THE FARRINGDON-STREET EXTENSION.—The City- Im-
provement Committee have informed a deputation from
the Board of Works for the Holborn district, that it is
intended to raise the level of the new street, at the junc-

street less steep, and the ascent from Vine-street more
gradual and easy.

situate in Heneage-street, Spitalfields. The body was
tied up in a piece of black cloth, and there were two
bruises on the head and neck, which leaves vcry little
doubt but that the deceased bad been inhumanly mur-
dered. The officer conveyed the body to the churchyard
of Spitalfields, where Mr. Thomas Meeres, surgeon, of
Brick-lane, examined the body, which had only been
born a few hours. Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, will
hold an inquest upon the deceased this afternoon.

been expressly sent by the commissioners in her to test

method for instantly and safely lowering ships' boats

MINING INTELLIGENCE.—The Easter holidays would
naturally make business dull, if there were no, other
causes of •depression, and- we cannot report extensive
transactions this week in any description of mining stock,
although there has certainly bees a Letter demand for
dividend mines, notwithstanding the prEs uro f.,r money
and the fall in the standard for copper. Basset and
South Frances have both been more in request, and are
with difficulty obtained at quoted prices. Devon Con-
sole, 390 to 400 ; an improvement has taken place at one
of the mines belonging to this company, the 63 fm. level
at Wheal Emma being worth 1001. per fin. ; the reserves
in this part of the sett are increasing considerably.--
