WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1857. NO. 1,490. -A MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN LONDON. of its own kind alone, and we devoutly trust For Rent and Sale. etown Advertisements. [From the London Times, Oct. 4], From vestiges of the most imperfect charac- ter, and by inferences of the acutest kind. it seems placed beyond doubt that a dread{ul unurder has disgraced our metropolis, but whether the deed can be brought home to its perpetrators, or whether it will be buried in the obscurity which at present envelops it. is a question yet remaining to be determined. We ean only hope that where, under such diffieult conditions of diseovery. so much has been brought to light, the rest will not be perma- nently hidden. On Friday last, in the gray of early morning, some lads rowing up the river observed a bun- die resting on one of the abutments of Waterloo bridge fe proved to be a carpet bag, locked and corded, with a considerable portion of the cord hanging down into the water. The boys carried off what they believed to be a prize; but when the bag was opened it was found to con- tain the mutilated fragments of a human body. Twenty picces of what had recently been a liv- ing creature were exposed to view, with every incident of horror. Limbs had been sawed into bits, flesh had been hacked from the bones, the trunk bad been disemboweled, and the head was wanting. So complete had been the com- minutton of the corpse, and the obliteration of ali external features of humanity, that it was enly by indirect conclusions that even the sex could be established; and yet from these and almost inscrutable data a story of some cohe- rence hes already been framed. The bag contained, beside these portions of the body, a complete suit of apparel—coat, sur- tout, waistsoat, trowsers, drawers, socks, shirt. and undershirt—the hat and shocs along being not for-heoming. No mark or other means oi i id be diseovered on any of these articles; but they were pierced in various places, as if with a sharp knife or dagger, and they had all been ripped up the back—the overcoat as well as the rest—apparently while on the person. The front parts of the dress. too, especially. were found saturated with blood. The fragments of the body itself seemed at first to promise litile testimony, but under a scientific scrutiny they yielded enough to estat- lish the certainty of crime. A portion of the chest showed a distinct stab or hole, corres- ponding precisely in position and direction with one of the euts found in the clothes. and it was proved by the evidence of the divisional surgeon of police that this wound must of ne- cessity have been inflicted during life. The testimony to this important point was positive, clear and sufficing. With equal success was it established that the remains could not repre- sent the relics of any subject employed for pur- poses of anatomy. Not a single trace was found of the dissecting knife. --A medical man,’ said Mr. Paynter in his evidence, must have wanted a body either for the mus- cles, nerves, arteries, or bones. The muscles. nerves and arttries, I can positively assert, have not been dissected, pelle the bones have been destroyed.” The deduction drawn from the appearance of the fragments extended a little further. The state of the joints showed that the right thigh must have stiffened com- pletely at right angles with the rest of the body. and the right arm had also stiffened with the forearm under, and pointing im the direc- tion of the trunk. It had been observed from the first that the body had been salted or soaked in brine to preserve it. but a certain portion had escaped the action of the antisep- tic. and it is judged from this that death must have occurred upward of a week before the discovery of the remains. The cuts in the shirts exceeded in number those found upon the body, but this discrepancy was explained by the evidence that the portions of the body which might have displayed these particular wounds were among those which were missing To this evidence certain additions have been derived from other sourecs. Thectothes found in the bag appeared to be of foreign make, the socks having been pronounced to be undoubt- edly of German manufacture, and the shirt collar was obvious!y intended to be worn turned down over the neck-tie, from which circum- stance it is reasonably inferred that the de- ceased person was not a native of this country. Here, up to the present time, terminates what may be called the internal evidence of the ease ; by one incident only are we brought inte contact for @ moment with those prob: nizant of thecrime. It happened that per on duty at Waterloo Bridge on ¥ evening took especial notice of a wo- apparel, who had passed the Strand side with a carpet-bag in her hand. This bag he assisted her to lift over the toll-stile. and ob- served its pattern so particularly as to be able to identify the articie, to the best of his belief, with that in which the romains were found He tkel that the woman appeared agi- tated, and so much in a hurry that he imagined she was hastening to catch a train at the Wa- terloo station. Her voice was decidedly m culine, but she scemed only about five f three inches in height. To the best of his re- membrance she did not coms off the bridge again. She passed about 114 Such are the features. as at present discern- ible, of this most horrifying case By the aid ofa little latitude of interpretation ‘and con- jecture an approximation has been made to the supposed particulars of the crime. That the deceased was murdered with his clothes on, in- cluding his overcoat, appears plain, and it is supposed. from the saturation of all the front portions of his apparel with blood, that he lay dead on his face. In this position—the posi- tion immediately resulting from the murder— it is conceived that the body stiffened, and that it was found necessary to rip the clothes all up the back before they could be removed from the