APPALLING DISCOVERY.—This morning the col-
lector of assessed taxes, with his broker, was proceeding to
levy for land and property-tax on the premises, situate at
No. 10, Cannon-street, City, from which the furniture bad
been previously removed ; after taking the counter,
&c., below, they proceeded up stairs, when, to their horror
and surprise, they discovered the corpse of a woman laid out
in a middle room on the second floor. Whether it be the
body of Mary Ann Bobbett, who bad been keeping the
house, which was a beer-shop or not, the jury this evening,
no doubt, will decide. The churchwardens have given the
barman and servant-girl into custody, they having calla at
the house some time after the discovsy was made.
A DETERMINED SUICIDE.— X esterday afternoon
alarm was excited by a strong smell of smoke and sulphur
from a house in Greyhound-court, Water-lane, Strand, oc-
cupied by a shoemaker named Daviss. Two engines were
instantly on the spot, and several parties forced ope_navlifes
room whence the smoke escaped, when they beheld
lying insensible on the floor, enveloped in a dense smoke
d with brimstone
which emanated from a pot close by him,
and charcoal. The unfortunate man hadficllloe ed the chimney,
y!
and covered every cranny withnper.Hse was taken to
quarrels and dis-
the hospital in a hopeless state. Domestic
tress are alleged to be the causes ilch induced him to at-
tempt the rash act.
it is proposed to establish a hop-market at Maid-
stone, and steps have been taken to obtain support for the
project, which appears likely to be realised. The example
of Lewes is quoted in favour ofthe plan.
ROYAL HARVEST.--It seems that grass is allowed
to grow along the fortifications of Paris, and that it is cut
every year. Louis Philippe is determined to make hay aa
194 pa the sun shMee.--ftinclt.
