REPRESENTATION OF CLARE.—It wag currently re-
ported on Thursday in Dublin that a vacancy is expected
to take place in the representation of the county of
Clare, by the appointment of Sir John Fitzgerald to
employ on the staff. The gallant General's exertions
towards the repeal of the Ecclesiastical Titles Act will
probably not be forgotten by his Roman Catholic con-
stituents.

James Blytb, John Lodge, and Lawrence Evans,
who, it will be remembered, were last week charged at
the Mansion-house with distributin; bills " calculated
to excite to a breach of the peace," when the French
Emperor ♦isited the Oity, were yesterday discharged,
upon entering into their own recognicances to keep the
peace. Some of the published reports connect the pro-
ceedings of the prisoners with foreign democratic in-
fluence, but this suggestion appears to have been un•
founded.

SUICIDE OF A RESPEeTABLE MARRIED FEMALE FROM
WATERLOO-BRlDGE.—Yesterday afternoon, information
was forwarded to Mr. Charles Bedford, the coroner for
Westminster, of the determined suicide of Mrs. Harriett
Laws, aged 25 years, who was staying at the Black
Lion Hotel, Whitefriars. It appears that the deceased
got upon the parapet of Waterloo-bridge, and jumped
off into the centre of the River Thames. Boats and
drags were instantly put into request, and the unfortu-
nate female was taken out in a state of insensibility, and
removed to Charing-cross Hospital, where Mr.Muirhead,
house surgeon, after very great exertion, succeeded in
restoring animation ; but the deceased gradually sank
and expired. No cause is assigned for the rash act.
Yesterday, the whole of the collection, vans, wild
beast cages, and other effects, part of the once celebrated
Woombwell's Menagerie, and lately known as George
Woombwell's Show, was sold by auction, and fetched a
mere song. The sale took place at the Nova Scotia
Gardens, Hackney, where last exhibited. The vans,
five in number, nearly new and in good order, and the
stage van, fetched from 77. to 107. each—not the original
cost of the springs. The beasts were—a jaguar, a leopard
and leopardess, a nylghau, a hyena, a jackal!, six mon-
keys, an alpine wolf, a racoon, baboon, civet cat, some
birds, a Russian bear, two beautiful Esquimaux dogs ;
and with the tilts, paintings, harness, and paraphernalia,
did not realise 2007. The beasts, which were in very
fine condition, scarcely found bidders. Bruin fetched
37. 15s. The monkeys, which were choice sorts, from
ss. to 103., and the two Esquimaux dogs, 6e. and 4s.
each.

MEDICAL OFFICERS FOR THE TURKISH CONTINGENT.
—Dr. Mg:then-on, Inspector-General of the above force,
has come to Edinburgh to distribute a portion of the
very extensive patronage vested in him to the school of
medicine here. A few days since the terms of agreement
granted by Government were made public in the college
by Professor Miller, and on Friday last the Inspector.
General addressed the students and members in the
professor's claw-room. He offered, on the part of
Government, to take into immediate service, surgeons,
assistant-surgeons, and dressers, on the pay respectively
of 255., 155., and 10s. rid. a day ; a free passage out and
home, lodgings or lodging money, free rations, pensions
for wounds, and many other advantages. He explained
the nature of the force they were invited to join ; and,
referring to the very liberal terms offered by Govern.
went, pointed out the vast opportunities young men
accepting service would have of acquiring a
practical knowledge of their profession, and the
jclat that would be attached to their names during the
rest of their career, from having been engaged in a ser-
vice which must add much to their professional experi-
ence and reputation. The class of men required are
surgeons of some years' standing, and about 30 years of
age ; assistant-surgeons who have just got their diplo-
mas ; and dressers, young men in their second and third
yeare course of studies. The call. was most liberally re-
sponded to, and was received with nauc:h acclaraatioa.
