ENGLISH CHURCH AT CENEVA.—The ceremony
of laying the first stone of the English church at Genera
took place on the Ist. It was performed by the Bishop of
Winchester, assisted by his lordship's chaplain, the chap-
lain of the English church, and the members of the com-
mittee. There was a large number of persons present, con-
sisting of some English families of distinction who arc
I staying at Geneva, and many inhabitants of the town.
A FIGER CAT.—A very strange occurrence took
place in the Diego Martin Ward, on the night of Wei:lnes.
day, Aug. 27.—An old black woman, living in a wretched
hut in the outskirts of the village, was roasting some
corn at her fire at about the hour of midnight, when a
large tiger cat, which had entered the hut unnoticed,
' sprung upon her, and proceeded to lacerate her with its
teeth and claws in a most ferocious manner. There were
two other human inhabitants of the hut, a woman (younger
I than the one attacked) and her child. This woman climbed
1 up with the child to a kind of " gm:tier " in the hut out of
the way of the tiger cat, and screamed loudly for assistance.
I The but being, however, far from any other habitation, no
one came, and the old woman had to defend herself from
the attacks of the animal, in the course of which she was
I mangled in a most pitiful manner, until four o'clock in the
1 morning, when the cries of the two women at last brought
. some of the inhabitants of the village to their succour. On
hearing these people approach the animal made its escape.
The old woman was found bathed in blood, and presented
such a shocking appearance, that it was at first thought she
could not survive, but she has received surgical assistance
and is now convalescent. This is the first instance in this
colony, we believe, of a tiger cat attacking a human being.

ROME AND ANCONA RAILWAY.—The Roman govern-
ment has guaranteed six per cent. upon the capital of 20
millions of Roman scudi (120 millions of francs) for the
Rome and Ancona railway. The line which is to connect
Tuscany with Bologna and the Lombardo Venetian pro-
vinces is also to be commenced without delay.
DEATII OF A FOREIGN CoMMISSION AGENT.—
Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held before Mr. W.
Baker, the coroner, at the Baker and Basket Tavern,
Leman-street, Whitechapel, on the body of Mr. Hiram
&harp, aged 2G, who died very suddenly. The deceased
was a native of Holland, and was a commission agent in the
service of Messrs. White and Son, Chcapside. He belonged
to the Jewish persuasion, and was subject to asthma. The
deceased fasted in accordance with his religion from Sunday
evening until half-past six on Monday night, when
he retired to rest. At an early hour on the following
' day, the deceased was discovered lying on his back in bed,
foaming at the mouth, and apparently dying. Mr. Liddell,
the surgeon, was called in, but the deceased was then dead.
Mr. Liddell was of opinion that the deceased had died from
disease of the heart, and the fasting so long was calculated
to accelerate death. The jury returnedu verdict of "natural
death."
