!Ilattd.ROßoeoll STMT.—Yesterday Plank, tie Chief
Officer, was sent for by Mr. WiNoek, of Golden yquarc,
who is freasnrer to the Burlington Schutt!, in Oh/ liiir•
lington-street, to examine a bundle found in the arra tif
that Estabtishment. On doing so he die/cove-red an en.-
tire suit of men's clothes almost 'iterated with blood, a
blue coat, w ith gilt buttons, black witistethitortruto corded
breeches, and a pair of &orb "loth gaiters. They were.
brought to the °them, and appeared tit have lain RIIMOIR
days in the area, as they hail evidently been there during
the snow. As yet no clue has been found to accou...t
fur this mysterious affair.
Tuesday was the day appointed for the re-examinatiea
of the persons suspected of being concerned in the
atrocious murder of Mr. Smith, at Lewisham; the pri
salters were brought from Maidstone Gaol to the Mitre
Tavern, Greenwich, where a Bench of Migistrater as.
sembled. At about twelve o'clock the prisoners arrived
in the town. Their names are James and Robert Smith.
and James Webster; the two former brothers; all bay-
ing the appearance of decent tradesmen. The prisoners
Smiths ate shoemakers, and Webster a shipwright. 0
their being conducted into the Justice Room, they weir:
placed at the bar, and questioned as to what they hart
to say in their defence. The whole of the prisoners di-
ehard their innocence, denying all knowledge of the
transaction.—Mr. BICKNELL intimated to them, ih it
they were involved in strong suspicion, but in the ab•
sence of evidence, the produciimi of which they had su-
•icipated, they would he discharged for the present.—
The pri%oners then quitted the place, a:id proceeded in
the 'iliac ion of London across Greenwich clinrcb-yir I.
Fteili bills have been neutral, with rewards offered hir
the discovery of the murderers.

A sharking accident happened about two o'clock yester-
day, in the Crescent, Bridge-street Blackfriars, owing to
the disgraceful practice of alowing women servants to cle
the outside of windows : a young woman fell into the street
from a considerable height, and was taken up in a won
dreadful state.
