DREADFUL DEATII OF A GIRL.

On Minds), evening a respectable Jury assembled at the
Cheshire Cheese tavern, Strand, to inquire touching the
death of Cordelia Sutton, a fine girl, seven years of age,
daughter of Mr. Sutton, solicitor, of Surrey-street, Strand-
Mr. William Jones, assistant to Mr. Cosgrove, surgeon,
About ten days ago wa., at the house of the deceased's father,
when an alarm was made that the deceased hail fallen out
of the window. She was afterwards brought into the,
house, and witness immediately attended her. On exit-.
mining her person he found a dreadful wound on her left'
side : having fallen on the spikes of the railings, ' one of'
them entered between the 10th and 11th ribs of the feit
side about an inch deep. He rendered her every aaeistance,
but she died on Saturday last.
Elisabeth Groves was one of a party at the house of
the deceased's father on the night of the accident. The
deceased struck one of her sisters, on which Mrs. Sutton
ordered her to go up stairs, and remain there until she Was
called for. The deceased quitted the room, and went np
stairs to an upper apartment. Shortly after an alarm was
made that she had fallen from the top of the house.
Robert Murray, waiter at the Cheshire Cheese tavern,
on the day of thy accident heard screams, and' on proceed-
ing into the street he saw the deceased child sticking on the
railings in front of her father's house. He instantly took
her off, and the blood gushed from a wound on the left
side. She begged of witness " not td let the new police
take her." He took her into the house of her parents,
where a medical gentleman attended to her. On intimat-
ing the accident to Mrs. Sutton she was exceedingly
affected, and went into hysterics.
Juror—Why did she request you not to let the nett
police take her?
Witness—l understood the child had quarrelled with her
sister, and had been threatened by her mother that they
should take her. The door of the room from which she
fell was bolted by the deceased.
Mr. James Barry, one of tie Jury, on Friday afternoon
week heard an alarm of the accident, and went to Mr.
Sutton's house. He went up stairs with Mr. Sutton and
another individual, and found the door of the room to
which the &ceased had been sent by her mother fastened
at the inside. Witness's son got through at the window
near the parapet, and he found the door carefully bolted
and fastened.

The Jury consulted for some time, daring which come
of them differed in opinion am to their verdict, when they
recorded that of " Accidental death by falling from di*
parapet of a house."

MELTON MOWBRAY, MARCH B.—A great
sensation has been produced here by the committal of s
robbery of as flagrant and audacious a character as any on
record. On Wednesday last Lord and Lady SOUTHAMP.
TON gave a grand dinner to the principal Nobility and
Gentry of the Melton Hunt, at their residence, Quorndon
Hall, near Loughborough. Lady Souzaraurroo visited
her dressing-ropm at the hoar of nine, at which period
every thing remained in its usual order. About one
o'clock her Ladyship's waiting-maid, having occasion
to enter, found the door fastened on the inside..'
Surprised at so unusual an occurrence, she bastemed to
her Ladyship in the drawing-room, and communi-.
gated the circumstance. After several attempts had
been made to induce any person who might be secretod
within to come forward, the door of the apartment WO
with some difficulty forced open, when it was discovered
that some daring villain, entering from the window, and
securing the door to prevent interruption, had carried off
the whole of Lady Scrrnaltrirox's bijoutry, including
the family diamonds and other precious stones, to the
amount of several thousand pounds. An alarm was itr
stantly given—messengers were despatched in all direction.
to apprize the Magistrates of the robbery, and .a reward
of 500/. offered for the apprehension of its perpetrator&
Hitherto nothing has transpired to lead to their detection.
MANCHESTER.—During the whole of Wed"
nesday last the neighbourhood of New Town and Colly'
hurst was kept is a state of extreme confusion and &tarns
by the attempts of the populace to prevent certain bailiff•
from levying on the goods of a man named BAxxs for
chief rent; and, in the evening of the same day, a delis%
outrage was committed on his premises.
At the late Rutland Assizes, held at Oakhaul
on Friday last, a case of libel was brought on, in which
Mr. Jolla Nzwcosta, Proprietor and Editor of the .ii'
coin Mercury, was plaintiff, and Mr. DEA/LARD, Proprie

the Star and Crown public-house, Broadway, Westsnio'
ster, before Mr. GaLL, on the body of AMELIA MID'
GARET DAWSON, a girl of loose character, who died 00
Sunday morning at a house of ill-fame in the Alinenry/
having, it is supposed, destroyed herself by taking a qua,
tity of laudanum. It appeared that she had spent tbt
night with a soldier, who left her early in the mornis%'
after which, it is supposed, she took the poison. IV/
soldier was not present at the inquest, and, as several';
the Jury refused to give any verdict in his absence,
