An affair of honour took place on Saturday, at

tween Messrs. SYKES and HOLSTEIN, two Officers from

Saturday se'nnight a farmer, named Thos.. Rich- j
ardson, was found burned to death in a lime kiln, at
Dryevers, in the parish of Crosby-Ravensworth. He
had been burning lime for his own land, and it is
supposed, had drawn a few cart loads from the bot-
tom, when the lime on the top of the kiln not falling
down as he expected—he ventured upon it and im-
mediately sunk amidst the whole mass, without the
possibility of extricating himself.
Thursday the stage-coach was overturned between

CORO;MR.3 INQuEsr.—Yesterday an Inquest was
held at the Feathers, Dean-street, Westminster, before
HUGH Lawn, Esq. Coroner, on the body of John
Hill, aged 15. It appeatzd in evidence that the de-
ceased was apprentice to Mr. Bond, boot-maker, of
Denmark-court, Strand, and oa Wednesday last re-
paired, with some of his companions, to the Thames,
by the side of Waterloo-bridge, to bathe; having
too high an opinion of his swimming, he plunged
into a very deep part of the River, although he was
advised not by his companions. He remained strug •
Kling in the water some time, and at length sunk ;
he rose again several times, a-.. 3 called out " Save
me, save me," but he was drowned, although every
assistance was afforded. Drags were used for a
length of time to no purpose ; his body was found
floating in a remote part of tht River on Saturday
last, and he was taken to the Workhouse.—Verdict,
Accidental Death.

Monday se'nnight an inquest was taken by Mr.
Tonu, at the parish of Widley, on the body of a new-
born female infant, which had been concealed under
the earth in a garden belonging to the poor house of
Widley, and which was discovered by its being drag-
ged from thence by a dog. The surgeon who exa-
mined the body stated that it appeared to have been-
full grown and born alive, that the skull was friC-
tured and other parts of the body vtry mach bruised,
which, he had no doubt, occasioned t! ‘e death of the
child. The Jury returned a verdict el wilful murder
against some person or persons at present unknown.
HORRID MURDER.—Tuesday se'nnight, Catherine
Paget; aged 40, was committed to Leicester jail on a
charge of having murdered her illegitimate child at
Rothetby on !Saturday se'nnight. This woman, it
seems, had long been supposed by her neighbours
to be pregnant ; on that account they watched her
conduct narrowly ; and on the evening of Saturday
se'nnight, observing that she was unwell, but wished
much to conceal it, tfleir suspicions became still
stronger by her shortly after retiring to her room,
the door of which she instantly locked. Next day,
however, in consequence of the offensive smell which
came from her room, the door was forced open by the
parish officers, when, horrid to relate, ttley found the
mangled remains of a niale child, divided into quar-
ters, three of which were in a bonnet-box under the
bed, and the other burnt to a cinder in the ash-hole.

MURDER OP A GAMEKEEPER.—A shocking mur-
der was discovered to have been committed on Sun-
day evening, at Epsom, on the person of a respectable
man, who has' or many years been in the situation
of Gamekeeper to TESSIER, Esq. the proprietor
of Woodcot Park, Epsom. This unfortunate man
was discovered by his fellow servants in the grounds,
a considerable distance from his master's mansion,
quite dead, and from the outward marks of violence
on the body, it was evident he had been deprived of
life by the mostbrntal and inhuman means ; for upon
examining round the neck, they found he had been
most barbarously strangled by placing a stick be-
tween his neck-kerchief and throat, and by twisting
it round until life was extinct. The actors -in this
dreadful tragic scene are supposed to be a gang of
poachers, who have for a con,iderable time com-
mitted depredations on the grounds in that neigh-
bourhood. The deceased had made himself very.
obnoxious by his zeal and attention to the inzerest 01
his master. Mr. Tesstea is in France at this time.
The servants, immediately upon discovering the
murder, sent information to a Magistrate at Epsom,
who visited several of his brother Magistrates, and
they used the most active means to discover the per-
petrators of the horrid crime. The Magistrates met
at a house at Epsom, and agreed to send an express
to the Magistrates at Union Hall, which arrived in
London by twelve o'clock on Sunday night. May
and Hall, the officers, were immediately sent down,
to endeavour to discover the murderers.

ATTEUPT TO MORDEft.—Yesterday afternoon a
report was circulated in Southwark, that an old man
wined Sullivan, had been murdered by his wife,
who is a native of Ireland. A great number of per-
sons assembled by the house in Mint-square, and
some officers were sent for ; they upon their arrival
found the old man with his head cut open, and in a
very dangerous situation. The wound was inflicted
with a hammer; she was secured and taken to the
watch-house. The old man fell on the ground in-
sensible when he received the blow ; he is 60 years
of age. The cause of the outrage is stated to be a
fit of jealot:sv. When she was in custody she pro-
tested that she would serve him so again if she was
at liberty.
