SIPELAS, ATTENDED WITH SWELLING AND INFLAMMATION, CURED
BY HOLLOWAY%) PILLS AND OINTMENT.—Extract of a letter, dated
East Kcal, Spilsby, Lincolnshire, Oct. 8, 1845:—" I beg to announce
to you a most wonderful cure wrought upon myself by your pills
and ointment. I had a very severe attack of erysipelas in my right
foot and ancle, with swelling and inflammation to an alarming
extent; I was unable to move without the assistance of crutches.
I consulted an eminent physician to no purpose ; however, in less
than two weeks, by the use of your ointment and pills, I was cured,
to the surprise of all who knew me." (Signed) " Joseph Gildon,"

THE LATE MURDERS AT BATTERSEA-BRlDGE.—YeS-
terday, at 4 o'clock, Mr. Carter, the Coroner for East Surrey,' resumed
the inquiry into the circumstances attending the death of William
Matthew Clarke, aged seven years, one of the unfortunate children
thrown over Battersea-bridge, on Saturday, the 2d instant. The
body had been found in the work-gate hole of the Vauxhall and South
Lambeth Water-Works, abutting on the river, and about 200 yards
below the Red-house. It was taken to the above house, washed, and
afterwards identified by the father. On Saturday, Mr. Carter opened
an inquiry, which, after two hours' duration, he adjourned, for the
purpose of having a post mortem examination of the body. The wit-
nesses then examined, with bet one exception, had given their evi-
dence previously, both at the Adam and Eve, Chelsea, and at
the Westminster Police-court, and, therefore, any repetition
would be unnecessary. Yesterday a number of witnesses
were examined, but as their testimony was given in the
earlier part of the day, at the inquest held before Mr.
Wakley, upon the body of' Jane Clark, the Infant child, a re-
iteration would be useless. The only witness not examined, as before
stated, was Mr. Tatham, of Belmont-place, Wandsworth-road, sur-
geon. This witness stated, that having received an order from the
coroner to make a post mortem examination of the body of the de-
ceased, he proceeded to do so that morning. He first examined the
body externally, and could find ne mark of violence existing that
was likely to cause death. He then removed the scalp from the
head ; the skull was entire, and the brain and other parts were ias
per-
fectly healthy. He did not open any other portion of the body, L
was too far advanced in decomposition to have enabled him to arrive
at any satisfactory conclusion. The deceased had died from sub-
mersion. The coroner having examined all the witnesses, summed
up the evidence with minuteness and clearness, andeldeftwithteothtehre
they
considered say how the deceased had come by his death,
persona who had so
considered the woman, Eliza Clark,
caused that death. The room was then cleared elligredatofthsetrotrytgehrl and
after a lapse of ten minutes it was anneottnost
turned a verdict of " Wilful murder ag teedEliztha Clark."
