boo, however, that one point appears to be satisfactcrily
established, vie., that the bag was deposited in the place
where it wee discovered by • Lomas, for it had
been aacertshied that • rather elderly woman passed through
the foot passengers' toll-gate about 12 o'clock on Thursday
night. The money-taker on duty at that time remembers
that such a person came up with a large carpet-bag which
appeared to be very weighty, and owing to the narrowness of
the turnstile she was unable to pan through with it. The
money-taker accordingly himself lifted it over for her ; and
he asserted, on hearing of the discovery, that he took per-
&War notice of the bag, •• it had • dower worked in the
centre of the material of which it was made. Be has, we
understand, boen shown the beg in which the remains
wero found, and expresses his ability to swear
that it is the one which he saw in the woman's
hand, and which he lifted over the turnstile foe
bar on Thursday night. At that time ;there was no
cord attached to it; so it would appear, should this turn oat
to be the one, that the woman mat have fastened the cord
W it ea she passed along the bridge, and have lowered it on to
the buttress from one of the recesses of the bridge. The po-
lios are using every exertion to discover this woman, and we
trust that ere long she will be in the hands of justice.
The matter has been communicated to Mr. Bedford, the
coroner for Westminster, and en inquest will be held on the
remains, which are now lying at the Bow-street station,
together with the clothes, by lamas of which it is hoped the
murdered man may be identified.

LATH PARTICELAIB.

At a late hour ILtrrighttit;;;lrceanthoritiee ware put In
pcmamion of a description of the female who pared over the
bridge with the bag containing the mutilated remains of the
murdered man on Thursday night. She is described as
being of short stature and rather stoat, about 60 or 60 years
digs, pale complexion and grey hair. She was dressed in
• black silk mantle, and a drab silk or satin bonnet. When
spoken to by Harrington, the money taker at the bridge, she
answered in a very gruff and masculine tone of voice, evi-
dently assumed to throw off suspicion.
In addition to the above description some new features of
some importance have oome to light. The woman, whoever
she is, pared on to the bridge from the Middlesex side, and
besides the carpet-bag she carried • brown paper parcel of
somewhat large dimension. That pawl is now supposed
to have contained the head and other parts of the body which
•n miming, 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 cue, it no doubt will be discovered, for a
M rict watch will be kept on the river Thames.
The polies have had their attention drawn to the circum-
stance that if the bag and parcel had been brought from a
distance they must have been conveyed in • cab or other
vehicle to the neighbourhood of the bridge, as their weight
would render it impossible for an elderly woman to have
carried them far herself. The authorities therefore have
adopted measures for ascertaining, if possible, the different
vehicles that ware discharged in the neighbourhood of the
Strand or Waterloo-bridge on the Thursday night.
Another point of some importance in elucidating the
mystery which surrounds this horrible affair is the fact that
the pockets in the various articles of clothing found in the
beg were turned inside out, and not a single article was found
in say of them. The inference to be drawn from this is that
the unfortunate man must have been robbed.

Prom a further examination of the remains by Mr. Pan-
ter, the divisional surgem, and other medical gentlemen, it
would mem that the decemei must have been stabbed while
in a reclining position..

In an *cooant published by a contemporary, the names of
the young men by whom the discovery was first made, are
stated to be James Barber and Flank Keleby, both in the
employ of a bargeman—the brother of Barbee.
