Three months after the child

was horn, and,
in spite of his promise, the man manifested great loathing
for it, and abused the mother. One day the woman went
out, leaving the child in its cradle, with no one in the
house except the man. On her return she found the
child lying dead, and medioal men being oalled in, they
declared that, from marks on its body, it was evident
that the little creature had been placei on the hot bricks
of the fireplace; and had been actually roasted to death !
When the woman accused him with having murdered the
child, he merely said, " Why did you not stop to take care
of it ?"

MORE TROUBLE IN THE CHURCH.—Upwards of eighty
beneficed clergymen, in the diocese of St. David's, have
memlialised Bishop Connop Thirlwall against the
theological teaching of the Reverend Rowland Williams,
the professor of divinity in Lampeter College. The protest
is specifically directed against the teaching contained in the
professor's sermons, published under the title of ' R itional
Godlines," the tendencies of which were pointed out about
a year ago in the Quarterly Review, and have since occa-
sioned much discussion. The temonstrants allege that the
college has lost just have its students in consequence of the
heretical teaching of the professor, whose, doctrines, they
_ have filled them with alarm —doctrines which they
Conceive are fraught with the most serious consequences to
the interests of the college and the welfare of the church in
the principality. The bishop has not yet expressed an
opinion on the subject. .

A DELIBERATE'SUICIDE.—A New Orleans paper contains
a letter from the pen of an American doctor (Bengnot) who
resides in Paris, giving particulars of the suicide of another
American doctor (Valetti). The latter was dying of con.
sumption, andetermined to hasten his death, in order that
ha might not spend the small means left him, which he
destined for his relations. Ile informed Bangnot of his
resolution ; remonstrances were urged in vain, and all he
could be got to promise was the delay of a week in his
design. "A week, that's a long time to wait," he said.
At the end of that time he sent for Bangnot to bid him
farewell. The poison, a preparation of strychnine, made
by Dr. Valetti himself, was all ready. Dr. Bengnot argued
and entreated with the inflexible patient for four hours, but
in vain. It was nearly midnight when he left the room.
Valetti bade him an affectionate farewell, telling him to
come back the next morning, and locked the door on his
friend. At day-break Dr. Bengnot was on the ground, and
the door was forced open. The body of the suicide was
found in his bed, He was quite dead. _

DEATH OF THB EtRL 'OF SCARBOROUGH.—We have to
record the death of the Right Hon. John Earl of Scar-
borough, which took place at his seat, Saadbeck•park, near
Tickhill, Yorkshire, on Wednesday last The deceased
nobleman was the eighth Earl of Scarborough, and the
lineal representative of a family which traces its pedigree
to a period onsiderably anterior to the Norman conquest.
He was born at Eiwinstowe, on the 18th of July, 1788,
and succeeded as the eighth earl on the 21st of Febuary;
1835, his father having ben killed by a fall, from
a horse. Prior to his accession, the deceased noble-
man represented the county of Nottingham in the
House of CAnmons, having been elected by that con-
stituency in the years 1826, 1830, 1831. and 1852. In
1839 he was appointed lord lieutenant of the county of
Nottingham, in the room of the late Duke of Newcastle,
who was summarily removed for having written an offensive
letter to the Lord Chancellor Cottenhan. SOOll after the
death of the seventh earl, some litigation took place relative
to the estates at Sandbeek and Rufford, which had pre-
viously been held by the peer and the heir apparent to the
title respectively. The suit ended in favour of the deceased
earl, who rewarded his advocate, Sir W. Follett, with a

North 3,000 guineas. At the close of this
suit the late earl cut off the entail of the estates. Eiohard
Lumley Saville, Esq., of Tiokhill Castle, is nosy the Earl of
Scarborough, but in whom the estates are vested has not yet
transpired.
THE PRINCE OF WALES.—MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-,MUCh
amusement has been created in Manchester by an error
into which a great number of the inhabitants of the town
seem to have fallen by mistaking a clergyman and hiltwo
sons for the Prince of Wales and his brother attendey
their tutor. It appears that some time ago a rumour was
set on foot that his royal highness intended to pay a visit
to the principal sights in Manchester, but that he wished
to pass incognito. This rumour had no foundation in fact,
but it caused the Manchester people to be on thelook out
for this promised visit. Now it so happened that a clergy.
man named the Rev. Wm. Briidgman Simpson was on a
visit with his two sons at a friend's house in Manchester,
and on Monday and Tuesday last these gentlemen, accom-
panied by some friends, inspected several of the large
manufactories in the town. First they visited Mr.
Nasmyth's works at Patricroft, afterwards they went to
the Oxford-road Twist Company, and finally they visited
the: Mechanics' Institution Exhibition, at which last
place they paid for tickets of admission like other people,
and at the two factories they were admitted with
the usual note of introduction. During the day it was
rumoured and extensively believed, that this was the
royal party. The greatest respect and attention was paid
by the officials at the different places, and the crowd
of idlers, fully impressed with their having obtained a
view of royalty, made every loyal demonstration in their
P• ower It may be added that one of the Manchester
journals fell into the trap, and believing in the real pre-
sence of the royal family, published an article, in which a
variet3 of sayings and doings of these lads were quoted
to show that they
