CAUTION TO MARINERS.
Extract of a letter from Lloyd's agent at Workington.
" Liverpool, Nov. 22, 1844.
" Captain Trunion, of the brig Middleton, of Mary-
port, requests me to report that, on the 7th of March
last, when on his passage from Buenos Ayres to Valpa-
raiso, in lat. 40 deg. 22 sec. S., lon. 55 deg. 13 sec. W.,
out five days (the latitude and longitude given as per
chronometer), he discovered rocks, on which broken water
was seen for a quarter of a mile north and south—they
were about that distance from them when seen. Captain
Trunion, on his discovering them, was then taking an
observation of the sun. He supposes they must be the
Ariel Rocks, although there is a considerable difference
in their latitudes and longitudes; that had his attention
not been particularly. drawn to that quarter whilst taking
his altitudes, they might have been passed unseen ; and
he can vouch for the accuracy of latitude and longitude of
ship when these rocks were discovered."

THE INFANTICIDE AT WOLVER-

HAMPTON.

The prisoners, Miss Railton, Mr. Sheriff, and Mr. and
Mrs. Hildreth, were again brought before the coroner's
inquest on Thursday, but no further evidence of any im-
portance was adduced, and the inquest was again ad-
journed until Tuesday next.
On Friday the prisoners were placed at the bar of the
public office before Mr. Hill, Mr. Barker, Mr. Dehane,
and Mr. Briscoe, magistrates of the county.
The only additional witness called was John Titley, a
cowman, who deposed that he found the body of a female
infant it the nightsoil in Mr. Quinton's outhouse.
The prisoners declining to say anything in their de-
fence were each committed to Stafford. Miss Railton
for concealing the birth of her child, and the other pri-
soners as accessories.
The magistrates intimated that they would take bail;
themselves in 801., and two securities for each prisoner
in 401.
Mr. Hill said he would wish to ask Miss Railton one
or two questions upon oath, but she need not say any-
thing which would criminate herself.
Miss Railton was then sworn, and stated that she had
recently been in the family way. Mr. Sheriff attended
her with instruments last Sunday month. He had at-
tended her with instruments within the previous week;
that she had no labour pains previously to his performing
an operation on Sunday month, and that some hours
afterwards she was delivered of a child.
The evidence affecting Sheriff given on the previous
days, and deemed necessary to fix the offence of attempt-
ing to procure abortion against that individual, was then
repeated by Colonel Hogg, Mr. Quinton. Mr. Ombler,
and Inspector Casey, and the prisoner (Sheriff) was then
committed to take his trial for felony at the ensuing
assizes.

SUICIDE AT TAB RESIDENCE Ole LADY GEORGIANA
FAso.—On Saturday night Mr. Higgs held an inquest
at the Malpe.s Arms, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square,
on the body of Joseph Keinch, aged forty, a servant oat
of place. John Wigmore, helper to Lady G. Fane's
coachman, said that on Saturday morning, at seven
o'clock, he opened the door of the stable at the back of
her Ladyship's mansion in Upper Grosvenor-Fituare,
when, though it was hardly light, he saw something
black in the water tub. Upon approaching it he found
the deceased with his head and shoulders in the water,
and his legs hanging over the side of the tub. Deceased
was then quite dead, and had evidently been so for some
time. The door leading to the back yard where the de-
ceased was found was sometimes left open all night, and
it was without doubt by that means that he got to the
tub. The tub was only about two feet in height, and had
deceased fallen in by accident, ho could with case have
got out again. James Field said the deceased lived at
No. 8, Shepherd's-court, and had been out of a situation
for the last four months, with the exception of three
weeks. On Wednesday last deceased had a severe ;it,
from which he was with difficulty restored. rue next
day, though better, he was by turns ratio:Aal and deli-
rious ; and as witness feared from his
manner that he
would lay violent hands upon hinaself,
son, a youth, to watch him close;
-he advised his

street, where he wale- so fast, and, as the boy said,

was heard of hit'
until his body was found at the rear
of Lady Fan"...) a house. Undoubtedly, for the last two or
three d"-.ys of his life, he was of unsound mind. Ver-
diß:{:" Temporary insanity."
SUICIDE Or A DESPERATE CHARACTER IN A STA-
TioN•HoirsE.—On Sunday morning a most determined
act of suicide was committed in one of the cells of the
station-house of the B division of police in the New-way,
Westminster, by one of the most degraded characters,
Sarah Colley, living in the purlieus of the Almonry, a
locality most notorious. It appears that, at half•past
eleven o'clock on Saturday night, she and another woman
were creating a great disturbance near the Nag's Head,
in Tothill-street, and Colley was at last given into
charge, and taken to the station-house, where she was
placed in a separate cell. She was visited every quarter
of an hour by the man on duty, up to twelve o'clock. A
very few minutes after an odd " bumping noise" was
heard against the cell, and on the policeman going in he
found her suspended by her apron to the door. She was
immediately released, and it seemed that having tied
tightly one er.d round her neck, she had then got upon
a bench and listened the other to a small bar across a
sort of ventilator ; she had then leaped from the form,
and being a heavy woman this was no doubt the cause of
the noise. Although she could have been hanging but a
very short time, scarcely a minute or two, and was in-
stantly
conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, it was
found she was quite dead on her arrival there. This
woman h as, in her time, been one of the most notorious
in the la.3ality in which she resided, it is said, for the
last quweter of a century—desperate in her encounters
with VI who opposed her, and a pest wherever She went.
