DEATH OF A CRIMINAL LUNATIC.—On Thursdav
morning Mr. Payne, the coroner, held an inquest at
Bethlehem Hospital, on the body of Maria Isabella
Beckett, aged 69 years. Dr. Charles Hood deposed
that the deceased was tried at the Lent Assizes, at Ayles-
bury, Buckinghamshire, for the wilful murder of her
grand-daughter, on the 9th of March, 1857, and acquit-
ted on the grounds of insanity, but ordered to be con-
fined during her Majesty's pleasure. She was removed
from Buckingham Gaol by a warrant from her Majesty,
on the 24th of July, 1858. About a month ago she
was taken with the dropsy
.and bronchitis, and died on
the 16th instant. The jury returned a verdict of
" Natural death."
The Demerara Colonist says 10 men, convicts, escaped
from Cayenne a few days ago in an open boat; among
them was Carlo de Rudio, who was sentenced to hard
labour forlife for his share in the Orsini plot to assassinate
the French Emperor, in February, 1858. They were con-
fined on a small island near Cayenne. Havino.. escaped,
they rushed to the beach, stove in six boats, aod put
to sea in the seventh. They reached Berbice on Sun-
day. Radio immediately separated from his companions
in flight. The rest subsequently arrived at Demerara.
The French war steamer came in pursuit of them,
accompanied by the vice-consul of France, and had an
interview with the governor respecting them. By the
extradition treaty the governor has no power to deliver
uan escaped convict. They still continued at large in
the city.
ACCIDENT AT THE RAINBOW TAVERN, FLEET-STREET.
—On Thursday, shortly before one o'clock, great con-
sternation was created in the neighbourhood of the
Temple and Fleet-street, on account of a loud report
and crash heard behind, with loud cries for help. It
was soon ascertained that one of the walls recently
erected at the Rainbow Tavern, Fleet-street, which has
been for some time in the courre of erection, had fallen
into the Inner Temple-lane, carrying with it a number
of workmen, six of whom on their being rescued were
so seriously injured that it was found necessary to con-
vey them to King's College Hospital. The accident is
supposed to have arisen from the wall being top heavy.
The business which was carried on below has been of
necessity suspended. None of the inmates or customers
were injured.

A WINE AT LENGTH FROM AUSTRALIA.--We shall be
enabled shortly to announce the advent of a pure,
generous, and wholesome wine from our Australian
possession, in sufficient quantities, and at such a price,
as will take the just medium between the man
who is driven to total abstinence from the filth
imported, and those who pay at a rate which their
more sober reflections and their pockets do not
justify. The wine in question is very like Chateau
Yquen, and is the produce of the Muscatel grape, and is
named " Muscatella," after that luscious and aromatic
fruit. We are indebted to some Germans intimately
conversant with the wine districts of the Rhine for this
importation ; and although as yet the few butts that
have entered the market have been secured by Messrs.
Alderman and Beckford, of Curzon-street, Mayfair, the
time must arrive when the community will yet further
derive the benefit of its more extensive importation,
which even nov permits of its dispersion at a very IoW
figure.
