road, upon the body of Johanna Watson, who had dealt
in fish, and who had been married to, or lived with an
Irish labourer of that name in Whitecross-street. The
deceased was nearly 70 years of age; and the result of
the Coroner's Inquest was looked for with great anx:ety
in the neighbourhood where she resided, in consequeace
of the hitherto good character of her husband, aild of
his having been taken up subsequent to her dea:ll for
her alleged murder, and brought before the Nlazistrates
of Worship-street, where he had been for some time de-
tained. The reasons assigned for such proceeding, Aro,,
from some expressions which fell from the d;:ce.i e i

cross-street, as well as Mr. Bennett, a grocer, " 'that
her monster of a husband had kicked her in the side, lsy
which her ribs were broken. That she had remained
Tor three days on her bed, and was certain that she
would never recover." A Miss Phoebe Harris and Mr.
Bennett deposed to the foregoing fact.
Wm. Smith, a surgeon, stated, that he and his bro.
titer, who was also a surgeon, examined the body of the
deceased, both internally and externally; that the first
thing that struck them was the diseased state of the
liver, which is common with persons addicted to liquor,
accompanied also by tumour, which could not have
arisen (torn recent violence. They found also the lung;
to be diseased, and they appeared subject to an old
complaint. The valves of the heat t were also ossified,
which would of it elf occasion sudden death. They ais
examined the head, and found the vessels much dis-
tended. Saw tri external marks of violence nor any
fibs broken ; thought her death might be occasioned
by the disca,,ed state of the liver, the heart, or the head,
but saw nothing that could induce hint to think she
died flow any acts of violence.—The Jury in a few
minutes recut ned a verdict of " Died by the visitation
of Gun."

THE SUN LIGHTED WITH GAS.—M. ARAGO, of tl:e
Academy of Sciences, Paris, communicated to that
body, on the 14th instant, the results of several curious
experiments which he had made upon the polarisation
of light. From these experiments, he considers Kim•
self authorised to believe that the luminous part of the
sun is nothing else than a gaseous substance in combus-
tion, like the flame of candles.

SALE OF Wrves.--A great commotion was lately
created in the new market, Shude-hill,Manchester, byone
of those occurrences which sometimes disgrace the la-
bouring classes of this country, the sale of a wife by her
husband. The vendor was a pensioner with ore arm, •
named Hugh Pritchard; his wife was a good-looking
woman, apparently about six and twenty. After several
bidding-, she was knocked down for five shillings; but
not liking the purchaser, she was put up again, and was
finally disposed of for three shillings and a quart of ale.
The purchaser was then moving off with his prize; but
the crowd, taking up the cause of outraged decency,
began to pelt them with mud; on which the man slunk
away, leaving the woman to shift for herself, and she
was glad to take refuge in the lock-up on Shude-hill.
There Collier, the officer who has charge of the lock-
up, very properly detained her ; and having learnt where
the husband was to be found, he took him into custody,
and lodged both the delinquents; in the New Bailey. On
the following day they were brought up before Mr.
Norris, who remanded them till Monday, when they
were discharged, with a suitable admonition.
Tuesday evening, a man of the name of Norman, a
tailor living at Aylesbury, sold his wife, with her own
consent, to another person, living at the same place, for
half-a•crown. The purchaser accompanied her to the
house of her husband, who, having seen them within
doors, locked them in, and gave them the key of the door
through the window. The husband has left the town.
Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, a woman of
the name of Justice, residing in George-yard, White-
chapel, went into the house of Michael Corrigan, living
in the same place, and in the course of conversation a
dispute arose, and Mrs. Justice was desired to leave the
house; but on her refusing, Corrigan forced her to the
door. She made souse resistance, and while she was
standing on the steps of the door, Corrigan gave her a
violent kick on the bottom of the abdomen, and she ex-
pired in about ten minutes afterwards. Corrigan has
labsconded—Coroner's verdict—Wilful Murder.
