MURDER IN GENT'S-PARK  FREDERICK-STREET, RE%., FIVE YEARS AGO.  From Yesterday's Times.)  Many strange and very contradictory statements being current relative to a clue hating at length been obtained which,  as alleged, Will, in all probability, have the effect of causing the speedy capture of the murderer of Eliza Davis, who was barmaid to Mr. Wadley, landlord of the King's Arms, Frederick-street, Regent's-park, our reporter has instituted a most diligent inquiry as to what has recently really taken place relative to this dreadful affair, and the result is as follows:  It a , 'Veers that a few nights since, at a quarter before 12 Ot clock, Mr. Wadley had closed his shutters, and was about o fasten hisnoadoot,r when a middle-aged man, attired in a black frock the house and politely figured waistcoat, and light trousers, entered hot rum and water; ii requested to be served with a glass of of a small e manner of was supplied with it, and after partakingincoherent and strange portion commenced talking in a somewhat Jane Jones at Roeha the late dreadful murder of observed, that admit?in`m,and in the course of his remarks Good had killed the woman, he did not think much the worse of him for that ; after a brief silence, he asked Mr. Wadley he was not in that place where Eliza Davis was murdered, and on his being replied to in the affirmative, he made some observations which were not clearly intelligible, with regard to to the blood found on supposed to have been the door (alluding to the fingerhis egress from the '- thereon by the murderer in making who., at the period es) and wished to know if Wilcox was potman) was perpetration of the diabolical deed thatn he was still landlordversation was he was told that he was, and also ,wann and the 'Mr. Wadley's) service. While this co in there was no one in the bar but the who was drinking as above referred to bed at half-past 11. It will be borne in mind that in so strongly suspected of having committed the modeller of plaster, and that from his frequent avring's Arms for months prior to the discovery of transaction his person was well known to WilWadley was also of opinion that he should be im at any future period should he chance to meet with Miro. The man made some further remarks upon Good, and then asked Mr. Wadley if he thought he should know the individual who he imagined had cut the barmaid's throat ? to which he (Mr. Wadley) replied (looking him steadily in the face) " Yes, I think I should, and you 're as great deal like him youself." He seemed rather confused and offended at this remark, and having finished his rum and water, quitted the premises with some abruptness ; this was at half-past 12 o'clock. Mr. Wadley then spoke to a constable on duty near the spot, requesting him to keep a sharp look out, at the same time stating that the man (giving a description of him) who had just left the house was, to the best of his (Mr. Wadley's) belief, the murderer of Eliza Davis. On the following day Inspector Aggs, of the S division, m nnreceived information of what had occurred, and, after timmeu'nicatin g with Mr. Wadley upon the subject, lost no in exerting himself to the utmost, with the view of capturing, if possible, the supposedguilt person, but as yet nothing more has been heard respecting him. It is much lr to be regretted that Wadley dick not act with more promptitude and judgment 11? the matter, by detaining the suspected man upon his mis until he had called in a policeman, in which case suchP other steps might have been taken as would have had the effect of setting at rest the question as to whether his suspicions were well grounded or otherwise. Aggs, who is acquainted with the whole of the facts connected with the horrid murder, is still actively engaged in following up his inquiries relative to the mysterious affair.  the appallin and M  ) indentify
