DEAD BontEs.—The supply of dead bodies
for dissection beingnow under the consideration of Par-
liament, we are reminded of the.riots which took place in
London in 1795, upon this very subject. Twenty of the
parishes of the metropolis and its neighbourhood coalesced
to prevent the robbery of church.yards.• They set forth
the dreadful scene that had just taken place in Lambeth
burial.-ground. One night three men were discovered
conveying away dye human bodies in three sacks. In con-
sequence of this, people of all descriptions, whose friends
had been recently buried there, assembled on the grO"hi nd
the next morning, and demanded to be allowed to exa-
mine the graves. • This being refused, a furious con-
test took place between the populace and the Peace
Officers, who were soon overpowered. The assailants
now rushed into the burial ground, and, began to
tear open the graves, when an immense number of the
eoffine were found to be empty. :Many of the people,
in a kind of phrenzy, snatched up the empty coffins of
their deceasedvelations, and ran with them through the
neighbouring streets. Thr Coipmittse proceeded to state
that they had ascertained that the grave-digger was the
chief robber ; and that eight eminent surgeons were in the
habit of buying these bodies ; and that they retained in
their pay 15 ho ly-stealers, and five shillings were given to
the grave-diggers for each corpse they permitted to be
taken. • Thirty burying-grounds had been robbed. The
surgcons paid for each adult corpse, if not green or putrid,
two guineas and a crown ; and for persons under age, six
shillings fur the first foot, and pittepence per inch for all
above it. . One eminent quack, who styled himself an Ar-
ticulator, was proved to have made a wanton use of these
bodies, by using the skulls for nail boxes, soap trays, kc.
And that his child had an infant's skeleton to play with as
a doll. The Committee also stated, that much of the hu-
man flesh had been converted into an adipose substance
resembling spermaceti, and burnt as candles, whilst some
had been converted into soap.

COURT OF CHANCERY, MAY 3.
MIDDENS AND CONGRIVE.

Mr. Twos and Mr. LowNDEs were heard in sup-
port of the deMurrer filed by. Messrs. Beauvien and
Hinde, two of the defendants in' this suit, which is
instituted by certain shareholders of the Arigna
Mining Compapy, to •recover from Sir Wnt. Con-
greve, Mr. Bregderi;, the Mikes, and others, the
sum of 15,0001., being she difference between the
amount for which -the -mines 'were .bought of Mr.
Flattery and that for which they sold to the com-
pany. The demurrer, was for want of equity, and
for want of pafties, and for superfluity of parties.
It had been overruled by the late-Vice..Chancellor,
and came on now by appeal in this Court.
• Mr. HORNE, Mr. SUGDEN, and Mr. LEE, were
heard on the other side.
The LORD CHANCELLOR affirmed the Vice-Chan-
cellor's decision, atid: overruled the demurrer, giving
the parties six weeks' time to answer.

COOK r. BANKFfi.

In this case, in which the question is, whether
Lincoln's-Inn is part and parcel of the parish of St.
Andrew, Holborn, or extra parochial, the Court to-
day intimated its opinion, that the rule for a new
trial must he made absolute.

ARCHES COURT; MAY 3.
EARL OF, PORTSMOUTH'S CASE.

The Kr.vo's ADY6CATE addressed the
.Court at
considerable length, on behalf of Lady Ports Mouth,
and contended that the transaction of the marriage,
though 'he could not defend it on the 'gcore of
delicacy, should not be, set aside 'on that account.
He added that LordrPortsmouth had not' Yet been
proved an incompetent person,and that his "fancy for
lancets, black jobs," and breaking coachmen's legs,
indicated 'a perverted taste, not insanity. The
further "arguments of the Learned Counsel were
adjourned to a future day,—ln the, course of the
trial.the following conversation took place:—

The CouRT.--:What is the amount of costs taxed
as against the husband in this suit ? _ _

The REGISTRAR stated the amount to be -under
1,0001.
The COURT.—Because it has been stated, I un-
derstand, that the costs would amount in this Court
to 30,0001.
Dr. LusnINGToN.--7lt, was so stated by a leading
Counsel in the Court of Chancery.
The KING'S ADVOCATE.—AII the costs, in this
Court and the Consistory, are, I understand, below
1,500/.

The, COURT.—It is important that, as a report of
this kind, that costs in such a suit as thiS would
amount to 30,0001. has gone out to the World,. it
should be contradicted.

Mrs. FRY, the benevolent quaker lady, whose
efforts in favour of female prisoners are 'so well known, ar-
rived in, Stafford, accompanied by Mr. Faltvrand her
daughter, on Thursday. She, inspected the county prison
in the course of the lateral:lOn, and, in company of some
ladies whom she had requested to meet her in the evening,
she expressed her: gratification at the courtesy with whicii
she. had been received by the:governor. and matron. Mrs.
FRY repeated her visit to the prison on Friday morning,
and' before leaving the town, made arrangements, .for the
formation of a ladies' Association, with the view of having
the female prisoners.regularly visited, provided the propo-
sition, meets the approval of the county Magistrates.—.
Lichfield Mercury.

A short time ago, three lively young wood-
cocks, unable to fly, were discovered in the woods of the
Duke of DEVONSHIRS, near Bolton Abbey.—Leeds Intel.
ligencer.

