Dreadful Tragedy near Coventry.

Much excitement has been created in the 'vil-
lage of Fillongley, near Coventry, by a vory shock-
ing tragedy which has just occurred there. Dur-
ing last week, rumours were in circulation res-
pecting the death of a young woman, named Jane
Dalby, the wife of a labourer residing in the vil-
lage ; and certain information having reached the
ears of the rural police officer, an inquest was
opened on the body by Mr. Alfred Carter, coroner,
On Wednesday week, at the Weaver's Arms, Fil-
longley, The husband of the deceased then gave
evidence to the effect that on the previous Sa-
turday, on going home from work, at about
half-past seven in the evening, he found his
wife seriously ill. She requested him to go for Mr.
La Fargue, a surgeon, who had been attending her
during the previous fortnight. She complained of
great pain in her left side and in her back. Before
going to the medical man he locked the door after
him, leaving his wife in bed. When he came back,
having called on his wife's mother on the way, he
found the doctor had just arrived, and was waiting
to be admitted. He tried but could not unlock the
door, the button which fastened the latch from within
having slipped down or been placed down, so as to
prevent the door being opened, The door was burst
open, and they went up stairs and found the de-
ceased lying dead by the side of the bed. Police-
constable Pittaway produced two bottles—one con-
taining a small quantity of laudanum, which the
husband said he took for his complaint, and the
other a lotion, which he said he rubbed his side
with. After this evidence had been taken the in-
quest was adjourned till Thursday. On the fol-
lowing Sunday
the husband went to chv.:ch,
and after the service to the house of his
mother-in-law, •where he swallowed a quantity of
prussic acid, which caused almost instant death. A
letter written by the deceased man was subse-
quently found, in which ae stated that his wife had
diea from the effects of noison, which ho had in-
duced her to take, and, that he had promised to
,t join her at the Throne of Grace on that day
week." A post ntortena examination will be made
on the bodies.—Btr2ninglaam Daily Post.

The name of Bohea, by which the tea grown in

un-
known to the native growers. "Imperial," or " Yu-tien,"
is the only exception, I believe; and this, which is only
served on occasions of great ceremony, consists of the young
leaves of (not any rare sorts) the tea plant, and is the
same tea as that iz entioned by Du Halde, and called by him
" Mao-tcha," formerly stated to have been kept entirely for
the emperor.

Biarritz is fixed for September 10. The Charentais

Prince Imperial arrived here at a quarter past six on Mon-
day evening. Tier Majesty immediately
entered the re-
freshment room and took her scat at table, having on her
right the young Prince, and on her left the Countess de
MO/IW°. Covers were laid for 17, and another table of 40
was arranged for the persons of her Majesty's suite. The
Empress was most gracious during dinner, and the Prince
Imperial was in high spirits. The train was composed of
ten carriages, five of which composed the Imperial
saleous.':
