Saturday morning, between seven
,and eight, Mr.
Coats, boot and shoemaker, 15, James-street, Covent-
garden, put a period to his existence by cutting his throat
with a razor. He got up as usual, opened the shop, and
afterwards retired to the back parlour, where he committed
tibe rash act. On Mrs. Coats coming into the parlour a
few minutes after she discoved him weltering in his blood,
with his head nearly severed from the body. Surgical as-
sistance was immediately procured, but he was dead.

On Saturday the orderly man of the Blues was re-
turning from his duties at the Horse Guards, and being
mounted on a very high-bred but rather vicious mare, she
commenced kicking and plunging on entering the Park at
Hyde Park Corner, in a manner that very much alarmed
the passers-by. The mare could not unseat the man, who
rode her in the most beautiful style ; but on reaching the
bridge at the back of Goding's brewery she bounded at one
spring completely over the parapet, and fell on the bank
beneath, a depth of about eighteen or twenty feet. The
man was slightly hurt on the back by the cuirass, but the
mare was not in the least injured. The man's name is
William Good, of Major Smith's troop.
On Saturday night last, as a carman in the employ
of Mr. Houlditeh, vinegar-maker, of Bankside, South-
wark, was driving his horse and cart towards Storey's
Gate, St. James's Park, his foot came in contact with a
stone ; he fell down under the horse's feet, and before be
could extricate himself one of the wheels went over his
loins. Some few persons who witnessed the accident
stopped the horse and conveyed the unfortunate man to
the Westminster Hospital, where every attention was paid
to him, but death terminated his sufferings last Monday
e% ening. _ _

Although individuals born in Guernsey have in
England all the rights that pertain to every inhabitant of
Great Britain, yet no person barn out of this small island
can exercise the common rights and privileges of an inhabi-
tant without first obtaining letters of naturalization from
the Royal Court. • -Cmict.

THE: LIVERPOOL MAIL—We observe that a line
of available railway has been completed between London
and a station on the Grand Junction, distant about thirty
miles from the metropolis. It is the bounden duty of the
Postmaster-General promptly to adopt such measures as
shall ensure the conveyance of the Liverpool mail along
practicable trams. We say it is his bounden duty, for by
persisting in sending the letter bags the whole length of the
distance between London and Birmingham by coach, the
mail arrives at its destination two hours later than the time
at which, by an alteration in the conveyance of it, it might be
brought. The reason is obvious ; the coach will occupy up-
wards of three hours and a half in travelling the 30 miles, while
the railway engines will skim over that space in one hour.
The letters and papers which arc not in the Liverpool post-
otlice before half-past II o'clock, might be and ought to be
due at nine. Besides, it. frequently occurs that, important
communications from London, despatched in order that they
may be forwarded by some of the foreign Liverpool packets,
do not overtake the conveyance for which they are destined,
unless they arrive before 10 or 11. We might instance the
case of the American packets, which may happen to sail at an
early tide. At present we dismiss the subject. We cannot
forbear, however, enforcing on the mercantile community,
the immediate necessity of discussing by petition or remon-
strance, an advantage which the Government are bound to
extend to them, and which would materially facilitate the
internal operations of trade.
The tronmasters' quarterly meetings took place at
the usual towns last week, but were not marked by any
particular change in the trade. Prices remain the same,
and the demand is expected to he steady. The wages of
the miners and others have been lately advanced 3d, and
in some cases 6d. per day..---Worcester Herald.
Herrings are selling at Ramsgate at 70 for a
shilling, and immense numbers are daily forwarded to Lon-
don per steam.

A beautiful specimen of the wild cat has been
lately added to Dr. Sinclair's admired collection of birds
and quadrupeds. The animal, which is exceedingly rare
in this country, was shot about a fortnight ago, a few miles
beyond Latheron Wheel by the gamekeeper to the Hon.
Robert Dunbar, of that place. The length of this wild
animal from the snout to the tip of the tail is three feet six
inches, height sixteen and a half inches, and it measures six
inches across the head between the ears. On its being
dissected the leg of a moorfowl, as well as some of the
hones of the head of a rabbit, were found within it. One
of the wild cat species was shot some time ago in Brae-
more, similar to the one belonging to Dr. Sinclair ; and
we have heard a story of one of a still more ferocious na-
ture that was destroyed in Sutherlandshire not many years
ago, but not before it had killed two dogs that were set on
it.—John o'Groat Journal.
A splendid aurora borealis appeared at Geneva at
7 P.m, on Wednesday last. It is a singular fact, that
last year a similar phenomenon had been observed there
precisely on the same day of the month and at the same
hour.
