PITOSITION ON THE CHARITABLE.—We have to
record, as a, caution to the humane and benevolent
against similar frauds, the case of WiWant Henson,
who was convicted, last Friday, at Hicks's Hall, for
a fraud on the Bishop of Durham, in endeavouring
to obt:!in money under false pretences. 'He repre-
sented himself to be the brother of a poor woman,
'named Arden, whose husband had been killed in the
iron-mill belonging to Messrs. Wilkinson. and Co. at
Rotherhithe. Henson incla:.ed a petition to the Bishop
of Durham, with the names of several Noble Fami-
lies, and a certificate, signed by the Rector and
Churchwardens of the Parish of Rotherhithe. He
was convicted on the evidence of James Price, ser-
vant to the Bishop, who suspected it was .not a true
case, and accordingly applied to the Rector and
Churchwardens of that Parish, when he found the
certificate to be a forgery; and on Henson applying
for his answer, be had him secured by a Constable,
and taken before a Magistrate at Marlborough-street,
who committed him. Price received the thanks of
the whole Coutt, for having taken so much pains
to send such a character out of the country.

INouEs-rs.—Yesterday, an Inquest was held at the
Rose, Ratcliffe, on the body of It. L. Della, Mate a

and their being no marks of violence on the body,
the Jury returned a Verdict—Died by Apoplexy:
An Inquest was yesterday held at the Triumphant
Chariot, Pembroke-mews, on the body of S. Grange,
a coal-potter, who on Friday, while in a state of in-
toxication, was driving awaggon from Scotland-yard
to Kensington, and in attempting to get on the shaft
he fell, when he wheel passed over his thigh, and in-
jured him so much that he died in the Hospital ow
Sunday evening. Verdict—Accidental Death.
Another Inquest was held at the same place, on
the-body of J. Meadow: The deceased, eight years
old, had been on a visit_ to his uncle, in Queen-street,
Pimlico, and was left to mind the shop while the
family were at tea, when his pin-a-fore _caught the
flames, and he was burned so dreadfully that he ex-
pired in a short time. Verdict—Accidental Death. .
An Inquest was also held at the King's Head,
James-street, Buckingham-gate, on the body of J.
Mills, a painter, who died in consequence of his
trowsers, on which a quantity of turpentine had

An Inquest was-held at the King's Head, Ply-
mouth, on Saturday last, ou the body of W. Memo: y,
the Mate of the vessel belonging to- Brixham, who
died in consequence of a stab received in an affray
last week, in Castle-street. The Jury, after a long
and minute investigation, returned a verdict of Wil-
ful Murder against the Dutch seaman who inflicted
the wound.
Last week, a young man of the name of Arnold,
belonging to the Company of Dredgers, of Faver-
sham, went with three others, in a boat, for the pur-
pose of shooting wild fowl in the Swale. The de-
ceased was in the act of steering the boat, when a
sudden heel causing one of the
,guns to move froin
its place, it unfortunately went off, and lodged the
whole contents in his body. ':'he charge, (which was
two pipes of swan shot), entered just above the right
groin, and passing through the body, was only ::-
tamed by the skin on the opposite side. The de-
ceased languished in great pain for about twenty-
four hours before he expired.—Accidental Death.
A few days since, as some workmen were employed
on the roof of a house in the Kent-road, they acci-
dentally ,t fall a roll of sheet lead between the
rafters. The immense weight of the lead forced a
passage through the ceiling of the room beneath, and
it fell on a desk at which Mr. Williams (the master
of thehouse) was seated writing ; in its fall it knocked
off his hat, hut without doing him any injury. The
desk was entirely demolished.
MURDER.—A shocking circumstance occurred on
Monday in Angel-street, Manchester: An Irishrnan,
who, resided in the neighbourhood, went out of his
house with a loaded pistol, saying,.he was determined
to shoot some oxe before he returned. In Angel-
street, a woman was looking through an upstairs
window ; he deliberately took aim at her, and lodged
the contents of bis pistol in the head of the unfortu-
nate woman. She did not survive five mamns. Ca
the Police Officers arriving, he surrendered hitr.e
without any resistance, and is now in the New .
No motive has been stated for this inhuman mtirdt;.
