quires corroboration by boring, before the discovery
of coal near the coast can be pronounced important.

A fine vein of coal, equal to any from Newcastle,
has been discovered upon the farm of Mr. J. C.
Boshof, at the Mooi river, about forty miles from
Pietermaritzburg. Several other mineral productions
of value, as saltpetre, &c., have been found in the
same vicinity. These, with other indisputable signs
of wealth in the Natal territory, stamp the country
with an importance that can scarcely be overrated.
GOLD AT NATAL.—TaIk about gold, copper, and
the other valuable minerals of Natal! How can
they be found to avail if they are not sought for ?
That the country is rich in all the useful minerals
is already demonstrated ; but what of this knowledge
unless it be turned to practical use ? Mr. Herschel
Babbsge was sent out to Australia to undertake a
minearologioal and geological survey of the colony,
and a reward of 1,0001. was offered for the discovery
of gold. Let such encouragement be held out to
Natal, and we will not limit the result. The coal of
Mr. Morevrood's is infinitely better than the big
lumps of gold. We find nothing in the papers to
confirm the discovery of gold in the Water Kloof.

SALE OF TEE MANORS AND ESTATES

OF GOSFORTH.

BY MR. ALDERMAN FAREBROTHER, AT NEWCASTLE.
The sale by auction, under decrees of the High Court
of Chancery, of the important, extensive, and valuable
estates and manors of North and South Gosforth, with
the capital mansions called Gosforth House and Low
Gosforth House, the Seaton Burn and Coxlodge Estates,
with a number of valuable farms, comprising upwards of
4,500 acres of land, also Gosforth Colliery and part of
Coxlodge Colliery, with mines, way leaves, and other
rents, took place on Wednesday and Thursday, 6th
and 7th October, at the Queen's Head Hotel at
Newcastle. This domain, one of the most important
in the county of Northumberland, was the property of
the Rev. Ralph Henry Brandling, who inherited it on
the death of his brother, Charles John Brandling, Esq ,
M.P. for the county of Northumberland, which took
place in 1826.
Lot 1. Comprising !the manors of North and South
Gosforth, capital mansion called Gosforth House, with
the park, gardens, lake, woods, seven hundred and
ninety acres of valuable land, of which three hundred
and sixty-two are in wood, and forty-nine in lakes, &c.,
&c., were pat up at 22,0001. The biddin
till the sum of 25,1001. was reached, when Thomas
Smith, Esq., tenant of the mansion, was declared the
purchaser. gs were spirited
Lot 2. A desirable and highly valuable freehold
estate and mansion called Low Gosforth, with forty
acres of park-like land, gardens, extensive out .offices,
&c., together with two hundred and eighty-seven acres
of rich land, of which forty-nine are in ward, &c., were
put up at 15,0001., and it was finally knocked down to
Joseph Laycock, Esq., of Winlaton, for 20,100/4
The purchase money of each of these lots will be
greatly increased in consequence of the timber grow-
ing upon them, which' is both extensive and valuable,
and which, according to the conditions of sale, is to
be taken at a valuation. Lots 5 to 39 realised sums
amounting in the aggregate to 149,8901.
Lots 3 and 4 were put up together. The former com-
prised the freehold estate and residence called Seaton
Burn House, with pleasure grounds, garden, &c., and
one hundred and thirty-three acres of rich laud; the
latter the freehold estate called the Six Mile Bridge
Farm, containing one hundred and ninety-nine acres of
land, a number of cottages, houses, three parcels of
land containing seven acres, &c., was put up:at 10,0001,
and knocked down, after spirited competition, to Riddell
Robson, Esq., of Whorlton, for 15,000/.
Lot 40. Gosforth Colliery, reserved at 22,5001.
Lot 41. Gosforth Colliery Royalty, reserved at 21,5001.
Lot 42. 4-9 ths of Coxlodge Colliery, reserved at 5,4001.
Lot 43. Royalty of Seaton Barn, reserved at 4,5001.
The amount altogether produced by the sale was
184,9201., exclusive of the value of the timber, realised
by absolute sales; whilst the value of the reserved pro-
perty on the biddings in the aggregate amounts to
79,0701. It would thus appear that the market value
of this fine property in its entirety cannot be far short
of 300,000/.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE,
BOW-STREET.
_

John Lochland, a young man of ruffianly aspect,
who said he was a shoemaker, was charged with
series of murderous assaults upon Martha Williams.
The prisoner lad been remanded twice, owing to
the inability of tEe prosacutrix, from the injuries sus-
tained, to attend and give evidence.

