-cur own invest:gation, is this : it appears Aliat
,n Thursday night, a highly respectable per-
named Taylor, residing _in- the Westminster--
roa.d, wardrobe-keep:r to the Adelpiai Tirmtre,
ras returning home, over Westminster-bridge,
about quarter past 11 o'clock. When at the cor-
ner of Pedlar's-acre, or Belvedere-road, he noticed
;rote the great light from the lamps clustered near
there of the public houses and the street-
lamp!, a man and woman • clming to-
wards him. The man,
.who was a rather tall and
stout man, was carrying a •carpet-bat, which was
.tither bulky, and the woman, whose description
•allies with that of the Waterloo-bridge collectlr, •
had a brown paper parcel in .his hand. Their
evident respectability, and carrying such
parcels attracted his attention, and. he thmight
that if they had arrive 1 by train from the coact! y .
and wanted - a lodging, or were going t s their

'douse, that it was strange they had not hi-e:1 a cab.
!Ur. Taylor has this morning b3en to the, B )w-
-street police-station, and. identified the carpet-bag
as the one he saw carried by the man on the ab )ve

light.

The next suspicions affair is thlt of the st.,ry of a

man knOwn as "Bill" who job 3 about at the New

Inn, opposite Astley'e Theatii: He sta`es that a
a later hour than that mentioned -by Mr. Taylor.,
he saw a man and woman come from the Belvidere-
road towards the Westminster-road, and when at the
c Jrner they inquire 1 for a cab. The mm at the
coffee-house standing there ran for a cab,. whilst
Bill looked after his standing.' When the cab
came up the woman got iu, but " Bili" says the
woman had no parcel. The man had a: large
carpet-bag, which was heavy, but he objedted to`
•' Bill's" touching it, and put it into the cab him-
se'f, giving hitil a penny when the cib drove off, by
th) direction of the man to the Regent's-circus.
Shortly after the man who went away in the cab
was seen to return, and there hail a cab that wag.

The suppOsition therefore is that the man left

the woman in the Strand, and proceeded rouad_ to
In set her in the Waterloo-road after she had, as was
no doubt supposed by them, safely deposited the
bag and parcel in the Thames, to be washed away
by the tide that was then running strong down at
the time.

Throughout yesterday and to-clay inma
were engaged, under the superinttndencs of
Mr. Durkin, dragging the river', iti
hopes of finding the head, hands, Sze., but with-
out success ; it is supposed that they have been
carried a considerable distance down by the tide
and then embedded for the present, and -thereby
defying their exertions.

We understand that an examination of tin
remains has just taken place by compe'eut per-

sons, whose opinion is that professional persons

hive been engaged in the mutilation of the body.
Should anything particular occur in the ecurs3
of the afternoon, wo will give it in a late editi,.'n.
