NOTWITHSTANDING the advances which have recently taken place in the prices of British and Fo reign Spirits, J. T. BETTS and CO. have determined to continue their supplies of PATENT BRANDY to the Public at the same price as formerly. The purity and perfection of this tests; artcle are so thoroughly established by the most ample chemical and the pretensions of others to the production of an equally pure Spirit have so completely failed—as shown by their not having dared to snake public the results of analization—that J. T. BETTS and Co. need only assure the public that their BRANDY remains of the same high standard in quality which has secured for it that demand which, at the present time, exists to an unprecedented extent. As Distillers, J. T. BETTS and Co. cannot send out less than tw o Gallons of their PATENT BRANDY ; which may be ob tained, pale or coloured, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the highest legal strength, at the Distillery, No. 7, Smithfield liars, leading to St. John -street—their only Establishment.

The arrivals of Grain and Flour this week are tolerably good. There was a thin attendance of buyers at market this morn ing. Wheat experienced a heavy sale, and hardly main tained the terms of Monday, even for the few good parcels that were offered. Barley continues extremely dull for middling qualities, as the distillers are not buyers. Beans and Peas both remain as last stated. In Oats Monday's prices are demanded, and few sales effected. In the Flour trade there is little doing. ARRIVALS. Wheat. Barley. Oats.

St. Lucy was a virgin of great sanc tity and purity of life. She gave her whole fortune to the poor, that she might not be teazed by suitors, and particu larly to get rid of one, who, being vexed at his disappoint ment, accused her before Paschasius, a heathenjudge, who, because she was a Ckristian, put her to cruel tortures, un der which she fell a martyr in the year 305.

ISLINGTON CATTLE MARKET.—A public meet ing was advertised to be held at the Freemason's Tavern yesterday, at twelve o'clock, for the purpose of taking into consideration the best means of establishing the Islington as the great Metropolitan Market. This meeting was called in consequence of an alleged combination existing, by persons interested in upholding Smithfield Market, to in duce graziers and salesmen to decline transacting their busi ness at the New Cattle Market. At half-past one o'clock, not more than 50 persons were present, and these gentlemen becoming impatient, a gentleman of the name of Dawson was induced to take the chair, who announced to the meet ing that letters nad been received from Earl Fitzwilliam and Mr. Pyrn, regretting that business of importance prevented them being present, as also numerous other gentlemen fa vourable to the new establishment. These circumstances, together with that of a large public meeting of agricul turists having taken place at the same hour, at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, induced the Chairman to recommend that the meeting should stand adjourned until some more convenient opportunity should present itself, which recom mendation was adopted, after an ineffectual attempt on the part of Mr. Wells (Cambridgeshire) to explain how he should act, in the event of being elected a Common Coun cilman for one of the City wards. The meeting then broke up. _ _ The Southwark Literary Society gave their first conversazione on Monday night, which was very numerously and elegantly attended, although the weather was unfa vourable. Two papers were read during the evening, ono on Spontaneous Combustion, by Mr. Statham ; the other on the Laocoon, by Mr. Meryon : both of which excited considerable interest. The walls of the Society's apart ments were covered with valuable paintings by the princi pal masters, both ancient and modern, and the display of rare and costly articles of natural production, and of vertu, was very great. The company, after being entertained by some excellent music, by professors and amateurs, departed at a late hour, apparently highly gratified. The Bunker Hill Aurora says an old lady whose care of her only son, in his younger days, was far from be ing oppressive, recently experienced the sad consequences in his elopement. While a friend was endeavouring to con sole her, she said, " I've often thought on this passage of scripture, but never thought I should realize it—' Train up a child and away he'll go!'