The defendant had immediately wished her to live
with him, but owing to his violence on previous occa-
sions, she refused to ;have anything to do with him.
On the 29th of September last he met her in Drury-
lane, and followed her home. He said that he was
going for a soldier, but wished to see her first. She
tried to avoid him, but be pursued her to the yard at
the back of her lodgings, and there commenced a vio-
lent attack upon her, blackening her eyes and knock-
ing her down, and afterwards breaking two of her
ribs by jumping upon her, and kinking her in the
back and side. _ _

..,..___
Elizabeth Fitzgibbon,
who witnessed the assault,
the defendant from her, confirmed the above state-
ment. She said that he first struck her in the temples,
causing the blood to gush out of them ; and when
she was down he jumped twice upon her, and then
knelt over her, and struck her repeatedly in the
side, breast, and face. She covered her face partly
with her hands, but be struck under them ; and
then, jumping up, kicked her again in the side.
Witness and other women succeeded in holding him
back a little while, and she managed to get to black-
smith's forge opposite ; but •he tore from them, and
fellowed her to the forge, where the prosecutrix was
protected from further violence by three men.
Mr. Clarke, surgeon at Charing. cross Hospital,
stated that he attended the young woman Williams
at her lodgings. The injuries which she had received
were very severe, and she continued in some danger
for ten days, one of her ribs being broken, if not two.
There were symptoms of other internal injuries, and
she was still in a great state of debility, increased by
the medicine which had been given her to prevent in-
flammation in the lungs.
The prisoner, who could not keep his temper in
court, asked the prosecutrix several questions as to
her having previously lived with him, in a tone fero-
city which seemed to indicate a strong desire to re-
new the attack upon her; and he was with difficulty
restrained by the magistrate.
John Dennis, the warrant officer, stated that the
defendant was brought up once before for a similar
assault upon the prosecutrix, who then forgave him.
The defendant admitted striking her " a matter of
a dozen times or so," but denied jumping upon her.
Mr. JARDINE committed him for trial at the next
Westminster sessions.
SOUTHWARK.

George Minns, costermonger, Thomas Kelly, com-
positor, William Fisher, carpenter, Sophia Field,
shoebinder, and Mary Ann Brown, braceuiaker, were
placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, charged with
being found in a house in Unicorn-court, Kent-
street, engaged in the manufacture of counterfeit
coin.

Sergeant Richards, 10 M, stated that on the pre-
vious afternoon, between five and six o'clock, he went
accompanied by Sergeant Woodhouse, and also a boy
to the house, No. 1, in the above court, the door of
which, leading to the court, was open. The boy then
walked up stairs, and knocked at the door of a back
i room on the first floor, and a voice from within called
out, "Who's there ?" The boy answered, "It's all
right," upon which the door, which was barred and
bolted, was undone, and the two sergeants, who were
standing outside, rushed into the room, and saw the
five prisoners, three men and two women, all sitting
round the fireplace busily engaged, some attending to
a pipkin filled with hot metal, while others were
employed in arranging plaster of Paris moulds for
the reception of metal to strike off counterfeit half-
crowns' shillings, and sixpences. Before, however, the
officers had time to make a seizure of the whole of
the implements used in the manufacture of base coin,
the prisoners, on finding they were discovered, dashed
down on the hearth several plaster of Paris moulds,
and smashed them to pieces; but enough were saved
to exhibit the unlawful nature of the business in
which they were engaged. In Kelly's possession was
found a mould with a genuine half-crown in it, and
several counterfeit half-crowns and shillings were
picked up off the floor, all of which were quite hct,
showing that they had been recently manufactured.
Amongst the various articles used by the prisoners,
several bottles containing spirits of wine and other
liquids, together with pounded plaster of Paris, files,
small hammers,: moulds for making different coins to
imitate the current coin of the realm, were discovered
in the room, and now produced in court for the ma-
gistrate's inspection. Some broken spoons were also
discovered, made of metal of a white description.
Fisher made an attempt to escape, but he was over-
taken and secured. The woman Field, who had her
bonnet and shawl on when the officers entered the
room, asserted her innocence, said that she lived in
Shoreditch, and that she only came from thence to
see the prisoners, and to be shown the way in which
they made the counterfeit money.

