FRENCH PAPERS. —.ow-- LFrom the Elcik, dated Sunday.l PARTS, JULT 9. An Italian Gazette, the Orterratarc Trichina. repeats vaguely r.ll the rumours which circulate-upon the actual state of affairs in Greece. At the moment when the surrender of Navarino took place, the Captain of a Greek vessel who was in the port, and who would not surrender to the Mussulmans, had the boldness to pass through a li ne of $2 Egyptian vessels, and succeeded in gaining the open sea: but this intrepid mariner was mortally wounded, and a part of his 4.701 , were destroyed by the fire of the enemy. The number of Egyptian ships of war burnt at slodon by the brave :Unsung was seven, and not five, as was at first reported. Ibrahim Paella confines himself to short excursions into the inte rior of the Alma. It is said that he expects a reinforcement of 7.000 Albanians from t'andia but the Greek fleet cruising in those seas inspires the barbarians with terror. If we may creek: some extremely vague rumours, the surrender of Navatino has occasioned violent schisms among the Members of the Ccrtral Govemmer.t at Napoli di Romania. The Captain of a vessel. arrived direct from Constantinople at Trieste states, that he was ih eye-witness of the defeat of the Cap itan Pacha's fleet by Admits! Sackturis. several Turkish vessels were burnt by the Greeks. The einstrian Othrrer gives the itinerary of the Emperor of Acstria. His imperial 51ajesty, who left Milan on the 25d of June. will not arrive at stn (an imperial residence between Padua and Venice) till the 15th of July, after having visited Como, Ber gamo, Brescia, Panne, Modena, and begnago. - - - - • • - - (From the Journal de Paris of Saturday.l aramtila, auNt 28.

The Directors of this Company ought justly and pub hely to declare whetlit•r they are exerting themselves or not, in astablidiing the said Loan Bank, or whether they I have Le m terrified into silence, with regard to this establish . - wt such extensive and decided utility for the corn- munity at large. It is at once astonishing and painful to perceive a certain Noble Lord, who in other respects is, however, always at tached to the cause of public good, to be so decidedly against that establishment, which indisputably possesses in many respects considerable advantages over so many other Companies. It cannot be denied that this Company has been established by men of the very first respectability, that the object of its promoters has been to benefit the public by a fair opposition to the body of pawnbrokers, and that this very opposition is the best if not the only means to relieve the poorer and labouring classes in parti cular from very great evils, which but too unfortunately press the heaviest on those who are already distressed. We might ask the opponents to this establishment why it should be less-than other extensive Companies established on a lawful and solid basis ? The only reply to this plain question may be easily anticipated. It will consist in the long worn-our excLama don of the pawnbrokers, " Illegal, illegal ;" but on what grounds it is deemed illegal by that body, is a question which they have as yet not dared to meet, but by long and tedious sophistical reason. bp, which bear neither the stamp of truth, impartiality, nor sound thinking. But whatever may he said, facts speak for themselves, and the strongest fact against the pawnbrokers is. the immoderate in. tercet which some of that body exact from those whom they are in. tended to assist. This and other important facts stare them in the face, sad ought io be,exposed in prutions addrested to the proper quarter. This might perhaps tend more than any thing else to ex terminate this many-headed Cerberus. al certain Noble bard has adeaticed, as an argument against the Company, that any young man, who applies himself to the obtaining credit, for the sole purpose of making into money the property obtain. wi, will meet with many facilities; but this argument may be eerily refuted by the supposed fact. that according to the present system not only every facility is granted to such a man, but should he feel in. timed to release the property once pledged, he will be prevented by the enormous interest charged at present, and which swallows up half the value ot the property itself. In this respect the Equitable Loan Bank is the very reverse, not only in consequence of the respectability of the Directors being a aafegusel against any extortion or improper roaduct, but because they nerd not feed and subsist on the produce of speculations, much less on interest. as is the case with individual pawnbrokers, and therefore should any act of injustice eventually happen, it must be dicavered immediately, and would be checked as soon as disco vered, nor would this company want ready support, as well as busi. news, from Imam industry and want. If the Directors. who are all men enjoying the highest respectability, make themselves liable and responsible for their agents (which is a matter of course', no thing can be advanced against the Company on the scope of its extent, nay, even if It were composed of 100.1100 members. This, di-refine, is but a mean argument, if any argument at all, on the part of the opponents of the measure. 17t us look at other catenate, Cora p.m:es that have been eatablehed, and are thriving for many years, and we inertly ask, dote no order or regularity prevail in them ? It would be herd. indeed, if a Company were to he decimal illegal on the ground of to pencuring employment to hundreds of indivi duals, the objection whereof, is having too many ramifications, and us employinx too many dependants, falls of itself to the ground. ace ire of opin,m, therefore, that the object of the Equitable Loan Bank has been misunderstood, and the Directors ought, in case it should yet be deemed requisite, to lay personally a clear anal c rcturestiaitial statement of the object of the Institation before the ord Chancellor, end we feel convinced that his Lordship would n. t be the last man to declare himself favourably toward* the Com ; and we hope that the Directors of the Equitable Ingo Bank %sc.' not any longer remain quiet, but take up the bueinesa seri• t0..1y, and in their own hands, end it will soon be crowned with the tawniest success. 1 ne tninpiny may rely on the universal support and eo-opera- Mon Mall classes of society, from the richest to the 1100/1.0 ; the tom,. will have an opportunity of safely investing his capital, at • good interest, and the latter wall be furnished with the means of obtaining aid, and anpplying his momentary want at an equitable rit.r ot interest, and in a proper honest manner ; and it will create nniversal satisfaction, as soon as the Company of the Equitable L Bank shall give public notice that in one way or another they have commenced their operations DENEVOLENTIA.

