PARIS, SxrT. 10. Yesterday morning I again took an opportunity cf mitinc the Exhibition to ascertain how far gigantic enterprise continues to maintain the in terest it has eicited. At 8 clock on morn in; I risited almost all the gates by which the public enter, and everywhere I found crowd at thi early hour waiting for admission. At all the ecirances there had been formed that qwut of which I hare so frequently had occasion to speak, which is a French national strategic institution, but one.

which foreigners readily adopt and become, accus tomed to. As soon as on any occasion a number cf persons congregate to enter any place of attrac tion priority of amral is recognixed by the crowd itself. Those first on, the spot place; themselves in a row without the slightest confusion, and each cne enter at the proper time by his riht of rrimtv. This popular French strategy will produce its impression "on foreign v.isitors.who will Uie home with them the remembrance of it. The of 1SSD, should it produce no other rtuit, may lead to the'1 adoption of the automatic curur, which is formed without the in terventicn of doorkeeper or policeman, and which cperatc with the regularity of clockwork.

I was present this morning and saw the qveuei in full nd tranquil When I got inside at 3 o'clock, I was surprised to find what wa really a crowd already within the Exhibition ground, and spread over the whole space. It was, however, to the Eiffel Tower 'that the current was chiefly Swarms of travellers were pouring in to ascend to the successive platforms, and at half pist 9, on getting to the: last stage, I discovered that circulation had already become difficult, From the highest point of the tower I could see the swarming ants below crowding the grounds and thousands waiting at the, doors leading to the lifts. The sight how it ia that the directors are about to distribute the fourth million cf the earnings among their shareholders. It will be interesting to know if the, desire to climb the tower will continue when the Exhibi tion comes to a close. The work of preparation for the end has already so far advanced that the juries who award the prizes hare completed tht ir task.

Following the advice given to them by M. Tirard, they have, shown themselves as liberal as possible, above all towards foreigners. As gold xsedals are not to be struck, which would involve a great expense, and. as diplomas only are to bo dis' tributed, it has been possible to bo very liberal without ruining the Treasury. In this way a series of exhibitors will receive a recompense and will not return home empty handed.

It was thought that, as the Governments stood aloof from this competition and the exhibitors took part in it xt their own risk, it was necessary to show them 'some gratitude and to allot them recompense as an expression of the feeling. V) The as has already been said, is no locger thought The Exhibition is now simply an exhibition. The last days have shown that although not a direct and powerful propaganda lot thq present Government, the Exhibition has given it in the eyes of the world an incontestabi prestige. Even the French people are led to think that a real Government is at their head. the tradesmen and citizens of Paris have been mating a golden harvest, and as the Exhibi tion will still be in full effulgence during the eJf ction, those who interfere with it will vigorously with the approval of the population.

Moreover, the Jitt aro not at an end On Wednesday at the Palais de l'lndustrie, in th atre which has nci parallel, in the presence of some spectators with 1,200 performers, there is to bo" sung an ode entitled The Triumph of the Madame Augusta Holmer, an Irish lady, has composed' thp music and written the words, which are said to bo very fine. This ode ui do penormea inree uracs gratis on invita tion. After that there will commence what are called the American the JHtt of the Sister Republic," an expression which seemed stranro in the mouth of Mr. Gladstone in his speech of Saturday. These Jilt will be continued up to the time of the election.

Everything will lo done, by the gaiety, the charm, and the splendour of tho Ex bibition, to make the continuance of the Republic desirable in the eyes of France. I believe these tSorts will provo successful, in splto of all that is said to the contrary, that the election wiU consolidate and not shako or unsettle the ItetmUic. A correspondent of the Traps this morning had interview with MM. Verger and Alphand on the subject of the prolongation of the Exhibition. Both stated that they had resolved to adhere to the 31it of October as the extrctno limit to which it will be lrpt open.

Alphand explained some of the reasons for this resolution being taken, lie aid In tha flrat nlasw' thti Exhibition, which has hd such extraordinary success yesterday it had gain upwards of 200,000 Tiitor should be cloaed. while it full ucces continue. It is only in thi way that it will preerr4t great character. The now and rain mast be allowed to come and drive away visitors in the ttonth of November so that the Exhibition may onaUawl AmA ML In nnMio estimation. A aeeond reason, which i Dot with out importance and which is more palpable, hti dictated our decision, ice exm tutors, accoramE to tho regulations accepted on both sides and till tn Iee, are not under any ooiigauon to present after the 31st of October.

