We have given elsewhere an account of " the extraordinary
story," the disappearance of the Russian L. R. Bauer from Euston Square Station, and have suggested reasons for' venturing to dis- trust the popular opinion that he has absconded or become initane. We believe he has either been drowned or has more probablycota- mitted suicide by drowning, and we are happy to perceive that this opinion has also struck the police, who are searching the river carefully. One body has been discovered near Blackfriara Bridge which is certainly that of a foreigner, and may by possibility be that of the missing man, whom it will not be very easy to identify, as all his papers were destroyed.
