These Jitue works are evidently intended to be useful , and they are well calculated to answer the end designed , and to be safe gaides to visitors , such as visitors of bul limited information-would naturally desire . They have a merit which catalogues , even when pnt forth by authority , do not always possess - , that of accuracy . Much pains has been taken by the Editor , more especially in the National Gallery , on this point ; and it is much to the credit of the Trustees that they have permitted it to be sold at ihe entrance to that collection- Some of the names of the paintings are accompanied with appropriate cotes . This gives additional valne to tbe Guide , and Tre hope that a airqily plan Trill be adopted in future editions of th 8 others , is it would enhance materially their value as guide books to the public .

UNITED STATES . By the arrival of the Arcadia , which came to anchor in the Mersey , last Saturday morniiig , important intelligence is received relative to the boundary question , which is believed now to be finally settled . The National Intelligeneer of the 20 th nit . has the following remarks on the negotiation : —** Lojd Ashburton is believed to have held out long for the entire Madawaska settlement . Bat the Maine commissioners are said to have been as immovable as any four pine stumps on the disputed territory . So Maine , under the arrangement , goe 3 to the liver
St . John's . It is not unlikely , we learn , that the line which the Dutch arbiter decided for , the line of the St . John ' s and the St . Franci 3 ,-will be agreed to . But then Maine gets what the Dutch king did not give her , the navigation of the river j and this trebles the valne of all her tall pine trees . West--srardly of the St . Francis , England takes a tract of mountain land , ddtimbered , and of no earthly value but as a boundary ; and she relinquishes to the United State Rouse ' s-pointj the key of Lake Champlain , and a large territory heretofore supposed to belong to New York and Vermont , but ¦ which turns out to lie north of the 45 th degree of latitude , and is therefore a part of Canada , it is said to be , and
probably is , in consequence of this cession , that the United States Government agrees to pay a sum to each of the States of Maine and Massachusetts for the acres they have parted vrith ; not more than a quarter as much , however , as General Jackson offered to give to Maine alone , daring his administration in the year 1832 . It ia thought there are questions of boundary further up , as the secretary of state has summoned here the commissioners , &c . ¦ who ran the line , or endeavoured to do so , under fee treaty of Ghent ( bat could not always agree ) , from the river of St , Lawrence to the Lake of Woods ; and it is supposed that all remaining questions , in that far-off world , will be settled . "
The Weekly Heraldot the 30 A says— " We have « c « ved . highly important intelligence from Washington , indicating that the new treaty with England iwil probably be rejected at the senate ot the United ¦ States , ad that the whole of our commercial retains with tliat power will fee thrown open to the winds of the wide ocean .

We are informed , on what we eonoeivetobeoompetenia * ftoxity , that fee nlfcras of the senate will form a coalition , and reject tke treaty by a very considerable majority . This treaty , a will be recollected , is nearly the same which grew out # f the award of the King of the Netherlands . If shere is any difference , the terms are not deemed so favourable as that was . That treaty was rejected » y the wants during the preiideney of General J ackion—the Whig party , then in the minority Being the principal opponente of its passage . " We

ar&now informed , positively , that the democratic senators—particularly those in favour of Mr . Van Buren—are already out in opposition to the treaty , denouncing it as anti-national and anti-American . Mr . Silas Wright and Mr . Buchannan are probably both of this opinion . On the other side , it is also stated that Mr . Maogum , and those who act with him , intend to assume a similar position . A caucus or consultation was , however , to oe held on Monday , to determine what line of conduct they would adopt . The chances were that the Ultra-Whigs would assume the same ground * as the Ultra-Locofocos had , and that the treaty would be rejected by a large vote . This intelligence may be' relied upon . It 1 b obvious , therefore , that our relations with England are in a more ticklish condition than they hare been for a quarter of a century past . We are assured that on the rejection of the treaty , Lord Ashburton will immediately return home in the Warspite , and Mr . Fox will demand his passports and folloFr him . "

Quid pbo Qjjo . —An Englishman on lac ding at Calais , called for a barber . One was speedily in attendance , and the traveller thns addressed aim "My dear fellow , I am extremely sensitive in the matter of the beard ; here . is a guinea if you shave me without cutting ; there is a pair of pistols ; if you cut me , I will send tho contents through your brain on the instant . " " Fear not , " said the barber , and away he went to work with the utmost care , circum » spection , aud delicacy of operation . The task being completed , the enchanted Englishmen observed , "You were not afraid of the pistola then . " " No , my lord . " "And why ? " "Because , " replied the barber , "if I had been unlucky enough to make a slip , I would have cut your throat . "
At Welis A 8 size 3 , last week , the Reverend Thos . John ^ Theobald , Rector of Nunney , was tried for two criminal assaults on Caroline Dornis , a housemaid it the Rectory . The prosecutrix described the assaults as having taken place , the ooe in Mr . Theobald ' s dressing-room , where she went to take some hot water one morning , and tbe other at night in her own bed-room , vrnieh she had been provided with at the defendant's special desire apart from the cook . She did not tell Mrs . Theobald , who was
very near her confinement ; but she told the cook and her aunt of the first assault , who advised her soi to ° leave her p ! aee , as Mr . Theobald promised not to repeat the offence . She left the house on the morning following the second attack , and told her aunt . Cross-examination drew from tho prosecutrix that she had some time back admitted one Piper to the closest intimacy ; and before Mr . Cockburn had concluded his address for the defence , or called evidence , the Jury interrupted the trial andaequitted the prisoner .
