Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Bull's
Head Inn, Clapham, on the body of Sarah Stone, aged 50,
late cook in the service of the Rev. Dr. Dealtry, Rector of
Clapham. It appeared that deceased's intellects had been
latterly so deranged that, being unable to prepare the dinner
when her master returned home, she had been discharged under
the impression that she was intoxicated, and had for the last
few nights slept at the Bull's Head Inn, where she was found
dead in her bed by the niece of the landlord. The surgeon
who attended deposed that she died of apoplexy, produced by
taking too large a dose of laudanum. A phial which had con-
tained it was found in the room, and a letter to Dr. Dealtry,
requesting him to bury her in a hole or corner of his church-
yard. Verdict—" Died by taking an over-dose of laudanum
while in a state of temporary insanity."
The Suabian Mercury announces that Ibrahim
Pasha had demanded of his father the command of the Egyp-
tian army in Arabia, but the Viceroy was not disposed to ac-
cede to his request.

According to Advices from Vienna, of the 11th,
the Empress had had a serious attack of influenza, but was
then in full convalescence. It was reported that the army was
to undergo further reduction, and that the landwehr would be
disbanded.

DEAFNESS.—There are probably more deaf persons
in this country than in any other country in Europe : in fact
there are but few who hear very acutely. How many, for in-
stance, can hear the insects in the hedges, or a watch tick at
the distance of 12 yards? which all ought to be able to do.
We know, upon unquestionable authority, that the Calmucks
have a good ear and a quick eye, and that they can discern an
army or the tramping of horses at a great distance, when no
sound is perceptible to our ears.
BIRMINGHANI.—Trade is still in a most deplorable
state here, and within these few days there have been several
failures. One firm has failed for 22.0001. The others are
not to so great an extent, but still very heavy.
The Bon Sens states that the Abbe de Pradt, a short
time previous to his decease, sent to the ex- Queen of Naples,
intimating his wish to see her before he died, wbich request
the widow of Murat is said to have immediately complied with.
The 11 th Regiment, vacant by the death of Sir
H. Montresor, will, we are informed, be given to Sir Rufane
Donkin, Colonel of the 80th ; and the latter regiment, it is
believed, will be conferred on either Lieutenant-General
Benjamin Gordon, one of the officers at present receiving a
portion of the rewards set apart for distinguished services, or
Major-General Sir John Taylor, formerly of the 86113.
