• • • • :. SCIENCE. GERMAN PERFUME.—The Germans make a beautiful perfume in the form of a powder, which they throw upon ignited char coal. The mixture is as follows :—.Mastic and sandaric, of each three minus, storax six ounces, henzoin six ounces, cloves, cinnamon. sassa fras, wood of Rhodes, iris, cascarilla, red rose leaves, lavender, pimento, of each four ounces ; lemon peel one ounce, musk twenty four grains, amber twenty grains. Reduce to fine powder. EAU DE COLOGNE.—The Journal des Connaissances miceles for March, gives the following recipe for a superior sort of Eau de Cologne :—Spirits of wine (of 32 degrees) 1 quart, essence of citron 2 drms essence of bergamot 2 drms. essence of lavender essence ofcedrat I drm. neroli 10 drops, ambergris 10 drops, tincture of benmin 3 drms. and otto of roses 2 drops. Mix, and having well shaken the mixture several times, filter. The quality improves with rage. A METHOD OF OBTAINING NATURAL FLOWERS IN WHITER.—Choose some of the most perfect buds of the flower you wish to preserve, such as are late in blowing, and ready to open ; cut them off with a pair of seisms, leaving to each, if possible, a piece of stem about three inches long; cover the end of the stem with Spanish wax, and, when the buds are a little shrunk, wrap each up in a piece of paper, clean and dry, and lock them up in a dry box or drawer, and they will keep without corruption. In winter,_ or any other time, when you would have the flowers blow, take the buds over night, cut cif the end of the stem, and put the buds into water wherein a little nitre or salt was infused, and the next day you will see the buds open and ex panded, and the flowers display their most lively colours, and breathe their agreeable odour. EXTRICATION OF HEAT BY COMPRESSION OF GAS. —M. Colladon finds that to ignite amadon (a dried fungus), atmos pheric air must be reduced to one thirteenth of its volume; and to in flame sulphur, to one eighteenth. HEAT DISENGAGED BY COMPRESSION OF WATER. - Desprcts has ascertained, that when water is compressed by a force equal to 20 atmospheres, one sixty-sixth part of a degree of heat is evolved. HEAT DTSENGAGED BY THE COMPRESSION OF AIR. —Mr. Ivory has determined that " the heat extricated from air when it undergoes a given condensation is equal to three eights of the dimi nution of temperature required to produce the same condensation, the pressure being constant. J. Phillips, Esq. F.G.S. York—from observations on the boulders and fragments of rocks in the North of Ragland, confirms the opinion of Professor Rockland that the direction of the diluvial currents was from North west to South east, or thereabout. OBSERVATIONS ON FOSSIL SHELLS.—M. de Basterot states that of the shells which occur fossil. Genera. Species. Species resembling the existing. 297 6 1141 ... 151 1091 ... 107 Chambered .. 29 Univalves ... 81 Alubivalves & Bivalves 111 In the library of Lambeth Palace is the shell of a tortoise brought there in 1623 ; it lived until 1730, and was then accidentally killed. Another in the Episcopal Palace at Fulham, procured by Bi shop Laud in 1648, died in 1753. One at Peterborough was known to have lived 220 years. A meatc.or MOUNTAINS.—M. Pentland by trigonome trical measurements determines that Mount Sorata is the highest moun tain in America. It is situated towards the northern prolongation of the eastern Cordillera, and its height 25,200 feet. The usual limit of papetual snow on it is 17,100 feet. V.INOR_AIIA OF THE BRITISH E M P 1 It E. NORTHAMPTONTEEITURY, APRIL 2. ' The Commissioners of Woods and Forests advertise the bark of 1,057 oak trees in Salcey Forest, and of 1,215 in Whittlewood Forest, of which 371 are to be felled for the navy. Hence it appears, in spite at all that has been published to the contrary, the sermon f or felling chosen when the sap is in the trees. At a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the town of Northampton, held pursuant to public notice, at the Ram Inn, in the said town, on the 28th day of March, 1831, for considering the conduct of their representatives, and 'expressing their opinions upon their Parliamentary conduct. G. Peach, Esq. in the chair. It was proposed by Mr. Hensman, seconded by Mr. T. Sharp, and resolved unanimously—That the co rdial thanks of his constituents be given to Sir G. Robinson, hart. their tried and faithful Representative, for his zealous adherence to the principles of retrenchment and reform ; and es pecially for his vote upon Sir H. Parnell's motion, tor an inquiry into the civil list of expenditure, and upon Lord John Russell's bill for a Reform in the representation of England and Wales. And those pro posed by the Rev. N. Jones, seconded by Mr. Heathcote, and resolved unanimously—That in the opinion of the electors, Sir R. H. Gunning, bait, by his vote against inquiry into the civil list, has forfeited his reiterated pledgeto vote for Economy and IRetrenclunent,Ond that by his opposition to Lord J. Russell's motion for Reform, he has proved him self unworthy of their support and confidence. 51ABlET HARBONOUGH, TUISDAY.—Wheat, 745. to 82s; Barley, 38s. to 445; Oats, 255. to 306 ; Beans, 38s. to 415 ; Fine Flour, 645; Thirds, 591; Malt, 76s ; Butter, 13d. to 14d. per Ib ; Eggs, 22 for is.