This novel undertaking appears to excite it continually Increasing intarekt. The %loiters Registry shows the names of very many foreigners, and among them some eminent for science. It lies, we believe, excited much curiosity, and forms a frequent topic of conversation on the conti nent—a tunnel for Carriages beneath such a river as the Thames being regarded as one, at least, of the various wonders for which England has become such an olliect of admiration. Amongst the recent visiters have been his Royal High ness the Duke of Gloucester; and on Friday last the Chairman and Directors received on their works his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Duchess, his Royal Highness Prince Leopold, the Earl of Ilardwicke, Mr. Secretary Peel and his brother, Mr. Dawson, M.l'., and many ladies in their party. The engineer, Mr. Brunel, explained in the French language to the ladies the modes of , operation. The Duke, the Prince, Mr. I'eel's brother, and Mr. Dawson, descended t o t h e b ottom o f t h e shaft (now I excavated to nearly the lowest point) by the ladders in common use by the workmen. They inspected with much attention, and expressed their approbation of the whole proce!ting, and were shown some of the masses of shells ' I I still found in the centre of the thick stratum of clay. Some of the ladies were lowered down the shaft in s suit able chair. Against the gable-end of a house on the works, the Di rectors have caused to be built, in brick, a fac simile of the perforation which will shortly be begun horizontally across the river, in order to show more strikingly the proportion of height and breadth for carriages, &c. &e. and which will ,be painted in perspective, and will hare a fine effect. The new steam engine is expected to be very shortly a work, and must greatly expedite the operations. The clay ex cavated is conveyed into a neighbouring field, and is there converting into bricks of particular make, to he again usfyil, in its new form, in the construction of this sub !Nitrous communication. We have much pleasure in laying before our readers, from an authentic smite:, in our present number come in teresting particulars of the above undertaking. In an age so fruitful of enterprise as the present, it is, perhaps, hazard ing much to point out any particular work as one exceeding all others in boldness of conception, or in difficulty of exe cuiion ; but, looking at the nature of the operation itself, and the combination of talent, precaution, and vigilance, necrsaary to perfect the work, we do not hesitate in giving the opinion, that should the Thames Tunnel be effected, the completion of it will form an era in the scientific annals of this country, alike honourable to Mr. Brunel, whose genius projected, and to the individuals whose property secured, the accomplishment of thi s g ra n d undertaking. The rapid strides which our country is taking in all that is great and good are truly wonderful. No sooner does genius arise and project, whether in a Telford, or in a Brunel, than the capital of the merchant is put in motion, and works are executed which, to our forefathers, would have appeared impossible, forming durable monu ments to the spirit and enterprise of the age in which we live. Nor must we forget, in estimating the progress which science is making in this country, the enlightened commercial views now so generally acted upon. Restric tion, that enervator of the commercial soul, is breathing its last gasp, is drawing in hideous form towards the grave; and in its place is rising an enlightened and expanded feel ing. which sees individual good in the general good; and which leads the merchant and the monied man cheerfully and with confidence to produce their capital, to give effect to the midnight labours of the philosopher and the man of science. To illustrate these remarks by a view of the great work now under our consideration, we ask what age, except the present, would have come forward with a subscription to accomplish this mighty undertaking? It is obvious that a devotion to the arts and sciences is diffusing itself widely over all classes of society, effecting a bond of union between the scholar and the merchant, the engineer and the capi talist, which is likely to raise this country to a pinnacle of glory never before attained. Nr ith these introductory observations, we give our readers the following particulars of the projected work : The tunnel will consist of two archways, and, in order that there may be no obstruction tt carriages, those going from the north to the south shore will pass through one, while those from the south t e north will occupy the other archway. The passag ill be macadamized, and there will be distinct paths for foot passengers. In the centre, between the two archways and dividing the two ' roads, will be a line of numerous arches of communication spacious enough to admit of persons passing from one road to the other; and in each of these arches will be fixed a strong gas-light. The approaches to the entrance of the tunnel will be by circular descents of easy declivity, not exceeding four feet in every hundred. One smaller one for pedestrians ; another larger one for carriages; and so easy will the descent be, that the heaviest loaded waggon will never need to have the wheel locked. The descent from the north side will be near to the end of Old Gravel-lane, at the eastern end of the London Dock, and, on the south side of the river from a spot near to Itotherhithe Church. The bed of the