SUDDEN DEATH OF AN UNFORTUNATE Crlla.—Yesterday,
about two o'clock, an unfortunate girl, named Maria Lawler,
who was an inmate of a house in Spitalfields, dropped dead
in that street. She had not previously complained. An
inoLuest will be held on the body this day.
INSPECTOR FIELD AT ALLSOP'S WAX-WORK EXHIBITION.
—Every one who had seen Palmer, declare that his like-
ness at this establishment is the best that is extant, and a
day or two since, Mr. Field, the celebrated London officer,
on visiting the exhibition, was at once struck with the exact
likeness of that notorious person, and declared it to be the
most perfect he had ever beheld.—Adv.
CAUTION TO QUADRUPED OWNERS. —The proprietors of
a variety of dogs, pigs, asses, and other " vermin" (!) to a
large extent, were summoned before the magistrates
yesterday, for allowing these animals to perambulate the
public streets, much to the danger and annoyance of her
Majesty's " other loyal subjects !" Fines were inflicted in
all cases. (People ought to keep their asses and dogs at
home, particularly the latter, in this weather, if they don't
they will have to pay for their neglect.)
VIOLENT ASSAULT BY A FORElGNER.—Yesterday a
foreigner, named James De Court, was brought before Mr.
Mansfield, on a charge of having committed a violent assault
on a young woman, named Mary M'Coy, in Greenland-
street. The prisoner was playing a hurdy-gurdy, when the
complainant began to tease or annoy him, and, on this, he
toook up a stone, and struck her a terrible blow on the
head, which inflicted a dangerous wound. He was
remanded to this day, in order to get an Italian interpreter
to tell him the charge prefered.
Tax ERICSSON sailed from New York for Liverpool on
her appointed day, with seventeen passengers, of whom the

Mrs. Williams and child, New York; Mr. Buck, Canada ;
M. Madey, Mrs. Margaret Young and child, James H.
Morton, Brooklyn; Mr. Keysey, Philadelphia; Peter

CURIOUS MISTAKE ABOUT A BODY.—Yesterday, the coro-
ner held an inquest on the body of a fine young man, name
unknown, that was picked up in the river. Subsequently
the body was claimed as that of a young gentleman, named
Henry Augustus Hutstien, from Bristol, who was drowned
whilst bathing at Southport. His friends came and identi-
fied the body, which was interred at Edge-hill on Sunday.
On Monday last, however, it was discovered that a mistake
had been made as to the identity of the body, for that of the
gentleman named was found on the shore near the place
where he was drowned. Who the other was is still a
mystery.
Tau GREAT ORANGE CASE.—This case, which created
such a panic amongst the orange vendors, the details of
which have appeared from time to time in our police reports,
was positively brought to a close yesterday. Mr. McGowan
appeared on behalf of the health committee (before Mr.
Mansfield) at the police court, and Mr. Aspinalt, attorney,
for Messrs. Adams and Co. Both the learned gentlemen
made very long speeches, at the termination of which; in
parliamentary language, each felt perfectly satisfied with
the "explanation" of the other, and so (satisfactorily)
terminated this case to the apparent satisfaction of a couple
of dozen officers of health and a couple of dozen of orange
vendors.
THE WEATHER, although::not changed for the worse,
has undergone considerable alteration for the last 48 hours.
On Thursday there were several heavy showers, with inter-
vals of flue hot sunshine between them; and on Thursday
night and yesterday morning, there was a sharp gale of wind,
which continued, although moderated, throughout yesterday.
This was most welcome to the farmer, as it neutralised the
effect which the late rains might have had on the crops. We
learn from surrounding districts, that the harvest is pro-
gressing rapidly and satisfactorily, and that there is (through
Providence) every sign of an abundant yield in all sorts of
corn, and hardly any complaint in reference to the potato,
From Ireland very cheering accounts in reference to the
latter are daily received.
GRATITUDE.—A fine sailor-like looking boy, named Wil-
liam Hughes, between 13 and 14 years of age, camp before
Mr. Mansfield yesterday, and rendered him thanks for a
favour done him some twelve months ago. It appeared the
lad was destitute at the time stated, and that Mr. Mansfield,
with his characteristic good-nature and benevolence, procured
him a ship, gave him clothes, &c., and now the lad returned,
with a full and grateful heart, to thank his benefactor.
The lad had, however, in the interim, been wrecked ; but it
seemed he had since procured another ship, and, to alal
appearance, he has been well taken care of. It musttob,en.
source of real gratification to the worthy magistrate,
.11 d
d
his bounty so well bestowed, and so thoroughly appreciate
by the recipient, who appears worthy of it.

the same section, and being convicted, a like penalty was
imposed on him.
