SIR MORTON Pero's BVRL&L BILL.—The selec
committee of the House of Commons, to whom Sir Morton's
Pete's bill, empowering nonconformist ministers to conduct
their religious services in church of England burial grounds,
was referred, have agreed to report in favour of the principle
of the hilt This information has been conveyed by Mr.
Collins, M.P., a member of the committee, to the Church
Institution, and a meeting of that body is to be called in
the course of a few days to consider the matter, as the bill
will be put down for third reading es • very early day after
the Whitsuntide holidays.
DARINO BURGLARY AT CAMDEN-TOWN...—UP-
WARDS OP £l,OOO WORTH OP PROPRRTY Bement. —This
morning a good deal of excitement was created on the dis-
covery being made that it daring burglary had been perpe-
trated on the premises of Mr. Becker, jeweller and &TRY-
smith, in High-street, Camden-town, and considerable
property carried off. The burglary wee ootdiscovend until the
Amoroso began to open the shop, and it was at once ascer-
tained that one side had been completelyeleared,snd watches
and jewellery, with other articles, stolen. The bureery, it
appears, was effected with a good deal of contrivance. The
house of Mr. Seeker adjoins Warren-street, and, with other
houses, has been projected into a shop. The next home is
nnoocupied, and it seems that the thieves made en entrance
into Mr. Seckses Mop from the other, through a thick
wall, and the wonder is how the operations could have
been carried on without a noise, as High-street is a very '
public thoroughfare, and the least noise must have
attracted notice. Information was immediately given to
the police, and some experienced officers at once set to work
to discover a clue. The shop was kept closed, and the police
Mistimed °Maids. Nothing could be positively ascertained,
but it was stated that property from 1,0001. to 1,5001, has
been carried off by the thieves.
MILITARY SCANDALN.—We seem never likely to
be done with military scandals. In additioa to those
in the 4th Dragoon Guards and 11th Hussars,
we are, I understand, not unlikely to have an
expend in the Brigade of Guards, hitherto tolerably
free from such things. The story is that several months
since a general officer connected with the Gusrd• ad-
dressed some unduly harsh expressions on parade to
one of the officers; that be was afterwards sensible of
having exceeded the proper hounds, and that the next
time he met the officer he sought to make some apology
or reparation. When he approached the officer, with
outstretched hand, the latter declined his band, and turned
upon his heel contemptuously. The general then, in a fit of
passion, directed the officer commanding the battalion to
put him under arrest. He was put under arrest, but shortly
afterwards was released, and so further notice was then
taken of the matter. Very recently, however, the officer
took action, and brought the whole affair before the Coin-
mander.in-Chief, who declined to re-open it after so long
an intervaL Thereupon, the officer his commenced an
action for false imprisonment against the commander of
the battalion, who was the agent io putting him under
arrest—Correspondent of Moodie:ter Guardia*.
EXTRAORDINARY DEATH PROW OVIII•EATING.—
An inquest was held before Mr. Bedford, the caws, at
Westminster Hospital, on Tuesday, on the body of a man
unknown, who died from the effects of over-eistbg. From j
the evidence cif Police-constable Gill, 106 A, and others, it are ;
peered that late on Wednesday night last week the deceased .
was obeerved seated upon the steps of e home in Perlis-
smut-street, and from the groaning noise and other sounds ,
he made, attention was called to hiin. The constable found
the poor fellow minuet is a senseless condition, rolling his
had in a most peculiar manner. With assistance he was
conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, where he
expired a few hours after admission. The deceased
never rallied, sad no clue to his identity has been
obtained since. He bad the appearance of a respect-
able mechanic. A paper was found in his pocket, with the
words, written in pencil, " Liptff, Dublin, 46, Pall-mall,
and 27, Chesbamplace." He was about :15 years of age.
Dr. Tanner, the house physician of Westminster Hospital,
stated that when the deceased was brought in, efforts were
made to remove something from the stomach, when it was
found that the stomach-pomp became choked up with large
pieces of meat. Every effort was mode to restore the dee i
ceseed, but he expired is about two hours. A poet mortals
examination had been made, from which it was clearly
shown that death had resulted from disease of the
beset,
caused by the deceased having eaten, a large quantiy
pork and fat, which was found in lumps in the stomach. The
j coroner having remarked upon the singular nature of the
ease, the jury returned a verdict in accordance with the
medical evidence.
