THE TEA TRADE.

Yesterday a deputation, consisting of some of the most
influential persons in the tea trade, headed by Mr. Craw-
ford, M.P., and Mr. Travers, bad an interview with Mr.
S. Rice, on the subject of the proposed scale of duties to he
levied on teas, when the monopoly of the East India Com-
pany shall have ceased to exist.

- The deputation urged upon the Ministers the necessity
of some alteration in the mode of collecting the tea duties
under the new system, and pointed out ways in which
frauds would, i❑ all probability, be practised upon the re-
venue and the public, if the scale of duties as at present
proposed was adhered to.

Mr. S. Rice, after hearing the statements made by the
deputation, intimated that an error had been made as to
the rate of duty proposed to be levied. The rates pro•
posed to be collected were for babes, Is. Gd. per Ib; for
congous and other teas in this class, 2s. t;d. ; and for
bysons, 3s. per lb. With respect to the statements made
by the deputation of the opportunities that would be given
for fraud, Nu. S. Rice replied that the Bill was too far
advanced to make any change this year, but that in the
next Session of Parliament attention should be given to
the subject, and various alterations made, in order to re-
move valid objections that might be raised to the measure.
The deputation then withdrew.
The tea trade is in a most active state, and considerable
business is doing at an advance on Boheas on the prices
obtained at the Company's last sale of 8d per lb., and in
low Congous at a rise of 2d per lb. The approaching
quarterly sale by the East India Company, is looked for
with interest, being now so near at hand, viz, the 2d of
September. The quantity declared for sale isB,4oo,ooolbe.

as compared with the Company's declaration in June, the
next sale will consist of 100,000Ibs of tea more than were
last offered.

The Bank Charter Bill, it will he found by our
Parliamentary Report, was read a second time yes-
terday in the House of Lords, and the principle of it
will be debated this afternoon, either in Committee,
or on the question for going into Committee. On
that measure there is, we apprehend, but orie opi-
nion among most dispassionate persons, whichis,
that the Bank of England has been treated with
much favour, which might more justly have been
bestowed upon the public, and that the bargain is
altogether one of the least creditable to a Finance
Minister that ever was submitted to the approbation
of the country or of Parliament. There was no
reason, so far as we can perceive, for tampering with
the currency at all in this transaction. The circu-
lation was in a sound and healthy state; every
man who wanted money for legitimate purposes,
and could show anything like security, might have
it at moderate interest. At the same time the im-
pediments to a fictitious currency existing in the
free convertibility of a bank note into gold were
salutary checks upon indiscreet speculation, upon
desperate adventure, and unfounded credit. By
the clause for making Bank of England notes a legal
tender, and limiting their convertibility to the single
spot of Threadneedle-street, there appears the pro-
bability, in the first place, of an insufficient supply
of gold; and, in the next place, of a clamour for 1/.
notes, to supply, as before, the want of it. There
is still hope that the House of Lords will throw out
this obnoxious, because alarming, and eventually
pernicious, clause; and, indeed, if the Bill could
be thrown over until next session, we suspect that
the country would be no small gainer.—Tintes.
Not a little astonishment seems to have been felt
in the House of Commons last night, when, in the
Committee on Mr. Blamire's Bill, Mr. D. W. Har-
vey appeared in the new cha,acter of Champion of
the Church. The lion. Gentleman thought suitors
could be exposed to no great hardship, as no Jury
would find a verdict without a ease were well este-
blished, and few actions could be tried before the
passing of the new Tithe Bill. He lamented, too,
in good set terms, the tendency which Mr. Bla-
mire's Bill must have to add to the existing dispo-
sition to look on a property in tithes as less sacred
than other property. No wonder that Sir John
Campbell should " congratulate the Church and
the Clergy on their new defender, and hope that
the recent friendship of the Hon. Members for Ox-
ford University and Colchester might prove last-
ing."—(A laugh.) How is it that Mr. Harvey has
such a sympathy with this particular class of suits
However, the Solicitor-General said, " that it was
true tithes were property, but they were to be dealt
with as other property. Land could not be recovered
after twenty years' quiet possession, and it was only
proposed that a custom of paying tithes in a particular
manner should not he disturbed after it had existed
for 60 years." In fact the right of which it is pro-
posed to deprive the church is not a proper incident
of property. The proposed law is in the interest of
property in general, which ought not to be d sturbed
by a species of gambling actions. The claim that
has not been mooted for 60 years, has not, of
course, been taken into consideration in any
transactions on either side during that period,
and has not entered into any estimate of the value.
It seems, however, according to the Solicitor-Ge-
neral, that a modus, which had existed for hundreds
of years, had been set aside within the last two
years. It would appear, from what fell front Mr.
Blamire, that the statement of the number of suits
originally made, so far from being exaggerated, is
below the truth. Thirteen counties are known to
be disturbed by the suits, and the number is now
estimated at 9,000.-Il4orning Chronicle.
In moving the third reading of the Chancery
Offices Bill, the Solicitor-General made some state.

