The following details are taken from a Report of the Say ings Banks of Paris, made a few days ago by M. Benjamin Delessert, President of that establishment, at the general meeting of the directors and administrators The accounts of 1833 afford results still more satisfactory than those of the preceding year, and prove the constant pro gress of this fine institution. The total number of deposits in the year 1833 was FRANCS. 141,741, amounting to a sum of 8,733,000 The preceding year the amount was . 3,643,000 Increase in 1833.. 5,090,000 The amount of reimbursements iu 1833 was 3,066,000 In the preceding year From this it appears that the deposits of 1833 were double those of 1832, whilst the reimbursements were only in the pro portion of a third; so that in 1832 the excess of the sums de posited over those paid out was only 1,442,000 Whilst in 1833 this excess was 5,667,000 So that the sums received by the Savings Banks in 1833 were four times greater than 1632. The sum due to the depositors on December 31, 1832 6,548,103f. 28c. On December 31, 1833 12,581,367 f. 47c. The rapid augmentation in the number of depositors is re markable : In 1831 there were but 4,916 new books. 1832 8,160 1833 16,891 Upon the Savings Banks in the departments, which have been encouraged by the directors of the Paris establishment, we find the following information in the same report : From 1818 to 1830 there were established only 11 Banks. In 1832 there were opened 4 _ 1833 , 1 534 20 Total.. Applications for permission to open similar establish ments have been made to the number of 39 86 There will consequently be soon in full activity eighty-six Saving Banks. These departmental establishments will cot-- respond with the central one in Paris, and to the annual report of this latter will be added a statement of the principal results of the former. . . 47 APOTHECARIES' HALL.—Names of gentlemen to whom the Court of Examiners granted certificates of qualifi cation on Thnrsday last :—James Boulton, of Staffordshire ; John Elliot Catley, of Cambridge ; George Frederick Cod rington, of Dorsetshire ; James Slap Garthon, of Norwich ; John Moss Kirkman, of Manchester; Charles John Rudkin, of Brigg ; Robert Wood Thacker, of Staffordshire. On Thursday, according to annual custom, the newsmen held their anniversary festival at the White Conduit house. About 300 persons sat down to an excellent dinner. The usual appropriate songs and toasts were given, and the " Liberty of the Press" was received with nine rounds of ap plause. A ball took place in the evening. At the Winchester race ball last week, the floor, instead of being chalked, as heretofore, was covered with fine pink coloured cambric, tightly strained, with the arms of the St eward (T. C. Chamberlayne, Esq.) emblazoned in• the centre. The French General Devaux, who has played a prominent part in the East, and who was Commander-in-chief of the Persian armies, and the. army of the Pacha of Bagdad. died lately at Kermanchah. He is said to have been poisoned by the Government of the country. MURDEROUS ATTA CK UPON A POLICE CON STABLE.—On Thursday evening about half-past ten o'clock as police constable Lynn, cf the A division, was on duty in Hyde park, he was accosted by two Men, who asked him if Cumber land Gate was open ; he replied that he believed it was, and walked on ; he, however, had scarcely turned his back before one of the cowardly wretches felled him to the ground with a bludgeon. Lynn. who is a powerful young man, recovered himself, and was again knocked down by the villains, and beaten in a most dreadful manner ; he at last got his staff out of his pocket, and struck one of his assailant s on the right arm, whi c h a pp e ared to quite disable him. H e t h en sprung his rattle, a n d th re e gentlemen appearing in the di stance, t h e cowardly assassins made a hasty retreat and escaped. Lynn appears to have been most shockingly used, his right shoulder is put out of joint, and he will be unable to resume his duty for some days to come. WAR-OFFICE, JULY 11.

LADY CHARLOTTE BURY.—" The new work called The Disinherited,' by the authoress of ' Flirtation,' says the Court Journal, "i s th e pro d uct i on o f a pure an d ele gant mind—of a mind deeply imbLed with a sense of the beau tiful, the lovely, and the good in nature. The story of Disinherited' is tenderly, to uc hi ng l y, exquisitely told; and, by the skill of the writer—the in c id en t s a ll r i s i ng out of, and con necting with, one another, in th e s i mp l est an d most una ffected manner possible—the denouement is concealed till nearly the closing page. And it is not f or us t o perpetrate an ac t of in justice upon either author or reader by a premature disclosure of the secret ; the seeker shall find, ana in finding his labour — his very labour a pleasure—still be amply repaid." The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. Petitions, praying for protection to the Church, were pre sented by Lords ROLLE, DYNEVOR, and several other Peers. The Earl of RADNOR said he had been desired