UNION.HALL.

Yesterday Mr: Wardel, who has taken so ac(iti•e
a part on behalf of Mr. Watts, came 16 the orrice to
ask the Magistrates' advice with respect to the de,
tendon of that unfortunate gentleman : Mr. Wardel
said that Mr. Watts had not th• slightest suspicion
why he was detained, and was becoming very uneasy
about his confinement. It was considered, how-
ever, very hazardous to suffer him to leave the place
where he then was, in the state of mind under which
he laboured.

The Magistrates having expressed a desire to :ea
the unfortunate man, he was conducted to the office
by Mr.Wardel and led into a private room. He was in
a state of great nervous irritability, and on the subject
of his intended suicide being mentioned to hire, he
burst into tears : he declared that he had since tho.
roughly repented of the rash purpose.
The Magistrates suggested that if the subscribers
of the Philanthropic Institution, of which Mr. Watts
was the founder, were to call a meeting on the sub
ject, there was little doubt but something wouLt be
done for him.

The above suggestion was subsequently made
known to Mr. Watts, who accompanied Mr. Wardel
back to the house, the latter gentleman undertaking
that he should have every care and attention.
William Smith, who was footman to Rowland
Stephenson at the period that individual absconded,
was brought up, charged with stealing two pieces of
mutton from a butcher's shop in Union-street.
The prisoner said he was in want at the tame he
took the meat.—He was committed for (:ne month
to Brixton.

DEATH OF THE DOUBLE. HEADED GIRL

The child with two heads, lately arrived at Paris,
from Sardinia, ansl which has excited so much inte-
rest in that metropolis contemporaneously with the
Siamese youths in London, died a few days ago.
Thus all the hopes founded by modern physiology
on the observation of the phenomena likely to result-
from this double organization, if life had continued
longer, are now annihilated, M. Geoffroy Saint-
Hilaire had announced that there was only one
heart. At the Academy of Medicine it was pre-
tended that there were two. Until dissection de-
mopstrates the truth of one or the other of those two
opinions, we shall cite one circtumitance which seems
to resolve the question in favour of the opinion of
the Professor of Zoology, Ritta, or the right side
of the infant, had been ill for three days, and her ill-
niss did not Appear in any degree to influence the
health of Christina, the other side ; so that at the
moment when Ritta had given up the ghost, Chris-
tina was hanging to the breast of her mother and
playing with her face. Dot suddenly she let go,
heaved a sigh and died. At the end of ten minutes
Christina was cold, while Ritta, who had first died,
still retained some wiltillth eight hours afterwards.
If we consider the heart the ecntre of animal heat,
the circumstance we have just related becomes a
strong presumption of the existep,e of one heart ex-
citing two brains. Thy physiological fact, which.
raised the astonishment of the persons around, is so
much the more iateresting, as it may serve to ex-
plain tiwai, than one anatomical circumstance of this
curious phenomenon. The father refused for a long
time to suffer the monster to bit dissected, but the
solicitations of M. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire and the
injunctions of the polio overcame his repugnance,
and the bicephalic infant has been carried to the
Theatre of Attatturty, in the Jardia du Roi. It :s to
be hoped that it will not go from this,

Owing to the heavy fall of snow on Tuesday
night, both in tiie metropolis and in the country,' there
was a dtliy in the arrival of some of the mas yesterday
morning. The Ipswich mail-bag was sent to town by a
post-chaise and four, owing to. the snow being so deep; it
.lid not arrive at the Post-office till a quarter after eighty'
and the Dover mail at twenty minutes before nine. The -
told was so severe during the night, that seven!l of the
coachmen and guards were quite benumbed. The snow
was falling very heavily at Dover when•the mail left ; and the passengers by the Calais steam-boat stated that iti,.
snow and told hs d set in very severely there, and in all the.
north of France.

'MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BATH.

(From the Bath Chronicle of 'Thursday.)
THE CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE BODIES.

