so, said, that much bid been :id about providing for the
wants of a future generation. For his part, he thought
that they had shown great sympathy for the next generation
as they had provided them with a ceme ery a hich bad
cost £40,000, and were going to giro them a work-
house worth £33,000, both of which would be paid for in 20
years. Hs thought they hid great compassion for the
next generation.- It being understood that the Board of
Guardians bad not yet decided upon the plans, it was
agreel that the resolutions should be sent to that board
before going to the General Poor Law Board.
Mr. Batscom then attempted, amidst much laughter, to
prove that no additional staff or plant would be required
for a workhouse for 1,1,00 more than for 403 or 600.
Mr. URQUKAUT : I suppose those resairks have made no
im,iress'on on your minds. (C:iee of " No,") Then I
will not occupy your time by answering them. (Laughter.)
A vote of thanks to the Chairman concluded the

THE WATEO.LOO-BRIpOE MYSTERY.

APPRELIENSION OF TWO SUSPECTED PARTIES.

Sows little Excitement was caused in the city of Chiches-
ter, on Tuesday and Wednesday, in conseqeenee of a man
sal iceman being detained by the police, who were said
to be in some way connected with this horrible affair. It
appears that Mr. Superintendent Green received a .letter
from the Superintendent of Police ut Lewes, stein that a
young woman bad been at Tunleidge who had stated that
she knew the woman wh, threw the cirpet bag ever
Waterlog-bridge, ant that he appeared to be very unbappy
in ceesequence. She was supposed to be proceeding iu
th;s direstien. Mr. Green gave instructions acaerdingly,
and on Monday morning, at an early hour, a woman
ausweing the description entered the city from Ets'gate,
who had been making inquiries for a way through the town
by a hick road. Her dress, which was black, ail of the
full fashionable length, had the appearance of teing drawn
through rand for many mites ; her shoes were also com-
pletely went through the soles. The woman was at once
eondueted to the Superisto:dentesoYjce, f. 'leered by a man,
whom she stated to be her husband ; but the statements
of the man and woman being, contradictor!, they weye
taken before the Mayor and M r. Adames, when it appeared
that all the money they had in their possession was 3d.
Their accounts of themselves were totetly different, and, as
they were detained by order of the Mayor, and a telegraphic
message sent to Scotland-yard, to ertOch a reply was
received " to detain the parties, and an officer would c ime
down." On Tuesday, Superintendent Mackenzie, from
B m-street, and the toll-keeper at Waterloo- bi Lige arrived.
Tae parties were again b.ought before the Mayor and Mr.
Ademev, but it was soon a pp.rent that there wasne reason
to sepewee they were the parties wanted. The woman
who is said to be on'y eighteen or nineteen years:of age,
bat appease several years older, is rather geed looking, and
it the daughter of a very respectable man at Maidstone,
and bss been induced by a scoundrel to leave her home.
The min, who has several aliases, and has given various
accounts of his antecedents and intentions, was conducted
out of the town by the police, and the young woman, who
appe rs heartily tired of the li'e shy is leading, is detained,
and her friees cemmeeicated with. The whole of the
surrounding neighbourhood of Chiches er was in a rate of
great eotnetotioa when the rumour had spread that a man
and a woman had been taken up on suspicion of being the
parties concerued in the Weeerloo-linidge trek' dy. The
news was carried into most of the towns and villages in
Western Sussex, an.l it gathered ette-igth as it flow from
one to the other Ore, report was that the ternstile-esan
at Waterloo-bridge had been telegraphed for aed had
itereified the woman; another, that she had made a
" coefeesior.". The i ttelligence was first carried air ugh
the different di.t.icts by the mail-men in the morning ;
and the excitement occasioned thereby predominated over
that whicla was evinced in the capture of Dellei.Sussex
, Gazette.
