SOXG FOR THE MILLIONS . < 3 od of the world ! in mercy bend thine ear , Unto a starring natien ' B grievous prayer ; let not the stifled sigh and burning tear Ba Tain appeals for thy protecting care . OI stretch thy strong right arm to succour thosa Who hungert paugB and poverty enflure . God of the millions crush thy people ' s foes , And in thy mercy save the suffering poor . Than great First Cause , eternal , just and good , . Whose attributes are charity and lore ; Shall not thy people share alike the food Which Thou hast sent in plenty from above ? Shall partial laws , made by usurped power , For ever curse the nations of the earth ? Shall millions of thine image ever cower , And glorious freedom never wake to birth ?
la it thy will that men shall grieve , and pine , And die uBsuccoured , helpless , and unknown ? Thou who can ' s * see the slavery in the mine" Thou who can ' st hear from thence the miner ' s groan ; Thoa wiliest not that this should ever be ; In all thy works fair purity is found . The -winds , the wares—all elements are free—Shall man alone in fetters base be bound ? Perish the minion formed of basest clod , Whose dastard soul ignobly does not dare la face of day to supplicate his Cod , That an may equal privileges share . Giver of life and light eome to our aid—Soothe Thou our anguish , listen to our call , Let the oppressors in the duat be laid , And freedom givs exulting joy to all .
Them who controls the planets in their course , And roles the Tarying seasons of the year—Whose hand can stay the lightning ' s mighty force , And stop the whirlwind in its mad career—Thou who givesttime and spaeeitsbreadthand length , And in the justice of mankina delights , Give to the people fortftada and strength , That they may gain their long-lost acred rights .

UNITED STATES . By the arrival of the Arcadia , which came to SBcaor in the Mersey , last Saturday morning , important intelligence is received relative to the boundary question , which is believed now to be finally settled . The National Intelligencer of the 20 th ult . has the following remarks on the negoci&tion : —** Lord Ashbur . on is believed to have held out long for the entire Madawaska settlement . But the Maine commissioners are said to hare been as immovable as any four pine stumps on the disputed territory . So Maine , under the arrangement , goes to the river
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 . Francis , will be agreed to . Bat then Maine gets what the Dutch king did bo * give her , the navigation of the . river ; and this trebles the value of all her tall pine trees . Westr "wardly of the St . Francis , England takes a tract of mountain land , nntimbered , and of ho earthiy value bat a * a boundary ; and she relinquishes to the United States RonseVpoint , the key of Lake ChamplaiD , and a large territory heretofore supposed to belong to New York and Vermont , but which turns ¦ ou t . to He north of the 45 ; h degree of latitude , and is therefore a part of Canada . It is said to be , and
probably is , in consequence of this cession , thai the United States Government agrees to pay a sunvto each « f the States of Maine and Massachusetts for the acres they hare parted rwith ; 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 thonght . tbere are questions of boundary fnriher np , as the secretary of state ias eummonsd here the commisswnfirs , &c . who ran the line , or ^ ndeaToarod to do so , nnder fte treaty of Ghent ( tat conld 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 swttled .

