MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Thursday afternoon, about two o'clock, as some boys were playing at Bankside they discovered something floating near the Surrey shore, a little above Southwark-bridge: which proved to be the body of a young woman, with a child in her ams. Information was immediately forwarded to the police, and the bodies on being landed, being found to be quite lifeless, they were, by direction of iergeant Golding, 7 M, conveyed to the dead ho use of the parish of St. Saviour's. In addition to the child being clasped in the arms of the deceased young woman, they were found to be fastened together by a str( ing cord tied round each of their waists. They w ere both respectably attired, the young woman being about twenty-two years of age, and the child about six months. On the pockets of the former being searched, a paper was found with the words " Jane Papson, 15, New-street, Cloth-fair," written thereon ; and application being made at that address the bodies vi .ere identified. The persons in the house, however, knewvery little of her history. She had come there to live a very short time since, and they understood from her she .had not long since left service, in consequence of bein g a mother. She had not been seen at home since IN ednesday afternoon. On her table were found two lett. 3rs, one addressed to her father, at Folkstone, and the ot her to a young man, who is supposed to be the father of the deceased's child, both of which are written in such tei ms as to leave no doubt that the deceased left home for the purpose of destroying her life and that of her offspring, and stating that by the time they were opened she should be no more. No money was found upon her, and it is supposed that poverty was one of the incentives to l`e rash act.
