NEWPORT.—This island (particularly the Northern part) is suffering
severely for want of rain—few of the meadows having sufficient grass on
them to pay the expence of mowing—in the early part of the spring
there were frosts every night, since which there has been a parching
Easterly and Northerly wind. There being three bad hay seasons, this
is seriously felt by the farmers.
The island has been plentifully supplied with mackarel, at a very
cheap rate, vast quantities having been taken at the back of the island.

MURDER IN THE WATERLOO-ROAD.

CORONER'S INQUEST.
This day the adjourned inquest was held at the York Hotel, Water-
loo-road, respecting the death of Eliza Grimwood.
The Coroner stated that he bad received several letters upon the sub-
ject of this enquiry, of which some were disgusting and indecmt. Any
one who had any thing
to communicate ought to come forward at the
inquest.

The Foreman of the Jury said that he also had received letters of a
similar character.

The Solicitor for the friends of the deceased, said that he alsl had re-
ceived letters through Mr. Norton the Mag!strate, some of which sug-
gested particular modes of enquiry.
George Francis, of 12, Bridge-road, Lambeth, stated that he knew
the witness Owen, who was examined on Monday last, and who told a
story about seeing a man, in the house of the deceased, on the morning
of the murder, walking up and down the hall in an agitated manner,
making suspicious exclamations, and having marks of blood upon his
hands. Mr. Francis said that he considered Owen unworthy of
belief. That person had been for some time past living upon fraud.
Mr. Bryan, landlord of the Bell public-house, in the York road,
Lambeth, also knew Owen, and considered him unworthy of bo:icf. He
was in the habit of imposing upon charitable societies, and would trump
up any story to get money by it.

One of the Jury confirmed the statements of those witnesses, and
considered Owen a thorough impostor.
Inspector Field said that he went with the witness Edwin to look for
the foreigner whom she had described; but having walked about with
her for some hours, she was not able to point the man out. He went to
all the gaming houses and theatres, but could see no one to correspond
with the description given by Edwin. He went also to the confectioner's
shop where she said the foreigner let fall the knife, or dagger, when he
threatened the deceased's life. There was no private room such as she
had described. The proprietor of the house said that no person like the
foreigner of her story was there upon the day she spoke of. 'Witness
did not believe that there was any truth in her statement. She had told
the jury in her evidence that her medical a:tendant was bleeding her
when some one said that deceased was murdered, and that she fainted on
the instant. The medical gentleman contradicted her in this. She had
been for some time in close conversation with Hubbard before she came
before the Jury. . .

Field then produced some small trowels, a pointing tool, and a pen_
knife, which he had found in the kitchen of Hubbard's house. These
were shown to Mr. Hanly, the surgeon, who gave his opinion that none
of the wounds inflicted upon the deceased bad been inflicted by those
instruments.

Inspector Field, in answer to the Jury, said that he found five dessert
knives in a drawer in deceased's room. He understood that there was
one missing. There had been six ; the six silver forks belonging to the
set were in pawn. Miss Glover told witness that Hubbard had seven
shirts—only six were now to be found. Glover had marked them ; they
were numbered from No. 1 to No 7, and No. 5 could not be found.
Witness had searched the houses of Hubbard's brother and mother, but
he could find nothing which he could connect with the murder.
Joseph Spicknell, a cab driver, stated that he thought the gentleman
whom he drove home with the deceased in his esb, on the night before
murder, was a foreigner. Witness could add nothing to his former
tevidence.
Ann Slim of 19, Bond-street, Lambeth, stated that Coe house in
which she lives is opposite to the rear of Hubbard's house. s, The houses
are back to back. On the morning of the murder she was awoke about
three o'clock, by a noise which she thought was her sister calling her.
She (*Guild it was not so, and she looked out of the window of the back
parlour, which is considerably below the window of Hubbard's parlour.
The public lamps in the street were put out at the tints. She saw the
man lotting them out. She did not see him going up the ladder, but
she saw him coming down.—(A•laugh.) She thought she saw the light
of a candle from one of the opposite windows, but could not swcar that
it was from Hubbard's. She heard a dog bark.
Mary Fisher, the servant of deceased, was again examined, but nothing
material was elicited. During the whole time she knew deceased and
Hubbard, which was five years, she had never known him to strike her.
They sometimes quarrelled, but made it up again. Hubbard once went
down to Essex to work, and deceased became uneasy about his forming
a connection with another female. She went after him and fetched him
back. They were very good friends afterwards. Deceased used to
leave Hubbard's bed in the night when gentlemen called. She did so
with his knowledge and sanction, and he never quarrelled with her or
threatened her for it. Witness did not know that Hubbard objected to
any one in particular visiting the deceased, unless it was the person
from Birmingham; but he cooked the dinner for that person when he
was last in town. He used very seldom to go from home. Ile did not
watch the persons who caine home with the deceased. He used to be
quite frightened lest any one should be seen.
Inspector Field here stated that he had just found the missing knife.
It did not correspond with the wounds.
Charles Burgess Gough, police constable, 31 L, went into the room
where the murder was committed between five and six in the morning.
I looked under the bed. There was no utensil ; but a utensil was upon
the washing stand, with a jug. Hubbard came in with the doctor while
I was there. He seemed very much confused at the time, and said very
little. I don't recollect what he said. I saw some drawer open—he
said he had opened the looking glass drawer. He appeared very anxious
to hear what intelligence had been gained about the murder, and repeat-
edly enquired how Inspector Field and Serjeant Price had sue-
ceeded in their enquiries. I have been in constant attendance on
Hubbard shier the murder. On Friday evening last, about eleven
o'clock, after having his head upon his hand, he exclaimed, "Oh ! my
dear Eliza! Oh to God!--" and then he murmured something which I
slid not hear. Last night he groaned very loud in bed, and starting up,
cried out (so as to be heard all over the house), " Oh, my dear Eliza:"
He stared at me for wale sNonds as though he did pot know p=,4110

ENGRAVINGS FROM THE DRESDEN
GALLERY, Pain. L
London, Colnaghi, 1838.

