By ANDREW COMBE, M.D., &c.
Dr. Coesbe must be placed in the first rank of the popular ex-
pounders of science. He seems to us to stand alone in the power
which he possesses of imparting interest to the matters that employ
his pen, without deviating from the sobriety and gravity proper to
philosophic exposition.' —Spectator

On Friday, the Edinburgh mail commenced running
by Askern and Selby to York, instead of going, as hereto-
fore, by way of Ferrybridge and Tadcaster. The letters
from Doncaster to Ferrybridge and Tadcaster will, in future,
be conveyed by the Glasgow mail to Pontefract. The let-
ters for Thorne and Snaith will be conveyed by a gig mail,
instead of the two-horse mail, which is discontinued.

DEATH OF AN ALLEGED MISER.--A paragraph
has gone the round of the newspapers stating that an indi-
vidual usually called " Old Joe," who for many years swept
the crossing in Scotland-yard, had died, leaving personal
property to the amount of 1,6001., in addition to 'several
freehold houses. From inquiries made upon the spot, the
following appear to be the plain facts of the case. The de-
ceased, whose name was John Whitmore, had lived for the
last 20 years in a wretched hovel in Pump-court, Duck-
lane, Westminster, and had severally promised nearly a
dozen persons that they should inherit his property upon
his decease. A Mrs. Ridsdall, living in Whitehall-place,
has given orders for his funeral, but although every search
has been made, neither money, nor documents to show that
he was possessed of any, have been found ; and from his
well-known intemperate habits, it is generally supposed he
spent the contributions of charitable individuals in dissi-
pation. The fire-place, the cup-boards, and several other
parts of the room have been taken down, but without dis-
covering any trace of property.

Owing to the state of the weather last week, the
Irish imports, though considerable, have not been so large
as for several weeks preceding.

TIIE EDGEWARE-ROAD MURDER.—Every day
strengthens the belief that the above barbarous murder
must have been perpetrated by some of the men connected
with the boats on the Regent's Canal. In consequence of
a communication from the Commissioners of Police to Mr.
Goldis the superintendent of the above canal, a neat mo-
del of one of the above vessels has been made, and was yes-
terday forwarded to Mr. Felthatn, one of the inspectors of
the T division. From an inspection of this model, it appears
likely that the head adhered to one of these boats, and was
carried down the canal by it. This opinion is so prevalent,
that it has been resolved to drag the canal near Maida-hill,
in hopes of finding the legs.
A French gentleman had an interview with Sir F.
Roe at Bow-street, yesterday morning, upon the subject of
the late curious statement of the Spanish lady, and it was
understood that this gentleman was able to throw some light
upon the matter ; but the interview was a private one.
Monday the following frightful accidents occurred
in Great Scotland-yard, to Mr. Weston (the cement-
maker), his groom, and a lady unknown :-r-It,appears that
the unfortunate gentleman was proceeding glow Charing-
cross in his gig, accompanied by hoirvmeWhen his horse,

Charing-cross Hospital, where she lies without the slightest
hope of recovery. The horse then proceeded more furiously
until he arrived opposite a wagon loaded with coals, which
he went furiously past ; the wheel of the gig coming with
fearful collision against that of the waggon, the unfortunate
gentleman and hi.; groom were thrown against it, and both
their skulls most severely fractured. The horse then pro-
ceeded towards a large counting-house window belonging
to Messrs. Whitbread and Co., lime-burners, which he
dashed through, and nearly killed himself on the spot,
breaking the gig in pieces. Mr. Weston and his groom
were picked up and conveyed into a house. Surgical aid
being procured, their wounds were dressed, but so exten-
sive are those of Mr. Weston, that no hopes are entertained
of his recovery.

The bridge of boats on the Rhine, at Cobleutz, was
carried away on the 20th ult. by one of those large :timber
rafts which are periodically sent • down that river to Hol-
land. The boatmen assert that they took the ordinary
precautions, but that the increased height of water in the
Rhine prevented their having the usual effect.
