It is supposed that on retiring to his bedroom he was seized with vertigo, and fell against the key in the door-lock ; being a heavy man, the - key inflicted the wound, and his weight acting against it tore away the bone. On the laundress arriving in the morning she immediately called in a surgeon, who attended prorcptly, but life had been extinct above half an hour. The deceased was about 60 years of age. MRS. COLONEL BLOOMER COMING TO ENGLAND. — Mrs: Colonel Bloomer is said to be so gratified at the slight progress Bloomerism has made in England, that she intends visiting U 3 in the spring, accompanied by the gal lant colonel and a brilliant suite of ladies who have adopted the. new costume. A magnificent performance, entitled, Every Day and Every Hour, (illustrative of the innu merable advantages of dress reform,) will, most probably be acted by ti iezzling corps, in one of the London, and ever.al of our principal provincial theatres, and the admis lion will be very considerable.—Bristol paper. _ _ TRELL.-By the death of this gentle man the grave has closed on another of the ornaments of a society of what may be termed conversational wits, whiCh seems 'to be passing away without leaving a new generation of its kind to replace it.

THE PRESERVED MEATS AT CLARENCE YARD.—We hear that it is intended to have an examination of every case of the preserved meats at this yard, that were sup plied by the contractor (17,000 lbs. weight), a portion of whose supplies was a short time since condemned as unfit for human food. Such as are in an unwholesome condi tion will be returned to the contractor, whilst those that are eatable will be given away to the poor of the neigh bourhood (people belonging to the navy and marines hav ing the preference), as being once opened and exposed to the atmospheric influence they become, after a few hours. unfit for food. An examination of this description took place at Deptford a few days since, when out of about 288 cans, only some 50 were found free from putrefaction.-- Hants Telegraph. the Crown for BRIDE " 6 TROUSSEAU r.

Mrs. Horwood was a Miss French, and the articles in question, which were booked to " Miss French," were sent, as directed by her, addressed to her brother. The elder brother became involved in his cir cumstances, and the plaintiffs' bill remained unpaid till this action was recently brought, when the defendants unipsit, and the infancy of Mrs. Horwood, were " ne- pleaded non to which the plaintiffs replied that the goods cessaries suitable to her rank."—The jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs for £BO 6s. 6d. A FACT NOT TO BE OVERLOORED.—The wife of the new Foreign Secretary is an Italian lady of considerable rank and wealth, and, as we hear, a bigotted Papist. In the room, then, of Lord Palmerston, who, with all his faults, has been an English minister, we are now to have a young nobleman, whose nearest connection is a foreigner and a Papist. The person who will be ever at Lord Granville's elbow, and closest to him in his most unguarded hours, will be also, every week, at the feet of a priest ; and that priest one f Dr. Wiseman's nominees. No one who has any acquaintance with the history of Romish intrigues in former reigns will be at any loss to understand the vast importance of this circumstance. Rome has now an active agent ever in the closest possible intimacy with England's Foreign Minister. A snore alarming conjunction could hardly be imagined.—Bell's Messenger. LAUNCHES ON THE THAMES.—On Tuesday last were launched three of the finest ships that ever swam on the river. The first launches were from the building.yard of Messrs. Mare and Co., Blackwell, on whose premises are building at the present moment about £500,000 worth of eteanuships of all classes, and for all countries, including those of England, Spain, Austria, Egypt, and Rome. Those launched on Tuesday were, first, an iron steam yacht for the Pacha of Egypt, of 2,200 tons, to be pro- Polled by machinery of 800 horse.power. The second Vessel was the Lady Jocelyn, screw steamer, built for the General Screw Steam Company, who have the contract for the conveyance of the mails to the Cape of Good Hope. Her burden is 1572 tons, and her engines 300 horse- Power. The third launch was from the building-yard of Messrs. Green, of a ship called the Challenger, designed to compete with the Yankee clippers. DISAPPOINTMENT IN LOVE AND DETERMINED SUI. tTDE—On Thursday last, a rumour became prevalent in Newark, that Miss Sophia Calkwwell, only daughter of Mr. John Calkwell, of Appleton-gate, had committed suicide by hanging herself, and, on inquiry, the report was found to be too true. It appears that for some month s Psat she bad been in a low. desponding way, and bad lately become acquainted with a gentleman to whom she anticipated being married ; however, from some cause or other the match was broken off suddenly, and no doubt this preyed heavily on her feelings, causing her to commit the rash act above described.

CHRISTMAS PARCEL TRAFFIC. — We understand that, of the enormous number of small ,parcels of every conceivable size and variety of contents, which have been delivered in London by the London and Northwestern Railway in the course of this present Christmas week, only two have failed to reach their destination. The supply of open poultry and game, as well as covered hampers, has been altogether remarkable.—Railway Record. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.—The Lord Bishop of Here ford, with his son and chaplain (the Rev. Mr. Cox), and his coachman and footman, had a most providential escape on Monday evening last. His lordship's carriage, drawn by a pair of horses, had just left the palace, and was proceeding up Broad-street, when it came in contact with a hand-truck which had been accidentally left in the road by some person who had come to meet one of the coaches for luggage. The carriage was turned completely over on its side, throwing the footman almost into the shop of Mr. Duggan, druggist, but happily without considerable injury. His lordshi p and the other occupants of the carriage were naturally much alarmed, and extricated themselves from the vehicle as speedily as possible. The coachman was kept in his seat by the leather apron of the carriage, arid he sustained only a slight bruise. Neither the right rev. prelate, his son, nor Mr. Cox, sustained any hurt by the accident, which may in great measure be attributed to the slowness with writh , the horses were being driven. The splinter-bar, one lamp, and the windows of the car riage, were broken.—Hereford Journal. A WOMAN FORBIDDING HER OWN MARRIAGE BANNS. —The Parish Church of Stoke-upon-Trent was, on Sun day morning week, the scene of a strange incident. While the marriage banns for the first time of asking were being read over by the clergyman, on the names of a particular couple being announced, d female rose up in the body of the church, and said, " I forbid those banns, both here and everywhere else." When she began to speak, the beadle, not being aware of her object. shook his wand at her to enjoin silence, but she persisted in "saying her say." The singular part of the affair, however, is, that on her being interrogated as to her reasons, in the vestry, by the Rev. T. Reddall, the officiating minister, after the service was over, it turned out that she herself was one of the very couple whose banns she had forbidden. The intended husband is a Roman Catholic, and she a Protestant, and rumour says, that after their names had been entered in the list of candidates for " holy matrimony," some talk which the bridegroom elect told her he should require her to attend the Roman Catholic chapel, and that their chil dren must be educated in the same faith. Not feeling disposed to come under such an unequal yoke, she wished to break off the match, which she had been led to believe could only be accomplished at the stage to which prepara tory proceedings had arrived, by a public forbidding of the banns, on theirannouncernent in church ,—Staffordsh.Adv.

The number of miles open was, in 1851, 4,214, and in 1850, 4,1144; showing an increase of 994 miles. It will be seen that the gross increase is not so ►arge in the above returns as it. has previously been, but we anticipate that the traffic returns of the past week will more than bring up the balance. COURT AND FASHION. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert left Windsor Castle on Saturday morning, about eleven o'clock, for Buckingham Palace. The Queen and Prince travelled by the Great Western Railway, a special train being in readiness to convey the royal party to the Paddington ter minus, her Majesty and his Royal Highness arriving at the palace at twelve o'clock. Soon after their arrival, the Queen and Prince, attended by their suite, went to Glou cester-house to pay a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, being the first visit her Majesty has made to the royal duchess since the recent demise of the late King of Hanover. After leaving Gloucester house, her Majesty and Prince Albert proceeded to the railway terminus, and returned by special train to Wind. sor, arriving at the castle shortly before two oclock. On Thursday next, being New Year's Day, the Queen's royal bounties will be distributed to the numerous cases of de serving and necessitous poor in the town. of Windsor, and also of Eton and the adjacent neighbourhood. MEETING OF THE PRIVY COUNCIL .1a a nrivv rannril at Win/1....P..0. nt Her Majesty Friday. The Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, and Earl Granville. had audiences of her Majesty.