river has been rigidly examined by frequent and deep borings, in order to ascertain the nature of the strata, and the results have been, we are informed, highly encouraging; the deep parts being uniformly of a tenacious, hard, blue clay. The machinery, by which this excavation is to be made, is the invention of Mr. Brunel. The iron shield, for the protection of the workmen, and for the security of the work as it proceeds, is of an ingenious combination, and of itself is said to weigh ninety tons ; and this weight is literally to be pushed through the earth, entering at the shaft on the north side of the river. For this invention Mr. Brunel has obtained a patent. As this large shield, or three-staried iron scafrolding, is daily moved on to fill up the excavation made by the workmen, is to be followed closely by the bricklayers, who will make all good ; so that the incumbent earth N All always be sup ; ported by the iron shield, or by compact and well ce mented brickwork. 'f he size of the tunnel will be thirty ; five feet wide, by twenty feet in height ; each archway will have about fourteen feet clear width (including footpath); and the whole length of the tunnel will be about one thou sand three hundred feet. Shoahl nothing unforeseen pre vent it, this novel communication is expected to be opened in less than three years. It will he obvious to every per son acquainted with the Thames, that no bridge could crors it where the tunnel is designed to he made, unless it were of a height so great that ships could sail beneath it. Such a bridge has been projected, but the design was soon abandoned. The tunnel may be regarded as a bridge re versed, and as a channel of intercourse between the two shores, at once commodious, and suited to its locality. Such an intercourse has been for a long time a desideratum, and mast, we conceive, be much used. It will open a free, and probably an important, communication between the counties of Middlesex, Essex, Kent, and Surrey, and the several national and commercial establishments on either shore, and which, in time, will give birth to im provements of no small magnitude. The laud is already, we believe, regarded as more valuable, in the view of this new channel of communication ; a new road and new docks arc projected, and we have no doubt that, if this shall succeed (as we firmly belim: from the persons conducting the undertaking, and the talent employed, it will) other tunnels will be hereafter undertaken; and so, without interrupting the navigation of the Thames, its stream will hereafter be no bar to the easy intercourse he r, tween the shores, even by carriages of the largest tlescrip lion, and for loads of the heaviest weight. There will :I be in this tunnel a thickness of fifteen feet of earth be. ' tween the crown of the tunnel and the bed of the river ; and the brick-work will necessarily be of the best ma- Iterials and most solid nature, and closely cemented with the utmost care. _ _ _ The present is not the first attempt which has been made to carry a tunnel under the Thames. Some years ago such a work was projected at a part of the river near Gravcsetal, but the attempt proved abortive. An attempt was made near notherhithe in 1809, which also failed. The improvements which have since that period been introduced by Mr. Brunel into the science of tunnel ing, incline us to look for a more fortunate result from the present attempt. The following is a description of the mode adopted in carrying the work into effect, as set forth in Mr. ltrunel's plan. In the case of the drift-way made under the Thame at notherhithe, in 1809, the water presented no obstacle for nine hundred and thirty feet, when a great body of quick-sand gave way, and filled the drift. The ininers soon °relearns this obstruction, and were able to proceed until they were, stopped by a se c o n d erup tion, "flitch in a f e w !nitrates filled it. Nothing comes more satisfactory in support of the system that is adapt ed here, than the result of the operations that were Camel on, under the most disadvantagens circumstances to an extent of one thousand and eleven feet, and within one hundred end thirty fOet from the opposite shore. It is to he remarked, that at the second eruption, on examining the bed of the river ' a hole wa s di scovere d, f our , feet in diamet er a nd n i ne feet deep, with the sides perpen theater ; a proof that the body of quick-sand was not exten sive. But what is most mina:l:able ie, that this hole could be stopped merely by throwing from above * 'quantity of clay, partly in bags, and other materials ; and after pump ing the water out, under a head of twenty-five feet of loose ground, and thirty feet of water, the miners resumed the the work, and proceeded a little further; but finding the bole at the fir s t e r upti o n i ncrease d, and the filling over the second very much sunk, the undertaking was aban doned. The peculiar character of the plan before us consists in the mode of effecting the excavation_ by removing no more earth than is to be replaced by the body of the tunnel, re ' taining thereby the surrounding ground in its natural state of density and solidity. In order so to effect an excavation of thirty-five feet in breadth by twenty-five feet in height, Mr. Brunel pro poses to have the body of the tunnel preceded by a strong framing of corresponding dimensions. The object of ' l this framing is to support the ground, not only in front of the tunnel, but to protect at the same time the work of excavation