DEATH. —A shocking state of immorality and destitution existing in Bloomsbury was brought to light on Saturday at an inquest held by Dr. Lankeater on the body of Anne.liall, aged 21 years. The unfortunate deceased lived with a man named Charles Allen, at No. n, Russell-place, Little Coram-street, Bloomsbury, and it appeared from the evidence that both parties had lived with each other as man and wife since they were a little over 10 years of age. Four year* ago the deceased was delivered of a child in the SL Gibes Workhouse, and about a fortnight since she gave birth to a child, being unattended by doctor or midwife. Immediately after her illness the deceased got out of bed, and, without shoe or stocking, went downsteirs to a wet cellar, in which she washed her child's clothes. Having been taken ill. Dr. Barrett, medical officer of the St. Giles's Workhouse, was sent for, and in his evidence he thus described the state in which he found the unhappy woman:—" When I saw the deceased on Monday, I found her in a most fearful state of destitution. There was not a table in the room, or a chair, or a substitute for a chair. She was lying, dressed in rags, on a bed which was literally a bundle of rags. She was very bad, and I asked her to go into the workhouse, but she would not do so. There was not a morsel of firing in the room, nor anything to conduce to the comfort of the deceased. On the Tuesday she was take. in to the workhouse, and died in two and a half hours after her admisdon," A neighbour, named Mary Anne Norris, said that the deceased stated, when asked to go into the workhouse, that she would rather die than enter it. The coroner said the case seemed tobe one almost of suicide, because here was a woman who actually died from want of that care and attention which she could have had, but which she refused to avail herself of. The jury returned a verdict, in accordance with the medical testimony, to the effect that the deceased died from inflammation of the lungs, brought on by the deceased exposing herself after her confinement, and that her death was accelerated by want of proper care and attendance.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2.  A ,rnetALLy constituted criminal court at Brussels has been occupied for more than a week  past with an inquiry into a very remarkable case. lta chief interest turns on the (itiestion whether a death was suicide or murder, but it is not the less interesting to us from the fact that, though the tragedy was enacted at Antwerp, the actors were both sul]ects of this country. The (1. ceased was a bon! Englishman, of the name of the son of a lAAIy who was thrice married, and who died a few years ago, leaving property of the value of 25,000;. The accused was her husband, and to  Lim she had by will left, the whole of her estate. By her marriage settlement, however, she had previously given a sum of 5,00(m'. to READILY, in the event of his attaining majority, but it was to  revert to the Itushand in case he should die under  age. This Imskind was a native of the Lebanon, by name liEOKI;E HABKEB RISK ALLAH, who had in England studied for the medical profession, became naturalised, duly graduated as surgeon,  served for some time in the Turkish medical service in tlF.t Crimea, was afterwards attached to the Ottoman embassy in London, and received several decorations and the title of Iley. After the death of his wife, Riss At.tan, as trostee of the 5,000/. settled on his stepsn, was authorised by the Court of Chancery to draw 130/. a year of the interest for the young man's education and maintenance. They travelled much together, and were on exceihmt terms. but it seemed that the youth incurred expenses beyond the amount ..f his allowance, and lttsx ALLAH, advancing him money, in cured his life for a considerable sum. His  jority would have arrived on the 29th of July. 1865. But in the spring of that year he fell in love with a young English lady at Spa, and though at first accepted he was ultimately rejected by her family, on the ground of being subject to epileptic fits. Refusing to accept his fate from any one Lunt the lady herself, ho received in the middle of March, while staying with his stepfather at an hotel in Antwerp, a letter from her confirming the decision of her family. This greatly affected him, and in his reply he said, " There are " many honourable ways of speedy death." Soon after he fell ill, and was attended by