Several have engagement elsewhere whleh, after that date, would compel in em to leave tne ue jiaia. it would, in conseouence. oe necessary uui should ancover the railway, which remain under the floor of most of the callerie. It would also be necessary to replace tba railway through the garden by which the heavy object were brought, ami that at a time when the ground would be covered with mud. We think that impossible, as the Lxhibiuon would lose too much.

FRANCE. PARIS. SxrT. 10 The sentence pronounced br default arainst 31. Mertneix, the manager of the Houlangist pIcr the Cocardt, has been confirmed, and he is condemned to four months' imprisonment and a fine of SOOf.

There are! curious 'incidents connected with this sc. The telegram on which to a great extent the Igment jproceoded. was addressed by the accused General Boulanger. It said We have bought the papers I of tho High Court and wo are going to publish them." Now it appears from the evidenco that thes papers we're not bought. They wero brought gratuitously to the office of the Cocrd by a man who remains unknown.

It also ppears that a gratuity of promised to the correspondent who servecl as intermediary between the who offered the papers gratuitously and tho manager, never has been paid. The question is accordihclv tnit fc Whv did M. Mermeix tele graph to General Biulangcr, We have bought a number of 'documents," when he might havo said 4 A number of documents havo been gwen to us, which was the caio What interest could M. Mermeix have in sending that telegram, which was tho principal cause) of his condemnation There would have been more merit in obtaining the pa pcrs gratis, and ho would have flattered tho General more by telling him that ono of his sup porters was fanatical enough to purloin the papers nd offer them for nothing. Then he would have supplied no ground! of condemnation against him elf.

However, as MJ Mermeix pays for his inadvert ency by four monthi' imprisonment, and it weuld be wrong, to blame him for it. Now that is victim of his disinterested devotion to the IVm langist cause, the Hectors of Paris will doubtless undertake to mako him one of their representatives in the future Chamber, the mission of which is to render the! Government of Franco more honest and respectable. His titlo to a plaee in it is now clear, The Conservative Committee of the Seine have addressed, an appeal to the. Conservatives of the Department, drawn up by M. Ferdinand Duval The part deals' with the work by the Chamber elected in 1833, which has di regarded tho rights of the Conservatives, violated the dearest liberties, consciences, compromised interests, usurped Tho appeal next tells, the electors they must not stand aloof from the electoral struggle, but do what they can to prevent the return of the present political pcrsonnit, and to put an end to tha present methods' of government.

In conclusion the follow. lng.advico is given to the electors Wherever a Conservative candidate presents united Ito secure his success. Do not lose Tour votes. The importance of tho interests hich are at stake leaves no room to electors for weakness or caprice. The candidates, of whom we have drawn up a' list in accord with your arrondiMOHfnt committees, are known to you.

It is in their names that on two occasions union has been brought about between you. It is in their names that it must) bo again carried out. In some quarters where the chances are less we have found men of feeling andlgood will who offer their names to maintain the struggle. In the constituencies where nb Conservative candidates come forward you will not necessarily be condemned to absten tion. The Republicans wroto some days since in one of their leading newspapers Acainst an un scrupulous enemy all allies are We shall never address sucfii Language to you.

There are names which a Conservative never would' write on his bulletin. But I if in tho constituency where you nave to vote, in the absence ot a uonservative. you find yourself I in presence of an honourable man, whose opinions differ from your own but who undertakes to respect the decisions of universal suffrage and not tolinvalidate those elected under it, you will not hesitate to cive him tout votes. Who could blame you for this The majority which is leaving Jasserts that if it returns in sufficient number ii will make us witnesses again of the scandalous spectacle of invalidations settled Who would dare to blame you for; doing what yon can to prevent this indignity 1" M. Arthur I icard, an independent Republican candidate, and de Coleville, a Boulangist candidate, for election in the Basses Al pes, hare just been sentoncea at Castellano to pay a fine of lO.OOOf.

The printer has been fined This is the first application of the law on multiple candidatures. The International Congress on accidents to wort men. which was opened yesterday, is convoked to 'discuss the' whole question of employers' liability toward their workmen, and has received very ex. tensive support.

