THE WATERLOO-ROAD MURDER.—The inquest
on the body of the unfortunate woman, Maria
Green, was held to-day, but the evidence was merely a re-
petition of that we published yesterday, As a true bill for
wilful murder has already been returned by the Grand Jury
at the Central Criminal Court, a coroner's inquiry appears
to be totally unnecessary.

A (3rooD CREATURE—RATHER IN THE WAY.—
When somebody tried to convince br. Johnson that the
Wesleyan Methodists ought to be admitted to the Univer-
sity of Oxford on the ground that they were " very good
creatures," he replied, "Sir, a cow is a good creature, but
we don't want her in a flower-garden.,,

HIGH TIDE IN THE RIVER.--Or: Sunday after-
ndon there was a very high tide in
the Thames, which
caused considerable damage. The Temple-gardens were
flooded to the sun-dial in the middle of the greensward.
Dr. W. B. Parkes, who some years ago, married
Miss Amy Sedgwick, the well known actress, died in Lon-
don, on Friday.
