the first time, a new Scena, cotnposesi by DUMAN,
in which she was rapturously applauded.

position, but that, with the permission of the audience,
the song, aborted to her would be executed by Miss
STEPHENS and Mrs. CHILD& This arrangement re-
ceived the immediate sanction of the audience. The
Oratorio coesisted of an excellent Selection, in which
Seignor Le VASKEUR again introduced the sir and
chorus Viva Enrico, which was loudly encored.

s.:3ulste's Inocuar.—Last night an Inquest was;
hcd..: a the Workhouse, in Fetter-lane, on the body
ok James Moir, the boy who was killed on Tuesday
r. crning, at the corner of Fetter-lane and Fleet-street,
'by being run over by oue of Messrs. Mewl's drays.—
It appeared, on strict examination, that no blame
..ould he attached to the driver, he being in his pro.
Iter place. The deceased was walking close to the
tray, when by some accident he fell off the kirb.

tone, and the wheel passed over his bead, and in-
:tend), killed him. Verdict—Accidental Death, oc-
casioned by the wheel of the dray, which, according
to ancient law, was forfeited to the value of ss.
Muarotn.—On the night of Wednesday se'nnight,
is little before seven o'clock, the body of a respec-
table woman, named Frances Buller, from Newton
in the Willows, Lancashire, was discovered lying on
the River Bank, near the Sluice House, in the city
of Chester, in a dreadfully mangled state. It ap-
pears that the deceased was a tanner, superintending
a small cancera herself, and had come to Chester for
the purpose of purchasing bark. On the night pre
ceding her murder, she was at the Elephant and
Castle public house, where she got a lass of rum
and water, and complained much of fatigue ;—and
about half past seven o'clock she left there, with
the intention of going to Mr. Moss's house at New
Crane- The night was extremely stormy, the rain
falling in torrents, accompanied with violent gusts of
wind; and it is supposed, that the assassin or assassins,
taking the advantage of a nights() fit for their horrible
purpose, way-laid her, and perpetrated the crime.—
Wednesday a Coroner's Inquest was summoned, be-
fore .1. COTGAAVE, Esq. which continued sitting the
whole of the day, and at night adjourned to 'lbws-
day, when, after a lung inyestigation, a verdict was
returned of—Wilful Murder, by sonic person or per-
sons unknown.--The deceased was a venerable
look-
ing woman, between 4p and 70 years old.
