LATEST PARTICULARS,

Up to he present all efforts to discover the Bev Mr.
Iluiine have proved unavailing. The police have no
doubt that the reV. gentleman has been mtirderA, as on
tearing up the floor in the kitchen of 26, Wellington-square,
they found a battered bat, With blddd clots insides The
nephew of the rev. gehtletnan had identified it as beloliging
to his uncle, and a further search has broUght to light a pair
of boots also belonging to Mr. littline. Some of the wearing
apparel worn by the prisoner when taken into custody has
b3en identified as b3long ng to, and worn by, th rev
gentleman when he first disapp:3ared.
The police have dug up the back garden., but nd traces of
the body of the reverend gentleman has beau discovered.
The supposed accomplice in the murder of Mrs. Boss has
also not been discovered. Mrs. Miller, the wife of the pri-
son( r, has been to the police-station, where she was seen by
all the witnesses, and they are positive that she is not the
young person who was present when the body was dis-
covered in the box at 15, Poulton-square, Chelsea
The house at Poulton-square has been shut up by the police,
and there is a large crowd outside of it, The body of Mrs
Boss is still in the house. The cord with which she was
strangled has been compared with the cord tied round the
outside of the box by Miller, and one piece has been found
to have been cut off the other. The object, it is presumed,
that led to the murder of the unfortunate woman was to get
possession of certain papers respecting some property owned
by Mr, lleulin.

On inquiring at the hospital, the state of the prisoner is
such as to make it ekceedingly doubtful whether he would
be taken before the Magistrate for oxtbnination to-day. The
Witnesses who gzte etidende at the itiquefit have notice to
attend, but they can only repeat that which they have
already stated.

THE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF PER-
SONATING WOMEN.

BO W-S T BEET.— (Tins DAY.)

The further examin•ttion of the prisoners Boulton
and Park, who stood charged with the cm raordinAry
charge of personating women, again drew an im-
mense crowd of persons inside the Police-court.
There were a great many gvntlemen accommodated
with seats on the bench, but the interior of the Court
was by no means as crowded as on the two former
occasions.

The first witness examined was—
Henry Holland, who said he was a driver in the
employ of Mr. Yeomans, said, on the day of the Ox-
ford and Cambridge b at race, he was direCted by his
master to go to Wakefield-strt et with a brougham.
He did so, and then Park came ont, and getting
into the brougha,rn said his sister was not ready. He
drove to a re-taurant in Newcastle-street, and on
arriving there Park got out, and. after going and
remaining there a short time Park came back with a
gentleman, and they returned to Wakefield-street,
and the two prisoners then came out dressed as
women, and he was told to drive to Hammersmith-
bridge and see the boat race. He did so, but as he
could not get on to the bridge he was ordered to turn
back, and the prisoners got out and walked a short
distance down the road. No one spoke to them.
They then got into the brougham, and lie was directed
to go to Haxeli's Hotel in the Strand, and was there
discharged. On the 26th of April he drove them to
the Surrey Theatre, and just before the theatre was
over the prisoners, on Mrs. Graham's carriage being
called, left the theatre and entered ti:e brougham
in company with two gentlemen. He was directed
to drive to the Globe Restaurant, when he accord-
ingly did so. After remaining there some time he
drove the prisoners as far as Guildf;)rd-street, where
he was discharged. He did not know the two per
sons were men. They had veils on, but he could not
say whether they wore bonnets. They were quite
sober.

Cross-examined.--He was first spoken to about
giving evidence by Chamberlain. He was taken to
Hunter-street police-station, and having told all he
knew, he was taken to the Treasury, and there
repeated his evidence to Mr. Pollard. Be cou!d
read, but did not become acquainted with th,,
former proceedings at that court by reading.
He was told about it. He wai asked
at the Treasu,y whether on either of the occasions he
drove the prisoners they spoke to gentlemen on get-
ting out of the brougham, and said, " No, they did
not."

Re-examined—Last Friday was the first time he
bad ever seen the prisoners in men's clothes. lie
could not without difficulty find all the public-houses
at which he had stopped while driving the prisoners
in the brougham.
John Reeves, of 61, Frith-street, Soho; staff-super-
intendent at the Alhambra, Leicester-square, said he
had known both prisoners for nearly three yeats, and
during that time he had seen them at the Alhambra
frequently dressed as women. On the first occasion he
told them he believed they were men, and must leave.
A gentleman told me he was deceived, but he marched
them out, and their friends followed them. lie did
not know the name of the gentleman referred to,
but he should know the photograph. The prisoner.,
ou that occasion appeared as if they were enticing
gentlemen. They ,have been to the Alhambra
dressed as men, but they wore low shirt collars, and
their necks and faces were painted up. They looked
more like women than men, and, as they created a
disturbance, he marched them out again. tie had
seen them at the Alhambra as late as March of the
present year, on which occasion they occupied a pri-
vate box, but, although dressed as men, their faces
and necks were painted up. The people looked up,
as they were playing all sorts of frivolous games
with one another. They made noises with their lips,
just the same that females did when they passed gen
tlemen in the streets. They were turned out, the
guinea they had paid for the box returned, and the
money-taker was told not to admit them again. He
did not know whether they were women or men.
They had been to the Alhambra about twenty times,
but only twice in women's clothes.
Cross-examined.—He had seen about 20 men at,
the Alhambra with powdered faces, and his evi-
dence would apply to each. Would swear he had
seen Boulton at the Alhambra in March. On that
occasion he had marched the prisoners out of the
building, he never asked them for their names. Pe
had not kept a diary with respect to the pri-
soners. He would not swear he had seen Bonbon
in Marea. There were a great many women who
went to the Alhambra with painted faces. He did
not, when: he first spoke to inspector Shenton,
wish to introduce himself as a witness in a sensa-
tion case. He was .a volunteer, and did not ex-
pect to be paid for his attendance at that court. _
The Magistrate--You say in your evidence you
have seen about twenty men at the Alh mbra with
painted and powdere 1 faces—were they friend: of
ate defendants ?
Witness—Ye'.
The Magistrate—Have you seen them talking to
the prisoners ?

Mr. Besley, on behalf of the prisoners, asked to
see the letters seized at the prisoners' residence upon
which the prosecution relied to prove their case.
Mr. Bland said they were not yet in evidence, but
all should he seen in good time.
The Court at this point adjourned for a short
iime.

A SLAP IN THE FACE.—An Alexandria letter
reports that the Viceroy intends to replace the whole of
the present Turkish officers in his army down to the
rank of captain, by foreigners—chiefly Americans.
Already some fifty of these latter have been engaged by
his New York agent, and nearly half of those so enrolled
have reached Egypt. As yet, however, they are nearly
all " Generals, and a correspondent reports a stormy
scene between one of these heroes and the Minister of
War, in which the Yankee closed the discussion with the
Pulls, by " reckoning that he was a tarnation skunk,"
and giving him a slap in the face. The official hubbub
thereupon was great, but "General " Mott is said to have
effected a compromise of the quarrel by extracting an
unwilling apology from the Kentuckian, which Cherif
was fain to accept.--Levant Herald.