Eleven Governments have, sent official representatives, the greater part of the Chambers of Commerce of France hive appointed delegates, and 23 societies of social economy and several municipalities aro also participating, Altogether there are 730 official delegates, mem bers, and honorary! presidents. The sittings will be held all this week at the Ecole do Droit, close to the Pantheon. The honorary members for Eng land are Sir Frederick Abel, C.B., Mr. A. Red grave, C.B., Mr.

George Findlay, Sir Dougli Galton, and Sir Polydore do Keyser, German law, which is so much in adrance of other nations in this matter, will bo explained by several delegates' from Alsace Lorraine, and notably by M. Grad, member of the Reichstag, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Switzerland aro all represented ty aoio specialists. Mgnor Luzzatti, Deputy to the Italian Parliament, Pro fessor at Padua University, was elected President of tie general and first sitting, andM. Leon Say was elected assistant president. Signor Luzzatti de livered a brief and eloquent opening address.

Th proceedings, he said, were being watched ky Socialists and by Anarchists who suspected their motives and combatted the lauwr aire doctrines It was for tho Congress by its actions to provo its disinterestedness. Tho Congress then proceeded to discuss tho report of M. Nbma Droz, Federal Councillor and chief of the Swiss Department of Foreign Affairs. Thi was an admirable summary of the' legislation of the principal countries on this subject. It urged in conclusion that it was not possible to frame any precise resolution on the question, but that the Congress should content itself with tho expression of general sympathies and tendencies.

Thus it should first recognize that there are professional or trade risis. There an undoubted desire to add to those risks the diseases caused by particular kinds of work. The compensation to be paid in all sucn case if allowed would bring about a very great change in our present social organization. compelling us to institute new rights andj new institutions such a already exist in uermany. Km me other band, such reform may cause both workmen and employers to observe less care in the prevention of accidents.

So as to know! better how to act, statistics drawn up in a uniform manner should be collected in all countries, very ono would agree on the necessity of adopting in all countries ererr known pre ventive measure to reduce the number of accident and tt appointing numerous Inspectors to see that uku umuira mim appueuv ins uangress snouia, without entering into details, areei thalt the nuuHuuni given sbouiu suiscienuy UDerai to renero effectively the distress caused by the accident, arid, finally, thit some inter national link should be established that all fght profit by tho experience acquired in the different countries. Thee conclusion met with general approbation, and the (Egress voted that thcyj should at once bo printed andj distributed to the members. To day the Congres divided itself uw, nun viwvui. iseoatca were neia on wo responsibility of employers, papers being read by lTotessor the Liege University, and M.

Sxrr. 10, Cfcming from Copenhagen the Czarewitch is to wmuiiuw sir jviui, nuere tie wiii nave an official reception and bo lodged in the Royal Schloss. From Kiel tho Czarewitch. with his suite, which includes two Russian officers of high rank, will travel to Hanover to follow tho forthcoming manoeuvres with the German Emnernr. who on his part, has appointed twb distinguished officers to do honorary waiting oh his Imperial guest.

While in Germany tho Czarewitch will naturally wear the uniform of his Westphalia Hussar regiment, which is to tako part in the manoeuvres. It has been said that tho present coming of tho Czarewitch to Germany ia merely a consequenco of the invitation lof tho German Emperor which tho Russian Heir Apparent accepted last year at Fete'rhof, nd thatj therefore, it has no direct connexion with tho expected return visit of his Imperial father. But at thelsamo timo it may well bo recorded as an event that will, so to speak, tend to break the ice which seemingly renders the passage between St. Petersburg and Berlin somewhat difficult. Tho Czarewitch is to bo treated inthecampof the German Emperor with what the French would call most distin cuished consideration." and thus the studied attentions which are shown to the son will servo to mollify the heart of tho Czar arid incline him perhaps, to pay his debt of courtesy here with all the more hasto and semblance of cor diality.

xesiaes, nis mienuons in inis respect are likely to be influenced for good by the Empress Frederick, who, with her three daughters to repair to Copenhagen early next week It would seem that the chief object of thi visit is a desire on the part bf tho Empress Frederick to introduce her daughter Princess Sophie to tho Danish Court before her marriage with the son of one of its members, but in anr case her Majesty will have anj opportunity of meeting the Czar. Oh the other hand, the Port hoars that, in order to sparo susceptibilities, the Dowager Empress will avoid seeing the Duches of Cumberland, as otherwise Tumour would be sure to connect her Majesty's name with intrigues, on behalf of the disinherited heir of Hanover and Brunswick. On hor way to Copen hagon the Empress will spend next Sunday at Potsdam, that being the birthday of her deceased boy Prince Sigisround, who is buried in the Friedenskirche. When tho German Imperial party will leave for Athens is not yet quite settled, but i telegram tonight from Kiel tells us that the ironclad corvette Irene, Captain Prince Henry of Prussia, left that port to day for Genoa, whither it has no doubt been sent in order to carry Princess Sophie and her escorting relatives to the rirxus.

