TRIUMPH.OF CONCILIATION.

It is impossible • for us adequately to convey by
words the delight we feel, in making the following
communication public. From what we have already
saisl—from the state of feverish anxiety into which,
for the last week, the City of Dublin has been thrown,
by the avowed intention• of decorating the Statue of
King William. in College-green, our Readers in the
luterior may have some idea of the feelings and appre-
hensions of the Citizens of Dublin. Thank God!
these feelings have been tranquillized—these appre-
hensions have been removed. The letter of the Lord
Mayor, and the Resolutions unanimously passed by the
Board of Aldermen, have done more, and will do
more, to corroborate and confirm those sentiments
of cordiality recommended by the King, than any
circumstances which has occurred since his Majesty's
departure. It is the first overt act—it is the first proof
the public have Lad of their sincerity. We hail it
with satisfaction, and shall take care that the merits
of the parties shall be known in every part of the Em-
pire —(Dublin Even. Post.)
At a ineeting.of the Board of Magistrates, held this

Chair. Present, Aldermen Sir A. B. King, Exabaw,
Archer, Sir W. Stainer, Cash. Sir R. Shaw, Mtlienne,

Rev. Dr. Towne. 183.—Majority for the Rev. T. Mor-

Love AND MA uness.—An inquisition was taken
yesterday before Joho Wright Unwin, Esq. at the
Grove Morris, Whitechapel-road, on the body of Ann
Moore, aged 45, whose death was caused by her hav-
ing drank a quantity of laudanum. The deceased was
a spinster residing in New Court, Thomas•street,
Whitechapel, and some time back received the ad-
dresses of a Mr. H. residing in the neighbourhood,
of whom she became warmly enamoured, until she dis-
covered that he bad a wife and family. From that
time, however, she was reusarked to be in a despond-
ing state ; and on Friday night complained of indis-
position, which encreased to an alarming degree, until
Saturday forenoon, when death put an end to her mi-
series. A surgeon who attended her was of opioion,
that her death was canoed by her having drank a large
quantity of laudanum ; she was not observed to drink
the fatal dose, nor could it be accounted how she came
by it. After her decease a letter was found in her
pocket, which it was conjectured she had written on
the day previous to her melancholy dissolution, and
from Which we disseminate the following abstract :
" Dear Mr. IL—My mind has never been settled since
I first because acquainted with you; and now requestyou
will pay the last tribute of respect by attending the mor-
tal remains to its mother earth of her who now perishes
for your sake, and once considered herself dear to you.
Theexpectation of your complying wills the above request,
gives me every hope that I shall yield up the debt of na-
ture with as little inconvenience as I can reasonably ex-
pect. The near approach of my dissolution requires
me to bring my epistle to a close ; and 1 now subscribe
=pelf, your admirer but shortly to be
"ANN MOORE."
The Coroner briefly recapitulated the evidence ; and
the Jury, after some little deliberation, returned a ver-1
diet "That the deceased put a period to her existence
by drinking a quantity of laudanum, being at that
time in a state of temporary mental derangement.
Sunday morning, the store in which the flour in
Brixton House of Correction is deposited, was, for the
second time, robbed by some of the incorrigible thieves
who have been removed thither from the public streets.
One of the turnkeys found that two or three bushels
had been taken out of a sack, and immediately made
inquiry amongst some of the most notorious mII
char-
ten upon the subject. They all determined not to
" split," and declared upon their honour they knew I
nothing at all about it. The managers of the prison,
however, were resolved to help the recollection of this
worthy association, and accordingly took all the Wei
from under them, with an assurance that the harol
boards were the best remedy is the world for loss of
memory upon such an occasion. The experiment
proved that the ntawagen knew with whom they had
to deal. The thieves at first became noisy, in the
hope that by terrifying the whole neighbourhood.
they would oblige those who exercised such power
over them, to remit their punishment. When, how-
ever, they found that no bed was to be had without
a breoek of kusuor, they yielded to the call of nature,
and betrayed those who stole %Wont. The delis-
qaents are to be brought up forposiobroest.
