THE MUTILATION CA ^ E AT LEEDS . FCBXHEB PARTICULARS OF TILE " GREEhACEE "
HURDBR , On Monday evening the adjourned irquest , on the body of a female unknown , -was' held at the Court House , -before John Blackburn , E- > q . The Coroner , in opening the case , observed that He was sorrj that np to the prcBBut time nothing definite had transpired to lead to the identity of the mutilated bo 4 y of the female ; therefore at present they would be able only to compleie the evidence of the medical men , Mi . Price and Mr . T . P . Teale , -who had jointly , since the adjournment of the inquest , entered into a minute examination of the remains , and -who had come to exactly the Eame conclusion . There "would , however , also be one or two witnesses called as to the finding o the trunk : and af er they had heard this they wctdH then have to consider whether they would come to a conclusion on the subject , or whfther the more prudent eonrse would be to have a further adjournment , in order to give the fullest opportunity for procuring such additional evidence as conld be obtained .
The Coroner then read the following statement , which bad been drawn up jointly by Mr . Price and Mr . T . P . Teale : — The portion of the body submitted to our inspection included the fifth cervical vert-.-braB , and the fourth lnmbar , with the intermediate parts , measuring in length eighteen inches and a haU , or from the spinoua process of the fifth cervical to that of the fouth lumbar vertebize seventeen inches , and around the chest immediately below ihe armpits , tbiriy inches . The head bad been attached between the fourth and fifth cervical vertibiie , and the lower extremities with the pelvis , between the fouith aud nftb lumbar verttibi » . Tlic- right arm had been removed bj cutting throngh the shoulder-joint ; the left arm by sawing through a portion of the scapula , or blade bone . The uoue in which the ltft arm had been separated showed taut it had been done by a person ignorant of anatomy .
its "whole of ins front surface of the bo . y was black , and presented a bnrnt or charred appearance the akin of tins part being entirely destroyed . ' Eith of the breasts measured three inches and a half in l ^ n ^ th , two inches aud a ha . if in fcre&utb , and oce and a quarter in thickness . They were Ueprived of their skin by burning . Their Bnbsianeb appeared to be much condensed by the sctionof fire ; conutquentiy they ¦» cre smaller than in their natural state . Jnnix glandular structure was distinct
Three openings were observed m the front part of the chev ., which had been produced by great violCnce . At these uptiiinga the ribs were broken into se-veral fragments . The fractures implicated the fourth , fitdi , and irxiii ribs on the right , and the second , third , and f . ur : h , and the sixth , seventh , and eighth , on the left side . No extravasattd blood nor tcagulum could be detected in the ttxtures surrounding the broken bones , nor was there any coagulum lodged in the pleural cavities . The lungs at the parts corresponding to these openings were charred to a small extent .
Tne anterior edge of the liver was burnt , and the intestines were extensively charred and mutilated . The pectoral and the abdominal muscles were burnt to a cinder . The broken ends of the ribs and the sternum were brown from the agency of fire . The divided muscles of the neck , the trachea , and the thyroid gland were black and hardened by fire . The divided border of the abomiual muscles was burnt to a cinder ; but the muscles divided in the separation of the arms did net appear to have undergone the agency of fire . The akin of the back was firm and leathery in appearance , and a little browner ih-m natural , and only at ths rides did it appear blackened byflre . On removing the akin the muscles of the back were seen distinct in structure , pale-coloured , ¦ oft , unctuous to tie touch , but not putrid .
The lnngs , with the exception of a alight adhesion of the pleura on the right aide , appeared perfectly healthy They exhibited the natural degree of crepitation on handling , but no blood escaped on dividing them with the knife . The heart was small and flaccid . Its muscular structure pale and soft like the muscles of the back . On opening its cavities , not the smallest quantity of blood noi of eoagnlum was found . The large vessels were empty . Their structure "was per f ectly distinct . The liver was rsifcer large , healthy in structure , bnt palu and Woodless .