on all sides. The body of the tunnel, which is to be constructed of brick, Is intended to be fitted close to the ground; and in proportion as the framing is moved forward, so the brick work is made to keep pace with it. But, as this framing could not be forced forward all in one body on account of the friction of its external sides against the surrounding - earth, it is composed of twelve perpendicular frames, which admit of being moved singly and independently of each other, in proportion as the ground is worked away in front. These several heroes are provided with such mechanism as may be necessary to move them forward, as well as to secure them against the brickwork when they are stationary. It is to be observed, that six alternate frames are stationary, while the six in termediate ones are left free, for the purpose of being moved forward when required ; these, in their turn, are made stationary for relieving the six alternate ones, and so on. Thus the progressive movement of the framing can readily be effected. In order that a sufficient number of hands may be em ployed together with effect and security, each frame is divided into three small distinct apartments, which may properly be denominated cells. By this disposition the twelve frames form thirty-six cells, in which the men are to operate for excavating the ground. It is to be ob served, that the ground in front of e tch cell is to be kept from falling in by means of a powerful shield, consisting of small boards, strongly secured by the frames. It is from within the cells that each workman is to cut out the ground, just in the way he would do if he were to cut out a recess in a wall for the purpose of fitting a closet into it ; but, with this precaution, that he is to remove each board, one after the other, and replace each in succession as he cute the portion of the ground corresponding with it. When he has thus gained from three to six inches over the whole surface, (an operation which it is expected may be made in all the cells nearly In the same time,) the frames are moved forward, and so much of the brickwork added to the body of the tunnel. Thus in intrinzhed and secure eels, thirty-three men may be made to carry on an exca vation which is six hundred and thirty feet superficial area, in regular order and uniform quantities, with as much facility and safety as if one drift only of nineteen feet square was to be opened by one man. The drift carried under the Thames, in 1809, which was about the size of one of these cells, proceeded at the rate of four to ten feet per day. In the plan now proposed, it was not intended the progress should exceed three feet per day, because the work should proceed with mechanical uni formity in all the points together. With regard to the line of operation, if we examine the nature of the ground the work has to go through, we ob serve under the third stratum, which has been found to resist filtration from above, that the substrata, to the depth of eighty-six feet, are of a nature that present no obstacle to the progress of the wine!: we are informed that little water was met there. It is therefore through these sub strata that it is proposed to penetrate, and to carry the line that is to cross the deep and navigable part of the river, leaving over the crown of the tunnel a head of earth of from seventeen to twenty-five feet in thickness, quite un disturbed. Admitting that in descending to, or ascending from, that line, the engineer should come to a body of quick sand, such as that which was found within about two hun dred feet from the shore, it is then that the combination of framing already described, would be employed with effect, and accomplish upon a large scale, what is practised on a very small one, by miners when they meet with similar obstacles. The nature of the ground under the bed of the river at Rotherhithe in a line contiguous to that now proposed for opening the tunnel, may be best understood by the follow ing tabular view ~, Feet. Greatest depth of water at high water - . - 34 The bottom of the river consists of a bed of gravel and sand, the thickness of which is about . - - - 4 Clay mixed with sand - - - 2 - - Stift clay . . . - . . • al Total - 77 The boring tools have been forced into the soil to various depths, but they have generally been broken by the adhe sive nature of the materials beneath ; and it is supposed from the result of other borings made on shore, that the ground is nearly the Fame to a considerable depth. The cEimated expense of this undertaking, 160,0001., is so much under that of a hritip, as to have occasioned doubts whether it has not been under-rated. But to re move these, it is sufficient to state, that it will be con structed almost entirely of brick, which is the cheapest of I all building materials, not merely as a material, but also in the labour; and though these are intended to be laid in the beat Itt. .tan cement, in preference to ordinary mortar, the cost of a rod of brick thus laid will not exceed 181. ex clusive of the labour ' • and as the length of the body of t h e tunnel will be one thousand two hundred feet (a length exceeding by much that of Westminster-bridge), it will require one thousand two hundred and eighty rods of bricks, the amount of which, at lsl. the rod, will be 23,0401., a sum that would scarcely pay for a single pier of a substantial bridge: this will be sufficient to give some idea of the cheapness of a structure which is composed en tirely of bricks.—Scientific Gazelle.

