relief of the distressed manufacturers, to he applied to the
use of the sufrrring classes in the villages in that neighbour-

who have so laudably undertaken the renewed inquiry
into the condition of the poor operative., and who have
communicated the result of their inquiries to the London
Committee, to witness so speedy and beneficent a result of
their labours.—Leeds Mercury.

On Saturday an inquest was held at the White
Horse, at Brixton, on the body of MARY WATTS, a mar-
ried female. From the evidence adduced it appeared that
the deceased was an immoderate gin-drinker, and that all
the money she could " rap and ring" was.spent in the in-
dulgence of this fatal propensity. She was in the habit of
not only pledging her own clothes but those of her husband
to mist moitey to purchase gin, which she would drink to
a great excess. The day on which she lost her life her
husband went out is the morning, and during his absence
it appeared that she got drunk, and while in that state
her clothes caught fire. It is imagined that he was so
totally deprivA of sense or motion ft um the er etc of the
liquor she h.id drank, that tendered it impossi!.'.a for her
to give any alarm, for on the entrance of her husband in
the afternoon, he found her remains near the fire-place,
burnt in such a dreadful manner as to render it iinrossiiile
to distinguish a single feature. A verdict of c• Accidental
death" was returned.
