o'clock, a young woman, named Ann Rains, went into the
Flying Horse, '% ilson-street, Moorfields, and requested a bed :
having been accommodated, she retired to her room about.
eleven. Not making her appearance next morning the land-
lord went up stairs to ascertain the cause, when on going to her
apartment, he found the door fastened inside ; he first called out,
and receiving no reply, he broke open the door, when he found
the object of his search in bed apparently entangled in the sheets.
—On his reaching her bed side, she vociferated " Jesus Christ
protect me." Her manner and conduct left no doubt that she
had been seized with a fit of insanity. She became gradually
worse, and her screams alarmed the neighbourhood ; it was with
gee :t difficulty her hands and feet could be secured. About two
o'clock on Sunday morning she appeared rather tranquil, and
Sc was thought the malady had left her; but during the temo:-
ary absence of her attendants, she opened the window other
ciitinber and jumped out into the street (a height of 50 feet
ing on the third story) ; her skull was shockingly fractured.
The unfortunate girl was carried into the house, and medical
men were prompt in attendance, but she was quite dead. She
was a beau iful girl, apprze illy about 20 years of age; her
friends and relations, woo are respectable, reside at Newcastle-
upon-Tyne. It waa supposed that she had been disappointed
in marriage. An inquest, which lasted three hours, was held
on the body yesterday. The Jury returned a Verdict--That
the deceased had thrown herself from a three pair of stairs win-
dow, which caused her death, she being at the time in a state of
mental derangement.

Bow-STREET.—Yesterday James Smith, a tall
stout Irishman, whose face was severely lacerated and bruised,
and his clothes covered with blood, was brought up in custody
of James Jeffreys,- one of the patrole, charged with assaulting
Michael Gallahar, on Saturday last, in St James's Park, with
intent to rob him.—The prosecutor, who is a butler, was pro-
ceeding across St. James's Park, from Buckingham-gate to
Hyde Park-corner; and on entering the Mall, observed the
prisoner in company with another man, lurking amongst the
trees, and on passing them, overheard the prisoner say to his
companion, " Is tins he?" the other replied, "No ; but he will
do as well." The prisoner directly made up to Mr. Gallahar,
and solicited charity, as he said lie was a poor man out of work.
Mr. :Mahar suspecting that the prisoner intended re: bing him,
contrived to slip hiS purse between his neckcloth, and then bade
the prisoner go on, 'as he had nothing to give. Prisoner said, he
must, and would have two pounds, and directly struck Mr.
Gallaher a severe blow over the head. Mr. Gallahar ret irnect
the compliment with such violence, that the prisoner was laid
prostrate ; but immediately recovering himself, again attacked
Mr. Gallaher, and was again knocked down. Ile now called
to his companion to assist him, and both of them set on Mr.
Gallahar, who kept them at bay for three quarters of an hour,
until at length overcome by violent exertion, he fell to the
ground. The prisoner then jumped :on him, and searched I's
packets ; finding them empty, lie was so enraged, that in the
most brutal manner, he attempted to knock Mr. Gallahar's
brains out by beating his head against the ground : • fortunately
at this instant, a person came up to his assistance, and the pri-
soner, after a desperate struggle, was secured. His companion
made off.—Remanded for Monday next.
ROBBER'S DlSTURBED.—lnformatiop being re-
ceived that gangs of robbers infested the Harrow road, and
parts leading thereto, it was resolved to disturb them; and Hum-
phries, with a party of officers of Paddington, proceeded on
Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, to the above spot, in order
to watch their manoeuvres. On the arrival of the ofli:;ers in the
Harrow road they met a most formidable gang of desperate
thieves, who, recognizing the officers, one exclaimed in a low
voice, " Here's the,badger," meaning Humphries; they went
on, but were closely watched by the party, until they arrived in
a bye part of the road, when Humphries was convinced. from
their conduct that they were about no good, and the whole of
the officers went up and endeavoured to apprehend them, when
a desperate resistance was made, and a cry raised, " Murder
them !" Having pistols, the officers succeeded in apprehending
four of the party ; the others decamped with al passible speed.
The prisoners were taken to the watch-house, but the officers, on
endeavouring to unlock the door, found the key-hole stuffed
with stones and gravel, and the lock destroyed, no doubt by the
prisoners' companions. However, they were locked up and
se irched, when several knives were found on them, but nothing
which might lead to the discovery of any depredation they might
have committed. Humphries has since received several anony-
mous letters, swearing vengeance against him, and threatening
his life. The parties in custody were taken before-a Magistrate,
and held to bail. They were desperate looking fellows.