10. Tho Emperor of Anstzi arrived early thi morning at Leitomischl for the Bohemian manoeuvres. The town was gaily decorated, and his Majesty had, aa usual, a very hearty reception. Special interest attaches to this year' manoeuvres, as they afford the first opportunity of witnessing a sham tight between large bodies of troops armed with the repeating riSe. There will be engaged on both side in all 75 battalions of infantry 32 squadrons of cavalry, and 30 batteries.

The general idea is that the Northern Army advances trom the neighbourhood of Kolin, and the Southern Army from Iglau, in Moravia. The former has pushed forward an army corps towards Hohen mautn for the protection of its left flank with the order to throw back the forces of the enemy, who as proceeded to occupy with an array corps the terrain between Zwittau and Trubau. All the foreign military attaches arrive at Leitomischl morrow.

The disclaimer of tho Radical committee at Belgrade with regard to the Servian armaments has been followed up by a circular of General Gruitch, addressed to the Servian Ministers abroad, and authorizing them to offer an explana tion wherever and whenever it may bo necessary. The' circular states that tho two classes of (ho Reserves have been called in for the usual terms! of activo servico in accordance with the existing military laws, and that they will again bo dismissed at tho expiration of 15 and 30 days respectively. The Minister of Foreign Affairs adds that tho Government is most anxious to devoto its whole energy to tho economic regeneration of the country. The Servian Minister at. lenna has not yet communicated this circular to uount nawoxy, but proposes to do so at a suitable time.

Dr. Dokitch. the tutor of King Alexander and M. do Russian Minister at Belgrade, arrived at Carlsbad yesterday morning and had a long conference with King Milan in the afternoon. They originally intended to stay three days, but they srmaeniy reiurnea to xwigTaae mis evening.

The journey was to ascertain the ex King wishes with regard to tho meeting between his son and the Queen mother at Belgrade. I It had to be settled where, mother and son were to meet, whether at tho Palace or the Queen's residence, and how many visits wero to bo allowed. Jn some quarters it is. believed that Dr. Dokitch received instructions at Carlsbad to try to come to an understanding with tho Queen as to her future visits to her son, but it is moro than doubtful whether her Majesty will agree to any conditions whatever.

ANOTHER MURDER AND MUTILA TION IN WlilTECHAPEll Early yesterday mominir a di scot err was mada which leads to the belief that another horribl) murder has been committed in Whitechapel, and that the Tictia.

a woman, belong to the lame cls a the eight whoi have been murdered in the same locality during the lat two years. The manner which the body has been mat listed suggests that the outraco has been committed br the same person. About half past 5 o'clock Testerdar racminr PoUce constable Bennett, 239 wa passing ca his beat by a railway arch in Pinchin street, St. George's, when he noticed something in the arch. The place in question is used as a receptacle lor stones in tha TKstTiet TVrA of orks, and in front of iti there is a hoarding.

Part of this, however, has been broken down, and the officer, getting through it, as horrified to find the trunk tofj a woman in a condition which showed it had been hacked about in a most brutal manner. The head had been severed from the body, while both legs were also missing, and from the lower part of the stomach was a deep gash through which the bowels were protruding. In accordance) with instructions that had been given to all the police in the district, the conrtable did not move, but blew hi whistle for assistance. In a few seconds two other constables came np, and on being made acquainted with the discovery, started for King David lane Folice station, when further assistance wa sent to Pinchin street, and the news telegraphed to the heads of police and to the whole ot the stations within the metropolitan district. In order to save as much time as possible an order has far' some time past been in force tht whenever a murder is discovered in the East end the telegraphic code should simply bo Another Whitechapel." Consequently, as soon as these two words were telegVaphed over the district every outlet in the immediate neighbourhood was blocked.

