LATEST PARTICULARS.—(This Day.)

The particulars connected with this mysterious
murder appear to be as intricate and bid fair tl
baffle, for the present, the vigilance of one of the
best detective police force that ever existed, and to
create as much, if not greater interest on the part
of the public, than the notorious cases in which
Good, and Greenacre, and the Mannings were con-
cerned, and for which they paid the penalty of their
lives. The more the affair is investigated the
greater isthe mystery in which this horrible matter
is involved.

Throughout the morning our reporter has been
vigilently engaged in collecting as many particulars
as possible in connection with the affair, and we
are enabled to lay before our readers such facts as
wa believe can be relied on, allowance being made
for the crude manner in which they are put forth,
from the shortness of time in which they had to be
gathered.

It appeari, teen, that till carpet-bag containing
the horribly mutilated remains was found on the
third buttress of Waterloo-bridge, on the Middle-
sex side of the river West ; but tbe- most extra-
ordinary part of the ease is, and which shows that
the hand of Providence, sooner or latter, brings
such diabolical acts to justice, that the carpet bag
should have lodged on the part of the buttress where
it was found. The buttresses of this bridge are in the
form of an elongated double eliptic, pointed east.and
west, the .upper part from which the span of the
bridge springs being convex. That the bag was
found there, there is no reason to doubt, from the
rigid examination which the lads who found it
hive undergone, and the coherence of their state-
ments.

Another point will probably attract• the at-
tention of. the public, and suggest the question
'how it is possible for the toll collector at the Water-
loo Station to be so positive as to a woman pass-
ing with a carpet bag and parcel, and to be able
to indentify them. The answer, however, is very
plain and obvious to any person who has had oc-
casion to crois the bridge at a late hour. The
practice observed is to close one of the turnstiles
on each side of the bridge, causing passengers from I
each side of the water to pass through two only
where there is kept a good light ; but not so their
egress, because the four turn-tables, through which
persons pass, on leaving the bridge, are open, and
a patty might leave the bridge on the dark side
unobserved.

The toll-keeper Etherington, who was on duty
at Waterloo-bridge at half-past eleven on ThnrsdaY
night, distinctly remembers a woman coming to the
toll-gate for foot passengers, and placing the carpet
bag, which he has since identified, on the iron
shelf, which it will be remembered is at the side of
the turnstile. The woman was so agitated
that she did not proceed through the turnstile
in the usual manner, in consequence of which
the man ha I to assist her with the bag,
and placing his foot upon the spring of the turn-
stile, he allowed it to rotate in the usual manner,
hut shtdid not pass at the moment as passengers
are expected to do, and when she kid passed
through, the dial necessarily recorded the passage
of two persons instead of one, and the toll-keeper
was deficient a halfpenny in his cash, a circumstance
which caused him to retain a vivid recollection of

the woman and her burden, Besides the carpet
bag, she had with her a brown paper parcel which
it his since been supposed contained the head,
hands, and feet of the victim of this mysterious
affair. She walked with au ungainly gait,
and had white or light-coloured hair. From the
development of the bones, and the hair found in
the arm-pits and at the back of the knees, it would
appear that the mangled person was a man about
30 years of ag,., of muscular habit, and of not very
dark complexion. •
At present the information gleaned by the
police relative to the supposed murderess, is
very slight. They have their eye on two
women, and there is every reason to believe
that they are on the right track, aryl that
ultimately their suspicions, as to. the one, will be
realised, and that it will be proved beyond doubt
that she was the person who passed the turn stile
with the carpet bag and parcel on Thursday night.
As yet the police. have gleaned no information
relative to the unfortunate victim, and it is only
by the clothes that they can hope to do so. On a
personal inspection of them we can state that they
appear rather the 'worse for wear, and as if they
had been saturated in dirty water. The only th;ng
peculiar about them is the coat, which has what is.
called by tailor's a "tab," or piece of cloth with
which to fasten it over in front, instead of links, the
more usual plan. The waistcoat is of black cloth'
with a roll c Afar and four buttons in front. Six'

