n Inquest was 'held, yesterday
afternoon, at the Freemasoes' Arms, Hampsteatlfebefbro Mr.
STIRLING, the Coroner, on the body of a-evoman whose tame
was unknown. A young gentleman named Johnson said nn
Monday he was going out for the purpose or fishing, and he saw
the woman sitting by the side of one of the popfle with her head
almost bent between her knees. She appeared to he in 'a very
desponding condition. On returning. home hd saW the* womiii
in the water calling for assistance; he endeavoured to save her,
hut she sunk and was rot ti.ken out.until She -Wa•i" quiti V&A:2.
After this evidence had been laid before the Jury, aletter was
read by the Foreman which the Coronar had received froth !Ur
Bodkin, of the Illendieity Society. It stated that abo'4t two '
months since he was fortunate enough tb 'save a. woman from
drowning, in the New River, near Islington, between 11;and
12 o'clock at night. She was taken care of for the ;night, and
the following morning brought before the Magiatratesat
ton-garden, and she proved to be the wife of a man who lived
in Leather-lane. She had several -children, particularly twin
infants whom she was then suckling, and ,it appeared site
attempted to commit suicide under the.mflUence 'or lienat; she
left home. Having occasion to beat Ilampeteadiearly op Wed..
nesday morning, Al r. Bodkin. heard that a womanbal been found
drowned in one of the ponds on the Heath, and, by a remark.
able coincidence, the gentleman at whose house Mr. Bodkin
was, assisted in dragging the pond. By his description; 'NT.
Bodkin was at once satisfied she was the same pcison whose lifs
he had before preserved, and upon examining the 'body' he
found it to be so. He then went on to state, thatthe sent to
London and informed her husband and friends of the circum-
stance, when the husband expressed himself to be very sorry
that the gentleman had taken his wife out of the river.
B. apologised for not attending the inquest, ashe yvasvompelled
to attend on business in Bedfordshire :—The Beadleinformed
the Jury, that as Mr. Bodkin undertook to apPriZe' the
woman's friends of her death, and which he felt convinced he
had done, he expected the husband•would have claimed the
body. lie was, however, mistaken, for up to that time he had
seen none of her friends, and he was afraid he should he obliged
to bury the body the following. day; in consequenee of the into-
lerable heat of the weather. The Jury observed, that ft would
be advisable to adjourn the Inquest, and summon the husband
before them, when he might explain his singular and unfeeling
conduct.—The Conowxie said, that the twsband, if hewer:
calltd, would be only able to speak to the woman's insanity,
and he thought that no person who was in her senses Would
ever make such repeated attempts to deprive herself of exietenee,
certainly considered the husband had acted in a very un-
feeling manlier, but he could not see the utility of having Min
summoned before the Jury—The Jury, after having taken
view of the body, returned the follewing verdict;__" That the
deceased drowned herself, and was, at the time, supposed to he
in a state of Temporary Derangement."

So great is the drought, and the consegneot
deficiency of water, that even the Life Goardc,
at Hyde Park Barracks, were yesterday 'morn-
ing obliged to fetch their water from the Serpens

