previously told him that if the duty could not- be
remitted the sooner it was levied the better, for
they did not want any credit.
Mr. Lawrence Reeves, Mr. Carlton' and Mr.
Punnett then briefly spoke, pointing out the pres-
sure of the present duty, and declaring that the
producer of no article was taxed so heavily directly
as the producer of hops was, and that in conse-
quence the trade was now no longer a remunerative
one.
Mr. DEEdes, M.P., then said that he thought the
subject had been almost talked out, and he thanked
the hon. baronet for the courtesy with which the
deputation had been listened to.
Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE said that he should
inform the Chancellor of the Exchequer of what
had taken place since he had retired, and in the
course of three days an answer should be given
through Mr. Deedes.
The deputation then retired.

TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1859.

Our Detective Police are certainly beginning to
want the assistance of Monsieur C. AUGUSTE
DU PIN, the astute Parisian friend of EDGAR ALLAN
POE, the American Poet and Romancist. Neither
the " Mystery of MARIE ROGET," nor the mist of
doubt surrounding the "Murders in the Rue
Morgue" can be said to eclipse in interest the im-
penetrable and, inscrutable horror enveloping the
tragedies of the Carpet Bag at Waterloo Bridge,
and of that other Carpet Bag on the sands at Mar-
gate, with the dead body of the man to whom it
had belonged lying upon the beach seven miles off
near the foot of Augusta-stairs, at Ramsgate. From
the first there were manifest, in the former of these
two atrocious incidents, the evidences of a diabo-
lical assassination having been perpetrated. At
the last there is beginning to grow out of the first
supposition, in reference to the latter, that the
cause of death was an eccextric kind of suicide—a
conviction that a thousand significant details point
here again to murder, brutal and fiendish murder,
as the real cause of the catastrophe. The corre-
spondent of the chief of our morning contempora-
ries—an anonymous writer, signing his communi-
cation with the initials C. D.—who has recently
scrutinised anew the whole of the evidence laid be-
fore the Coroner's jury at Ramsgate when the
dead body of the poor German traveller was earliest
discovered there under the cliffs—has shown with
extraordinary sagacity how utterly preposterous
it is to .dream that the cause of death there was the
act of deliberate self-destruction. The peculiarity
of the wound in the breast, immediately under the
left nipple, being upwards and the bleeding.from
it inwards, showing that the blow must have been
,adminiitered when the body was in a recumbent
position ! The orifice of the wound being enlarged
by the movement to and fro of the knife
stru-..k through the heart—when the very gash
through the heart shows that death must
have been absolutely instantaneous ! The
considerable amount of property known to have
been in his possession directly before death, having
altogether disappeared—money, watch, signet ring
—nay, the very instrument of death, with which, as
we have already remarked, he must have been killed
instantaneously ! Casual circumstances again, in
regard to the condition of the few articles of his
apparel found scattered along the shore near Mar-
gate, in the vicinity of his empty carpet bag, and
near Ramsgate, in the vicinity of his naked corpse
—such peculiar circumstances, for example, as that
showing that the tops of his boots (according to the
evidence of a cobbler examined before the coroner's
jury) had been cut off with the skill of a practised
shoemaker! Together with that other additional
evidence which went to prove that, upon the beach
near Margate (on the morning of the discovery of
the poor wretch's body near Ramsgate), a portion,
not the whole, but a portion of one of his shirts,
was seen there covered with blood—that it after-
wards, on a second examination, was found to have
been made away with --that i—t at there were tokens on
that spot of a fire having been kindled—that there
was a partially burnt lucifer match lying there, and
imprinted upon the sands the mark of the footsteps
of a man and woman ! All these and other
hardly less sinister and suggestive appearances
carefully enumerated by C. D. in the columns of
the Times, point, we do seriously believe, in this in-
stance clearly, distinctly, unmistakeably to the
murder of that unfortunate forvigner, and a murder,
