TIIN I.' LA EsTow AtunDER.  On Friday last Dr. Cannel, the minister of the Gcrin tn Lutheran Ch ere') in A lie-street, Good imin's Fields, a tenaed Muller to the scaffold, WaS stint for by Mr Strin:eer, the Governor of Ilford Gaol, at the prisener Kohl's special leeriest. The rev. eentleman attended, and was in communication with the prisoner for about an hour. The prisoner has also been visited by the Prussian Ambassador, who stat al to the prison authori!ies after the interviow that the prisoner was not a Prussian subject, but pronounced him to he an Hanoverian. The papers relating o the prisoner 119 W in the bands of the p thee, weal it, however, seem to p int. to a diffieent conclusion. No Legal Pt election Society has yet taken any steps to provide for the prisaner's defence. A fresh point of interest has started up in cennection with the white handled knife picked op on the reeds the day after the body was covered, and with which it is s ed.dit to establish that the head of th twin-hared man was digsevereti four days after the murder. It is stated that the knife was missed from the place where the prisoner was employed a.s horsekeeper„ and will be identified by the butcher who employed him, and who is also a German, as one that was lost while Kohl was in his service. Kahl left his work about August last an-I obtained employment in a sugar bakery at Plaistow, which he left for some unknown reason. Be married about -six week since, and hail not done any work during that time. An internal post modem, examination of the head has been made, and in addition to the injuries apparent on the external examination there has been fouud a very extensive fracture of the left temporal bone; so extensive, indeed, is to readily admit three fingers into the cavity of the skull. The bone was found to be completely smashed. and the weation inflicting this injary must have I) en the back part of a hammer, or else a hatchet. The iejury was sufficient of itself to cause instantaneous death. The medic ii examination also shows that the head was not cut off until after the body was quite (mid. The licitly of the inutsletod mAll was retied on Wednesday last at West Ham Ceittetoy. Tim cot pie was conveyed in a hearse from the Ddml House to the Bell and Aram- Tavern, and was met itt the B.trkingroad by Inspector Nightin..ale, who had jast reeeived a me-s:tef that Dr. Lefliphy required some of deem-Isere hair for a particular purp•use. The hearse was stoppel, " mei the coffin 'having been conveyed to the Barking-riotl Police-station, Was there ripened, and he received a sufiicient quantity of the hair. The coffin was again fastened and was conveyed ti the cemetery, where it was interred. On Sunday the reed Ited where the holy awl head were found was visited hy a I,irge crowd ef persons. The spot is immediately opposite Charlton. and no wittier or more dreary place can be conceived. -The spot can be approached only by the embankment of the river, and is alteut fifteen or twenty minutes' walk from Hoy-street. The reeds are upwards f t feet in height, and prrsent al almost impenei rattle IlMis with the exception. that there are one or two narrow lanes, to which access is gained over a deep ditch by MeallA of a plank. Very often this bed is submerged, se that but for the accidental discovery of the body at the time by the lads out shooting the crime would probably never have been true 1. On Saturday, the prisaner Kohl was again brought before the magistrates at Ilford, eh irged with the murder of Fuhrhop, the young German whose headless corpse was found in Plaistow Marshes. The case has now assumed such an aspect that the Government have determine 1 to take the matter inio their own hands, and Mr Giffard, the barrister, epic tr, don their behalf to for a remand, in lit clor that he might have time to snake himself acquainted with the circumstances of the