OPERA BUFFA.—LYCEUM THEATRE.—There is no reason why a minor Italian opera company should not hope to be successful in London, provided it be managed with judgment. The attractions of the King's Theatre, while of the highest description, have also been specially reserved for those who could habitually pay the highest price for the gratification of resorting to it. To the great body of our respectable population it has consequently been a luxury, purchasable at too dear a price, and therefore to be altogether relinquished. We look at this Opera Br ffa as it is called at the Lyceum, as an effort to remedy the evil, and take advantage of the goods the gods provide us. Mr. Mitchel, with M. Puzzi, have made themselves the in struments of this desirable consummation, and we do hope they will succeed. On Saturday night the first experiment was made in their undertaking. The opera was Donizetti's Elisir d'Amore ("a jocose melodrame," the best of all me lodrames), and it was supported by Mademoiselle Blasis, Signori Catone, and Bellini. The music is worthy of Doni zetti, and proves bow agreeable, graceful, and masterly, he can be, in composing even for so trifling a subject. Made moiselle Blasis played and sang in Adina, the heroine. Ma demoiselle Blasis was a favourite at the King's Theatre " some six years ago, or perhaps it was more." She does not look younger now, but she is still not less agreeable. Her voice is a pure soprano, and where she does not attempt intricate ornament, her singing is exceedingly pleasing from its good taste and good feeling. There was no ballet or after-piece on Saturday night, but this must be, and we un derstand will be, amended. " God save the King," was sung after the opera, and we must say, in much of its true spirit, by Blasis and Catone. On Tuesday week, Mr. Edlington, of Haxley Grange, being in want of some gunpowder, sent his boy to Haxley to purchase a pound of it. The morninc , being very rainy, the powder got wet ; and, in order to dry it as speedily as possible, he thoughtlessly and incautiously put the greater part of the powder into the oven for the pur pose of drying it. It soon exploded with, of course, tre • mendous force. The oven was shivered to pieces : one of the fragments struck Mr. Edlington's thigh, laceratinc , it very considerably : another struck his sister, and broke her arm. Every door about the house was broken off the hinges ; the glass was forced out of all the windows, ex cepting only the kitchen and dairy ; and one of the parti tion walls was very much bilged. Some of the glass was found more than twenty yards from the house. The kitchen door was fortunately open at the moment of the explosion, or, in all probability, part, if not the whole, of the house would have been destroyed, and the loss of life in evitable.—Doncaster Gazette. According to the Greenock Advertiser, the recen meeting of his constituents by Lord William Bentinck, gives but an imperfect view of the opinions of the people of Glasgow. " The Hall where it took place will not con tain more than 500 people, whereas the Parliamentary con stituency, according to the latest return, amounts to 8,733. But the meeting consisted of non-electors as well as elec tors ; and, of course, its proceedings can afford no idea of the views of the population of a city containing about 240,000 inhabitants. The political party must be small indeed that could not muster, in Glasgow, numbers suffi cient to fill the Justiciary Hall. From all we can learn Lord William has gained by his visit ; and although Mi nisters are condemned with equal virulence by those who would uphold every abuse, and those who would overturn every institution, yet they have lost nothing of their popula rity among the friends of safe and practical reform, who, we are happy to say, constitute a large majority of the consti tuency of Scotland. The meeting between Lord William Bentinck and his constituents indicates nothing more than that there are in Glasgow, as well as in most other places, a party who wish to go a great deal farther than his Ma jesty's present Ministry, or any other Cabinet likely to be entrusted with the Government of the British empire." A DUCHESS'S REVENGE.—Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, had still, at an advanced age, considerable re mains of beauty, most expressive eyes, and the finest fair hair imaginable ; the colour of which she said she had pre served unchanged by the constant use of honey-water— hardly such as perfumers now sell, for that has an unlucky aptitude to turn the hair grey. By this superb head of hair hung a tale, an instance of her waywardness and violence, which (strange to say) she took particular pleasure in tel ling. None of her charms, when they were at their proudest height, had been so fondly prized by the poor Duke, her husband. Therefore, one day, upon his offending her by some act of disobedience to her " strong sovereign will,"the bright thought occurred, as she sate considering how she could plague him most, that it would be a hearty vexation to see his favourite tresses cut off. Instantly the deed was done ; she cropped them short and laid them in an ante chamber he must pass through to enter her apartment. But, to her cruel disappointment, he passed, entered, and repassed, calm enough to provoke a saint ; neither angry nor sorrowful ; seemingly quite unconscious both of his crime and his punishment. Concluding he must have over looked the hair, she ran to secure it. Lo ! it had vanished, — and she remained in great perplexity the rest of the day. The next, as he continued silent, and her looking-glass spoke the change, a rueful one, she began for once to think she had done rather a foolish thing. Nothing more ever tran spired upon the subject until after the Duke's death, when she found her beautiful ringlets carefully laid by in a cabi net, where he kept whatever he held most precious : and at this point of the story she regularly fell a crying.