The watchittatV who was himself alarmed it the appearance of der white fiiture, intreated Mr. GilAis to come 'down, and help him to examine what it was. Mr. Gibbs accordingly came down stairs with a light, and' they then found that it was the body of a ynnagi woman, in the agonies of death. Vhen Mr. Gihb came down stairs, joss as he had opened the tioi VS door, she fell forward, ar,d breathed her last. Ott examining the body, they fou 4 she had received se.' veral sevete bruises about the head, and one ?Usti. cularly under the ear, which iierned to have hems infl•aed with the nob of a large stick. There were also some marks of yietenee about her throat,' as if she had received sonse kicks there. She' bled only from the nose f none of the wounds were inflt(ted with a sharp instrument. The Watchman' carried her to the Branch of Grapes Public-house, • in Creat So ff ulk•street, opposite which she re , - - mailed until five o'clock, and was then taken tie the Workhouse. The deceased appeared to be * very handsome young woman, about 18 years of egg. ' she was dressed in a white muslin gown with lens sleeves, and yellow gloves: Her bonne . , was straw, trimmed with pale pink ribbond, and her -.shoes were velvet. . __a: • A w oman of the town, who saw the NMI, Mpg that the girl had been in the same unfortunate site. ation as herself, and that site saw her the preceding evening at the (licit', in company with a geode, rum, to uhase person, if she again saw him,- she could swear. 'l'i,6 woman aloe said, that the dee cea-ed had lived, for a considerable time, with a .dew, named Jacobs, in Martin 3 street ; but, she believed, hid separated from him a few days back, and gone to lodge is Manila-row. A Polies Officer hearing part of this story, brought dig wog man into the WmAhonse-b4ll, and immediately sent for the Jew, and for the owner 'of the house whet* it was said the deceased last -lodged The story told by the former was, that the name of the worn* was Green, and that sl.e lived with him for veggie time ; but three or four d a y s state they quarrelled, and he turned her out of his hoses, and kiept a boa of clothes, her property. in pledge for some me m* due to him by her. The person at whole house • she last Ir;clg-d, corroborated this statement, en-fax as saying that he deceased had been their lodger but foe a few days back. It is the generakopinion that the murder was not perpetrated in. Bawls:g row, where the body was found; but tbst o t i gr wi tl.:e t mortal sounds hod been given, the u • young woman seas carried to. &84 Piscoi °Praia, Gibbs's gate. The grounds on wsich this bpi nien is founded are, that a waggon teloogiog to Mr. Gibbs left his premises, for the county, es aaly at halt past two o'clock, and, at that tinie. the body was not at the gate. After this hour Mr. Gibbs did not sleep, and he heard no otter noise hut the barking of his dogs ; so that it is more pro bable she was carried there almost lifeless, than that she was aflually murdered. there, which must have created a disturbance of some kind. Drops of blocd were also traced for a considerable distance along .the road near •where the body was found but, as large drovet.of cattle pass that way every ; Friday morning for Smithfield-niarket, it is highly probable the blood might have dropped from some of them. A coroner's hippest will sit upon the b,cly this day. • . . EIRE. AI.

The whole of the premises belonging to Mr. Chase fell s prey to did devouring elemen.. the dwelling house ex* cepted ; but the cattle were fortunately preserved.. and placed in safety, before the flames had COMe munscated to the farmyard. The premises, we understand, were insured, but not to the extent of the d •mage sustained. A waggoner driving a team of horses near to the above place, was struck dead, as was also one of the horses. The lightning - also communicated to a rick of wheat near Eat- dock, liertb, and Ise loads wheat were: con mimed. I 7 An immense boar was discovered on Friday last in a 'ewer under Swallow-street. It chewed signs of a most ferocious disposition ; the men whe found it, however, procured some ropes and poles. by which means, on again coming in sight of the fierce animal, they were eriabled to defend themselves; and a cord being put wish great dexterity round his • head, it was, without much resistance, drawn out ; on being brought to the light. it exhibled a most extraordinary appearance ; the slOn was tol a bright yellow, soft. and pappy. en•irely devoid of bristles, on I of a wonder Cul thickne.s, the tusks of vast length. and the whole of the body proved to be of a great age.
