arrived, and was there also. The bag
contained a quantity of bone& those wheel bad been shown
te the Jury.
r The clothes produced were lying by
the side
of the He took the bones out and examined them. He
proceed .to fit them together, end discovered that ell the
bonee produced belonged to one individual, forming to-
gether a complete skeleton, with the following exoephions :
oho parts wanting were the head ; the whole of
the cereals and seven of the derail tones of the back-bone;
several portions of the ribs were also miring ; likewise the
bones of the hands, feet, lower third of the left fibula, and the
left clavicle. The bones which were there were sawn into
one or more portions. All of them had portions of muscle
attached to them, the parts cut off hiving been cut off in a
very rough, haggled manner, evidently not by a scientific
person, or with a sharp knife. Four portions of akin only
remained attached to the bon, a piece of considerable Ws
being on each wrist, and in front of the tubercle of the right
tibia, the portion of akin on each part being covered with
Liable& bar, ahowingthat the deceased had been probably
avigorous adult. The flesh adhering to the bones was neither
f nor in a state of decomposition generally, there being
incipient decomposition only apparent on the left acitabulum
and the corresponding thigh-bone. The capsular ligament
of the hip joint was cut through, and on rotating the head of
the thigh bone he perceived a strong smell of decomposition,
and several blue marks produced thereby. The whole re.
winder of the muscles and bona append to be perfectly
nndeeompeaed, and on seeking to discover the canoe of this,
he found in several parts a saline gritty matter, looking like
salt. To this he attributed the preservation of the re mains.
They were, on the audios, of • brownish colour' but if cat
into, red, as if they had been aubjected to the action of salt.
Re could not account for the left thigh-bone not being in a
state of decomposition. The whole of the internal
Inert, lunge, and liver' were missing, he should nave star
before. With regard to the pieces of ribs, he found
a large portion of the second, third, and fourth
ribs of the left Bide, with a piece of the sternum
attached, and having fish adhering to them. In
this Woe, probably between the third and fourth
rite,was • cut of rather smaller Me than the holes in the shirt
and under-waistcoat, which portion of the ribs, whenplaced in
a natural position, had its stab or hole exactly corresponding
in position and direction as those in the clothe*. 'Miami
us of the cut was upwards and downward,. The reason of
the stab inthe fleeltbMganaller than that in the clotheswas,
that after • blow has been struck the flesh clews a little. In
the portion around the stab a good deal of blood was extrave-
rted into the times, showing that the stabs must have been
given during the life of the deceased. There was a patch of
extraverted blood, two or three inches in size, filtrated into
the cellular tissues. The two or three ribs below
those he hod mentioned were missing, so that
the absence of stabs coevesponding with those on the clothes
was accounted for. The examinee where the limbs and
heed were missing were all sawn; great roughage. had been
need in cutting up the body ; but generally the cuts in the
bones were fine aa if made by • N —ll, narrow saw. The
neck, the whole of the ravish, was gone. The fourteen
upper bones of the backbone were mining. The seven dorsal
bones which were found were cut ; the cartilage was
cut through. Three of the lumber vertebra- were at-
tached to the pelvis, and the refit of the back-bones
were in • piece. On examining the bones with reference
to the eex, he found they were of such large make, that,
together with the portions of AL with hair on them, they
caused him to think them those of the body of • male; but
on examining the pelvic it presented something different to a
male pelvie, the internal pelvicles being larger than those
wool in a male. It was a finely developed pelvis, not de-
formed, but some of the dimensions were different from those
of a male. But on the whole, he had no doubt they were
the bones of a male. As to the height of the penmen, the
deemed must have been a man of Mt. Bin., if not more. lie
should have said he found a good deal of hale adhering to the
muscles, which he bad picked out and produced. The hair
from the head was dark, and portions of whisker were also
very dark. Salt would not, he thought, vary that colour.
