'HE WATERLOO-BRIDCIE TRAGEDY.

LATEST PARTICULARS.—(THIS DAY.)
Five days have now elapsed since the discovery of the
remains of the unfortunate individual whose foul murder
has so naturally terrified and shocked the public, and
yet the police appear t) be as far from discovering the
perpetrator or perpetrators as when the announcement
was first made.. The information conveytd to the publio
that beads, feet, eco., of human beings had been fotind in
different parts of theinetropolis, cannot but cause great
uneasiness in their mind, and a sense of insecurity per-
vades it which is anything bat agreeable. It tends to
an impression that with all our boasted civilization and
efficient police system deeds are committed under the
very eye of the police, dreadful to contemplate. In the
case now so painfully exciting the public mind we fin I that
a person can be most inhumanly butchered and treat ed—
the evidenoe before the Coroner showing that the anfor-
tunate:man was stabbed in nine places—pickled in !mine,
nay; probably boiled also, to prevent discovery of the
&rime from decomposition, till such time as the re-
mains could be quietly and safely got rid of ; but for-
tunately' for the public the latter part of the inten-
tions of the , parties implicated has been providen-
tially frnstrated, and it is to be hoped that before
long these fiend4—fitting companions for Indian
&pls.—will be in the hands of justice and expiate
their Crime on the scaffold.
The twoLhuman heads found in Sussex-gardens were
brought to the Bow-street station yesterday evening,
and submitted. to a medical examination. The :result
,went to show thlrthey have no connection whatever
with the remains found at Waterloo-bridge, and that
they were probably buried ia the place in which they
Were found by some persons who had used them for
Anatomical purposes, as they bear the marks of having
been operated upon by a surgeon. One of the heads ii
that of -a man,.and is quite hard and withered ; the
other is-that of a female with red hair appended.
A human foot-was found in the Grand junction
Canal about three weeks ago in a goodetate of preserva-
tion. The pollee,- at the time, appeared to treat the
subject With indifference, as it-was presumed that the
foot bad been in the possession of some medical student
who had nu.other way-of disposing of it than by .throw-
ing it in the canal ; but on due consideration, of the
matter, the queetion now seriously arises, did that foot
belong to the body found at-Waterloo-bridge ?
It seems the foot, which at the time was supposed to
be that of a female—but on this point it is at Present
impoesible to arrive at a right conclusion-- when; found
WILII quite. whole,' not being in the least mitilated
•r• . It had been disjointed from the
Aakle, and there„were no marks of disease about it or
signs of an anatomical examination. Had the font been
obtained from any hospital for anatomical purposes, :t
would not have been thus got rid of without being used
As an anatnmical aebject, for since the new Anatomy
Act came into operation, and, resurrection men them-
selves became defunct, it is very expensive for students
and purgeons 'to obtain -such subjects for anatomical
researches. -

. It is feared that this discovery was never made known
to any other police, districts, and the mysterious affair
would have passed, over unnoticed were it not; for the
vigilant eye of.the press.
It, does not appear clear what has become of this foot,
whether it remains in the dead-house or has been buried
with the,heads, but it certainly behoves the police now
to strietly investigate whether the foot has any conneo-
tion with the present dreadful tragedy, or.any other of a
similar nature secretly. committed in the metropolis. It
may be, some fearfal disclosures will take place respect-
ing secret crime; in London.
Yesterday evening two German lads, who described
themselves as bakers, called at the Bow-street police
station, and requested to be allowed to examine the
clothes,: stating that a friend; and fellow-countryman of
theirs had been missing for about three weeks. The
clothes were accordingly shown to them, when one of
them positively asserted that they were those of their
missing friend. ltr. Superintendent Durkin, however,
seat immediately to the residence of the missing man,
and; obtained evidence which proves that the lad was
mistaken in his impression, and that the clothes are not
those of the absent German. 4 further search was made
•yesterday in the.barge to which the bag was taken on
Friday morning by the lads Barber and Kileby, when
another sock was found, and also a black silk neckcloth,
both, of which had fallen out of the bag.
•There is now little doubt but that the unfortunate de-
ceased was, if not a foreigner, at least a stranger in the
metropolis, and that his death was caused by a number
of wounds received in the region of the heart. The
police are of opinion that the carpet-bag in which the
remains Were found was that which the deceased carried
when inveigled into the house in which he met his
death.. Too he was a traveller may be inferred from
the fact that he wore a great-coat at the time of the fatal
occurrence, and as the weather was extremely warm a
fortnight ago, it is not probable that he would have worn
such alarruent had he not lately come off a journey.
The tact that some female hairs have been found cling-
ing to the remains would lead to the inference that at
least one WOM4II was directly concerned in the mutila-
tion of the body, if not in the fatal assault upon the
deceased. The hairs, when examined through a micro-
scope, are found to be long, soft, and of a light colour.
A portion of the hair of a man's whiskers, of a dark
colour, was also found clinging to the particles of flesh
and bone.

