nutted in the Broadway churchyard. His widow was
lett unprovided tor, sad left London to take a situatiot,
in Kent, where she was not successful. At the begin-
eing Of the present month bile took lodgings in Dean-
Arne, Westminster. She at first objected to the rent,
paying her only purpose for coming was to visit
the grave of her husband. She went away, but
returned and took one of the rooms, instead
of two, and very little was seen of her atter
wards; the last occasion being when she went
to the landlady to borrow a pen and ink, saying she
wanted to write a letter. Atter that, for a week, no
more was seen of her, and suspicion being excited, the
door was forced open, and she was found lying dead on
the carpet. Hr. Heath, the surgeon of Bridge-stree,
was sent for, who was of opinion that she had been
dead seven or eight days. He found' on the mantle-
piece two bottles labelled " poison," and upon a post
mortan examination he discovered about an ounce of
laudanum in the stomach. She had been in the
habit for two years of going to- the churchyard and
weeping over the grave of her husband. In her
room the following letter was found : "To save
trouble, Mrs. Ann Stone came by her death by a
draught of laudanum, no one knowing that she did take it,
as she is a total stranger in the house she is in. Every
effort she has made to obtain an honest living failed her.
She has the presumption to throw her soul into the pre-
sence of Almighty, and she fervently prays that God
will have mercy on her soul. Good Christians, do nut
allow a number of persons to look on my unfortunate
body. I have performed all the offices that are requisite;
the body is quite ready for the coffia." She then begs
that she may be buried in the same grave with her hut-
band, and expressed a fear that the New Victoria-street
might destroy She concludes —" If I could have died
on my husband's grave-stone I would have done so."

CONTINEN FAL CLIAIATES.
It is a grand mistake to believe that any of our neigh-
b 'lira are much better than ourselves in that respect. It
they be, it is more in the tact, that the order of the sea-
sons is more regular, and that the particular character
of the time has fewer variations than in England. So
much is this the case, that we appreciate pertectly the
distinction a foreigner once male to us, that England
has weather but no climate, meaning that every imagin-
able change is at all times possible, and that for tour
weeks of June sun and wind, we often are requited with
a December that even Naples might envy. It way be act