Besides there dark halm be hail found some longer hair, four
of which might possibly be female hairs, from the length and
fineness of them. All the hairs were sticking= the bones. The
black hair, be had no doubt, belonged to the body, as they
were of the same colour as those on the skin attached to the
bones. He bed no doubt the preen was not cut to Meer
unfit alter the rigidity of death had set in, because on fitting
together the portions of the right leg he found the knee joint
and the head of the fly-bone and the hip joint so strongly
fixed with the ends of the bones pointing in such a direction,
that it must have been fixed at right &ogles with the body.
The leg must have been in a strongly bent position. The
right fore-arm was also strongly bent. lie did not think the
derompoeition apparent in the left hip-joint could have
arisen in is than • week. Was sure that the puncture in
the chest was given daring life, from the appearance of the
blood in the times. He should not be surprised if the
remains had been boiled ; the ligaments presented
from their tightness the appearance of having been boiled;
the tendons were unusually contracted. He had no hesita-
tion I. saying that no one acquainted with anatomy
would have cut up a body in the manner indicated.
mid if a medical student had wanted the body for anatomical
purpose*, be would have wanted the muscles, nerves, and
arteries, which he could say positively bad not been dis-
sected.
Henry Enington, 10, Albert-street. Tenison-street, Lam-
beth-road, toll-keeper at Waterloo. bridge—On Thursday
night, about half-put eleven, I was on duty. Remembered
smug a female coming up from the Strand to pass over the

Many extraordinary rumours ware current in various
quarters yesterday. One statement weir that the head disco-
vered in Paddington had been fitted on to the bones and
found to correspond exactly ; another, that the suspected
woman bad been ; and lastly, that various arti-
cles of dress, from the bag, had been discovered.
With the exceptias the latter, theseremours were ground-
hog. It is true, however, that estardayma the missing
sock, together with a n • were up in the
Thames; accompanying them was a coast e quantity of
string. It was in a tangled mass, and when separated
front the other articles, made a ball about the size
of an ordinary hen's egg. The sock, which is nearly
new is of British rominfacture, and what is called a coarse,
unbleached half-hose. The tope are elastic about an inch
and • quarter deep, with four-thread ribs, rather open. From
the peculiar make of the ante there wee very little difficulty
in matching them as • pair on being pieced side by tilde. The
neckerchief is made of • rather coarse black silken material,
and was nearly cut through in one part. These articles were
taken to Bow-street station, and placed with the other articles
of clothing found in the bag.
The string could only be accounted for in this manner. It
is now believed that the parcel containing the head and other
parte of the remains that are miming aloe contained the
sock and neckerchief, and that the string wee employed
to lower it from the bridge into the water ; that the head,
feet, de., had bi en washed out of the brown paper and be-
come imbedded in the mud at the bottom of the river, but
that the sock and neckerchief being composed of • lighter
material had clung to the string and floated about until they
were picked up yesterday morning.
In tho course of the inquiry yesterday Mr. Poynter, the
divisional eurgeon, mentioned incidentally that while eta•
mining the meanie he discovered several long hairs, evi-
dently from the head of • female. From this an inference
has been drawn that • woman had some share either in mur-
dering the unfortunate man or cutting him up after life was
extinct.
Many parsons still believe that the person who carried the
bag and parcel over Waterloo-bridge was • man attired in
woman's clothing ; and Errington, the toll-keeper, himself
is in doubt upon the subject. He is not prepared to say posi-
tively that it was • woman, and believes that whoever it
wee, either wore false hair or some preparation to disguise
the real colour. He says that the hair of the person was
almost white, and matted together like the hair of a newly
powdered footman. If it was • man, he must have been of
very short stators indeed, for a small man in woman's clothes
berths appearance of being a tall woman.
The question which has arisen with regard to the head
which was found, a few days sines, at Paddington, al being
supposed to belong to the mangled remains discovered on
Friday last, was last evening set at rest, although without
affording any clue to this horrible case. The publicity given
to the fact of the finding of two human heads has Lund the
authorities to have them examined, and last night, at a few
minutes before 8, they were brought down to Bow-street
station by a messenger, when Mr. Paynter, the divisional
surgeon, was sent for. That gentleman at once attended at
the station, and made • careful examination of the parts
submitted. One turned out to be the hoed of • man.
and Mr. Poynter expired • decided conviction that it bad
passed through the heads of • surgeon for anatomical pur-
ses ; and the other was that of a female of advanced years.
