CORONER'S INQUEST.

SFSPICIOIIS DEATH" OF A WOclAN.—Last evening
an inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hos-
pital, on the body of Anne Wheeler, aged forty.
Morris Bayne, shoemaker, of East-street, Wal-
worth, said that he first became acquainted with the
deceased on Thursday week last, at the house of Mr.
Middleton, in Walworth, where she was lodging. On
Monday evening last a younr, man called upon witness
by appointment to go out and spend the evening with
a woman, and the deceased, who was with them,
said she should much like to go. They agreed to
take her, and at about seven o clock went to a con-
cert-room in Union-street, Borough, where they re-
galed themselves until twelve o'clock. At that hour
they left, and walked as far as the Surrey
Theatre, where they stopped, and had between
them a pot of ale and a quartcrn of rum. They then
took a cab, and all four rode in it to Wandsworth.
It was then about two o'clock, and the young wo-
man, Ann Wood, tried to induce the deceased;o sleep
with her instead of going home at such all Flour.
Deceased said she could not remain, and they then
made an arrangement with the cab•driver to kake the
deceased to her residence for 25., Is. 6d. of which
they gave him there, and proposed to meet him the
next evening at the Surrey 'Theatre with the remain-
der. They charged him to take her carefully to
East-street, Walworth, and then bade her good bye.
Witness was 3nuch astonished at hearing afterwards
that she had rot been home, but had been run over in
the Kennington-road. The deceased was not quite
sober when they parted. Witness had not -been able
to find the cab or the driver since. The driver was
a short man, of rather a florid complexion, and wore a
sort of sailor's hat and a box coat. The cab was of a
dark colour, and bad four wheels.

John Hundergeach, police constable 29 L, said that
on Tuesday morning last he was on duty in the Ken-
nington-road, when he heard the deceased scream.
lie ran to the spot, and found her lying in the road.
She said that she had just been run over. Witness
saw two market carts pass a short time before, and
Fmt constables in the direction they took, but they
could not overtake them. Deceased was taken.-to a
surgeon, and then to the hospital, where she died on
Wednesday evening.
. The persons who accompanied the decease to the
concert-room said they forgot the number of the.cab.
The CORONER gave directions for inquiries to be
made of the turnpike roan, and all persons in the-road
through which the cab passed, who could give any
information.—The inquest was then adjourned.

REPARATION OF A NATIONAL

INSULT.

The Tonlonnais of the 11th inst. publishes a letter
from Tangiers of the 12th ult., announcing the ter-
mination of the difference which had ariscn-between
France and Morocco. Our readers are already aware
that on the 11th of July last shots were fired by Some
Arabs on the boats of the French frigate Africaine,
in the roads of Tangiers. The Governor Ski Bous-
selam being then absent, immediate satisfaction Could
not be obtained. Several notes, however, wer.e.ex-
changed between him and M. de N ion, the Charge
d'Affaires of France, who on the 6th of August
dispatched the steamer Grondeur to -Cadiz, to.
invite M. Turpin, the Commander of the French
naval station in that quarter, to repair in-
stantly to
.Tangiers. The latter lost no time in
complying with the request, and on the tith he
arrived there, and hoisted his flag on board the
Africaine frigate. The Governor, in the meantime,
had returned to his post. M. e Nion and Com-
mander Turpin having concerted measures together,
notified to him their wish that the affair be settled in
tweiity-four hours. The reply of the Paclia was
satisfactory, mid he promised that on the next day
full satisfaction should be granted. In the morning
of the 10th, accordingly, three native Chiefs waited
on Commander Turpin, to apprise him of the decision
of the Conneil. As the offence had been offered at the
landing-place, it was determined that the sen-
tence should be executed on that spot. Eleven
prisoners were shortly afterwards brought
chained .together and with ropes tied round. their
necks. Among ;hem was the Scheriff Nahate-11.4111iial

hating incurred considerable expense in preparing for
the representation, made an application to Lord Eliot for
compensation ; but his Lordship has not condescended to
reply. It is right to state that the author offered to sub-
mit the manuscript to the Law Officers of the Crown,
and in the event of their deciding that there was any-
thing improper either in the dialogue or incidents to
withdraw it of his own accord ; but the censor was in-
' exorable. Ile lmd already decided that it should not be
produced, and " expostulations and entreaties" were, to
use his own words, " equally unaviling."
THE IRON TRADE.—We are happy to learn that
orders have been given at the Penydarran works to
blew in one furnace immediately, and that the forgemen
are allowed to work six turns (or days) instead of four.
At Cyfarthii works, we understand that orders have been
given to take on extra hands ; and it is also understood
that the two new furnaces at Ynisfaelt, belonging to the
same firm, will be put in blast in the course of a month
or five weeks.—Cardiff Advertiser.