Mr. SEMLER asked the prisoners if they had any
questions to put, but they all repliedin the negative,
savingy that they had nothing to ask.
Mr. SECKER said that he should commit them all
for trial, but that they should be brought up there
again on that day week, in order to have the autho-
rities of the Mint present.'THAES.

A poor woman, named Mary Ann Hewitt, who ap-
peared in a very weak condition, was brought before
Mr. Ingham, charged with attempting self-destruction.
James White Davis, a labourer, said he was stand-
ing on a wharf on the banks of the River Lea Cut at
Limehouse on Tuesday evening, when a gentleman
from the opposite side called to him, and said that a
female had just thrown herself into the stream. He
looked about, and suddenly the head of a woman ap-
peared above the water, and her clothes were blown
up by the wind. He pulled off his hat and jacket,
and went into the water and caught hold of her. The
bank was perpendicular, and he had great difficulty
in keeping her up until he reached the edge of the
wharf, when a man laid down and held his hand out
He caught hold of the hand, and others then knelt.
down and profered their hands, and he put the woman
on shore, and then climbed the bank and saved him•
self. The prisoner was the woman he saved. She
was apparently dead when he took hold of her. Means
were used to restore animation ; but it was a long
time before she exhibited any signs of life, and she
was then removed to Ratcliff workhouse, where she
had since been under medical treatment.

The prisoner, who stared wildly, and appeared
almost unconscious of what was going on, was called
upon by the MAGISTRATE for her defence, and the
words having been repeated by Roche, the gaoler, she
said, in a low tone, that she had no recollection of
what had taken place, and could not tell how she got
into the water.
Mr. INGIIAM asked if the prisoner was sober when
she was taken out of the water, to which the witness
replied in the affirmative.
A poor man, Rho appeared to have endured great
anxiety and privations, here got into the witness-box
and said, " Please your Worship, its trouble that has
brought my poor wife to this."
Mr. INGRAM-ob, you are the husband. Tell me
all about it.
The Husband—l am a Spitalfields weaver, and I
was out of employment some time, but have got a
little work lately. Last week my poor wife was
troubled in her mind in consequence of her daughter,
who is married, having lost her first child. About
two months ago her mother died, and that preyed
very much on her mind. We could not bury her
without applying to the parish, and that distressed her
more than anything else. She has looked very wild
and haggard ever since. From conversation I have
had with my wife, I know she is very sorry for what
she has done, but distress and a broken heart caused
her to do it.
Mr. INGHAM said there was no doubt this WAS a
case of distress, and that the woman was an object of
pity. He would allow the unfortunate woman to
depart with her husband, and ordered that Davis
should be remunerated for his good conduct and
bravery from the poor-box fund.