The statement afterwards received the signatures of both the medical gentlemen , and the following additional evidence was then adduced : — Jonathan Dean—I am a digger , and reside in a cottage near where the body was found . I am in the employ of Messrs . Ftnton and Co . I was told by a boy . yesterday week , that something bad been found , and I went to
the place . I then saw what I considered to be the trunk of a human body . I said I thought it should not lay there , and that the best thing would be to bury it 1 -wtnt for a spade for that purpose , but on further consideration , I told the men who were present that they bad better tell a policeman as soon as they could . It was not in consequence of what any body said , that I determined to have nothing to do with it I did not then think that it was a body that had been murdered ; I thought it had been taken out of some churchyard . 1 generally rake the engine fire every night , and leave it . I do not think any person could come about the premises without being heard ; I have not kn « wn any
person about the premises for some months now . There : s a cabin adjoining , with a large fire place in it , but the fire there is very seldom kept in—never except for the accommodation of our own men . The door is kept fastened . I < lo not know of any woman belonging any of the families to be missing . I think the fire in the cabin has been raked within the last month . The cabin is used to keep toe ) a in , and there arc a great variety of things in it . I do not know that unything has occurred t » excite suspicion in my mind of anything being wrong . I do not know that any person has been seen in the cabin . It is a very lonely place ; bnt during the night , there are numerous persons passing backward and forward .
By a Jnror . —I have ntvvr observed any stains of blood either inside tbe cabin or out By the Coroner , —1 believe tbe men employed by M * f > srs . Fenton and Co . are all married . 1 once found a woman in the cabin , about a year and a half ago . By a ; Juror . —I have never smelt any unpleasant smell about the premises , nor have I ever found the fire in in the morning . By the Coroner . —1 , have known women bo on board vessels with the sailors , who have not belonged to the vessel . I do not know of any vessel having stopped at our staith within the last five or six weeks . I do not think it is possible to ascertain . It might be done at tbe locks . By a Juror . —I have not known any vessel from Halifax stop here . Tbe vessels which load there are generally from Skipton .
The witness was then about to withddraw , when one of the Jury asked him if he had not a daughter by his first wife ?—Witness—I never had a daughter at all , ) at least , bo we understood his answer . ) He was told to sit « lovn again , and in answer to further questions By tbe Coroner , said I had never seen anything of this kind before ; 1 thought it was a human being when first I saw it I thought so from the place where ihe arms and neck had been . I saw the body turned over ; it was a dark colour , and looked like a piece of bacon . I am of opinion that the body has been floated into the cut from above ; the wind was blowing from
| the opposite side , and would blow it into the cut ratbbT than ovt-T the dam stones . I bad not heard of any person having seen the body before my wife saw it on the Saturday . There were other parties who stood by ; who were of opinion it was a human body as well as mjscU . I am not sure whether I first said st > , but 1 think I did . I cannot speak to a certainty whether any person has remained in the cabin all night within the last six weeks . There was another man in the house with me when I was first told of ibis . I think I made use of the word " trunk . ' I have heard that name applied before . I am a Lancashire man .
By a Juror—The captains or men belonging to the coal boats do not make u&e of the cabin . I do nut know that they have done so . By the Coroner—1 believe I have told you all I know on tho sutJ-.-ct . I should deserve punishment if I knew any thing and did not tell you . I have no suspicion of any one . I do not know ef any quarrel taking place between any man and woman on the river . I am sure I called it a " trunk' * when I first saw it on the bank . Elizabeth Dean . —I saw tlie body first on Saturday
week , about half-past three in the afternoon . I had been to market It was about a hundred yards from our houBe . The wind was blowing very strong , and 1 thought it was a piece of bacon « r spoilt meat ; I got a slick and moved it ; I thought it could not be a dog . I then saw the necK end , and thought it was a shoulder piece of bacon . It was about twenty yards lower down the cut , on Sunday , than when I saw it on Saturday . I lent the police-man a sheet to put tho body in . I do not think there has been any unpleasant smell from tho cabin lately .
By a Juror . —I do not know of any person having slept in the cabin lately . The instrument by which it is fastened is always kept in oar house ,- it is a piece of iron , and the door is difficult to he opened . Wo . Dite . —I was with Austin yesteTday we ~ k , when this body was found . Austin saw it first , and took it out of the water . We then sent a boy to the crane-house , and three men came out . Jonathan t ) eau was one of them ; he said it would be best to have it buriedj it was a " body . " I believe that was the expression he made use of . I do not think he said it was a " trunk . " I have never heard the expression before ; but I have seen it in the newspapers this week ' As far as I heard , he did not make use of the word . Dean then went for the spade , but came back without one , and said we had better tell a policeman . It waa near eleven o ' clock in the forenoon .