An inquest was held yesterday at Walcot poor-
house, before ASHFORD, Esq., Coroner, on the
body of James Beere the husband, Mary Beere his
wife, and Charles Beere their infant son, (of whose
deaths the particulars will be found in another
part of our Paper.) The jury proceeded to view the
body of the man lying in the poor-house, and also
the bodies of his wife and child, at the house where
the murder was committed. The bodies of the lat-
ter presented a horrible spectacle, the mother having
a large and deep gash completely across the threat,
and a smaller one just below the chin ; the child's
head was nearly severed from the body, the vertebra
being quite cut through, and nothing but a small
portion of the flesh kept the head from complete
separation. The bed was covered with blood. On
a box which lay beside the bed was found a razor
deeply notched arid clotted with blood, and in the
kitchen below was found a case, apparently the case
of the razor, and a plasterer's hatchet or lathing
hammer, which appeared sharpened and newly
ground. When the jury returned, the first witness
called was Mr. W. Russell, who, with the assistance
of two men, succeeded in finding the body of James
Beere, and conveyed it to Walcot poor-house.
W. Muckleway, a fellow-servant of Beere's, had
lived with the deceased fifteen months, and during
that time could speak to his general character, and
had never noticed any indication of insanity. On
the Saturday previous to the murder, Beere had
complained of illness in his head, and had left his
work about six o'clock on that evening ; witness
saw him again on Sunday morning about nine
o'clock, at the bake-house, he still complained of
illness, and appeared particularly dejected and low ;
he proceeded with his work until eleven o'clock,
when he said he should wish to go home, and left.
Witness did not see deceased afterwards. He had
always believed him to he a fond and affectionate
husband, and had never heard him speak of his wife
but in the best terms.
Catharine Elizabeth Chappell was then called ;
witness had seen the deceased on the Sunday morn-
ing after his return from work taking lunch with his
wife comfortably and happily; she had never seen
any indication of insanity, and coincided in the
opinion of she former witness that she believed them
to be a happy couple. The husband of the witness
confirmed the above statement.
This concluded the evidence touching the case of
lames Beere, but the Jury deferred giving a ver-
dict until the witnesses had been examined relative
to the deaths of the mother and child. Touching
this part of the case, Catherine E. Chappell was
recalled, and deposed that about half-past five
o'clock on Monday morning she heard some one
open the door of the room where Beere and his wife
slept, and hurry down stairs ; she also heard a noise
like the gurgling of blood in the throat; and think-
ing that iMary Beere had been taken ill, she got out
of bed, arid knocking at the door inquired what was
the matter. No answer being returned, she entered
the room, but the darkness prevented her from per-
ceiving any thing amiss, and again receiving no an-
swer, hhe desired her husband to bring a light; upon
entering the room with the candle the horrid scene
presented itself; the throat of the woman being cut
from ear to ear, the head of the infant nearly sepa-
rated from its body, and blood running from the bed
to the floor, in a continued stream. After recovering
from the shock she dispatched her husband for a
medical gentleman, and alarmed the neighbours;—
immediate intelligence was also given at the Town-
hall to the police officers.
Cottle, the police officer, stated that on the first
intelligence of the murder he made inquiry for the
hurbaud at the house of his parents in the Upper
Bristol-road ; he found the mother and daughter
seated at breakfast ; and on asking the mother if
she knew where her son was, they both appeared
much agitated, and inquired of what crime he had
been guilty. He then told them that their son had
committed murder on the bodies of his wife and
child : upon hearing this, the daughter exclaimed
eo her mother—" Oh ! mother, then you are done:"
Vpon the examination of Jane Beere, the girl
who made use of the above expression, she so-
lemnly denied this particular part of the officer's
statement ; but there was much prevarication
throughout the whole of the evidence, and many
things were denied by her, which subsequent wit-
nesses (her own father and mother) proved to be
facts. The evidence of the father and mother, who
were examined, went to prove that a great degree
of jealousy and ill-will had existed between the
female part of the family, on account of a charge
made by the deceased against his sister of taking
money ; and that they (the father and mother) had
frequent quarrels with their son on account of his
marriage with the deceased, to whom they had a
strong dislike ; though it appeared she had always
conducted herself with great propriety.
The Jury, after many hours' patient investiga-
tion, at a late hour yesterday evening, returned the
following verdicts the case of James Beere,
jelo de se; in that of the mother and child, uriOd
murder against James Beere, the husband; who is
to be buried, according to the late Act provided for
Such cazes, in the church-yard in the night time, but
without the usual burial service.