to with draw the notice relative to the Warwick Bill, given for that night by the Earl of Durham, who was prevented from attending by the illness of his Lady. He took the same opportunity of stating that he was most anxious to go on with the Liverpool Disfranchisement Bill, but in the present state of things, and at that advanced period of the session, he was in the hands of their Lordships. After a lengthened conversation between the Noble Earl, the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Cumberland, and Lord Wharncliffe, the subject was d roppe d, on t h e un d erstan di ng that it should be renewed on Tuesday next. The order of the day for the second reading of the Warwick Borough Bill was then discharged. THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH. The Earl of WINCHILSEA presented petitions in favour of the Established Church. The Duke of GLOUCESTER presented a petition from Great Yarmouth to the same effect. Lord. SUFFIELD presented a petition from the farmers of Lambert Briggs, ii, the County of Lincoln, praying that some punishment might be inflicted short of death upon those who were convicted and found guilty of arson. CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS BILL. On the motion of Lord SUFFIELD, the Order of the Day for the second reading of this Bill was discharged. POOR LAW AMENDMENT BILL. The Earl of MALMESBURY presented a Petition, pray ing the House to postpone the second reading of the Poor Law Amendment Bill till next Session. Lord KENYON presented petitions from the parishes of St. John, Wapping, St. Luke's, and St. Marylebone, against the Poor Law Amendment Bill. THE MINISTRY. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY seeing the Noble Earl ( Grey) opposite in his place, merely wished to say a few words with regard to what passed last night. He thoUght that when measures were being brought forward, such as that which, was about to be brought forward that evening, (the Poor Law Amendment Bill) they ought to know who were the responsible advisers of the Crown— ( Hear.) The Noble Lord on the Woolsack had admitted last night (as he understood) that it was usual for Parliament to adjourn until a responsible Government was formed, and he thought there could not be much diversity of opinion that that would be the proper course to take on the present occasion. He had received various communications relative to the Bill he had referred to, from the county of Durham, and the magistrates of that county had stated to him that it was one of the most injurious and one of the most audacious Bills that could possibly be passed by the Legislature. Under these circumstances he did think it became their Lordships seriously to consider whether, after the example of the other House of Parliament, which had thought fit to ad journ the House for a period, in which the Administration might be formed, it was not their - duty to adjourn for the pre sent. He stated this individually, and contrary to the wish of many Noble Lords on his side the House ; but his feeling was, that they ought not to proceed, under existing circum stances, with any important measure. Earl GREY said that no man was more unwilling than, himself that a Bill of so much importance should be postponed. He had stated on a former occasion the reasons which induced him to except this Bill from the other measures which had been brought before the House. He considered it as no party question.—( Great cheering.) It was true that it involved great considerations, and he had considered it his duty, circum stanced as he was, to bring it before the House.—( Hear, hear.) If their Lordships thought that the incomplete state of the Government made it unadvisable to bring it before the House, he should at once bow to that decision. He must, however, say that his course was quite clear, and it was only with their Lordships to say whether the discussion upon the Bill should go on or not. If their Lordships should think that the second reading of the Bill ought to take place, but that the Bill ought not to go into a committee, he must say, it would be much better that the Bill should be postponed until a more favourable opportunity presented itself of bringing it be fore their Lordships. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he thought the House could not do better than abide by the sense and opinion of his Noble Friend. The greatest incon venience and mischief to the country would follow if the second reading of this most salutary and remedial measure should be in the least degree put in jeopardy during the present session.—( Hear.) If he thought it would be so, he should be the last person even to consult the convenience of his Noble Friend. The Duke of CUMBERLAND, who spoke in a very low tone, was understood to express his opinion that the House ought not to proceed. The Duke of WELLINGTON could not agree with the proposal of his Noble Friend the Earl of Malmesbury, that the Bill should be postponed until next session, because he thought there was time enough this session to dispose of it.