merits which, from an unwillingness to interrupt
important public business, had been withheld on
the fornLr stages. Our readers will, from this
statement, be able to appreciate the disinterested
conduct of the Lord Chancellor in this matter.
Not only will the saving in money be great by the
measure, but it will be of perhaps still greater
benefit in promoting expedition. All the profes-
sional gentlemen in the House were loud in their
praises of the measure. Mr. D. W. Harvey "con-
gratulated the House the more, on the great and
substantial improvements which had been effected,
inasmuch as it was impossible for th em to conceive
the great difficulties with which those who had
done so much had been surrounded. Al-
though he highly appreciated the measure in
a financial point of view, he trusted that i; was only
subordinate to greater improvements that were still
to take place, and was to be looked noon only as an
earnest on the part of that distinguished individual,
who held the highest office in the law, of his sub-
stantial, sincere, and honest desire to make this
Court one which he proved in reality and not in
name a Court of Equity." The Solicitor-General,
while he admitted that the present Masters in
Chancery were able men, in noticing the improve-
..

ment which would be the result of transferri;ig the
appointment from the Lord Chancellor to the
King, observed that the whole Ministry would now
be responsible for the appointment, whereas, it had
been hitherto considered by the Chancellor as pri-
.

vase and personal. We suspect the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman had in his eye a particular ap-
pointment of Lord Eldon, who showed his grati-
tude to a half-pay officer, who had assisted him
when his carriage was overturned, by making him
a Master in Chancery. A Cabinet would hardly,
even in Tory times, have ventured on any thing like
this.— Morning Chronicle.

The important news which we, exclusively, gave
to the public of a treaty, offensive and defensive,
having been actually concluded between Russia and
the Porte, without any previous communication
with the representatives of the other powers, is
confirmed by the Allgemeine Zcitung of the 16th
instant. That Journal contains intelligence from
the Turkish capital of the 25th of July, which not
only puts beyond doubt the fact of the treaty having
been concluded, but substantially corroborates the
abstract of so much of its contents as had trans-

pired, which we published on the authority of our
Correspondent at Constantinople. The German
organ of the " Holy Alliance" says that Russia
engages to afford every assistance asked for by
the
Porte, and that the latter undertakes, in the
event of Russia being at war with any Power

NATURAL CURIOSITY.—Upon Westwood
farm, near Stirling, there is a remarkable oak, upon the
side of a broad ditch. The trunk, it is conjectured, had
either bent spontaneously, or been bent across the ditch,
forming a bridge about 10 or 12 feet span, which now
affords a secure footing nearly three feet wide. Having
rested an elbow on the opposite side of the ditch, the oak
again re-crosses to his legitimate territory, and then grows
upwards and spreads his foliage crown after the fashion of
hi.' neighbour potentates. The tree is certainly a great
curiosity, and worthy the attention of naturalists passing
in that direction.—Scotsman.