NORTHAMPTON FREE PRESS, APRIL 3. On Saturday last, the county meeting took place in the Town Hall, Huntingdon. which had been convened by the High Sheriff, J Ben dyslie, Esq. e. for the purpose of considering the propriety of petition ing the two houses of parliament, in favour of parliamentary reform. and for expressing approbation of the conduct of his Majesty's minis• tern in respect of that measure." Notwithstanding the weather was cold, gloomy, and threatening rain, the attendance was (for the size of the county) extremely numerous. the body of the hall and galleries be.ng densely crowded. We observed Lord Strathaven, M.P. for the county. J, Donfoy Rooper, Esq. Rev. Dr. Maltby , Captain Duberley, George Pryme , Esq. Tycho Wing, \V. Pears, Esq. E. Martin, Esq. Captain Edwards, A. E. Newton, Esq. G. G. Day, Esq. W. . Ash ton, Lsq. C. Slargetts, Esq. Fowler, Esq. Matthew Tebbutt, Esq. &c. &c. Tire following address to Sir R. H. Gunning has been signed by nearly five hundred persons;—' We the undersigned inhabitant house holders of the town of Northampton, beg leave to testify our approba tion of your truly, honest, manly, and independent conduct, in unhesi tatingly opposing the Reform Bill, lately introduced in the Commons' House of Parliament by Lord John Russell, tending materially not only to alter the institutions of this land of freedom, but also to dis. franchise nearly one third of the voters of this town." Of course the framers of the above address had full right freely to express their opinions as to the probable effects of the measure on the in stitutions of the country, but they had no right to assert that which is untrue, namely, that it "would disfranchise nearly one-third of the voters of this town," because such a statement is at direct variance with truth. —Every effort which ingenuity can devise has been resorted to to ob tain signatures to this address to Sir. R. H. Gunning; but though all sorts of persons have been enlisted—voters and no voters—women and boys—yet their numbers do not exceed at this moment six hundred It was a complete failure; the friends of reform could not have desired one more so. Let this address be contrasted with the petitions—not one petition, but three petitions sent up to Parliament from this town, praying fur reform, each bearing nearly double the number of signatures. For a considerable time past the establishment of a Library, upon liberal principles, has appeared to many of the inhabitants of Wis hed - 4 highly desirable. This has been at last carried into effect. A meeting to explain the objects and to point out some of the advantages of this Society, was held at the Exchange Hall, on Friday the 25th of March, at 7 o'clock in the evening, which was numerously and re spectably attended. Sir. Walker was called to the Chair. The Act of Parliament for authorizing the removal of the present garden of the University of Cambridge to a new and more eligible scite, received the royal assent on Wednesday last. The Stamford Champion of Tuesday says—"° The 25th of March has arrived, and with it the discharges that were threatened by the Marquis to those of his tenants who had voted according to their own wishes. On Friday Sir. Hayfield, under steward of the Marquis, went to the houses of' the poorer tenantry, and demanded why they had not tome out? 'Out,' said many of them, where shall we go—shall our children perish in the open streets ?' 'No matter for that, you must turn out, and that directly : if not, my orders are to bundle you out neck and crop.' In vain the poor creatures prayed and protested—the 'or. dens' were imperative. On Saturday morning many helpless women were running about the streets of Stamford, seeking counsel as to what they should do in their extremity. They were soon informed that neither Marquis nor man could ' bundle them out,' or turn them into the street, without a regular process of ejectment. Nor were the poor alone visited with orders for immediate expulsion. Messrs. Smith and Ridsdale, hankers, one of the partners of whom had given only one vote to the nominees of the Marquis,—Mr. Lunn, the hatter.,—and others who had also given only one vote,—were ordered to ' turn out instanter.' In the case of the latter gentleman, not only was he ordered instantly to give up a close which he rented, but also a stable which was his own freehold. At Ely Assises William Jarvis was convicted of uttering at Chat tents, on 10th Dec. last, a forged 51. Bank of England note, and George Houghton, as accessary before the fact.