—Lord Wharnelife's Correspondence of Lady Mary TV. Montague. On Friday morn i ng a robbery to the am ount of be tween 400/. and 500/., and of a character quite as myste rious as any of the numerous plunders of late at the west end, was perpetrated at the house of Mrs. Booth, 6, Hert ford-street, Park-lane. The cook on coming down stairs discovered the drawing-room in the greatest disorder, the locks of drawers, boxes, Sze., having been forced, and the chief portion of their contents abstracted. The parlour had also been rifled in a similar way. The property con sisted of plate, jewellery, Sze. Prior to leaving the pre mises the thieves regaled themselves with meat from the larder, but it is supposed they were in some way disturbed, as numerous articles were lying about, which were intended, no doubt, to be packed up with the rest of the plunder. No marks indicating a forcible entry are apparent. "DE vi L."—A Methodist preacher, at South Shields, last Sunday, after remarking on the appropriateness of the above cognomen to the person designated by it , added , " The whole name is bad ; if we take away the first letter, it is evil ; take away another letter, it is vile ; take away the next letter, it is ill ; and the last letter itself has the sound of Hell."—Shields Obserevr. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, DEC. 13. LEVI V. PRENDERGAST. In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we went to press, the LORD CHANCELLOR thought that the order of the Master of the Rolls must be overruled, and the injunction dismissed. ROLLS COURT, DEC. 13. DAVIES V. GATACRE. Mr. PEMBERTON appeared in this case on behalf of the plaintiff. The bill was filed in aid of an action at law by the plaintiff, who claimed as tenant in tail of a certain es tate under a settlement made in 1721. His estate in posses sion occurred in 1824 upon the death without issue of the te nant in tail then entitled. In 1827 the plaintiff commenced an action of ejectment, upon which the defendants, who were in possession of the property, got in an outstanding term of 300 years, which was created under the deed of 1721. This, of course, rendered it impossible for the plaintiff to proceed with his action of ejectment, and accordingly it became necessary to file a bill to have the impediment in way of the legal right removed by the assistance of a Court of Equity. The defendants rested their claims upon this ground. They alleged that the plaintiff was not The tenant in tail of the property, because certain entails prior to those limited in favour of his ancestors had not failed ; in short, they alleged that there was a prior tenant in tail, who suffered a recovery, and from whom their (the defendants') ancestor purchased in 1784. His Lordship postponed the further hearing of the argu ment till to-morrow. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DEC. 13. LONG V. M`CABE. This was an action which the plaintiff had brought to recover a compensation in damages for the expenses to which she had been put by an injury she had suffered in consequence of the defendant's negligence. The plaintiff was an elderly lady, who resided with her sister, Mrs. Schofield, and her nephew, Captain Rankin, the gentleman who made such a courageous defence of his aunt's house against the Chipstead burglars, at Mont House, near Chip stead, Surrey. The defendant was a watch and clock maker, residing in Cheapside. On the 18th of February last the plaintiff had come to town upon some business, and she went in the evening of that day with her nephew to the shop of the defendant, her nephew desiring to leave his watch there to be repaired. They went into the shop just about six o'clock, when it had become dark. Now there were scarcely any lights in the shop, and there was a trap door in it which was open. The plaintiff unfortunately stepped into the hole, and was precipitated a depth of ten feet into the cellar below. She was instantly taken up, and carried up stairs into the shop ; and the defendant then afforded the plaintiff every attention in his power. But the accident bad occurred through his negligence, and the attentions which he then bestowed could not prevent the in.. tolerable pain which the plaintiff was then suffering. Sh e was taken to an inn in the Borough, and shortly afterward s went down to her own house at Chipstead, where she re_ mained for some time in a very weak state. Witnesses were then called to prove these facts. Sir F. POLLOCK, for the defendant, said there was no one who more than his client regretted the unfortunate oc currence which had made the plaintiff suffer the pain of which she now complained. But her sufferings were not attributable to the negligence of the defendant. There was a labour necessary to be performed in all tradesmen's shops once in a day, that was the labour of putting up the shutters. That labour was being performed at the moment when the plaintiff and her nephew entered the shop. The defendant had behaved after the accident with every atten tion to the plaintiff. This accident was not owing to the defendant's negligence, but to the plaintiff's incaution. The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 161. 