LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 9,1837.

In the House of Lords, yesterday, the principal debate arose
out of Lord RauNotes motion for a Select Committee relative
to the Statutes of the several Colleges and Halls of the Uni-
versities of Cambridge and Oxford. In the arguments o►►
either side there was necessarily no novelty. Eventually
Lord Radnor consented to withdraw his motion on the assur-
ance that the Universities themselves were now instituting an
inquiry with a view to the introduction of the amendments con-
templated by the Noble Lord's motion. •
Lord BROUGIIAM trusted that if there should be any laxity
in applying an effectual remedy that his Noble Friend would
revive the subject.
In the House of Commons, after the presentation of peti-
tions and the transaction of some private business, the Report
of the Carlow Election Committee, confirming Mr. VIGORS'S
return for the county of Carlow, was brought up by Mr.
BARING. A short conversation then ensued between Mr. RO-
BINSON, Lord PALMERSTON, and Mr. YOUNG, on the subject
of our commercial relations with Portugal and Spain. Lord
PALNIF.RSTON expressed his belief that the Portuguese would
find their new tar►tf as prejudicial to their own interests as it
was to those of other countries, and that they would soon re-
peal it. With respect to the discriminatory duties established
by Portugal, an order in Council was now actually in pre-
paration, by which we should establish similar duties against
the vessels of such countries as adopted disCrimivatory duties
against us.
Lord PALMERSTON in reply to Captain PaCHELL and Sir
R. PEEL, stated that no arrangement had yet been concluded

between England and France, to prevent the collision which
was frequently taking place between the fishing vessels of the
two countries. The Admiralty had not an armed sloop to
protect our fishermen.
Mr. T. D'EYSCOURT then brought foryta,d his motion for
le%ve to introduce a Bill for making Parliaments Triennial.
The Triennial Act was inculcated in the preamble of the Bill
of Rights. Triennial Parliaments would promote the public
liberty. Short Parliaments were a contract to England like
the trial by jury, and the people would never be satisfied until
their rights were restored to them.
Lord Jong Russrt.t. was not prepared to adopt the pro-
position.
Mr. WILLIAMS, S:r S. WHALLEY. Mr. Hums, and Mr.
WAKLEY spoke strongly in favour of the motion, as did also
Mr. ROEBUCK, who declared amidst loud cheers that " he
should propose that Parliament should exist for three years—
no more, and no less—and that it should nut be dissolvable by
the KING or by anybody else."
On a division the numbers were-- for OK.. motion, 86 ;
against it, 97 ; lost by a majority of nine only.
The !louse then went into *Committee on the Poor-laws

( Ireland) Bill, when several of the clauses were agreed to.
During the debate, which derived additional interest from the
procedure of the ether House on Friday night, in postponing
the consideration of the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill sent
up to them by the Commons, Mr. HUME said that he had no
doubt the House would stand by the Ministers, if the Minis-
ters would do their duty. But tha Session was far advanced,
and the very first Bill passed had been laid aside. Lord Joio;
RUSSELL replied that the Government did not intend to post-
pone the consideration of the Church-rate Bill, or of any of
the other ineasurts then before the I-I ;use.

Lord R ADNOR again brought forward a motion last
night, for inquiry into the state of things at the Uni-
versities. The public is much indebted to the Noble
Lord for his persevering exertions to place these insti-
tutions on that footing on which it is fit that educa-
tional establishments of such capacity for good or for
evil, according as they are well or ill managed, should
stand. That neither he nor any of his predecessors in
the same path has been hitherto successful is not to
be wondered at, when it is considered that they have
had the whole power of the Tory aristocracy and of
the clergy arrayed against them. All the advocates
of abuse have rallied round the master-abuse--
Reform may touch the House of Commons—may even
lay her unhallowed hand upon the Church—but
within the sanctuary of the Universities she must
not presume to enter, There the teacher and
the pupil may take oaths without number, and break
them without a scruple of conscience i no (Mg shall PAU
them in question, as long as Bishops and Peers can
be found to declare that to take oaths which are not
meant to be kept is not blameable.
140fli RAP*OII, it will be seen, withdrew his mg,
tion. Wa need not say tlott little or nothing is to be
expected from the ire/trefoil') said to be about to be
administered to the Universities.