They wish further to remark, that the several houses on the east side of Great Ship street, and in Stephen-street, now in posselsion of his Majesty's Ordnance, are also omitted in this valuation. The Clare Sentinel of Friday contains an account of several out. rages in the county of Clue. The houses of the • following persona were attacked, or arms taken from them, in the course of the preceding week :—Bentley, Lucas, Cullinane, W . O'Connell, and Dillon. On Wednesday, several cows, belonging to Mr. Gloster, were turned off his lands near Tradaree, county Clare, upon the road. They strayed away in every direction, and some of them have not yet been found. Ministers intend to form a loan fund, to encourage employment in Trehind. This must be a source of much benefit to the country ; but Mr. Dawson is quite comet in saying that it would be a " delusion " to suppose it will do enough for the poor. Without parochial rates, adequate relief cannot be extended. The regulations for the loan fund will be complex and voluminous, and much time, it is said, will be re quisite, to give them the form of law. It woul d be better to suffer the time to be spent, in the first instance, in digesting and methodising a system of parochial rates. Leisure may afterwards be had for the loan regulations ; the parochial :rates have, certainly, the most impetative claim on the attention of Parliament. The Kilkenny Journal states that forty or fifty pensioners are about to emigrate from Kilkenny to Canada. The dispute concerning tithes still continues in Graig. The Kilkenny Journal says, that on Wednesday a troop of Lancers and a company of infantry were employed in the neighbourhood of Bresbford, assisting the notice and process.servers in serving tithe processes. An attorney, named Jeremiah Daniel O'Brien, was arrested on Satur day, at the office of Mr. Moore, Granby-row, by Peace-officer Hartley, on a charge of forging the acceptance of a Captain Nester, to a bank post bill for 1001. He has been committed to Newgate for trial at the ensuing commission. The local taxation in Dublin is loudly complained of, and presses with great severity on a number of distressed householders, many of whom are ignorant of the powers or the mode by which it is inflicted upon them, or even of the purposes to which it is applied. The only knowledge they have of it comes to them through the application of the collectors, who in some cases are obliged to seise the bed of the occupiers in order to extort their demands.—Prospectus of an assess ment issued for Saint Thomas's parish : Cleaning windows of the church Two new gates to Church yard New wall in front of the church-yard ..

At a meeting of the independents of Clare, held at Ennis onWednes day last, Mr. Steele recommended the independent mere of Clue to re ceive the Lord Lieutenant with a procession, urging as a reason for that cause— That his Excellency, by his intended visit, for the purpose of investigating in person the state of this country, as far as possible proved an anxiety to make reparation to Ireland for the injury which he did her by listening to the advice of his evil counsellors." The refusal of the High Sheriff of the county of Waterford to call a meeting of the county, for the purpose of adopting a petition in favour of the reform bill, has only had the effect of creating a still stronger feeling in its favour. Eighteen or twenty magistratn have now come forward, and signed a requisition. convening the county for next Wed nesday, at the Court-house, Waterford. At the assizes of Cavan sentence of death was recorded against three men, convicted of taking arms out of the house of one Briers, a gun smith, who lives in the town of Kingscourt. The particulars of their case are these consequence of a report spread through the counties surrounding that town, that the Orangemen, risen "en mane," were marching from Bailieboro' to attack the Roman Catholics at Muff, the latter were assembled in Kingscounto the number of 20,000, and while there word reached them, affirming that the former were within three miles of them, rapidly approaching, and masaaereing every Roman Ca tholic with whom they met on their way. The multitude rushed in every direction to procure the means of defending themselves. The door of Brian' house was, at this moment of excitement, forced open, and the arms found in it were carried off. All this occurred at noon . day. They neither took nor injured any other species of property, nor did they injure a single Protestant ; and in a few days after the arms were safely returned. The sentence passed on these men has created a sensation of intense sorrow amongst the well-disposed of all parties. In allusion to the loan of 50,0001. it is observed that—" This plan is not the invention of Lord Althorp. He has the merit of trying its operation. To the Knight of Kerry is due the paternity of the design. He originated the idea—he licked the branches of it into shape and form ; but Lord Althorp has altered the original plan. He has not adopted the suggestion of a general assessment, to which the Knight Is devotedly attached. Mr. James Grattan and Lord George Beresford ate of the same opinion with the Chancellor of the Exchequer. They exclaim, " what ! are we in the east and in the south to be taxed for the improvement of the west, and for the relief of the poor whom the landlords in that district have created." But these gentlemen con cur with Mr. Sadler, who is, by the way, a very benevolent, sensible man, and a thorough enemy to the futile theorisms and cold hearted political economists—in