Chain Tavern, in the Tower, before Mr. Morris, • special
Coroner, on the body of Elizabeth Deightos, &lighter of
31r. Ideighton, of Broad-street.buildinge, City, igM96 years.
Judith Tomkina, Sr the more hater, said, she had seen the
deceased frequently. 'She always appeared mitibierg sod try.
' lea at a dreadful rate. On Wednesday she came down stairs
as usual, and witness took hold of her arm mid said, " ffly
dear girl, what is the nutter ?'s The answered, her itep
'Moodier had agile bees beating and ill.uslog her. About four
menthe age she heard an emery of " Murder !' and • great
'concourse of persons were assembled round the door-i-ime
step-mother bad been beating her. 'She believed the girl to
be a good child. She had every reason to believe the sere.
rity, together with the impetuous disposition of the step-
• new her, had driven her to the commission of the eel.
Six or sere. other tritoesseaVere examined, and all their
'testimony went tote same effect, that the irritable disposi-
tion of the step-mother had driven her into a fit of despond-
ency, in which she drowned herself.
The only witness to the I ilea rkrlilMaht Adams, k
private in the let regiment of foot guards, stationed at the
Tower, who said, that en Wednesday lest he saw the deceased
walking about ow 'the 'Tower:wharf apparently dejected
and melancholy; her manlier in thime degree celled his
attention. She was a tine girl, sell while he turned his
beck to go into the guardroom, she pltsgesi into the
water ; be beard the splash, and on looting robed he sal'
the bosnet of the 'deceased and some halfpence on
the wharf; lie immediately went and called to the tender

the father of the child treed be had 'pet an advertisement
in the Mottling Arfeenffseir of Friday, Offering • reward to
'any person who weld restore her to her parents. which soon
led theft to amertain bee death. He also said the child
was of a very sidles dispoiition, sad her step-Outlier very
iMtabk.

Mrs. Deletion, Selma exalt to be interrogsted by the Jury,
'very esl•aly went uffla a fittittisig At, which the 'Foreman of
Jury was repugusst tame. 'Cold water w,a then headed to
her, more, Indeed, than was 'memory. Her affectation and
manlier of conduitt was, in Ike minds-of the Jury, truly sin.
'Aar. She left the room for • short time, and thew returned,
and, being spitrealtal on by the Coroner for a further de-
'tail of evideses, she spin fsiated away, and after uttering
• few incoherent expressioaa respecting her daughter, was
carried out of dieloosn.
The Coroner then veiled epos she Jury to enusider of their
♦erdict.

A Ju►taten said, there had slot been oat Mae of evidence
to shew that the deceased wad issaite, bat t►at she had been
driven to the act by the 111-usage of the step-mother, be
'therefore could am couseteattously return such a verdict.
The Foreman of the Jury thee said, he considered their
attendance ass to inquire how the deceased came by ber
death. The observation s( his Mend must go before auotber
tribusal.

The Cormier esswareoted upon the whole of the eireem.
'tenets, and said, notwithstaurliag all, it would not be on4y
tioranetous,but eafeellair to a degree,for ■ Juryman to hold
out as (maims that would subject the &ceased to a most
innomituous iotermeay and throw an indelible stain upon
the family.

A Maculation took place sass` tlie !oilmen ; sod a oer-
diet of issanify was, after great keel\ of time, leturoed.