1- -NE'

The weapon with which the crime was perpetrated
appears to have been one of these common dirk knives,
which may be picked up at brokers' shops in any part of
the metropolig. The stab.; through the clothes in the
region of the, heart are made longitudinally ; and it
would appear front other stabs in the shoulder and
collar of tine coat, that the deceased must have had a
severe struggle with his assailants, and that be was
atruek indiscriminately before the wounds were made in
the left side, any one of which would appear to be suffi-
cient to account for death.

Although there can be no doubt that the murder was
perpetrated in a most deliberate wanner, it does not ap-
pear that the arrangements for the disposal of the
remains were carried out with the caution which the
enormity of the offence would suggest. No means
appear to have been taken for sinking the bag in the
water, and it is now proved that, even if the bag had
sunk as intended, the long rope attached to it would
have floated en the surface of the river, and thus have
infallibly led to the discovery of the bag and its contents.
The circumstance that the entire snit of clothes worn by
the deceased, being the chief if not the only evidence by
which he could be traced, were packed up with the
remains, is also a carious
fact in the case, as an addi-
tional illustration of the fact that the greatest criminals
generally commit same strange oversight when endea-
vouring to conceal the traces of their guilt.
The Commissioners of Police have communicated with
Si; G. Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment, on the subject of offering a reward for the
apprehension of the chief actors in the tragedy, and we
believe 100/. will be offered for any evidende that may
lead to their conviction. It is also believed that a sum
of 50/. will be offered for the apprehension of the woman
who was known to have brought the bag to Waterloo-
bridge.
Two French gentlemen .connected with the French
press were present yesterday at the coroner's inquest,
watching the proceedings with great interest, in the
ovent.of anything being disc'osed with reference to the
deceased's identity, and his being a foreigner, to imme-
diately telegraph the fact to the continent.
The question relative to the remains being those of
a foreigner or an Engebman appears now to be set at
rest, if the clothes' found in the bag with them are to be
Li
considered of any importance. They have been pro-
nounced, by a competent person called in by Mr. Super-
intendent Durkin to examine them, to be positively of
foreign manufacture—either French or Belgian. The
person referred to states that the clothes are inch as
would be worn by persons moving in respectable society ;
and, furthermore, that
they were made to order, from
their being of a style and workmanship superior to that
to be found in ready-made or slop articles. If it really
be so, that they are of foreign manufacture, and that
they belonged to the deceased, the difficulty surrounding
his identification becomes greater, it not insur-
mountable.
The number of persons who have lost relations, that
have called daily at the police-station to examine
the clothes, is truly appalling. Up to the time of
our going to press at least twenty persons had
called at the station to look at them to ascertain whe-
ther they belonged to those whom they held dear. It
is truly lamentable and heartrending to witness the
agony of mind in which many are, fearing an inspection
of the elothes will reveal to them the horrible and brutal
manner in which their relative has lost his life ; they
composewives in husbands,
search of father's eons,
sister's and brother's brothers, and friends looking
for a friend. Amongst them this morning was
a gentleman who has missed his son ; he
appeared in great distress of mind and showed the police
' a photograph likeness he had with him of his son in
• hopes that it might load to his discovery. Another was
reopeotably dressed female in search of her husband,
who left her about six weeks since, and of whose.where-
abouts 'she has not been able to glean any information :
she was unable to identify the clothes, but said that they
Were something similar to those worn away by her hus-
band whenhe left his home ; it is needless almost to state
that the clothes have nut yet (3 o'clock) been indentified.
The, remains have undergone another examination
this morning in the presence of Mr. Paynter by a gen-
tleman of the highest surgical attainments in the metro-
polis, and it is so far satisfactory to Mr. Paynter, and it
' will be no doubt satisfactory to the public to know, as
showing the improbability of medical science being in
error in this matter, that he quite concurs in Mr.
paynter's -opinion given in his evidence before the
Coroner relative to the mutilation of the body, the
wound on the breast, and the remains belonging to a
male. The two heads have also undergone a second
examination, but neither of them belong to the remains.
The foot stated to have been found some time since in
the canal has not been examined by Mr. Paynter, for the
extraordinary reason that the authorities who once had
it in their possession do not appear to know what has
become of it. It is described as being the fore part of
the foot from the ancle joint,
and too smallto belong to
a wan. Search is beiag made for it, and when found it
will be carefully examined by Mr. Paynter, and com-
pared with the remains. Mr. Paynter's impression,
from the deecripition
does not belong to the remains.
given him of the foot, is that it