[13R171311 pnEss,

The Greek question at this moment occupies
almost exclusively the attention of the .politicians
of France. •M. de Chateaubriand has p'iblished
an eloquent appeal on behalf of the Christians of
the East. He terms it simply the Prospectus of
a suhic.ritstion in their favour.. It appears to be
written in his best style, and has produced's, deep
impression on the political circles of Paris. The
French Government, it is known, observe a very
suspicious neutrality as to this struggle. They
are desiroas of establishing the most friendly re-
lations with the Pacha of Egypt, and with that
view they have permitted their military officers
to organise his troops, and take commands in hi. 4
service. The expedition, of Ibrahim Pacha is
under the direction of Frenchmen, who, while so
employed, continue to receive their half-pay. It
is also said that the treasure of Ibrahim was, for
safety sake, conveyed from Alexandria to Nl°,
don in a French vessel, and that the French Am-
bassador at Constantinople gave his assistance
in equipping and provisioning the Ottoman army, •
by which Missolonghi was invested. The policy
of this conduct is as questionable as its justice.
Much better would it be for France to form a
connexion with an independent and permanent
state, than to attempt to derive any commercial.
advantages from an uncertain intercourse with a
barbarian, the stability of whose pdwers can
never be assured for a month. A-midst all the
difficulties by which they are from various causes
surrounded, we are glad to find that the Greeks
pursue their object with steadiness and success.
Et was reported at Constantinople that Ibrahim
Pacha-bad been defeated by COlocolioni. Should
this intelligence be confirmed, the contest will
be at an end, The French General Boyer, in
the Egyptian service, is said to have died of the
wounds he received during the siege of Navarino.
His death will be a serious loss to the Mahometans.
The raising of the blockade of Missolonghi is partly
explained by the circumstance of the capture of
the transports having on board the greater part of
their materiel for the intended siege of that place.
These vessels fell into the hands of the Greeks,
in their rate victory over the Capitan Paella. The
Divan, however, maintain their haughtiness un-
abated. . The Reis Effendi enter into no dis-•
cussion with the foreign Ministers regarding
Greece, which the Sultan persists in conaidering
as an integral portion of his domi,..ions.

[NEW TIMES.]
General Canterac, one of the Royalist Com-
manders who were defeated in Peru, has published
a letter which may be regarded as a curious his-
torical document. This officer is a French-
man, who, with the permission of his Sovereign,
had entered into the Spanish service. Report
had stated that he had quarrelled with the Vice-
roy La Serna, as well as with Valdez, and that
General Olaneta, disagreeing .with them all, had
joined the independents. General Canterac
most positively denies the whole of these state-
ments, with the exception of Olaneta's, hav-
ing been guilty of some instaordination. lie
however asserts that Olaneta, as well as all
the others, was a firm Loyalist; and that they
ail concurred .with equal and •stedfast good will
in supporting the Royal cause. Geueral Can-
terac is acknowledged to be a :man of bravery
and military talent ; and as he speaks with great
respect of La Serna and Valdez, we must sup-
pose that they are able and valiant officers. If
therefore his present statement he correct, 14e•
can only coeceive that their failure was -owing
to a total destitution of military means for pro-
longing the war against Bolivar ; for it is to-
lerably clear that the Peruvians themselves
took very little part in the contest. Now,
if such be the case, what possible chance
can Spain have of reconquering this vast and
distant territory ? If the Spanish Government
could not send out supplies to recruit a force al7
ready in the field, under able and• zealous corn:
manders, what prospect is there that it wily ever
be able to send out a totally new expedition from
Europe, capable of re-couq-uering the contries
they have lost ? General Canterac's testimony
seems decisive on this point.

[Tlf E T ?A ES .]
We have the authority of the Austrian Ob-
server for asserting, that if there was not a full
Congress of legitimate Kings and Ministers the
other day at Milan, a quorum at least attended in
that capital sufficient to carry into full effect one
or more of the purposes of legitimacy. A Con-
vention, signed with the King of Naples, or we
fear imposed upon him by Austria, prolongs the
occupation of the Neapolitan territory from May,
1826, to March, 1827. It is a fact worth notice,
though not altogether surprising, that these con-

ientions between occupying Powers and the GCCU.
OW, have seldom for their object to abridge, but
generally to protract, the occupation. That it
should be so in Spain is very natural, a French
forcebeing obviously necessary to restrain- those
troublesome transports of affection- which all
true Spaniards have long -been eager to in-
dulge in towards Ferdinand the Beloved.—
, But why should such • a strange incum-
.- brance as an Austrian army be fastened in this.
manner upon Naples ? No fury, either of ten-
derness or hatred, need there be feared between
the King of the Two Sicilies and his subjects.

wretched level, and to brutalize all the gifts
