MURDER OF AN INFAN I: AT FULHAM.

Yesterday morning the village of Fulham and its vici-
nity was thrown into the greatest state of consternation
and alarm, in consequence of a tine little boy, appa-
rently about a month old, having been discarded by a
constable lying in one of the numerous hro"ks with
which that neiglibout hood abounds. The body of the
child was totted under tl e most suspicious circumstances
by Levicke, the constable of the parish, who was at-
tracted by curiosity to the spot, seeing a young female
traver.ing the b .nks (.1 the stream in a wild, and dis.
ordered state. His suspicions being aroused that borne
thing was the matter, he question,d hrr with respect to
her object in being in such a li,nely place, and inquired
if she had lost anything ? to which she replied in the
negative. Levicke nit being satisfied with her answer.
determined to endeavour to sift the matter to the bot-
tom, if po-sible, ar d shortly after discovered a fine male
infant, in a state of nuditl, in the brook. He iestantiy
charged the female with being the destroyer of the in-
fant, whin she denied. He however felt it his duty to
take her into custody; and, on coaveying her to the
watch-house, she endeavoured to make her escape, bn
was so. n overtaken. The alarm hying spread in the
neighbourhood, that an infant had been inhumanly
mui dered, hundreds of persons soon assembled, the pi in-
cipal part of which were females, and the body being
taken out of the water, it was conveyed to the White
Noise public house, at Parson's Green, when, on exa-
mination, it was discovered - that there were several
marks of violence on the head and face. On further
starch by the inhabitants, the clothes of the poOr child
were found in a Gentlenian's garden close to the fence,
and* are supposed to have been thrown over by the %se-
nators' mother. The female eas taken to the work-
hoots., and on beig interrogated, she said she was a
native of Ireland, and gave several incoherent answers
as to her plade of abode. She declated that the child
did not belong to her, but confessed that she had been
deliveted of a child in London about six weeks ago,
Which died in a few days. This explanation being
deemed Unsatisfactory, as several persons voluntarily
came forward to prove that they had seen the accused
walking with an infant in her arms on the previous
evening near the spot where the body of the child was
discovered, she was detained in custody to await the
decision of the Colones's Inquest.

• DREADFUL CALAMITY
AT TILE NEW BRUNSWICK THEATRE

The crowds were not so great yesterday about the
barriers as on the former days. The labourers com•
menced removing the rubbish at break of day, and the
erection of the scaffolding at the south wall was pro.
(ceded wish. In the course of the afternoon the scaf-
folding was finished, and the we's krnen commenced
tatting down the wall with great caution; the bricks
were removed in. baskets. When the men left off at
dusk, about a foot and a half of the wall was taken
down. As much as will be necessary for the public
safety was removed this day. The rubbish at the bot-
tom of the geometrical staircase, and also in the box
lobbies, was completely removed. The ruins have been
now thoroughly turned over, and all apprehensions re-
specting, the loss ef more lives is at an end. Lord and
Lady Bathurst attended yesterday morning at an early
hour, to view the ruins.
The Duke of Devon4iire sent lOW. tothe Lord Mayor
in the course of the day, as his Grace's subscription to-
wards the- fund for the relief of the sufferers. The
Lord Mayor received, at the same time, 101. from an
anonymous correspondent, for the same benevolent pur-
pose. Hcr Grace the Duchess of BeJford has scot 10/.
to Mr. W. Farien, of Covent. Garden, accompanied by
a letter expressing .her unfeigned regret at the melan-
choly occurreoce that ha? taktor place, and hoping that
a sttbscription wci sld be. set, on foot for the relief of
.those. who have been left. dgstitute.
A very s.rongleeling, pervades every class in society
on this occasions and the rkansple 01 those distinguished
indiviittAls, who have already contributed so. liberally

Creatures, will no doubt tse followed up. The buke of
St. Albans has been amongst the foremost. His Graxe;
in the most unassuming _manner, made • inquiries on
Sunday as to the extent of the ir:e:ancholy accident, and
particularly respecting the f amity of Findlay, the scene•
painter, and also that of Jesse Miles. The address of
Findlay, a:4l of Miles's widow, was given to the Duke

London Hospital, to escape observation;. and hoping
inquired of Mr. Williams, the House Surgeon, after the
,tote of the sufferers under his ewe, hir Grace said he did
not wish to deviate froin the ter ulations of the Hospi•
tal, and if he cou!cl not be permitted to see them, he
would leave with M . Williams a purse of •sovereigns,
to be distributed amongst them according to his dis•
cietion. The House Surgeon, having been informed
of the rank of his visitor, and the object of his visit,
gave the Duke every information upon the subject, and
accompanied him into the ward where the men were,
and also to the females ward. His Grace, with ade
licacy worthy of his rank, dist! ibuted 441. amongst them.
To those who were married, and had families, he gave
five sovereigns each; and. to those who 'vete not mu-
tied, he gave three sovereigns each. Mrs. Shaw got
three sovereigns, her husband not being disabled ; Sa-
rah Foster, 31. Stephen Spencer, 51. Joseph Blamire, 51.
Henry Clarke, 51. Miss Roberts, 51. James Hedges, 51.
Miss Harris, 51. the widow of Moses Miles, 51. and 31
each to the rest. Oneof the• sufferers, of the name r f
John Abbott, whose leg was fractured and afterwards
amputated, did not, through some mistake, participate
in his Grace's bounty. This poor man has, a wife and
six children, ssho,uere totally dependent upon his exet-
(ions. When he was taken to the hospital, he was removi d
to one of the wards in the upper part of the house,to which
bad cases are nsually taken. His case is a hopeless one.
As soon, as his Grace,leit the hospital, he proceeded to the
residence of the widow of Jesse Miles, in Coburg-street,
