DEATH OF AN E%•POLICE MAGISTRATE.—Mr
Peregrine Bingham, who for many years presided as one of
the magistrates at the Marlborough-street Police-court,
and who resigned about four years ago owing to ill health,
expired yesterday. The deceased, who was 70 years of age,
wes called to the bar of the Middle Temple in November,
1818.

The vintage ill Spain this year, like those of
Frence and Germany, is unusually fine, and the wine is
ear 3cted to be equal to that of 1858.
SUICIDE OF A NORWEGIAN CAPTAIN.—The
Bristol coroner held an inquest on Tuesday, on
the body of a Norwegian captain, namod Gruddo Larsen,
of the brig Emanuel, from Twedestrand, Norway. Tho
deceased hung himself against a gate-post in the public
street. Niels' Evensen, the captain of a Norwegian vessel
sailing from the same port as deceased, stated that he knew
him very well. He was a married man, and had a family.
He last saw deceased about five o'clock on Monday evening,
and he was then dru.-k. Nothing passed between them to
lead witness to think that Larsen meant to destroy himself.
Witness believed that his mind was affected by drink, and
that he was in trouble about his ship. This trouble a?ose
in consequence of the deceased not being able to pay .his
bill, the broker having no money. The jury returned a
verdict that the,deceased hung himself while in an unsound
state of mind.

NITRATE OF SODA.—The Field Marshal in New
York directs attention to the necessity of placing
wider stringent regulations the storage, within the city
limits, of nitrate of soda. His report, just issued, says :
Until recently the belief prevailed that the article was
comparatively safe one so far as its storage was concerned.
The calamitous accidents that have resulted from it have
dispelled this•impression, and it is now a well-founded convic-
tion that not only nitrate of soda, but saltpetre and nitrate
of potash are highly dangerous when stored in large quan-
tities. Nothing is more ce►tain than that, when exposed
to the action of rapid Ifeat, they will, as soon as brought into
combination with any vegetable substance by fire, produce
instant explosion. As a matter of course rho larger the
quantity the greater the expansion, and the greater the
danger to life and property.--American paper.
DANIEL O'CONNELL.—I had a very siocere re-
gard for hits. He was passionately fond of hunt-
ing with his harriers on his native mountains, starting fur
the trail of a hare by daybreak in the niorning; and then it
was, on taking the teetotal pledge, that he told me his gh.ss
of whisky. lie said, however, that he found a very strong
cup of coffee an efficient substitute for the potheen, and that
at last he never missed it. His dislike to a greyhound, or
to the death of a hare by any means except beagles, was
amusing. In one cf our conversations in the lobby, a mem-
ber joined us just at the time O'Connell was assuring me.
he spoke French so fluently, that at times he even thought
in French—the greatest proof of perfec,ion in the acquire-
ment of that language. The member who had joined us
observed rather flippantly, "Come, come, Mr O'Connell,
that wont% do." `` Some people never think at all,"
retorted the Liberator. The other felt the hit and walked
away.—the Hon. Grantley Berheleg's Life and Recollections