or seven persons have inspected the clothes this
morning, oue of them, Mr. Weaver, a tailor, fancies
he has a slight knowledge of the coat. To identify
these is of the utmost importance, for by that Mr.
Superintendeut Durkin, who has been mist iude-
Ittigable in his endeavours to unravel this extraor-
dinary tragedy, hopes ultimately to discover tht
murderers, from being able to trace the movements
of the murdered man from his leaving home to where
the foul deed'raust have boa' perpetrated.
Another extraordinary fact connected with the
affair is the mutilation of the clothes,
s, and an
examination of them we are enabled to state tha
the wounds found on the body must have been in-
flicted ou the unfortunate man when he was par-
tially dressed. There are' seven cuts cr stab=
in the shirt and tinder-shirt correspond-
ing with wounds on thebody,
are none on the waistcoat or coat, but there is
a rent on the left breast of the coat on the outside,
but not on the inside.
The carpet bag in which the remains were found

Around it, or attached -to it, is a piec3 of peach
:loured -string,' about a yard long, similar. to- that

used for blinds or hanging pictures. With this
string, no doubt; the party lifted it .out over Ihe•
pa,rapet,.. and let it fall, waen it fell on -the
Autment, which, it is - strange to -say; cannot:
be seen even in 'the day-tiMe by a person standing.
immediately over it.
The clue that might lead to the 'apprehension.
of the parties, which we have gleaned from'
our own investigation, is this : it appears- that
on Thursday night, a highly respectable per-
srm named Taylor, residing 'in the Westminiter-
road, wardrobe-keeper to the Adelphi Theatre,
WAS returning home, over Westminster-bridge,

about quarter past 11 o'clock. When at the
uerof Pedlar's-acre, or Belvedere-road, he' noticed
from the great light from the lamps crustered near;
there of the public houies and the strEet-,-
lamp, a man and woman . to- •
wards him. Tim man, who was a rather tall and
stout man, was carrying a carpet-bag, which'was
rather bulky, and tEe woman, whose description ,
!allies with that of the Waterloo-bridge collector,
had a brown paper parcel in his hand. Their)
evident respectability, and • carrying such
'I) :reels attrActed his attention, and he thought
that if they had arrive! by train from the country
and wanted a lodging, or were going to their ;
house,. that it was string,' they bad not hied a cab. -
Mr. Taylor has this morning . been to the Bow-
street police-stAtion, and identified the carpet-bag-.
as the one he saw carried by the man 'on the ab),&

,uig!tt.

The newt suspicious affair is that of the story of a

man known as " Bill" who jobs about at the New
Inn, opposite Astley's Thiatrd. He sta,es that at
a later hour than that mentioned by Mr. Taylor,
he saw a man and woman cons from the Belvidere-.
road towards the Westminster-road, and when at the
oorner they inquired for a cab. The man at the
coffee-house standing thera ran for a cab, whilst
Bill looked after his standing. When the cab
came up the woman got in, but -" Bill" says the
woman had no parcel. The man bad a large'
carpet-bag, which was heavy, but he objeated to
"Bill's" touching it, and put it into the cab him-
self, giving him a penny when the tb drove oft', by
the direction of the man t ) the Regant's-circus.
Shortly after the man who went away in the cab'
was seen to return, and there hail a cab that was

vaising, and drive in the direction of York-road,
;leading to the Surrey end of Waterloo-bridge.
The supposition therefore is that the man left
the woman in the Strand, and proceeded round to
meet her in the Waterloo-road after the had, a 3 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 limning -strong dow❑ at.
the time.

Throughout yesterday and to-day m 34
were engaged, under the superintendency _64
Mr. Durkin, dragging the river, in-
hopes of finding the head, hands; Arc., but with-
out success; it is supposed that they have bean:
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 the
remains has just taken place by competent par-
sons, whose opinion is that professional persons
have been engaged in the mutilation of the body.

QUARTER TO SEVER O'CLOCK.

The further investigation we have been en-
ablPd to make renders the affair more mys-
indous than at first. If it really be a mur:
der, ,the supposition is that it was corn.
witted on the Surrey side of the water, and that

the woman's bringing the remains o ver Waterl oo-
bridge from the railway is a ruse to lull suspicion.
A strong suspicion is prevalent that the matter
is a hoax on the part of medical students.

The inquest is fixed for 3 o'clock on Monday, at

the Board-room of the Strand Union, Bow-street,
by which time no doubt the police will be able to
throw some light on the matter.