Re-Assembling of P ^ kuamknt . —We have heard a rumour that it is the intention of ministers to reassemble Parliament in a short time , in order to pass a Coercion Act for the manufacturing districts . We notice the rumour , to express our entire and complete disbelief in it . Though the manufacturing population have ceased to labour , and in many cases have forced others to cease from labonr , the actual outrages committed by them , taking all circumstances into consideration , have not been of an aggravated character . With the exception of their
conflict with the police at Manchester , they have caused no deaths , and itflicted no wounds . They have broken windows , and in the Potteries have burned down bouses ; but for these offences , particularly the latter , which is a heinous crime , the law already provides . Additional penal laws , or a Coercion Act , might exasperate the peopje , but could not prevent offences , and would injure trade . It would go far to reduce the manufacturing distriots to the condition of Ireland . Such a policy would be , indeed fatal , and we gi ? e the rumour that Sir R . Peel intends to adopt it-an emphatic denial . —Sun .
Impcbest Robbery by a dashingly dbessed Femalk . —Cautios to Tbadesmes . —On Saturday , information was giren at the different police stationhouses of a most impudent robbery committed on the preceding evening by a dashingly-dressed female . It appears that on Friday evening a carriage drove up to-ihe shop door of Mr , John Metcalf , jeweller , Pall-maU , out of which a fashionably-dressed female , about thirty yeaTS of age , alighted , and entered the shop . She spoke in a mixture of French and Eaglish , " and requested to be shown some diamotd rings . A variety were placed before her , out of which she selected four , of a half-heop puttern , the value of which was £ 1 W . She then represented herself as the wife of Count De Morel ,
private secretary to the French Ambassador , and desired that the rings with a bill should bo sent to the house No . 39 , Albion-street , Hyde Park , at half-past seven o ' clock , when the amount of the latter would be paid . The ring 3 were sent at the time named , and the Countess , who it appears took care to be close to the door , informed the shopman that she wished to show them to a lady in the house . The shopman , having no suspicion in the matter , readily consented to her wish ; but the Countess' no sooner got hold of the valuables than she " bolted , " and the shopman , to his great consternation , found tha . 1 she had only taken a lodging in the house on the Bame morning , and he was obliged to return home minus the rings or their jalue ..