Another prospectus for a joint-stock bank of
deposit, to be called the Imperial Bank of London, has
been circulated this afternoon. Its capital is also fixed
at 10,000,000/. With respect to the London and West-
minster 'link, mentioned yesterday, we are assured, what
we were not aware of at the time, that several of the
members of the committee whose names appear to the
prospectus are distingnshed by their knowledge of business.
In point of property, as we have already remarked, the
list is a highly respectable one. It is not to be expected,
however, under ail the circumstances, that large profits
will for some years to come be derived from any such un-
dertakings.— Times.

A GLORIOUS NIBBLE.—A gentleman from
a fishing excursion in the Highlands had occasion, on his
return last week, to pass through a crowd collected at the
fair. While in the midst of it he felt some nibbling be-
hind, fully as hard as any he had felt on the banks of
Loch Eck, and on looking about he saw a young thief who
had just got possession of his bandana caught by the fin.
gers with some spare fishing-hooks that had been stowed
away in the same pocket. The gentleman, after unhooking
the young rogue, pinched his ears soundly, applied a cane,
and sent him off smarting to brood over his luckless ven-
ture.—Paisley Advertiser.
WESTM IN ISTER NEW HOSPITAL.—The
exterior of this building is already completed, with the
exception of some few ornamental details. It is situate
to the north-west of the abbey, arid occupies part of the
site of the ancient Sanctuary Church, traces of which, and
also of the Sanctuary wall, were discernible in digging
the foundations. These remains of ancient architecture
were of brick, and of great solidity. The freehold of the
ground was purchased for its present benevolent object of
the Crown for 6,0001. Ihe building is of white brick,
and is in the Tudor style of architecture. The principal
front faces the residence of the Dean. It is four stories
high in the centre, and has an embattled porch, with three
front and two side entrance arches. Above is a handsome
oriel window extending to two stories. There is a similar
window in an angle at each extremity of the front. These
windows and the porch are of freestone, and richly orna.
mented. The windows are 40 feet in height, and the
whole extent of the frontage is 200 feet. The building
forms nearly a square, and is surmounted with an em-
battled coping, with chimneys to correspond. The stone
work in front is enriched with bosses of the Westminster
arms (the portcullis) and other embellishments. The
Hospital will contain nineteen wards, each 42 feet long
by 23 feet wide. It is calculated they will hold nearly
250 beds. In the central area of the building a circular
theatre is being erected for lectures and operations. The
roof of the building is flat and covered with lead, and will
be appropriated as a walk for those patients who are ap-
proaching to convalescence. Its extent is nearly half an
acre, and from the height to which the embattled parapet
is raised, is rendered perfectly secure.

IMPRESSMENT—PeopIe in inland towns
know comparatively nothing of the terrible effects of this
degrading system. A man that happens to ha at all con-
nected with the sea, or who follows any occupation on the
water, is not secure for a single day : the hellish press-
gang, who are always armed, more like an FaHan ban-
ditti, than "the free-born guardians of the sca.girt isle,"
will enter his fishing-boat, his cabin, or his mansion, at
any hour of the day or night, drag him away to the tender
where he is kept until they have got a sufficient number ;
they are then sent on board a man of war, and locked
under hatches until they put out to sea. All communica-
cation with their wives and families is denied them ; awl
it is frequently the case, that their relatives remain fur
years in utter ignorance of their fate. We do not state
this on mere rumour, as several instances have come under
our own observation. During the last war, an only son
of respectable parents, but devotedly attached to the sea,
was pressed from a merchant vessel on the West India
station ; and after several years cruising in that quarter,
the ship returned to Portsmouth. During this absence
from home he had lost his father ; he was therefore de-
sirous of visiting his aged mother and an only sister.
He asked leave of absence; but being an able and
steady seaman, was refused. A few days after-
wards he left the ship, and travelled over land
from Portsmouth to Edinbugh, where he was received
with open arms by his forlorn relatives ; but twenty-four
hours bad scarcely elapsed before he was again dragged by
the miscreant press-gang on board a tender in Leith Roads,
and has never been heard of since! The consequence was,
his mother never again held up her head : in a few months
!inhst,new as carried to the grave ! We may mention another
Westce, somewhat different, but equally cruel : the son
of a
India inere'aarit in Leith, who had been to In-
verness-shire for the benefit of his health, was returning
home in a small
coaster, when, in the Firth of Forth, they

