And lightning,* blaze from poll to poll,
Which levity the guilty tool ?

PI JRDER of 'Mr. MARI? and Etimmr.

Yesterday the anxious. throng of spectators again
surrerinded the premises of the late Mr. Marr, in ex-
pectation of the result of ti.e investigation of a Coro-
t -r's Inquest; but they were d seppointed, owing to
the absence of the Coroner oft business, and the de-
tire of obtaining more circumstantial evidence for
the serious deliberation of a Jury. The Inquest will
be summoned for this day.
The most vigilant inqu'ry is set on font by the
Magistrates, and Officers from all the Police Offices
in the Metropolis ; and it is hoped their rers2vetance
will lead to the Lliccovery of the wretch s, who have
petpetreted this horrible deed. The reported con-
finement and examination of some Pertugte:se is void
.4IV foundation. The watchman is positive, that, on
his trying the pins in the shutter, and observing to the
persons inside, that one of them was loose, the answer
was, -4‘ All's well." This is a famiaar English
phrase, and had it been spoken in a foreign accent,
it would have so struck hint ; but he preaumed, that
the voice answering him, was that ef Mr. Marr, and
took no farther notice.
The Police Officers have interrogated the servant
girl, in the presence of the relatives of the deceased ;
and tier relation of a conversation which passed be-
weer) Mrs. Marr and a discarded servant, during her
pregnancy, is of a singular nature. It appears, Mrs.
Marr discharge; this servant, named Wilkie, from a
suspicion of her honesty. Words arose, when the
accused girl is said to have held out a threat of mur-
der. 'Mrs. Marr, at the time, gently rebuked her for
using such language, and requested she would not
alarm her at her advanced state of pregnancy. The
girl frequently called after her discharge; and Mrs.
Man as often remonstrated- with her on her loose cha-
racter and hasty temper; assuring the girl of her
friendship and readiness to serve her, if she would re.
form her prostituted life, and return into honest ser-
vice. The last time the girl called to see Mrs. Marr,
she was dressed in a white gown, black velvet spen-
cer, cottage bonnet with a small feather, and shoes
with Grecian ties. Where the girl now resides, is
not known by any of the deceaseds' relatives.
' It seems to be the general opinion of the Police,
that the ruffians entered the shop the moment Mr.
Marr had closed his window-shutters, and that they
introduced themselves by inquiring the price of black
silk handkerchiefs, as there were some found lying
on the counter ; and the servant girl is confident,
that there were none of that description on the coun-
ter when she passed- through the shop, on her way
into the street.
The following description of the premises and. ad-
joining buildings, will lead the public to form some
idea of the difficulty of the escape of the villains,
who, it would seem, were well acquainted with the
place :
The house stands in Ratcliff-Highway, between
St. John's-Hill and Artichoke• Hill, both of them'
thoroughfares leading to, and terminating in, a line'
with Pennington-street, composed of a compact
square of dwelling-houses, encircling
.a piece of
ground for the general use of the inhabitants, to
which there is no passage but through the premises
of the neighbours. All these houses are inhabited,
•. except one at the corner of Artichoke-hill, leading
into Pennington-street. On the ruffians being alarm-
ed by the ringing of the bell, they went through the
small yard detached off by Mr. Marr, got over the
gateway into the enclosed space of ground, and broke
open the outer and inner doors of the empty dwell-
ing, and made their escape into Pennington-street,
from whence all trace was lost. The neighbours
heard a noise, arid a person saw some men rush out,
but the unexpected surprise in seeing the men walk
with unusual speed at that hour, precluded him from
particularly observing their persons.
The concourse of people was even greater yester-
day than on Sunday. Three police officers were sta-
tioned at the door of the desolate house, and it was
with difficulty they could keep the pathway clear.—
The rain descended in torrents, yet several gentle.
men remained, regardless of its fury, in expectation
of hearing the evidence on the Court of Inquiry.----
The ship carpenter's maul, which the murderers left
behind them in the house, weighs about eight pounds;
it is in the share of an anvil, with a wooden handle,
inserted nearly in the middle. The weighty side is
r unded at the end like a hammer, for driving the ship
bolts, and the other side, which tapers to a point,
about the diameter of a sixpence, is used as a punch
for driving the bolt deeper beneath the surface lithe
• _wood, by striking the heavy end with another ham-
mer. It was Wiik this muiderous weapon the skulls