are now informed , positively , that the democratic senators—particularly those in favour of Mr . Van B&ren—are already out in opposition to the treaty debouncing it as anti-national and anti-American . Mr . Silas Wright and Mr . Buohannan are probably both of this opinion . On the other side , it is also stated that Mr . Mangmn , and those who act witb him , intend to assume a similar position . A caucus or consultation was , however , to be held on Monday , to determine what fine of conduct they would adopt . The chances were that the Ultra-Whiga would assame the same grounds as the Ultra-Looofocos had , and-that the treaty would be rejected by a large vote . This intelligence may be relied upon . It is obvious , therefore , that our relations with England ate in a more ticklish condition than they have been for a quarter of a century past We are assured that on the rejection of the treaty , Lord Ashbuxton will immediately return borne in the Warspite , and Mr . Pox will demand his passports and follow him . "

Fhadds at the Ci « tom-hotjsk — An important inquiry is now pending at the custom-house , connected with fraud to a great extent on the revenue , having been committed by parties holding high and responsible situations . Already seven officers have been suspended . One of the officers has absconded . - —Times . ^ uid pbo Quo . —An Englishman on laEding at Calais , called for a barber . One was speedily in attendance , and the traveller thW addressed him : M 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 the contents throagh your braiq on the instant . " " Fear hot , " said the barber , and away he went to work with the utmost care , circumspection , and delicacy of operation . The task being completed , the enchanted Englishmen observed , "You were not-afraid of the pistols then . " " Ko , my lord . " " And why ! " " Because , " replied the barber , "if I had been unlucky enough to make a Blip , I would have cut your throat . "
AtWells Assizes , lust week , the Reverend Thos . John Theobald , Rector of Nunney , was tried for two criminal assaults on Caroline Dornis , a housemaid at the Rectory . The prosecutrix described the assaults as having taken place , the one in Mr . Theobald ' s dressisg-room , where she went to take eome hot water one morning , and the other at-night in her own bed-room , ^ which she had been providfd with at-the defendant ' s special desire apart from the cook . She did not tell Mrs . Theobald , who waa
very near her confinement ; but she told the cook and her aunt of the first assault , who advised her not to leave her place , as Mr . Theobald promised not to repeat the offence . She left tbe house oa the morning following the Becond attack , and told Her aunt . Cross-examination dr « wfrom the 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 and acquitted the prisoner . - ;
Re-Assehbllng of Parliament . —We have heard arumoar that it is the intention of ministers toreassemble Parliament in a short time , in order to pass a Coercion Act for the manufacturing distriots . We notice flie 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 labour , 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 iv flic ted no wounds . They have broken , windows ^ and in the Potteries hate burned down houses ; but for these offences , particularly the latter , . which is a heinous crime , the law already provides , - Additional penal Jaws , or a Coercion Act , might exasperate the people , but could not prevent offences , and would injure trade . It would go far to reduce tbe manufacturing districts to the condition of Ireland . Such a policy would be , indeed fatal , and we give tbe rumour that Sir R . Peel intends to adopt it an emphatic denial . —Sun .
Impwsxt Robbery by a vassikgly dressed Female . —Caution to Tradesmen . —On Saturday , information was given at the different police stationhouses of a most impudent robbery committed on the preceding evtning by a dashingly-dressed female . It appears that on Friday evening a carriage drove up to the shop door of Mr . John Metcalf , jeweller , Pall-mall , out of which a fashionably-dressed female , about thirty years of age , alighted , and entered the shop . She spoke in a mixture of French and Eaelish , and requested to be shown some diamond rings . A variety were placed before her , out of which she selected four , of a half-heop puttern , the value of which was £ 100 . She then represented herself as the wife of Count De Morel ,
private secretary to the Prench Ambassador , and desired that the rings with a bill ehould be sent to the house No . 39 , Albion-street , Hyde Park , at half-past seven o ' clock , when the amount of the latter . woald be paid . The rings 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 , fonnd that she had only taken a lodging In ths house on tne same morning , and he was obliged to return home minus the rings or their value .
