EXTRAORDINARY CHARAcrest.—Monday se'nnight, as. a
Mr. Cruntwed, of Hammersmith, a malt•ter, a brewer, t coal-
merchant, and, we believe, engaged in other business, Was
• Mutating front the corn-market, in Mark-lane, on horseback,
he was taken nowelt. It is supposed that his °kit et was to
call upon a customer in Tottenham coact-road As be. was
eassing through tae neighbourhood of Redford-square, he
was observed oy several persons to sit with difficulty on his
horse. On his arriving In Tottenham•court-road, he reeled
so much, that two men seized the reins of his horse, and got
Mtn off. He had strength and articulation sufficient to
slitter corn-thandlers," which he repeated, and nothing
else; which, together with signs, the people assisting him,
understood to be to take hint there, which they according
did. The ttia•terbf the shop, who knew 44, was from home
in the country; his wife did not know him, sod he therefore
was treated with uo inore atten,ion from hek than. hutimaitv
dictated. Ile remained in the shop, and b crowd was col-
lected In consetpience, his (bras not bespeating him a man of
wealth or respeutability, till he could be removed to the
parish workhouse. Howhstr, some gentlemen passiug by
chance recoguized him, and knowing him to be wealthy,
thought It right to search his person in the presence of seve.
cal witnesses, when they fumed bank-notes to the amount of
1,3001. which they deposited at a banker's. A surgeon was
sent for, who attended end examined him, and lie declared
in his opinion, he had been dying fur the last two hours, iu
consequence of the breaking of a blood vessel, supposed to
Ile near his heart. On making inquiry to account for the acci-
dent and sudden death, as he appeared in the morning to be
enjoying Isis usual good health, and also when he went to the
coin-market, it appeared That some time since he sold a man
;000 quarters of dealt; 300 of diewhad beeivlelivered ; some
of the sack. had been objected to by the luau, and Mr. C.
.11 answer said, as lie made objectioni lie should not have
any more. In the mean lime malt rose considerably in
pi ice, time man insisted upon having the whole of the quan-
ta,' of malt delivered to I ' he had agreed for, and Mr. C.
refused. 'lime man in consequence took counsel's opinion
how to act in the business, who advised the ratan to Lewitt

The Creek Brewhouse became Ins property and the sorrowed-

died about three years ago. Althongh Mr. C. did not alio*
himself the comforts of life, or even in some instances the
COMIIIOO necessaries, yet he was by no means void of feeling
or natural &diction towards others. A younger brother
died a few years since, leaving four childres unprovided for,
he sent them to a boarding-School, and provided for them id
other respects. His two surviving brothers, who live, the
one at Hounslow, and the other at Feltbam, are heirs to his
immense property.
An Inquest ass held at the London Hospital, on the body
of Elizabeth %Vilma. It appeared. from the evidence, which
was principally taken trona the declaration of the deceased,
that on Saturday se'unight, having left her service at Enfield,
she was met in Whitechapel by a woman residing in Union-
street, Ratelitre-highway, who persuaded her to accompany
her tome. That on the Sunday evening she was pressed to
go into the streets tor the purpose of prostitution, which obis
refusing, was kicked violently in the side. On Sunday she
was taken to Catherine-wheel-alley, t 1 Inn:chapel, where shit
was again ill treated, fur refusing to associate With a man of
colour. On Monday moruing she was token to the Loodote
Hospital, where she died ou Thursday morning. This ac-
count was given by her at the Hospital to the nurses. 0*
the other hand, the sister and aunt of the deceased denied
that she bad ever been in service at Enfield, and the sister
deposed that she had lived for the last twelvemonth' on the
wages of prostitution: Her aunt visited her while in this
Hospital; and to her inquiry as to the cause of her illness,
she :herrn/ stated that she had rivet with an accident. 'lwo
medical gentlemen stated, that when she first came Into the
Hospital, she complained of having received kicks and bruises
on her tett side. That on examining her body, die," found
the bruises had-not affected the internal parts. Considershist
inflasimatiou was found on the right lobe of the lungs, whiff
terminated in an efinsionof water, which produced her death.
The indammation was on her right side, and the biases on
her left: nor was her death hi any degree hastened by the
braises found upon her.-:--The Coroner said, that the declara-
tions of die deceased at the Hospital could nut be admitted
as evidence, unless she considered herself in a dying state,
which was not the case; slid they were contradicted in part
uy inner evidence. 'lice deceased had not beet seduced by
the infamous woman, though she had received several viola*
contusions ; but as these had no operation on her death, they
would not constitute wettarge either of murder or manslagess
