LATEST PARTICULARS-(THIS DAY.)

Nothing further than that already published has
transpired to-day with respect to the dreadful
murders committed in London and Ramsgate by
Southey, other wise Forward.
The police authorities feel quite certain that they
have the right man in custody. The woman and
child shot by Forward is the prisoner's lawful wife,
and not Mrs. White.

At the inquest, which takes place this evening,
and which will appear in our late edition, some
further particulars may transpire.

Literary Association of the Friends of

Poland.

The honorary secretary of the Literary Associa-
tion of the Friends of Poland presents his compli-
ments to the Editor of Vie Sun, and requests the
favour of the insertion of the accompanying copy
of a letter received from the Treasury, relative to
some of the Polish refugees now in this country.
The reason for making this request appears in the
letter itself:—

12,306.

Treasury Chambers, August 9, 1865.

Sir,—l am directed by the Lords Commissioners of her
Majesty's Treasury to acquaint you, with reference to the
letter from this Board of the 16th June last, stating that
my Lords had appointed a committee for the purpose of
making inquiry into the distress alleged to exist among
the Polish refugees in this country in consequence of the
suppression of the insurrection which took place in Poland
in the years 1863 and 1864, that the inquiry having now
lasted for nearly two months, my Lords are of opinion that
the time has arrived when steps should be taken for bring-
ing it to a conclusion ; and with this view they have given
directions to tho committee that they are to limit the in-
quiry upon which they are engaged to the cases of those
refugees alone whose applications for relief may be received
at this office on or before the 15th of this month.
My Lords suggest that it would be desiratle if the Lite-
rary Association of the Friends of Poland will cause the
above decision of their lordships to be communicated to
the Polish Emigration.—l am, &c.
(Signed) GEo. A. HAMMOXD.

of the Friends of Poland.

THE MISSING BOMBAY MAILS.--The Ceylon,
which arrived at Southampton yesterday, brought
the heavy portion of the Bombay mail which was due the
10th of last month. The Bombay mail, due the 27th of

last month, is still missing. It was sent by tho Orissa,
which broke down at Aden, and was obliged to return to
Bombay. The Marseilles portion of this mail has reached
London, having been brought on by French mail packet.
It is expected that the heavy portion of the Bombay mail
still missing will reach England with tho next Australian
mail.

THE BRAZILIAN NAVY.--In the recent severe and
hotly contested engagement between the Brazilian
ships and the Paraguayans, in which the latter were de-
feated with very heavy loss, both squadrons were armed
with some of the most approved weapons of modern artil-
lery, the Brazilians being furnished; with a complete Whit-
worth armament, and the Paraguayans with the Blakely
gun. It does not appear, however, that any of the ehipoi
on either side, were ironclad; and therefore the power of
these guns for modern naval warfare was not tested, except
relatively, the one to the other, over wooden ships.
PROPOSED TESTIMONIAL TO Dr. JAS. PATERSON.—"
A meeting, advertised as " a preliminary meeting of

those who sympathise with Dr. James Paterson in the late
difficult and dangerous position in which he was placed,"
was held on Wednesday afternoon in the Crown Hotel,
Glasgow. Sixteen or seventeen gentlemen were present.
Mr. George Mitchell was called to the chair, and in open-
ing the proceedings read a letter from Mr. John Douglas,
photographer, Helensburgh, expressing his regret at being
unable to attend, and subscribing two guineas towards a
testimonial fund. -The chairman then said that it was un-
necessary for him to enter into any of the circumstances
connected with the late Pritchard case. They did not wish
to say anything against the dead, or to praise the living, but
simply to show their sympathy with Dr. Paterson by giv-
ing him a handsome testimonial. He thought Dr. Paterson
had done all that could be expected of any man under the
difficulties in which he was placed, and but for the course
he took the Pritchard case would never have been conducted
to the termination it had. The following motion had been
put into his hands, and he had much pleasure in moving it:
" That this meeting, sincerely sympathising with Dr. JO
Paterson on account of the very trying circumstances in
which he was lately placed, and believing that while he
endeavoured conscientiously to discharge his duty, not
only as a physician, but also as a good citizen, he has been
subjected to an amount of public contumely and abuse to
which he was in no respect entitled, therefore resolve to
present him with a testimonial of its sympathy and good-
will." Dr. Calderwood, in seconding the motion, said he
considered that Dr. Paterson's character had been attacked
in a very extraordinary way, particularly by the profes-
sional papers. The motion was approved of. A committee
was then appointed, embracing the names of many eminent
medical gentlemen in this city. Doubt was expressed by a
gentleman present as to whether a number of those names
in the committee would consent to serve upon it. It was
intimated that their names would not be made public till
their consent was obtained.

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF THE BODY OF CANCTE'g
DAUGHTER.—The most interesting archaeological
discovery which has ever been made in this neighbour-
hood took place in the church of Bosham a few days since
In continuing the restoration of this beautiful specimen
of Saxon architecture some excavations were made in
order to lay bare the bases of the columns supporting
the chancel arch, which are on a much lower level than
those of the arcade separating the nave from the aisles.
In laying bare these bases it was thought advisable
to extend the excavations a little, for it was just in front
of this arch that tradition has uniformly stated that the
youthful daughter of the Danish King Canute was buried.
Just below the level of the old floor a slab of stone WO
discovered. Carefully the excavation was carried on, and
soon it was found, as had been already conjectured, that
this stone covered a small stone coffin. Every care was
taken, and the coffin was afterwards opened in the pre-
sence of the Rev. Henry Mitchell, F.S.A. (the viear of
Bosham), his son, Henry Godwin Mitchell, Mr. C. Sturges
Jones (surgeon of ChichestAr), and Mr. Edgar J. Varlet'
an artist of some note. As soon as the rid, which WI
seven inches thick, was raised, the form of the ant'
could be distinctly seen. The figure was 3ft. 9in. in height,
so that probably the child was not more than five years old'
The hand had been placed by the side of the body ; the
bones, although reduced to a white dust, could be very
clearly traced. The inside measurement of the coffin wag
4ft. 3in. by 141 in. in width at the breast, 13in. at the beau'
and 10in. at the foot. No jewellery or anything of the
sort was found ; probably the child was too young to he_
buried with any personal ornaments about her. This °l_
traordinary discovery fully confirms the tradition that thl
was the daughter of Canute, the form and plainness of the
coffin furnishing additional proof.—West Sussex Gazette:
