EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-70n Friday last a fine boy of five years old, named Pi enderwell, was brought to Guy's Hospital after having drunk boiling water from the spout of a teakettle.

THE PREMIER'S PROPERTY.—AR article in the Dub lin Mail last week that Sir Robert had " a capital ex ceeding a million erobirked in train," has given rise to many conflicting opinions. It has recalled to the minds of the oldest and most intelligent men of business the ce lebrated advice given to Sir Robert Peel, by his respected father, when the former, was urging the resumption of cash payments, with great zeal and talent, before the " Bullion Committee" in 1819. " Your opinions " (said the father) are founded on plausible theories and fallacies —the result will immeasurably differ from what you be lieve. Your calculations, and tho of Mr. Ricardo, are erroneous, and exhibit your want of practical knowledge It is not only a bold experiment, hut will involve thou sands in total ruin.

Oa Monday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley ; and, from the evidence adduced, there could be no doubt that a savage murder had been committed, and that the de ceased had been robbed of a gold watch and other articles. Upon bim was found a letter from a female, who signed herself " Caroline." and requested Mr. Delarue to meet her at the place where they had spent.so many half-hours together, as she had something of the first importance to communicate. The inquest was adjourned. It is said that some clue bas been obtained likely to lead to the dis covery of the murderers, supposed to be three men. broken, it There were also but they could not ienry Hooker, a young man, of about twenty five years of age, in the same profession as the deceased and an intimate acquaintance, is in custody on suspicion story is, that Delarue gave it to him, at ten o'clock on Friday morning, to get it sold for him. The prisoner bad also duplicates of pledged pr , perty belonging to the de ceased. He underwent an examination on Wednesday, and was remanded till this day. The police, in a further search of the premises where the prisoners lived, have discovered amongst some rubbish a diamond ring, of which he at onee gave them inform ition, and accompa nied Inspector furlong of the S division, to the Maryle bone Police-court, when the ring was exhibited to the lereased brother, who at once identified it. On Kirtfie;;;;;;fl being made the gold chain described by Mr. Daniel De larue as being attached to his brother's watch when he last saw him alive was discovered, and there are here and there spots of blood clearly indicating that it was taken from the body after the murder was perpetrated. Another highly-important discovery has been made. Amongst the papers at the supposed murderer's lodgings has been discovered an exact copy of the letter, signed " Caroline," and on their being compared, the handwrit ings (which have been proved to be those of Thos. Henry' Rocker) in both are identical. The letter found on de ceased's person had the envelope stained with blood, and the inference, therefore, is that on the murderer disco. vering what it was he returned it to the deceased's pocket, in order to allay suspicion. A third black kid glove, co vered with blood, was found in the clothes of the deceased, and on it being compared with the one discovered by the police at Hocker'a residence, it is found exactly to match. The inquest was resumed on Saturday, when the prisoner was again absent, Mr. Kilsby, the gaoler of the New Prison, having in compliance with the general erder of the visiting justices, refused to send him before the coro ner. Mr. Wakley said he was in the bands of the jury, and would proceed if they thought fit, though he bad al ready expressed his opinion of the impropriety of such course. The majority of the jury were strongly opposed to proceeding with the investigation in the absence of the prisoner, and the inquiry was again adjourned. NATIONAL EDUCATION-THE BISHOPS, THE CLERGY AND THE PEOPLE. (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) It is with the highest pride and gratification that we this day publish the several important documents, with reference to the above-named topics, which we shall, each in due place, subjoin—documenls which are calculated to encourage in the paths of principle and duty those faith ful and truly Christian churchmen who have hitherto, rt gardless of worldly profit or preferment, walked in the right way : and to cheer the lately downcast spins of our Protestant people, by proving to them that, whilst we have leaders who are not, thank God I afraid to make the trumpet speak with a most certain sound, we have also thousands through our land waiting ly I , r such a call to declare themselves on the side of the church, in her faithful straggle for the unfettered use of the Holy Bible. The first of these documents is the address from the united diocese of Down and Connor and Dromore, to his Grace the Lord Primate, and those other Prelates, who lately signed the , declaration of their lordship's sentiments respecting the education of the poor in Ireland : "May it please your lordships,—We, whose names are hereunto affixed, resident in the united dioceses of Down and Connor and Dromore, deeply anxious concerning the `education of the poor in Ireland,' and sincerely ' inte rested in the maintenance and extension' of seriptUral schools throughout our land, beg leave to tender to your lordships our grateful thanks for the 'counsel and sur ' upon this imporant subject, which, under th , guidance and blessing of Almighty God.' you ha.- ' enabled lately to affor "To the sentimer forth in your lordships' address we desire most cordially to respond.

It turned out that the fire-place had sunk into an old well, that had been built upon for more than half a century. The aperture left is about six feet in diameter, and the depth, as far as can b( tained for the debris. 60 feet, and containing a great quan tity of water. Considering the proximity of Mrs. Kimp ton and ber children to the well, their escape may be re garded as most providential.—Cambridge Advertiser. till sea v be con , ccupied t You I r than GENERAL Jared nc to leave it alt iisinter the hod The cus- torn was uried, chop them up and burn ,r Penny stated that a petition, signed by 150 of the inhabitatiti of Cfriken- thtin in this hoz I Insr well, having been pre court on the subject, hi his hands. lie went tt rahip had put die matter into up, and some of their 'eetly sound, and som He 'had been a a large quantity of coffins brol burning.

The smell was horrible. Mr. Cornhe advised the parties would, he felt convinced, bring the parties under his ju risdiction. The parties thanked the magistrate and left the court. We should like to see the parties who could be guilty of practices so revolting to humanity and decency and involving so much of danger to the health and lives of the people of a whole neighbourhood placed in the pillory.
