SHOCKING SrIcIDE or A PRISONER.

On Monday last week William Holt, aged 11, who
described himself as 3 gentleman, and who gave the
address Ihmstan illi, Toiletry, Worcestershire, mos
I glit up on a warrant eharged with uttering a forged
elusion, for £l5, and thereby defrauding Mrs. Mary Ann
Gregory, of the Norfolk Hotel awl Wine Company, Nor.
folk-square, l'adolington.—The aeensed, now oleeeaseol, had
been stopping at the above hotel for ;Mlle time, awl had
been pressed for payment by Mrs. Gregory. He stated as
an excuse that he was disamsointed throogh his lawyer,
Mr. Paulo% not sending him money. Mrs. Gregory lent
him during his stay at tee betel various sums of money,
which amo ttttt ted in all t. Clot His wife and children were
aim) staying in the hotel. Ile gave Mrs. Gregory a cheque
drawn on the London awl County Bank, Covent-garden
Branch, awl it WWI returne.l. bearing "N. account," The
very day be hod given the odosoole fr £lshe gave 11111 onler
on his lawyer for teso, which was not honoured. Another
cheque for £2 It,. was drawn on the London and County
Dank, and given too the billionl marker of the hotel in
payment of borrowed money for the use of the billiard
Ode. The prisoner never had any account at the London
awl County Dank, and on Saturday last he was taken into
custody, and the magistrate, on the application of Mr.
531111.0 n, refused to take 101 l for the prisoner's appearance.
-on the cane being caned Monday. Mr. LYall, the second
clerk, read a certificate stating that the deceased died in
the lionise of Detention at ten o'clock on the 19th instant.
Mr. Liggins said he W 34 instnieted to prosecute the
dere:hoed, who wa, a captain in the army. Ile had been
told that the prisoner had committed suicide by elating
lois abdomen open with it knife which was given to Min to
eat his food with on Wednesday loot—Mr. D'Eyncourt
iii it was a ai ending of the case, and the matter then
dropped.

A most brutal kieking ease has just come to light at
liuheal, a little village a few miles from Nottingham. A
navvy. named Enoch Kinder, went home drunk and
quarrelled with his wife. His stepdaughter, who wail far
advanced is Pregnancy, interfered, and in consequence
the man swore at her, anil then kicked her so violently in
the stomach that she died the main. night.

LONDDH mot now oullfen tag from two forrns of manta,
both imported from America. I refer to skating rinks
awl spelling bees. Of rinks we have now about a score,
and of bees there are a dozen every night. The hitter
illustrates two peculiarities, a vett amount of assurance
on the part of einupetitors whose education is exceedingly
indifferent, and an ignorance of spelling the most simple
words which is positively surprioing. A few evenings ago
I wax present at one of these gatherings in the school of
St. Bernabaa, Claplutin. The cheery vicar, who presided
offered a few remarks in favour of the system of public
competition of this chp..4, awl gave two amusing illustra-
tions to show why his particular pariah ought to encourage
spelling bets. One WWI the fact that he had just received
an invoice for coals addressl to St. Barnabas " Vikkei
ridge," and the other was the still more daring blunder of
a correspondent who addressed him as the Vicar of "St.
Barreled." Now, as Barrabas was a robber, and not a
saint, the vicar thought it high time to have a spelling
bee. Many of the promoters of those bees succeed in
making substantial pecuniary returns. By offering small
prizeo, such as gold rings, writing cases, and an occasional
XIII watch, enormous uilienreo are a.ssembled at some of
them gatlicringo and a sinall fee is also charged to the
competitors fur iprizeo.
EXTRAORDINARY EUNERAL.—A scene of an unuoual
character orrorrA4 on Sunday at Ethane in _ Kent. It
appeared that a few d M 'lays previously the son of r. Thomas
inviter Haworth, parish surveyor of Elthain, died, and
his father decided to bury him upon a waste piece of
building land, the freehold of Mr Haworth, situated at
the side of the turnpike-road, in the parish of Mottingham
three o'clock on Sunder afternoon being the time fixed for
the interment. Notwithstanding the weather being wet
and miserable, and the roads in a wretched condition, a
very large number of persons congregated on the spot.
The funeral procession wended its way a distance of a
iniie and a quarter, and on arriving at the place found a
small, neat brick building. about I 4 feet square and eight
feet high, bearing the inscription "Thalmann mausoleum
of Thomas Chester Haworth, Elthatn." An opening in
I front showed that the vault was not without a previous
tenant, another son of Me. Haworth having been pre.
viouoly interred there. The funeral rite., which belted
about au hour, were performed by the Rev. 11. Price,
Congregational minister of Elzhana, who, in the course of
an addeeee 'dated, that the ground upon which they stood
was "foil's acre," and that lie, with the friends of the
deceased young Moll. Drefe.rred it as a burial-place for
their dead to the " pnesta acre." In committing the
contains of their departed fnend to that lonely tomb, they
knew they were just as safe as if placed in some gigantic
mausoleum, Cr in the inost sacred place to be found on
earth. At the conclusion of the ceremony the aperture
of the vault (which contains room for four more coffins,
Mr. Haworth having a wife and two ton., left) was again
bricked up and the crowd phoperied.
