is to read to you the opinion which I know the jury and
myself entertain upon this subject. It is as follows :
"That the deceased was wilfully murdered on Monday,
the 31st. cif March, and that have to think wo
might have come to a verdict as to the individual who so
murdered her, had the police, atibrned proper facilities for a
due examination of witnesses against the person suspected."
Mr. Oldham, the cutler, wished to ask the Coroner a ques-
tion. He was bound to appear before the grand jury on Mon-
day and Tuesday, and possibly he would be detained before
them until Wednesday. In that case he could not appear
before the Coroner to give evidence, if he was required. Now,
be wanted to know how he was to act under such circum-
stances ?

The CORONER—You cannot be in two places at the same
time; and, if you are detained before the grand jury on Wed-
nesday, that will be a sufficient reason for your non-atten-
dance here.

Mr. Oldham thanked the Coroner and retired, after which
;he inquiry was adjourned until Wednesday next.

HAMBURGH AND DUTCH MAIL•

BERLIN, MARCH 27.—Yesterday letters arrived from
St. Peter,..hurgh: they confirm the accounts of the pre-
paration which the Emperor is making for a tour to in-
spect the army, and for a visit to Warsaw. Accounts
from that city mention several regiments which at pre-
sent form part of the Poli'h corps of the army, but
which are to be sent to reinforce the army employed
against the mountaineers, and are to be previously re-
viewed by the Emperor. With respect to the journey
of the Empress to the hot springs at Kreuth, in lia•
varia, nothing certain is known at St. Petersburgh it•
self. It will all depend on the state of her Majosty's
health, and her being sufficiently strong to bear so long
a journey.

BERLIN, MARCH 29.—The King gave an audience on
the 27th to the Baron T.Zenduffe, the Portuguese Am-
bassador, and received from him the insignia (sent by
her Majesty the Queen of Portugal) of the three united
royal Portuguese military ord€rs of Christ, St. Jago de
&pado, and St. Bento d'Apiz.
COPENHAGEN, MARCH 28.—The communication with
Sweden across the ice continues to-day, but some per-
sons have lost their lives. At Elsin,.;re the Sound sod-
denly opened, and two ships have arrived there, though
only ten minutes before two persons crossed the ice from
Sweden.

BERLIN, MARCH 26.—The Russian Government have
lately ordered Kalisch to be more strongly fortified,
and a new levy of 100,000 men to be made. As the
fortifj ing of Kalisch is of particular importance to
Prussia, on account of its vicinity to our frontiers, it is
said that our Minister for Foreign Affairs has directed
M. von Lebermann, in St. Petersburgh, to ask for some
explanation on the subject.
BREMEN, MARCH 31.--I am sorry to have a most cPs-
tre.,sing piece of news to send to you. The river after
having attained the height of 181 feet, made a breach in
a dike in spite of every elf lit, and pours with dreadful
violence over tho adjacent country and suburbs. The sight
is awful; near the breach the lims. a and trees are swept
away by the furio is torrent which carries everything
before it. Unfortunately, it seeing that several lives are
lost, the torrent being so halms that the bo its sent out
to afford assistance could not reach them. Be,.we.:n
thirty and forty houses are sail to have been overihros":n
and carried off. The water is now falling ; bat the
l.,wer streets in the city are still inundated. Tte Bremen
Gazette of the 31st gives a longer aceount, but says that
it is not possible to enter into more (Iv:ails.
P.S. At half-past three in t}!...e afternoon, the ac-
counts are rather more favor cable, no more persons are
missing, an,i those who uad taken refuge on trees and
the roofs of house§- are all saved. The water continues
to fall.

MARcU 30.—A number of ships have
arriv"_;:i from sea, and those that hare arrived up to this
3uay at noon, as well as those that lay on the beach, are
in the quarantine harbour ; some have already gone up
the Elbe.

HAMBITRGH, APRIL I.—A very advantageous change
in the state of the ice has taken place during the night.
Several ships have come up the Elbe from Cuxhaven, and
some small vessels have passed Blankeneuse.
TWELVE AT NooN.—Eight of the steamers are lying
at the Luhe, and the Helen Macgregor is at anchor near
Wittingburg.
The HAGUE, APRIL 2.--From the accounts received
to-day of the state of the rivers, it appears that the waters
everywhere continued to rise, and that the dikes had
suffered during the late storms. The state of the Rhine
dike at Liendea caused some apprehensions, and great
exertions were making to strengthen them.
From Bois le Due we learn that some dikes had given
way, and that on the evening of the 31st of March six
breaches were made in the Empels dike, one of which is
from 120 to 150 feet in width.
The Rhine at Cologne at half-past six in the evening
of the 30th of March, was at 31 feet 71 inches; in the
following three hours it rose only half an inch.
A letter from Cologne of the 30th March says—" The
Rhine gives us a melancholy spectacle. The
rapid thaw after the long winter brings down an im-
mense mass of water, for which the bed of the river 13
too narrow, and which consequently overflows the banks
to a great distance. All the streets near the Rhine are
inundated, from the Custom-house to the bridge, only
the upper half of the houses is visible. Boats are plying
backwards and forwards to maintain the communication
between the overflowed streets and the other parts of the
city. Opposite to us on the right bank, Deutz is almost
wholly inundated, and forms an island; in the gardens
only the tops of the trees are visible, and the Dragoons
in garrison there were obliged to leave their barracks
some days ago, the water having penetrated to their
stables. The whole surrounding country suffers greatly
by the inundation, and thoueh seve-ral breaches in the
dikes of the neighbourhood have taken place by which
new outlets are opened to the water, it still continues
to rise, and threatens us with further ravages."
It is probably owing to the inundations that the South
German papers have net arrived to-day.
We have received the Java papers from the 7th to the
14th of December ; those of the 11th have the following
account :

