AND CORN

KIDDERMINSTER PUBLIC ROOM
EXCHANOE.—A correspondent, dating
Dec. 7, favours us with the following:—" This day the first
stone of the public 7001113 and new corn exchange was
laid in this town. The procession formed at the Guildhall,
First came the police, full dressed, then a large number of
the workmen and others; next came the Kidderminster'
brass band, followed by the rev. vicar (Mr. Claughton), the
Right Hon. Lend Ward, Robert Lowe, Esq., M. P. for the
borough ; the mayor (J. Kitely, Esq.) and the corporation;
Sir T. Winnington, M. P. for the neighbouring borough
of Bewdley ; Mr. AVesthead, formerly M.P. for Knurls-
borough ; the clergy, in full canonicals; then the share-
holders and other inhabitants, n.,t forgetting the Grammar-
school boys, • Ito closed the procession, which came np
High-street, deem AVorcester.street, up the Oxford-road to
Vicar-street, where the edifice will be erected, on a piece of
ground formerly called the Vicarage-garden. The parties
having come to the ground, everything being in readiness,
the vicar invoked • blessing on the undertaking. Lord
Ward Made a good and graceful use of the silver trowel,
and delivered an excellent speech. Afterwards Mr. Lowe,
the member for the borough, made a most effective speech.
He was followed by Mr. Westhead, who proved, by his
address, how much he had the interest of this borough at
heart. The company then gave three hearty cheers for her
Majesty, the same for Lord Ward, and three times three
for Mr. Lowe, and one cheer more also for Mr. Westhead
and the ladies. The procession then re-formed and came
up High street to the Lion Hotel, where a dinner was pro-
vided by Mr. Rhoades, and the company enjoyed
themselves with the good things of this life. Everything
passed off well. The building will be of great use to the
town when finiabed, there being no room large enough here
to give concerts or hold large meetings.
A Pious 'Strum:amt.—The Court of Assizes of
the Herat.li, in its last sitting, tried a man named Valet for
the murder of M. CiliValie, cure of Poilhes, id the dis-
turbances which followed the coup a', tat of December,
1851. In 1815 he was brought from Spain, in which coon-
toy he was born, and be has since resided in France. In
1842 his sister S .phie died, and left all her property to M.
Cavalit. This caused him to entertain a violent hatred of
that gentleman, and though M. entrain. showed him nume-
rous acts of kindness, his enmity appeared rather to increase
than diminish. When the disturhanct sof 1851 commenced
the accused was confined to his bed from sickness, but
prayed to God to give him strength to go to Poilhes to
murder the cure, and he declared that if he were not strong
enough to walk he would hire a carriage. On the 6th
December he went to the curt's residence, and he was so
weak that he had to lean on his eon. Ile entered the
house, and asked the cure to relieve him as be was in dis-
tress. The cure wen: to his secretary, and whilst opening
it, the prisoner discharged a pistol at him and shot him
deed He then returned home and displayed a red flag.
The jury declared him guilty and the court condemned
hint to death.—Galignatii.