4s. 3d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, DEC. 13. ATTWOOD V. HANCOCK. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, Messrs. Charles and Benjamin Attwood, extensively engaged in the glass trade, against the Sheriff of the town and county of Poole, in Dorsetshire, to recover compensation in damages for losses which they alleged themselves to have sustained from the defendant having failed in his duty in regard to the execution of a writ.—The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE summed up, and the Jury found for the plaintiff—Da mages, Is. EXCHEQUER COURT, DEC. 13. SMITH V. ROBINSON. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for injuries sustained by plaintiff, in consequence of the careless and negligent driving of defendant's son. The plaintiff was a builder, reiding in Watling street, the de fendant a farmer at Crawley, in Sussex. The plaintiff, on the 3d of September last, had occasiou to go to Brighton, and was proceeding on his way in a one-horse chaise, ac companied by his wife and child. About four miles be yond Croydon, at the left-hand side of the road, is a train ing house for horses, with a green sward outside, where they are exercised. Upon arriving at the spot plaintiff saw defendant's son approaching in a one-horse cart, with three young women in it, and, notwithstanding all his en deavours to avoid it, the cart came in contact with the gig, tore away the wheel, broke the shafts, and threw plain tiff with his wife and child headlong upon the ground. The harness was injured, his wife was thrown under the mare, which trampled upon her chest. She returned to town to obtain medical advice, and continued for a long time un well. The gig had been sent for repairs to a coach fac tory, and the mare had ever since became vicious and less valuable. The defendant upon the record admitted the facts, and paid money into Court. The question which the jury had to decide was the amount of loss sustained by the plaintiff. The jury found for the defendant. ADMIRALTY COURT-DEC. 13. THE SUSANNAH-SALVAGE. This, which is a suit for salvage, is promoted by the masters and crews of the Liberty, Eagle, and other smacks, against the owners of the sloop Susannah. There is great discrepancy in the testimony of the parties, it being con tended on behalf of the alleged salvors that the Susannah, Captain Brown, master, while on a voyage from Colches ter to London, laden with corn, flour, and similar produce on the 23d of September of the present year, struck on the Maplin Sand---that the masters and crews of the smacks went off in the Liberty's boat to render assistance, and got her afloat—that she proceeded on her voyage, but through not keeping a proper luff again struck on the Buck say Sand—that the salvors then went on board of her and discovered that she had sprung a leak, having been pricked by her anchor in her larboard bows, and that they stopped the leak, and through their assistance i slie was enabled to continue her course. This was the story told on behalf of the salvors ; but the witnesses on the other side denied that the Susannah ever struck on the Malpin Sand, and stated that she went purposely ashore on the Bucksey Sand to repair the hole that had been made by the anchor—that the alleged salvors then came up, but that Captain Brown refused their assistance. The ship and cargo were valued at 5501. The COURT, after hearing counsel, decreed that the pe tition of the salvors should be dismissed, with costs. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, DEC. 13. William Peter Broughton, formerly of the Marine -pa rade, Dover, and late of Clarges-street, Pi cca dilly, book seller, whose case was reported on a former occasion, came up for adjudication. In this case the question was the con tracting of a debt with one of the opposing creditors, and the manner in which the insolvent had disposed of his pro perty, to the injury of his creditors. Mr. Commissioner BOW EN gave judgment, by remanding the insolvent for a period of ten calendar months, for a fraudulent disposition of his property. The CHAIRMAN was disposed to grant the motion, and to put the warrant s into the hands of the police directly, as they were of course best acquainted with the premises. But he must of course have a communication with Colonel Rowan to ascertain whether he thought such a course would be proper. At present, therefore, he did not feel justified in assenting to the motion until lie had consulted with the Co lonel. He was very strongly convinced of the expediency of warrants of this description being executed by the police, because it would put an end to the system with which gaining -house prosecutions were at present carried on. The COURT then directed that the bench warrants be is sued and placed in the hands of the inspector of police al luded to, to put into execution. THE KING V. LEWIS AND ANOTHER. This was a prosecution carried on by Mr. Charles Perry against the defendants, for keeping a common gambling house. Mr. Perry addressed the Chairman, and said that he had not been able to apprehend the defendants, which would not have been the case if the warrants had been in the hands of the police. The Chairman directed that Mr. Perry should inform himself more particularly upon the sub ject, as he understood one of the parties had been appre hended. Mr. Perry admitted that Levy Leman had been taken. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Robert Wheeler, aged forty-one, and George Wilson, aged twenty-six, were indicted for feloniously stealing a leaden pump, a copper, and other articles, the property of the trustees of the charity of Sir John Cass. Several w itnesses were called, who proved that Wheeler was a builder. The Jury. after a short consultation, found Whe e l er guilty, and acquitt e d Wil son . The prisoner was then called up fir judgment, and the Recorder passed sentence of transportation for seven years ; at the same time informing the prisoner, he should f ee l i t to be his duty to recommend to his Majesty's Government the propriety of sending him to one of th e pena l settle ments, and to be placed in a chain-gang. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-TUESDAY. The Grand Jury having returned a true bill against Jo seph Sher wood and two other persons for keeping a common gaming-house at No. 5, Pickering -street, St. James's-street, Mr. PRENDERGAST moved the Court that Bench war- POLICE INTELLIGENCE. UNION- HALL. A man named Mycrs was charged with shooting his neighbour's cat, a fine animal of the real tortoieshell breed. The complainant's wife came forward, and with loud sobs and the tears flowing from her eyes bewailed the loss of her mouser, saying that it was one of the most affectionate animals in the creation, and that she would rather have suf fered the loss of 50/. than to hare been deprived of it by the cruel manner in which its death was effected. She then entered into a detail of her favourite's good qualities, and said that in fact nothing would recompense her for its loss. Defendant—All Mrs. Davis wants is to see me hartged for killing her cat, but I trust that she will be disappointed in her hopes. He then complained of the annoyances to which he and his family had long been subjected by the wan dering freaks of this cat. The MAGISTRATE said that it did not appear that the animal had committed such injury as to justify its having met with a violent death at the hands of the defendant. Mrs. Davis (sobbing)—The wretch ought to be served in the same way that he served my cat. No money or im prisonment inflicted on him will satisfy me for my loss. Oh, my dear cat.—(Laughter.) The defendant said that ever since the cat had been put out of the way in the manner described neither he or his fa mily had a moment's peace, Mrs. Davis being in the constant habit of kicking up such rows about it, and threatening to serve them all out in the same way. Mrs. Davis again began to expatiate on the docility and honesty of her cat, and to inveigh bitterly against its de stroyer, when the Magistrate decided the case by inflicting a fine of 10s. and costs on the defendant. MADAME MALIBRAN'S MOTHER.—Madame Garcia, the aged mother of the late Madame Malibran de Beriot, arrived here on Thursday, from Brussels, the ob ject of her long journey being to endeavour to obtain the disinterment of the remains of her lamented daughter. She left De Beriot (with whom she has resided since his mar riage with Malibran, and whom she represents as the most affectionate of men) in an alarming state of illness, which has reduced him nearly to the condition of a skeleton. He suffers seriously from a violent cough, accompanied by spit ting of blood. His distress of mind is described as intense, and would seem to have been greatly aggravated by the op position rendered to the claims he has made for the disin terment of his wife's ashes. A day or two before Madame Garcia quitted Brussels, his continuedindisposition of body, and rapidly increased depression of mind, induced her to determine upon the painful journey to England, in the hope that her influence, as the mother of the deceased Malibran, the still near relative of De Beriot, and the grandmother of his motherless child, might lead to the accomplishment of his ardent wishes.—Manchester Times. Richard Westall, the Royal Academician, died last Sunday week, in one of the suburban villages on the banks of the Thames. For half a century this artist has occupied a large portion of public attention. He was the first who made finished pictures in water-colours of historical and poe tical subjects. " Sappho in the Lesbian Shades chaunting the Hymn of Love ;" " Tuba!, the First Voice of the Lyre ;" " The Boar that killed Adonis brought to Venus ;" " The Storm in Harvest ;" " The Marriage Procession (from the Shield of Achilles)," and many others, must be in the recol lection of persons old enough to have visited the exhibitions of the Royal Academy thirty or forty years ago. These were followed by a complete series of pictures in water-co lours, for the works of Milton, published by Alderman Boy 'dell. But his exertions were not confined to water colours ; he painted many large pictures, one of which, for the Shak speare Gallery, " Cardinal Wolsey seeking refuge in the Abbey of Leicester," is in the recollection of every