In the course of his sermon on the Fast-day, the Rev.
A. I. Ritchie, of Dundee, mentioned, as illustrations of
tho extent of the bereavements caused by the Indian
mutiny, that a gentleman in this oountry had lost 22
relatives in India within six weeks ; and that out of
thirteen of a family party which met last year in St.
Apdrews, only one is now living,
'twelve having gone
out to India and fallen victims to the mutiny.

THE LATE SHIPWRECKS OFF RAMSGATE.

The following is the report of the Ramsgate
harbour master (Captain Marten) to the committee
of the Royal National Life-boat Institution of the
lamentable wrecks which recently occurred off that
that place :

" Royal Harbour-office, Ramsgate, Oct. 10, 1857.
" Since ray last we have been called off several times
by alarm guns, but in every instance nothing occurred
worthy of note. You will be pleased to hear that the
life-lines and gear, proposed and prepared by me,
together with our life cranes (which the committee of
the Royal National Life-boat Institution unanimously
approved of), have been the means, through God's
mercy, of saving the crews of two vessels at the back of
our pier, in the terrific storm of the Bth inst., when and
where no life boat could have been of any avail. The
breaking up of the vessels was all but instantaneous,
and fragments of their wreck Were hurled over the pier
into the Vessels at their moorings inside the harbour.
There has been nothing so fearful as this seen since the
27th Nov., 1836. One life only has been lost, and no
other severe casualty to life or limb in or about the har-
boar, although several vessels, which were entirely un-
manageable, ran head on into the basin' walls. The little
boy who perished had our life-line in both hands, and
while I was calling to him how best to secure himself,
a broken spar struck him on the back and dashed him
against the stone wall, when he disappeared.
" We maintained our position, sometimes with our
lives in our bands, but an especial Providence preserved
us while doing our duty, and the consciousness of that
is a sufficient reward.
•' When the gale had abated we looked anxiously to-
wards the Goodwin. All seemed clear, but the follow-
ing morning at daylight, the Gull light-vessel made sig-
nals for assistance ; and our life-boat, in tow of our
steamer, being immediately despatched, they found on
the South Calliper a fine American ship a complete
wreak. All hands but one were missing, and supposed
to have been lost ; that one had been taken out by a
Deal lugger. He stated that the ship had gone on the
.and at midnight, and that the long-boat, with all hands,
had broken adrift and left' him only on board. At
noon, however, we had the satisfaction of seeing them
brought into this harbour, having been picked up at
sea."

