PORT OF LONDON IMPROVEMENTS.---During the
past month extensive preparations have been making for
building another steam-packet wharf at St. Katherine's,
next the Tower, on the site of the Old Irongate- Wharfs,
which, it may be remembered, were burnt down about
eighteen months since. The new wharf, when com-
pleted, will be upwards of 300 feet in length, and there
will be sufficient water alongside to enable steamers of
very large dimensions to land their cargoes and passen-
gers at all times of the tide. Capacious warehouses,
offices, and waiting-rooms are in progress of erection; to
extend along the whole lino of the quay.
THE LATH FIRE.—On Saturday an inquest was
held at the Anchor and Hope, Shadwell, on the bodies
of John Percy and James Young Handcock, two fire-
men, who lost their lives at the late fire. Several wit-
nesses were examined, and the jury returned a verdict
of " Accidental death," adding that there was no evi-
dence to show how the fire originated.
MURDER OF A CHlLD.—Aswrox, SATURDAT.—A
very shocking case of child murder has lately been per-
petrated in this town, and has created considerable sen-
sation. The unfortunate victim was the illegitimate male
child of Jane M'Lane, an abandoned creature, appa-
rently, who for some time past had been cohabiting with
a man of the name of Johnson, in some low lodging-
house in the vicinity of the town. The coroneetinquiry
closed last Friday night, and it appeared that The dead
body of the child, which was about nine months old, was
discovered in the soil of a closet attached to the Old Cross
Inn, and it seemed from the evidence that it had been
thrown there. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful
Murder" against the mother, and the magistrates sitting
in petty sessions also committed Johnson for trial, for
aiding and abetting in the crime.
EFFECTS OF FRIGHT IN PARIS.—It is well known
that a large number of children born after the first
French Revolution, in 1798, became insane; and it seems
probable that another illustration of visiting the sins of
the parents upon the children will follow the late dis-
turbances. Many cases of mental derangement have al-
ready occurred in the Faubourg du Temple and Menil-
montant, where the fighting, during the late insurrection,
was terrific. As early as the 27th of June, two women,
residing in the Corbeau, became deranged; and one who
inhabits the Rue Menilmontant, was on the 10th of July
conveyed to an asylum. These poor creatures are con-
stantly heard to utter cries of fear and dread, they call
for assistance and beg they may not be killed.
