ISIstoRALITT on PoIITHIOUTIL It wan stated
by Lord William Pullet, at the annual meeting of the
Soldiers' Institute, teat week, that an officer be I lately
been sent by the government to visit Portsmouth, and he
had taken • plan of the town, and bed dotted with Mask
all the brothels and public-houses in the place. The result
was that the map was as full of dots as was the hoe of •
man who bad been severely attacked by smallpox. He
(Lord Panlet) had never seen such a map, but the fact ha
had mentioned would lead them to imagine the pied
difficulty in keeping soldiers oat of such places.—Wed
Sussex Gazette.
Erreaoaturra.av Dears.—On Tuesday evening
Mr. Bedford, the coroner, held an inquest at the Pine-
apple Tavern, Wedbourne-street, Pimlico, on the body
of :Eizabeth M'Kew, aged 32, who loot her life on Wader•

Mrs. Seem Kerte, the housekeeper, said that the deceased
was • servant at the sane address. On Wednesday in
the deceased meet upstairs to clean • room. The winless
called her and could get no answer. She then weed
upstairs herself and saw the steps in the closet where
the cistern was, and • duster lying on the top. She we
frightened, and one for ansuitance. Deceased was tine
discovered in the cistern. She was taken out quite dead.
She had not been sent to clean the cistern, and had no Gem-
non to stand upon it for any purpose. A man named
Turner, • painter employed on the presents on Wednesday.
said that he found the deceased in the cistern and drew her
oat. There was about five feet six inch'', of waters
it at the time. Her head was downwards.
Brooker, 287 B, said, on Wednesday last he went with
his inspector to the place where the accident bad hap-
' penned. He examined the cistern, and found that when the
lid was drawn forward an opening 12 or 14 inches wide wee
left, through which any one might fell in. Mr. John
Charles Turner, surgeon, 30, Wilton-place, said he had
made • post marts= examination: and had no doubt the&
the deceased died from drowning. The coroner baring
summed up, the jury retuned a verdict of "Accidental
death," with a recommendation that the covering of the
enters* be attended to.
THIS BAILIFFS IN POINEISION OF THE BATH
POOR-LAW Oreice.—Our readers. or most of them, as
doubtless aware that by a resent legislative enactment
boards of guardians are precluded from paling any account
which has been due for more than three mouths previous to
the quarter-day before the time of the Ws presintatioa with-
out brat obtaining authority from the Poor-law commissioners
in London. Another statute, however, having referenos to
the income tax, requires the levying of the heaped ei d
amnia, if necessary. These two statutes have receutly
clashed, and caused some little amusement to the board
guardians and their clerk ; for several days during the
letter part of last week and beginning of this one of them
sever-to-be-desired functionaries, a bumbelliff," was is
attendance at the office of the board, in consequence of a
half-year's income tax due in respect to the board-races
and offices not beitg paid. The clerk had written
to the authorities in Loudon for authority to pay the
money before the obnoxious personage made his appear-
ance on the premises, but a reply had not come to hand.
The difficulty was met by • special meeting of the bead
being called on Monday, and by the clerk being directed to
pay the money under protest. But for this timely solution
of the affair there is little or no question that the "sticks'
of the guardians would have been taken in execution on
Tuesday morning.—Pleatera Coouttiet Herald.