By a Juror—At first when I saw it I thought it was a piece of meat Anstin was determined to have it out , and then I saw it looked like a human body . When the men came up , one of them said it was a body ; but I do nut know which of them it was . By the Coroner—I do not know that any partieular observations were made by the three men ; it did not strike me that Dean seemed in any way confused : there was nothing in his conduct which seemed to be at all suspicious . The body was left by Austin and myself on tbe , bank side while we went to fetch a policeman There was nobody to have prevented either Dean ox any one else from making away with it if they bad had a mind . I did not heat Dean remark that the body had been burnt
Wm . Austin recalled—When the body wu first taken out of the water by me it was laid with tbe back upwards . I am certain that Dean made use of the word " trunk" on Snnday . I have a perfect recollection that ha said bo . I have heard the word before at different times . 1 have no doubt at ail that he made use of that word . I did not notice that any of the three men expressed surprise when the body was found ; there was nothing that struck me as being suspicions . Several remarks were made , and one said " ii was a curious thing that it should be found there . " I was not surprised to hear Dean make use of the "word " trunk . " I have Leard it used frequently ; I heard it

I think , during tbe time of Daniel Good ' s affair . I am sure I am not mistaken . There being no farther evidence , The Coroner then said , he thought there was suffiioient evidence before them to enable them to come to a conclusion as to the cause of death ; he anggested , however , that tbe best course would be to further adjourn the enquiry , as by that step the subject would be kept more before the public , and it might be the means of eliciting some further evidence . He thought also it was due to the public that the case should be as fully investigated as possible . Some of the Jurois expressed themselves as agreeing cordially in the propriety of a further adjournment .
Tfc « Coroner said he might intimate that since last Monday everything that possibly could be done had been done , in order , if possible , to lead to a discovery , or to any means which might lead to an identity of tbe body . Mr . Markland , one of the Borough magistrates , had attended the inquest , and as well as the magistrates generally , had been indt fatigable in causing every inquiry to be made . He would suggest that tbe adjournment should should be for a fortnight , and if anything transpired , they could be called together at an earlier day . This suggestion was adopted , and the inquiry adjourned accordingly until Monday , the 20 th instant , at six o ' clock in the evening .

i ¦ None of their bodies have yet been picked up . About two hours after the above melancholy occurrence , another brig , coal laden , was driven by the fury of the hurricane on the rooks , within a mile and a half jto the east of Saltburn , where . she has since , it is stated , gone to pieces . The orew , eleven in number , were taken off the wreck by a fishing 6 mack , which landed them in about four hours after , in perfect safety . Three Vessels Lost , with All Hand 3 . —Daring the storm on the 13 th of last month , two vessels were seen to go down in deep water off the coast of Norfolk , a few miles southward of Yarmouth . They
have since been ascertained to be the Nancy and the Petrel . The former belonged to Dover , and htr crew consisted of fire persons , William Newton , master , Tremier Lawrence , Charles West , William Chickwin , George Partridge , and another . The whole of them perished . Most of them have friends residing at Dover to deplore ! heir untimely end . The other vessel was from Ramsgate , and her crew amounted to five seamen . They also perished . Another vessel , called the Jane , bound to Glasgow , has been missing since the morning of the l&h ult ., and no doubt is entertained but that she went down within a few miles of Mill ' ord Haven . Her crew perished with her .
Information had been received of the brig Mary and Isabella , from Wick to Leith , having been totally lost ion the rocks ashore of Fiudon , seven miles south of Aberdeen . The occurrence took place between ei ^ ht and nine o ' clock on Friday night last , and a portion of the crew and two female passengers were drowned . At Blyth , on the same night , tho Rochester Castle , a sohooner , amidst the gale , broke from her moorings , and drifted out of the harbour , when she subsequently capsized , and went
down in deep water . She is a totil wreck . At Staithes the ! hurricane on Friday was severely felt . About ten o ' clock on the following morning alight brirf , namedjthe Thomas , or" North Shield .-, drove on shore within a few miles of the town . Through the great exertions of hundreds who had a ? sembled on shore , the crew were all saved by means of a ropt from the ship . Tho vessel is a total wreck . Tne Elizabeth , of Harwich , a schocner of about , 200 tons burden , was , tota . 'ly lost on the North S « a on Thursday last . All the creT 7 , except one , was saved .