The injunction was granted upon the application of the
the plaintiffs, who are a company (though not incorpo-
rated) of individu As, styled the Equitable Gas Light
Company, to restrain the defendants from pulling
down a wall at the outlet of Kings Scholar's Pound
Sewer, near Vauxhall-bridge, that the same might be
rebuilt upon the pound, that if the wall was pulled down,
and the foundation of the new wall carried so low as was
proposed by the plans, a stratum of quicksand would he
penetrated, and the consequence would be, that the Retort
House of the plaintiff's, (of an immense weig'it) and
other buildings would in all probability be brought to, the
ground. The iujunctien also went to restrain the de-
fendants from doing any thing to the mouth of the sewer,
calculated to prevent the plaintiff's coal barges from
entering and lying on the spot heretofore appropriated for
them. Upon the present occasion it was contended
on behalf of the defendants, that the state of the
sewer (which is of a very extensive description, one
branch of which comes all the way from Hampstead),
required the repairs and alteration which were now pro.
jected, and which had been going on for nearly twelve
months. No less than 8,0001. of expense had already
been incurred in the works. It was stated by the defen-
dant's engineers (men of the greatest experience), that
if the projected banks were carried on and completed in
an ordinary careful manner, no injury would be sustained
to the plaintiff's premises. The Learned Counsel con-
tended that the Commissioners being public servants, and
carrying on this necessary work for the benefit of the
public, were in the discharge of their duty, even if the
plaintiff's premises should be brought to the ground, by
it bound to go on, and that there being no wantonness,
malignity, or fraud in the conduct of the defendants.
the Court ought not to interfere. Besides, the plaintiff
had bad notice of the works, as was clear by the statement
in their own bill since September last, and as they bad
only come to the Court at its very rising fur the injunc-
tion, it was to be hoped the injunction would now he dis-
solved with costs. The plaintiff's Counsel admitted the
notice which it was alleged they had had, but argued that
that notice did not convey to them a knowledge of the
extent to which the works were to be carried, nor were
they aware, until within a very short time since, that the
effect of such operations would be the destruction of their
premises. They had no objections to the works of the
defendant's being carried on under the inspection of some
experienced engineer, who should have the power entrusted
to him of confining their extent so as to leave the Retort
House, &c. in a state of safety. Surely the Court never
would permit the defendants to carry on proceedings that
would endanger not only the security of most expensive
premises, but in all probability a vast number of lives.
His HONOUR stated that, besides having heard counsel,
on both sides, he had read the bill and affidavits which bad
been sent to him, and that he was now clearly of opinion
that if the application had been made to him in the first
instance for, the injunction, he would have refused it. It
was clear that the plaintiffs had had notice of the works
now complained of going on for a long time previous to
their application to the Court, although the only date
which in their affidavit they bad affixed to the period of
acquiring that inlormation, was " lately." That word
was of so vague an import, that no judicial attention could
be paid to it in a case of this sort. It was evident that
the defendants had important duties to discharge for the
advantage and safety of the public health, and tbat in the
prosecution of those duties, they ought not to be lightly
interfered with. Upon the whole, his Honour felt bound
to dissolve the injunction, with costs.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, AUG. 22.

BANKRUPTCY OF MESSRS. ALEXANDER AND CO., OF

CALCUTTA.

A meeting for the further proof of debts on this estate
was held to-day, before Mr. Commissioner PANE. No-
thing of importance transpired in addition to the circum-
stances, of this extensive failure, fully reported in the
Tames of the 3d inst. 40,0001. was the amount proved
for this day, making the total sum now proved in this
Court to amount to about half a million sterling.
Mr. Waiter Hughes, the solicitor under the fiat, ad-
dressing the Learned Commissioner, observed that he
supposed it would be necessary to send over to India a
certified list of the debts proved, but he was at a loss to
know whether the parties wished to receive their divi-
dends here or in India : the Act 9 Geo. IV., chap. 73,
renders it imperative on those creditors residing within
the limits of the company's chatter to prove only in Indi t,
but those living without the limits of the company's
charter might take their election, and prove in Calcutta
or here, or in bath places if they thought proper, but he
apprehended that they were only entitled to receive a di-
vidend as if but one proof had been made.
Mr. Commissioner FANE—Are there any persons who
have sent out powers of attorney to prove in India, and
then come for the same purpose here ?
Mr. Hughes—Yes, several have done so. _ _