The masters and men continue to meet as usual, but without any ap proach to a settlement of their differences. The number iof persons out of employment is weekly increasing, as all those who belong to the Union cease to work when they have finished the goods or the wool they had in hand at th e strike. The Lancashire Papers state the number se( unemployed persona in this district at 30,000, which is nearly ten times as many as the actual number. However, the evil is bad enough, and great hardships are sustained by the workmen and their families. The wire-drawers at Rastrick, near Halifax, hare dis [continued their strike and resumed work, not at the ad ranee offered by the master card-makers, but at the old Irate, or something under. Some of them who were fore most in the turn-out repented of their conduct, and have tvm tendered their services at a reduced rate, unknown to those of their fellow-workmen they have misled. Slimy of the men have been discharged by the masters, without a prospect of soon obtaining employincnt.—Lccd4 Paps'•• MR. O'CONNELL AND Mil. LAWLESS.

On Thursday, Peace O ffi cers Montgomery Rod Kea ne , lICCOSIIA re / ponied by two other persons, boarded the St. George Steam Picket, lying in Kingstown Harbour, in order to search for some of the gang concerned in the murder of Andrew Merchant. Pence Officer .Montgomery stopped ill the boat along-side whilst the remainder of the party went on hoard, where they had been about five minutes when the packet got under weigh, and stood out to sea. The boat was towed after her, in which Peace Officer Montgomery remained, to a considerable distance from the harbour, when, at length the vessel getting so much weigh, the painter parted, and the boat dropped astern, being nearly upset in the tough sea, caused by the motion of the wheels of the engine in the water; Moutgonvery returned, and reported here. that his brother officer Keane, and the two per.: sons who accompanied him, toi above stated, were on their passage to Liverpool.

SUSPECTED CHILD 1111.711dER. THE CORONER'S INQUEST RESUMED. to our Paper of Friday last we gave the proceedings of a Coro,. ner's Inquest which was held touching the death of a new-born male infant, which had been preserved with rose leaves and musk, and packed in a Casket, and forwarded from Winchester by one of the Southampton coaches to Mr. Tricker, cooper, Vincent.street. Vincent-square, Vauxhall road. It *ill be recollected that at the close of that Atting the inquiry was adjourned till a fttthre day, in order that We a l e , th e o ffi cer o f Q uee n- square po li te, m i ght proceed to Winchester, to investigate the revolting business, and, if possible, to arrest the individuals concerned. Since the publication of the pmeeedings in the newepepers, the utmost anxiety prevailed amongst the Magistrates of ilinehestef to assist in bringing the delinquents to justice; and Os Weak's arrival there he met with every facility in the futherance of his object. Yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, the officer arrived in London ; and, pursuant to adjournment, The Coroner (Mr. Higgs), and the Gentlemen of the JurY, fee assembled, at eight o'clock last evening, ai the house of Mr. Sambrook, the Regent's Arms, Regent-street ; and the following further particulare were narrated by Weak, the officer, touching the extraordinary affair:— On leaving London he took with him the rush basket and the apron and cambric handkerchiefs that the infant tan packed in, and on his arrival at Winchester on Saturday morning he learned that the basket had been purchased at the shop of Mr. Harper, a basket.. maker and oilman, on Monday morning, the 4th instant (the day before the parcel was received by Mr. Tricker), but that gentleman could not recollect to whom he sold it. He next ascertained that a young lady, named Jane Sturgesi, residing with her mother in the church-) and of Winche s ter Cathedral, bad beet delivered on the same Monday morning of an illegitimate child by Mr. Lyford. an accootheur, which he left doing exceedingly well, but on going to the house in about two hours after he was surprised at being told that the infant was dead, but so offer was made to him to see it, although he expressed himself much astonished that such a healthy strong child should die so shortly after its birth. In conitquence of this information he, the officer, had an interview with Mr... Lyford, who declared the child belonging to