— ( Hear.) His Noble Friend opposite (Earl Grey) proposed that the Bill should not be considered to-day on account of the state of the Ministry, and to that proposal he would offer no objection ; but there was a most important point in this Bill, viz.—the appointment of Commissioners, and, above all, the selection of them.--( Hear, hear.) Certainly it was most desirable that before the House should come to a deci sion upon that point, that it should know who were to be those persons. The Earl of WINC H IL SE A agreed with the Noble Duke that it ought to be known who were to be the Commissioners, and he should also very much like to know in whom their a ppointment was to be vested. Lord ELLENBOR 0 UGH said that the difficulty on this point might be obviated by simply mentioning the names of the commissioners in the Bill. He could not but do full justice to th e N o bl e Earl opposite, and to the motive of his Majesty's late Government for bringing forward the Bill.—( Hear.) Ile thought it did them great credit, for H although they had incurr e d n uc h o di um, an d run t h e r i s k of great unpopularity, they d e t erm i ne d to b r i ng i t f orwar d, b ecaus e they thought th ey would be doing good to the countr y —(ear, hear.) What ever mig ht h ave b een th e ir a t large. o ther acts, he believed thi s Bi ll would effect the happiness of the great majority of th e commun i ty- 4 Hear, hear.) Although the Noble Ea r l oppos i te had wished for a short post ponement, it was still comp etent f or hi s N o b le F r i en d to b r i ng forward his motion, but h e must say t h at t h e postponement of this measure to anoth er sess i on wou ld not b e a great public misfortune.—( Hear, hear, hear.) No matter whether the late Government should be re-constructed, or a new Go vernment formed, he thought it would be to the interest of any Government that possibly could be formed, to propose some amendments on the principle of this Bill. He was therefore most anxious that the Bill should be proceeded with this Session. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said, the Bill was so very important, affecting as it did the rights and property of every landholder in the kingdom, that it ought not to be pro ceeded in without a responsible Ministry being in existence. He had no wish that it should be postponed till next Session, but he certainly could not see that the House could properly proceed with the measure till the Ministry was settled. Earl GREY said he must state, as he had done before, that he stood entirely subject to the decision of the House. The Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack had proposed that the decision should be left to him, he must oppose that, as he thought their Lordships would see that it would place him in a very invidious situation--( Cheers.) He must admit there was an inconvenience in bringing forward such a measure while there was no Ministry really in exist ence.—( Hear, hear.) He, however, must say that he did not see that any more responsibility attached to the Noble Lord who proposed the measure, than would to any other of their Lordships.—( Cheers.) In consequence of what had fallen from the Noble Duke, and the Noble Lord, he was very much inclined to postpone the discussion till another administration was formed, for certainly, as the Commissioners under the Bill would pos sess great and extraordinary powers, it was but reasonable that the House should know who were to have the election of them.—( Hear, hear, and Cheers.) Let who would be Ministers he was certain in the selection, they would look at nothing but the fitness of the persons they proposed, because upon their conduct would certainly depend the working and success of the measure—( Hear)-- ( Cheers.) The Noble Lord had proposed that the Com missioners should be named in the Bill, but he (Earl Grey) would not agree to that, as it certainly would be very in convenient to discuss the merits of individuals in that House.—( Hear.) Therefore he would not object to the discussion upon the bill being postponed, but he would suggest to the House that it would perhaps be better to take the discussion upon the motion of the Noble Earl opposite (Malmesbury) and decide whether it should be postponed or not—( Cheers)—and then if the House decided, as he trusted they would, that it should be proceeded in that session, the further consideration of it might be postponed till the Go vernment was settled. The Earl of MALMESBURY said if the motion for the second reading was not made, his resolution, which he meant to propose as an amendment, could have no effect. The amendment was to this effect, " That at so late a period of the Session a Bill so new in principle, so deeply interesting to all classes of the community, and so complicated in its details, should not be proceeded in, but allowed to remain over till next Session." He was not, however, prepared to take the initiative. How would such a proceeding look on their Jour nals ? His object was not to make a display, but