The Dresden Gallery of Paintings, so say Dirs. Trolloppe
and other travellers, has long been celebrated on the con-
tinent, for the number anal variety of pictures it contains,
and the general excellence of their execution ; we hail,
therefore, with great pleasure Mr. Hanfstaenge's proposal
to publish in occasional parts—that is to say, parts which
will be brought out yearly, at intervals of from three to
four months—engravings of the best paintings contained in
this famous gallery. Such a proposal needs only to be
generally known to become popular. The first part, which
is now lying before us, contains not less than three plates,
each of which is engraved with rare ability—especially the
one representing a lady standing at a harpsichord.

NEWTON FOSTER.
London, Bentley, 1838. •
This tale, which is one of Captain Marryat's earliest and
best, forms the sixty-seventh volume of the Standard
Novels, and is embellished with two engravings, neither of
which are above the ordinary averaw of merit.

THE PREMATURE MARRIAGE,
London, Din'ton, 1838.
A stnple moral tale, founded, says the author, on facts,
and told in a very intetigent, unaffected manner.

Pole Tylney Long Wellesley, Sir Cavendish Steward Rumbold, Bart.,
Sir Andrew Leith Hay, Bart., and others.

NAPOLEON IN PRIVATE LIFE.---Only those
who knew Napoleon in the intercourse of pr:vate life can render justice
to his character. For my own part, I know him, as it were, by heart ;
and in proportion as time separates us, he appears to me like a bcatiful
dream. And would you believe that, in my recollections of Napoleon,
that which seems to me to approach most nearly to ideal excellence is,
net the hero, filling the world with his gigantic fame, but the man,
viewed in the relations of private life. This is a contrast which often
affords me a theme for curious and interestiogreflection.—Reccollections
of Caulincourt, Duke of Vicenza.

gave
Last evening the members of the Navy Club
a grand dinner at the Thatched House Tavern to Earl Minto, as First
Lord of the Admiralty. Admiral Sir 11. Digby presided, and there
were upwards of fifty gallant and distinguished officers present, amongst
whom were—Lord Melville, Lord J. O'Brien, Lord F. Gordon, Ad-
inirals Sir C. Ogle, Sir C. Adam, Sir G. Martin, Sir R. Collier, Sir 13.
Martin, Sir H. L. Baker, Sir H. Hart, Sir T. Rodd, Sir G. Parker, Sir
A. Drummond, Sir G: Moore, Sir T. Hervey, Sir J. Beresford, Sir T.
Trowbridge, Sir H. Pigot, Sir T. Dundas, Sir G. Hammond, Sir C. Sul.
livan, Sir A. Clifford, Sr G. Seymour, Sir A. Maitland, &c.
Yesterday morning, about half-past six o'clock, a
youth named Hendrick, between thirteen and fourteen years of age,
whose parents reside in North-street, Haggerston, whilst bathing in
the Regent's Canal, got out of his depth, and, being unable to swim,
was drowned.

Yesterday forenoon, as the wife and family of a
man named Cawthorn, a coarlismith, residing in Great James-street,
Lisson_grove, were at dinner, they were alarmed by a noise, proceeding
from one of the attics, and on one of his daughters
going up stairs to
ascertain the cause, she was horror-struck on discoveringher father sus-
pended by a cord to the rail of the bedstead. An alarm was instantly
givcn, and the miserable man, who had evidently been drinking, was cut
down in a lifeless state. Mr. Long, a surgeon, residing on the spot, was
promptly in attendance, and the unfortunate man soon 'showed signs of
recovery. No cause can be assigned for the rash act.
CORONATION FESTIVITES. At Liverpool there
is to be a grand regatta, besides the public demonstrations. Several
yachts and boats will be present from Chester, Dublin, Cork, Belfast,
and other places. The esplanade, about three quarters of a mile in
length, and capable of accommodating many thousand persons, is admi-
rably adapted for viewing a scene of this kind. At York there is to be
a public procession, a public dinner, a grand ball, and bountiful provi-
sion for the poor. The inhabitants of Wisbeach have resolved on giving
a dinner of roast beef and plum pudding, vegetables, and beer, to 5,000
poor persons. Mr. Labouchere has contributed 1001. towards a similar
festivity at Taunton. At Reading a dinner to the poor will form the
principal feature in the public proceedings of the day. At Chelmsford,
Colchester, and Saffron Walden, the same course will be pursued.
THE CORONATION.—The Royal procession will
zoo
proceed from Buckingham Palace by Constitution-hill, Piccadilly, St.
James's.street, Pali-mall, Corkspur-street, Charing-cross, Whitehall,
amid Parliament street, to Westminster Abbey, and return to Bucking-
h4lll I'i:dace by the satnerotttg.