: Murder at Swansea . —On Tuesday morning last , the town of Swansea was thrown into a state of very great excitement , in consequence of a report that a poor Irishman , named John Bowling , had been murdered in cold blood early that morning by some five men . It appeared by the evidence adduced on the coroner ' s inquest , that a quarrel had taken place early on Tuesday morning between some Irish women , who lived in the same court as the deceased . The fire men charged with tbe orime were attracted to the spot by the noise . Soon after those men attempted to take indecent liberties with the women—spoke of their intention of passing the night with them , which conduct some of the Irishmen resented . Blows ensued , and the Irishmen were worsted , and two of them beaten dangerously . Soon after , the deceased , John BowliDg entered the
court , and said , ** What is all this noise about V -when the five men said , "We will soon let you know , you Irish ; " and with that he was cut down with a hatchet , and fell dead at once . After he had fallen he was kicked and stabbed repeatedly , and his wife , in attempting to save him , received very dangerous injuries . An inquest was held on Tuesday , and adjourned to Wednesday , for the purpose of receiving further evidence j but , from the evidence already produced , there cannot be the slightest doubt of the guilt of the five men , as all equally participated in the destruction , of the unfortunate deceased . Another Irishman who ran to his assistance was so seTerely kicked , that no hopes are entertained of hi 3 recovery . The police were most active , and apprehended all the prisoners in the course of tho
morning . Extensive Forgeries by the Vestry Clerk of St . Lcke , Middlesex . —Considerable consternation prevails * among the rate-payers of the parish of St . Luke , Middlesex , in consequence of the discovery that Mr . Joseph Burton , who fur above fonx years has beea vestry clerk , and has also occupied the situation of clerk to the trustees , had committed forgeries on the treasurer by means of forged checks , to an amount between £ 3 , 000 aad £ 4 , 000 . About a momh ago he asked permission of the board of trustees to be allowed leave of absence for a few days , with his family . The board granted him a week , when he went out of town , as was supposed to Ramsgate or Margate , and left his son , who was his
assistant ^ to transact his business during his absence . Last Monday , as he was some days beyond his time , that being baatd-d ; y , it was discovered that a forgery had been committed through i he means of the banker ' s cheques , to which the names of persons alleged to be trustees were attached , but who did not belong to the board . It is the practice when a cheque is drawn ontv for two of the trustees to affix their signaturea to it , when it is countersigned by their clerk . An inquiry was in consequence made as the banker ? , Messrs . Maatcrman and Co ., to ascertain howthesignaturesoJ ' asBumeatrustees could have succeededin having cheques cashed , when in the list of trustees which isforwarded to the bankers such names were not-included , as having been those of such persons
who were returned at the antecedent Easter election , when it was found , to the surprise of the trustees , that the names had been transmitted to the banker . It was then discovered that , in addition to the autofraphs , which had been sent to the bankers after the aster ele Hion of trustees , and which is always done subsequent to an election , the clerk had added the autographs of three imaginary trustees , and that in defrauding the parish he had made use of these fictitious names for that purpose . From that time to the day on which their clerk absconded , not the slightest Bnspicion was raised that he was acting dishonestly to the board . As far as has been ascertained , above £ 8 , 000 has been obtained by means of these forged checks , from the bankers , and which it ia belieyed haa b « en entirely changed for gold at the bank , as .
for a fortnight previous to the 5 th rast ., Le was in the habit of sending » person there with notea , for which the person bronght back gold . In one day twenty £ 10 notes were so exchanged . Application was made on Friday to the Lord Mayor , at the Mansion house for a warrant to apprehend him , and which would be placed in the hands of tbe Forresters , v It is supposed that he has gone with his family » which consists of Ms wife , a son , and four daughters to America . The trustees have offered £ 200 reward for his apprehension . A few weeks ago Reid , who vras one . of the beadles of St . Luke ' s , and who was previously a serjeant of the G division , suddenly absconded , when it was discovered that he bad been borrowing money of various tradesmen in the parish , in 8 um 8 varying from £ 10 to £ 50 .

Thb Murder at Hiqhboby . —On Friday it was ordered by government that Mra . Daly , the widow of Timothy Daly , the murdered policeman , should be paid £ 450 from the treasury . Mott , the baker , who was wounded , £ 50 , and Moss the policeman , 420 . The two latter persons are perfectly recovered , and are now at their usual vocations . Mosa 18 performing duty in the N division . > Thb trial op Mrs . Byrne , for the murder pf her husband , closed on Monday , after lasting two days . The body was found in Mr . Byrne ' s bed , in a state of great decomposition . Several medical witnesses
were examined , the general tenour of whose evidence was , that the appearance of the body indioated death by strangulation , but not with sufficient certainty to induce conviotion . The arguments for the defence were , that death must have been produced by apoplexy or epilepsy , the result of excessive intoxication ; and that Mrs . Byrne must have partaken of the , intoxicating drinks to such an extent aa to be unconscious of what was passing around her . The Jury returned a verdict of " Not Guilty , " which the prisoner heard with the same indifference that she had manifested throughout the trial .
