Sir Robert W. Carden then divided amongst the poor

Lean, the money which had been transmitted to the alder-
man for their assistance, and they then took their lean to
prepare to take their berths in a government tassel.

liAtera Freiman, • demure-iooking person, about 20
pews of age, who had bees charged with having robbed •
lady of her purse is an omnibus stew days ago, was brought
up for farther examination.
The lady stated that the woman, who was the only person
near her, sat close to her ; that a man, who evidently wu
acquainted with the prisoner, was on the opposite side, and
that so doubt the female thief handed the puree to her male
confederate, who rot out of the omnibus just beans the
puns was missed. Then were two men on the top of the
omnibus who were, to the knowledge of the conductor, of
the same pasty.
The Lord Mayor said be regretted to be obliged, foe want
of the evideaco necessary to convict so daagerou • &ba-
wler, to discharge her.
The prisoner, who had her solicitor ready for the alter-
native, smiled, and retired from the bar.

A few weeks ago a young woman named Dunn was
charged at this court with having attempted self-destruction
by means of oxalic acid, and the eircumatanees attending
the rash act—destitution being the priasry cause—having I
been mentioned in the newspapers, many charitable ladies
and gentlemen sent money to the magistrates to be applied
for her benefits About a fortnight back, the accused haw-'
ion then recovered from the effects of the poison, was told by
Mr. Genie that his bad in hand 'sufficient sum to able her
to emigrate, if she was so inclined; and the girl choosing
Boeton, America, where she had relatives, u her destine.
tion, Mr. Baylis, the chief usher, was directed to make the
necessary gements to forward her views. No sooner
had it been announced that the girl would have goll in
hand to land—free of expense, so tar as she was concerned
—in a foreign country, than numerous fortune-hunters
made love by letters to her offering marriage, kappiness,and
bliss of every description; and these flattering wishes reach-
ing the can of the magistrate mentioned, he took sere that
she should not be tricked ; and Mr. Baylis, in the course of
his inquiries, ascertained that some of the writers of the
loving epistles are the merest vagabonds to be found in the
metropolis.
Mr. Baylis stated on Saturday that he had defeated the
numerous speculator', and had made every arrangement
for the comfort of the girl in her voyage to America, and he
believed she was truly grateful for the mercies which had
been extended to her.

L All BET 11.
RicAard Perry, who had been in custody since Sunday
last, on the charge of causing the death of his wife, was
again placed at the bar for funfair examination.
Sergeant Ilarmsworth, of the C division of pollee, in-
formed the cogistrat• that the coroner's jury, who had in-
vestigated ibis wow loading to the death of the deceased
on Wedamollay nondag last, bad returned a verdict of "Ac-
cidental commodes 'fibs brain from a fa:l, while in a state
. of intoxication."

Mr. Thomps 311. the surgeon, who had made a poetoisorrem
examination of the body of the deceased, said the immediate
cause of death was a concussion of the brain, produced, he
had no doubt, by a fall. In reply to the questions of the
magistrate, the witness said he did not think that a fall on
the floor was sufficiently violent to produce the injuries
causing the death, and was of opinion that they had been
occasioned by a fail down stairs.
George Mitchell, the landlord of the house in which the
prisoner sad the dettemeed lodged, was next called, and, in
reply to the waglatratali questions, said that himself and
his wife slept la Ile ream adder that occupied by the pri.
soner and his wife. On thstazday tight be distinctly heard
the prisoner and the deceased abase one another, and it ap-
peared to him that the fuser was in bed at the time, and
that the latter erne net. He next beard something fall
heavily on the deer—he had to doubt one or the other of
them—and than all hum twist and still. In about ten
or fifteen minutes after the eases wee broke' by the pri-
soner putting his sheep ea dad awing clowa to the first

Tux MARTLEBONE BURIAL OROUNDS.—On Satur-
day, at a meeting of the Idarylebons Ves', Ur. Nodes
brought forward a resolation, of which be bad given notice,
for the appointment of a committee to inquire into the pre-
sent condition of the burial grounds of the pariah. He ob-
served that great dissatisfaction wee manifested amongst the
natis-payers at the way in which the dead wen buried, and
be believed that past dewier might resale if something
wise lest bee wf Nepal to the gravelled, of that parish.
At ft. .ishalsirsed burial passed, whops a grave ef six
feet:was paid Nr, ths parties ably gat bar has. This did
not arise from west of ground, but ban eineselluses to
which he would set at that aim* au* For it was
quite certain that at that owasiat there was fa the St.
John's-woed burial ground etlU neeemmodation for 3,000
people. TWA there was Padidnitemetnot burial ground,
which was sapwood to have boss aimed two or three years
beak, but only year he could frees than wan kora 142
to 160 bodies boded in it. There aught to be some
steps taken to supply the nommlise el the parish in
this as he. * este* mud laetio leer tte
utterer
=n-Yr. taasn eeeoaded the resolution.—
Kr. Harden supported the motion for a committee. He
considered St. John's-wood Cemetery to be in a most dia-
graosful state, and this at a time when there was a great
deal of the ground wholly unused. From the burping
bodies so close to the surface, the stench was at times almost
unbearable. He did hops that some steps would be taken
promptly, either by the appointment of • committee or
otherwise, to remedy the evils complained of.—The Chair-
man said the attention of the public had been drawn to the
state of St. John's-wood burial-ground by a leading article
in a morning paper, and he thought it right to offer, there-
fore, one cr two observationsto disabuse the public mind
on the subject Some years since, in deference to public
opinion, the burial-ground on one side of Paddington-street
was entirely dosed ; but, so far Si St. John's-wood burial-
ground was concerned, there was no such necessity, as
there was ample accommodation for years. The latter was
to all intents sad purposes an extramural cemetery, and if,
because parties chose to come and build villas and houses in
its environs, as they had done at Highgate, Kensall-green,
and Norwood, let them select a plot of ground where they
pleased, the same would be done by builders, and then, for
the same reason, they might be continually called upon to
close their burial-grounds. Ile believed that the result of
the committee of inquiry would be to satisfy the vestry and
the public Wad that there was still sufficient ground at St.
John's-wood to bury tho dead with decency, without in-
jury to the living.—The resolution was then canied, and
the committee appointed.
EIGHT LIVES LOST OFF THE COAST.—ABERTST-
Venn, Sere. 24.—A coroner's inquiry bar just concluded
continuing • most deplorable accident which happened at
Aberaeron, near here, which terminated in tho Imo( eight
lives. In the course of Tuesday morning a number of per-
sons were out at sea in a schooner, which was built in the
neighbourhood a few weeks ago, on a trial trip ; and on return-
ing to the bay, two boats, ono containing nine persons and
the other fifteen left the vessel for the ahem. They had
not proceeded 'far before the one conveying the nine, in
potting about, capsized, sad threw the whole of its unfor-
tunate occupants into the water. The other boat endea-
voured to reach the poor creature', but its crowded state
prevented its being got near them in time to save their line.
With the exception of one, a little boy, who was an expert
swimmer, the whole of them perished. Borneo( the sufferer
were married men, and have left large families to lament
their loos. The jury returned • verdict of " Accidental
death." The melmeholy event created mach sensation in
the district.
