DEATH BY. BURNING.

The young woman, Eliza Hill, who was so dread-
fully burnt last week, lingered till Monday night in
the most excruciating agony, and then expired. On
Tuesday evening, at half-past eight o'clock, a Coro-
ner's Inquest was held on the body at the Union
public-house. It appeared from the evidence, that
Turner, the sweep, his wife, and the deceased, were
all intoxicated ; that Mrs. Turner invited deceased
to take tea with her in the afternoon. Deceased
accepted the invitation, and. being intoxicated she
sat down in a chair in Turner's house, and fell asleep.
Turner was asleep when deceased entered. During
the time deceased and Turner were asleep some
woman entered the house, "a perfect stranger,"
who was described as having- a mark on her face,
and who laid some shavings down at the feet of the
decased. Turner's two apprentices corroborated
the above statement; and declared they knew not
who the woman was ; do not remember to have
ever seen her before. The apprentices lighted the fire
while their master and deceased were asleep, and
immediately went up stairs into the soot loft,
where they had not been more than ten minutes,
when they were alarmed by the cry of fire, and on
going down stairs, saw deceased in the kitchen, en-
veloped itt flames. The elder apprentice said the
shavings were swept away from the fire under a
table. The younger one said they were not swept
away;. they had no broom in the house; they were
placed ". all round the (deceased) woman's legs."—
Mrs. Turner said she went up stairs, and laid down
a considerable time, till site was alarm•td by the cries
of fire; and on going into the kitchen was alartred
at sight of deceased being so dreadfully burnt.
Turner stated that he knew not the deceased was in
the house till her cries awoke him; he endeavoured
to extinguish the flames, but the deceased being too
strong for him, pushed him away and ran out of
doors. Mrs. Turner was asked by the foreman of
the Jury the woman's name with a mark on her
face, who frequently visited Mrs. T., but she de-
nied all knowledge of any such person. During the
examination, the nurse who attended said she had
heard expressions calculated to excite suspicion, used
by some female itt the crowd, who said, "The
was not burnt half bad enough." The whole of
the evidence being so contradictory, and much sus-
picion being caused by the shavings having been
placed at the feet of deceased by a woman whom
they could not find out, the Jury, at the recommen-
dation of the Coroner, agreed to adjourn till the fol-
lowing evening, at half-past eight o'clock, when the
inquest was resumed, and the Jury concluded, that
notwithstanding the evidence was very conflicting in
some respects, it was yet made apparent that the
shavings had by some means caught fire, and com-
municated the flames to the clothes of the deceased.
They accordingly returned a verdict of " Acciden-
tal Death."

ANCONA, MAY 18.--It is affirmed that M. de
RIBEAUPIERRE has received from his Court very important
communications, which may probably cruse him to leave
his present place of abode, and repair to the Archipelago.
It is also said that the English Government has sent new
instructions to Sir P. MALcoLm, and that the Admiral will
shortly act for the protect,on of commerce in the Medi-
terranean. An application is also said to have been made
by England to the Pacha of Egypt, which may have great
influence on the affairs of the East. In general there is,
among all parties interested, an increased activity, which
is calculated either to lead to the consolidation of the new
Greek State, and the new arrangement of the dispute be-
tween Russia and the Porte, or still farther to spread the
flames of war. Large sums of money have been remitted
within these few days to the Counselor of State, M. Von
Buf,PARI.

VIENNA, MAY 21.—0 n the 20th of April
the publication of a political journal commenced at Bu-
charest; it is called the Wallachian Courier, and is pub-
lished twice a week, in the Walachian language. The fifth
number, of May 4, contains the ordinance issued by the
Russian President of the Divan for the cultivation of the
soil. At the end of April proposals were published at Jassy
for a political and literary journal, also in the Wallachian
language, to be called the Wallachian Bee. The Editors
express a hope that this journal may tend to the cultivation
of a language spoken by four millions of people, and which
derives its origin from the Romans.
BUCHAREST, MAY 12.—The Hospodar
GnK who lives very retired on his estate of Kolentino, in-
tends to visit Italy. After his departure, Kolentino, it is said,
will be converted into an hospital. We have many reports
from the theatre of war, but nothing certain. The want
of forage for the cavalry, and of means of conveyance, and
the spread of epidemic diseases, seem to have hitherto hin-
dered the operations of the Russians. Sanguinary actions
are reported to have taken place about Varna and Bahia-
chik. • The Grand Vizier was still at Chumla on May 3.
On Friday an inquest was held at Middlesex
Hospital, on the body-of CHRISTOPHER LEE, aged 22,
who poisoned himself at the house of his master, Mr.
Ascorr, in Tavistock-place. The deceased had for some
time laboured under a violent complaint in the head,
which, be said, made him become quite tired of life.—
Verdict, Insanity.
HORRIBLE MURDER.—We have been in-

formed that a most cold-blooded murder was committed
on Sunday evening, near Bruree, convenient to Charleville.
A countryman returning from Cork was waylaid by some
persons unknown, and most brutally beaten. It is sup-
posed he must have been dead before they left him, as
he was found there next day quite lifeless and bearing
marks of dreadful violence. A Coroner's Inquest was
held on the body, and a verdict accordingly returned. It
is our anxious wish that the perpetrators of this foul deed
Shall not escape the punishment due to their abominable
crime.—•Limerick Evening Post
