ALLEGED MURDER AND VIOLATION.
On Tuesday Mr. W. Baker opened an inquiry at the
Foresters' Arms' Old Ford-road, Victoria-park, respect-
ing the death of Maria Leech, aged eighteen years, a
-single woman, who was found dead in Sir George
Duckett's Canal. Mr. John Parr, residing at No. 1, St.
John's-terrace, South Hackney, an independent gentle-
man, stated that the deceased was his zervant. She left
his residence on Friday morning at eleven o'clock, for a
holiday, with directions to return at eight o'clock in the
evening. She was quite cheerful when she departed,
and witness had not seen her alive since. She was very
regular in her duties, and attentive to the family.
Witness had made inquiry and ascertained that her
body had been found in the canal, which he had
since seen and recognised by her dress. He
did not believe she had committed suicide. Had
heard that she had been on a visit to her aunt. Deceased
was an excellent servant, and had no followers. Mary
Brown, the aunt, was called, and said that she resided
at Bromley. The deceased came to see her on Friday
last, and remained until seven o'clock in the evening,
when she left to proceed across the fields to her master's
house at Hackney. She had a little basket with her and
a pair of cloth boot 3, which she had purchased before
she left witness. She had only a few coppers with her
when she deputed. Mr. Edward Moore, surgeon, of
No. 86, Bettinif-green-road, said he had examined the
body, and found a bruise on the loft eye, and marks of
strangulation on the neck, as if the arm of some per-
son had been closely pressed round it, and her ears
exhibited marks as if they had been tightly grasped.
There were bruises on other parts of her per-
son, which he was of opinion had been inflicted
previous to immersion in the water. Witness had
also ascertained that some connexion had very recently
taken place, but there was no hemorrhage proving any
Particular violence. Susannah Keppell, wife of a beer-
shop keeper, stated that she saw tne deceased with a
eailor on the Friday night, about ten o'clock. Tney
entered the Yarmouth Arms, in Green-street, Bethnal-
green; but witness only knew her by the bonnet she
had on at the time. Vau4han, summoning officer, said
they had since found the deceased's shawl by the drags.
Tfin basket had also been re3overed at a public-house az
I\4ly-bridge, where it had been sold for a pint or beer
on the Saturday, by some person who picked it up in the
field near the canal. Na barges were allowed to pass
through it. It was kept for pleasure-boats and bathing.
The road-way WA3 not dangerous, and the deceased
mould not have walked in from the main thoroughfare
fie inquest was adjourned to give the police time fa

CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Thursday last an in-
quest was held at Maidstone on the body of William Ed-
wards Chittenden, a young man who carried on the business
of a butcher at Maidstone. It appeared from the evidence
produced before the coroner that the deceased had contracted
to supply the barracks with meat, and that on the delivery
of a portion of the contract objection had been taken to it,
both as to its quality and its freshness. The deceased be-
came excited, and shortly afterwards was found with his
throat cat in a building formerly used as the workhouse. It
was also shown that several members of his family had de-
stroyed themselves whilst under mental delusion.
after a 10% ~.,-continued investigation, returned a verdict oyf
" Temporary insanity."

OYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, REGENT'S.
PARK,

The snow' general exhibition of plants and fl )wers at
these gardens took place on Wednesday. but owing io the
wttness of the weather f,w person' were present beyond
the professional horticulturists immediately interested
in the show and those determined amateurs whom no-
thing Inn daunt. In themselves the collections were re-
markably fine, and although numerous, would have been
more abundant had not the almost certain prospect of
continuous rain prevented the exposition of many others.
The heaths and azaleas were, perhaps, the most plenti-
ful in proportion, and reflected great credit on the
growers. The orchideous plants were also remarkably
good, but not in such numbers as at the preceding fête.
The same observation will apply to the quality of the
pelargoniums and the stove and greenhouse plants.
Roses, cinerarias, calceolarias, and the other hosts com-
pleted the crowds which filled the marquees. The fruits,
which generally attract so much attention, were con-
strained to expand their sweetness upon the vacant air.
The American plants, which formed on the preceding
Saturday a special show by...themselves, but were then
rather backward in flower, owing to the coldness of the
season, were on Wednesday in magnificent condition.
Nothing, indeed, was wanting but a sunny sky to have
bade this exhibition most successful, the number of
tickets issued to the fellows and their friends having ex-
ceeded all formers years. We subjoin an official list of
the chief prizes ayvarded :
