TRH VALUE OF PROPERTY IN THE CITY.-Yester-
day, at the Lord Mayor's Court, a compensation own, "Jones
and Cohen v. the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway
Company," occupied the day. Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr.
Barnard were for the claimers, and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C.,
sod Mr. Gadsden for the company. The claim was 3,0001.,
for three freehold houses, in Fleet-lens, which had been
pulled down. An offer of 1,7601. had been made sod paid
into court. Several withers' were called on both sides as
to the value, and the usual difference of opinion was
given in evidence. Both parties admitted that property in
the City had greatly lowered in ulna, sod it was stated on
oath that three companies had bees established to purchase
property in the City for the purpose of selling it ague. Mr.
Commiesioner Kerr told the jury they wore to assess the
present value. It wee remarkable that where railway com-
panies were concerned there was a wide difference in the
opinion of the valuers. The value should be the same as
between John Jones and Thomas Smith, bat he was bound
to say it was not so. The juryswarded 2,450/.
DRUNK. FOR TWENTY Y LAE& -Au inquest was
held on Wednesday evening by Mr. Richards, at the Wel-
bogie* Tavern, Cannonatreet, St. George's-in-the-Esat, as
to the death of Sarah Whaley, aged 59 years, who died

titute state at her lodgings, and was removed tithe infirm-
ary at St. George's Workhouse, where she received every
attention. On Monday morning last she was seized with
illness, and expired suddenly in bed. William Whaley,
her husband, said she was a continual drunkard, and had
spent a fortune in drink. She had not beta sober for 2.)
years. Dr. J. S. Belcher, of the New-road, St. George's,
said that • post-mortem examination of the body showed
that the left lung was studded with tubercular absceare.

CROLY SUICIDE or • CLERGYMAN.-
For sane time past the Rev. Matthew Jeffrey", B.A.
rector of South Moresby, near Alford, has been in a low
and desponding condition, and his friends had received a
caution as to allowing anything to be within reach by which
he might injure himself. They had specially bees urged to
keep out of his hands, if possible, the newspapers containing
the lamentable account o[ the suicide of young (..nptain Hall-
way, lest it should aggravate the nature of his malady. Un-
fortunately it appears that the rev. gentleman managed both
to read the account of his young friend's death, and
to posers himself of the meths of self-destruction,
early on Sunday mooing, not appearing amongst
the household at the usual time, nor responding whoa
called, the envier of the village carpenter were pot into
requisition, and his chamber door burst open. The party
were horrified at discovering Mr. Jeffreys with his throat
frightfully cut, sod apparently lifeless. Mr. Calthorp, sur-
geon, was hastily sent for, and although living two miles
distant, lie arrived in time to prolong the sufferings of the
unfortunate gentleman, who lingered in agony until Tuesday
last, when he expired. It has been said that painful events
rarely happen alone. This was verified in connexion with
the above affair, for at the Mai* time the doctor was sent
for to Mr. Jeffreys be was required to attend a poor woman
in labour. After attending to the former, he made the beat
of his way to the latter, when it was discovered that she
ban lost her life for want of immediate aid.
