A correspondent informs us, that he has lately
paid a visit to Ann Moore,. the fasting .woman, of
Tutbury,- who appears to look as well as she did
two years ago. It is now near five years since she
either ate or drank any thing. Her countenance is
pleasant and agreeable: She reads a great deal, and
appears very religiously inclined. Her answers are
amazingly. quick, and she4Fonverses with a great.
deal of good sense, .she is about 51 year 4 of age,
and about the middle size. When asked if she was
not tired of her miserable state of life, she answered
No ; that she .was to wait the will of (led. She
appears to be very anxious to :know what is the
public opinion- respecting her, which seems to
weigh heavy on .her mind. The -vomen who look
after her say, that she has:totally lost the use, of
.her limbs from the body downwards, and Within
the last three, months has, in a great meaAre,
fallen off, from which a gentleman of 'the faculty,
who is. in the habit of, visiting her, considers her

. On Saturday morning, ;at eight o'clock -a woman-
was observed to mount the Aalustrade, about the
centre arch of Blackfriars •Bridge, from whence
she precipitated herself:into the river.' A boatman,
who was near the spot, inimediately proceeded to
her assistance, and the unfortunate WOTIIf 11 was
,soon af.tet taken up, and carried in estate of insen-
slhility:to Christ Church watch-house, where she
recovered her senses. 4hethen said she. remembered
throwing herself off the -bridge and that she did
not wish to be saved. Her huslaand was a hatter,
out of employ, who bad left. her to go into the
country. in. search of the means 9f support. Being
in great distress,. she had taken the desperate re-
solution of jumping into the Thames. She was
finally conveyed to her home in a dangerous state.
Tuesday last, a young man enlisted in the Ma,
rives, . at Oxford, was sworn in on Wednesday
night, deserted the following morning, and was
apprehended at Witnev. Previous to his being
handcuffed, he asked for soine beer, and, after
drinking it, cut his throat with a razor.
EXF cyTioN.=--this morning Daniel Davis was,
pursuant to his sentence, executed for forgery,
upon the top of the New Prison, Horseknonger-
lane. It appeared that this unfortunate criminal
had, from the moment of his conviction, enter-
tained no hopes whatsoever of being pardoned,
and therefore prepared himself with becoming for-
titade to meet that fate the laws of his country
had doomed him to suffer, for an offence unpar-
donable, and at nine o'clock he was conducted by
Mr. Ives, the gaoler, upon the platform, where he
was attended by the Rev. J. MANN, with whom
he remained a few minutes in prayer, and' the, rest
of the awful ceremony being then assigned to the
executioner, he was. immediately launched off, and
his body, after being suspendioti the usual time,
was 'cut down,' and -delivered to -114 friends. for
interment, who were waiting to carry it off. •

COURT OF CHAI4-CLI:Y, AuGUSt 9

.i7partellTHlTpil'EAD in the matter of SHAW.

This was an application on the part of Mem%
Whitbread and Co: who were creditors cf tha
bankrupt, to haveliberty to sell the lease of his
dwelling-houszc, over which they had a lien, Vie
same having been deposited with them in security
of 10001. advanced to the bankrupt, at the time
he entered the houSe. There was another cre-
ditor, who had also advanced to the bankrupt, at
the time of entering to the house, GOO/. ; and, on
his part, it was now -contended,- that the lease
had been deposited with Mr. Whitbread, as ase-
curity for his debt also. Besidei these two sums,
Mr. Whitbread had, of a more recent date, ad-
vanced to the bankrupt 1001. and he now claimed
a lien on the lease, not for the 10001. merely, but
for' the 11001.

Mr. CULLEN appeared as Counsel both for
the assigness and for the creditor claiming the
lien for GOO/.

The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the matter to
stand over till he should bear what could be said
in behalf of each of those parties, standing • Er,
they' did, in situations so adverse from the iate'
rests of each other. As to the original advance
made by Mr. Whitbread, his Lordship had no
doubt that. regardedthe lease Was to be as a lien
for this sum. The other creditor's debt for 6001.
he could not regard as standing in a similar 3itna-
tion, there being no ,writing to piove that the
fact was .so it and even as to the advance of 1001.
made by Mr. Whitbread, at a subsequent period,
he was not satisfied that the lien covered it.—
These were his Lordship's present, imprEssic.n3,
but he should hear the matter further When all
were ready.

The 82d foot arrived at Chatham last- week,
from the East Indies, after an absence cf sixteen:
years. It is a mere skeleton regiment, 600 of
the men having volunteered to remain in the FAA
Indies.

LATE ACCIDENT in Russell-stmt.—On &Aut..-
day afternoon an Inquest was held before 24:.
GELL,Coroner for Westminster, at the Bunch cf
Grapes, in Bow-street, on the bodies of 3°14
Shepherd and --Fitz Crisp, the workmen whO
lost :their lives by the falling of two houses it
Russell-street, Covent-Qarden. Henry Triggs,
.a bricklayer, was the first witness examined ; he.
was at work in the parlour of one of the houses
that fell, heard a crash, bad just time to call out
to his companions " the party-wall'swas coming
down," and. when be reached the front door,
was struck down by the falling bricks and tiles ;
he recovered in a few minutes, the houses fell,
and eight men werAinried in the ruins : by eight
o'clock six were got ont a little bruised, four others
were taken to the Middlesex Hospital, and the two
unfortunate men, the subjects of the present In-
quest, remained buried, and were tnkcn out dead
on Friday evening. There was much questioning
as to the real cause of the aecid,.nt. The new re-
pairs were stated to have been kvell executed by
Mr. Braham, but that the fall of the buildings was
owing*to the failure of an old party-wall.—After
a recapitulation of the evidence by the Coroner,
the:Jury returned a verdict—" That John Shep-
herd, and Fitz Crisp; met their deaths by
the falling of two houses, -occasioned by the de-
fectiveness of an old party-wall."
Farther Particulars.--Twelve then were employ-
'ed on the premises, when the accident happened,
namely; four bricklayers, four carpenters, and
four labourers. The warning was so short, that
four who were at work on the ground floor had
only time to escape. Eight, of course, remained
Under the beams and brick-work. 'By the humane
and kit-id exertions of the workmen employed in
Drury-lane Theatre, six were soon extricated
Four were immediately conveyed to the Middle-
sex flospital—two of them, not much hurt, re-
turned to their homes, 'after having been dressed
by the Surgeons of thelnstitution. ' Two others
Were bruised; hut without broken bones. The
deceased being at work in the attic story, were
precipitated with the falling ruins, buried in the
middle of the same, and crushed in a shocking man-
ner; Some delay occurred in the search for them,
occasioned by the alarming state of the adjoining
'premises. The party-wall of the east house, and
the hack front: being in a dangerous sure, the
workmen were backward in exerting theniselves,
before the impending danger was m some met-
sUre Prevented. After boads and shores had been
put against the house; they proceeded with alI
possible diligence to remove the rubbish, until
they came to the objects of their search. It will
appear from the above statement, that two per-
sons only have fallen Victims to the dreadful acci-
dent, and not more, as ar first reported.; and that
four were taken to. the Hospital. The account
given of a woman carrying her basket being
killed, appears to be unfounded.