Portrush , Feb . 4 . — Yesterday and during the nitfht it blew a most terrific hurricane from tho N N . E , with a iieavy fall ot snow . Early ia the morning the coast onleach bide of Portrush was strewed with fragments of someuHtortunate vessel supposed to have been wrecked on the fearful rocks of the Skerries Isles , and no doubt the crew must have instantly perished . SeVixal casks of porter , marked " Elliot and Co ., London , " have been picked up , also several cask . s have been found , which the coast guard have taken possession of . The only part ot the wreck which can give any clue to the name of this ill fated vessel is the bust of a lady , paiuted white , part ol the carved work on her stern , and a capstan bar , bianiied with '" Brilliant , of Aberdeen . "
LIVERPOOL . The weather has since Monday \ ml been extremely temp , stuous . On ihat day there was a , severe gak from the westward , which , agitating ; the river , made the vessels ricio uneasily . On Wednesday night the ^ a le increased to a storm , which continued wit . hous intermission'the whole of Thursday . During the night , or early in tne morning , a schooner was wrecked on tJlayney ' s-bank , so called from having been the spot where th- ; Lord Blayney steamer wa * lost , with all bauds , som * i years ago . This bank is near the Welsh shore , oif 1 th yl , whereas tho Telegraph announced t-he situation of the wreck as i ' ol lows : - " l'rier « is a schooner suak on West' Ho ) ) e , tho crew in the ritiiJ 1 " ^ - The Point , of Ajr
lifeboat is tfoinjr towards the vessel at 8 h . 30 ra . p m . " The wreck was , ii , appears , observed iiom Rhyl , to which tho Poiat of Ayr life-boat was taken by land She was thence launched and fully manned . Being io tho wiudwar « i of the wreck , she soon reached the edge ot ihe bank i but so tremendous was ihe sea , ii would have been destruction to have attempted to go over the bank to iiho schooner . For thr < -e hours the men remained as near the spot a * they deemed prudent , in tlie hope that the sea would moderate , so as mako itsafot ' or them to venture towards the wreck . But despairing , in tbe tlicu raging state of the surf , of succeeding in tht-ir humane object , they most reluctantly quitted the edge of tho bant , in the hope that the weather would moderate during tho ni < 4 ht .
and enable ihein , if ihe vepstl should hold together and the men survive , to make a more successful < ffort , in the morning . While the Point of Ayr ii eboat was attempting to roach tho wreck from the We sh coast , a similar abortive attempt was made to save the mtn from the Lancashire shore . As soon as the signal of distress wa . s observed flying at Uidstone Lighthouse , and tho Telegraph announced that tho vessel in distress was sunk on West Hovl ** , the Steaming Coropauy ' s ' vessel , the Victoria , was ordered to put to sea b . ^ tantly , accompanied by the company ' --li ' eboat , fully manned . The proceedings of the Vjctpria wjjl be seen by the following statement , with which we have been furnished : — " At tea minutes past mtio , a . m ., on the 2 d inst ., a
signal of dihtrss was observed at Bidstone . Our lifeboat ' s crew immediately mustered , and a , signal was made for the steamer Victoria , it bung her look-out . The lifeboat was got out and the steamer alongside the G . orge ' s Pier-head by half-past inue , a . m . By thi § time the sub-manager , Mr . Barber , had arrived at the pier-head , when one of our clerks went up to ihe Telegraph office and obtained the enclosed information ; en presenting which to the sub manager ihe was ordered by him to go again to the Telegraph-office , to obtain , if possible , infornva ,-tion of the position on West Hoyle where the schooner wasj sunk- But they couid net give him any further information on the subject , than that the Point of Ayr . lifeboat was thca two m . l < 8 to . the
southward ofiher . Tae steamer then iefcr with the lifeboat in tow , it being ten minutes to ten , a . m ., and proceeded down , through the Rock Ch'innftl , to about six ; miles to the westward of the N . W . Lightship , in about four I at horns and a half , on tho northern edge of West Hoyle . There was a man kept at tho mksthead of tho steamer the whole way down , and the master aud sub-manager repeatedly went up there themselves , but could not see anything of the schooner . At two , p . m . they bore up for Liverpool , under the full conviction that tho schooner had gone to pieces . " The fact of the wreck having been on Blayney ' s
