THE LAWAHALL MURDER.—II will be a satisfac-
tion to the public to know that George Carnt has made a
full confession of hie guilt to Mr. Macintyre, the gaoler,
acknowledging the truth of the evidence, and the justice of
the sentence. He is in a very becoming and penitent frame
of mind.—Bury lkrald.
A FEMALE TRAVELLER ROUND TIIE WORLIL—A
correspondent of the Nonconformist says: "Thu lady, of a
humble, simple appearance, but endowed with uncommon
qualities, has arrived in London. She has distinguished
herself by her extensive travels in distant lands ; and,
strange to say, she has gone immense distances without her
companion, overcoming the greatest difficulties by her un-
aided genius, and penetrating into the midst of what
Europeans are pleased to call 'the most uncivilised nations,'
passing through them unscathed, without any other pro-
tection than her harmless disposition and her firm con-
fidence in Providence. Mrs. Pfeiffer is a native of Vienna.
lice travelling propensity manifested itself from her earliest
childhood, and she gratified it then by roaming about in
the neighbourhood of that city. It was only late in life
that she was able to indulge more fully in her predominant
propensity. During the earlier part of her life, she attended
with exemplary devotion to the duties of a wife and
mother. Nt hen her children had grown up to manhood,
and gained an independence for themselves, she then
thought herself justified in following a propensity which
was in her so powerfully at work, and which prompted her
to leave a comfortable home and many loving friends. She
first directed her steps to Palestine and Egypt. After her
return, she visited Scandinavia and Iceland. Then she set
out on a voyage round the world, landing in Brazil, sur-
mounting the Parahyby, and penetrating through thick,
primitive forests, to visit the aborigines at their own homes;
then passing Cape Horn, touching at Valparaiso, she tra-
versed the Pacific Ocean to Otaheite and China, Singapore
and Ceylon, as far as Kandy; wandering hence to Bengal,
Hindostan, and Delhi, turning her steps to the caves of
Adjunta and Ellen, to Bombay. From that spot she sailed
through the Arabian and Persian Sea to Bassora, followed
the Tigris up to Bagdad, continuing to pass over an immense
country to Babylon, Mosul, Nineveh, Into Kurdistan, and
Persia's second capital, Tebris. Pursuing her course over
Tiflis. along the Caucasus, she embarked at Itedout Kali
for Constantinople and Greece, whence she returned to her
native country. She speaks in glowing terms of the kind-
ness she met with at the hand of some of the tribes who
are considered to be most backward in civilisation."
FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE AT THE ORDNANCE-
OPFICE.—Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. Bedford,
in the theatre of the Caring-erose Hospital, on the body of
William Houghton, aged 42, who was killed at the Board
of Ordnance-office, in mall, under the following dread-
- ful tireumstances. A new wing is in process of construc-
t lion at the establishment, and on Tuesday last the deceased
. was at the top finishing the work. To save himself a few
yards walk round, he attempted to get from a wall to the
, scaffolding, a height of about three feet six. In some way
be had slipped from the scaffolding, and be fell with terrific
• violence first on the wall, and then to the stone pavement
below, a distance of TO or 90 feet. As soon as he could be
raised up be was carried to the Charing-crass Hospital,
when it was found that the skull and both lep were Lac-'
tiered. He lingered in an insensible state till the evening,
when he expired. The coroner rid it was incredible the
danger this elms of proms ran to earl a second or two of
tiute era few yards distance, and hundreds of lives had in
this way been kat. Verdict, "Accidental death."
