BODY FOUND.—This morn'
mg about
the gasmanfri was extinguishing the lhts upon
friars-bridge, he observed the bed of human being
lying y a
terminus of
on the mud of the Thames, near the •
the Fleet Ditch. Police-constable Mills, 352, having
obtained assistance, conveyed the body to the Fleet
street police-station, and upon examination thereof by
Mr. Hutchinson, surgeon of Farringdon-street, he gave
it as his opinion that the deceased had been in the water
several days. Under the direction of Mr. Inspector
'x o'clock, ea
Chadwick the pockets of the deceased were searched:-
and among a, number of papers was discovered a letter
addressed to J. Holden, Esq., Mitcham. There we AV
also found a fashionable leathern purse, contaimng
14. i. 6d., and a yellow silk pocket hankerchief. The
following is a description of the person and dress of the
deceased, viz., five feet six or seven inches in height,
stout and corpulent, about fifty-five years of ag', and
grey hair; grey Chesterfield wrapper, black figured vest,
drab trowsors, and boots; frilled linen shirt, and black
silk neckerchief with white spots. The body lies at the
West London Union Workhouse for identification, and
a coroners inquest.
THE LATE CHEVALIER BENKRAUSEN.—This
mented gentleman, whose death was announced last
week, died on the 9th instant at Marienbad, and not at
Wiesbaden, as stated by mistake. He had repaired to
Marienbad for the benefit of his health, unaccompanied
by a single attendant, and the imformation of his death
through the medium of Lord Elphinstone, who is stay-
inga that spa, was forwarded to the Russian Embassy
at Vienna, and from thence sent to this country. Chevew
tier Benkhausen lis.d been Consul since 1813. He •Nas
in his fifty-eighth year. Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Lucas
are, we believe, two of the executors named in the will of
the deceased, and his affairs are now in their hands. He
was unmarried, and his fortune is chiefly distributed in
legacies to his numerous friends.
INCENDIARISM IN SITITOLK.—The spirit of incen-
diarism has again manifested itself by a farm, in the
occupation of Mr. Silverstone, of Saxham, being fired on
Saturday evening last in three places. This makes the
third incendiary tire that has taken place in this parish.
within the last full:tight.