Bank , and not on West Hoyle , the two banks being miles asunder , explains the reason of the Victoria not seeing t he i ' wreck . At nightfall two poorfellows were still in the rigging , the sea washing overthem . How thty managed to cling to the rigging all day , amidst the continued wishing of the waves and the piercing cold , ; it is difiioult to guess . What their feelings must have been , if they saw the attempts of the life-boat and the steam-boat to rescue them from their per lous ; situation , and the failure of one attempt after anotht r to reach them , cannot be expressed , but may be imagined . The storm continued through tho nignt . Next morning not a single vestige of the unfortunate steamer could be seen from the
Bidstone s'atipn . The unhappy crew had perished . They originally consisted of four , but two had been drowned early in the morning . On Friday night , or rather on Saturday morning , the wind blew a complete hurricane from tho northward , there having been very little west in it . One small vessel was wrecked on the banks , and all bands were lost . Neither her name nor the port whence she caroe could be discovered , aiy more than the namo and port of ; the schooner wrecked on Wednesday night . A flat was also wrecked near Mockbeggar , but the crew were happily saved . The British and North American royal mail steamer the Acadia was at her moorings in the Sloyne , ready
to start on her voyage to Halifax and Boston . So violent , howevier , was tho s ' . orm , and go agitated the river , that several of the ferry steamers could not , early in the forenoon , ply . No ? dare any steamer make the attempt to carry the passengers and the mails alongside , lest it should b " seriously damaged , if not actually jsunk , hy the heavy sea ,. But , even it ' the passengers ; and the mails had been on board , it would not have been prudent for a vessel drawing so much water to have attempted to cross the bar , " on which there was a tremendous sea , after the tnrn ot the tide . All these considerations induced the agents to delay the steamer ' s sailing until Sunday , wnen , the storm having abated , she proceeded to sea . — A Ibion .
An Investigation is on foot relative to the purloining of a valuable portion of Earl Fiizwilliam ' s juwels from Milton House . Snspicion attaches , it appears , to some of bio lordship ' s domestics . Newbiggin-6 n-Sea , near Morpeth . —The brig Biucher , of aiid from London , in ballast for Warkworth , was , on Saturday morning , totally wrecked on some rocks j near this place . The captain , Air . John Johnson , ' with two others , were saved ; but three , including the son of the captain , were lost . Exportation of Specie . —Specie to a very large amount is now exportiug from Liverpool to the United StatesJ The British and North American royal mail steamer Caledonia , which sailed on the 4 th ult ., for Halifax and Boston , carried out above 100 , 000 sovereigns ; and , yesterday , the Acadia , for the Bame port , had on freight not less than 300 , 000 .
The ordinary rate of insurance for specie in these steamers is 12 s . 6 d . per cent ., but in consequence of the large quantity going by the Acadia , and the extremely boiBtetous- state of the weather during the last week , the ( premium rose as high &b to 30 s .. At this rate , even , ] it was diflicult to get insurance done on specie , the underwriters being quite full of risks . The packet ship Independence , which sailed yesterday for New York , carried out 60 , 000 sovereigns on freight ; and ilie packet ship New York , which will sail to-morrow i for the eame port , will have a large quantity on freight . The Great Western , too , which will leave Bristol on Saturday next for Vladeira and New York , will carry out a large amount . of specie . Tbe sovereigns thus exported ^ are , u is supposed , chit ily intended for operations in . bills of exchange . —Liverpool A Hjion .

