YESTiRDAY' at twelve o'clock; a COroner
Jury met Mr. SHIELD, the Coroner, It the Dort
Horse, oppoqite St. .GeOrge's Church, Southwark;
to inquire into the. death of. Pizabeth Brown;
who lodged at a hotre- in Pe.orge.)..ard, in the Bo:,
rough. .

. .
After viewing the .bossy, the Jury continued
sitting. till nearly fivc.o'elock:. !.. .

•
A great number of witnesses were examined;
many of .theiri poor unhartiy women, who live by
the wretched earnings ofprostitution:.

The first Witness. said; she lived in the same
house .with the deceased, Who had a companion
of the name of Jane., Williams, 'but generally
known by that'Of Welsh Jenny. -She heard the
deceased and this v.vomanquarrellingabOut twelto
o'clock, and supposed the former %Vat turned out
of doors, as she heard her afterwards knocking
at the door, and
.begging to be admitted, saying
she had hurt -her head, &c.

The deceased, she said, belonged to a parish
near Cannon-street. She had been put into a
Work-houscat Mile-End, but had left it about
a month ago, and came to live. in George-yardi
where she was employed in going on.messages for
the unfortunate women who inhabit that place.—
The evidence of several other of these Women
was to the saine.efred.

The siedielietS of the parish or h. Owi st-, anti
a Surgeon.wiTo had examined the body, were theca
called ; the latter said, -that it did not etearly
pear to him, that
~the marks of violence upon the
body had been the occasion of her ideath.
It appeared . that the deceased was much given
to intoxication, and it was sugvtted that Wet.
wounds might have been occasioned' by falls, &c

The account given' in a Morning Paper of yes- ,
terday, respeeting two men having jumped out
of a one pair of stairs window, was proVed to be
incorrect.

The mete atided to appeased, from the cc
of several respedabli Gentlemen in the neighbour.
hood of Blackman street; to4have been two credit
able country dealers, who, having been at the Dun
Horse till a late hour on Tuesday night, had, on
leaving it,, been decoyed into George yard- by
Jane Williams. They continued in her, apart_
ment, which was on the ground-floor, until se-
ven in the morning, when they were informed
that a dead body was lying in the passage:
ing a considerable Sum of money about'them, they
were alarmed, and immediately got but of the
window. These two Gentlemen, it was stated,
were ready to make their appearance if necessary ;
but the Jury thought there was no occasion. for.
'examining them, being of opinion that the de-
ceased, who had only .a part. of her clothes on
when found, had come by' her death from lying
in the inssage exposed to .tln• inclemency of the
weather,
.and returned a verdict accordingly.

Srottm7G.---A most extraordinary circum.:
stance happened with the Berkeley hounds, on
Monday'last; meeting the Company to, throw
off at Hodgmoor; they. soon unkennelled, and
went ;away in , the highest stile imaginable;
crossing a considerable scope of country, with
beeast.high running for two hours ; they at
length reached Pollard's-Wood, where the field of
horsemen' was very. much.reduced; here Reynard
finding himself severely pressed by the pack (who
were close 'at his brush); jumped into what is
called a grolia,fall, of
,ten or twelve fcet deep,
and was instantaneously followed down the ph.
scared precipice by the body of hounds, who
were completely lost to view, and the very few
horsemen near, left in a state of the utmost Con-
sternation. 'Forn Oldaker, the huntsman, and one
rtubipjler-in, 'being up, the latter permitted him.
self. to be let down into the dreary abyss, from
whence, by. the Most incessant exertion, and
incredible fatigue; he extricated and got to the
surfice seven couple,—then the fox, and with a
persevering Herculean labour, the remaining
fourteen couple, many dreadfully bruised, and
the last, a favourite leading hound (which- it is
supposed went down close
_to the fox), quite
dead : previous to the conclusion of this arduous
and dreary task, the "whipper.in had earnestly
implored assistance for extrication, and had nO
sooner reached the surface than he fainted, and
his recovery was for some time doubtful:

It is extraordinary, 'that notwithstanding so
great a quantity of Salt fish comes to market, it
is retailed so high as Bd. per pound.- There wants
some public spirited men to set up a market for
Fish, as well as other articles, and we doubt not
that it might be sold for less than half the present
price, with a good profit to the Subscribers.
Fresh Herring's are sold at .4.d. a .piece,. though
such' shoals arc constantly brought to market.
The Ladies of Truro, and its neighbourhood,'
at their Bieizeientepository, on Thursday, Jan.
29, disktlayed the most elegant assortment of va-
rious. Pitney Works, in. ,the Assembly-room,
which were arranged on
.tablei between the pil-
lars on either side, antreitending from one end to
the other, formed a complete,coup-d'arl. Such wis
the impatience of the seoMpany assembled to be.
Conic purelysers, that instead of waiting for 'the
appointed hour, the Ladies who so charitably con..
tributed their work, were. necessitated to coin.
mence the sate soon after the doors were opened
.and we have the pleasure to add, that the amount
was upwards of an hundred guiticits, which were
immediately appropriated to charitable purposes.