Mr. Whitmore, the official assignee, thought it right to
remark, that there seemed to be a general misund.:rstand-
ing en the subject, some persons imagining that if they
prove in India, they have only a claim on the property
situate there, and, vice versa, if they prove here, they can
only claim on assets arising from property situate in Eng.
land. But he understood that the property of the estate,
no matter where it lay, was equally available for the be-
nefit of the creditors at large, without any reference as to
where they proved their debts; the assignees in Cal, utta
and in Europe must account together, and a cividend
rateably made, after the accounts on both sides are fully
and satisfactorily compared and investigated, boas to em-
body all into one single and general account. However,
to facilitate as much as possible the business of t'ie estate,

it was his intention to address a circul,r to the creditors,
who have already proved in this Court, stating that it was
necessary they should elect whether they would receive
their dividends through the Court here or in Calcutta.
Mr. Hughes observed, that there were several other
important questions yet undecided—fur instance, as to
computation of interest on the accounts proved. Was
the interest to be calculated from the time of the declara-
tion of the insolvency of the house in Calcutta, or from
the issuing of the fiat in this country?
Mr. Whitmore thought that question would be easily
disposal of when the balance sheet was completed to the
day of stoppage at Calcutta.

REFUSAL TO PAY A FIRE ENGlNEER.—Yesterday the
Churchwardens of the parish in which the Mansion-house
stands appeared before the LORD MAYOR, to resist the
demand of the fire-engineer for the prompt appearance of
the parish engine at a house at the corner of Charlotte-
row, in the Poultry.
Robert Collins (engineer), between cne and two o'clock
on Sunday morning, got up in consequence of an alarm
of fire from the neighbourhood of the premises of the
British Colour Company. Upon going to the place be
found that a cellar had been just broken open, and one of
the men was pulling out a basket in which were some
combustibles on fire. Nu part of the holm was on fire,
but.the basket which contained the burning materials was
lying under the house and close to some casks, which
would, if the fire had not been. so soon detected, most
probably have taken fire.
Mr. Thomas, the vestry clerk, objected to the claim
upon the ground that the fire in the basket had nothing
to do with the fire in the house, and argued that the Act
of Parliament requited that the fire should be in the house
in order to entitle the engineer to the usual reward.
The LORD MAYOR said that whatever might have been
the immediate cause of the fire, the engineer had certainly
done his duty in promptly attending to extinguish it.
The engineer raid the materials in the basket were of
themselves capable of igniting without coming in contact
with fire in any way.
The parish was ordered to pay the reward.
PAROCHIAL R ATES. —Mr. Wilson, one of the inhabis
tants of Tower Ward, was summoned for refusing to pay
5/...101._ 6d. watch rate for warehouse and vaults.

Mr. Wilson felt justified in refusing, upon the ground
that the authotities o! the ward had promised him, when
he took the premises, which were very extensive, and
wanted great reptir, not to ask for the watch rate until
he should have completed them. Now they were not
completed, and he did not know when they would be
competed. Lie was, however, willing to be rated from
Michaelmas for the warehouse alone.

Alderman LUCAS said that the authorities had consented
not to rate Mr. Wilson until the premises should be in
ouch a condition as to be turned to account. Now the
fact was, that though not finished they were let off in
rooms to individuals, and large profit was derived from
them by the owner.

Mr. Smith (the wbarfinger, formerly a Common Coun-
cilman of the Ward) asked Mr. Wilson whether his
warehouse had not been occupied in any way in 1831 ?
Mr. Wilson—No; it was not, except by kick and
mortar.

