THE SUPPOSED MURDER NEAR BARNSLE7.-011
Swmhoith, were
eedfow 23,u dandnlylinmg iilyll
Carlton-lane Saturday an Ma t
.11"- was opened before Thomas Lee, Esq.,
coroner of Wakefield, and a repectable jury, at the Wood-
man Inn, Smithies, near Barnsley, on the bodies of Annis
heralfoann-tlacnheil,d,saingied
ttileos, mono n tthhse
previous Wednesda37, With both their throats cut. The ia-
,
quiry lasted the whole of Saturday, and was adjourned to
Tuesday. The bodies havin
been' discovered under very
suspicious circumstances, a gman named James Gleadhill,
with whom Annis Smith had been cohabiting for the last
twelve months, was taken into custody on a charge of being
concerned in the appalling
deed. After a lengthened inves-
tigation (nineteen witnesses having been examined), theg
jury brought in the following verdict :—"The deceased, An-
nis Smith and Emily
Smith, were found with their throats
cut, and quite dead, on the morning ' of Wednesday, 24th
March, but by whom
the act was done we have no evidence
to show." The prisoner, James Gleadhill,
is under remand
by the magistrates.

OLD MAIDS AND BACHELORS.--The North Fri-
sians are very unmerciful to people who don't marry. One
of their legends says, that after death old maids are doomed
to cut stars out of the sun when it has sunk below the
horiron, and the ghosts of the old bachelors must blow them
up in the east, running, like lamplighters, all night op and
down a ladder... Dickens's Household Words.

THE UNITED STATES,
The accounts from New York by the America show
increasing activity and confidence. The fresh arrivals
of gold from California, together with moderate impor-
tations of European goods and the temporary suspension
of specie remittances, were producing a powerful in-
fluence on the market. unchecked by counteracting circum-
stances of any kind. Under these circumstances, if, in addi-
tion to the large amount of United States' stocks lately
purchased on this side, there had also been an incautious
disposition to take all the railway and other bonds that
have been offered, there would have been considerable
danger of inflation. At present, however, there is no reason
to apprehend any such result. In addition to the accounts
from California, the papers contain renewed particulars of
gold to be obtained elsewhere. In New Mexico a person,
who has had two years' experience in California, is said
to have formed a party of 38 to proceed to some deposits
which he alleges he has discovered on a branch of the
river Gilts, about 350 miles from Santa Fe. Accounts
from Oregon also revive the rumours as to the existence
of rich quartz on Qum Charlotte's Island. The speci-
mens shown were brought by one of the crew of the Una,
a vessel lately wrecked there. Another statement has ap-
peared that a mine ot auriferous quartz has been found
in Virginia, about 80 miles west of Richmond. " The
vein," it is sail, '' is exceedingly rich in threads, thickly
sprinkled with the metal, while the rock itself, in which
none is visible, contains eleven dollars to the ton."
fhe tract comprises about 1,300 acrss, but it is a sus-
picious circumstance that the parties proposing to work
it were endeavouring to raise capital in New York
instead of in their own State. It appears that the
engineers sent out by the Nouveau Monde Company
had arrived at San Francisco on the 11th of February.
They were twenty-four in number, hut ono of them
died of fever shortly after leaving Panama. Three
others had also been attacked, but were now re-
covering. The superintendent reports that he was
about to proceed at once to the mines. The de-
mand at Neff York for passage to San Francisco
was unabated. The vessels by both routes were full
up to the end of May, and through tickets, via
Nicaragua, were sought at 100 dolls. premium. It was
announced that a portion of the Panama Railway would
open on the 15th March. There had been one or two
small failures at New York, and another of larger amount
at Savannah. The merchants' Exchange in Wall-street
was to be sold on the 16th March. It was built after
the great fire, but the rt turns have not been sufficient
to pay the interest on its bonds, and the mort-
gagees had at length resolved to foreclose. An applica-
tion for postponement, with the hope that the requisite
sum of 8.50,000 dollars, or the greater part of it, might be
raised by loan in London, had been made and refused.
At Philadelphia an adjourned meeting of the stockholders
of the United States' Bank had been appointed for the
17th March. A report from a committee on the best mode
for speedily closing all its affairs would then be sub-
mitted. The struggle in Congress on the question of an
increased subsifiy to the Collins line of Liverpool
steamers was still unfinished. Among the public grants
awarded by the
.House of Representatives was one of
100,000 dollars to Dr. Morton for his discovery of the
stew sthetic properties of ether. A Bill authorising an
organization for the construction of a crystal palace
had been passed by the Legislature of New York.—

HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK,

(From the Registrar-General's Report.)
The mortality has bee❑ great in the London districts
during the whole of March. In the first week of the
month the deaths registered were 1,128, in the two fol-
lowing they rose to 1,232 and 1,208, and in the last
week, as shown by the present return, they were 1,219.
It must ba observed, however, that the small increase
which now appears over the preceding week arises from
more than an average number of coroners' cases. Ex-
cluding from the returns deaths from poison, injury, and
other external ceases, of which inquest cases principally
consist, the numbers in the last three weeks stand thus:
—1,160, 1,183, and 1,161.
In the ten corresponding weeks of 1842 51 the aver-
age number of deaths was 1,126, whicb, if raised in a
certain proportion according to increase of population,
is 1,239. The deaths registered last week differ, there-
fore, little from the calculated amount; but this as a
comparative test of the actual mortality is disturbed at
the end of the quarter, when cases on which inquests
have been held, and many of which occurred at previous
dates, are entered in more than a fair proportion in the
register books.

-The efft ct of tho coldness of the season is still very
apparent in the mortality produced by diseases of the
respiratory organs. This class, which comprises bronchi-
tis, pneumonia, asthma, and a few less fatal maladies, num-
bers this week 243, while the average is only 193, or with
a correction for increase of population, 212. In the re-
turn for the week preceding the number was 269; there
has, therefore, been a reduction in the interval,
but it will be noticed that while pneumonia and asthma
have decreased from 83 and 29 to 72 and 22, bronchitis
continues quite as fatal, the numbers being 126 and 128.
Consumption (in the tubercular class) is also fatal at
present, 151 lives having been destroyed by this disease
in the previous week, and 160 in the last, which is more
than in any corresponding week, with one exception.
Th,,re were 3 from laryngitis, 5 from laryngismus
stridulas.

Seventeen children and six persons of 15 years and
upwards died of small-pox; in three cases, at the ages of
14, 19, and 29 years, vaccination is reported to have
been previously performed. Thirty-eight children died
of hooping- cough, which is less than the average, and
eight of croup. From scarlatina thirty-one deaths oc-
curred, and from typhus, remittent fever, &0., forty-seven.
The unusual number of nine persons, eight of whom
were children under 1 year, are recorded as the victims
of syphilis.
