Early on Thursday morning, July 10th,
the coroner was called to view the body of
colored female, who had committed sui
eide by cutting her throat with "A razor, in
George street, near Plumb, Southwark 1t
appeared from the evidence which the
jury were enabled to obtain, that,
3" Jealousy, that green eyed monster,
" bat doth make the meat ii feeds on
had caused her TO rush unsummoned to the
bar of her creator.
The scene was appalling The walls
were stained with blood and the floor was
almost inundated. Some Of the members
of the inquest, were Obliged for a time, to
leave the room, being sickened at the pros
pect. The verdict of the inquest was
" That she committed suicide by cutting
her throat with razor" The instrument
of self destruction was found near the body
of the deceased-and it was proved in evi-
dence, that she had the day previous threa-
tened to make way with herself.

The following article is from the Mobile
Argus. Thus we find the people, look
where NE will, are alive to the contrariety
of political sentiment which has characte-
rlzrd Mr. Crawford, and express, accor-
DINGHY, their disgust at his course, which
IS heightened by the attempt To impose
hun upon the country as the only sound
and unde' hitting Republican the only real
Jefferson candidate.

But mark the vicar Of Bray, who lived
under so many 5ns Of conflicting princ-
pies, and would still be the vicar of Bray.
II was the same in America. The scene
changes-Adams goes out, and Jefferson
comes in. Tile federal administration il,
put down. Republicanism uiumphs. 1t
is HeH that our American vicar of BRAY,
becomes republican. Ii was Heu, AS his
good friend Mr.. Abbott testilics, and calls
upon another member To testify, that he
was not only an enemy to Mr.. Adams and
10 federalism, but ilaming republican
and not only republican but a red-hOi
Jacubln, the most dctestdile counterfeit oil
a republican thai political struggles eyercre-
ated. When public sentiment put Mr. a
dams down, the very same Mr.. Adams
that Mr. Crawford had euogised year be
l0re-the very man whose principles and
conduct remained the same, and who from
first TO last continued in the same honest
and Underwriting course, though as always
believed, a very mistaken one yet tn,
moment this president was put down, Mr.
Crawford IT seems was ready To cry on
cruelty him, cruelty him" What fair
weather sailor is this man He has al
ways been anxious TO float with the tide
and his cruel friends seem equally anxious
to float him down with the tide, to tn,
great ocean of disgrace and oblivion.
But will they float with him No: no
if they can help it. Not they. II they
were to do it, the principles and practise o
their master would laugh them to scorn,"

More curious fossils The teeth found
under ground in Georgia, and brought to
Dr. Mitchell, by A. NJ. Taylor, esq rank
among the most rare and singular of the
organic remains that have been dsnterred
in our country. They differ from every
thing the kind contained in our museums,
or described in the books. 1t is expected
that measures will be taken to procure,
without delay, from the proprietor of the
estate where these pieces were procured,
and where the remainder of the huge ske-
Teton lies, all that has escaped decay and
putrefacton. From the specimens under

the creature was an inhabltant belonging to