Bo it that neither of them belonged to the unfortunate
deceased; but whether the fact of the heads being found will
result in an offieial inquiry, we are not in • ponuon to state,
although an impression prevails that the matter will not be
&Wind to drop.
With regard to the iladingg of the second sock and the
neckerchief, we were uformed by the police at a late hour last
' evening that they were not found in the river, but in the
barge in which Kilsby says he turned out the bag on Friday
morning, and brought to the Bow-street station yesterday
morning.

SUICIDE IN FLEET-STREET POLICE STATION.

Yesterday afternoon, at three o'clock, Mr. W. J.
Payne, the deputy coroner for London, held a long inquiry,
at Mr. Watson's, the Barley Mew Hotel, Saliebury7square
Fleet-street, respecting_ the circumstancesattending the
death of Mrs. Ellen Watson, aged 42, who committed
suicide in the Fleet•street police-station, on Saturday night
last.
Hill, 315, of the City Police, said that on Satur-
day(lenirsN't last, at a quarter to ten, he was celled to take the
doomed into custody, He had seen her in Chancery-lane,
the same night at aght o'clock, surrounded by a great
crowd, and also her husband ; they were outside the Mitre
Tavern. She wee creating a great disturbance, and had been
drinking. She was also calling her husdand bad namea, and
he, in consequence, advised her to be quiet and go home;
but after doing so she returned again, sad appeared in a very
excited state. She then mated a still greater disturbance,
and with the assistance of another constable she was taken to
the station-house, and locked up for protection. There was
no one else in the oall when she wee put in. He left the
station soon after that, when she was hallooing.
Edwin Hills, 381, of the City Police said that he received
the deceased at the station, when ihe was not sober, and
appeared rather boisteroue, and kept calling out for
her " husband." His duty wee to visit the cell,
and he did so, and he saw her ate quarter to 11, when
.he asked if her offence was • bailable one, and he replied,
" Not in the state she then was." He eaw Ler again at •
quarter past 11, which was the last time, when she was sus-
pended, or partly so in the cell, by means of a stocking
round her neck and Listened to the bars of the window.
lee
called for assistance, had her cut down, and sent for
medical eminent* ; but she was deed before the surgeon
arrived.
Mr. James Watson, of No. 1, Crown•court, Chancery-
lane, said that the deceased was his wife. She was not ha-
bitually given to drink, but the loss of her former husband
and son had affected her mind and made her do strange
things. In addition to which, she had a daughter at a
school in Pimlico, and owing to his having to practise at the
court, he was unable to go with her to see the child, and
she said that she would never be able to see her again. He
haart her talking loudly in front of Mr. Pearson's, the Mitre,
in Chancery-lane. She had been excited from the previous
evening, in consequent* of his calling upon some friends to
' play upon the piano"! Reenters, and they were doing so;
she cried, " You villains," and as she Tel going over Black-
; friars-bridge she took off her bonnet and shawl, end said
that the would not go home amain. The policeman wanted
to take her into custody, but she then repaired quietly home.
By the Coroner—He believed that jealutuy had a more ex-
' citing effect upon her mind than the drink she took, but
there wee not the least ground for such a suppoeition.
Mr. Henry Austin, managing clerk to Mr. Watson, said
that he had known the deceased more particularly during
' some time. Hs had always found her in a most impetuous
temper, and the slightest thing would upset her mind. Her
house was not what it ought to be,owing to her own conduct.
By the Coroner—Her excitability of mind would lead any
one to believe that she was intoxicated. There was no
ground whatever, not the slightest, for the Imputation of
Jealousy.
Acting Inepector Harding, of the Fleet-street division.
attended to watch the case on behalf of the authorities, but
from the summing up of the learned Coroner there appeared
not the bast blame attributable to the police, and the Jury
returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity," when the pan-
ful inquiry terminated.