Mr. Smith—HA you not 486 cases of guns put in at
one time? Mr. Wilson—Why, yes.
Mr. Smith—And had not you 186 Claes more put in
soon afterwards? Mr. Wilson—Perhaps there might.
The Loan MAYOR—And do you do these things for
nothing?—(.A laugh.) Mr. Wihon—l get a mere trifle.
Mr. Smith—He has, we positively know, let out part
of his premises in tenements at 4s. and 3s. 6d. each room,
and we only rate him at 2001. a year, while he turns his
preiiiiies to acc,unt to the tune of 800/.

The creditors, without hesitation, signed the certificate,
and the best understanding seems to exist between the
bankrupts and their numerous creditors.

MIDDLESEX ADJOURNED SESSIONS.

ATROCIOUSLY CRUM A SSAULT.-,-. T. W. Beville,
was indicted for assaulting, on the Sth February last,
Miss Mary Grose, a female of delicate ladylike appearance
and manners.

An affecting circumstance relative to the awful
visitation of the Almighty occurred on Tuesday morning
at Islington. As the corpse of the wife of a labouring
man lay in the coffin previous to interment, the afflicted
husband drew near to take a last farewell of the once-

loved partner of his joys and sorrows. At this awful
moment, when his eye was directed to the inanimate re—
mains of his departed wife, he suddenly dropped down,
and before medical assistance could be procured, expired.
He bad been united to his wife upwards of fifty years,
and what is strikinly remarkable in the annals of the
marriage state, daring so long a period, the noise of
dissension had never been heard betwee❑ them. There
are some who stubbornly maintain that the lowly and
ignorant are incapable of the nice touch of feeling inserir-
able to intelligent minds; the recital of the above must
alter this position.

THE INHUMAN INFANTICIDE AT RAT-
CLIFF-..-ADJOURNED INQUEST ON TUE Bonn.—Tue4day
night, at nine o'clock, Mr. BAKER, the Coroner, and the
Jury previously impanelled, reassembled at the Duke of
York public-house, Salmon's-lane, Limeholice, further to
prosecute their inquiry touching the death of a new-horn
male infant, whose body was picked up in that neighour-
hood on Wednesday night last with the throat cut, and
mutilated in the most shocking manner. The first witness
called was Mr. BELLINGHAM, a surgeon, residing in
Assembly-row, Mile-end, who read to the jury a minute
technical statement of the appearances of the body, which
he tliscovered on a post-mortem examination. The jugular
was completely divided, evidently by a sharp instrument.
There were also several other wounds on different parts of
the body, all inflicted by a knife or other sharp instru-
ment, and both arms were broken. It was his opinion
that the child was born alive, and that its death Was pro-
duced by the separation of the jugular. The deceased, he
should think, was three or four days old, and the injuries
he believed to have been inflicted before death, and bad
been done with the intention of depriving it of life. Mr.
CLELAND, another surgeon, corroborated the testimony of
the last witness. His decided opinion, he sal, was, that,
the deceased infant was born alive, and that its death had
been occasioned by violence, The wound in the throat
was an inch and a quarter in length, and an inch in depth,
and was sufficient to cause its death, particularly in so
young a child. Juror—What age do you suppose the
child was at the time it was destroyed ?—I should think
from three to four or five days. Other witnesses were
examined, but not a tittle of evidence was given to
implicate any person in the foul deed, and the Jury, at a
quarter to twlve o'clock, returned a verdict of " Wilful
Murder against some person or persons unknown."

Mr. Wilson was then called upon to pay the sum of
31. 195., the rate upon the warehouse alone, and having
refused was convicted. He then gave notice of appeal to
the Court of Aldermen.

The defendant has long bten known in this Court as an
attorney.

A TEMPERATE VILLAGE.—In the village
of Amesbury, Ma'sachusetts, containing a population of
2,000 souls, and which has two public taverns and 14
stores, there is not at this time a single gallon of ardent
spirits of any description whatever. The people are al
temp‘!rate. —New York Advertiser.

