A FEMALE SEXTON.--A meeting of the Select
Vestry of St. Margaret's parish assembled for the purpose of
electing a sexton, vacant by the recent death of Mr. Gill, of
Bridge-street. There were several candidates for the office,
which is worth about 3001. per annum. After some preli-
minary business, the Vestry elected Mrs. Gill to be sexton, the
widow of the late sexton.

On Wednesday morning, a gentleman and his lady
were taking a walk, to view the works now in progress for
making the rail-road from Greenwich to London, when, on
looking under one of the arches, they discovered a boy, appa-
rently under ten years of age, naked, and employed in shaking
his clothes, standing near a hole in the ground, which seemed
hardly big enough for a rabbit to burrow in, from which it ap-
peared he had just emerged. The gentleman called to him to
come out, and enquired what he did there ? The boy burst
into tears, but could not be persuaded to leave his hiding place,
until a policeman came up, when, by dint of threats and en-
treaties, he was persuaded to come forth. He then gave an
account of himself in the most artless manner, stating that his
father and mother had died in Lambeth, about two months
since, of cholera, and that he had since been wandering about,
supporting himself by the voluntary gifts of the humane.
After giving a trifle to the orphan, the gentleman took his
leave, and the child ran to a neighbouring baker's shop, where
he purchased a loaf, which he devoured in the most ravenous
manner.

A curious relic of olden times was turned up lately
in a place called the Oak-hill Plot, on the estate of Sir
Ildward F. Bromhead, Bart., between Lincoln and Newark.
It is supposed to be the upper stone of an ancient quern or
hand-mill, and by its situation, imbedded four feet below the
surface in a regular stratum of fresh water deposit of gravel,
must have been there for centuries. Its shape is that of a
hemisphere, being of a hard rough millgrit or transition gra-
nite, in bulk about twice the size of a man's head. Imagine a
very large pumpkin cut in two halves, and the upper part
placed upon its flat base ;—upon the round top of the upper
part, a little out of the perpendicular, is a hollow like a cup,
into which the corn would be put, in about three handfuls at a
time—this is the hopper ; a hole passes from this cup (or
hopper) to the base, and of course conducts the corn under
the grinding surface, which acting upon another flat table
of stone would slowly grind in an hour as much as would make
a meal.

TIIE STEINBERG MURDER.—The house in
Southampton-street, Pentonville, that was the scene of this
horrible tragedy, was on Monday last taken possession of by
the new tenant, to whom it has been let by Mr. Cuthbert, the
landlord, at the yearly rent of 281., being 21. less than the
amount paid by Steinberg himself, and yesterday the premises
were submitted to the inspection of the public, each person
paying a trifle according to his circumstances. The house re-
mains exactly in the same state it was in when viewed by the
Coroner's Jury, with the exception that some part of the floor-
ing has been attempted to be cleaned ; but the blood was found
to have saturated so deeply into the wood, that the stains could
not be effaceed without planing a great part of it away. The
whole of the premises have at present a most melancholy and
desolate appearance. It appears that the house has been
taken by the present occupant, joined kith two or three other
persons, on the speculation only of showing it to the public ;
and, to render the sight as attractive as possible to the lovers
of the horrific, this scene of cruel butchery is intended to dis-
play a set of wax-composition figures, vividly representing the
murderer and his victims, and wearing the identical clothing
they had on at the time the murder was perpetrated. It is
stated that the enormous sum of 251. was given for the clothes
in question. The figures were expected yesterday afternoon,
and for hours Southampton-street was thronged by persons
,ho anxiously wait'd taking their chance of catching a sight
of them as they were being carried in. The speculation pro-
mises to turn out a profitable one, as in the course of yesterday
nearly 501. were taken. The adjoining houses on either side
have become vacant. Two police-constables were in attend-
ance to preserve order.
