Sir GEORGE MURRAY transacted business
yesterday morning at the office of the Commander of the
Forces, in the Horse Guards, with Lord HILL. Sir
GZORGE left town in the afternoon, for the Royal 11lilitary
College at Sandhurst.

Between ten and eleven o'clock last Friday
morning, some persons passing on the West-street road,
discovered, about half a taile beyond the town, a female,
rather elegantly attired, lying on the road, apparently in
the agonies of death. They raised her, and conveyed her
to the George and Dragon Inn, kept by Mr. T. INELSEY,
where she was received with the utmost promptitude, and
attended to with commendable humanity. Surgical ad-
vice was obtained, and it was then discovered that the
unhappy woman had swallowed a quantity of laudanum,
with the intent of destroying herself ; but, by the appli-
cation of due means, the deadly effects of the poison were
counteracted, and she recovered from the stupor which
had benumbed her faculties. Si hen she recovered, how-
ever, she had to relate a history pregnant with misfortune
and crime. She was a native of Scamblesby, but had been
for many years living a profligate life in London, until an
opportunity presented itself to her of again reaching the
home of her childhood. The kindness of an acquaintance
furnished her with the means of travelling down to Louth ;
she was there taken very ill, however, and sent to those
who had been her friends before she plunged into the
guilty course she hail adopted ; she conjured them to come
to her, and receive her last breath, as she imagined herself
dying, but they refused, and even threatened to have her
apprehended as a disorderly person. Contrary to her ex-
pectations, she recovered, but was obliged to leave the few
clothes that she could spare to pay the inn-bill. A humane
individual paid her coach-fare to Horncastle, and from
thence she came on Thursday evening by the Sociable to
Boston. After paying her fare she had only one shilling
left, and this being expended for her lodging, she had no
refreshment from Thursday morning until Friday noon.—
Stung to the quick by the harsh manner in which she hail
been treated, weary, faint, and desolate, she was at last
induced to swallow poison, and wandered forth in the
madness of despair to seek her death, when she was
promptly rescued from self-destruction. This unfortunate
creature is only about 22 years old, but the scenes of crime
and misery that she has been called upon to bear a part in,
create a sensation of horror and astonishment. She has
since so far recovered as to be able to leave Boston fur
Scamblesby.—Boston Gazette.