A. very interesting interiode took place in the pro-
ceedings of the House of Commons last night.
When Lord JOHN RUSMiIi moved the Order
of the Day for going into Committee on the Irish
Poor Law Bill, Mr. SHIEL asked the Noble
Lord what the Government meant to do in this
crisis, alluding to the most unprecedented and unpaE,
liamentary step which the Lords have just taken in
postponing for six weeks the further consideration of
the Irish Corporation Bill, after they had acknowledged
the principle of that measure by a second reading. The
answer of Lord J. RUSSELL will, we are quite sure, give
the utmost satisfaction to the country. He gated his sur-
prise at the eond oat of the Peers, but intimated in unequi-
vocal language that he was becoming a convert to the
great doctrine of Peerage Reform. The Noble Lord said
that it was the intention of Government to proceed in
the course they had laid down
uwnitul,iflureesnpeeecdt
byto
the
other Bills relating to Ithe
intemperate and unexampled proceedings of the Lords.
But that which the country will hail with peculiar
pleasure, was the declaration that, as long as the
supporters of Ministers in the House of Com-
mons continued to them the. confidence which they
had hitherto given them, Ministers would never desert
them. This is the true language for an English Mi-
nister to hold. This is taking the bull by the horns
in earnest. Now we have some chance of seeing
which of the two Houses has the most pluck.

The supporters of Mr. LEADER held a public
meeting last night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern,
which wassrowded to suffocation. About the same
hour the Tory patrons of Sir FRANCIS- BURDETT
met in conclave at Evans's Hotel ; but it havingpre-
viously been reported that Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR
was about to make a long speech, the alarm spread,
and scarcely more than thirty Burdettites were found
courageous enough to brave the infliction. Commend
us to Sir GEORGE for the capacity to clear a room I
He is paying admirably into the hands of the opposite
party by his prolixity ; and if he will but be patriotic
enough to persevere in it, we have little doubt that he
will be the means of driving many a wearied Tory for
relief to the Crown and Anchor. It is not in
human nature to brave an hour of Sir GEORGE'S
verbiage, especially when it is of so tame and
monotonous a character as it was last night. All
that the Honourable Baronet had to urge in justifi-
cation of Sir FRANCIS'S apostacy was, that he could
not now be fairly made responsible for sentiments
uttered in the warmth of the moment, thirty years
ago. Indeed I So " Westminster's pride" never en-
tertained principles from conviction ; was never a Ra-
dical Reformer, from the dictates of a sound judgment ;
hs opinions on this subject were the mere hasty ebul-
litLns of the moment, to be repudiated at the first
suitable opportunity. He was never sincere' as a Ra-
dical. He is sincere only now, that he has become a
Tory. Well might Mr. WA RD repudiate alike such
conduct, and such a justification It gives the last
stunning blow to Sir FRANCIS'S political character;
and sinks him deeper in public estimation " than ever
plummet sounded." As if this were not enough, Sir
GEORGE SINCLAIR read a letter from his pet candi-
date, in which the latter observed, " I wish I could
attend the meeting at Evans's, but I cannot even move
from my own sofa without a pair of crutches. I am
in hopes that if I don't get well through the business
on Wednesday, I shall at least get through it alive."
The motive that urged this unique confession is evi-
dent. It is an attempt on the part of the writer to
enlist the sympathies of all his old supporters in his
behalf. Now though we regret as deeply as his best
friend can do, the infirm state of the Hon. Bart.'s
health—though none would more sincerely rejoice to see
him restored to perfect convalescence—for our quarrel
is with the politician, not the man—yet we cannot
for an instant admit the propriety of his presuming to
stand for a city like Westminster, when lie is in doubt,
on his own showing, whether he shall get through the
business of nomination " alive." Never was a stir-
ring, active Representative more required than at the
present moment ; yet here comes a candidate, whose
chief claims on the confidence of the Westminster
ctors are—first, that he is an apostate ; and, secondly,
that he is in the most infirm state of health

We allude with the less ceremony to this tinqracioul
theme, because we find that Sir FRANCIS'S supporters
are by no means qualified or courteous in their re-
marks on Mr. LEADER. Among other charges they
have thought fit to insinuate against him, one is, that
he is an Atheist ! Now if there be one man more
exemplar), than another in the discharge of his religious
duties, Mr. LEADER is that man. But he is a Re-
former ; therefore he must be an Atheist I He is
anxious to remove all Church abuses; therefore he
must be an Atheist ! Shame on the men who hold
such doctrine, and yet presume to call themselves
Christians I But Mr. LEADER will triumph in
spite of all their slanders. He is not to
be sneered down by a knot of intolerant Tories. His
success is already placed beyond a doubt—Athiest
he is, and saints as are all his opponents ! Never-
theless, the electors must not relax in their exertions,
nor deem aught gained till all is gained. They must
make " assurance" not only " sure, but " doubly
sure." In a word, they must so act as if the result
of the contest depended on the exertions of each indi-
vidual member of the constituency.
Mr. O'CONNELL, in an energetic appeal (which
we publish this day) to the Westminster electors, tells
them broadly that the fate of Ireland is in their hand,
" Both partie,," says he, " appeal to you. Men of
Westminster, what is your determination ? The choice
is before you. The people of Ireland await without
trepidation, but with deep interest, your decision ;
whatever it may be, they know that decision will be
evidence of the judgment of a large and enlightened
body of Englishmen. You may, if you please, reject
our claims ; you may neglect or spurn our demands,