A Labouring man was discovered last week in the footman ' s waiting hall at Windsor Castle . He had been lying for an hour on a bench near a staircase leading to the suite of private apartments and the Royal nursery . He was taken before the Earl of Liverpool , Lord Steward of the Household ; to whose interrogatories he replied , that he had that day walked thirty miles , and comuto Windsor Castle for his pension , and that he had followed a pot-boy into the Caetle . When he was about to be removed , he made a slight resistance , saying , " I ' ve now got into good quarters , and here I'll stay for tho night . "
He was , however , taken to the Station-house ; andon Tuesday to London , where he was examined at the Home Office , before Mr . Hall , the Police Magistrate . He proved to be Thomas Quested , a native of Maidstone , who has an insane idea that he is "Lord Godolphin d' Arcy" ; and he had gone simply to ask the Queen to reinstate him in his " rights . " He has a mad sister ; and medical examination has put his insanity beyond a doubt . On Thursday , he was a ^ ain examined and was committed to Bethlehem Hospital under the Home Secretary ' s warrant , there to remain during the pleasure of the Grown .
At the Gloucester Assizes , William Dwyer , Jeremiah Dwyer , and Charles Dwser , ( three brothers , ) James Regan , Patrick Donovan , and Dennis Calhghan , were tried for the murder of Roberts , tho Policeman . Vtry early on the morning qf the 19 th of June , some of the men were found by Roberts and another Policeman quarreling , and raising a disturbance in St . Jamos's Back , Bristol . In leading them off to the Station-house , Roberta was attacked by the Dwyers : Charles Dwyer 6 + ruck him on the
head and kicked him very brutally ; and he died in consequence of the injuries within eight and forty hours . The Jury returneda verdict of " Manslaughter "against Charles Dwyer , William Dwyer , and Regan ; acquitting tho other throe prisoners , and accompanying their verdict with a recommendation to mercy , on tho ground that it appeared to them that iskidner , the other Policeman , struck the first blow . Charles Dwyer was sentenced to transportation for life ; and Regan and William Dwyer to ten years' transportation .
At Bow Street , on Wednesday and Thursday , several persons were charged with bearing or exposing at their doors placards couched in " inflammatory" language , and announcing meetings to be held on Tuesday and Thursday at Stepney Groen aud Islington . Tbe bearers pleaded poverty , and ignorance or inattention to the nature of tho placards : two of them could not read . They were let off under their own recogmz mces to keep the peace or to appear in answer to any future charge . Craven , a coal shed-keeper , in St . Pancras , said that the placard had been hung at his door at the request of a customer , while he was out ; and he promised to take h down . Tho case was dismissed . Jeansj a hairdresser , in Snow ' s Fields , Southwark , had also exhibited the placed at his door to oblige a customer ; but he vindicated his right to do so , and refused to remove it : and he was ordered to find two sureties under pi nalues of . £ 20 each , that he would answer any charge at the Central Criminal Court .
Temperance . —The advantage of the spread of tcetotalism in Ireland are strikingly illustrated in the improved condition of many of xhe agricultural labourers who annually visit England at this period of 1 he year compared with the wretched state in which all for many years appeared , with rags barely sufficient to cover them , and their pallid looks indicating their love of ardent drink . Articles of grocery were rarely needed ; but now coffee and sugar have supplanted gin and whisky . This pleaMDg alteration forced itself upon the notice of the principal tea-dealer in Boston , to whose shop multitudes of the sons of Erin have applied for the useful articles he vends , and a few days since one man purchased lor himself and comrades thirty five packages of coffee and sugar at one time . —Bravo , Father Mathew and Teetdtalism!—Lincoln Mercury .
The Assize Court at Devises was occupied on Wednesday and Thursday , with an action for breach of promise of marriage , brought by Miss Rooko , aged twenty-six , the daughter of a tradesman ad Salisbury , against Mr . Conway a haie widower of sixty-sevon . Miss Rooke passed eleven months at Mr , Conway ' s house in 1839 , ostensibly on a visit to the daughter ; aud in that time Ihe host " gained her affections . " He went so far as to sit on the sain © sofa with his arm round her waist , to walk with her morning and evening , and to correspond by letter ; wording his effusions cautiously ,. however , and using a feigned name . He was proved to be worth £ 2 , 000 , or £ 3 , 000 . The Jury gave a verdict for the pl&inuff , who one farthing damages .
Father Mathew in Glasgow—On Wednesday a serious accident occurred in tbe Cattle Market , during the time Tather Mathew was administering the teetotal pledge . Threa Jads , the better to view the proceedings , had mounted upon a chimney slack built of brick , but the weight was too heavy , and the stack gave way , whereby the whole three were thrown to the ground , the bricks and rubbish falling upon them , and we regret to say that one of them has lost his life . Tho other two were very severely bruised , but not bo dangerously but that hopes are entertained for their recovery . Father Mathew has been engaged the entire day in the Cattle Market , pledging and confirming the thousands who have flicked 19 his standard from all quarters . —Glasgow Chronicle .
