A man named Thomas Emms has been arrested
for the murder of Mrs. Emmsey, of Stepney.
The police found on the premises the missing
cheque for £lO, which the deceased had received
on the morning of the 13th ult.; also four silver
spoons and a bunch of keys, which are believed to
have belonged to her. A person named Mullins,•
who had given the information to the police, and
had accompanied them to the house occupied
Emms, was also apprehended. It is suspected
that Mullins planted the articles discovered with
the object of implicating Emms, and securing
the £3OO reward. It is stated that Mullins.
while acting as a detective on the Brighton Rail-
way, was detected in a serious robbery, and.
sentenced to four years' penal servitude.

MERCANTILE AI.II,INE SERVICE ASSOCTL EION.—The
usual monthly meeting of the members of this body was
not held as usual on Tuesday last, but we understand
that the Lords of the Admiralty have expressed to the
Council of the association their entire approval of the
proposal noticed in the last Monthly Report, to employ
officers of the merchant service in the Royal Naval
Reserve, and that the details of-regulations for carrying
this out are now being framed by the Admiralty.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Yestertlay morning a man named
William Williams, who lived at 7 court, Finch-street,
died suddenly. He had been up about five o'clock and
called his children to work, and went to bed again.
About six his daughter heard a noise in his room, and
on going up found him dead on the floor. It appeared
the, death was the result of the bursting of a blood-vessel,
so that an inquest will be unnecessary in the case.
THE ROYAL INFIRMARY AND THE SOUTHERN
HOSPITAL—We call attention to an advertisement in
another column, announcing two lectures by Messrs.
Fowler and Wells, at the Concert-hall, Lbrd Nelson-
street, in aid of the funds of the Royal Infirmary and
the Southern Hospital. In connection with the science
of phrenology, and as popular lecturers, these gentlemen
have already gained a good deal of notoriety in this
town; and we have no doubt that this graceful conduct
on their part will add greatly to their popularity. The
lectures will be delivered to-morrow (Wednesday) and
Thursday evenings. We hope the halt will be crowded
on the occasion.