rigid limbs. To prevent the decomposition of the corpxe pending the further proceedings, recourse would be had to the process of silting; and at length, when the work of mutilation bad been completed, it was attempted to dispose of the remains by dropping them into the r ver at the end of a rupe, so as to avoid a splash. Such is the manner in which the outlines supplied Ly direct testimony have been filled up = in- ference or surmise, and though the conelusions may, ofcourse, be erroneous, it is impossible te overlook the detection to which guilt has be- come liable through one or two fertuitous cir- @ .wstances Had another bridge been selected instead of Waterloo Bridge by the bearer of the bag. there would have been no tull-taker to depose to the overt act in this dark transaction, and the fact points to the probability of the scene of the crime having lain in the vicinity. Had the bag, again, not lodged on the abutment of the bridge, instead of falling into the water, the rtions of the body which it contained might Ee disappeared, like the rest, aud every ves- tige of the crime have been lost_ There is one incident connected with this in- vestigation which is suggestive of rather alarm- ing conelusions. and to which it is desirable, we think, that attention should be drawn. No Sooner was it known in the metropolis. that a bedy bad been diseovered, admitting pos- sibly of some identification, than application was made by a succession of persons—eight or nine, we are assured in number—each of whom within the last month bad lost sight of some relative or friend for whose disappearance no reason could be assigned. It would be dreadful to think that heinous guilt could pre- vail among us undiscovered; nor are we, in- deed, of opinion that any such conclusion need be accepted. Ina population approaching to three millions it is natural enough that in- stances of eccentricity or accident should re- move individuals now and then from the cogni- gance of their friends, while the foreign ex- traction apparently attributable to the victim on this occasion tends of itself possibly to with- draw the case from the category of ordinary crimes. (n the whole, though it is certainly mot agreeable to think that in the present day Persons can disappear unaccountably in the metropulis of Britain, we are not disposed to he'ieve that such occurrences need be connected with secret outrage or undetected crime. The present ex ela ih Ngo action ie SESS Ste bal a re a ates | ly she knelt down by her mother 6 ic, we feel assured, is an example that before many days have elapsed we may experience the satisfaction of announcing that justice is on the traok of the guilty.

This is one of the valgar s difficult to dislodge from the ordinary in. The fact is, that the condensed aic of a crowded room gives a deposit, which, if allowed to remain a few days, torms a solid, thick glutinous mass, having a strong odor of animal matter. If examined by the microscope, it is scen to undergoa remarkable change. Virst of a this lowed by the production of multitudes of animaleules—decisive proof that it must con- tain certain organic matter, otherwise it could not nourish organic beings. A writer in “Dick- ens’ Household Words,’ m remarking upon this subject, says that this was the result arrived at by Dr. Angus Smith, in his beautiful ex- | hme on the air and water of towns, wherein he showed bow the lungs and skin gave out or- ganic matter, which is, in itself, a deadly poi- eon, producing headache, sickness, disease or epidemic, according to its strength. Why, if a few drops of the liquid matter, obtained by the condensation of the air of a foul locality, intro- duced into the vain of a dog. ean produce death by the usual phenomena of typhus fever, what incalculable evils must not it produce on those human beings who breathe it again and again, rendered fouler and less capable of sustaining life with every breath drawn! Such contami- nation of the air, and consequent hot-bed of fever and epidemic, it is easily within the power of man toremove. Ventilation and cleanliness will do all, so far as the abolition of this evil goes; and ventilation and cleanliness are uot miracles to be prayed for, but certain results of common obedience to the laws of God. oeireereniarininieanmsiaea ape Axtopatuic Joxe.—Will you be angry if I tell you of a curious instance of the power of fancy in relation to your globules? One of the ithfa on a certain night, had taken two globules instead of one ; perhaps three! Alas! what was to be done in a case so imminent? The unhappy man lived in a smal! town near Edinburg. in whose benighted precincts no homeepathic practitioner was to be found, and in desperation deigned toconsult an allopathic doctor, whom, in a tremor, he called up, to know whether he could do anythiag for him The mystic tube was placed in the doctors hands. The ignorant doctor looked at the globules in despair. At length he poured a dozen or two into his palm, and said, “M fr'end, I cannot save you but I can die with you!” He swallowed them; and, nothing coming of it, the patient took heart of grace, d-pirted in peace, slept s: ep and was eured of his nervous fancies and his dread of the despotic globules at the same moment. & # Little Carrie Perkins was a great pet of mine; indeed she was the sunbeam of the house. She was only three years old, but she had a strangely mature way of talking sometimes, that made her seem very interesting. Every night I went regularly to her room for a good night kiss ; and I shall never forget how sweet- ide and said “Our Father.’’ nor how reverently she used to fold her little hands at the close and say: ~ Good night, dear God, and please take goud care of little Carrie.”” “ Why, Carrie,’ said her mother the first time she added this to her prayer, ** you should not talk to God so.” “Shouldn't L?"’ said the little prattler, “ I love God and why shouldn’t [ say nightto flim before Igo to sleep, just as Ido to youand Aunt Annie?