to have the Bill left over for due consideration to another Session. It was his opinion that some legislative measure was necessary upon the subject ; but were they, because some abuses existed, to proceed with so sweeping a change as this? If a man was slightly indisposed, would it not be better to apply some mild and safe medicine than have recourse to new and dangerous medicines ? It was not a statesmanlike way of proceeding. It should be recollected that in many places great improve ments had been made in the administration of the present sys tem of Poor Laws. He himself, as well as his Noble Friend (Lord Kenyon), presented many petitions setting forth that such improvement had taken place. There was no such urgent necessity, therefore, for pressing forward the measure till next session. Many months could not elapse till Parliament met again. An opportunity would thus be afforded of holding con verse with their neighbours, and with all parties interested, to ascertain what were their opinions and feelings upon the sub ject. There was not one in a hundred who yet fully under stood it, or was aware of the conseonences. Many useful hints and suggestions might be received in the meantime, be cause there were numbers of intelligent ram who had made the subject of the Poor Laws their study, and who had looked attentively at this measure, not alone men of landed property, but persons connected with trade and commerce. Besides other objections to the Bill, he considered the Magistracy of the country to have been very ill-treated in it. The prin ciple now acted upon was, that the rate-payers themselves voted the money and superintended the disbursement and ap plication of it. This was the just principle. Under this Bill they would vote the money certainly, but the administration of it was to be put in the hands of Commissioners. His principle in this business was non-interference. Let the rate payers themselves vote and disburse the money. The crying objection to it, however, was, that no appeal was left to the poor man against the overseer. In fact, the provision of the Bill was, that the overseers should not .give relief out of the workhouse. What would be the situation of the poor under such circumstances? Overseers were not generally supposed to be very tender-hearted. From Mr. Chadwick's evidence it would appear that four of them out of every thirty four acted harshly. Never was such a measure proposed be fore in any free country. They were now, on the 11th of July, and after s;tting from the 4th of February, going into a question so important in principle and so complicated in de tail that it would be utterly impossible to dispose of it in a way satisfactory to themselves or the country. Even if he were friendly to the Bill he would still say the best mode of pro ceeding would be to send it to a Committee up stairs. It would have no chance of full and fair consideration in a Com mittee of the whole House, which he might say was chaos per sonified. If the second reading should be agreed to, the next step he would propose was to send it to a Committee up stairs. In that way they would have the benefit of the opinions and suggestions of many Noble Lords who, though not in the habit of speaking, were very competent, from reflection and experience, to give useful advice in a matter of this kind. No person could tell whether an Administration could be formed before the close of the present month, and if they were to sit through August and September it would not be sufficient to bring a measure of this kind to a satisfactory close. The Duke of RICHMOND said it was because the Com missioners had made their report, and the overseers and rate payers were already acquainted with the nature , and objects of the Bill, that he was anxious to have it pass this session. If the Bill did not pass in the present session, the consequence would be that the overseers would endeavour, without the Bill, to carry its clauses into operation--would consider the refusal of relief out of the workhouse to be the law, and act upon it. The Bill went more gradually to work than the overseers would be disposed to do. The guardians under this Bill would have the same power the overseers now had, and be enabled to grant relief in certain cases out of the workhouse. Even under the Act of Queen Elizabeth the overseers might refuse relief if they were willing to receive the applicant into the workhouse. Though very anxious that the Bill should pass this session, he was disposed to postpone it until an Adminis tration was formed. The Earl of WINCHIL SE A said that he agreed with his Noble Friend who spoke last, that it would be a most serious injury to the country if this Bill were to go over to another session. Very false statements had gone abroad, and false impressions made on the minds of people, as to the spirit, the principle, and the details of this Bill. By part of the public press it was grossly misrepresented, and every effort made to defeat it. He was prepared now to vote for the second read ing, though he would not pledge himself to the support of all the clauses. In advocating a measure like this for the amend ment of the Poor Laws, though as a landowner he might be considered as personally interested in it, he could put his hand to his heart and declare that his great object was the welfare of the poor and labouring classes.