Edward Jerrold, commonly called Black Ned, a
cab-driver, stated, that on Monday night last, he
left a gentleman in Cheapside from the theatre, and
was returning to his stand, Charles ' street, Covent
Garden, when on passing through Temple bar, he
was called to 4 a gentleman who appeared to be
sheltering froM the rain, at the entrance of Bell

be appeared to be perfectly sober; but when he,
cabman, inquired, where he should drive him to, de
ceased gave a loud laugh, and told him to drive to
6-11. Witneis took the answer as a joke, and
asked deceased to point out to him the road,
upon which deceased said, .4 you are a pretty fel
low for a London cabman, not to know the way to
hell ; there are -five thousarid ways in London—take
the first; go through Wych street arid up Drury
lane." .Witness drove on.: at this time there was
a heavy rain, accompanied by thunder and light
ning ; deceased cried out at several times, that it
was a glorious night !" and told witness to drive
like the On reaching Drury lane, he called
to witnessqo pull up at a public house; deceased
entered, and called for a stiff glass of brandy, which
he drank, he made witness drink also, and treated .
several person's , who were standing at the bar; he
laid down a sovereign, and told the bar maid to keep
the change, saying, that he was going to a place
whqe he would not want money ; he again entered
the cab, and told witness to drive towards Holborn;
tt poured rain;; the windows' of the cab were all
up ; when witriesS arrived at Holborn, he called out
to deceased to know which way he was to drive;
he called twice, but received no answer; he (wit

near to a lamp, in order that he might see better.
Witness looked through the front window of the
cab, and perceived that deceased had taken off his
coat, and waS es if reclining across the 'cab ; the
window of the cab vies dimmed With the rain, and
the witness Could not see' distinctly. He called
again, but received _ no answer; upon which, he got
down, opened the door of his. cab and found to his

had his shirt sleeves turned up, and both arms

Mersa, the baneful; GIrL
Mr. entered, early into the honorable East .
India Company's service, and came out to Madras
ti fine, bold-spirited and elegant youth. He served
through the whole of the war with the Burnes%
which broke out Boon after he arrived in India,
with an intrepidity and bravely equal to that: of the
other officers who were engaged in that hard ser
vice, and many of whom were cot off in the midst
of their glorious career. At the conclusion of the
war his regiment was, ordered back to Madras,
while his heart beat high with gratitude for having
been permitted to escape unhOrt. '
At one (lithe native leasis which were held about
this time, he became enamored of one of the dan
cing girls, whose soft mild eye and beautiful figure,
for which this particular class is so finned, so com
pletely infatuated his affections % that 'for a time he
thought himself completely happy in the posses
mon of the loved syren.
Two years passed away, during Which time be
had become too indolent to discard one who once
was the object of his affections : butthese affections
had become cooled by habit and intercourse, and it
was not till the arrival from England of the lovely

daughter of Captain —, that he found how vision

ment.
Miss If— was, indeed, all that a man could
paint of beauty, wit and accomplishments: there
war the ray cheek, the fair open brow, the round
and polished arm; in short all that distinguishes
our fair and lovely cour.try.womon.
Lieutenant B— had many rivals, but he
oe( v
wo and won her. The day, the happy day,
was e for their marriage, all his friends partook
in the ensure that beamed from his eye, all save
one—t at one was Mena, the dancing girl. He
had, as soon as he had become acquainted with
Miss IT— item the girl from htm with money and
jewels, according to the general custom in India,
and supposed 'that she had gone to some other pro.
tection, or returned to her own country, as he bad
not seen 'her for two or three months. A month,
however, previous to his marriage, she came to
him and told him to beware—that though parted
from him she still loved ; that she could bear to be
separated, but to see biro married to another, that
she could not endure. B— thought this was on.
ly to extort money from him, he therefore again
loaded her with presents and sent her to her
friends.
The day befere the marriage was spent in that
bustle and feverish anxiety which is-so natural to
the occasion; in making his final arrangements in
his bungalow, that was soon to receive his lovely
mistress. All was love and hope with him. The
night came—the last he was to sleep in his present
quarter?. Merza, the now hateful Mersa, stood
before his bed. 'Beware!' said she, ' beware :
Spurn not the heart and love of Merza : lead not to
the alter the fair European : my bitterest hate and
revenge shall follow.—lf this, my second warning,
be unheeded, this day month shall see a mourning
widow.—Choose now between my fondest love or
burning hate—beware P
• B— sprang from his bed to follow her, but she
was gone: the servants were sleeping around the
house; no footsteps could be traced to any spot
where she could have concealed herself; the whole
house was opec ; any one might have entered or
gone out without observation. Et— returned to
his bed ;be felt too happy to think much on this
circumstance. The gay morning sun beheld him
dressed in his full uniform. One hour more and
he would be the exulting possessor of lovely a bride.
About a week atter their marriage I called upon
them : the bride's eye was lighted up with love, and
her mouth was graced with the happiest smiles :
but B— himself looked ill, and he complained
- slightly of a burning at his stomach, which he had
fell, he said, for the last two days. In another
week I again called, and I law him lying listlessly
upon a sofa, with his lovely wife beside liim, 'ook
ing anxiously in his face. He could eat nothing,
and was evidently wearing away. The medical
attendant,ordered change of air, and he was moved
from Palaveram to the Mount, where he disclosed
to his wife ,the prediction of Merza, "the dancing
girl, related his former connection with her, and
expressed his full persuasion that his doom was
sealed..-
The last week came; deep yea the anxiety of
his brother officers; the anguish of his doating wife,
I cannot describe; all aid was in vain ; the day
month of his marriage he. was laid in his coffin, a
senseless corpse; his widow well nigh a maniac,
who bad scarcely numbered seventeen years. Poor
13—'s body was opened ; but it was found that
grciund glass had been administered to him,which
completely wore away the coats of the stomach,
and which no medicine that had seen given him
had been able to dislodge. Thus died one of the
bravest of the Rangoon heroes. 'With how much
less regret would his brother officers have beheld
him stretched amongst the dead on the battle field.
PI CTOOESCIITE BEAUTY OF MINES or Cosr..--7-The
coal mines of Bohemia an, stated by Dr. Dockland
to be the most beautiful he had ever visited. We will
describe:them in his own eloquent words The
most elaborate imitations of living foliage on the
painted ceilings of Italian palaces, bear no compari
son with the beauteous prolusion of extinct vegeta
ble forms with which the galleries of these instruc
tive coal mines are overhung. The roof is covered
as with a canopy of gorgeous tapestry, enriched with
festoons of most graceful foliage, flung in wild, irre
gular profusion over every portion of its surface.
The effect is heightened by the contrast of the coal
black colour of these vegetables, with the light
ground-work of the rock to which they are attached.
The spectator feels transported, as if by enchant
ment, into the forests of another world ; he beholds
trees of form and character now unknown upon the
surface of the earth, presented to his senses almost
inthe beauty and vigour of their primeval life ; their
scal)._atems and bending branches, with their deli.
cats apparatus , of foliage, are all spread forth before
him, little impaired by the lapse of indefinite ages,
and bearing faithful records of extinct systems of ye.
getation, which' began and terminated in times of
which thew relics are the infallible historians.
Such are the grand natural herbaria wherein these
most ancient remains of the vegetable kingdom are
preserved in a state of integrity little short of their
living perfection, under conditions of our planet
which cream, more. "
