she knew nothing of the latter since she left her 110:1,..
She saw her on Thursday evening, when she came to her
about some household matters, and that was the last tine.
The girl was very obliging in disposition; and she (Mr..
Bliss) had never anv reason to suspect her of the slizlttust
impropriety of conduct, except that upon one occasion 1
short time ago her mother found a piece of paper on the
ground, close to Colonel L's. door, on which WAS written
is the handwriting of her daughter —" I sigh, but am not
relieved.—Emily." She had no other reason for suppos-
ing that Colonel L. knew any thing of the child. Ai a
proof that she (Mrs. lilies) could have no intet tion of doime
wrong with the child, she pressed Mrs. White to Like her
with her to Chatham.
Mrs. White declared that this was wholly untrue. She
could not take her daughter without exposing the situa-
tion of her father. The slip of paper she fount in her
daughter's bonnet, and she was sure it was wri'ten in allu-
sion to her father. She was a very sensitive girl.
Mrs. Bliss's maid servant was examined, and said that
on Thursday evening Mrs. White's daughter was in as
rod spirits as usual, and that !Baying answered the draw.
ing-room bell, she returned to the kitchen, and ordered
" tea and dry toast." After that she was not :Tea in ih ,
house, nor did any one know in what way she left it.
Colonel L— gave Mrs. White and witness two sove-
reigns each. He gave it for himself and the rest of the
gentlemen.
Mrs. Bliss being again questioned, said that Colonel
L— was out on that evening, but returned at Lis usual
hoer.
The investigation had now lasted several hones, without
any light being thrown upon the disappearance of the girl,
and

Mr. Mitstalll3.l. said, the only resource left was, to set
some intelligent officers upon the task of endeavouring to
find out her retreat. Ellis, Blackman, and others, were
sent away instantly, and it was in a abort time ascertained
that else was in a house in Villiers Street, Strand. Mae-
m 3n went to the house, where he found that his informotion
was correct; bat the girl had retreated to a room and
locked herself in, and she was silent to all his demands for
admission. He at length burst the door with his foot, and
brought the unhappy child away, and in the evening
she was examined before Mr. Minshull. She is extremely
tall for her age, has a fresh colour, beautiful complexion,
and remarkably fine face. She sobbed aloud upou bI ig
questioned. and it was with the utmost difficulty that a
single answer could be extracted from her. At length she
admitted that she went away wits► a gentleman, hut here
she again stopped, and it was not until the question had
been repeated more than fifty times, that she was presailed
upon to name hinn She did, however, finally name him,
and related other circumstances, which it would be e-
trernely improper to mention at present. it is sufficient t
say, that upon her information a warrant was issued for
a very serious offence, and the officer desired to apprehend
him as soon as possible. The officer went previously to the
gentleman's lodgings, but he was not at home.
Mrs. Bliss was set at liberty, upon au undertaking being
given for her appesrance on a future day, and the girl was
placed under the protection of her mother.
BIR.MACQUEEN'SROBBERY.—At the above office the three
brothers, William, Joseph, and James Thomson, who are
in custody on suspicion of having stolen a large quantity
of jewels, &c. in the house of T. P. ►facqueen, Esq. of
Palk-lane, were brought up from Totbill•felds Bridewell,
for further examination at this office on Saturday; but re-
manded until Wednesday next upon the application of the
prosecutor, and by the consent of their own solicitor,
without any further evidence having been adduced.—We
understand, that since the last examination, the officers
have discovered an embroidered shawl, and some other
articles, but the great bulk of the property stolen, still
remains concealed.

Surans.—On Saturday, a Coroner's Inquest was held on
the body of Mr. John Wade, of the firm of Wade and Wit-
son, mercers and haberdashers, Hanway-street, Oxford
street, who put a period to Isisexistence on Thursday night
last, at his private house, No.ll, Fitzroy-street, by cutting
his throat with a pen-knife. Among other witnesses exa-
mined were the following:— - - -

Mr. Wilson, of No. 9, Hanwarstreet, deposed that be
was in partnership with the deceased, who latterly, at
times, was perfectly delirious. His nephew's affairs pre%-
ed much on his mind. Although he had lost about 1d$)1.
by his failure, that could not make any material alteration
in his property, as he was a man of considerable fortunr.
The money which he lost by the nephew had been mil-
dered as lost two years ago. He had nine nephews and
nieces, and was a bachelor. He was about 60 years of ago.
One of his nephews resided in the house with him at No.
11, Lower Fitzroy-street, hut not the one whose affairs had
distressed him so much. The deceased had laboured under
an astlimatical complaint many years, and was in an en-
feebled state of body. Within the last ten days he had ex-
hibited strong marks of derangement. When witness was
acquait,ted by Mr. Bartleymore, a surgeon, of some cir-
cumstances, respecting the deceased, be thought it neces-
sary to make the housekeeper acquainted with the peculiar
state of the deceased's mind, and he believed that the ra-
zors were taken away from him; certainly they were once
removed out of his way. There could be no doubt but the
deceased had committed the act with his own hand.
Mr. Eyre, a surgeon, residing in London-street, Fitzroy-
square, deposed, that, on Thursday night last, he was sud-
denly called to attend the deceased, of whom he had n.a
previous knowledge, and found him in bed with a kilo
clenched in his hand, and a deep wound, which divided the
artery on each side of the throat, either of which was al
te
sufficient to produce death ; the bed was covered with
blood, and the deceased, although not cold, was totally be-
yond surgical assistance.
The mental derangement of the deceased was cleanly
proved, and the Jury, without hesitation, concurred,
returned a verdict—" That the deceased put a p
e
his existence by cutting his throat with a penknife, being
at the time in a ut.fLoll_selt ade range ." riodi to
