LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

ACCIDENTS. —Anne Flynn, residing at 28, Regent's-road
fell down the stairs, yesterday, and received a severe con-
tusion on the arm. Andrew Osmond, a seaman belonging
to the ship T. J., lying in the Bramley-Moore Dock, re-
ceived a severe contusion of the leg, yesterday, by the
stage falling upon him. Both the above cases were rerorted
at the Northern Hospital.
Mr. Hausburg apprehending the possibility of omissions
having occurred in the list of the very many kind friends,
who have so warmly condoled with him upon his late
heavy bereavement, is obliged to have recourse to this, his
only means of addressing them. To those who have not
already received his grateful acknowledgments, he now
earnestly begs to offer his heartfelt thanks for the extreme
friendly sympathy he has experienced. Leamington,
March 12, 1859.

KOORIA-MOORIA GUANO.—The experiments tried with
this manure appear to have resulted most satisfactorily.
We have before us a copy of a pamphlet which has been
issued, containing ample reports and analyses that leave no
doubt as to the valuable properties of this new guano ; and
considering the present low prices of agricultural produce,
this new fertiliser is especially beneficial, not only on
account of its great meiits, but from the low price at which
it can be obtained, and which places it within reach of all'
agriculturalists. The pamphlet to which we refer to has
been printed for gratis distribution, and may be had at our
office. •

DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—James Coole, a
railway guard, in the employ of the London and North
Western Company, and residing in Gloucester-street, made
a most determined attempt to commit suicide last evening.
It would appear that Goole has been drinking very hard of
late, and that about six o'clock last evening, when in the
neighbourhood of the Waterloo dock, he pulled out a clasp-
knife, and stabbed himself very severely in the region of
the heart. Several friends who were with him attempted
to take the knife out of his hands, and he grasped it by
the blade, cutting his fingers through to the bone. He was
overpowered, and taken to the Northern Hospital, where
he was examined by Dr. Wall, the house surgeon, who
pronounced him insane, and, after his wounds were dressed
he was taken to the lunatic ward of the Workhouse. •

BANKRUPTCY COURT, Yesterday.—(Before Air. Com-
missioner Perry.) —ln re THOMAS AND BENJAMIN CHAFFER.
—These bankrupts were flag. and stone, merchants, at
Burnley and Liverpool. The last examination sitting,
which has been several times adjourned, was appointed for
yesterday. Mr. Evans appeared for the assignees, Mr.
Almond for Mr: Thomas Chaffer; Mr. Deighton, instructed
by Mr. Haigh, for Mr. Benjamin Chaffer ; and Mr. Hull,
on behalf of a creditor. Mr. Evans stated that the accounts
were- very voluminous, and not as satisfactory as could be
desired. The assignees, however, thought that the bank-
rupts had better be allowed to pass their examinations, and
all questions .upon the accounts postponed to' the certi-
ficate sitting. Mr. Deighton considered it would be the
best course. Mr. Hull said he had a few questions to put
to Thomas Chaffer, with reference to his interest in property
at the Ross of Mull; and it was elicited, in the course of
his examination, that there were several books,. belonging to
the estate, of which he still retained possession, and which
his Honour ordered to be delivered up—his examination to
stand over till Saturday for that purpose. The bankrupt
Benjamin Chaffer passed, and the certificate sitting was
fixed for the 18th April.