Disasters at Sea . —Margate , Feb . 5 . —Another vessel is added to tho list of hombward-bound , which at the very close of their voyage , have suffered shipwreck in the channel . The Larltins , a fine ship , belonging to Messrs . Heaviside and Co ., of Cornhill , which arrived in the Downs on Thursday last , from China , after breaking from ht : r moorings on Saturday night , came ashore on the Waipole Kock , about one milt ) to the eust of Margate , at half-past four o'clock on Sunday morning . The circumstances of tbe ' preseut lo ^ s diffm- 'materially from the recent calamities on the French coast , inasmuch as the Larkins had reached the Downs in safety , and was riding at her anchorage when the heavy gale spmng up on Friday night . Two steam-tugs had been despatched from the river to bring her into thn docks , but on their arrival within sUh . t of the bhip , the
weather was so ooidterouj that it was found impossible to make head against it , and they were both compelled to take shelter in Margate-road * ; one of them having lost an anchor and chain . The Lurkins roie out the gale vyell during Sa / urday morning , having 120 fathoms of cba , in out ; but about midnight it was discovered that sho was driving near shore , and Captain Hibbtsrt considered it advisable to cut both , tho raaiu and miz > n masts away , in order to eavo tho ship from striking . In 1 his , unfortunately , h « was not bucces ^ ful , as she came on shoro with the floodrtide , about tour a . m . on Sunday morning . The ship sits Well , and great hopes are entertained that the cargo will be got . out without much damage , though the s-a was too high up to Sunaay night to allow any steamer to approach her , and ln < r position precludes the possibility of communication from the laud .
Whitby , Sunday Morning . —One of the most distreHbing shipwrecks that has occurred on this part of the coast for novcral yoar- ; took place yesurday at the entrance of Robin Hood Vbay , s-ituatc a few miles to the south of this harbour and to the north of the ruins of Scarborough Ca .-tle , whereby , we regret tostate , a parry of the Coast Guard Service , belonging to the station at that place , under the command or ' the chief nffiner , Lieutenant Lingaid , R . N ., with the crew of the distressed vessel , consisting of six persons , met with a watery grave . The particulars are as follow * : — During Friday n ght and yesterday morning the wind blew a hurricane from N E . Early in the morning a brig was observed endeavouring to run into the bay for shelter , but a
trenundons 9 a thrv-w the vessel upon her broa ^ sii' 6 , and drove her ashoro , within a short distance from the entrance o the bay . Too crew made every exertion to g <> t her off , but finding it impossible , aud that her destruction would speedily follow , they took to the rising for saffty . Upon their situation bringobstrved by the officer on duty near tho spot ., he hastened to give the alarm to the station . Lieutenant Lingard directly ordired the life-boat to be launched , into which he got , followed by five of his men , and they pushed off in gallant style to the distressed vessel , which proved a collier belonging to London , named the William and Ann . The sea being excessively high , and as it snowed heavily , it was a length of time before they could reach the vessel . Upon
coming alongside , the crew were taken off , and the boat ' s head was put about for the shore . Lieutenant Lingard taking charge of the helm . She had not reached any considerable distance from tho wreck beforo a heavy wave struck the boat and turned her bottom up , throwing the whole of her living freight into the boiling purf . Lieutenant Lingard and sevoral others immediately ro . se and clung to the boat , while others attempted to gain the shore by swimming . Their cries could bo plainly heard from the b ? ach , but it was beyond all human power to render them assistance . Every soul perished . An attempt was marie by the commander of the brig Ayton , which happened to be within a short distance of the
spot , and four seamen , to jjo to their assistance , but their boat was upset , and they narrowly escaped meeting with a similar fate . The namps of the coastguard-men who perished with Lieutenant Lin gard are r .-ported to be , Christopher Tnirman , Wm . Pond , Robert Avery , Edward Jellings , and another . The names of the crew of the vessel are not yet known . Most of the sufferers have families residing in the town , and are highly respected , particularly Lieutenant Lingard , whose lnss is greatly deplored . Up to the present hour , eight o ' clock Sunday raorninsr , only one body has been washed ashore ; it is that of a peaman , and is supposed to be one of tho crew belonging to the wreck . The vessel lies high upon tho uhore , and is expected hourly to go to
pieces . On Saturday , during a violent squall of wind , fifteen coal-shipu drove from their anchors and wont ashore in Woolwich-reach . They all sustained damage , and were not got off without great , difficulty . Eight barges , all laden , were sunk in the reaoh , and about 0110 o ' clock , when the wind was blowing a tremendous hurricane from tho northwest , forty watermen ' s boats were sunk at Greenwich , and the loss to the poor owners will be at least £ 300 . The surge washed over the Governmeut vessels lying off the dock-yard , and it was necessary to baiteu down all the hatches on deck . The mischief done in tho lower part of the river while the storm lasted has been immense , and several
steamers also suffered . On the same morning the tide rose to an utitisual height , owing to the northerly winds keeping the water up the English Channel , and the streets n * > ar the river at Gravesend , Woolwich , and Greenwich , were oveiflowed , and the ground-floors , ceLars , and kitchen- of the houses were filled with the flood , and much property destroyed . In High-street , Wapping , Mr . Johnson , of the Ship , at Execution-dock : Mr . Waemuth , of the Watermen ' s Arms ; and Mr . Willard , of the White Swan , have sustained losses by tbe inundation to thfl amount of £ 200 . In Rotherhithe the tide washed over the wharfs into tbe streets , and has proved very disastrous to many inhabitants here , The marshes ac Dagenham and other places were inundated , and are now under water .
