The deceased lived with her daugh ter, who was absent from home at the time of the ac cident. What is vet y extraordinary, the deceased WAS 93 years of age on the day the accident took place. Mr. Birch, the House Surgeon, declared that the de ceased's arms, face, breasts, legs, and her person ge nerally, were burnt dreadfully, and the injuties caused her death.

Mr. Birch, the Surgeon, deposed, that - the deceased's arms, rice, bfeasts, kc. were burnt dreadfully. The hry, after a little consultation, returned a verdict of— Accideittally Burnt to Death. Another Coroner's Inquest was held on the body of Muster George H. Davies, aged five years, son of Mr. Davies, of No. 23, Dartmouth-street, Westminster.— The deceased was in one of the apartments where a fire was a-light, and during the absence of his parents be was playing with the fire, when his clothe, came in contact with the flames, by which he was in a short time surrounded, and burnt in a horrid manner before assistance arrived. Verdict—Accidental Death. Letters have been received from Malta, via Mar seilles, in the remarkably short space of fifteen days, being dated the 20th ult. The following passage of a letter, from a person of 'notch experience in the Me diterranean, thus regards the proposed relaxations of quarantine in this country : " A Dr. Mamas has written much to prove the non-contagion of plague, which, it is understood, has had considerable weight at home, in calming the fears relative to the direct communication with Egypt. However. too many proofs can be produced, in op position to his opinions, by those much better acquainted with the disease than he can be from a short residence in Turkey. It will be most lamentable should this horrid malady reach England; and that it will, without most extraordinary precautions, can scarcely be doubted. The risk incurred ought to be most strongly im pressed on the minds of Ministers; and certainly everything should be done to keep the disease as fat front Great Britain as possible." The spirit of improvement is gaining ground on the Continent, and excited by the example given by this country, arrangements are planned to facilitate inter course, and abridge the time heretofore required for the conveyance of the Mails. Thus the Post Office at Frankfort has adopted a method, by which letters will be carried from thence to Milan in 48 hours less time than has hitherto been invariably consumed. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.—The Opera of Der Freischuta was performed at this House on Tuesday night. The novelty of the evening consisted in Miss PATON'S resumption of her old character of Bertha, which had been performed, ad interim, during her indisposition, by Miss HAMMIRSLItY. Miss PATON appears to have ex perienced no diminution of her very delightful powers during her temporary absence. In the remaining pieces incidental to the character she was equally successful. Aladdin concluded the entertaiuments of the evening. A conjunction of Mars and Mercury, in Aries, will take place at five o'clock to-morrow morning. The Spanish Government has just sold off the whole of the quicksilver on hand, from the mines of Almaden, to a French mercantile house, deliverable in Seville, at thirty-eight dollars per quintal (about Is. 6d. per pound). The quantity is about 11,000 quintals. A communication has been made to the Assembly of Upper Canada, from the British Government, offering to loan to the Province the sum of 70,0004 for the pur pose of making a Canal from Lake Ontario to the river Ottawa, provided the Legislature of the Province will secure the payment by a specific tax.—New York Paper. A new mode of lighting Theatres has been adopted in Italy. The lamps are above the ceiling, and .send' forth a light through a plate of glass, which distributes' the rays around the Theatre. The effect of this mode of lighting may be if imagined by picturing to one's self the disk of the Sun at its zenith. The carpet-weavers of Kilmarnock have struck work for an advance of wages, and the masters are adver tising for other workmen.—Glasgow Free Press. TALMA'S last benefit in Parigon the 21st ult.) was one of the most brilliant assemblages ever seen in the French capital. The vast salle of the Opera House was completely filled ; the receipts amounted to 35,000 francs, about 14001. sterling. A curious Chinese docnment has reached this coun try, in reference to the Burmese war. It is a Procla mation of the Emperor of CHINA, grounded on a dis patch from one of his Governors—the Governor of the Province of Yunnan—bringing under his attention the state of the frontiers. The Governor states that the Burmese are engaged in a war with the English, and have been defeated in most of the engagements which they have hitherto had ; and he recommends that on the frontier towards the Burmese territory, there be erected " fortifications and towers," to prevent the violation of the Chinese territory by either of the parties. The Emperor directs that a line of fortifica tions be erected all along the frontiers, according to the recommendation of the Governor. This Proclamation, which is translated from the Pekin Gazette, and has reference to the early affairs in Assam, will be pub lished in the transactions of the Asiatic Society. The 15th of March last,there was discovered at My. sey (Jura), fifteen feet under ground, on the right bank of the Loue, a canoe, formed of a single tree, hollowed out, and of extraordinary dimensions. It is an oak, about thirty feet long, three feet broad within the sides, and twenty-six inches deep. • The thickness of the bot tom varies from seven to eight inches; and the sides are about four inches thick. The two ends are raised regu larly to the height of the sides, and are pierced with several holes, which appear to have been intended for oars, and bear the marks of the rubbing. The preser vation of the boat was perfect, but since it has been ex posed to the air, some parts have fallen into dust, but the heart of the wood has not even lost its natural colour. OARSTANO—A party of the inhabitants of this an cient Borough, consisting of more than fifty persons, partook of a most excellent supper at the Royal Oak, Garstang, on Tuesday evening, the 22d inst. Thomas Bell, Esq. in the Chair. The object of the meeting was to drink the healths of his Majesty's Ministers, and to express their respectful gratitude tor the late most am ple reduction of the public taxes. The duties of the Chair were ably supported by the worthy Gentleman who presided. The accustomed patriotic toasts were drunk with a degree of enthusiasm which marked the most devoted attachment to, and greatest admiration of, our glorious Constitution; and truly might it have been said, at the time our national songs engaged her attention of the meeting, that " Merril; every bosom bnomleth, Where the soot of freedom soundrth." ~^ v;"tfOtl.• . : -nerej ' . • . , AIME .