LQSS 01? THE LEXINGTON AND THREE

LIVES.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The following letter, addressed to Mr. Taylor,
manager of the New Steam Tug Company, was
posted at the underwriters' rooms this morning :

" Valentia, Oct. 8.

" Dear Sir,—l am sorry to inform you that the Lex-
ington is no mole. We left this harbour,iat 11,45 a.m.,
wind N., fresh braes°, and rising glass. All went on
well until after we got round Bray Head, when it came
on to blow a gale from the N.W., with very heavy sea,
and engines working at slow speed, for fear of
parting the hawser. A signal was made from the
ship to keep her away ; but in keeping away
for the west passage for Valentia Harbour, engines
working dead slow, the rope parted at the ship's hawse-
pipe. It was then impossible to get fast to her again ;
by the time we could get the hawser in the ship would
be on the rocks and all hands perished. I ran to lee.
ward, anal got 13 hands on board. I got the life-boat
out. Mr. Brewster (mate) and the boy Godfrey volun-
teered. They were in the boat for some time, but, not
able to get at the ship, I got them on board, made
another run at the weather-side of the ship ; and,
amidst a terrific sea running, we succeeded in getting
one man. Lines were thrown on board, but the other
poor fellows seemed to be bewildered, and were unable
to make the ropes fast to themselves and jump over-
board. We were then so eose to the rocks that the
hands saved begged for me to back out. The lifeboat I
lost, and very thankful to clear so well. We got, be-
sides, some damage to our port quarter in getting the
men saved from the ship. I lam afraid three men
are drowned, but there may be some hopes ; the ship
went in at the back of Sawa ell Rock, and disappeared
from UR. The gale still incteasing, I put back to Va-
lentia. I should have telegraphed you last evening ;
but, going on shore, something had happened to the
wires. The ship went on about 3.30 p.m. on Puffin
Island (St. Finan Bay.) It is blowing a gale from the
N. W. I sha 1 have to get some fuel 39 soon as the
weather will permit, and will lose no time in getting
home.—Your obedient servant,
" JOHN HARVEY,
" Master of the steam-tug Resolute."

THE REV. MR. SPURGEON AND THE
CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY.

As we find that misconception exists in the minds
of some of the public relative to the circumstances
under which Mr. Spurgeon consented to preach
in the Crystal Pala o on Wednesday last, it is right
to state that the Rev. Gentleman, in agreeing to

the proposal made to him to preach for the Indian
Relief Fund on that day, merely stipulated that
the Company should act liberally towards the
Fund. His sole inducement to preach on the
occasion was a desire to do all in his power towards
increasing the fund for the relief of our countrymen
and countrywomen, who had suffered from the
Indian mutinies. And the benevolent wisk of the
Rev. Gentleman must have been gratified to an
extent ho could hardly have anticipated ; for the
total amount, including the 2001. contribution
made by the Company, produced by Mr. Spur-
geon's sermon, was 6801. This splendid donation
was handed over yesterday to the Lord Mayor by
the Rev. Gentleman. After what-we have stated
it is unnecessary to add, that Mr. Spurgeon in-
dividually has not received a single farthing for his
services on Wednesday last. Those, indeed, who
are personally acquainted with the Rev. Gentle-
man, know that a more disinterested or generous-
minded man does not exist, and that no considers
tion on earth would have induced him to receive
any gratuity from the directors on the occasion,
had it been offered to him. It is due, however, to

them to state that, as an expression of their sense
of the value of his services, and of the disinterested
manner in which he acted, they have given 50/.
towards the fund now raising for the place of wor-
ship which it is in contemplation to erect for the
Rev. Gentleman.—Morning Advertiser.