MtJEDEfc 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 five men charged with the crime 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 . Blowa ensued , and the Irishmen were worsted , and two of them beaten dangerously . Soon after , the deceased , John Bowling entered the
court , and said , " What is all this noise about !" when the five men said , " We will soon let you know , you Irish f and with that he was cut down with a hatchet , and fell dead at once . After he had fallen he was kicked and Bt&bbed repeatedly , and hi 3 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 } 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 de-Btraction of the nnfortunate deceased . Another Irishman who ran t <> his assistance was so severely kicked , that no hopes are entertained of his recovery . The police were most active , and appre ^ bended- all the prisoners in the course of the
morning . Extensive Fobgebies by the Vestbt Clerk of St . Luke , 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 for above four years has been vestry clerk , and has also occupied the situation of clerk to the trustees , had committed forgeries on the treasurer by means of forced cheeks , to an amount between £ 3 , 000 aad £ 4 , 000 . About a month ago he asked permission of the boaTd 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 Hamsgate or Margate , and left hiason , who was his
assistant , to transact his business during bis absence . Last Monday , as he was some days beyond his time , that being board- < Jiy , it was discovered that a forgery had been committed through the 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 out , for two of the trustees to affix their signatures to it , when it jb countersigned by their clerk . An inquiry was in consequence made at the banker-- , Messrs . Mastermah and Co ., to ascertain how thesignatures of assumed trustees could have sneeeededin having cheques cashed , when in the list of trustees which isforwardedto thebankerBsuehname 3 were notincluded , as having beenthose of such persons
who were returned at the antecedent Easter election , when it waa 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 autographs , which had been sent to the bankers after the Easter election of trustees , and which iB 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 suspicion was raised that he was acting dishonestly to the board . As far as has been ascertained , above ; £ 3 . { ffl 0 iiag been obtained by means of these forged checks , from the bankers , and which it is believed has been entirely changed for # old at the bank , * s ,
fora fortnight previous to the 5 ih inst ., l » e was in the habh of sendiag a person there with notes , for which the person brought back gold . In one day twenty , £ 10 notes were so exchanged . Application was made on Friday to the Lord Mayor . at the Mansion honse for a warrant to apprehend htm , and which would be placed in the hands of the Forreatera . It is supposed that he has gone with hia family , which consists of his wife , a son , and four daughters to America . The trustees hare offered £ 20 D reward for his -apprehension . A few weeks ago Reid , who was one of the beadles of St . Lake ' s , and who was previously a serjeant of the GdiTJBion , snddenly absconded , when it was discovered that he had been borrowing money of vftriooa tradesmen in the parish , in sums varying from £ 10 to £ 50 *

Thk Mtodeb at HiGHBtTEr . —On Friday it was ordered by government that Mrs . 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 laHer persons are perfectly recovered , and are now at their nsual vocations . Moss is performing duty in the N division . The trial of Mrs . Bybhb , for the murder of 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 indicated death by strangulation , but not with sufficient certainty to induce conviction . The arguments for the defense were , that death must hare 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 as 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 we&k 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 Itoyal nursery . He was taken before the Eart of Liverpool , Lord Steward of the Household ; to whose interrogatories he replied , that he had that day walked thirty miles , and come to Windsor Castle for his pension , and that he had followed a pot-boy into the Castle . When ho was about to be removed , he made-a slight reaistance , Baying , " I ' ve now got into good quarters , and here I'll stay for the night . "
He was , however , taken to the Station-house ; andoo 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 Godolphiu 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 nasputhia insanity bt yond a doubt . Oa Thursday , he waB again examined and was committed to Bethlehem Hospital under the Home Secretary ' s warrant , there to remain during the pleasure of the Crown .
At thb Gloucester Assizes , William Dwyer , Jeremiah Dwyer , and Charles Dwyer , ( three brothers , ) James Regan , Patrick Donovan , and Dennis Callaghau , were tried for the murder of Roberts , the Policeman . Very early on the morning of the 19 th of June , some of the men were found by Roberts and another Policeman quarreling , and raising a disturbance in St . James's Back , Bristol . In leading them off to the Station-house , Roberts was attacked by the Dwjers : Charles Dwyer struck him on the
head and kicked him very brutally ; and be died in consequence of the injuries within eight and forty hours . The Jury returned a verdict oi" Manslaughter " against Charles Dwjer , William Dwyer , and Regan . ; acquitting the other three prisoners , and accompanying their verdict with a recommendation to msrey , on the ground that it appeared to them that Skidner , the other Policeman , struck the first blow . Charles Dwyer was sentenced to transportation for life j 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 dcors placards couched in "inflammatory " laDguage , and announcing meetings to be held on Tuesday and Thursday at Stepney Green and Islington . The bearers pleaded poverty , and ignorance or inattention-to the nature of the placards : two of them could not read . They were let off under their own recognizinres to keep the peace or to appear in answer to any future charge . Craven , a coal shed-keeper , in St . Pancras , said that thjB placard had been hung at his door at the request of a customer , while he was out ; and be promised to take it down . The case was dismissed . Jeans , a hairdresser , in Snow ' s Fields , Southwark , had also exhibited the placard 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 penalties of £ 20 each , that he would answer any charge at the Central Criminal Court .