Matthew Lowther; William Turner, and john StlArd,- were indicted for assaulting T. Richardson, who stated that he and the defendants were journeymen cabinet makers. They worked for Messrs. Stothaed, piannforte.r makers, and he for Messrs. Ihynes-and Co. St. Paul's Church-yard. On the 9th' of February, he was induced by Lowther to go'to the Bear and Drummer public house in Windmill -street, where he was placed in a p a ,..- ticular seat in the parlour. When thtre, a quantity c f yellow ochre and other filth was repeatedly thrown upon him from an aperture in the wainscotting. From 15 to 20 men then rushed into the room, among whom vent the defendants Turner and Stafford ; they seized him by the coat, tore it, pushed.him on the fire, filled his hat with rubbish, and put it also on the tire, threw him down on the floor, and otherwise violently ill-treat d and abused him, and ultimately pushed him into the cellar, where he was bitten by a dog, and his clothes !urn. Hs knew of no other reason for his being thus treated than that he was not a society-man, and wat what they de. nominated " a black." The defendants weir s o ciety- men, and had been formerly in Messrs. Baynes's em ployment ;but those Gentlemen would no longer employ any journeymen who were society-men. - The Jury found the three defendants Guilty.—Judgment deferred.' • R. Evens wA s charged with assaulting Catherine Foley. Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for the prosecu ion, stated that the prosecutrix had been the servant of the defendant ; she was a Scotchwoman, who had conic to London to look for a place, and for his part he saw no good reason why Scotch women should not seek their fortunes as well as Scotch men—(/I laugh). The prosecutrix brought with her from her native hills a good apretite, which, how. ever, the defendant was determined not to indulge, as he was in the habit of stinting her to a miserable mutton chop—(4 laugh). The Learned Gentleman, after a few further remarks, called The prosecutrix, who said, she did not know what the profession of the defendant was, except that he re- , mained out by night, and staid at home all day. She lived with him for three months and a fortnight, at the rate of ten guineas a-yenr; besides that she lent him six shilling , . When she called on him for her wages, he pushed her down stairs, and threatened to call a con stable to take her into custody. On her crossaexamination by Mr. Aux', she ad mitted that for a month previous to t!te day laid in the indictment, the defendant was confined to his bed with the gout. For the defence was called a Mr. Stephens, who saiiJ he was present when the alleged assault was committed ; he denied that the defendant struck the prosecutrix. [lt was here suggested that if the defendant paid the prosecutris the wages due to her the case would not be pressed any farther.] • After a great dell of altercation between the parties. it was agireed to leave the merits of the case to the'arbitration of Mr. Barry. A verdict of Guilty was in the meantime found against thedefendant, and sentence deferred until Saturday. In the course of the day there were several other cases of assault tried. They were quite uninteresting except to the parties thenbelves. The defendants in almost every case were of the fair sex.—The Court rose at half-past four. The Rev. P. O'Ratt.r.v, Administrator of the Parish of Killaneek, whilst returning home in the evening, about a fortnight ago, was waylaid and barbarously. murdered. Our Correspondent in Granard informs us,. that the Coroner's Inquest on the body was three sevev ral times adjourned: at length the Jury brought in the following verdict—'" Came by his death in consequence of wounds inflicted by some person or persons un known." It is said, we trust without foundation, that this inhuman murder, like many others that have dis graced the North, was the effect of party spirit 1— Dalin, Paper. Monday evening, about five miles on the other side of Doncaster, the Leeds Union Coach, coming to Lou don, met with a serious accident by coming in contact with a waggon, which overturned it. The coach was full, both inside and out ; and of the passengers, we understand only four ruched London.; the others were more or less injured. The coachman was also much hurt; and George Young, who has been guard thereto' for some years, had his thigh broken in two places. RaLlosous Scatinas.—A Russian Nobleman, new in France, was in treaty with the steward ot a cettaiu courtier (famous for his devotion and for the high did plomatic rank that he holds i4brnad) for a chateau.— The bargain was all but concluded, when the steward with infinite regret, and all possible conceits - informs M. le Russe, that as them is a Clikiel attached to the chateau. and as his Lordship is unfortunately a Member of the Greek Church. it u•as fuund to be quite impose sible to complete the bargain.
