THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE MURDER.

The police aro still actively engaged in searching for
anything that may throw a light up nn this mysterious
affair. It has just been ascertained that about four
weeks ago a man of gentlemanly appearance, about 5 feet
7 inches in height, and with dark hair and whiskers,
called at the Prince of Wales, in Upper Kennington-lane,
Lambeth, and asked for a bed. On finding that he could
not have one, he asked and received permission to leave
his bag and coat, which the landlady states corresponded
exact!y with those nom exhibited at the Bow-street
station. He then went away, and the landlady, who
watched him, saw him proceed iu the direction of Vaux-
hall in company with a female resembling the one de-
scribed by the toll-liaeper at Wa..erloo-bridge. It has
been further ascertained that the man then called at the
George and Dragon, Vauxhall, asked for a bed, and on
being informed that he could not have one, went away
with the woman as before, He then reterned to the
Prince of Wales and received his bag and coat, leaving
sixpence in payment. From the description given of
' the woman at these houses the police have hopes of ap•
prehending her before very long.
The inquest will be resumed this afternoon, when
Professor Taylor's report, which has been in the hands
of the authorities for some days past, will be made
'labile. The result of his examination is looked forward
to with great interest ; more especially as certain state-
ments end opinions, said to be those of the professor's,
relative to his examination of the remains, have been
circulated without any foundation or authority on his