body, from the curious and elaborate engraving of Robert Thew. For many years Mr. Westall has been employed to illus trate books. All the standard works in literature, as well as many ephemeral publications, have received embellish ment at his bands. His last occupation was to give lessons in drawing and painting to the Princess Victoria ; and how effective have been those lessons the very beautiful drawings of his royal pupil abundantly prove. Mr. Westall was a poet as well as a painter. A volume of poems, published some 30 years ago, show that his attainments in literature were above the ordinary stamp. Will it be believed that this distinguished. artist in his old age has been reduced to penury and distress ? We have heard, and we have no reason to doubt the fact, that he was obliged, a few days before his death, to petition the Royal Academy for the supplies necessary to secure to his last moments the common comforts of which his frame, enfeebled by age and disease, stood in so great need. The case of Richard Westall will be recorded as another melancholy instance of the improvi dence of genius ! _ _ Monday morning last, as Samuel Barker, the sexton and grave-digger of Dedham, had nearly finished digging a grave ten feet deep, a groat quantity of earth from each side of the grave suddenly caved in and completely buried him. The accident was discovered by a man named Hitch cock, who about eight o'clock, was passing through the churchyard on his way home to breakfast, when curiority led him to go and look at the grave ; he then discovered that the earth had fallen in as above described. On a sud den he heard a groan as if coming from a distance, and a few seconds the groan was repeated. He immediately sus• pected it to proceed from under the loose earth, and sup posing the grave-digger might have been accidentally bu ried, he called out, " Sam, are you there ?" when he dis tinctly heard another groan that satisfied him that his sus picions were not ill-founded. He immediately raninto the street, and gave the alarm, and in a very short time a con siderable number of the inhabitants were at the spot, and every exertion was used to clear the loose earth out of the grave, but it was nearly twenty minutes before the body of the unfortunate man was extricated. It was found in a stooping position, and lifeless. The melancholy circum stance has created a great sensation in the nei g hb our h oo d . Barker was 45 years of age ; he has left a w id ow an d fi ve children to bewail their untimely loss.— Ch e l ms f or d C h ron . Last Thursday evening, between 11 and 12 o'clock, the schooner Egton, Captain De La Farrelle, from New cHasetrlme,itlaagdeenanwdithociozaablse,tbhocttlaesst,le&. c" ran ashore between the It appears that, owing to the darkness of the night, the master mistook the bear ing of some of the lights on the north pier, which made him believe he was to the s ou th war d o f t h e Oy s t er R oc k s, at the entrance of the Small Roads, and consequently sup posad he was steering straight for those roads, when the vessel grounded, as above mentioned. As soon as the tide would permit, Capt. Si nc l a i r , o f the Royal A r till ery , w h o is stationed at the Castle, sent a party of his men to give all the assistance in their power. In the course of the night about twenty tons of coals were thrown overboard, in the hope that, by thus easing the vessel, she would float off the next tide. On Friday, however, it was found necessary to take out about thirty tons more ; a n d even th en , it was not till Saturday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, that, with great exertions she was floated off from her very perilous situation, and safely brought into the harbour.—Jersey Argus. As Mr. Nogg Was going to Glastonbury on Tues day week , during the heavy gale, he saw the mill of Mr. William Jones, miller and farmer, tottering, and afterwards fall with a dreadful crash. He instantly jumped off his horse, and ran to the ruins, where he found Mr. and Mrs. Jones struggling amongst the broken timber and rubbish. Mr. Mogg extricated them, but Mr. Jones was so dread fully injured that he almost instantly expired. Mrs. Jones although much hurt, is likely to recover. On Thursday an inquest was held on the body of the unfortunate man, and a verdict of " Accidental Death" wa s re t urne d. An Inquest was held at Brighton on Friday week, on the body of Sarah May, a fine young woman, who met met her death under the following distressing circumstances. She had been in the habit of attending a chapel of the per suasion of the late Rev. E. Irving, and had become ac quainted with several individuals belonging to that estab lishment. These gloomy fanatics so wrought on the poor girl's mind, that she became deranged, and, during the paroxysms of her disorder, would rave in the unknown tongue. Miss Ravenscroft, a lady in whose service she lived as lady's maid, thinking a change of scene would do her good, sent her to the house of one of the elders,wb.ere,. instead of getti ng b e tt er , s h e grew w orse, and, on Wednes day morning became so violent as to r equire . several persons to hold her, in which dreadful state she expired. The Jury, returned as their verdict, " Died by the visitation of God," but expressed their regret and surprise that no medical aid. had been resorted to. 3, St. James's-square, Dec. 14.