Suicide . —Shortly after four o clock on Saturday morning , as a ballast engine was convoying some policemen and excavators along the Eastern Counties Kailroad from the terminus at Shoreditch to Stratford , they noticed what appeared to them a man sitting against the pailinga which divided the line from the Old Ford-road , Bow , apparently asleep . Thfy , thinking it a very dangerous place for a person to be , particularly at that time of the morning , immediately stopped the engine and reversed it ; and on coming to the spot where the man was , they soon discovered that ho was suspended by a rope , it being made fast to some hooks on the top of the
P 3 iliug to prevent persons getting over ; and to carry his design into effect , he was obliged , the pailhig net being high enough to extend higperson in a siting position , to tighten the rope round his neck aud strangle himself . He is about forty years of as ; c , and was dressed in a black frock coat , black waistcoat and trowsers , and his bat had apiece of crapo around it . No property was found in his possession , except a pocket-book and a duplicate . The engine-drivers and stokers of the varions engines , who were going up and down the line all night , have been questioned as to whetherthey had seen him before , but no ; the slightest information could be obtained .
A CriLQCE STOLEN FROM THE CUSTOM HOUSE . —For somo time past , private investigations by the borough magistrates have been going on with respect to the circumstances attending the loss of a cheque , for £ 110 10 s . lid ., from the Custom House . It appears that fin the 7 th of July a cheque for that amount , drawn on Messrs . Maddispns , was paid into the CuHom House by Messrs . Forders , spirit-merchants , aad in . tho course of business handed over to Mr Graves , of that establishment . The following day Mr . Graves missed the cheque , and from the hurry of nu-ini ' . « s at the time it was paid , ho did not recollect whether he had put the cheque into the cashbox , or had accidentally laid it on his desk . ^ An immediate inquiry was made at Mesers . Maddison ' s
bauh , whea it was found the cheque had been presented immediately after the opening of the bank in the morning , by a young man named Job Earle , a porter at the Vine Inn , and cashed by Mf . Maddison with twenty-five five-pound notes , five sovereign ^ and ten shillings and elevenpence . Earle had left the town , and from that time to this the most active exertions have been made by P . 5 . Terry , who , on Wedri *? day last , in consequence of information he had obtained , proceeded to Havre , and there , with the assistance of two of the French police , apprehended Earle , and got him on board the steam-vessel , and brought him over to Southampton . On the voyage , the prisoner , without any promise or inducement , made the following statement : —He said he went out one morning to fill his buoketa with water , and saw the old man who sweeps the long room of the Custom
House come down , and empty a tub of some rubbish , in which were some pieces of paper . He ( the prisoner ) -went and searched amongst it for some pieces of string , and amonptt the papeiB lie found a cheque . He took it to the Vine , and shewed it to the cook , who could read better than he could , and she told him it was not worth anything ; After he had had his breakfast , he went up to Maddison ' s bank with the cheque , and Mr . Maddison paid him the money without a word . He gave one of the £ 5 notes to his father and two others to hisSister-in-law , and then went off to Bristol . Afterwards he " went to Roueu , in France . About a fortnight'back he got tipsy at the house of a man named J ? itzpatrick , at Kouen , and during the nighthe was robbed of sixteen of the £ 5 notes , and some French silver . The prisoner was fully committed t « take his trial for the felony . —Hampshire Independent .

The Corpobation - —^ End of Mb . O'CpiytfELt ' s MAYORALiTy . — Mr . Q'Conneli has announced that he does hot again assume the office of lord mayor ; and thus those sanguine beings who calculated so compla cently on transferring the burthen of his maintenance from their shoulders to those of tlie ciiizens - . ' of Dublin , have that cup of consolation dashed from their lips for tho present , He assigns as his reason the impropriety of holding civic office whilfl so exclusively engaged in political agitation as
he saya he in tends henceforth to be . Wo give him every credit for assigning a sufficient reason , if it be the true oue ; but tho truth , we have no doubt is , that the several lord mayors expectant have kicked against tho proposal of keeping him perpetually in office ; and that he finds it safer tOjretire with a good grace _ than to risk a more summary ejection .