The Chelmsford Oared:de says—Osi Thursday, the Tab
tall. the village of Loddow, in Norfolk, was thrums iato the
greatest •larrn, from the report that a murder bad bees com-
mitted so the Asylum for Ltniaties, 'kept by Mr. Joilyek of
that place. It provtJ, uutisrtuentely, take the case, and it
was ascertained that *keeper, mamed James Dale, bad, welb-
*et the least prousealloa, bees murdered by else df the pa.
Beals of that asylum. We aadentined she convulse:seat pa-
tients were generally allowed to dine by themselves is the
parlour, and one of the 'keepers attended to serve them wish
meal, &c. Date, the nafortseate victim, was waiting es
seven or eight gentlemen at dinner—he milted Moms. Cole-
man if he was not well, as he appeared se eat his dieser with
indifference. Dale carrell the unit fur ate 'gentlemen; whew
Coleman snatched up the Wife which Dale bad been 'slag,
and 'lmaged it into his (Dale's) ride, just wader the left
breast, which mortal wowed be 'did not survive more than
four initiate's. Coleman admitted that be !tabbed Dale,
and observed, with'the genteel indifference, that be would
serve Mrs.Jollye the same, she first opportunity.
A Coroner's Jury assembled at ten o'clock on Friday
meraleg, and were sitting till four is the afteration, and then
adjourned till the following Tuesday, at one, when they re-
lented a verdiet,--" Murdered by Thomas Coleuses, ma is-
sue perms."
Mr. Jolty., the proprietor of the asylum, was ill is bed at
the time the circumstance took place, which had such an
effect &epos him, that he died ma Saturday morning at eleven
o'clock. Dale had heed with Mr. Jullye ions. years, and
was considered a very attentive sad humane man to the pa.
omits, and was much respected by Mr. Jolly', sad all who
knew him. Coleman is abort 3b years of age, and has bees
in Updike asylum some years.
On Wednesday last en immeat was takes before the
Cormier for the mike of Grantham (George White, Gentle-
man) at Little thseerby is the perish of Grantham, op vie:,
of the body of Jams Eqrsou, • young woman about twenty-
four years of age, the daughter of Jelin Ssigson ,of Grantham,
guesmith, who bad poisoned herself. It appeared in evidesee
before the Jury, that the deceased bad shout three months
ago bees turned out of her father's house by her brother and
his wife, and bad sister bees lodging at different houses, until
she bad parsed with all her clothes, and would have bees de-
prived of the COSMOS secessaries of life but for the humanity
of Mr. Weaver nod his wife, at whose house site last lodged;
that she appeared much distressed and agitated in her mind
for some days past, and that she bad been frequently in the
habit of table; large quastities of laudanum. On Monday
cruising last she purchased upwards of two outsets, the whole
of which she took, sud died on the fullowiag moraieg. Her
brother was seat for, and told she was dying, but be refuted
to go near her, and said she might die for what he eared. Her
body being °pelted, it appeared that the stomach was much
lamed ; sad no doubt being entertained by the Jury that
she dyed from the effects of the lawdsopin, they returned a
verdiet,-" That the deceased had poisoned herself in • slate
of iosanity."

Extract of a letter from Galway, December
—" The distress of this country is now at the
greatest height. There are very few Gentlemen
of even from e,OOO/. to 5,0001. per annum (nomi-
nally) who can shew their faces out of doors for
fear of being arrested. As to obtaining rents, it is
next to an .impossibility, as many tenants are
really unable to pay, and others Pike advan-
tage of their not having been paid themselves
by the under tenants, and assert their inability,
so that those landowners who have to pay the
interest of meaty lent to them, jointures or
annuities. are obliged to hide themselves. No
price is to be obtained for any article, save whis.
key, and those Gentlemen who twelve months ago
were the most active in preventing the making
of it, are now obliged to wink at illicit distillation,
iii order to procure a few pounds. A little pro.
perty of mine let four years ago for 4304 per an-
gina]; since that period SOL a year lias only been
received, and of this aunt the tenants are one year
and a half in arrears, and more than half of the
previous ball year. Government are doing what

lady, the stone is the bladder. Its virtues unfortunately are
little more than locally known, but the astonishisg cure
which it has effected in the case of Mr. Samuel Jaeksos, the
great carrier in Little Windmill-stud, merits that its re-
storative and sanative powers should be more universally
diffused. That getitkoisit long suffered as much as it was
possible for human nature to endure, front the intense agony
prodseed by a most confirmed species of mow, sad received
all the advice whish the beads of the faculty were able to be-
stow; hut, unfortuuately, without the least mitigation of the
complaint, arising from their skill. Mr. J. was induced,
by the recommendation of • friend, to try the aforesaid
water, which be had fetched is large atone bottles, tied
which he used as his general beverage; sad es less than a
fortniett's time be experiesceil a mitigation of his com-
plaint. He is now, after two years trial, completely eared,
and is as free from stow or gravel assay per... is the king-
dom. This aforesaid water is se baud:ally reined and
filtered by the band of nature, that if it is seed for cosmos
household purposes fur tireuty years, it never produces the
least sediment or incrustation in the utensil.