THE SUICIDE AT ST. ALBAN'S HOTEL.
An inquest was held at the St. James's workhouse
Poland-street, yesterday, by Air. Langharn, the de-
puty coroner for Westminster, and a jury, to inquire
into the cause of the death of Henry Joseph Brad-
field, who committed suicide three daysh
ego,ar s -isat r etehte,
coffee-room of the St. Alban's Hotel, c
St. James's.
The following witnesses were called :
William Frinley, Pechharn—l have been in the
army, and was a magistrate in the West Indies. I
knew the deceased Henry Joseph Bradfield. I don't
know where he was living of late. He had, some
time ago, a lodging in the Waterloo-road. He had
been educated as a medical men—he told me so ; and
was a surgeon with Lord Cochrane in Greece. After
that he was in the Belgian service, in the Hussars ;
but I knew nothing of him till 1835, when he went
out with me to Trinidad ; we went in the same ship,
and I have known him since. I left him, at the time the
magistrates were dismissed at a moment's warning, in
Trinidad. He was not a magistrate then, but he was a
magistrate up to that time. I don't know on what
ground he was dismissed. We were all dismissed
by
the Governor, Sir George Hill, at a moment's notice.
I did not see or hear of him for some years after-
wards. I understood he went to Barbadoes after-
wards as colonial secretary. I saw him afterwards in
London. He was not pursuing any profession, but I
understood he wanted to be restored as a magistrate
in the colonies. He then had an appointment in St.
Dominica, under the Governor, Colonel M4Donald.
I saw nothing of him from that time till this time
twelve months. He called on me at my house. He
was then doing nothing, and I understood he had
been very ill, and was trying to do the best he could.
He was then in distressed circumstances, and living
on his friends. His wife and child followed him to
Trinidad. I saw him frequently within the last
twelve months. He generally came to me on a Sun-
day, more than once a month on the average. I saw
him last on Monday morning, about half-past
one ; nothing particular took place on that occasion,
but h© was very much depressed in consequence of
the injustice done to him by the Colonial-office, and
he always laboured under that impression. He
dined and slept at my house on Sunday, and he ap-
peered much depressed. When he lived in the 'Wa-
terloo-road his effects were there, and they were kept
for rent which he owed. He told me so himself.
He never made any observations to me to indicate
that he was likel friend commit suicide. He was mainly
, and he went out for four
supported by a
months to Belgium, to see the King of the Belgians,
who know him well. Upon his return I saw him
for a few Sundays, and I learnt afterwards that he
had been to Osborne, endeavouring to see the Queen
who had some knowledge of him. [A packet of
papers was here produced and opened. In the packet
were several poems and other works of the deceased.
One of the books had on the cover, "To her Majesty
Queen 'Victoria," and on another, "To 11. M. the
King of the Belgians. '].

blished se-
veral works. I have seen the paper with the name of
Lord John Russell in his possession. Ido not know
that he had lived in Perk -street, Grosvenor-square.
I have never before seen the letter dated from
Downing street produced. I think that is all I
have to state. I did not see the deceased after
Monday last. On Monday, October 11, he wrote
to me a letter from the Junior United Service
Club. In the letter he accused the Colonial-office of
murdering himself and me. This paper contains a

eatemeot of his case, drawn up by another person.
(Th© packet of
to Mr. Charles Dickens, and his gallant friends
Colonel M'Donald and Captain Grindley.) I cannot
answer whether he had any means of support but
from the gentleman who destroyed himself. On
Monday I recommended bim to go out to Australia,
and to go to Westminster with the view of obtaining
a passage. When he ,eft me on Monday I had nog
notion that he was going to destroy himself. " For
some time he was not himself; in fact, he was
Mt
insane, and had been at one of the hospitals, as I un-
derstood.
The ConoNeet said it was right that the documents
sh mid be laid before the jury. Oue of them
from Lord John Russell, and dated 28th August,
1841, to the Governor of Trinidad, stating that the
deceased had made charges against the authorities
in Trinidad, and that an inquiry into the charges
should immediately be instituted ; and saying that
if injustice had been committed, the deceased should
be reinstated in his office. The coroner read to the
jury a long statement published by the deceased of
his case, containing a correspondence with Lord
John Russell, the Berl of Derby, Sir John raking
ton, and a number of other distinguished men, and -
article in a weekly paper setting forth his case. lin
Mr. George Godwin, 24, Alexander-square,
e
Brornpton, architect—I did not see the deceased, and
never saw him. I received from the 'summoning
officer a letter addressed to me, on Tuesday evening
last. [The letter was in the handwriting of the
de-
ceased.] The letter was written at my house, and
addresses me as an intimate friend, and refers to the
cruelties perpetrated against him, and the desertion
of his vrite. He wishes to be buried by the side of
his mother, in Sc. Margaret's Churchyard. He dis-
poses of his works—mentions the names of gentlemen
who assisted him—and states that be had two boxes
containing MSS., one at Mr. May hall's, in the
Waterloo-road. He came to see me to offer an in-
terior (view of the church at Waterloo. He ap-
peared very faint when he called—he got some wine
and half-a-crown, and he called on the Saturday and
had some more wine and water. I declined the draw-
ings which he wished to leave. This is all I know of
the matter.
Alfred Hammond, St. Alban's Hotel, Charles-
street—l am a waiter. I did not know the deceased.
I first saw him last week at the hotel. He came into
the retail department. He did not stop long. I did
notspeak to him. He had something, but I did not
serve sp
him. I next saw him on Monday evening
about half-past ten. He came into the coffee-room
and had sixpenny-worth of brandy and water, and he I
asked for pen and ink, and sat writing for about an
hour and a half. He ordered a sausage-roll and a
glass of ale after. I left the room, and
when I
turned I found him on the flour. There was no onere-
else in the room at the time. There was a p'eial on
the table. I sent for assistance immediately
th '-