GLASGOW A ssIZES.—At the GJasgowAssizes
which terminated on Wednesday last,
,there, were indicted
115 personstin 84, different cases or indictments. At the last
spring Circuit there were 77 cases, comprising 1311 indi-
viduals. There is, therefore, this year, ..a diminution of
18 in the number of persons indicted.

We have the authority of a distinguished
officer, who was engaged in the battle of Navarin, for say-
ing that a great portion of the anecdotes which have been
circulated 'relative to that affair are absolute fictions. One
in particular which went through all the papers, and de-
tailed with great exactness certain Occurrences in which he
was himself concerned, had not the slightest foundation.—
Brighton Gazette.
On Monday afternoon, a woman, 80 years of
age, residing in Coburg-buildings, Laurieston, perished in
a lamentable way. Nei grand-daughter had
.gone out to
execute some errand, and in the interim .the poor frail
creature, had fallen forward on the grate, and 'being unable
to regain her position, the fire consumed her clothes, and
scorched her features in the most dreadful manner, her
eyes being literally burned out of the sockets: Death soon
put a period to her sufferings.— Glasgow Chronicle.
Measles have been very prevalent in this neigh-
bourhood for some time past ; and a number of children
have fallen victims to the disorder. In one instance when
a funeral party were assembled, and the clergyman was in
the act of invoking comfort to the parents, a second child
expired under the same disorder; and it became the me-
lancholy duty of the person presiding to re-invite the com-
pany to the second interment. In another family three
children were successively seized with measles, and it ended
fatally in each case.— Glasgow Paper.
THE MURDER AT OLDRURY.—The unfor-
tunate man who is charged with committing the dreadful
murder on Hoarow, the officer of the Oldbury Court of
Requests, has been apprehended, and was committed to our
county gaol on Sunday. The circumstances of his appre-
hension are curious. It appears that after he had stabbed
his victim, he left his home; and in wandering over the
country, came at length to Pontypool, in Monmouthshire,
where, at a small village alehouse, he entered into conver-
sation with the landlords and mentioned that he had re-
cently left Shropshire. Shortly afterwards, a person whose
business as an engineer led him into the same country,
happened to call accidentally at the home, and the landlord
casually mentioning that a countryman of his (the engi-
neer's) had just been there, an inquiry as to his business
and appearance led instantly to a suspicion that he was the
man who was charged with the murder, as it appeared in
our.foriner Chronicle. He was speedily arrested, and on
biting, taken to ilales Owen, and identified, he was coin
witted to take his trial for the murder..—Shrewsbury
Chronicle.

REMARKABLE STORM AND DESTRUCTION
OF A MILL, AT GRESHAM, IN THIS COUNTY..—OOFriday,
the 25th ult, about four o'clock in the afternoon, this place
and neighbourhood was visited by one. of the most tremen-
dous hurricanes ever witnessed. It oreurred .suddeoly, as
in a moment, from the south-west, accompanied by a roar
like thunder,
and taking a north-eastCrly direction towards
Cromer, spent itself at sea. The extreme force of the whirl-
windoftithlaesitt broughtecltcarcelyetohmrepelentlein4n upon an honest and es ; but in that short space
in-
dustrious man of the name 'ot WM. WATTS with a wife
and family of five young children, by rending the sails and
stocks from his mill, lifting. the whole fabric from off the
post, and crushing the beatnS • and inside- works to pieces,
together with the roof and walls of the romul-honse, which
had lately been erected ; and in short so mutilating and
destroying the mill itself, as to make it necessary to haye
the whole'of it taken down, and rebuilt at an expense far
beyond his ability to bear, One of the sails was blown
fifty yards from the spot, and what is very extraordinary,
some feet of the weather-boarding were blown near two
furlongs. Though the unfortunate 'miller endeavouredta
stop her, the gripe and his efforts proved useless—he being
much alarmed, had providentially left the 'mill when she
was literally dashed to pieces,--Norfolk Chronicle,

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.— William Watt was re-examined on
Saturday, before :Mr.•Alderinan'Woon, upon a charge of
embezzling a bill of exchange for 2281. received by him in
the capacity of a clerk,on account Of his employers,Messrs.
Morrison and Co., haberdashers, in Fore-street, and com-
mitted for trial.
BOW-STREET.—On Saturday a boy named James
Brennock, and a man named John Lyons, were placed at
the bar, the former upon a charge of robbing his employ-
ers, Messrs. Dolan, army-clothiers in St. Martin's:dane, of
eight silver spoons, some ready-made military clothing, and
several pieces of cloth ; and the latter was charged with re-
ceiving part of the goods with a guilty knowledge.
The boy, in his defence, said that the spoons were given
him to pawn by a boy named William, who was also in
the employment of Messrs. Dolan. This boy, however,
who had lived with the prosecutors for two years, received
an excellent character from them ; and the Magistrate re-
marked, that in endeavouring to charge an innocent person
with participating in his guilt, the prisoner had aggravated
considerably the offence of which he stood accused.
The prisoner Lyons protested strongly, that when Le
bought the "cuttings" from the lad, he had no notion that
they were stolen.
Mr. HALLS, in committing both parties to take their
trial, observed that the great majority of crime in the me-
tropolis, particularly with reference to juvenile offenders,
was owing to the facilities with which stolen property could
be parted with.
