Tin RAILWAY BILIDOS OVER THE BLACSTRIARB-
- the contractors commenced fixing the
massive ironwork and girders intended to carry the Charing-
cross Railway over kfriars-road, between Stamford-
street and the Surrey Chapel, the entire archway from
Hungerford-bridge, sad for • ameliorable distance on
towards Southwark and London-bridge, being now com-

ECTED PolsoNuto BY SinYcliNrNE. —A re-
markable case of suspected poisoning by strychnine bas
occurred near Boston. Te the snail village of Butter=
about four miles from that town, resided • labourer
Kent and his wife, and • child named Jane Sharp, a
daughter al the latter, born before bar marriage. On
Wednesday, the 9th instant, the child was suddeely taken
ill, and at tee o'clock at night • medical MAD was sent for.
Dr. Cammack was promptly in attendance, but about ten
minutes before hie arrival the child died. Immediately be
saw the child he declared she had been poisoned by strych-
nine. In his evidenoe before the coroner's jury he described
the appearances presented. The body was warm, bat in en
intense state of rigidity. The teeth were clenched, jaws
fixed, and could not be opened, lips compreseed, and could
not be separated, pupils dilated, hands doubled, clenched
as tight as hawk's claws, instep arched and rigid, every
joint stiff and Mraight, the back bowed to an arch and stiff,
the arch concave, the back of the bead being inclieed
towards the heels. He could have taken the child by the
ankles and held it out straight. The body was quite warm.
No disease could produce such eppenrances. A poet mortem
examination of the body was made by • Boston mediae'
man, but he could discover no traces of poison. The mother
acknowledged that she bad in the house several packets of
Battle's vermin killer, which is well known to contain a
large portion of strychnia, but positively denied having
administered any. She also denied that the child had been
I convulsed before death. The jury, after some consideration,
returned • verdict of "Death from mantel causes." The
medical men of the district are, however, not satisfied with
the verdict, and demand a fresh inquiry. —Leeds Memory.
ASSIST OT A MIMES'S LEOATRIL —The Progres
of Lyons states that public curiosity has been greatly
exalted in that city within the last three days by the
erred of the woman Fevre and her husband, who some
three years ago came into poeseesion of all the property,
I amounting to several militate of franca left to her by
the will of the notations mime Orf pin. ' It appears that
the fortunate legatee had at last succeeded in buying off
the opposition of the old man's natural heirs by offering
annuities ; bet as she afterwards omitted to pay them
one of the parties lately sued her for • promised
amenity of 10,000 fr., and during the snit cream-
' stances came to light which justify the stivicion that the
old man was unfairly dealt with in order to prevent him
from altering the will made in favour of the woman Fevre.
When arrested, the latter vainly attempted to bribe the
commissary of police with a ronleau of napoleons. Having
failed to recover her liberty by that means, she took up a
OrnAl6E, and. kissing it, exclmmed, " In the name of the
cross, I accept this new trial." The property found in the
hoses amounted to about I,l3oo,CYffr. in gold, notes, and
securities. It is expected that this affair will be brought
before the next amines of theißhone.
THE FRES NIOSOIS AT POET ROYAL.—In EI
letter from Philadelphia of the Bth, we read :—" I rejoice
to be able to inentioo that Mr. Frederick Law Olmeted,
whole books apes Southern matters have so powerfully in-
fluenced 'prelim both in England and in this country, has
aeseyted the position offered him by the Port Royal Arso-
Hatton of Reston, New York, sad Philadelphia, of penal
=et of the joint enterprise.' He will be the medium
which the government will communicate with these
besevolset societies, and it is probable that the debuts,-
made to the soirees, as well as the products of their Latour,
will peon through hie heads. No man in the country is
mote familiar has be with the labour question as bearing
on agricultural operations at the South, anti no one feels
livelier interest in the seems of this meet important ex-
periment."