--( Hear.) To whatever decision their Lordships might come upon the Bill as a whole, whether they would proceed with it this session or postpone it till the next, he had no hesitation in saying that there was one part of it which ought to pass immediately : he meant that part of it which threw open the labour market—( Hear, hear), and did not confine men who were willing to work to their own parishes. If the object could not be effected in this Bill during the present session, it ought to be made the subject of a separate bill, which might be disposed of without much de lay. There were other Farts of the Bill, to which he would not now advert, which he looked upon as likely to prove ex tremely beneficial. It was owing to the maladministration of the Poor Laws in this country, and not to the laws themselves, that they had become a curse in place of being a blessing. The principle of giving relief out of the workhouse had been abused ; but he should regret to see the practice entirely done away with. He should not wish to see the honest industrious man, who perhaps had been once respectable and happy, but reduced to misfortune through no fault of his own, placed on the same footing with the spendthrift who had squandered his property in dissipation, or the idler who was unwilling to work. No question could be more deeply interesting to the country than this. He hoped it would not be discussed as a party question—( Hear, hear), and that neither misrepresentation nor intimidation would be allowed to have the least effect in deciding upon it. The Marquis of SALISBURY said _the Bill had been re- presented in a very odious light. It was certainly objection able in many parts, but it would not be difficult to introduce such amendments as would soften down the harshness of some of its provisions. He would recommend to the Noble Earl (Grey) to withdraw his motion for the present, or to post pone it till an Administration was formed. The Earl of HARE WOOD regretted that so very im portant a measure did not come before them earlier in the session. It would be better to postpone it till next session. The delay of a few months could make no great difference, particularly now when the abuses of the Poor Laws were diminishing rather than increasing. He wished it to be postponed principally because, from the particular circum stances of the time, it was, in his opinion, impossible it could get in the present session all the consideration it de served. Evdn though an administration was speedily formed, many circumstances would prevent them from giving such a measure as this all the attention its importance required. A new Administration must necessarily have a great variety of cares upon them besides this Bill, looking to the general interests of the country, and considering both what had al ready been done and what was to be done hereafter. He could not support the second reading because he objected to the principle of the Bill. That principle was to give to Commissioners the whole administration o f th e P oor Laws. This would lead to a breach of that ConneciiOn which _ hitherto existed between the poor and the magistracy and better classes of society, a breach from which he was greatly apprehensive that much evil would arise. The Order of the Day was then discharged, and, on the motion of the Earl of WINCIIELSEA, that day se'nnight was fixed for the second reading. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY hoped the Adminis tration would be fixed by that time.—Adjourned. The Memorial Dieppois of the 4th inst. mentions, that a very serious accident occurred on the Ist inst., at the sawing mill of M. Mouillard. M. Theroude, the foreman, was occupied in putting to rights some of the machinery, when his left arm became entangled in one of the leathern straps that set the wheels in motion. He was drawn up to the ceil ing, in which position his left arm was first broken above the elbow, and then completely severed from the body, when he fell to the ground from a height of ten feet. In the very pain ful surgical operation which afterwards followed he evinced unshaken fortitude. and his state, though dangerous, still leaves room to hope for his discovery. THE DEAF AND DUMB IN ZUHICII.—Accor- ding to a recent census made of the population of the Canton of Zurich, it appears that in a population of 220,000 souls, the number of deaf and dumb persons amounts to 225. This is about the proportion observable in other countries • that is to say, about one deaf and dumb person in 1,000. One case is recorded of a girl eleven years of age, who was not only deaf and dumb, but blind also ; so that she had no means of receiving sensation but by the smell and touch. Of the total number of deaf and dumb above mentioned, there were 169 who, with the exception of deafness and the deprivation of speech—the consequence of the want of the faculty of hear ing—had no other infirmity, either corporal or intellectual, and were therefore fully capable of receiving education. