THE WHITECHAPEL MURDERS.-A news agency states that the police yesterday made a singular arrest, which was reported to be in connexion with the Whitechapel murders. It appears that during the afternoon a man, described as a Polish Jew, was arrested near Drury-lane, but for what offence is not exactly clear. The man, who is of short stature, with a black moustache, was taken to the Bow-street Police-station, where he was detained for a time. In the meantime a telegraphic communication was forwarded to Leman-street Police-station, which is the head-quarters of the Whitechapel division, requesting the attendance of one of the inspectors. Detective-Inspector Aberline [sic] immediately proceeded to Bow-street, and subsequently brought away the prisoner in a cab, which was strongly escorted. The man, who is well known to the local force of police and detectives, is stated to have been absent from the neighbourhood of Whitechapel lately
