A GENTLE?
:EN FOUND DROWNED IN THE SER-
PENTINE.--On Saturday, the body of a man, about 50
years of age, respectably dressed, and wearing a gold ring,
with red stone, was found in the Serpentine at 1131
The deceased is described as about 4 feet 3,0 inches tin
length, fair cpmplexion, with grey hair and whiskers. TUe
shat he had on is marked "J. Hillier." de Park.
THE. CONDEMNED CONVICT, JOHN ALLEN,—Tho
convict John Allen, who was sentenced to death at the late
assizes for the county of Somerset, awaits his doom in
Taunton Gaol. At the trial, it will be remembered, he was
utterly prostrated, but since then he has somewhat reco-
vered, and conducts himself as becomes his awful situation.
He appears perfectly resigned to his fate, and only regrets
that the wound he inflicted on his own throat has not re•
suited fatally, so that he might have been buried in the
same grave as his murdered wife. He complains bitterly
of John Steele—the man of whom he was jealous—and
looks upon him as the author of all his misery. It is pro-
posed to set on foot a subscription to provide for his youth.
ful daughter, so soon to Decome an orphan.