but you cannot conceal from us the fact that our fate,
so far as it can depend on other than ourselves, is in
your hands.' This is troe to the letter, and affords
another argument, for `Westminster bestirring herself
in right earnest.

The important question of Triennial Parliaments
was last night brought before the House of Commons
by Mr. TENNYSON D'EYNCOURT, in the shape of
an amendment upon the Order of the Day for going
into a Committee of Supply. After an animated de-
bate, in the course of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL
made a long but very inconclusive speech against the
measure, the Right lion. Gentleman's amendment was
negatived by a majority of nine--a majority so small,
that the Radical Reformers have only to bestir them-
selves to secure the possession of this great bulwark of
popular liberty. We shall not to-day discuss the
merits of the arguments advanced on either side of the
question, as we are well aware that a more fitting op-
portunity will soon present itself. A Bill for shorten-
ing the duration of Parliaments is a natural and neces-
sary sequence of the Reform Bill ; and we have no
more doubt that it will soon be carried in spite of Whigs
and Tories combined, than we have that the Reform
Bill cannot be repealed. In .opposing such a measure,
after appearing as the champion of Parliamentary Re-
form, Lord JOHN RUSSELL betrays an absence of the
highest qualities of a Statesman—an anticipated ac-
quaintance TvithTheconsequences of his own acts, and the
necessary preparation for their adoption in the way most
rohdueive to the general welfare. The revolutions of the
wheel ought not to astonish those by whom it has ben]
put in motion. Lord J. RUSSELL and his colleagues,
In passing the Reform and Municipal Corporations
Bills, and in providing by numerous Acts for shortening
the time, and diminishing the expenses of general
tions, have effectually paved the way for a return to
the good old constitutional practice of short Parliaments.

In the Committee upon the Poor-41w for Ireland
Bill last night Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he
would move the introduction of A clause for granting
out-door relief, Chit iolgwleage of the present state
of Ireland would incline us to support such a proposi-
tion, were we not &totted by the experience of its
baneful operation upon the moral habits of the work-
ing classes in this country. Wherever employment is
to be found, out-door relief—save to indigent indivi-
duals illPap4lllo Of labour, and to small families in sea-
sons of great seareitylias a direct tendency to lower
wages, and to destroy the independent spirit of the
peasantry, by turning the hard-working, high-minded
labourer, whose morsel is sweetened by the conscious-
ness that he has purchased it with the sweat of his
brow, into a lazy, reckless, mean-spirited, parish
pauper. While the object of the Poor Law Bill is
to prevent the indigent Irish from perishing through ab-
solute destitution, oare must likewise be taken so to
frame it, that in its operation, it will rather provide
oulloiloyment for the able-bodied, than offer re-
lief In any other form. Besides it would be
almost impossible to frame a system of out-
door relief applicable to Ireland, without the
total absorption of the rent, tithes, and taxes of that
country, Indeed, we question if the whole would
suffice for such a purpose. The principle of out-
door relief, therefore, ought not to be recognised in
the Irish Bill, except so far as regards decayed old
persons, or individuals afflicted with incurable
distempers, whom it might be cruel to reduce to
the alternative of starvation, or the workhouse.
Mr. O'CONNELL is of opinion that the poor
of Ireland will not submit to the confinement of
a workhouse. Generally speaking, this is true. The
migratory and restless habits of the Irish are opposed
to confinement or restraint of any kind ; but enough
will seek shelter in workhouses to give the landlords
an interest in providing profitable employment for
them elsewhere. This is %shat we have principally in
view. The Bill must work well if it compel the aris-
tocracy to seek protection for themselves by providing
labour for the industrious peasantry of Ireland.