Luncheon was served to the official circle in the Castle previous to the privy council. THE NEW SECRETARY OF STATE FOR FOREIGN AF FAIRS.--Granville George Leveson-Gower, second Earl Granville, and now her Majesty's secretary of state for foreign affairs, is a comparatively young man, having been born in 1815. He graduated at Christ Church, Oxford ; was for a short time attache to the British embassy in Paris, and subsequently under secretary of state for foreign af fairs ; was appointed a railway commissioner in 1846, in which year he succeeded to the earldom ; master of the Queen's buckhou n d s , J u l y, 18 4 6 ; vice-president of the board of trade, May, 1848 ; was M.P. for Morpeth from February, 1837. to February, 1840, and sat for Lichfield from September, 1841, to January, 1846; was appointed a deputy-lieutenant of .

The first earl was a distinguished diplomatist; he was uncle to the second Duke of Sutherland, and was long known as Lord Gran ville Leveson-Gower. On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last, the Queen's Royal charities to nearly one thousand of aged poor at this season, were distributed at the Almonry, in White hall, under the authority of the Lord Bishop of Oxford, Lord High Almoner, assisted by the Rev.

TWO AMERICAN PACKET-SHIPS LOST, AWFUL SACRIFICE OF LIFE. The subjoined details, communicating the melancholy loss of two fine packet-ships, the Carioca and Tigendenage —the former trading between Glasgow and New York, and the latter between Quebec and London—have been received, by which it will be observed a great many per sons met with a watery grave. The Carioca, it appeared, sailed from Glasgow for New York on the 14th of October last, with a miscellaneous cargo and about forty passen gers. A few days after she encountered changeable wea ther, until the 18th, when a series of heavy gales followed, which eventually occasioned the destruction of the ship, and very nigh the sixty persons who were on board. Re peatedly struck by tremendous seas, she lost her rudder, bulwarks, spars, and several men overboard, among whom was Mr. Campbell, the chief officer, who, we regret to say, perished. In the height of the gale it was discovered the ship had sprung a leak ; so great was it that the whole of the pumps had to be kept in motion to prevent the ves sel sinking, the passengers all assisting. 'For three days and nights they were so engaged. The weather then abated, and the master, Captain Pray, was about making good the spars that had been swept away, when it came to his ears that the leak was rapidly increasing. He now gave up all hopes of saving the ship. He made all sail, and on the 16th of November succeeded in attracting the notice of the Vanguard, which happily bore down imme diately to the rescue of the unfortunate creatures, who were in a most pitiable plight of suffering. On the Van guardcoming up, their boats were lowered, and in a f ew co ntrived to take them all on board without ac cident. The Vanguard proceeded to New York. It is passages believed the Carioca foundered in the course of the same evening. When left by the Vanguard, which was in lat. 44 15, long. 45 40, she had 10 feet of water in her hold. The vessel was insured to the extent of £15,000. The fate of the Tigendenage was far more distressing. She was quite a new ship, of 500 tons burden. She sailed from Quebec for London on the 19th of November, there being on board about 30 persons. On her passage down the St. Lawrence she encountered a heavy snow-storm, in the course of which she got ashore on the north side, near Corrobo Island. The instant she struck, the sea swept over the vessel, compelling th e cr ew awl those on board to take to the rigging, the only place of refuge. Here they had been but a few hours before the main and fore masts broke away, and fell overboard. There were 18 poor fellows either lashed to, or clinging to the rigging, the whole of whom met with a watery grave. The mas ter (Capt. Redolphl, the mates, and the remainder of the ship's company, who were lashed to the other parts of the re wck, after upwards of 20 h ours ' fearful suffering, were rescued by a boat sent off from a schooner called the St. I Helene. The ship became a total wreck. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.

Gillbee, Vicar f Gwennap, Cornwall, was upset, on his return from Sandford, in one of the narrow outrigging skiffs now in vogue, soon after he had passed the lock at Tilley. The first notice of the accident was a passer by on the towing path seeing the boat in the water turned upside down—drags were immediately procured, and the body of the young man drawn out. Medical aid was obtained, but too late to be of use. The Inverness Courier believes the honour of having her Majesty within the princely balls of Dunrobin Castle may be looked for next year. Active preparations are going on with the view of nutting the grounds and the out-buildings in a tasteful condition, and a number of masons are in constant employment. Whatever disap pointment the repeated postponement of the Queen's visit may have occasioned in any quarter. the delay in the realisation of this honor to Sutherland has not been bar ren of good fruits to the workpeople in the neighbourhood. tinople Camillus,, Vickers, and Centurion, Coombs, hence at New 1 York.