By the Austrian Observer of the 15th of
November, we are informed that the ratifications
of the Treaty of Peace had been exchanged at
Adrianople on ithe 28th of October. Adria-
nople was to be evacuated, and the head-quar-
ters of the Russians transferred to Selimno

ADRIANOPLE, OCT: 30.

The ratification of the treaty of peace by the Em-
peror of Russia was received here on the 27th, and
the next day the ratification of both parties (that of
the Sultan was made on the 27th September) were
exchanged by the Plenipotentiaries at the head-
quarters of Count Diebitsch. It was understood
that Adrianople would be evacuated by the Rus-
sians, and the headquarters of Count Diebitsch be
transferred for the winter to Selimno, at the foot of
the Balkan. The sth and 6th corps of the Russian
army has already left Adrianople to return to
Russia.

BUCHAREST, NOV. 2.

The plague has greatly diminished in all Wal-
lachia, owing as well to the cold weather, as to the
energetic measures adopted to check it. In Bu-
charest itself there have been lately only from one
to three deaths by plague daily ; and on soinz days
none at all. The accounts from the other parts of
the country are favourable. At Brailow, Tock-
scharri, and Brailitza, there have been no cases of
plague for more than this month past.
Silistria is wholly purified. At Kallarash,which
has a cordon about it, the disorder is much dimi-
nished. At Crajova there is only one case in five
or six days. At Pitischt, Kemipina, and Plo-
jescht, the cases are being rare. All the other
places that were infected are almost wholly purified.

The following are extracts from Brussels
Papers of the :25th instant :

CANDIA, OCT. 9.

On the 7th of this month, the garrison, by order
of Suliman Pacha, made a sally against the Greeks
who had assembled in great numbers at the distance
of two leagues from this city, which they seemed
disposed to blockade closely. The result of this
sally was fatal to the insurgents, who were driven
from their positions with the loss of 150 men. The
loss of the Turks was about 30 men. The resolu-
tion of Suliman to attack the Greeks does him the
more honour, as he has but very few men under his
command, and the enemy is much more numerous.

ANCONA, NOV. 3.

Accounts from Corfu confirm the fact of an
armistice between the Turks and Greeks about the
Isthmus of Corinth. They seem sensible that it is
useless to shed their blood in order to determine
territorial boundaries, which will be decided by the
Three Powers in their negociations with the Porte.
Two English regiments are expected at Golfo, from
Malta. It is said also that Missolonghi will be oc-
cupied by the English.
It seems that England intends to act the part of
mediator on the Greek continent, as France has done

in the Morea, and that the Lord High Commissioner
has received despatches from London, especially re-
lative to that subject.

BRUSSELS, NOV. 23.

We learn from the Hague, that it is certain that
the majority of the Second Chamber of the State's-
General, is decidedly in favour of the redress of
some grievances considered as more immediately
interesting, and which it will be the easiest to
remedy, hut without losing sight of others less
urgent. It is affirmed that conferences have taken
place on the subject with several of the Ministers,
and that well founded hopes may he entertained
for the conciliatory spirit which the Government
has shown on these important points.
Nov. 24.—A British Cabinet Messenger passed
through last night with despatches from London for
Vienna.
