A DUNFERMLINE TABLECLOTH AT THE. FRENCH
COURT.—On Saturday the Emperor of the French gave an
audience to Mr. George Lebben (a gentleman representing
the English firm of Hodge sad Lowman), for the purpose of
%ripening • " Crimean tablecloth," introduced to his Ma-
rthby the Earl of Clarendon, after having been examined
the Queen and Prince Consort at Balmoral. The table-
is el: yards long, and is an extraordinary production
of linen damask. In designing sad finishing the work oc-
cupied upwards of two years, and necessitated an outlay of
nearly 6,0001. The machinery for the manufacture of the
cloth was so beautifully adjusted that the damask presented
no ler than twenty-four wall executed portraits of the
crowned heads of Europe. the generals and the naval com-
manders engaged is the Crimean war, the anus of the re-
spective countries, and • magnificent centre piece illustrative
of the fall of Sebastopol. His Majesty examined the work
with evident interest, and repressed a wish to have a dupli-
cate worked for the imperial table. The Emperor expressed
himself exceedingly gratified by the opportunity of vie• ing
so fine a spscimenof English aldll and workthanship.—Edie-

cues which had been prepared foe counsel's opinion, as to

terest and principal of the 140,0001. main drainage loan, was
approved, and ordered to be laid before Sir gitsruy Kelly and
fierjeant Bytes. The Lill for the formation of a park for

SUPPOSED MURDER IN NORFOLK.—A few days
ago some particulars were given in the .press respecting
the discovery of some rmaMe at Middleton, Norfolk, which
were thought to to those of Mr. John Bell, who disap-
peared from that place about eight years ago, and who it is
now supposed was murdered. The adjourned inquest took
plats yesterday at Middleton, before Mr. Wilbur, district
earner. Many witnesses were examined, but their evidence
was principally of a conjectural character, and nothing posi-
tive was ascertained. A mum was produced, which was
identified as having furemely belonged to Mr. Bell. A wit-
ness, named Cothran, deposed that while at work at Middle-
ton fa November, 1849, heard a great deal of scuffling and
greasing neer the place where the remains hare been found,
and afterwards, when Ms. Bell was missed, the witness men-
tioned the circumstance to two persons, but nothing more
specific arose out of this witness's testimony. The coroner,
in ugggseesuu• an adjournment, referred to the statement made
by Cell• which by said was exceedingly important, and
he believed they were on the threshold of a startling in-
q*y. He w,shad it to be publicly known that at the time
Mr. Bell distrpeared—and there could be no doubt that he
had been fiv.ify murdered—bills had been issued offering
• reward of 2201. for the conviction of the guilty pereon cm
Meson/. He should cause those bills to Le reissued, sad ad-
journ the inquiry for • fortnight.
