HORRID MURDERS.

An Inquest was held yesterday at the London
Hospital, Mile-end, on the body of William Bartlett, a Scotch
labourer; The deceased lived with a woman named Anne Eb:
liott, in Brook-street, Mile-end. On: the evening of Thursday,
the deceased was seen staggering ,along Brook-sttkvt, towards
his house; he was then much intoxicated. Anne Elliott was
standing at the street dOor, and as soon as she saw the de-
ceased, she retired into the entry, and hid herself under the
The deceased having entered the house, walked
to the top of the kitchen stairs, when the woman rushed.
from her hiding-place, put both her hands on the deceased's
shoulders, and with great violence pushed him down the stairs,
'and he fell to the bottom. After committing this outrage,
she returned to the door, and said to thoSe who were there,
" What do you think of that fin. a West country woman ?"
The persons who beard her utter this expression were of opi-
nion that she was intoxicated. She returned to the stair-head,
however, and looking down, said, a Yen may lie there and die,
you old rogue." About an hour afterwards, some of the other
lodgers in the house, having been informed of what had occurred,
procured assistance, and went doWn to the deceased. He had,
it appeared, fallen on the stone flooring, and a considerable quan-
tity of blood had issued from his head. The woman was desired
to procure medical assistance, but she manifested great 'reluctance
to procure it, and said ahe would do very well: when he had got
rid of some more of his mad blood." She, at length went to Dr.
Harkness, but returned, stating that the Doctor was not at home,
and she could procure no other. The deceased was then removed
to the hospital, but (lied on the road. 'The woman complained
that the deceased had that morning pawned the bed, and obtained
liquor with the money. The surgeon of the hospital ..tated,-that the
fall had caused a determination of blood to the head, and that even
if assistance had been promptly obtained, the nature of the injuries
were stich, that no human power could have saved him,—The
Jury., having consulted together, returned a verdict of " Wilful
Murder against. Anne Elliott."—A warrant was immediately is-
sued for her committal to Newgate.

Dun" APRIL 21.—Yesterday morning, the Rev. Mr. Wo-
gan,, Curate of St. Mary's, Donnybrook, an aged gentleman of
the most exemplary manners and amiable character, was found
by his servants murdered in a most inhuman manner between
four and 'five o'clock in the morning. From all the circumstances
which have transpired on the investigation; it would appear- that
a man named Patrick Kelly and his'wife, both aged, had lived for
some years as servants with the deceased gentleman, and about
two o'clock yesterday morning heard a noise in the sitting
masterroom, being engaged
they at first thought was occasioned by their
engaged in reading; but shortly afterwards, hearing
a foot on the stairs; Kelly got out of bed and went to the
door of the kitchen where he slept, and bolding the dour
partly open, asked "is that you, Sir ;" upon which he re-
ceived a severe blow on the head that knocked him 'senseless:—

down stairs, whom he heard going out by the back-door.—Coro-
ners's Verdict.--'c Wilful murder against some person or persons
unknown."

LONDON,
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25, 1826.

We announced in our Paper of yesterday, the ar-
rival of a ship from Calcutta. By this opportunity,
Dispatches were received at the India House from the
Governor-General of India, with enclosures from Sir
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, containing the details of
the operations of the Army against the Burmese in
the early part of December, the general rerult of which
has been known for some time.

A Morning Paper, in reporting the receipt of these
Dispatches from Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL at the
seat of war, states that they announce the capture of
Bhurtpore, as well as confirm the accounts previously
received of the defeat of the Burmese. How Sir
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, commanding the Army at
Prome, could know any thing of the operations of the
force before Bhurtpore, we leave to be explained by
the Paper alluded to ? But this we can state, that at
the date of these Dispatches, no account of the fall of
that important fortress had been received by the Gover-
nor-General in Council, nor can we learn that any
such report prevailed in Calcutta at the latest date of
private letters from thence.
Since writing the above, we understand that Govern-
ment have received dispatches, containing the particu-
lars of the victory gained by the British forces over the
Burmese on the 3d December. Captain DAwsoN of
his Majesty's ship Arachne, was killed at the moment
of victory being declared.

In our selection of leading articles from the daily
Morning Papers, in our last page, will be seen one
from the Morning Herald, replying to some obser-
'vations which we offered a few days ago upon the
strictures of that paper on Naval Promotions. We
include this article in our selections, to avoid the im-
putation of being unfair disputants—not from
,
supposing tnat it can afford any amusement or in-
struction to our readers. For ours Aves we shall
only observe, that instead of declamation and
scurrility in reply to the observations we made,
vvhich can never assist any cause, much less bol-
ster up so weak a one as that in which the writer
of the articles in question has embarked, we expected
that some facts would have been produced, upon which
a justification of the attack on the Naval. Administration,
in respect to promotions, would have been attempted.
This certainly, if it could have been done, would have
been more satisfactory to his Readers than the long
tirade he has favoured them with, after an interval of four
days preparation. As it is, we shall leave the writer
in question to indulge in loose assertions and 'unfair
conclusions drawn from presumption only : and, in
opposition to his gloomy forebodings of the ruin of
the British Navy, we shall unhesitatingly assert, with-
out the possibility of contradiction, that it never was
at any former period of our history in a state so well
calculated, in all respects, as at the present, to inspire
well-founded confidence, and to justify anticipations of
its future glory. •

The French papers of Saturday evening, and the
Etoile, dated Sunday, readiul us last night. The
followiiag is the only paragraph 'of the smallest in-