urging the expediency of introducing into Ireland a modified, well regulated system of poor laws. The following are the tests proposed to Irish Candidates:— Fine—As every nation should govern itself—as the Legislative Union was effected, and continues, „against the consent of the Irish people—as it is the principal cause of reducing this country to its pre stet miserable state—and as Ireland never can be happy, nor the con nexion with Great Britain firm and secure till it be repealed—" WiU you vote fora Repeal of the Union ?" Second—As every man belonging to a country, and in a sound state of mind, should have a voice in the government of his country; and as a tenant or dependent cannot give &Kee vote without the shield or pro. tection of the ballot. and as the representative ts not sufficiently under the check of his constituency in seven years parliaments " will you vote for radical reform, vote by ballot, and short parlisinents." Third—As every religious sect should support its own ministers; as it is unwarrantable and oppressive to compel any body of men to pay a tithe of their property even to the clergy of their own faith; as it is unjust and unnatural to force seven or eight millions of half.starving Irish Catholics and Dissented to pay a tithe of their property, and build churches in each parish for halt's million of persons of a different religion, " will you vote for a total abolition of the vestry and tithe laws?" Fourtit...As the country is fast sinking under heavy taxation, the chief pan of which is spent in supporting idle sinecurists, and unme. rited pensions, " will you vote for the reduction of taxation. and the total abolition of all sinecures and unearned pensions?" Fifth—As all bodies having the public money at command should be elected by the public; as the present grand jury system tends to jobbing and corruption, places the patronage of the country in the hands of a few individuals; and as all grand jurors should be elected for their separate baronies or districts through the people, by ballot, will you vote for an entire revision of the grand jury laws?" Sixth—Will you vote for a repeal of the subletting act? Seventh—And last, though most important, will you exert all your energy in opposing, and vote against, the renewal of the ty. runic, despotic, and unconstitutional association act, commonly called the A lgerine act?

The importance of the Claret Stakes, and the circumstances attending it, require from us a more detailed account than usual. The odds at I starting 7 to 4 agst Augustus • 4 to 1 apt Cetus ; sto 1 agat St. Ni cholas ; 6 to I apt Little Red Rover ; and 10 to 1 apt any other. Capt. Arthur took the lead at a moderate pace, followed by St. Nicholas and Little Red Rover to the Duke's Stand, where St. Nicholas went up, Arthur appearing here to have had enough of it; Amphiaraus at this time was pretty well up. and Little Red Rover in a good place on the near side of the course, St. Nicholas being the outside horse on the upper aide of it ; Cetus and Augustus at this point were out of the race. As the space between the horses and the chair lessened, St. Nicholas had a alight lead, and about 50 yards from home he ran tight across Amphi araus and Cap t. ) Arthur, and continued his oblique course till be came against Red ver, whom he forced within a yard of the ropes, and almost turned him round, indeed it was a miracle that they bad not both gone over the ropes. This had a material effect on the state of the race; both these horses lost pound as a matter of course, while it gave the other two an opportunity of making another attempt for the race. The coming in was singular, and oae of great difficulty for the judge to decide upon; St. Nicholas and Little Red Rover ran in together, close to the ropes on the aide of the course opposite the judge, while Amphianua came in about the middle of it, and the Captain within a yard of the chair; St. Nicholas was pronounced to be first by a head, and Amphia runs second'; the Captain was so well up, that it was no easy matter to decide whetter he was second or third, and the Rover, from his diminu tive size, was so effectually eclipsed by the Saint, that if we had not seen his rider, we should not have been able to ascertain his position—he could not have been defeated half a length. The winner was rode by H. Edwards, Amphiaraus, by S. Day, the Captain, by Robinson, the Rover by Wheatley, Cetus, by Chifaey, and Augustus by AmulL It was clot; that, but for the circumstances mentioned, the race would have rested between the two Yorkshire horses, and a severe struggle ft would have been, for neither of them had been put to his beat. Amphiaraus and the Captain would certainly have been out of the question. After the race, a formal objection was made against the owner of St. Nicholas receiving the Stakes, on the ground that he had run against Little Red Rover, the complaint being founded on a law of the Jockey Club, by which any horse that swerves against another, whether accidentally or otherwise, is to be deemed distanced. The matter was discussed before the stewards in the evening, and after examining the jockeys, &c. the stakes were awarded to the Duke of Portland, and St. Nicholas placed last in the race. It is but justice to the rider of St. Nicholas to state, that the horse la of a very vicious disposition, and has never yet been known to run straight. The value of the stakes is 1,4001 FRIDAY. )latch.-200 soya. h. ft. T.Y.C. Mr. Poyntes f. by Whalebone, out of Phantom, received from Lord, Tavistock's 1. (dead) by Emilio., out of Moonshine, gat.

