THE CHANNEL ISLANDS.

(From the Jersey and Guernsey Advertiser.)
We think it our duty to caution persons travelling for plea-
sure, and those about to settle in the Channel Islands, not to
go to Guernsey, as a very obnoxious law, containing the fol-
lowing four clauses, was passed by the Royal Court on the
16th of August, by which all Englishmen, without exception,
immediately on their landing, are to be placed under the sur-
veillance of the police ! Such persons are recommended to
proceed to Jersey, where house-rent and the necessaries of
life are much cheaper, and where no such detestable law
exists
I. Every person occupying a house, or part of a house,
shall be held within eight days, from the Ist of September
and the Ist of March in each year, to furnish the constables of
the parish in which such persons reside with a correct list of
all persons, not natives of this island, who inhabit the said
house or part of a house, under pain of a fine, at the diseretio*
of the Court, which shall not exceed 50 livres tournois.
" 2. Every change taking place in the list after it has been
made and delivered must be reported, under the same penalty,
to the said constables, within thrice 24 hours after the change
shall have taken place—that is to say, if a person not a native
quits the house, or if another not a native takes his abode there,
the occupier must make his report as above.
3. The constables of each parish shall keep a book in
which they shall make an entry of every house in which a per-
son not a native may be residing, in which book all the
changes taking place, and reported to the said constables,
shall likewise be inserted, together with the dates of the said
reports. _

4. All masters of vessels, barks, or boats arriving at this
island, shall, on their arrival, or at latest within 24 hours after-
wards, deliver, to the constables of the town, or leave at their
office, a correct list of the passengers they have landed, and
this under the penalty aforesaid."

BOAT SAFETY._A very ingenious, compact, and
simple apparatus, has been invented by Lieutenant Beadon,
R.N., of this neighbourhood, to prevent the upsetting of sail-
ing boats. From the neglect to let go the sheet in time, in
squally weather, it is well known that the most fatal results
are continually occurring. Lieutenant Beadon's apparatus, by
a self-adjusting movement, ensures the right position of the
boat, so that its safety is independent of any other attention or
manual operation.—Bristol Mercury.
MYSTERIOUS ,DEATH IN DRURY-LANE—An
inquest was held yesterday morning at the Sugar-loaf pub-
lic-house, 'King-street, Drury-lane, before Thomas Stirling,
Esq., Coroner, on the body of Mary Anne Webber, who was
found dead in her room on Saturday-evening under very ex-
traordinary circumstances. The occurrence created a great
sensation in the neighbourhood, on account of the supposition
that the deceased had been murdered, and the jury-room was
crowded during the investigation. Mr. John Bowles stated
that the deceased had resided in his house for six years. She
was respectably connected. On Friday evening witness was
surprised to see the shutters of her room open, and the next
morning another lodger informed witness that she thought
something was wrong, and that the dsceased was lying on the
floor. Witness looked into the room, and was satisfied that
the deceased was so lying. They then got assistance and
opened the window, and saw the woman upon the floor, and
the dog was beginning to gnaw the deceased's body. Her
clothes had been torn off by the dog. Witness ultimately pro-
cured a pistol, and shot the dog. Deceased was in the habit
of drinking. She was a woman of singular habits. She used
to be in bed all day, and at night would get up and prowl
about with her dog in the outskirts of the town. Deceased
had 401. a year left her, which she received regularly. Sarah
Barnet said the last time she saw the deceased was on Wed-
nesday. She had never heard of her having received any ill-
treatment. The Jury, after viewing the body, returned a ver-
, diet that the deceased died a natural death.
