ADJOURNED INQUEST.

Yesterday evening the inquest on the body of
Elizabeth Sabatina was resumed at the Rising Sun,
Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, before THOMAS
ritccs, Esq., ti4e Coroner, when the following addi-
6onal evidence was adduced :

Mr. John Howship, surgeon, of George-street,
Hanover-square,
had opened the body of the de-
ceased; in the cavity of the belly he discovered ap-
pearances of a violent bruise, which had undoubtedly
keen produced by some violence just prior to the
unfortunate woman's death ; this injury had pro-
duced an effusion of blood among the bowels ; wit-
ness could not say how far the said injury was in-
;trumental to her death ; but was of opinion that it
.erided in a great measure to accelerate it.
Harriet Turnley, sister of the deceased, deposed
that her sister had been married ,to her husband
about seven years; his c6nduct had ever been the
most unmanly and bruttul; upon several occasions he
.10. d beat her most unmercifully; he was in the habit
of putting a razor under his pillow at night and
threatening to cut her throat if she offended him.
The Coroner and Jury expressed the utmost iodig.
_
ri:ition at the brutal conduct of the husband.
After considerable discussion, the following ver-
dict was returned, " That the deecased had been
ill-used and neglected by her husband, which brought
on ill-health, which, added to a blow she received
front some person unknown to the Jurors, eaeted
her death on the 21st inst."

When the Conflict gun-brig left Sierra Leone,
the srpl2,lron 011 the Coast of Africa was healthy, with the
exception of the Rethcing, IS, Capt. D. C. CLAvEawc,
which vessel, it is feared, has been lost, with all the crew,
as some of her spars had been picked up about thirty miles
to the Northward of Sierra Leone, from which place she
had sailed, about five months previously, to cruise down
theemst. The Redwing lr.v.'ing been very actively aryl
successfully employed against the r.hunian traders in slaves,
that coast, repairs became necessary—she came home,
was refitted, and sailed again on the 10th eo May last, to
return and cruise out her limited time there, and Capt. C.
to obtain his promotion as a reward for his zealous services..
If the Redwing has been lost, we presume it must have
Leen by some accident, as no Officer had a more accurate
knowledge of the Coast—and the fate of her Commander,
as well as of his officers and crew, will be greatly deplored.
Capt. C. was a discreet, clever, scientific, good offisa a
,arm of General CEAvEnwe, aral was universally esteemed.

For many years past the north part of Brighton
has not been so seriously inconvenienced from the rising of
the springs, as it is at present. The well at Pate Lam (a
village about four miles from Brighton), of great, depth,
nuns over, nod the stream from thence floods the toad to
e.tighton, in many places entirely covering it. There is
almost a river on the level, which passes the new church,
and is there carried to the sea by an underTrourel drain.
The kitchens; of many houses in the neighl7ourbood have
-several feet of water in them to the great inconvenience of
the residents, and the loss of the proprietors. In one
house at Preston the water is no less than seven feet in
deptk, and in the ptc.blic.house at Patcham, the water has
taken possession even of the gronnd-floor, to the infinite
annoyance of the landlady, and her no small loss of cuetem.
The lawn in front of Major PAINE'S house at Patcham,
has also been literally a sheet of water. The coaches
travelling from Brighton to London ha7e been seriously
impeded, having to travel through water nearly the whole
.of the distance from henre to Patcham, and in some places
the axle-tree has been covered. On Monday one of the
coaches stuck fast, and the coachman was obliged to send
for fresh horses, on the arrival of which the efforts used to
drag out the vehicle snapped the pole asunder; fortunately
no further harm was done.—Brighton Gazette. • •
WANTON OUTRAGE.—On the evening of
Thursday the 10th inst., as a servant in the employment
of Mr. BOLTON, a gentleman of fortune, who resides in the
neighbourhood of Is;avan, was returning home with a pair
of valuable carriage horses in his care, he was stopped
within a couple of miles of Navan by a number of mis-
creants, who had evidently been in wait for him, anl
dreadfully beaten. The savages were not content with
maltreating the servant, hut in the most wanton and cruel
manner proceeded to torture the unfortunate animals ; one
of which they stabbed with a pitchfork, while the other
wa.s wounded in several places with a sharp instrument.
Alr. BOLTON had a short time previously to the committal
of the outrage given an acre of ground, on which a Popish
Chapel is being erected, and also subscribed a hundred
pounds towards defraying tke expenses of the edifice. Vet,
even his liberality, could not secure his property from the
vengeance of the sanguinary peasautry. Mr. Bor.zoN has
offered a reward of twenty guineas for the discovery of the
perpetrators of the outrage.
