WAthßithii, 6‘..;;-,-'ester3ay itiiornint; at an
early hour, as ti young boy was passing along the
edge of the river; 'about a quartet of a mile troth
this city; adjoining the road to Carrick-on-Suir,
discovered a dead body lying -on he mud. SoMe-
what alarmed, and without waiting to make s.v
examination, he ran and communicated the etc-
cuinstance to
,the inhabitants of- a house,. at nn
great distance from. the pl ice. They immediately
returned with him, and found a female corpse,
Mangled in such a manntr as it would be horrible
even to describe. On farther inquiry, the strong6i.
proofs appeared, that the ill-faced being had been
murdered at the termination of the wall leading to
ti,e City, that the inhuman author of her death had
thrown the body over the wail, that he then drsgged
it as far into the river as seethed to be consistent
with his own s3fety, and that he there left it, in 114
hope of its bin cat tied away t y the stre.im.
blond, in considerible qlantities, ‘i'as visible on the
wall,-on the adjoining. gate, and in some phice4
betwixt them and the :liver, whilst the mark of
foot-steps, and the impression of the body, were
easily discernable through the whole space from
the road to the spot where it was abandoned.--;.
A stone of several pounds weight, and nearly
covered with blood, was found beside 'the 13,:dki
with which it was evident some of the wounds ort
the head had been inflicted. There were also othtr
wounds on the head that bore the appearance of
Ifaving_been given by a sharp instrument. Multi-
tudes yesterday visited the body, but it has no t
yet been recognized by any person. The dress
indicated the wearer to have been in an humble
station of life, but it does not resemble that of
the peasantry in 'this part' of Ireland, and there is
reason to believe that its proprietor was a stranger.

M. Kirchoff has attracted great notice at St: Pe-
tersburgh, by an invention for extracting • sugar
from the flour of different sort of grain mixed with
potatoes.
M. Amice, an astronomer of Milan,. has con-
structed a telescope seventeen feet •in length, iv :4
eleven inches ,in diameter. It is the largest ever
made in Italy, and is said to equal the best -English
glasses for observing the heave* bodies. —OA
trial, it was proved that the'smallest wri~ing.ti~ig t,
by-means of it, be read at the diStance of three
hundred yards, and every
.st!,,p and line stroke
plainly discerned. -
The magnificent church of Montreale, near RI.
lermo, was burnt to- the ground on the t tth ul-
timo. It was an antique structure,. and 6utainti
many curious monuments of ancient K!ngs. The
entrails. of St. Louis, who died .before Tunis, .and
whose body was conveyed ''to France, were de_pq-
sited in it.

On Friday morning last, a bullock separated 2il
a drove of beasts, coming from Smithfield IN/Lirter,
and ran furiously along London, Wall, knocking
down:every thing that was in his -way. He tnaje
into the yard of the White Bear inn, Basini,hall-
street, putting every person in the yaro to Ilia:
Bight ; and, then walked up the stairs into the gal-
lery, where not being able to turn himself, he was
secured by the drovers, who, with difficulty, lower,
ed the animal out of the gallery, with ropes slung
round him.

The neighbourhood, of St. George's Church in
the Borough, was thrown into ‘a state of consider-
able alarm, a few evenings 'since, by the following
circumstance :—As the landlord of the FoX
public-
house, in White-street, .at the back of the chinch,,
was going his usual round with beer, about ninc,
o'clock in the evening, he perceived by the light
proceeding from a lantern earried by a woman acci-
dentally passing, something standing in a recess its
the- wall near his door, which particularly attracted.
his attention, and on a closer examination he found
it to be one of those-instruments called mauls, ren-
dered so teiritic by the dreadful use ma le of one of
them in the nerpetrat on of the late ho .rid murders
in Ratcliff Highway ; and on. turning round he .per-
ceived a similar instrument standing ir. the other
corner of the recess. Informatinn was immediately
given to Goff, the officer belonging to Union. Had
who proceeded to the spot, and continued on the
watch all night, but the alarm had been so widdy
spread, that those-who deposited them there, what!.
ever might have been their original intentions,
thought it prudent not to appear.
•On Friday night, between ten and eleven o'clock,
as Mr. Charles Fidler, of Ewell, Surrey, was re-
turning home, he was stopped on the‘DorkinF roa 1,
-
beiWeen Epsom and Ashsted, and robbed of hirk-
ing And other Bank notes, to urea nount ot- 2 1 01.
by two men.