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT IN RUSSELL-SQUARE. —Yesterday morning at half-past thr ee o ' c l oc k, a d rea df u l and melancholy accidnt occurred in Russell-square, to John Pallister, a fine young man, warehouseman, in the employ of Messrs. Gordon and Knight, extensive distillers, residing in Goswell-street-road, under the following circumstances : The unfortunate man had been engaged with a fellow-servant removing some wine from the residence of Mr. Gordon, Fins bury-circus, to No. 40, Gower-street, Bedford-square. After having delivered the wine, they were returning for more, and were sitting on one of the empty baskets, in the waggon, which contained upwards of forty baskets of three dozen bottles each, when suddenly the baskets overturned, and both men were precipitated from a considerable height on to the stones, where they lay in a state of insensibility. After a considerable time had elapsed, with the assistance of the wag goner and the police, one of them recovered his senses, and was enabled to proceed home ; but his unfortunate fellow servant was removed in a cab (in a state of total insensibility , having sustained a dreadful concussion on the brain) to Mid dlesex Hospital, where the unfortunate sufferer lies without the least hopes of recovery. H e was particularly respected Some firm by his employers, and also by all his fellow-workmen years since, his father, who was a traveller to a i S n York shire, was waylaid and murdered by some robbers. 27;c7.-,:r /311:7 - ra . ::„.. a mar, fcr a considerable len,Ttla cf t:rtre engaged in defrauding the public by this flattering artifice, was tried on an indietrkent for the offence. On the 4th of June, 'as a young woman named Ross, the prosecutrix in this case, was walking along Blackfriars-road, she observed the prisoner stoop down and pick up a small package. Upon his obtaining possession of it he assumed an air of concealment, and walked on at a quicker rate than he did previously. Having proceeded along for some distance he turned round to the prosecutrix, who was a short distance in the rear, and, addressing her, said that he had picked up a prize. He then opened a small paper parcel and exhibited a pair of splendid-looking earrings, and likewise produced a bill of parcels, in which the article was set down to the purchaser at .5/. 18s. 6d. He then said that he did not want such expensive jewellery for any member of his family, and strongly recommended the ear rings to Miss Ross, urging her to become a purchaser, and flattering her vanity by a declaration that he was convinced the wearer of them must look captivating. The prosecutrit liked the appearance of the earrings, and said that she should like to buy them if she had money enough, but she was afraid that she had not. " How much have you ?" said the pri soner, " Only 55." answered Miss Ross. " Oh! that will never do," said the prisoner, shaking his head, " You must at least give me 21. for an article that you see yourself is valued at .5/. IBs. 6d. in the bill of parcels." While the krgaining was going forward a man walked up to the pri soner, and offered him his price for the car-rings ; but the latter declined having any transactions with the pretended stranger, and at length consented to take the money prose cutrix offered for them in the first instance. Unluckily, however, for the prisoner he was closely watched during the whole of the above proceeding by policeman Andrews, of the M division, who knew him to be a notorious " ring dropper," and to have been in the habit of practising the imposition, especially upon the female portion of the com munity. The policeman, on wit nes si ng w h a t h a d h a pp ene d, immediately went up and took the prisoner into custody. The intrinsic value of the earrings was found not to exceed 6d. The CHAIRMAN should put the law into full force on this occasion, and transport the prisoner for seven years, as an example to other ring-droppers with which this great City abounded.

It is reported that an order is about to be issued from the Horse Guards for the substitution of trowsers for kilts in the Highland Regiments. A remarkable effect of lightning occurred, a few days ago, at Liege. The electric fluid entered a workshop, and slightly wounded a workman in the foot, and it was ob served that his shoe was pierced from the heel to the toe ; it then scattered about some tools that were on a bench, without touching another workman that was close by. All the win dows were broken, the lead of the roof melted, and two stone posts of the gateway shattered to pieces. On Thursday morning, between two and three o'clock, a stack of straw, on the premises of Mr. Webster, farmer, in the parish of Spalding, was discovered to be on fire. The Spalding engines and sufficient help were quickly on the spot, and through the successful application of the en gines, the fire was confied to the straw-stack and o ne o f fag gots, which were wholly consumed. A barn (thatched), containing between forty and fifty quarters of newly-thrashed wheat, was preserved, though the flakes of fire frequently reached both it and the dwelling-house. It is supposed that the firing of the barn was the object of the incendiary. Mr. Webster is one of the overseers of the poor of Spalding, for the present year.