14Cep of Dr. Kane's party. Practically there may not
be mit& gained by the success' of this new expedition,
but it will be at least satisfactory to ascertain whether
there is really'a navigable sea around the North Pole,
which may be said to be the last great geographical ques-
tion remaining unsettled now. The adventurers calculate
upon a three years' voyage, for which they have gone
well provided.
The Nero York Tribune, of the 7th instant, says :
" Late on Tuesday evening we were surprised to learn
that the celebrated Madame Lola Montes, Countess of
Landsfelt, lay at the point of death, and was not
expected to survive the night. Oa Saturday morning
she arose in her usual health, but soon complained of
giddiness, and, lying down, was at once deprived of
speech and motion by a paralytic stroke, Sunday and
Monday she was able to partially recognise those about
her, but on Tuesday seemed to have lost all conscious-
ness, and was pronounced by her medical attendants as
beyond hope of life,"

On Wednesday night a performance will be given at
Drury-lane Theatre for the benefit of the family of the
late Robert Brough. On that occasion all, or almost all
the great actors in the metropolis will contribute their
quota towards the work of charity in the shape of pro-
fessional exertions; and some new aspirants to fame on
that night will also lend their aid. Among the latter
is Miss Fanny Stirling, the daughter of the famous
actress, Mrs. Stirling, who will also perform on this
occasion ; and as this young lady is handsome, well
educated, and highly accomplished, to say nothing of her
being "come of a good stock," her rebid may certainly
be expected to create a sensation.

At the Crown Court, Nottingham, before Mr. Justice
Wightman, John Fenton, 37, was charged with the
wilful murder of Chailes,Spencer, at Walkeringham, on
the 6th March last. The circumstances connecting the
prisoner with the crime will be remembered by our
readers from the reports we gave at the time of the
murder. The jury returned a verdict of "Wilful
murder," and the judge concurred in the verdict, and
passed sentence of death upon him.

On Saturday morning, much consternation prevailed
in the district of Goodman's-fields, Whitechapel, in con-
sequence of a most determined affray between two Ger-
mans. Henri Schawsh, a sugar baker, and Thoder Lud
wig, came to blows, and subsequently Schawsh seized a
pair of tongs to defend himself. Ludwig obtained posses-
sion of a -large broom handle. They then commenced a
regular savage affray, and were bleeding from wounds on
the head. At length Schawsh received a severe blow on the
base of the skull, and dropped suddenly to the ground,
apparently lifeless. The skull was found to be exten-
sively fractured, and three pieces of the skull bone were
pressing upon the brain. These were.carefully removed
but no hopes are given of his surviving the injury
Ludwig by some means effected his escape, and has
eluded the detectives, who have been in search of him.

It is speculated that the prorogation of Parliament
will take place about the third week in August. The
events of the last week have cleared the Governmen,
considerably, but the votes of supply, the estimates, and
the appropriatien, will prevent the session from being
closed before the period which we have indicated.