Superintendent T. Arnold and Detective Inspector Reid, Division, were soon on the spot giving directions for the place to be searched, while the Thames police, under Detective InspectorInspector Regan, were busily engaged in searching the vessels in the river and docks, notably the cattle boats. While the constable was standing by the bodjr ho heard a noise inside the arch, and three working men came out, saying they were homeless ana had been in there to have a sleep. They stated that when they entered the arch after midnight they saw nothing of the body and heard no alarming or suspicious sounds during the night. These men were detained and afterwards conreyed to the Leman street Police station, until proper inquiries could be made concerning them.

Dr. Clarke, who is acting for Dr. Phillips, the divisional surgeon, who was away on his holidays, together with Dr. Sargeant. who practises in the neighbourhood, was soon at the spot and minutely examined the body.

They wero of opinion that death had occurred at least throe day nroviouslv. as the blood wa all dried and signs of decora position were setting in. Other details having been obtained, a police ambulance was brought and the trunk of the body conveyed on it to the StGeorge's mortuary, where the doctors again examined it. The result of that examination was that the police afterwards issued the following notice Found, at 5 40 this morning, the trunk of a woman under railway arches in Pinchin street, Whitechapel. Age about 40 height, 6ft; 3in.

hair, dark brown no clothing, except chemise, which is much torn' and bloodstained both elbows discoloured as from habitually leaninc on them. Pott martm nul apparently of a rope having been tied round the waist. Dr. Sargeant was heard to say that the head had been cut off in a very skilful manner. The medical men were also of opinion that the cuts were inflicted by a left handed person, whiehfactppints to the murderer being the same person who killed the eight'other poor creatures, as in each instance the' cuts are supposed to have been the work of a leu handed person, irom the appearance of the breasts it is believed the woman had not borne children.

Within half an hour of the discovery of the trunk Mr. Monro, Chief Commissioner of Police, arid Colonel Monsell. Assistant Commissioner. visited the spot and personally directed the move ments ot tne detective omcers, who were then busily engaged in making inquiries under the direction of Detective Inspector Swansea, of Scot land yara. inis officer is well htted for tho task given him, as he is an old East ender," and, consequently, is well acquainted with tho locality.

Later in tho day Dr. Clarke, assisted by Dr. Hibbett, Dr. Sergeant, Dr. Appleford, and others, made a mortem examination, the result of which will not bo made known until tho inquest, which will be held at the Vestry hall, StiGcorge's, this morning, by Mr.

Wynne E. Baxter. Within a few minutes of the discovery the front of the. arch, and, in fact, the whole of I inchin street. was crowded with hundreds' of persons, and tho excitement was intense.

Indeed, it was growing during tho whole of vestcrdav. and the discovery was almost the sole topic of conver sation amongst those living in tho end. The spot where the body was found is at night time a very lonely one, and is only fre quented by tho poorest class, who seek refuge under some of the many railway arches which abound in the district. Carts and burrows siana against ue wans, inere is only one exit to the place, and that is by way of Back church lane. The police are confident that the trunk had only been conveyed to the spot shortly before it was found and they are making' strenuous endeavours to find the missing portions, which they aro inclined to think have also been con cealed in the immediate neighbourhood.

They also believe that the spot wbero the murder was committed, or where the body was dismembered, would be in a bad condition through the flowing ef blood, and these facts might serve to'supply some ciue 10 uie piace. rosa the later examination made by the doctors it is 'believed that the trunk belonged to a woman of slim build, and that she had been ia a' somewhat neglected condition. The organs also indicate that the deceased woman had been addicted to drink. The difficulty in identifying uie remains is obvious, owing to ue aosence of the head. There are no marks on the finger of any rings having been worn, and is eviuent una latest victim oeiongoa to the coorest class of women.

Tha banrla presented a dirty and neglected appearance but. as far as could be ascertained at the first cursory examination, there were no birthmarks by which the body could be identified. Large numbers of women nave applied to the constable in charge of the remains at the mortuary for permission to view them, but their requests have been refused, aa it was not possible for them to say to whom the trunk belonged. The legs had undoubtedly been severed with some sharp instrument, and in sucn a manner as to indicate a knowledge of surgerr butchery. The hands wero not clenched, a fact which seemed to snow that the deceased woman had not been struggling before her death.

