INQUEST ON THE BODY.

A respectable Jury was empannelled on Monday morn-
ing at eleven o'clock, by THomAs MILLE'', Esq. the Mayor
and Coroner, at the Town Hall, to enquire into the cir-
cumstances connected with the horrid affair. As, how-
ever, few or no additional particulars transpired that could
at all elucidate the mystery, the Inquest was adjourned for
a fortnight.

CONSECRATION OF A NEW CHURCH IN
THE PARISH OF SWINESHEAD.-The New Church which
has recently been erected at Chapel-Hill, near Tabershall,
was consecrated on Tuesday morning last, by the Lord
Bishop of Lincoln..—Boston Gazette.

Oxford County Gaol is now free from debtors,
a circumstance unprecedented for many years.
CATERPILLARS.---It is recommended to
shake a little hellebore (powdered) on trees infected with
the caterpillar. This being done, the caterpillars will all
disappear. The remedy is cheap and easy; a small
quantity of hellebore will do for each tree.—Edinburgh
Paper.
• SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—In the obituary
this week are recorded the deaths of two individuals at
Boston, on the same day, of the same Christian and sur-
names, (the latter rather a remarkable one), and of nearly
the same age. They were both interred on Sunday, and
their graves were not more than the distance of a foot apart.
—What add. to the singularity is that they were not vela•
tives.—Boston Gazette.

PROJECTED LAW LIBRARY IN LIVER-
FooL.—On Saturday week a meeting of some of the most
respectable members of the legal profession, in this town,
took place at the Clarendon-buildings, Joshua Lace, ESQ.
in the chair, to consider the expediency or forming a com-
plete Library of Law Books for the geneti..4- use of the pro-
fession. The want of a library of this kind has been long
felt; it being nearly impossible, from the immense number
of law books to which the practioner ought to have access,
and the high price at which they are generally sold, that
any individual solicitor could provide himself with an ade-
quate stock of legal lore. The meeting, on Saturday, re-
solved that such a library should be formed, to be called
" The Liverpool Law Library," and a committee was ap-
pointed to consider of the regulations under which it should
be placed.—Liverpool Albion.
CHARACTERISTIC ANECDOTEOF AN ARAB.
—My conversation with Abdulla Aga was interrupted by
the arrival of a medical gentleman, who had long resided at
Abusheher, and who was not more remarkable for skill in
his profession than a . kindness of heart, which led him to
devote his time to the poor inhabitants of the country who
sought his aid. He had just been setting the broken leg
of an Arab, of whom he gave us a very characteristic anec-
dote. " The patient (the doctor said) complained more of
the accident which bad befallen him than I thought be-
coming in one of his tribe. This I remarked to him, and
his answer was truly amusing. Do not think, doctor, I
should have uttered one word of complaint if my own high-
bred colt, in a playful kick, had broke both my legs ; but
to have a bone broken by a brute of a jack-ass, is too bad
and I will complain.' "—Sketches of Persia.

About a fortnight ago, a young woman of the
name of Margaret M'Kisser, servant to a farmer
near Fraserburgh, died 4er a very few hours'
illness, and after her interment suspicions having
arisen that her death had been occasioned by poi-
son, a warrant was granted by the sheriffto disin-
ter her body, for medical inspection.. The con-
tents of her stomach have also undergone exa-
mination by several gentlemen in Aberdeen,
eminent as. chemists ; and the Sheriff's Substi-
tute and Procurator Fiscal of Aberdeenshire,
having since repaired to Fraserburgh, and brought
the judicial investigation to a close, a warrant has
been granted' by the sheriff to commit John Lovie,
in. whose service the woman was, to Aberdeen
gaol, till he stand trial on the charge of having
poisoned her.—Aberdeen Journal.
Captain Lloyd's and Captain Anstruther's
companies of the 73d Regiment, with the Pay-
master, Adjutant, Lieutenants Seymour, God-
frey, Harvey, and Pinckney, band, &c. marched
from Fermoy to Middleton on Friday last, under
the command of Colonel O'Connell, and em-
barked in a steam-boat, which conveyed them to
the Cove, where they were put im board the
Fanny transport, which
is to take 230 of the
regiment to Gibraltar. The two remaining di-
visions are to eml)arlc in a few days on board the
_Nom and Lord sqfiield transports, under the
command of Major Drewe and Captain Hough-
ton. The first division sailed on Monday for
Gibraltar, and yesterday morning the second 4i-
vision embarked for the same destination.—,Li-

Two MEALS A-DAY.—In his late address
at the Franklin Institute at Philadelphia, Mr.
Owen said—" I had been accustomed to have
my three meals a.zday ; but when I went to New
Harmony, I was told by some that two meals
a-day would answer; and you know that law
fond of experiments, so I began to take one meal
in the morning at seven, Ct'cloci, and another at
five o'clock in the afternoon : and I consider it
seriously, as it regards myself, one of the greatest
discoveries that I ever made; and I enjoyed
these two meals more than I did all the meals
that I took before. So that I consider this
single discovery, just for myself, worth more
than all the money that I have expended there.