Redcar , Sunday Morning . —During Friday night and yesterday we have been visited by the most awful storm of wind , snow , and rain , that has been experienced since the memorable gale in the year 1839 ; with this differeuce : the present storm blew N . N . E . dead on shore , and the other from nearly the opposite point . Among tho numerous casualties , I regret to record the total loss of the brig Liberty , a vessel about 200 tons burden , belonging to Sunderland , while on her passage from Lynn , commanded by Mr . Liddell , master , which occurred at one o ' clock yesterday morning , at a place called Saltburnv situate within a short distance of this place . The revenue officers , 911 observing the perilous condition of the vessel , got the Redcar life-boat in readiness , and . upon her striking , which happened
about the hour above-mentioned , it was shoved off to the rescue of the unfortunate persons on board . After the brig reached the shore , the crew got the longboat overboard , and attempted to gain the beach , bat almost at the same moment it was cap sized by an immense wave , and the whole of them were precipitated into the sea . The ' life boat was then within a quarter of a mile of the vessel , and , although every nerve was strained by thise who manned the oars to save the poor fellows , it was found impossible , consequently all of them ( exceptiDg a youth of the nahie of William Phillips ) Dies with a watery grave . He was miraculously saved by cl . ngicg to the seats of the boa-:, after being capsized , and was not perceive ! ui . til after he had been washed ashore . Thi ^ number who perished was five , being the master ( Mr . Liddell ) aud tout seamen

MID-LOTHIAN—Tho farmers of Mid-Lothiau have lately held two meetings , for the purpose of considering the propriety of universally reducing their servants' and ^ labourers' wages ! They came to the determination to reduce their servants ( men ) £ 2 per year , and to pay no nioro than one shilling
per day to men . and sixpence per day to women labourers . One of these meetings was field at Dalkeitb , the other in Edinburgh . At tho latter , a Mr .

INDIA AXD CHISA . EXPRESS YBOM MARSEILLES . ( Frirm the Lcnden Times . ) Our ordinary monthly express from Marseilles , in anticipation of the Indian mail , has arrived , 3 nd we have received the Indian journals and letters to the 2 d of January . Tne intelligence waick tb ^ y brirg thongh not of ihe exciting interest of-some mails of last year , is satisfactory , ss proving that the peace and tranquility so much desired in our Eastern possessions have been thoronghly established . The different corps of the army under the
command of General Pollock nad crossed the Suiiedge , and after their fatigues and their sufferings , their campaigns and their battles , the soldiers-were about to ^ njoy the ir triumphs and their rewards . Tbe Governor-General , with the Commander-in-Chief . and a pardon of tne army of reserve , was present ai Ferrzepore on their arrival in the British territory , to welcome them . Tae batta promised , and the medals , wtre about to be distributed with a liberal hand , and general rtjoiemg appeared to be the order of the day .