medical man came in. He told the thut it he should
fall asleep, or anything should h?;ppen, to send him
next door to the Junior United Service. onl7 five
minutes elapsed between my leaving him and finding
him dead.

Mr. Frederick Tothill, Charles street, St. James's-
square, surgeon--I did not know the deceased. I
was called into the St. Alban's Hotel on Monday,
batween eleven and twelve o'clock at night. He was
quite dead. There were no marks of external vio-
lence. I saw the glasa, which smelt of prussic acid.
The general appearance of the body was healthy. On
opening the body there was a strong smell of prussic
acid.

Capt'Ain Grindley—I have no idea of his age ; but
he has a father and wife and daughter in London, but
Ido not know where they are. Ido not know whe-
ther he deserted his wife or she deserted him.
Mr. Tothill said—l removed the stomach, which
contained about half a pint of fluid, two-thirds of
which were subjected to analysis, which left no doubt
that poison had been swallowed. I analysed the
contents of the stomach, with the assistance of Mr.
Taylor. I made three analyses, from all of which
the presence of prussic acid discovered would be
enough to cause the death of fifty persons. I did
not examine the brain. The prussic acid was the
cause of death.

The Coroner then summed up the evidence to the
jury, and left it to them to say whether the death
was the result of his own act, and whether, if he
committed the act, he was at the time in a sound
state of mind•

The jury, after a short consultation, returned their
verdict to the effect that the deceased had died by
his own hand, while in a state of temporary insanity.

SHOALING OF THE DOGGERBANEL—The Lightning,
steam-tender, blaster- Commander Allen, with Capt,
Washington, on Monday left the Tyne, having taken
in a supply of coals, and proceeded on a second survey
on the North Sea. Much alarm has been felt at the
shoaling on the Doggerbank, which lies some 60
miles off the north coast of England, and the Admi-
ralty have given instructions for the bank to be
sounded. On the last occasion the Lightning was
out surveying, those on board succeeded in carrying
a line of soundings across the North Sea to the coast
of Denmark, in the parallel of 55 deg. north, return-
ing in the latitude of 54 deg. north to Flamborough
Head, sounding every quarter of an hour, night and
day. We believe as small a depth as 7 fathoms was
found, but information was received from several
fishermen that they have struck bottom at 5i fathoms
on the tail of the Doggerbank, and this within 60 or
70 miles of our own coast—a depth that might be
fatal to a deeply laden vessel crossing from the Baltic.

making a close inspection of the men they proceeded
to their rooms, every one of which was minutely ex-
amined, and then visited the infirmary and the boys'
and girls' schools. They subsequently went to Bun-
ker's-hill, behind the barracks, and saw the Marine
Artillerymen exercise at the great gun practice-
gallery. Their Lordships expressed their satisfac-
tion at the good discipline and excellent condition
of the Plymouth division of this able arm of the
naval service. From the barracks they went to the
Royal Naval Hospital, and then returned to the dock-
yard, where the First Lord held a levee, from 1 to 3

Mr. Armstrong, Master-Attendant. Their Lord-
ships at once visited the bakehouse and mills, which
they inspected most minutely, and then went through
the provision and slop-stores and the other branches
