A GIRL BURNT TO DEATH BY HER BRO-
THER.—An inquest was holden on Monday by Mr. Baker,
at the Prince Regent, Salmon's-lane, Limehouse, on the
body of Elizabeth Jane Boyce, aged nine. From the
evidence of deceased's parents, residing at No. 1,
George-street, Limehouse, it appeared that between one
and two o'clock on Saturday afternoon last, the mother
had occasion to leave the room, in which was de-
ceased and her brother, a child four years of age.
She had barely turned her back before she heard de-
ceased scream out, " Mother, Tommy is burning me."
She immediately ran into the room, and found the de-
ceased with the whole of her clothes in flames. They
were put out, and Mr. Cummings, a surgeon, sent for,
but so serious were the burns, that she died soon after.
Before her death, she stated that her brother set fire to
her dress with a lucifer match. The Coroner said the
child who committed the act was too young for the law to
take cognizance of the offence ; and the Jury returned a
verdict of—Accidental death.

The Presse, which had stated, on the autho-
rity of a letter from Berlin, that the King of Prussia in-
tended to embark at Calais, for England, now states,
from the same correspondent, that his Majesty. having
been informed that the English squadron which is to ac-
company him will wait for him at Ostend, has chosen
this port for embarkation, but that he will return to
Derlua by Calais and Paris.
