THE DEATHS ON BOARD THE HAMILLA MlT-
cu ELL.—Yesterday, Mr.Bedfunl resumed the inquest at the
Marquis of Westminster, Belgrave-road, Pimlico, as to tho
circumstance attending the sleuth of Henry Wade, aged 15,
one of the crew of the liamilla Mitchell, Captain Holmes,
oflllasgow, trading from Hartlepool to Hong Kong.
CURIOUS DISCOVERY OF A ROBBERY.—A few
years since, says the Siede, a robbery was committed in au
apartment in the line St. llonorii, occupied by a M. de
L—, an attache' to an embassy. Among the articles
stolen, that which the owner must regretted was a snuff-
box, set with diamonds, a present from a foreign prince.
That circumstance, and the intrinsic value of the article,
were not, however, the only motives of regret for its loss.
The box had a double bottom, which opened with a spring,
and beneath which were concealed a note and a medallion.
At the beginning of last week M. de L—, being at a sos-
ri,e in a diplomatic saloon, was thunderstruck at seeing
the identical snulf-box in the hands of a distinguished
personage. Ho approached the group of which this
gentleman formed part and related the history of the snuff-
box. lie afterward. borrowed from the gentleman the
box whieh he thought was his, and, as if by accident, let it
fall. The snuff being thus thrown out, he touched the secret
spring and produced the note and the medallion. The
gentleman in whoee possession the box had fallen offered
immediately to restore it to him who had so clearly shown
himself to have been the original owner of it ; but the latter
refused, being satisfied with recovering the valued objects
which it contained. The gentlemen gave the name of the
jeweller from whom he had purchased it, and, by the exer-
tions of the police, it has been traced in its various peregrie
nations in Fiance and England, and the robber discovered.
FATAL ACCIDENT TO ACROBATS.—A melancholy
accident occurred on the 14th, at the Teatro Malibran of
Venice, where a company of rope-dancers and tumblers
have been for some time perforating. A human pyramid
having been formed, consisting of three men upon one an-
other's shoulders, the man who carried them all began
running about with his load, when his foot slipping, or
catching somewhere, he lost his balance. In consequence
of which the uppermost man fell, and had his brains dashed
out upon the boards, and the second struck his breast so
severely against the ground that his recovery was despaired
of. The honor and confusion of tke scene may be ima-
gined. Both the victims of this accident are fathers of me-
merous families.
LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION RAIL-
WAY W %la.—The official manager of this
company, Mr. Croysdill, sppeareil before Master Humphrey
this day, and proceeded with his case against the directors.
Mr. Badcl, one of the clerks of the Commercial Bank of
London, proved the payment into the hank, during the
year 1844, of sums of money amounting in the aggregate to
about 2.5,0001., which was placed to the credit of tho com-
pany,and he also produced the clieque!drawn upon thebank
by the directors, blesses. Carpenter, lease and Fisher, for
various large sums, such as 12,000/., 1,2001., Ibis
branch of the official manager's case is likely to occupy a
considerable time.