Among the events which engrossed the attention of ihe Indian Journals during the month of December , ihe proclamation by Lord Ellenbororujh , addres ? ed ** to all ihe prince .-, and chiefs , and people of India , " atd already so notorious here , had given rise to the most extra * rdinary -commenis . It appears to have met with no favour in any quart « r . On a future day we shall * ndcavour to find room for some extracts on tnis subject , which will be interesting as an-evidence of ihe feeling such a document would create among the population for whose perusal it was especially int' nded . Tee uavigation of the Indus and its tributiry riTt-K had attracted much of the attention 01 tbe Gurersment .
A demand had been made upon the Ameers of Saiide : ot their assent 10 a treaty . b _ y which Kurrachet aud Tatia , and a strip of land extending along tht » banks of the Indus , with tbe tuwns and forts of Sukicur , Bnkknr , an < j Roree , and a- far as their t « rraory rviched , sboui < i be made t > v , x 10 the Company . The Winters appeared at first eager to make a det » -rmined resistance , bat ' h 9 pre > t ~ nce of the British 2 T 3 iy UD ^ er the eo mifiaTid of Sir Chiles Kapler had diminished that eagerness . Majur Oiitram . wto was removed in November from ihe political agtuc } at Hyderabad , had eao-Jy in December ruseived orders from tLe Governor-General to resume those fnneaons , as his knowledge of tbe inhabitants and their ruler » is likely to prove advantageous . He started from Bsmbay on boird a steamer on tie 16 : h of December , 10 proceed to join Sir Charles Napier , arid to conclude ihe arTa ^ geEents which it was expected would be st-eeaiiy effect ed to the satisfaction of the parties .

The inferior portion of tbe stomach had bean removed is the section of the trunk . The remaining portion , namely ito cordial extremity , appeared healthy . The intestines were so extensively injured by cutting and burning that It was impossible to trace their course , or to decide upon their condition . Ne part of the body appeared to hare undergone the process of anatomical dissection . From this examination , which we have made , we are of opinion , 1 st—That the deceased was a female , of mature age , most probably from twenty to thirty years , and of short or middle stature .
2 ndly . —That although the mutilated portion of tha trnnk does net afferd sufficient evidence to enable us to speak with absolute certainty as to the cauBe of death ; we consider that the empty condition of the heart and large blood vessels , the complete absence of any traces of coagula in them , and the bloodless condition of the viscera , are strong grounds fer coming to the conclusion that death bad resulted from hemorrhage , and we cannot reasonably account for death in any other way . 3 rdly . —That the fractures of the ribs were perpetrated subsequently to death . 4 thly . —That the burning waa effected subsequently to the removal of the head and lower extremities , and the breaking of the ribs . 5 thly . —That the npper extremities were separated sub 3 i quently to the burning ,
ffthJy . —From the soft , pale , unctuous , but not putrid condition of the muscles , we suppose that the body has been submerged in water a few weeks . nnt less than two or three weeks , possibly double that period . In addition to the above statement , the Coroner submitted the following questions , which we give , with the answers of the medical'gentlemen : To have produced hemorrhage to the extent supposed in this case , what probable means have been re-Borttd to , and what probable portion of the body perforateti or cut ? T&e division of any large blood vessel might have produced tbe hemorrhage . It did not proceed from a wound of the atari nar of the laTger vessels wi'hin the chest . The large vessels in the neck are the moat probable source of the hemorrhage . la it hfcely that the party bad committed suicide , as was suggested by Daniel Good , in the late murder near London ?
No . Is not the empty state of the vessels tbe strongest evidence possiblo that death I'as resulted from hemorrhage , arising from violence of eouje sort ?—See tbe . case of Ranus in Btth ' s Medical Journal—page 546 Yes . If blood be dropped into water I presume it will dissolve ; but if blood had been in the veins and arteries in tbis subject before immersion , is it probable that the blood which must have been coagulated , would have entirely dissolved , as is the case btre ? It is not probable that blood which had been coagulated' in tbe heart and large vessels shcuk ! become entirely dissolved and removed as in this case . Has the division of the body from the head been don <_ by one clear cut , or by two or three attempts ?
The division has bten efiectud by a sharp cutting insunment—but it is impossible tot . ay whether at one or more attempis . Tlie line of incision appeared tolerably uniform . Cm yon say from the breasts whether this woman bad borne children ? It iB impossible to give an opinion on this subject , as tbe skin ef the breasts was destroyed .
