sel soon afterwariTs left the shore with only a young lady
and the fisherman on board, directing its course to the
y.tcht, which was lying-to. The boat soon returned with-
out the fair passenger; and the pleasure vessel immediately
sailed under a press of canvass, shaping its course towards
Calais. The young• lady had entered Margate in a pest-
chaise, unattended, a few minutes before.

The advance in the prier of iron is owing to the in-
creased demand for the article, occasioned by the additional
uses to which it is appropriated. As the ore itself is inex-
haistible, the rise in mice will be temporary, fur when the
additional furnaces now constructing by the great iron
manufacturers shall begin to work, the tn,tal wi!l again be
reduced to its proper level.
Manufattuted copper has lately advanced one penny pet
pound, to the greet joy of the leading Louses in London,

It ',generally believed that Mr. Fauntlerokliat been a victim I

to say that a large: sum ass never lost w Isis buipe. At whist he
alas oreasitinally played, but he was seldom known to escerd

the habit of playing at any other gamur.
Much has hen said or Mr. Faiiiitleroes I;ointacy with Mrs.
Ileetraat., mums '• Mother Hang," (olio, by-the-bye, is • Brighton
woman, and well known here by the name of rent,) We k,.tier
that he has nut seen her for a petits! of vernal >sore.
The riVit'S states that Mr. Fauntleroy freqmvol, visited the Con.
tinent, 'mil spoke Ilise.itly several foreneit languages. On the
contrary, he was never out of England fur lunge than a few hours,
and spoke no living language but Ms own. What b said of Ms in-
innate acquaintance with banking business is nertectly correct.

hula was it known that the peace officers had catividerahlet:ilculty

was brdught by Mr. Fauntleroy to this country trout Paris; •
although she was educated in France, she is an Enelishwunien,
and her 11111114 was Mies F••••, but she afterwards mamma die
name of Mrs. r••••••••. She occasionally visited Brighton, but
when she did so, she occupied a separate house or 114.i:togs. It
has been reported that Mr. ratintleroy was in the habit of bringing
females of a certain daacriptton to his residence (tore thii is not
the case, nor is it. we believe, true that Mrs. K , lady
well Ittionn in Ilrighton, and who is now living here in great style,
was formerly under his protection, although he was tiquaintaut
her.

titYotii.AX Casn.—An Inquest was held at the Oen of
the Blue goat Boy, City-road, Islington, before Thomas
Sterling, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Susannah Wall,
ageti Yo, the daughter of a respectable tradesman, resiiling
at the east end et the town. On Thursday evening last,
the deccaped relived herself to leave home, saying
she was ping to a party, but did not return during the
whole of the night, and her absence involved her friends
in thg dtepeit tffliction. Every inquiry wag made after
her, but no tidings were traced until the following morn-
ing, when she was found at the above tavern in a dying
candition. It appeared, that on the eV( ..ing of her leaving
her father's house. at about seven o'clock, she was ob-
served lurking about the• New River, when le:r conduct at-
tracted the attention of a youbg nun, who watched her,
until at length she prccipitated herself into the water. lie
instantly plunged in after het, and succeeded in b. inging
her ashore, in a state of insensibility. A phial, curtaining
some Ifildbium, was found in her pocket, some of .which
she had taken ,wive to throwing herself into the river.
She expired on the following day of apoplexy. Such being
the swoon's opinion, the Jury, after a long consulta-
tion,deliverod a verdict—" Died by the visitation of lied."

(hi Saturday last an inquest was held on the body of
George Needs, who was drowned on Wednesday last by
the upsetting ~f a beat elf Minehead, Somerset. The 0."-

was also drowned. Das body of the latter has not been
found. About half au hour after the deceased fell front
the tuft, he was found floating about So yards only (ruin
where he was washed off the raft ; deceased was a pilot of
Minebead. The King's boat was lying in the pier when j
the accident happened-, and the crew ituntediately put off
towards the scene of distress. but the four who survived
were saved before the King's boat reached the spot. Ver.