Tehpeiunce . —The advantages of the spread of teetotalism in Ireland are strikingly illustrated in the improved condition of many of the agricultural labourers who annually visit England at this period of the 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 coffeo and Bugar have supplanted gin and whisky . This pleasing alteration forced itself upon the notice of the principal tea-dealer in Boston , to whose shop multitudes of the son ? of Erin have applied for the useful articles he vend ? , and a few days since one man purchased for himself and comrades thirty five packages of coffee and sugar at one time . —Bravo , Father Malhew and Teetotalism!—Lincoln Mercury .
The Afsize Court at Devises was occupied on Wednesday and Thursday , with an action for breach of promise of marriage , brought by MissRooke , aged twenty-six , the daughter of a tradesman at Salisbury , against Mr . Conway a hale widower of .. sixty-seven . Miss Rocke passed eleven months at Mr , Con way ' s house in 1839 , ostensibly on a visit to the daughter ; and in that time the host " Rained her affections . " He went so far as to sit on the same nofa with his arm round her waist , to walk with her morning and evening , and to correspond by letter j 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 plaintiff , with one farthing damages .
Father Mathew in Glasgow . —On Wednesday a serious accident occurred in the Cattle Market , during the time Father Mathew was administering the teetotal pledge . Three Iad 3 , the better to view the proceedings , had mounted upon a chimney stack built © f brick , but the weight was too heavy , and the Btack gave way , whereby the whole three were thrown to the ground , the bricks and rubbish falling upon them , and we regret to say that o » e of them has lost his life . The other two were very severely brnised , bat not so daDgerously but that hopes are entertained for their recovery . Father Mathew has been engaged the entire day ia the Cattle Market , pledging and confirming the thousands who have flocked te his standard from all quarters . —Glasgow Chronicle .
SgiCidb . —Shortly after four o ' clock on Saturday morning , as a ballast engine was conveying some policemen and excavators along the Eastern Counties Railroad from the terminus at Shoreditch to Stratford , they noticed what appeared to them a man sitting against the pailings which divided the line from the Old Ford-road , Bow , apparently asleep . They , 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 coining to- the spot where the man was , they soon diEcovered that he was suspended by a rope , it being made fast to some hooks on the top of the
paihng to prevent persons getting over ; and to carry his design iuto effect , he was obliged , the pailing not being high enough to extend his person in a sitting position » , to tighten the rope round his neck and strangle himself . He iB about forty years of age , and was dressed in a black frock coat , black waistcoat and trowsers , and his hat had a piece of crape around it . No property was found in his possession , except a pocket-book and a duplicate / The engine-drivers and atokera of the -various engines , who were going up and down the line all eight , have been questioned as to whether they had seen him before , but not tbe slightest information could be obtained .
A Cheque stolen from the Custom House . —For some time past , private investigations by the borough magistrates have been going on withtespect to the circumstances attending the loss of a cheque , for £ 110 103 . lid ., from the Custom House . It appears that on the 7 th of July a cheque for that amount , drawn on Messrs . Maddisons , was paid ^ into the Custom Houfe by Messrs . Forder 9 , spirit-merchants , and in the course of business handed over to Mr . Graves , of that establishment The following day Mr . Graves missed the cheque , and from the hurry of business at the time it was paid , he did not rocollect whether he had put the cheque into the caBhbox , or had accidentally laid it on his deak . _ An immediate inquiry was made at Messrs . Maddison a
bank , when it was found the cheque bad been presented immediately after the opening of the bank in the morning , by a young man named Job Earle , a porter at the Yine Inn , and cashed by Mr . Maddison with twenty-five five-pound notes , five sovereigns , 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 . S . Tetrj , who , on Wednesday 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 buckets with water , and saw the old man who sweeps theIons room of
the Custom House eome down , and empty » 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 amongst the papers he found a cheque . He took it to the Vine , and shewed ft to the cook , who oould read better than he could , and she told him it was not worth anything . After he had had . hia breakfast , he went Hp 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 his eister-in-l&w , and then went off to Bristol . Afterwards be went to Rouen , in France . About a fortnight back he got tipsy at the house of a man named Filzpatrick , at Rouen , and during the night he wa&iobbed of Bixteen of the £ o notes and some French silver . The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial for th « felony . —Hampshire Independent .