Mr. Story, a partner in the firm of Machin vioualy to which he had seen all the doors and windows fast. ened in the usual manner, and the property was at that titt le all safe. The prisoner Flannagan had been in their ser v i ce. .. At about twenty minutes past six, he was awakened, and he found that all the property in question had been taken away f our desks, which were in the once, broken open, and about six pound, in silver and copper removed. He saw the prisoner Flannagan at that time be was then in his shirt. Witness asked him hot► it was possible he could have slept while the noise of breaking the desk ! was going on, for he slept in the auctlon.room, ftom whence the property was taken. There was a considerable quantity of pu re taken froma cupboard in the office. Mr. Debenham sleeps in thehom occasionally. John Couroy, a police constable, on Sunday morning, Jan. 14, ob. served the outer door of the dwelling house open, in consequence of which he rang the bell ; the prisoner Flannagan answered hid, in his shirt, and exclaimed, " Oh, my GOD ! the house has been robbed They went into the auction room together; the Boor was streued with wearing apparel; there was a pair of old boots lying opposite Flam m _ gin's bed. Witness asked him if they were his. He replied in the nt. Richard Gardener took Flannagan into custody on the 15th. Th, prisoner told him that his heart was ready to break, and he wished to swak to witness in another room. When they got there, he stated that he had let two men into the room at 12 o'clock, and that a third man watched at the door. That Spra;is and another were the persons who came into the room, and Sprags sat on the bed while they packed up the things. Sprigs took some clothes and a pair of boots, and left his own behind, the two great coats, and put some of the things into ek e pockets of them. He had understood that the property was sold on the Monday following for 621. They had told him that if he would allow them to come in, be should have half the property. Mr. Thomas, superintendent of the police.station, Covent•garden, stated that below Flaatnagen on the night of the 14th, and he appeared to be in a miserable state of mind, in consequence of which he sent for him the next morning, when the prisoner told him that he was still very wretched, and his heart was breaking. He told witness that it was true that he had made a confession to one of the officers. Witness, with the prisoner's consent, took down the substance of the confession in writing, to be sent to the Commissioners of Police. The prisoners confession was here read, which stated that he let the persons in, and shewed them the desks, which they broke open with screw drivers. This was confirmatory of what has been already pr, , ted. George Avis apprehended the prisoner Sprags on Saturday, the Titit of February, and took from him a gold watch, chain, seals, art key, and a gold finger ring, besides some wearing apparel, in which l c - vas dressed. Witness went on Monday the 28th, to a house in Grey. Marlow-street, hlarylebone, where he received 16 sovereigns from a ft. male. She told him that Sprags had left 181. with her, and that the other two be had spent. After he took the prisoner up, while they were in the coach, the prisoner told him that he had bought the watch. chain and seals; be also said the wearing apparel was his own. After he had been examined, he sent for witness, and said that he wished to see the magistrate. Witness then, according to his wish, took him to u private room before the magistrate, Mr. Roe, whom he told that the robbery had been planned two months ago ; and that Flannagan let him and Cazeley in, while White, not yet in custody, stood at the door; and he had been completely led into it. He added that he had left his own boots behind. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—This confession was not taken down in writing. Abraham Jacobs, a general dealer, in Bishopsgate, stated that he had sent a pair of boots produced to Messrs. Machin and Dcbenham's for sale. He believed them to be the same, because the mark which he al. traf t s o c rt t upon his boots had been scratched out. Winter, porter to Messrs. Machin and Debenham, was called, and proved that articles had been entered in the catalogue corresponding with those produced. Several piwnbrokers were called to identify some of the property at having been pledged at their houses. This closed the case for the prosecution. The ptisoner Flannagaa put in a written defence, denying the charge against him, and attribudng the confession he had made to unfair treatment. The prisoners called several witnesses who gave them good characters. Lord TENTEIDEN recapitulated the evidence, and the Jury found both the prisoners guilty, and recommended Flannigan to mercy on account of his you,h and _ inexperience. POLICE REPORTS. MANSION./10IIIIR.