DECEMBER 31, 1853. stances appear to have been good, but he had become extremely jealous, and suspected that a babe bont only a few days previously was not his. On the night in question he rushed into the room where his wife lay in bed with the infant, stabbed her re peatedly in the arm and side with a dagger-knife, and then cut his own throat. The poor woman escaped and brought aid, but her husband was quite dead when she returned. _ _ Tnvmr.s-sTatur has been visited with another great tire, which broke out on Monday morning in a large warehouse at. the corner of Bread-street-hill. The building was seven stories high, and occupied by Mr. Dunstan, stationer and rag-merchant. It contained a vast store of rags, among which it is presumed spontaneous combustion was produced, resulting in time total destruction of the warehouse and contents. Formerly the house was used as a sugar. store, and the beams and floors becoming saturated with saccharine matter were exceedingly inflammable, and poured forth dense volumes of flame. St. Michael's Church, adjacent, was in great peril from the conflagration, but preserved by much exertion. Is repairing a cottage at Ditching, a village in Sussex, the skeletons of five infants were found secreted behind the bricks of the chimney. The cottage had been long inhabited by a labourer named Gottard and his daughter, who married only at few months since. Some neighbours stated at the in quest that the woman had been several times noticed to exhibit symptoms of pregnancy during past years, though she only brought up two children. Some idea of apprehending her on a capital charge was entertained, ant the evidence proved insufficient. She has, however, been taken into custody on a magistrate's warrant for the minor offence of con cealing birth. A snociciso MI . RDER has been committed at Barnsley. The victim was Thomas Husband, a labourer, about forty years of age. lie was noted for boasting about the amount of money he had in his possession, as well as for his liberality to his pot companions. On Sunday night., after drinking at two public-houses, he was proceeding on a lonely road, near Beevor-hall, followed, it is supposed, by several of his companions. his body was discovered the next day by the driver of an omnibus, covered with mud and dirt, and the pockets turned inside out. A surgical examination proved that death could not have been occasioned by accident; and it was evident that the deceased had been murdered and robbed. Ile was supposed to have had several pounds in his possession when he left the last public house he visited. _ THE CORONER'S JURY have returned a verdict of " Wilful m►nder" against Campbell and Nicholson, the two women charged with causing the death of Mr. Hall, of Snainton, by pushing him into the Ouse.

Some time since a gentleman named Fanidy bequeathed 241,0001. to found Fellowships in Magdalen College ; the testator providing that, in the event of a refusal by Mag dalen College, then that the legacy might i.e offered to other college in the University, and that in the choke of Fellows preference should be given to the testator's next of kin and his relatives. The bequest had been refused by 3lagdalen College on the terms provided, but it was accepted by St. John's College. The case having been sent to the Master for the approval of a scheme, the Comet suggested that, as the testator's intention was clearly in !avow of Magdalen College, another offer might as well be made to that hotly. This was done ; but their original refusal was adhered to, and Vice-Chancellor Kindersley has just assented to a scheme to transfer the bequest to St. John's College, which has accordingly been done. Tot: ancient annual custom of serving up a boar's head, " gayley bedecked with bays and rosemary," in the hall of Queen's College, was joyously observed on Christmas day. A large party partook of the society's hospitality, including most of the leading members of the University DOW resident in Oxford. Citizens and their country cousins. by the courtesy of the Provost and Fellows. are allowed to be present, and consequently a very large number, as usual, availed themselves of the opportunity of witnessing this very old custom.