JFuu Augsburcr Gazelle of the 12 th instant publirhoa a letter from Canstantinople , of the 27 th July , stating that the manifesto of the Shah of Persia against Turkey left no hope of an amicable arrangement between those two countries . " The Porte considered the war a 9 inevitable ^ being determined not to make any concession to the Shah , either as respected the boundary-liue or tho required indoninity . " At one of its last deliberations , the Divan had resolved to appoint is Generalissimo of ihe army of operations the uncle of the reigning Shah , and brother to the late Aubas Mirza , " who lives retired in Asia Minor , and has repeatedly applied to the European Powers for aid to enable him to
recover his throne . The object of the Grand Yiziesr was not only to conquer the Shah , but to dethrone him aud substitute in his place the Pretender , who is said to have a powerful , party in Persia j ! ut Izzet had been compelled to abandon that project , in con-Kcquenca . . " of the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Russia having declare I that the feigning ; dynasty was placed under the protection of their respective Courts , who would oppose the usurpation of the sceptre by another branch of the Royal family .

Charge of Murder against a Liverpool CAPrAiN . —Thames Police - ^ -Ort Saturday , Capt . Partridge , Blaster of the Jarrow , of Li verpool , wa s charged with the wilful murder of three Spanish sailors on the lngh seas , between the coast Africa wd Teueriffe . The prisoner was brought home iu confinement in her Majesty's steamer Alban , which arrived on Friday at Woolwich from Teneriffe , where Captain Partridge had been for some time detained by the Spanish authorities for nori-pay merit of a fiiic of £ 400 for cruelty towards the seamen . On being claimed by the goyernment , the prisoner was given up . The first witness was Joseph FiBher , who said he went out as a boatswain in the Jarrow , an d came homeas mate ; he gave Iiis evidence very reluctantly ,
but the magistrate pressed arid threatened him , saying he was determined to get the whole of the facts out of him . He then said , the ship was bound from Africa to Liverpool , and soon after she sailed , > he became very leaky , which cpnipelled them to . put into Prince's Island , wheve they Bhipped four Spaniards as able seamen , but who proved to be quite the reverse . They had been taken out of a slaver by a miu-of-war , and were all ill when they came on board , but two of them particularly so . The first , wnora they called Humbry , Was flogged because he could not do his duty properly ; he died six weeks after he was first beaten ; he was flogged repeatedly ; neither of the Spaniarda had a harur mock ; they had small mats and rugs to li « upon
the day before he died witness iound him in the scuppers , and pulled him but ; -he supposed he had been sitting on some of the spafs , and by the rolling of the ship fell off . The second ; called Marianna . was continually flogged by the captain he was beaten thirty-six hours before he died , on the head with a double ^ foldihg log-slatie , the frame of which brokf into a dozen pieces ; the man ' s head was cut Sbverely and bled profusely , but he was ^ nevertheless ^ kept on deck for two hours "until hi j time was up , and then he went to the pucnp ; he either could not or would not pump , and the captain sent him into the rigging for four flours and a half ; when he left the rigging .. ha was insensible , and never moved afterwards . The third man was called Rosanne . He was beaten as often as the others ; ho
was flogged before he had been on board a . dozen honrs , because he could not pump hard enough . This man did not die until they reached Teneriffe ; witness had repeatedl y eeea the captain knock him down ; the man was dirty ^ and be died : through that and weakness and hard work . When the ship performed quarantine the man was mustered with the others at the gangway , but nothing was said to the doctor , who came alongside , about : liis being ill . All thtee of tbe iaen went to the pumps when they could scarcely stand . Witness ' had ' reported to the captain that one of the Spaniards was too ill to come on deck , and vras ordered to rouse him dead or alive . The prisoner said he found ; the Spaniard asleeo at the helm . and therefore he gave him
a slap' * with the BlaW .- ^ Ricljard Gerard , carpeniter of the ship , detailed a number of gross cruelties , and added that the Spaniards had less provisions than the other men . The pan who died at Teneriffe had his arm in a sling , owing to a wound in the hand he received from the captain . They had shipped two Frenohmen at Liverpool ; one ran away at Teneriffe , and the other disappeared from the ship one morning when on the coast ef , Africa . It was supposed he jumped overboard , and he was thought to be out of his mind , pthev witnesses deposed to the extreme cruelties praoVised tbWardai . th * Spaniaxde , and ultimately tha magistratei Teraanded the prisoner on the charge ff murder * ia order that he might consult with hif , friends , and obtain profeu- « Bional advice , praviqKa U his beinftconuaitted .