—Tile officers of one of the parishes applied to the Loan 111.e.Yoit and Alderman COWAN, to bind a boy, who is no more than 11 years of age, to a trade, we believe that of a butcher. The boy was living on the parish bounty.. The LORD MAYOR thought that a ten years' apprenticeship was too long a course of slavery to doom any human being to. The vestry clerk said, the parish officers were aware of the impro priety of making a practice of binding children at such an age, but the conduct of the father of the boy was such, that it would be advisable to take hint away from so ruinous an example, and as an opportunity of placing him under the care of an unexceptionable person presented itself, it was considered prudent not to let it blip. The LORD MAYOR still thought that the ten years slavery was too severe; and Alderman Cowan concurred with his lordship. The Lois MAYOR told the officers to protect the morale of the child, and to bring before him the idle and profligate father, who had thrown such a weight upon die parish The boy was then taken away by the officers. GUILDHALL.—C. Marshall, the keeper of a Coffee-shop in Chanty Lane, was summoned yesterday for opening his shop at an earlier hour in the morning than the law permits. The shop was open at half. past three o'clock on Sunday morning last, being half an hour before the prescribed time. It being the first offence, Mr. Alderman Tyrone convicted the defendant in the mitigated penalty of 20s. BOW.STREET.—Irt sterday, a miserable looking boy. only eight years old, who gave the name of John Jones, was charged with having stolen a pair of shoes from the shop-door of Mr. Pubis, of Great Rut. sell-street, Coveut-garden. Mr. Pabia saw the prisoner in company with another boy, lurking about the t'oor, and presently he detected the prisoner running away with the shoes. The other boy escaped. The prisoner being asked by Mr. Minsbull whether he had a father, or mother, or any M e nd, who would come forward on his behalf, bunt into tears, and replied, that he had no friend in the world. Hien:other died In November last, and be had been deserted by his father, who had taken up with another woman. He bad lived by b egg in g about the streets, and at night, having no !place to blither him, he lay down in the sbeep.pens at Smithfi.ld. He declared that he never had committed a dishonest action before. Mr. Alrriartv lA. observed, that the poor child was much to be pitied. The present was evidently his first offence, and he had no doubt been prompted to it by the other boy. Mr. Fable sit id, that to far from having any desire to press the charge against the poor boy. he would gladly give a sovereign out of his pocket to help to put him it. some honest way of life. Mr. Thomas, the police-tope:intendant, said, that a society was now forming by some ltumaPe individuals for the purpose of apprenticing young boys like the prisoner to the settlers at the Swan River. The plant he understood, had met with the concurrence of Government, and he knew that Mr. Capper. of the Home-oflice, was arranging the details. After the term of apprenticeship should expire, it was intended that the young men should each receive a grant of land,; and as much stock as I would sct diem up in the world. Mr. Thomas added, that be would write to Mr. Capper on the boy's behalf. The prisoner was ordered to be taken care of in the New Pilsen mail the result of Mr. T.'s application shall be known. Ma R YLEBONE.—l'estertlay one of the police-constables came before Mr. Houma, leading in a female alto tract:tied to have drowned her self in the Regent's Canal the night before, and whose name was given as Harriet Eisen. In answer to the magistrate's questions. she stated that she origi nally came from Farnham, in Surrey, shire her parents yet lived; that she had been seduced in earlier life by a Captain Pratt,with whom she travelled through Ireland eight years ago, abd by whom she had sir children, of whom lour were living, and that her lodging at present was in Streiton-ground, Westminster. The captain, she added was emus. toured to put op at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden, when in Lon don, but being attached to no particular service, she had ceased to hear about him. Directions were given to the policeman to accompany her to Queen-square Office, and request that measures might be taken to induce the parish officers in that quarter to afford prompt relief to her self and children.
