ALLEGED MURDER.

Last night. an Inquest was held at`Saint Bartholomew's
hospital, on the body of Johanna Rourke, aged thirty, who
-was supposed to have been murdered by tier husband, who
is at present in custody on the charge of murder.—Ann Her-
ring, of No. 2, New-street, North-square, deposed that the de-
ceased lived in the same house with her husband. On Mon-
day fortnight, witness was alarmed by screams which proceeded
from the first floor, where the deceased lodged. Witness went
down stairs,-and heard high words and blows between her and
her husband. Witness begged of him to desist from beating
her, but he would not, and eventually he forced the deceased
out of the room : she was dreadfully beaten about the head
and face; -she complained to witness of being very ill, and
went to a doctor ; she shewed witness her legs and arms, which
were covered with bruises; the deceased uitimately went into
the hospital, where she died: Several witnesses corroborated
this tesurnony.--Mr. Pierre, surgeon, attended the deceased,
who was afflicted with a dangerous disease called the " land
scurvy," which caused her death, and certainly not the blows.
—Mr. Normal, the -surgeon, corroborated the above witness,
and the Jury returned a verdict of—" Died by the visitation of
God." "

WHITE-BA has long been a mystery even
with those who most delighted in the taste of this
favourite City dainty, under what species of fish
it might he classed. It has recently been nseer-
tained, that white halt, of which so many thou-
sands are devoured within' sight of Blackwall-and
Greenwich in the course of the season, are in fact
the young of the shad.

KING GEORGE TIM SECOND.—HIS MAJESTY,
after dinner, generally made it a rule to visit the
Countess of YARMOUTH. In passing through the
apartments one evening, attended only by a single
Page, a small canvas bag with guineas dropped
on the ground, and one of them rolled into a
closet where wood was generally kept. After
the Page had picked up the money, the KING
found that one guinea was wanting, and conclud-
ing where it went, said to the Page, " Come, we
must find this guinea—help me to throw out the
wood." The Page fell to work, and with some
diffiCulty found the guinea.—" Well," said 'the
KING, " you have laboured hard for the guinea,
so' take it, but I would not have any thing lost."
—This pecuniary habit marked his MAJESTY'S
COOdOEt through life.
A Wag com7lains that the " Living Skeleton"
should have taken up his quarters in St. James's
—he ought to have gone to Mary-le-bone.

in the highest terms, both of the music and the
dramatic construction. Mr. BRAHAM, of course,
is to be the hero of the Pince, and Mr. IliwEs,
whose superintendance of .Der Freiscluitz was so
effectual, is, it seems, to take an active part on
the ensuing occasion.

SANDFO 11. D ClLEEK.—Sandford Creek, near the
residence of Lady CREMORNE, at Chelsea, is now the object
of speculation. Lord KENSINGTON and Lord HOLLAND
to Kensington. fhe excavation has been going
have undertaken t 9 widen the Channel, and make it navigable
on
nr bargessome up
time,
and the work advances very fast. The old
bridge which went over this Creek in the King's private road,
has been taken down, and a new one is building. The abut-
ments
wt3iall noreatlorefacdoyumrseadbee open totileiridge is complete, the
road carriages. Passengers find
a way over the Creek by going over planks laid for the purpose.
Those who adventure upon this .
fragile pass, are exposed to
some danger. Considerable capital applied to the undertak-
ing, which affords encouragement to industry, and when brought
to maturity, will prove a public benefit.