THzAugsburfj Gazetteoi thb 12 th instant publishes a letter from Canstantinople , of the 27 th July , stating that the manifesto of the Shah of Persia against Turkey left no hope ot au amioable arrange ^ ment between those two oountries . '¦¦ " The Porto considered the war as inevitable , being determined not to make any concession to the Shah , either as respected the boundary-liue or tho required indemnity . '' Atone of ita last deliberations , the Divan had resolved , to appoint as Generalissimo of the army of dperations 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
torecover his throne . The object of the G ; rand : Vizier was not only to conquer tho Shah , but tp ! dethrone him and substitute in hw place the pretender , who is said to have a powerful party in Persia ; i ut Izzet had been compelled to abandon that project , in conseqaenoo of the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Russia having declare i that the reigning dynasty wa 9 placed under the protection of their respective Courts , who would oppose the usurpation of the sceptre by another branch of tVe Royal family . According to advices direct from Cohsiantinople of the 27 th , the general impresaion is that there will be no serious rupture , but that the offered mediation of Great Britain and Rnssia will be effectuali

buV the magistrate pressed and threatened him , saying he was determined to get tlie whole of the fact 3 out of him . He then ea , id , the ship was bound from Africa to Liyerpoolj and soon after she sailed , she became very leaky , which Pompelled them to put into Prince ' s Island , where they shipped four Spaniards as able seamen , but who proved to be quite the reverse . They had been taken out of a slaver by a man-of-war , and were all ill when they came on board , but two of them particularly so . The first , whom they called Humbry , wasHogged because he could not do his duty properly j he died bix weeks after he was firtt beatpn ; he : was flogtjed repeatedly ; Deither of the Spaniards had a hammock : they had small mats arid ruas to lie upon :
the day before he died witness found him in : the souppers , and pulled him out ; he supposed he had been sitting on some of the spars , and by the rolling of the ship fell off . \ The second , called Marianna ; was continually flogged by the captain ; he was beitpn thirty-B > x hours before he died , on the head with a double-fQWing log ^ slatei the frame of which br 6 k into a doZ'jn pieces { the man's head was cut severeiy and bled profusely , but he was , nevertheless , kept on deck for two hours-until hii time was up , and theii he went , to the punip ; ho either could not or would not pump , and the captiin sent liiia into the rigging for four hours and a half ; when he left ; the rigging he was insensiblei and never moved afterwardsi The third man was called
Rosanne . He was beaten as often as the others ; he was flogged before he had been on board a dozen hoHrs , because he could not pump hard enough * This man did hot die until they reached Teneriffe ; witness had ropeatedly seen the captaih knock him down ; the man was dirty , and he died through that and wieakness 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 his being ill . ' All three of the men went to the pumps when they could scarcely stand . Witness had report ^ to the captaih that one of the Spaniards was too ill to come on deck ; and w » a ordered to jouse Mm dead or alive . The prisoner said he found the
Spaniard asleep at thehelm , and theretorene gave mm a ^ ' slab" with the fltate . —Richard Gerard , carpenter ot the ahipt detailed a namber of ^^ gross , crbelties , and added that the Spaniards had less provisions than the other men . ' The man who died at ^ eneriffe had Wa arm in a sling , owing to a wonnd ^ m _ tbe hand ho receivecl froB the captwn .

