ACCIDENTAL PODIONINO OF A LADY.—An *rear-
ms= of a very painful character has tare Blass I Sonia-
setehire by the accidental poisonieg of Km B. &cot, •
lady of large fortune. Me.. Eared was the widow
of B. Edon, Esq., a gentleman of ands= family,
who during his life time was very popular es amount of
the leading part he took in political and other public mat-
ters mined= with the county, and Mr*. Escort &ivelf wee
greatly respected by all the residents of her neighbourhood.
She had latterly been candied to her bed-room by • severe
attack of low fever for which she was under the profeseimeal
care of Mr. Henry, a merge= of considerable repute, reeding
at the neighbouring town of Stogumber. In the course of
her illness Mrs. Escott had been in the habit of taking ores-
clonal domes of acetate of morphia, and a preparation t.f that
piwerful drug was =fortunately kept on the mantel-shelf of
her bed-room, where also was placedanother phial containing
some medicine of a difkeent description, which Mr. Henry
had prescribed for Ler. The doses were usually administered to
Mrs. Edon by her lady's maid, who was in constant atten-
dance on her, but that from which her death so unhappily
resulted was administered by her own hand. The lady's maid
had oeradon to leave the room for • few minutes and on her
return her tuietred called to her and said. "Oh, I have
takes the wrong medicine." The ser tat immediately railed
to Mr. Henry, who happened to be in the home conversing
with Miss Elrod, who immediately proceeded to the bedside
of the unhappy lady. He found bar with the phial labelled
"Solution of acetate of morphia ;" be asked her what she had
taken sad she replied, " I am afraid that I am poisoned—for
God's mks do save me " He edministered emetics and tried
to we the stomach pump, but the spasms in her throat pre-
vented hie doing so. She died at about six o'clock.

ConENT-OnnoEn.—Almost anticipating the con-
striction t fthe Crenboutn-street extension line, the Duke of
Bedford, through his agents, has been busily occupied by
pulling down various houses belonging to his Grace Is
Tavietock-tercet and Easier-street, for the purposed extend-
ing Burisagh-street from the Strand ioto Covent-garden-
market. Already the Board of Work, have marked out the
ground for the site of their new Akre, adjacent to the
new vicarage for which the Duke of Bedford has given the
ground; and Mr. Pares, the adman, will rebuild on the
opposite corner. AU that remains le be removed are the prw
tunes belonging to Mr. Harris, the builder, and the other
properties which intervene between Tavieleabatreet mid
Covent-garde-market. Diverging trees the Wend, this
line of street will take as oblique—or rather a Ilk=
direction on account of the dine= of level