" News having been received that an English ship was
stranded and set on fire on the Karang Oedjong, between
Woelangan and Berouw, on the East coast of Borneo,
and that the crew, consisting of six Englishmen and
some Benealese, had been taken up by the people on the
coast, and were et Geonong-Taber nod Tandjong (as
mentioned in the Stoats Courant of the 20th March.)
('he schooner, the Egmond, commanded by Lieut. Van
Capellen, was sent by Mr. A. L. Widdik, the Commis-
sar:). for Borneo, &c., to endeavour to bring away ttie
shipwrecked crew and take them to Banjermassing.
" The ship arrived on the 20th of October at the
mouth of the river of Berouw, and after some corre-
spondence with the Sultans of Taudjong and Grim, ng-
Taber, and a personal interview of Lieutenant Capellen
with the two Sultans, he succ.e lei in oetaining the re
stocation of some of the goods that were saved, and the
release of the crew. The native crew of the Premier
having found means to go to S
" The shipwrecked men, W. Brownrig, J. Watson,
J. Matthews, H. Matthews, S. Macdonell, W. Pinkerton,
and F. Patina, went on board the Egmond in good
health on the 26th of October, and were landed on the
Ist of November at Banjermassing, whence they were to
be sent to Batavia in the brig Mansoerie.
" Though these people have suffared much during
their stay with the uncivili.eed prinees of Taudjong aLd
Gotmong Tabor, yet it appears to the Commissaryy, that
their representations of bad treatment by the Sultan of
Goenong-Tabor were rather exaggerated, and that the
demand of that prince to have them back must be
ascribed to the wish to injure the Sultan of Taudjong,
with whom they were in the Jast instance, than to a
desire to put them to death, or to sell them for slaves."
THE HAGUE, APRIL 3.—The account of the rivers,re-
ceived to-day, states that the water continued to rise
yesterday. Many dikes aro broken through.
The accounts from Cologne, of the 31st March, are
very distressing. All the dikes are broken through in
the low districts in the vicinity. The inhabitants of the
villages of Niehl, Merkenich, Ike., are among those
who have with the greatest difficulty saved their cattle
and effects ; but many have saved only their lives, with
the consolation that, as far as is yet known, none have
perished. Their misery is beyond description, as they
were unable to save the small stock of provisions that
remain after the long winter. Many houses, stables,
and barns are swept away by the torrent. All the stock
of corn, hay, &c., that remain, is spoiled, and the sur-
rounding places which received the cattle of the unfor-
tunate people cannot maintain them, being themselves
in want of fodder. The winter corn is destroyed, and
with respect to tho summer corn there is no prospect of
sowing it at present, the land, it is thought, being covered
with sand.
No South German papers received to-day.
THE HAGUE, APRIL 4.—Though the Rhine at Co-
logne has fallen a little, the rivers in the Netherlands
continued to rise yesterday, and the dikes in several
places were much injured.

NOVEL WATER CONVEYANCE.—About 10 days
ago some of the inhabitants of Dunkeld were astonished at
the appearance of two small objects on the surface of the
water at some distance from each other, borne along with the
gentle current. As they approached it turned out to be two
men, having each on their backs what appeared to be a knap-
sack ; they had no guns, nor any other military accoutre-
ments, but each held in his hand what seemed to be a long
pole, and they were supported on the water by what ap-
peared to be a bundle of clouts. The figures passed by
Dunkeld and its rapids in safety. No more was heard of
these apparitions at the time, and various conjectures were
in circulation ; but at length the mysterious visitors were re-
ported to be the ingenious and enterprising Mr. Anderson, of
Tullymet, and a friend, who, on separate air mattresses, were
inspecting the river for the purpose of testing its safety for
conveying potatoes and potato-flour to Perth. This day
(Wednesday) we had a repetition of the visit of the sance
persons on their air rafts, having each under their charge a
cargo of some of those materials, carefully covered over with
waterproof cloth. They were standing on their cargo ; each
had in his hand a long pole, at one end of which was a kind
of oar, placed at right angles to the handle, with its flat side
to the water. Sometimes they pushed the water at one side
and sometimes at the other, thereby directing their singular
vessel to the proper part of the river. As Mr. Anderson was
passing under the bridge he took off his hat to the inhabi-
tants, who watched his progress with much interest ; they
returned the compliment, and added a hearty cheer. They
are now away on their voyage, out of sight, and we wish
them safe to land. They have each a knapsack filled with
air at their back and at their breast, and appear to have
waterproof trousers and boots, so that they will float like a
duck, should any untoward event displace them from their
novel raft.—Perthshire Courier, March 27.

FIRE ON THE RAILWAY.—On Wednesday last a
quantity of cotton wool was being conveyed on the Leeds and
Manchester Railway, and when the train arrived at Wake.
field it was found to be on fire. The wool was spread in the
yard, but most of it was consumed or much injured before the
fire was extinguished. It is probable the fire was occa-
sioned by a spark or cinder from the engine.— Wakefield
Journal.

handcuffs placed upon him. Tandy then proceeded
to search his person, and in one pocket he found h.

5-franc counterfeit pieces, and one good one ; and 1;
another pocket four 4-franc pieces, all of which. were
good. Tandy then conveyed him to the Waterloo-stree,