Miss Ntirgess was a male child, and its features, upon a description, exactly corre. sponded with that of the deceased. Weale next proceeded to Stara gess's house, and found the female, Miss Sturges'', In a very dangerous state of health. On putting several questions to het rexa tive to the child of which she hail been delivered she said, that it was a little girl, and that lie bad died, and that her brother had made a mall box for him, and she had given it to Heathcote, the grave-digger, to bury. On the production of the rush basket she declared she had no knowledge of it, but Said the apron she thought. woodwas theone she had wrapped her child i n , but swear it %ea.. In consequence of these suspicious circumstances, he applied to Mr. Newbolt, the Magistrate, who granted a warrant for the sp. prehensiou of Jane Sturgess, the mother of Miss Sturgess t Heath cote, the gravedigger t and a butcher'ts boy named Edwards. against whom strong suspicion was entertained t sod on Saturday afternoon they were examined before Mr. Newbolt, the Magistrate. and several of the Corporation of Winchester, when the following depositions were taken, and the child that had been buried by Heathcote, was exhumated and prodyced in Court. Mr. Beare Lyford, surgeon, of Winchester, stated that he had seen the child that had been taken from the grave in the Cathedral Church-yard ; but he could not say upon his oath that It was the same child that he had delivered Miss Sturgess of on Monday last, although he believes that the child of which he so delivered her, was a male child, and the one this afternoon produced is a female. Mrs. Cooke, of Wincliescetlasted that she was present with the child soon after the woman's delivery, and she thought she heard Mrs. Sturges., say it was a girl. She saw her wash the child with brandy, and doing all she could to recover it ; bet she could nos recollect whether it was a male or female infant. _ Louisa Sopp stated that she saw the child soon after it was been. and it was a female. She saw it at half-past six o'clock in the morning, and was quite sure it was a girl, and heard the doctor say (when the mother asked what sex it was) that it was a little girl ; and Mrs. Sturgess told her daughter, saying " There, I told you it would be a girl." Mr. Biggs, the bookkeeper at Winchester, said, that he eerily believed that the butcher's boy was the person that had brought the parcel to him, but he could not swear to him, This wail strongly denied by him. The 3lagietrates, not considering there were any charges attri. butable to any bat Mrs. Sturges*, they were discharged, and she was placed under recegnitancea to appear when call e d u p on . B'eale further stated that he ascertained that a man had put. chased some musk on Monday morning at a ehymist's, at Wir chetter, stating that it was for Mrs. Barnard, in Winchester, and on inquiry of that lady, she positively denied having sant any per son for it. The officer also stated, that the Impression on the minds of the people of Winchester was, that from the circumstance of the woman Sopp, and the grandmother of the infant being midwifes, that the had, on finding Mr. iryford's surprise at th e d e ath o f t h e c hild, an 3 fearing a discovery, procured the female infant, and buried it as a substitute for the one the subject of the present inquiry. Mr. bolt, the surgeon, of llolywell-street, IVestminstcr, further stated, in addition to his former depositions, that he had preserved the body in a solution. There were marks on the neck of it, aps parent!, the impression of four finger nails on the tight and Ids side of the neck. There were no other marks of violenec. There being no other evidence to produce in this mysterious affair, the Jury expressed their unanimous wish to again adjoure. as in all probability, the Magistrates of the city of Winchester. who had taken such en interest in the business, might hear of some. thing that would elucidate the matter ; and they et the mime tiros ' expressed a wish to have the attendance of Mr. 14 ford. the Surgeon. lrhe CORO:. ER acquiesced, and the inquiry was adjourned, al half-past ten. last night, till Friday next •; and a summons wit. e lent to o Al ec r... s l i t . ord, the Surgeon, at Wincitaiw, lot his attendance, u that LA , : Adam, wife of the Lord high Commissioner tor • the lonian Islandi, arrived on the 9th of June at Trieste, on hoard of the Engllsli frigate the Sybil, Captain Pcchel, from Corfu.