The Paris papers of Sunday have been received,
with letters from Bayonne and San Sebastian of the
3d inst. At the d►►parture_ of these letters there were
22,000 troops at San Sebastian and Passages ; and
the arrival of ESPA RTERO with the Royal Guards
was momentarily expected, as the signal for another
grand attack on Hernani, and the adjoining
Carlist fortifications. A courier from Madrid had
confirmed the account of the cowardly and trea-
cherous surrender of the garrison of Cantavieja
to the rebels. The men-250 in number—first
basely murdered the Governor, who resented their
treason, and then throwing open the gates, delivered
the town to the insurgents, who immediately made
themselves masters of it by the slaughter of such of
the inhabitants as offered the least resistance. The
same courier brought word that General NOGUERAS
had, on the 27th ult., engaged and routed the Carlists,
under the command of the chieftain FORCADEL.

The review held on Sunday, in celebration of the
KING'S birth-day, had not concluded up to post hour.
We shall receive an account of it with Monday's
journals. The following are extracts from Sunday's
papers :

" A striking symptom of public dis ress, and which cannot
be mistaken, has pressed severely upon the working classes for
the last six months. The plAges at the Moat de Piet6
(pawnbrokers) have been, for the above period, from 12,000 r.
to 20,000 r. a day more than they had amounted to for fifteen
years previously ; and the pledges deposited, which formerly
represented an advance of 12,000,000 f., amount now to the
sum of 14,000,000 f. Considering this fact in conjunction Kith
that of the immense sums lately withdrawn from the saving-
banks, a tolerable idea may be formed of the state of suffering
into which the working classes of the capital have fallen."__
Nouvelle Minerve.

The letters from Bayonne add nothing respecting the can-
nonade which had been heard in the direction of St. Sebas-
tian. The Sentinelle publishes the following in aP. S.:—
" Si'._ SEBASTIAN, APRIL 30.—Three steam-boats, with
troops on board, are this moment entering the port. The 7th
battalion of the 21 division of the corps of the army of Bilboa
will doubtle.‘s land to-night. A movement is expected. It
is not likely, however, that there will be anything more than a
skirmishing at the outposts till the return of Gen. Seoane,
who is the life and soul of the army."
On the other hand, a letter from St. Jean dc Luz, of May
2, is as follows :

We learn front a cow ler who has arrived at Vera, that a
brisk firing of musquetry awl cannonade were heard in the
direction of Pampeluna. There is every reason to believe
that the Carlists engage the attention of Irribarren with some
battalions left for that purpose in Navarre. Yesterday seven
Carlist horsemen, pursued by the Christinos, entered the
French territories, being immediately summoned by the Cus-
tom-house (Accra to deliver up their arms and horses. Four
or them immediately escaped, the three others were taken and
brought to Bayonne.--Journal du Commerce.
Our corre,,pondent at Toulon writes to us under the date cf
2d We have received to-day important news from
the north of Africa ; Kader, who seemed inclined to
peace with us, has reached the province of Titeri, where he is
intriguing to persuade the people in that part of the Regency to
rise, He has come to concert measures with the Bey ofikledeali
and it seems certain that his endeavours to excite the Arabs to
rise have not been fruitless. Having learned that the Hadjonites
were already in motion, and that other tribes were preparing
to follow their example, Lieutenant-General Damremont left
Algiers on the 27th, to place himself at the head of the troops
that could be spared. A quantity of artillery had already been
sent off.
This news was brought by the Fulton steam-boat, which
left Algiers on the 2Sth April. The courier from 'Bona had
just brought word that the KThyles in the environs of Bougia
were in motion, which would indicate that Abd-el- Kader is
acting in concert with the Bey of Modeah, and with Achmet,
Bey of Constantine. We wait with impatience the arrival of
the next courier.— Cohstitationnel.

ACCELERATION OF THE NORTHERN MAILS.—
On the ISth of June next part of the Birmingham
Railway will be sufficiently completed, so as to acce-
lerate the Northern mails. The Edinburgh mail, from
London, will arrive at ten o'clock- in the forenoon, in-
stead of half past one in the afternoon, as heretofore.
The London mail will leave Edinburgh at four in the
afternoon, instead of nine in the morning-, thereby
enabling correspondents to answer their letters the
same day. Dublin correspondents will gain nothing
if the London mail is sent via Liverpool, at which
place it will arrive at half-past eleven, A.M., the
average passage being eighteen hours. The Post-
office authorities will find it will be to the interest of
the public to send the Dublin mail by way of Holy-
head and Howth, as the time the mail should arrive at
Wolverhampton will be thirty-seven minutes past seven,
A.M., and at Holyhead at eight o'clock in the evening.
We understand that Major-General Sir Hugh
Gough, K. C. 8., has been placed upon the Staff of the army
serving in the East Indies, with a view of succeeding the late
Major-General Sir George Elder, K. C. 8., at Madras.
The Vicar of Leeds has formally resigned the Vi-
carage of Coventry. The bocci Chancellor has the

OKANT V. LAINSON AND OTIIERS.

