His suspicions were well found. ed ; for, in a very short time afterwards, he observed the same persons, followed by several people, with a bulky article rolled in a sheet. He of course took them into 'custody, when it appeared they were bearing the body of 'a titan who had , lately lived in the Havannah, and was buried on Thursday. Upon this discovery, the indigna tion of the people rust to tile highest pitch. Every epi thet of indignation and reproach was heaped upon the utisereants.and had it not ►eers for the timely ;Lorinl of a strong party of the patrol,' the crowd would certainly , have inflicted summary and severe punishment on the spot• A hurley was procured, on which the body was haid,and, of one of the fellows resisted, struck,• bit, and :abused the watchman, he was bound and laid beside the body, and he and it were lodged in the police °nice.

Its consequetute of these cam 111 l • statutes transpiring, with additional inferences, a large crowd assembled this morning in front of a. house occu pied as a lecture-room in this city, and theltimmethately broke open the door, when a sight was presented of the most appalling description. There were two apartments, and in each of them were lying lragments of human bo dies, besides all the dissecting instruments. One large tub was filled with a number of heads, legs, arms, and other tuns of the home frame, steeping in water. The naked body of a kniale, with her long flowing hair, was lying on a table entire. Otte of the bodies wanted the head, Lite entrails were out. and it was cut up and most fearfully disfigured. A.complete skeleton seas hanging at the end of the room.

Pepe with condom injurious to :hie• reputation, he pointedly avowed his opinions, that military revolutions were, in all casco, contrary to the principles of honour— that any chaegs. in the Government of Naples was un necessary—and still fess in that of Spain. The letter concluded with a challenge in the usual items. To this letter, General Pepe replied, by ileclarieg his opinion, that every free State was indebted for its liberty to mili tary revolutions, not excepting even England—that the Spaniarals were now a prey to civil anarchy. only be cause certain individuals, calling themselves Liberals, were.in fact,. hostile to the constitution of the COrtes-.- that he had employed the authority which his rank and his command had given him at Naples, to resist the despotism of a Government, which, while it-rendered the people miserable, was of no actual advantage to the reigning dytiasiy-.and concluded by accepting the chal lenge. Ois the guth of February. the Generals met— Cenut Santa Rosa, ex-Minister - of War of Piedmont. attended General Pepe,. and M. Brunet, a French gen tleman, General Carascosa. I Ile weapons were swords, and We combatants engaged; but in the second pass, , General Pepe's sword snapped short near the guard, on which the seconds interfered, and the combat, as is usual in such.csses, was deferred.

The nurse and Mrs. Clayton ray they heard him up with the child ahem one o'clock, and it is certain he had the child out of bed some time in the night. About eight o'clock in the morning, the nurse called at the door, but received tin answer, and supposing that, as he had Leen disturbed the night be fore, be was still asleep, he was not again called till near ten o'clock. when there was still no answer.
