MURDER OF ANN‘WEST, duds WIIITERFLOOD.
-Our readers will recolle& the barbarous murder of
this young woman; a sort-time since, in Higler's-
lane, near the King's Bench Prison:
Yesterday a young man, who was brought from
the Borough, by desire of Mr. GRAHAM, underwent
a long examination before that Magistrate, on sus-
picion of being the murderer. .We understand the
grounds of suspicion are some expressions which he
made use of, in the presenCe of two witnesses, rela-
tive. to his knowledge of the murder.
• Thp Prisoner, in his defence, said, if he did use
the expressions be is charged with, he was intoxi-
cated and did not know what he said. •

He was ordered to remain in close confinement,
at the Brown Bear public-house, opposite the Otßee.

. The Quakers in the States of Pennsylvania, and
New York; in America, having contemplated the
objea of assisting the Native Indians in introducing
among them the comforts of civilized life, appointed
a deputation of their members) with the concurrence of
the American Secretary of State, to confer with some
of the Indian Chiefs for that purpose, which, after
several conferences, has so far succeeded, that some
plots of land in the Indian Settlement are cultivated;
and the trades of smiths, carpenters, weavers, &c. are
learned and learning by the natives. Some Friends,
from the,above States have resided amongst .them at
different times, to teach them the pradice of hus-
bandry, and other useful occupations to defray the
„expence of which, and to purchase implements of
husl;andry, and Mechanical tools, a liberal subscrip-
tion has been made by the Friends in America ; and
IrOni a desire to extend the benevolent design further
among the Indian Tribes, the Quakers in this nation
have made sulscriptions ; and in Leeds, we are well
informed, a considerable sum has been subscribed
for the same laudable purpose.

An ,inquest was taken last week at Dursley, on the
body of John Vpin, aged 84 (a pauper in the Work-
house there), who hanged himself on the Saturday
preceding to the sßan-beam in his bed-chamber. It
appeared that this unfortunate man was one of the
six marines seleiled to shoot the late Admiral BYNG,
and had often been heard to say, he was sure his ball
killed him. In consequence of his deranged state of
mind the verdi6t was Lunacy. • ,
Wednesday evening, as Win. Warren, waggoner
to Mr. WHITE, of Warminster, was driving his mas-
ter's 'waggon from thence to Giles's-hill Fair, he fell
off the shafts near Salisbury • the wheels went over'
him, and he was most severely bruised. He was
taken to the Salisbury Infirmary, and one Parker was
hired in his place ; but ere he had proceeded many
miles; Parker also fell from the wsiggon, near Win-
terslow Hut, and had one of his legs broken, and was
otherwise much bruised. In this state he lay on the
road nearly six hours; at length he was. taken up,
and brought to the Infirmary almost lifeless from
lying so long in ,the wet ; but there are now hopes
of his recovery.

Tuesday selnnight W. King, of Addershury, who
was going to be married to Miss Williams, was taken
into custody but a few yards from the church-door,
for leaving a former family chargeable at Adders-
bury. His intended bride had just entered the
chtirch.

The very great Sale of Tickets and Shares in the
ensuing Lottery may be easily accounted for, there
being 5000 less Tickets and more Capital. Prizes than
last Lottery. The Ad of Parliament authorises the
licensed Offices to appoint any persons as their Agents
to sell (without a licence) Tickets and Shares in every
city, town, and village, in the United Kingdom. This.
new regulation has increased the sale-beyond all for-
mer Lotteries.