AJfOTHER SUICUPE BV JLB'APJ ^ G FROM . IHJE ¦;• ; : - ¦ ¦ ¦¦ ¦ ¦' ^• ¦; . ¦;¦' . ; : MONUMENT ,. ' ;^ v - ; : > i ' / - \^ :., .. . - The neighbourhood of the Alonumenti on Friday , again became the scene of a most painful ssrsation , by the suicide of : a youngwoman from '> . be gallery of this edifice . Soon after ten o ' clock that morning she applied far adm ' weion , and was accompanied : to the ^ top of the building by one of the men who ^ for the last three years * always uttond upon por&pns Tisittng thia oncieut building , to whom she put several minute questions relative to the various objects tbat . are to be witnessed . Sht > appeared quite calm and collected , and nothing waa exhibited by which any fcuspiclori could be entertained that she contemplated a precipitation . However , she
had scarcely beea up a quartsr of an hour , when , during a momentary suspension of the keeper ' s usual vigilance ,, she alertly climbed ovevVthat portion of the rail ing facing Arthur-street , opposite Fish-street Hill , whence / after hanging by the rails for a few aeconds , duving which she was occupied in tucking in her clothing tightly between her knees , she let go with a Blight spring , descending head foreiiiost , and in heif fall striking the gtiffia at the top of . the right side of the bas 9 . She then was precipitated forward into the open space fronting the Monument , and . reached the ground about three or four yards froni the pedestal . Assistance was promptly rendered by the policeman on duty , Rolph , 671 ; -but she was a corpse , aud sadly bruised . In her descent she struck off the hat from the bead of a
carman ¦ who waB ' passing by at tbo time , and then touching the horse ' s fteck , rebounded ' ,- nnd fell upon the ground . Her head at th ^ e back portion appeared to ba slightly fractured , her eye-brows and . nose , discoloured , her legsand ancles both broken , tho bonei ! protruding ttirougti the skin ; and she was otherwise considerably bruised . After she bad been examined by a surgeon , her body was conveyed to St . Magnus's Church , and placed in "¦ a shell , to await the Coroner ' s iivquest . Her general appearance was tbat of a nurseryiinaid ; ber clothing decent and clean , but hot of an expensive OGscri {) tion . Her ^ chemisa was marked J ; G . She had 6 ui a , muelin iilnc coloured figured ; gown ;¦ straw bonnet , inside lining white silk , and jpiice sibbon ; light brown shawl , fringed with green ; and black haif-boota . She
was thick set * rather under five feet m height ; h ; id a full face , with bub little colour , and beautiful dark , eyes ; she appeared to be about twenty-three years ' of - age ; and in the opinion of a medical gentleman , was encienle .: At two o ' clock in the afternoon she ^ ad not bee n identified ; but one of the metropolitan police said that he ; had observed her for th » last six or seven diiya walkini ? the street of Southwark , but iiad not seen tier previously to that period . It will be recollected that immediately after the last two occurrences of a similar kind wkich occurred three years ago in September , the city autHbritiea engaged two individuals , whose duty it was to superintend all persons visiting the monument ; one being employed in the morning , and the other in the afternoon of the day .
However , notwithstanding these precautions , tho usual vigilance of the attendant was not kept ¦ sufficiently alive , and another . "death has been tho unfoitunate consequence . Tho unfortunate deceased waa the only individual who applied far admission during the morning Of course a great crowd was ccllepted around tb , e spot ; but an extra Bupply of palice was immediately for warded by the city commissioner to keep the streets clear . It is a melancholy reflection that this is the thifd time that life has been , sacrificed in the same dreadful manner within one year arid a half . The almost uselesEness of appointing a sentinel in the
gallery niust now be apparent to every parson ; and if the Monument be not altogether closed against tiie : public , so : « e better means of prevention must be adopted thin at picsent existai But the matter will ; doubtless , be carefully discussed by the comuiittee , alter the escitemeiii of , the catastrdpha has passed away , Mr . Bleadoa , chairman of the Commercial Steam Packet Company , who is tlie present responsible lessee of . the Monument , states that Fletcher is a man in whom he kad great confidence , and his neglect on this cccaaion is altogether extraordinary to those who have known him for many years past .
