MRS. PAIIiNTLEROY.-4t was, we ate assure.; from,
the best authority, intended to conceal the fact of the
execution of the hui•band of this unfortunate Lade,
until to-day, and ever since tne final determination i f
his fate, she has been led to believe that this wa, tl
day aprOinted for his death. Yesterday morning, hm..
ever, the fact was communicated tl her, in the w.,
which her friends considered would add the least to

her already harrowed feelings. We are given to u
del stand that the communication was made by letter,
from a Gentleman who has all along taken a deep

terest in the fate 4.f her unfortunate rtashand, as well
in that of Mrs. FAUNTLEROY ani her son. This

done about ten o'dock yesterday morning. This lett, r
was also accompanied by one from her rm. Mt,.
FAUNTLEROT'S sufferings are the most poigi:avt
is confined to her room, and sees none but her r CAresi

friends. -As soon as the fact was made known to leer

the shutters of her apartments were classed.
'fin, morning, soon after seven o'clock, the body a
the late Mr. Fauntleroli µa: removed from 51e,st,.
GAI it and BARNARD'S, uncle? takm, in the ad 11.‘ile,-,

enclosed in a coffin and shcll, and conveyed in a heat,

to the burial-ground, City-road. It tvir
there met by few friends, and interred. In ci.nsr:
quence of the funeral being so early, few were pewit::
A Correspondent in a Morning Paper states, that Le
is beneficially entitled to the interest of Fevetal thou-
sand pounds stock, shish Mr. Fauntleroy fraudulentOr
appropriated to himself by forging the names of his
co-trustees. •This criminal breach of trust he was, i...r
course, totally ignorant of, the disidends of the stock
being regularly placed• to his credit with the firm of
Mar.,h and Co. till the recent discovery of that unhappy
man's numerous forgeries. Ile says he is suffering
great inconvenience from the circumstance of being de-
prived of his last half year's dividend, which became
due the sth of October last.

Saturday was appointed, at the Pack Horse and Tarr:
bot, Turaham-green, for the letting tlfe tolls for oi.e-
year of the Hammersmith and Slialberry Green turn.;
pike gates, which, contrary to former custom, were put
up separately. Mr. GEORGE ROBLIS, the auctioneer,
who is a Commissioner of the Trust, was nnaninvosly
called to the Chair.—Mr. Levi, the present lessee, de-
clared that, at a reduced toll, he could no longer give
the enormous tental he hitherto had done.—Mr.lioams
quoted the Act of Parliament, which made it imperative
the putting up of the gates at the rental of the weeding
}ear; they then produced 9.9101. After some discus-
sion, it was decided, in separating them, to put np the
Hammersmith Gate at 7,9101. and Smallberry Gate at
2,0001. The ft:it mer was bought in at that sum; fur
the latter,2,4lol. was bid, but it was deemed imprudent
to separate them, and the sale was adjourned.
Yesterday, a man named Smart, a sawyer, was re-
manded, at Worship-street Office, charged with killing
another sawyer named Smith, on Monday evening, is
a public house squabble, at Kingsland.
The following instance of the extraordinary rise which
has taken place in the va:ue of farming stock, 'nifty
be depended upon. A farmer in a western count),
having, in the autumn of 1822, a quantity of ewes
which he wished to dispose of, took them for that
purpose to a neighbouring fair ; but being offered
only 7s. a lead for them, he was reluctantly com-
pelled to drive them home aggin. Each ewe has
since produced him two lambs, which he has sold upon
an average fur 15s. a piece; and a few weeks ago he
sold the ewes themselves at the same place for 275.
each, to the very person who had offered him the first
named price.
An Inquest was yesterday held at the Turf Tap, on
the body of Miss Elizabeth Childs. It appeared that,
on Friday evening last, a Mrs. Keeble and the de-
ceased were returning from London, in a one-horse
chaise to Fulham, where Mrs. Keeble lived, when,
on passing through Hyde-park-corner turnpike-gate,
something frightened the horse, which became restive,
and ran with the utmost speed towards Knightsbridge.
The deceased fainted, became insensible, and fell out.
The horse still continued its speed, and was stopped
near Great Sloane-street. The deceased was SO years
of age.—The Jury, after a short consultation, returned
a verdict of Accidental Death.
MARY-LA-Boaxt.—Mr. Pollard, cabinet-maker, of Howland.
street, was charged with the following gross assault. The com-
plainant, Mr. Bailey, stated, that he was the Collector of the
Water Rates for the West Middlesex Company, and bad yes-
terday called to demand payment of three quarters rates, which
the defendant was in arrear. He was at first told to call again,
but on-his remonstrating with him a little, and urging a present
settlement, Mr. Pollard observed, " Well, come this way,' walk*
ing cowards a back room, " I am not goiag to pay you with-
out a proper receipt ; it is complete extortion to take mosey
such as you give • I'll thew you how to make out aproper receipt.
Deponent accordingly went into the back parlour, where Mr. POI'
lard left hint, as he thought, to get the money ; he returned in a
few minutes, with a large bawl filled with slush of the filthiest
kind. which he threw all over his face and clothes, excLdining,
" There, that's the way to give a receipt."
The defendant justified himself by stating, that the complainant
had no business to come on his pientises.—Mr. liavrculson told
him he had no business to use other than gentle force to remove
him, and called upon him to End bail.
One of the Directors of the Company stated, that the able would
be certainly carried by them to the Quarter Sessions.
