REPRESENTATION OF CLARE.—It was currently re-
ported on Thursday in Dublin that a vacancy is expected
ti 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-
etituents.

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

SUICIDE or A RESPECTABLE MARRIED FEMALE FROM
WATERLOO-BRIDGE.—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, atter 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 71. to 101. 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 2001. The beasts, which were in very
fine condition, scarcely found bidders. Bruin fetched
31. 15s. The monkeys, which were choice sorts, from
ss. to 10s., and the two Esquimaux dogs, 6e. and 4s.
each.
