Yesterday, at noon, our honoured Crown Prince
landed on Rugen, and this afternoon he is to enter
this place. Our joy is great. Prosperity to him and
his Swedes. Soon will the gnemy feel what we are
capable of under his orders.

Eight thousand men had before reached Rugen,
who, on account of the storm, were not landed.—
To-day that the wind has fallen, they will be landed.
The military air of the Swedish troops is admirable.

MURDER OF MR. AND MRS. MONSON
BONA R.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.
The murder which it was our painful task to relate
for the information of the public yesterday, equals
both in mystery and in horror any of the most atro-
cious which have of Tate years disgraced the criminal
annals of this country. It now appears that, on Sun-
day evening, Mr. THOMSON BONAR went to bed at
his usual hour : Mrs. BONAR did not follow him till
two o'clock, when she ordered her female servant to
call her at seven o'clock in the morning. The SIT•
vant, as she had been directed, at the appointed time
went into the bed•room of her master and mistress,
and found Mr. BONAR mangled and dead upon. he
floor, and her lady wounded, dying and insensible in
her bed. A bent poker which was lying on the
ground, as well as the fractured condition of the
heads of the unfortunate victims, plainly denoted
with what instrument the act had been committed.
As there were some remains of life in Mrs. BOXAR,
servants were sent express to town for surgical assist.
ance. Mr. Airrt.EY COOPin Arrived wi h all possible
dispatch, but it was too late :-.-the wound am mor-
tal, and she expired at eleven minutes past one
o'clock, hav;ng been, during the whole previnus
time, insensible, and only once uttering the excl Ul)4-
tion of " Oh ! dear !" We never witness. d such
a scene of horror as the bed-room presented.—
Almost the first object which met the eye on enter-
ing, was the dead body of !yin BONAR, with the held
and hands steeped in blood ; the scull was literally
broken into fragments, in two or three place; and
there was a dreadful laceration across the nose, as if
effected by the edge of a poker. His hands were
mangled in several places, apparently by the same
instrument : there was also a severe wound on the
right knee. Vora the numerous wounds on the body
of Mr. BONAR, from the swoln state of h:s mouth, and
the convulsive adhesion of his hands and knees, it is
clear that he had struggled with all his trete against
his horrid murderer. The most shocking circum-
stances cottnected with this spectacle was the appear-
ance of the night-cap, which lay a few paces from the
head, drenched in blood, with a lock of grey hair
sticking to it, which seemed to have been struck from
the skull by the violence of the blow of the poker.—
The pillow of his bed lay at his feet completely dyed
in blood. The manly athletic person of Mr. BONAR,
for though advanced in life he seems to have been
powerful man—gave an increase of homer to this
afflicting sight. The view of Mrs. BONAR, though
equally distressing, excited more pity than terrur ;
though her head had been fractured in a dreadful
manner, yet there was a calm softness in her coun-
tenance, more resembling a healthy sleep than a
violent death : it might have been supposed that her
life had parted from her without one painful effort.—
The linen and pillow of the bed in which she lay were
covered with blood, as was also the bed of Mr. Bow AR.
They slept in small separate beds, but placed so close
together that there was scarce room for a person
to pass between them. The interval of floor between
the beds was almost a stream of blood. No slight
additional horror arose from the contrast of tie spa-
cious, handsome apartment, in which this scene of
death was exhibited.

The most heart-moving spectacle yet remained.—
About seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. BONAR, jun.
arrived from Faversham, where he was on duty as
Colonel of the Kent Local Militia. In spite of the
efforts of Mr. AKOERSTEIN, jun. and some other Gen-
tlemen, be rushed up stairs,„exclaiming, " Let me
see my father—indeed I must see him." It was im.
possible to detain him : he burst into the bed-chamber,
and immediately locked the door after him. Appre-
hensions were entertained for his safety, and the door
was broken open, when he was seen kneeling with
clasped hands over the body of his lather. His friends
tore him away, and hurried him, tottering and faint-
ing, into an adjoining chamber.
Such are the circumstances connected with the fact
of this horrid catastrophe : as to its author or authors,
nothing has transpired but suspicion and surmise.
There has been no attempt at robbery, and no other
motive can be imagined for the assassination of two
persons who were not only inoffensive, but univer.
sally beloved for their kindness and benevolence. It
is a curious circumstance, that the poker with which
the crime seems evidently to have been perpetrated,
does not belong to any part of the house, and must
have been brought there by the assassin. No part of
the house is broken in, though it is reported that the
house-door was found open in the morning, Mrs.
BONAR, as we have already stated, did not retire to
1:•::c1 till two o'clock ; and at four o'clock a woman,
who goes there to wash, ret herself in ; but whether
the crime was committed in this interval, or after-
wards, there seems at present no clue to develop,.
None of the servants appear to have been alarmed by
any cries in the night, but their division of the house
is at some distance from the wing in which Mr. :ind
Mrs. BONAR slept. Though the room is coyeted
with blood, it appears rather strange, that there is no
trace of a bloody footstep in the anti-room er hall,
(the stairs are 'spread with red carpeting,) and only
one or two drops of blood in the hall.
About seven o'clock in the morning, when the
alarm was raised among the servants, the footman,
Philip Nicholson, rode express to Loadon on one of ,
the best horses in the stable : he went first to Mr.
ASTLEY COOPER, then to the Red Lion, near Bed-
lam, where he saw Dale, a man who has lately been
discharged from the service of Mr. BONAR, and to
whom he used, (as is reported,) these remarkable ex-
pressions : " The deed is done, and you are suspected;
but you are not in it." He then proceeded to the
office at Bow-street, to give information of the mur-
der ; and stated that he had seen Dale at the Red
Lion, together with what had passed, which induced
the officers afterwards to go to Dale. Nicholson ap-
peared intoxicated at the office: indeed he had been
seen to take three glasses of rum at the half-way
house. The officers then directed him to follow them,
but lost sight of him in Brydges-street ; and he has
not been seen since that time—at least he had not re-
turned to Chislehurst at eight o'clock in the evening
of yesterday.
4 warrant was issued to apprehend him, his room
and box were searched, and from s'bme papers there
found,.it was s' en that he had been discharged troM
the dragoons as an invalid last January, and had
since that period lived with Mr. TYRRELL, the Re-
membrance'. ;—he had been only three weeks in the
family of Mr. BONAR.
