MARLBOROUGH-sTrtErr.—A few days ago two
respectable young women applied to the Mlgistrate under the
following circumstances :—Their father was formerly in afiluen t
circumstances, but became embarrassed and separated from his
family; he was reduced to the necessity of seeking refuge in Lam-
beth workhouse, where he died. As soon as the daughters heard
of this they hastened to pay the last tribute of respect to their
Parent, and gave orders respecting his burial ; hut on going to
th workhouse the night before the funeral was to take place they
were shocked to find the body of their father missing, and no
person able to give the least account of it. They traversed the
streets all night, in hopes afhc.aringsorne intelligence that ought
assist them in their search for their father's body, until at length
they heard of two men, with a horse and cart, having been seen
at the door of Me. Carpue, the celebrated Anatomist, Dee.n-
street, Soho. Under these circumstances Mr. COKANT ths-
patched Clements, en active officer of this establishment, to
Mr. Carpue's with the females, but they were refused admission;
however, a threat from Clements procured his admittance, but
delicacy prevented the females from being allowed to proceed
into the Anatomical Theatre ; they however described a large
scar on their parent's ear by which Clements might identify him,
and on proceeding up into the theatre he fPund the body with

no sooner saw the body than she fell into violent hysterics, but
was recovered. Having obtained Mr. Carpoe's promise that the
body should not be removed, Clements proceeded back to the
Magistrate, who wrote a letter to Mr. Catpue, requesting the
body might he restored, which Mr. C. very readily complied
with, and at night it was conveyed away by the deceased's friends.
Mr.Carpue had riven eight guineas for the body !

We are authorized to state, that the report,
again revived in a letter from Madrid, of Messrs. oLLET-r,
liaoTrigas, sand Co. having offered to furnish 12,000 Irish
troops for the service of Spain, is utterly destitute of found°.

VALVE OF haTICE.—An attorney in France
having hought a charge of bailiff for his son, ad-
vised hint never to work in vain, hut to raise
contritations nu those who wanted his assistance.
" What, father !" said the son in surprise,
" would you have me sell jnstice i "—" Why
not ?" answered the father; " is so scarce an
article to be given for nothing ?"

Suictot.s.—John Hill, a livery stable-keeper,
of Oxford-street, put an end to his existence on
Monday. I t appeared that he had first cut his
throat, but finding that not effectual, he strangled
himself with a rope. Temporary derangement
was proved, and the Coroner's-Inquest returned
a' verdict accordingly:—Monday night a female
threw herself off the north end or Waterloo
Bridge. A waterman, who was on the river at
the time, picked up a Leghorn bonnet, but the
body of the unfortunate woman has not yet been
found.—And yesterday morning a genteel-look-
itig man, apparently in great distress of
mind, . had got over the hallustradea of the
Bridge, and was about to throw himself off, but
was prevented by some gentlemen who were
passing, at the time. It appears that the
.same
individual had before made a similar attempt.
