SUSPECTED It'RDER.—An inquest was held at the
New Inn, East Coker, on Sunday afternoon lost, on the body
of Mary Hein. the wile of a weaver, whose death had oc
curred on the previous Wednesday night. It appeared from
the evidesee of three women, neighbours of the deceased,
that they were called upon by George II sin, her husband, at
half past 10 on Wednesday night, who told them hie wile
was dead. They found her in Ised on her back, quite deed,
with marks of violence on her neck, and bet face de clourcil.
The hurib..nil wu undressed, and had one of his children in
kis arm. ; but the bed did not appear as if he had been
is it. Dr. Nesbitt, of Tiord, described to the jury the
result of a post nwrteas examination of the body, Irons
which it appeared that ciongtation o' the vessels of the heart,
lungs, and brain existed, and hat ceased death, and from the
other aNearancce of the body it was his opiumn that this could
net have happened without external el.& rice ; he had
not, however, observed goy marks of violence on the
body, bat he thought these might have been visible had the
examination been made earlier.—Toe jury, aft. r del beret
ing for hell* an hour, returned a verdict uf Willa! murder"
against Giorge Hain, and he was committed, under the
coroner's warrant, for trial at the next as•ises. He earucetly
proti sled his innocence, and add he did not fear the trial.

wife is described to have been a very inoffensive woman,
about 30 years of age, and has left three children —The
Csroncr explained that he held the inquest on Sunday
owing to the excitement that prevailed in the place, and
the necessity of burying the body without further delay.
SURREY.

---
THE EAST SURREY AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION
held their annual meeting on Wednesday at Croydon. G.
R Smith, Esq., of Selsdon, presided. Mr. Locke King,
M.P. for this division of the county, was present, and said
now that the British farmer bad to oppose the whole
world he thought it but lair that he should not be opposed
by any monopoly, and that he ought to grow what crop. he
pleased, or whatever he might think likely to prove most
advantageous to him. Ile did no see why thry should not
grow tohteeo in this country, that article at prts?nt being
entirely slave grown. lie also thought that the growth to
hops ought not to be under so many restrictions as et pre-
sent. Some gentlemen might think there wax a great difficulty
in A. way in the shape of a Cnancellor of the Exchequir,
but he believed this might be got over. He threw these out
as merely crude suggeetions at present, but he believed they
might be worth consideration. On one point he believer
they were all agreed, that it wu absolutely necessary for
something to be &toe to better the condition of the agricul-
tural Lebow ers, and the most effectual way to do this was by
improving the land. It was all very will to talk of the
benefit that was derived him draining, cutting down
hedges, having proper farm buildings, a.id various other
things, but why should the tenant be expected to make all
these permanent improvements to the land. He rallied them
permanent improvements, for he did not are how they could
be looked upon in any ether light; and in his opinion it was
the landowner who ought to mike them and not the tenant.
There was plenty of what he might krill the raw material of
improvement—the able-bodied labourers of England (their
country's pride)—to be obtained, and he malt say that the
Landowner who neglected to make use of it under the exist
ing circumstances of the country incurred a great respon-
sibility.

WOOLWICH, JUNE 2 -The Admiralty have, it is
said, ordered • series of roc/ern-et. to take place with the

Is gained by loading the safety valve of boilers beyond a certain
extent. Several steamers will be tried, and their boilers loaded
at 1010., 12th.. and 2lb. to the square Inch; and if the lass of
specs! on a reduction of from 20th. to 101 b. Is not considerable. the
pressure on the boilers of all the packets will be reduced to the latter
sum. Their lordahips have streatly redeem that the pressure on the
boilers of all the Dover mail steamers shall he redoeed to lop,. on th..
.I.llLre trreb, WS they appear to jive an i et nla ing worked
at a higher pressure. it is well known that, in order to gain any
effectual increase of speed in a steamer, an immense addition must be
made to her existing pressure, a practice which, though it may add a
knot or • knot end a half per hoar to her roved, Is not unattended
with danger, and is in the highest degree destructive to the boilers
and machinery of the vessel.