—Boston Herald. On Sunday last this town was visited by two of the most heavy falls of rain ever remembered. In the course of the previous night it rained for several hours, but shortly before ten o'clock on Sunday morning, it descended in torrents, and with such rapidity, for upwards of a quarter of an hour, that it was impossible the drains could carry the water off fast enough, and, consequently, a very large number of kitchens and cellars in various parts of the town were inundated, some to the depth of more than four feet ; several individuals sustaining serious loss. After the storm had in some degree abated, numerous persons were compelled to commence clearing out their resi dences, which in many instan ces h a d scarce l y b een accom plished, when a second storm ensued (about three o'clock in the afternoon), and the rain fell more violently than before, accompanied by much thunder and lightning, and in many places the previous damage was much increased.—Cambridge Chronicle. THE EFFECTS OF TIIE LATE STORM AT KEN SINGTON.—During the storm on Sunday last a poor woman, named Margaret Gudgeon, living at No. 4, James-street, Ken sington, was struck by lightning whilst bringing some water from a pump. She was knocked down, two of her teeth were knocked out of her, and her body was covered with bruises; she was assisted home, and partially recovered, but has not since been able to leave her bed, and has spat blood ever since. Mrs. Code, the wife of a musician, residing in Church-court, Kensington, was also struck by lightning, and it was two hours before she, in any degree, recovered ; she has been ill ever since. Several other persons in the same neighbourhood have also suffered from the effects of the lightning. LOVE, DESPERATION, AND SUICIDE.—The in habitants of Crediton were much alarmed on Thursday night last, in consequence of the discovery that two young persons had committed suicide by poisoning themselves, at the Royal Oak Inn, in that town. It appeared that two respectable-look ing young persons, a man and woman, each about the age of twenty-two years, came to the above Inn as lodgers on Mon day week last. Nothing in their conversation or manner tended to excite any suspicions with the landlord, either with regard to their connection or circumstances. They arose ge nerally at a late hour in the morning, evinced much attach ment towards each other, walked out together during the day, were very moderate in their mode of living, and retired at a seasonable hour to bed. On Thursday last, however, the land lady of the Inn, not finding them down stairs-at their usual hour, knocked at their bed-room d o or, an d was answere d by the emale " that they should be down presently ;" but their not appearing by two o'clock in the afternoon, the landlady sent her son to the bed-room door to remind them of the hour, and he was then answered by one of them, which he did not distinctly hear. Nothing further was thought of them until the evening, when the landlady became greatly alarmed at their non-appearance, and again knocked at the bed-room door ; receiving no reply she burst it open, when, hearing a deep moan, she immediately ran down stairs s r u om ce p e 2 for assistance. O n her re t ur n w ith two other persons they wash ou t ) discovered the man quite dead, and the female in a dying state, locked in each other's arms. procured, and the stomach-pump apple ed d, ic b a u l t a w id it On the table was found a pint bottle, with the remains of laudanum in it, and there is no doubt that each of them had voluntarily taken a considerable portion of this deadly drug. e ared that they were rec en tl y marr i ed; that A Coroner's Inquest was h eld on their bodies on Saturday last, when_ it mop the match was disapproved of by the father of the young man, and was clandestinely made ; that they were destitute of money; and that the husband had purchased a pint of lauda num some days before at a druggist's shop in Exeter, and had premeditated self-destruction. It .was also proved on the In quest that the man's name was Samuel Margerie ; that he was a clock and watchmaker, at Heavitree, near Exeter • and that his wife was a respectable young woman from Woodbury, J and lately fill e d th e s i tuation of lady's maid with a respectable family re s id ent at Dawlish. The J ury i n eac h ease brought in a verdict of " Felo de se ;" and the Coroner ordered their bodies to be interred at midnight, pursuant to , the Act of Parliament, without the usual funeral rites.— Western Luminary.
