CORONER'S
.INQUEST,--This day an inquest
was held at the Duke:of Sussex public-house in Gibson-
street, Oakley-street, Lambeth, on the body of Ann
Imm, aged 41. The deceased lived at N0..7, Gloucester-
street, New-cut, Lambeth, and on Tuesday
mofning a
noise was heard in the room she occupied as of some
person shuffling, their feet in a struggle, and the room
door being found locked on the inside, it was forced
open, and the deceased was found suspended by the neck
by a piece of tape tied to a nail in the bedpost, her feet
bent under her, and her knees nearly touching the
ground, and quite dead. It also:appeared that the de-
ceased had pawned some articles that had been intrusted
to her to wash, and being unable to redeem them, she
was induced by the fear of being prosecuted, combined
with an excited state of mind brought on by her being
addicted to occasional intoxication, to destroy herself.
Verdict, Temporary mental derangement.
CAUTION.---A man dressed in a frock coat, of
dark complexion, with brown whiskers, and about 32
years of age, called at Mr. Broad's oil warehouse in Ta-
vistock-street, Covent Garden, on Wednesday evening,
and gave :an extensive order for Viscount Villiers, in
whose service he stated he resided as butler. He returned
shortly after, stating, he had made a purchase in Covent-
garden market, and had not quite sufficient to pay for
the articles, and borrowed a sovereign until the goods
were sent on the following morning. Mr. Broad, after
the man had left, suspected he had been duped, and upon
inquiry ascertained it was a gross imposition, no such
person living in the Viscount's establishment.
half-past This morning, about
melancholy accident
occurred on the river near Greenwich :—lt appears that

c.A.,clCoCc&DEthNeTfo....-.llowing
Mr. John M'Clelland, boatwright, who resides in
Church-street, Shadwell, was proceeding by water this
morning to Greenwich, accompanied by two fellow-
workmen, of the names of Walter Bishop and William
Charles Worthington. They had arrived about half a
mile this side of the Royal Hostital, when, by some ac-
cident, they ran the boat with .great violence against a
coal barge, which was coming down the river in a contrary
direction, the concussion was so great as to cause the
boat to capsize, and all three were precipitated into the
water. M'Clelland, being an expert swimmer, swam to
the edge of the barge, and was taken in ; but the other
two unfortunately perished. The bodies have not been
found.

STATE OF TRADE.—In Haslingden, Burnley,
Colne, and the neighbourhood, the woollen and printing
trades are very bad ; prices not only being low, but em-
ployment scarce. The masters, in some instances, are
even going the length of making considerable reductions
in the wages of their managers. Thin calicoes, 28 yards
long, for printing, for the Persian trade, principally, are
now woven at 61d. per cut, by the hand-loom weavers,
who size their own warps also ; and numbers, although
eager to do so, are unable to get work at this rate, which
is greatly embarrassing the power-loom trade, as that
branch cannot, with any profit, manufacture them at tho
same price, because the manufacturers who employed hand-
loom weavers have little capital at stake, and are at no ex-
pense either for steam power or machinery. Last week
but one, a manufacturer at Preston paid the wages of
200 weavers with 9/. A gentleman from this neighbour-
hood was passing through Edenfield on Saturday last,
and saw a female prostrate on the earth. She was re-
moved into a house, and, on recovering, was found to be
a respectable female thrown out of employment by the
stoppage of a mill, and at length had turned out to beg,
being amost hungered to death. The day was wet and
windy ; and, being almost exhausted to commence with,
she had fallen down, being at length overpowered by
buffeting against the storm.
SUICIDE BY A FEMALE.—On Tuesday morn-
ing a female named Imms, living in Gloucester-street,
New-cut, Lambeth, committed suicide by strangling her-
self with a piece of tape, which, having twisted round her
neck, she made fast to a nail of not sufficient height from
the floor to suspend herself, and then, by bending herself
backwards, drew the ligature so tightly round her throat,
that she effected her purpose. The cause of her commit-
ting the dreadful act is attributed to a quarrel she had
had the previous evening with a man she cohabited with.
An inquest will be held on the body this day.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A GlRL.—Be-
tween five and six o'clock on Tuesday evening, Mary
Broomhead, between thirteen and fourteen years of age,
the daughter of respectable parents living at No. 8,
Brewer's-green, Westminster, was brought into West-
minster Hospital, suffering under the effects of having
swallowed a portion of sugar of lead. She stated that
she had taken it with the intention of committing sui-
cide, as she was tired of living at home, and -wished to
go out in the world, which her parents objected to. Tho
usual antidotes were applied, and she is expected torecover .