Mr. Sergeant BCaIPAS, with whom was.Vl7. WORDMORTII
and Mr. Fky, appeared for the plaintiff. For the defendant
Mr. Sergeant Tat.rourto, Messrs. HILL, Ent.c. and SwAN.
This action was brought against the Sheriffs of Middlesex
and their officers for false arrest, the plaintiff not being the
identi;al person against whom the execution had been issued.
ft appeared that the plaintiff bore the same Christian and sur-
name as the person for whom the officers were in search, and
who, since the arrest took place, has come forward and declared
himself to be the debtor, and has offered to discharge the debt.
The cae had been tried in London about three years back,
when a verdict was given for the defendants, and a new trial
was granted. The present case presented nothing diff.2rent
from what occurred on the former trial, and the defence bud
only commenced when our reporter left.

Russell Charles Tyerman, 18, described as a clerk, was in-
dicted for embezzling- and stealing the sum of 2/. 3s. 9d., tte
property of Samuel Hellen and another, his mast.-. 5.. The
prioner pleaded Guilty, and although rePP
withdraw his plea, ho persisted. 14: ".:,edlv asked to
e seemed very much de-
pressed at the disgraceful sle.t,ation in which he was placed.
In answer to questi'.-iis from the Court, the prosecutor said
that he was 7. ironmonger and machinist. The prisoner had
-.en employed by him confidentially in his factory, and he also
was in the habit of collecting money. He bad lost, from time
to time, about 40/., and, on entering his service, he was
strongly recommended by respectable relations.
The RECOkDER said it was imperative on him to pasi sen-
tence of transportation upon the prisoner, as there could be no
extenuation, his crime not being the cause of poverty. The
prisoner was then put forward, and sentenced to seven years'
transportation.

William Johnson, 17, a member of a well-known gang of
thieves, was indicted for stealing a handkerchief, the property
of Charles Robert, from his person. The prisoner pleaded
Guilty to three indictments, which charged him with picking
pockets in the city of London.
The RECORDER—Prisoner at the bar, when you were appre-
hended there were found upon your person three silk handker-
chiefs. You arc likewise well-known to have been convicted
on a former occasion, and when sent to the convict-ship for
your reformation, you contrived to effect your escape, The
sentence of the Court, therefore is, that you be transported for
seven years beyond the seas.
Henry Sumner, twenty-four, stood indicted for felony, after
a previous conviction, and being found guilty was sentenced to
be transported for seven years beyond the seas.
George Mills, nireteen, was indicted for stealing a handker-
chief from Edward Parker, from his person. The facts of the
case were fully proved—Guilty. The prisoner was known by
the police to have been guilty of a similar offence on a former
occasion, and the Court sentenced him to transportation for
seven years.

John Williams, 16, another pickpocket, was indicted for
stealing in Little East Cheap a silk handkerchief, the pro-
perty of Hillary John Bauerman, from his person.—Guilt).
The prisoner was convicted on a former occasion, and the
Court sentenced him to transportation for seven years.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant ARABIN.)
Mary Anne Clarke, 21, was indicted for stealing two Fair
of spectacles, value 145., the property of William Lumpl-on
Hayes ; and on a socond indictment for stealing a pair of
ear-rings, value 145., the property of William Usherwm.d.
The prisoner pleaded Guilty.
Samuel King also pleaded Guilty to an indictment, which
charged him with stealing money, value fifteen pounds, the
property of Thomas Homewood, his master.

