MISCEZZAT.JECEITS.

On Monday an inquest was held at the Brown Jug
Inn, between Ramsgate and Broadstairs, on the body of
E. Williams, found dead cn the strand, his head deeply
emlmlded in the sand under one of the steep cliffs. It
appeared that the deceased in wandering from Broad-
stairs towards Ramsgate, late at night, had fallen over
the cliff, which is about forty feet high, and fractured
the vertebrze of his neck.

The bad accommodation of the City Law Courts for
the Judges, barristers, &c., has been reported upon by
the Committee appointed some time since for the inves-
tigation. A new Court will now be built between the
present Court of Queen's Bench and the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, and these two old ones re-constructed under
a new system of ventilation.

At the Bank of England meeting, called on Thursday by
the Directors and Proprietors for considering a dividend,
the question of 3i per cent. was put and finally carried,
and the dividend warrants thereon ordered to be payable
on the 11th of October.

After his ten days' confinement of the fastingphenorne-
non, Bernard Cavanagh, without food, the seal of the room -
door was on Thursday broken in the presence of3o medical
and scientific gentlemen. Cavanagh came forward quite
hearty, though somewhat thinner. He declined answer-
inn questions, and refused either to be weighed or to
show his tongue; when asked how it was that he attained
such powers of abstinence, his reply was, " That it came
gradually upon him, and he little thought that the Lord
would have brought him to such a state."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS•
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

The slight depression observable in the Money
Market yesterday was relieved to-day (the failure of
the banking firm of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., at Bath,

day in the Discount Market commanded a full rate of in•
terest. For present delivery, Consols have realised 89i
to 8911,• and for the Account 908 to 4.• Exchequer Bills
have been done at a premium of 12s. to 145., and East •
India Bonds at 2s. to• 4s. premium. East India Stock •

Account. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are
again as high as 99, and the Reduced Three-and-a-Fluff
per Cents. were at 99+, special transfer.

The following is an extract of a letter from New
York, dated August 21, received at the North and South
American Coffee House :

IMPORTANT FROM THE DISPUTED TER-

BITORY.

The Woodstock (New Brunswick) Telegraph publishes
a. statement that the American Boundary Commissioners
now employed in that region, are making a new line east
of the old boundary, so as to inclose within the
American territory a number of extensive clearings made
by inhabitants of New Brunswick. The account is vague,
but it is presumable that the new line which the Com-
missioners are making is the north and south line
