CORONER'S- I NauEsl7,—Op Monday an. Inquest
was held. at
,the St Andrew's Head, in Upper East
Smithfield, before Mr. VINTAVt N.,. the Coroner, on
the body of a man wlio was disedVered iu Pnw.pe's
Wharf, mangled •in a Most sloicking manner, and
tied up in Ithatnper, m,om was to be sent to Scot,.
laud. After a view of the body, which lay at the
Wharf, the Jury returned to the St. Andrew's
Head, for the decision of the verdict.
Mr. Foss, a clerk in the wharf; was the first
witness that was examined. He deposed; that-
early on last. Tuesday,se'nnight two despicable
looking .men came with a horse and cart, before
the wharf was opened, and enquired if the Leith
smack went from there,..for that they had a ham-
per to send to Edinburgh ; being told it did, they
went into a public-house, and had some gill, while
\!r. Foss opened the warehouse ; it • not being
light he asked the direction, which they told hint,.
and that it was on the hamper, which he after-
wards found -to be "Mr. Wilson, :janitors
Cnl-
lege, Edinburgh."
In consequence of the unusual hour at which
they came, he asked their names, which one of
them said was Chapman, and then departed. The
hamper•lay in the warehouse till last Friday,when
the vessel was ready to sail. The hamper was put-
' on hoard, and the crew thought sonic uncommon
bad. smell came from it, and turned it round two
or tlkeee times to ascertain the cause, when the
bottom broke, and a pet son's hand came through.
This created 'alarm, and the circumstanee was
made known to the Beadle, to report it to the'
proper officers, and on opening the hamper, a
naked belly of a man was found, with his head bent
back behind his shoulders, his tongue cut out, and
his belly sewed up ; both the feet cut a little
above the anclez., and the other part of the
legs and thighs were bent up to tire bClly, to
put the whole of the' body. in a small compass.
The tongue and feet were not found, and the body
altogether was in a putrid.state. • 7 he Beadle was
next examined. Having seen the banner opened,
he corroborated the above evidence as far a's re-
lated to the state of the bodv • am! on being ask-*
ed by one of the Jurymen, whether he thought
the body was taker by any resurrection men for
the purpose of dissection, he said he believed it
had never been buried. The Jury, after a short
consultation, returned a Verdict of 1-t1 Murder
against some person or persons unknou,u.

NIURDER.—On Friday last died, aged 31, Mr.
GEORGE flupsoN, bricklayer, of Swalfhatn, its
-
consequence of a dreadful fracture of the skull,
given with a large kitchen poker by one English,
a dragoon; at the lied Lion, a few days before.—
'The Coroner's Inquest sat ou the body On Satur-
day, and after a long mid 'minute examination of
several Witnesses before the Cormier and "Magis-
trates, the Jury brought in their.verdict of Wilful
Murder, against the soldier, and warrants are is,
sued for his apprehension.

DARING ROBBERY.—The Mill belonging to
Mr. PARTON, situate at Tenterden, has of late
been several times robbed of quantities of Flour,
&c. On Friday last, Parton and his grinder
were determined to lay %wait .for the miscreants,
and secreted themselves in the mill for
that purpose, armed. About twelve o'clock
three men entered the mill, 'it is supposed by
false keys, and were in -the act of filling their
sacks with' flour front the trotigh, when they
espied Parton and his man, whom they attacked,
and a desperate conflict ensued.---,Parton attempted
to fire his pistol at one of the robbers, but un-
fortunately it missed ; the robber then knocked
Parton down, and attempted, with an instrument,
to put out his eyes ; the grinder seeing his toaster
that pePi;ous i.;:::2 lion, gave the robber asevere
cut across the legs %rid) his sabre ; another CaUle
up, knocked the grinder down, and.attempted to
take the sabre from him, but in the act he cut oil
two of the robber's fingers. The grinder getting.
up, fOund-his master in the.sanie situation, with
the robber upon him, whom he immediately fired
at—the contents of the pistol lodged in his body;
the other two then matte.their escape. The rob-
who was shot, and whose name was Hart, they
conveyed to Tenterden Town for surgical assist-
ance, but he died in about eight hours ; before
he expired, he disclosed the names of his accom-
plices, Brignal and Page, .with others, amounting
to eight in number ; and we trust and hope, from
the great exertions now making, they, will ere
long be brought to condign punishmeut.—plaid-
acne Journal, Jan. 3.)

On Monday evening, the 26th ult:between the
hours of five and six o'clock, a most daring af-
ternpt at robbery was made upon Capt. Woolsten-
holme; late of the Guards, who, with his Lady,
was on his way to the North. Upon their reach-
ing Black-Bush-lane, the drivers were ordered to
stop, and a sit-tit was fired, when tour men ap-
peared ; upon the approach of one of them to the
driving seat, a pistol was discharged by Capt. W.
one having previously missed fire ; this took ef-
fect, as the robber instantly fell, and the drivers
pressing forward, the intention of the ruffians was
frustrated; they, however, fired two more shots
atter the carriage, fortunately without doing any
injury. The proximity to the town, and the
early hour at' which the attack was made, are suf-
ficient probfs of the audacity of the gang.—
(Drogheda Journal)
On Friday, the 23d ult. between the hours of 2
and 3 o'clock in the morning, the dwelling house
of Henry Monnagh, of Drumgora, parish 01 Lur-
gan, County of Cavan, farmer, was broken open
by four wen—three entered, with their faces and
hands blackened ; one of them cut Monnagh's
head with a small sword, and gave him a severe
stab in the thigh. They robbed him of a pocket-
book, in which were sixteen or seventeen pounds
in Bank notes, and a tin cannister in which were
25 guineas in gold. The fourth man-remained.as
a watch at the door., They thew got a prayer-
book, and swore the man, his wife and daughter,
not to 'make any alarm, or stir from the house,
until after sun-rise.—(ibid.)

•On Monday night some villain entered the
coach-yard of the Cross Keys Inn, in Grace-
church-street, and feloniously stripped and carried
away the cloth-lining of one of the iVookvich
stage-coaches.