MORGAN V. SEAWARD.
Mr. Baron PARKE read the judgment of the Court in
this case, which was an action for the infringement of the
plaintiff's patent for improvements in paddle wheels, known
as " Morgan's wheels."
The same patent embraced an improvement in steam-
engines, but no infringement of that was complained of.
The Court decided for the plaintiff on all the pleas which
related to the paddle-wheels, and for the defendant on those
which related to the steam-engine.
The Court, however, intimated, that under the late Act
the patent might be amended, by disclaiming before the
Attorney-General so much of it as regarded tkie steam-
engine.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Taglioni appeared last
n'ght in La Sylpliqe, a ballet made for her, and made by her,
for it scarcely seems the same piece when the part of the be-.
mine is sustained by any other dancer. As an artiste Tag-
lioni is all that she used to be, but she has somewhat declined
in personal beauty ; her face has all its former innocence and
simplicity of expression, but she is evidently thinner, and al-
though it does not detract from her gracefulness, it somewhat
lessens the charm of her general appearance. She was at n°
time a luxurious dancer, and now, perhaps, she is less so than
ever; in this respect giving an advantage to Duvernay, who,
in every other, excepting lady-like deportment, is inferior to
Taglioni. She was received with great applause, went through
her task to the frequently expressed delight of the whole house
(which, however, was not filled until half-price), was encored
in her pas de deux with her brother ; and, finally, was vehe•
mently called for at the end of the performance. She seemed
fatigt el towa:•c's the close, and probably has not yt t quite re-
covered her late indisposition and confinement. Paul Tag-
lioai, her brcCler, and his wife, are good dance! s, partica•
larly the former, who is both graceful and vigorous, and in-
troduced several new steps, which the audience appreciated
and rewarded. They executed a pas de deux together, and
we are certain that the lady would have been sena to more
advantage, and have been more applauded, had she been
becomingly dressed. She contrived very effectually to hid•
the proportions of her figure. This, in a Frenchwoman, is at
least unusual.

ANOTHER HORRID MURDER OF A FEMALE•
—This morning, about the hour of six o'clock, the neigh-
bourhood of York-square, Regent's-park, was thrown iuto
state of the greatest consternation and alarm by the discovery
being made that a most atrocious and cold-blooded murder
had been perpetrated in the house of Mr. Thomas Wadley, of
the King's Arms public-house, at the corner of Laston.place,
York-square, on the body of a female named Eliza Davis,
who, for many years past, was bar-maid in Mr. Wadley's ser-
vice. The discovery of this horrid event took place under the
following circumstances ;—Matthew Hitchcock, the pot-boy,
was coming down stairs; as usual, a few minutes after sis
o'clock, when, on reaching the landing-place, be was horror-
struck at discovering the deceased lying on her face on the
stairs, with her feet uppermost, and surrounded by a pool of
blood. He instantly rushed up stairs and "alarmed hie
master, who, hastening down, found that the unfortunitte
young woman had received a cut across the front part of the
throat, which had been inflicted with such dreadful and deter-
mined violence, that the head was nearly severed from the
body. She was lying on her face, with her hands bent under
her, and had evidently fallen backwards in attempting t°
ascend the nest flight of stairs to the landing. The body was
quite warm and the blood around it, and the wound itself bval,
still smoking. A surgeon was immediately sent for, lut 01
course vitality was quite extinct. On proceeding to the bar,
Mr. Wadley discovered a large clasp knife, the blade covert ,
with blood, lying on the counter; and, from the quantity 01
blood about the place, and the peculiar construction of that
part of the premises, there was no doubt but the deceased wag
in the act of serving some person over the bar when the fatal
wound was inflicted, and that she immediately ran up stairs to
escape, but fell on the spot where her body was found.
There
was a glass half full of porter on the counter, and a pene,:,
piece, which had no doubt been put down to pay for it, 'yin&
beside it. A rigid inquiry is being prosecuted by the pollee.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND LOSS OF
This morning, about three o'clock, a fire broke out in thin
house of Mr. Furze, Cleveland-row, St. James's, which spread
with frightful rapidity. Information soon reached the station
of the London Fire Establishment in Bedfordbury, and
powerful engine soon reached the spot, by which time the
flames had reached the house of Mr. Brown, in Stable-rod'
Elizabeth Hall, the servant of Mr. Brown, was the first that
discovered the tire, from a back window in her bed-room, an A
she immediately snatched up two children that were in be'
with her, and alarmed her mistress and master, all of wilescaped without injury. About six o'clock a search looonIo0on
place in the ruins for a missing lodger in the house of r'
Furze, who was discovered with his right leg burnt cool:
pletely off, his left side scorched, and a portion of his bowel'
hanging out of the body. The remains of the deceased were
l
deposited in a shell, and removed to the adjoining hotel. Tr°o
much praise cannot be given to the Coldstream Guards for te
assistance they afforded to the Establishment and Coil
firemen ; it is with great regret we statethat the supply of °att.%
was anything but adequate for a considerable time after to
fire broke out. The house and stock of Mr. Furze are en:
tirely destroyed ; but of that of Mr. Brown only the upper Part.
How the fire originated is unknown.