' ; . - - The neighbourhood of the Monument , on Friday , again became the scene of a most painful seBBation , fey the suicide ot a Joung womaii from vh ' e gallery of this edifice . Soonafter ten o ' clock that morning ebe applied for admission , and was accompanied to tho top of the building by one of the men wLb , foi thb last three years , always attend upon persons visiting this ancient building , it whom she put several minute questions relative to the-various . dejecta that are to be ^ ^ ; witne 3 sed . ¦¦ ¦ ; - ; ShP appeared quite calm and collected , and nothing was exhibited by which any suspicion could be euteitained that she contemplated a precipitation : However ; she had scarcely beea up a quarter of an hour , when , during
a momentary suspeosion of the keeper ' s usual vigilance , she alertly climbed over that portion of the railing facing Arthur-street , ; opposite Fiah-strpet Hill , whence , after hanging by the rails for a few seconds , during which she was occupied in tucking in her clothing tightly between her knees ^ she let go with a slight spring , descending head foromoBt , and in her fall striking the griffin at the top of the t . ' ght side of the base . She theti was precipitated forward into tho : open epacq fronting the Monument ; ; and reached the ground about three or four yards from the pedestal . Assistance was promptly rendered by =. the policeman on duty , Rolphi 57 X ; . but 8 hi « was acoitpBe , aad sadly bruised . In her descent she struck off the hat from the head of > carman who ; was . passing by at thei time , and tbeu
touching the horse ' s week , rebounded , and fell upon the ground ; Her head ; at the back portion appeared : to be slightly fractured , her eye-brows and nOBO discoloured , her legs and ancles both broken ^ , the bones protruding through tbe skin , and she was otherwise considerably bruised . After she had been examined by a surgeon , her body was conveyed to St . Magnus ' s Church , and placed in a shell , ; , to await the Coroner's inquest . Her . general appearancei was that .. . of : a nursery-maid j her clothing decent and clean , but not of an expensive iiescription . ; Her . chemise was marked : J ..-C . She had oh a muslin liiac colouredfigured gown ; straw bonnet , inBide lining-vshite silk , and puca ribbon ; light blown shawl , fringed with green ; and black half-boots . She was thick set ,, rather under five fe&t * height ;
had a / full faco , with but little colour , and beautifuV ¦ dirt ' eyes ; ¦ ¦ -she appeared to . i > e about twenty-three years of ¦• ¦ -age . $ and in the opinion of a medical gentleman , yta&eiicienle . At two o ' clock in the aftornoon she bad not been identified ; but pue of the metropolitan police said that he had observed her for the last six pr seven days walking the streets of SotithwatB :, but had jQot seen her previously td that period . It will be recollected that ammeaiately after the last two occurrences of a similar kind which occurred three years ago in September , the city authorities engaged two individuals , whose duty it was to superintend all persons visiting the monument ; one being empioyed in the morning , and the other in the afternoon of the day . However , not withstanding these precautions , the usual vigilance of the attendant was not kept sufficiently alive , and another death has been the unfortunate consequence . The unfortunate deceassd was the only individual who applied fei admission during the morningrd
Of course a great crowd : was collecte , around , the spot , but an extra supply 6 f police > ras immediately forwarded by the city commissioner to keep the streets clear . It iBBmeladchply reflection that this is the third time that life has been sacrificed in the same dreadful manner ; within one year an < l a half . The almost : uselesshess of appointing , a sentinel in the gallery jnust now be apparent to every person ; and if thp Monument be not altogether closed against the public , some better means of prevention ruust be adopted than at picsent exists . But the matter will , doubtless , be carefully ^ discussed by ilie committee , after-the . ekcltemeiit . of the cataBtrophe naa passed a . vfaji Mr , Bleadoii , chairman of the Commercial Steam Packet Company , who is the present responsible lessee of the Monuthentj states that Fletcher is a man in whom he ¦ kad . great cpnfldence , and his" neglegj on this cccaiion is altogether extraordinary to those who have known him for : many years past .. The deceased was the first person who ascended the Monument on Friday .
iftBwtiiy of the ^ ody . —Shoitly aftoi seven e'clock on Friday evening , a gentleman named Robottorn , who stated his addreas to be 54 , Buttlsland-Btreet , East-road ,: Hoxton , applied to the officers in charge of the body , of the female , at St .

He thought It
strange at the time , inasmuch as she had always previously stated that her father and mother were both dead , and that she bad no relative .