The left arm was bent, and the fingers of the left hand reposed on the chest, while the right arm was more'extended. These fact point to the probability that the amputation took plaee after death. The deep gash above referred to was the only kind of mutilation about the body, with the exception of the removal of a small portion of the lower part of the' trunk. The fingers are long and tapering. The police, after full investigation, give it as their opinion that tbe murder, if such it be.

was not done hythe person now known as Jack the Ripper." They incline to the belief that th deceased may have died from an illegal operation, and that the body wa afterwards cut np so a to more easily be disposed of, with the view to preventing discovery. They wish thi fact to be made known, a by that mean i.uthing might be learned to elucidate the mystery. The police also believe that the bodr eonld not have been brought far, as, owing to the bad odour arising from it, the carrier of the burden would have teen noticed and probably stopped. They are therefore making a house to house search in tne neighbouring and surrounding streets where the body was found. Under the arch there is so blood, and this fact confirm the theory that the body was carried there after it had been mutilated.

Amongst the poor living near tho spot there i a report current that a woman named Hart, who. is well bsrwn a a Jilpated creature, has) been mitsicg for i ii three or four days. That poBee are ituBiiff strenuou endeavour to find the whermbovli of thi woman. At tfce same time it fetoi common this for women of her 4m toi themselves from their refakr titntt fee day togeuer. ineyeome and as tgcwua them.

The woman whose mutilated body was found! yesterday morning. Yesterday afternoon the officers of the Criminal. investigation made a further rami and yards in close proximity, but were unable. to discover anything fresh. There are no signs of the body having been dragged along the ground and it is conjectured that someone carried it to thai outside of the place where it was discovered, gott rid of his load by dropping it over the hoarding and at once made good his escape.

All the police omcers on duty in the district st the time; state they saw no one carrying a bundle, neither did they see any one drawing or driving a vehicle! ot any sand in waicn the Body might nave beenj concealed. The excitement was still very great in the Eaat i end last night, and the feeling of terror that! existed until a few weeks since has revived with renewed force. Extra detective officers have again been drafted into the district and during thel evening some thousands of persons visited Pin 4 chin street, and viewed the front of the archj where the body wa found, before which are stsH tioned two police officers. It i believed the Coroner will only take sufficient evidence te justify him in adjourning' the inquiry, so as to give the police an opportunity of. finding the missing portion of the body.

A news agency say The cleanness of tbe cuts and the knowledge of surgery displayed im dissecting the body would suggest that this icrirao, is not the work, of Jack the Kipper. He did alt his terrible work firmly, but without any approach: to scientific knowledge. The present crimp bears a closer resemblance to the mvsterioas outrages: at Rainbam, on the Thames Embankment near Whitehall, and at Batteries than to the terrible deeds of the Ripper. In each of the foregoing cases the heads were missing and the manner of mutilation was very similar, it is most probable that the murderer took advantage ot the scare produced by tbe Ripper tragedies to dispose of his victim in a way and in such a place as should throw all suspicion upon that unknown person. A conference, to.

wnicn it 1 believed considerable importance's attached, took place last even ing at the le man street 1 ouce station. IJr. Phillips arrived in London about 5 p.m. yesterday, and, after making some preliminary investigations, attended at Leman street Police station soon after 6 o'clock. Here he met Chief Constable Colonel Monsell.

Mr. Arnold, and the officers from Scotland yard. At 7 p.m.. Mr. Monro, the Chief Commissioner, arrived at the station in his private carriago.

and joined in the which continued until nearly half past 8 o'clock. The police at Arbour square Station! have detained a seafaring man on suspicion, but no importance is attached to his arrest. Last week a letter was found at the rear of the East London Hospital, Announcing the intention of the writer to perpetrate another murder immediately. The letter was handed to the police, but no importance was attached to it in view of the number of such document which have found their way into the hands of the authorities. Last night another letter was found in Whitechapel, containing the following words I told you last week I would do another The writing of the documents has been compared, but the result is not yet known.

It is a somewhat remarkable fact that one' of the Whitechapel murders of last year took place on September 8. Consequently the present I crime mutt have been perpetrated at a time 'only few. hours removed from the exact anniversary of a previous atrocity. Scotch newspapers of August 31 giro the fol lowing account of a discovery of human remains in Edinburgh While one of the cleaners of the Union Canal, named Thomas Clark, was engaged in taking refuse from the canal near FountainFountain bridge, he was horrified on bringing to the tunace tne lett leg oi a numan being. The leg wa not very much decomposed, and anDeared to have been sawn off below the knee.
