The Coaouraremarked to the Jury, that, althougla
it was very clear that an enmity had existed between
G. ammond and the deceased, and that the latter had
died of the injuries he received, still there was such
an insufficiency of evidence as not to warrant his being
charged with wilful murder ; "but, however, if they
considered the act to amount to glatattlgilliers, they
would return a verdict. to that effect. "
The Jury seemed at a loss, for some time, to lennti
,what conclusion would be proper for them tetnme
to; hut at length they returned a verdict of " AC'
cidental Death:.

Upon the verdict being recorded, the Cow-mu saidt
that he was sorry the decision of the Jury had Munk
it out of hii power to punish Drummond. That
power now rested With the Magistrate, if the Mad
could be met with.

An Inquest was held, on Saturday night, at the
Vestry Room, in St. John's Church, Hotselyctown,
On the body of John Ingram, who resided in Ber,
mondsey-street, Southwark, ittd met his death udder
the following cifcbmstances:--,Daniel Barber, re-
siding in Red Lion-court, stated, that the deceased
and two other men•were going down the River on
the preceding Sunday, towing a vessel, what a gale
arose, and drove the vessel forward on the wherry
in which the deceaSed was, and turned it bottom
upwards. The thiee men were turned into the
Thames; two caught hold of the vessel's bob-stay,
and in that manner, with the help of witness, rescued
themselves from a watery grave. The deceased sunk,
'and witness saw him rise again under the vessel's
stern. Witness leaped into the water after him, and
caught him by the jacket; but from his violent strug-
gling, together with another vessel coming down the,
River, he was obliged to let him go, and with ditti-
culty saved his own life.—The Jury returned a ver-
dict of sg Accidentally Drowned."

An old woman, the wife of a weaver, at Cambus-
barron, died a few ago, who had lost the use of her
eyes many years, but who, notwithstanding, employed
herself during her blindness in winding the woof of
her husband's webs, as well as that a others; but
what is most singular is, that with her the sense of
feeling became so acute, that she was able to discri-
minate the different colours used in the worsted which
went through her hands, so that the loss of vision
seemed to give her little inconvenience.
About a month ago, a young slender-looking per-
son, apparently about nineteen years of age, made
application to the Master of one of the London
traders at Dundee to be admitted an apprentice on.
board his Vessel. After some communing., an agree-
ment was entered into, and the apprentice set abouC
his service with great alacrity; and, during the voy-
age, performed the duties of the ship to the entire sa-
tisfaction of the Captain,who observed his apprentice
possessed rather an effeminate and modest demeanour,
and a great lack of " juvenile beard." On the ves-
sel's arrival at London, the apprentice suddenly dis-
appeared, and after a fruitless search on the part of
the crew, she returned minus the apprentice. On the
succeeding voyage, a person came on board the ves-
sel, and demanded the clothes of the runaway, who,
the person stated, was of thesex feminine ; and having
accomplished her object, was now desirous to quit the
hazardous profession she had embarked in. This de-
tail had its ftill effect on the byestanders, and the
" b'ck of beard," ski the same time flashing over the
Captain's mind; he determine) upon visiting the run-
away, and was conducted, not to the presence of the
" raw Queensferry lad" (for such the apprentice in the
first instance stated herself to be), bat that of a strap-
ping wench just out of her teens, " dazzling with
nature's graces,"and.arrayed in the attire peculiar to
her se:. After some explanation, she stated that she
belonged to Inverkeithing, and being anxious to get
to London, had- recourse to the planshe had adopted.
It is supposed that a love affair bad given rise to this
female Quixotism.
