DESTRUCTION OF Two SNIPS BY FlRR.—lufor-
mation was received at Lloyd's, on Saturday, of the de.
struction of two ships by fire. One was a well-known ship,
the Cotteaux Wattel,which took fire while putting her cargo
on board, in the port of Sydney, on the 4th of May.
Attempts were made to scuttle the ship
.and sink her in
deep water, hut without effect. The origin of the fire is
involved in sonic mystery. The second mate had recently
been discharged ; he wasapprehended on suspicion of setting
fire to the ship. He was then examined at a police office
and committed for trial. The other vessel destroyed was
the Sea Serpent, belonging to Hull, which left Paraiba for
Liverpool on the 12th of Kay, and on the afternoon of the
19th she took fire. A whaling ship came up a few hours
afterwards, and remained by her until she was about to
sink, when the crew left their ship and took the whaler.
The Sea Serpent was very soon inflames from stem to stern.
MURDER or A FEMALE NEAR DARTFORD.-011
Saturday afternoon, Sir Percival Hart Dyke, Bart, and •
bench of magistrates, assembled in Petty Semiens, at Dart-
ford, for the purpose of examining into a charge preferred
against John Grainger, now a m•tser in Maidstone gaol,
on • charge of musing the daith of • female named Cordelia
Covell. From the evidence previously taken, it appeared
the prisoner and the deceased woman had lived together for
a period of thirteen years, and a few days since the latter
suddenly disappeered. The prisoner, who was greatly en-
raged at her desertion, met with her at Bexley-heath, she
at that time being in company with another man. The
prisoner at once addressed her, and by his persuasion she
was induced to accompany him on the road towards Dart-
fool. Shortly afterwards a quarrel was comma need by the
prisoner, who thereupon commenced kicking and otherwise
ill using her, so much so that on arriving at a place
called Crockenh ill she was suffering so severely from
the violence she hail received that a surgeon had to be
sent for, but the poor woman never rallied, and
shortly afterwards expired. The prisoner, who managed to
leave the place at that inie, was apprehended on the fol-
lowing day, and when told that the woman was dead, he
replied to the constablewho had him in custody, " 1 know
I killed her, and 1 must suffer for it." Upon these facts
being deposed to, the prisouer was remanded to enable •
post.morirst examination of the body to be made, and the
evidence to be completed ; but when the case was now re-
called for hearing, it was announced that an inquest had
been held on the body of the deceased by a coroners jury,
who had returned a verdict of " Walla Murder" agaiust
the accused, upon which the coroner (Mr. C. F. Canter)
had issued his warrant, and that in consequence of receiv-
ing this warrant for his detention, the governor of Maid-
stone gaol had declined giving the man up to the custody
of the constable when applied for. The magistrates coin-
pinned of this proceeding, inasmuch as the inquiry held
before the coroner had taken place in the absence of the
accused, who was in consequence debarred from the upper.
tunity of putting questions to the witnesses examined, or
catering into any explanation ; and it was intimated that
au application would be made to the Secretary of State for
the prisoner to be brought before the magistrates and to
have the case publicly completed against him.