LORD ERSKlNE.—Describing the state of
mini of a luishand, who fun•ily attached to his wife,
suspects her fidelity, he painted the different workings of
his soul in the most aiLeting colours, and in the tno,t
pathetic language—the agonies of suspense—the feverish
irritation of unrelieved doubt—the struggles of the
the wounded spirit, as to a fact which, while the heart
wi,hed to disbelieve, his mind told hiin was hut too true.
The jury followed him with fixed attention, and the audi-
ence with deep solicitude for the verdict. He closed the
statement with Othello's words, from Shakspeare, which
so well applied to his case :
" But, oh ! what damned minutes tells he o'er
Who doubts, believes, suspects, but strongly loves !"

. . ,
This was pronounced with a considerable degree of pathos.
" But," continued the eloquent advocate, "when suspicion
is realized into certainty, and his dishonour is placed be-
yond the reach of doubt, despair assumes her dominion
over the afflicted man ; and well might he exclaim, from
the same page—

Had it pleased Heaven
To try me with affliction—had he raised
All kinds of sores and shames on my bare head,
Stccp'd me in poverty to the very lips—
Given to captivity me and my hopes—
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience. But now-----"

The prosecutrix, in an artless and simple manner, de-
tailed her sufferings. She was a dressmaker, and was
employed by many respectable families, and wholly de-
pendunt on her own exertions for a livelihood. In Feb.
last, she occupied an unfurnished apartment of the defend-
ant, at No. '7, Henry-street, Hampstead-road, where she
had with her a brother, wh o r, she had released from
Whitecross-street prison, an who was fast dying of
consumption. Her brother was entirely supported by her
exertions, and by the making away with what little pro-
perty and trinkets she possessed. The prisoner offered to
cure her brother for 1/. 55., and she accepted his services
and paid the stipulated sum ; but, finding afterwards his
prescriptions did harm instead of good, she called in the
aid of Dr. Thompson. The prisoner afther this rather
abruptly demanded the arrears of rent owing, although
the time stipulated for payment had not arrived, and
threatened if not paid to put in a distress. She procured the
money and tendered it, but he several times refused to re-
ceive it, under various pretences. He at last took it, and
told her either she must quit, or pay an advanced
rent. She appealed to his humanity, observing that
he knew how she was situated with a dying brother, and
that she could not afford to pay more; but the appeal was
lost upon hien, and she therefore gave him notice of her
intention to quit. At this time her brother was in such
a state that the physician said it would be unsafe to move

in the absence of her husband. Under these circumstances
the proaecutria, for greater security, removed the articles
to her new apartment. The same morning about three

o'clock, as a man named SMITH, in the employment of
Mr. WittGra, landlord of the King George IV., on
Brixton•hill, was going to work in a field near his mas-
ter's house, he observed what appcared a large parcel of silk
floating on the surface of a deep pond, situated in Cie field.
He immediately procured a rake from some brickmakers,
and with the rake drew the body of an &duly female on
shore. When the body was taken out of the water and
examined, there appeared a cut on the left temple, and the
face was much swollen, and a portion of one of the cheeks
assumed a dark blue colour, approaching to black. From
the general appearance of the deceased, it was strongly
suspected that she had been beaten about the head and
face, and afterwards thrown into the pond, and these sus-
picions were strengthened in consequence of a wound
which was perceptible on the top of her head, and from
which blood was flowiog when she Wai dragged out of the
water. The Coroner for the county being apprised of the
circumstance, attended yesterday at the George the Fourth,
in the Brixton•road, for the purpose of bolding an inquest
on the body. Several witnessi;s were examined, a!1
amongst them a serjeant and cot stable
i belonging to the P
Division and from whose testimony t appeared that the
deceased had been observed in the Brixton-road, On Tues-
day morning, at half-past one o'clock, evidently under the
influence of liquor. The serjeant spoke to the deceased,
offering his assistance to conduct her tri the road home,
but she rejected his offer with contempt, saying that she •
was quite capable of taking care of herself. She was then
left by herself to pursue her journey, and nothing more was
heard or seen of her until she was found the same morn-
ing in the pond. A surgeon, who examined with great
minuteness the wounds, pronounced it as his opinion that
they were caused by falls, previously to her having got
into the pond. After a lengthened investigation, the
Jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally drowned."
