MANSLAUGHTER AT LIMEHOUSE.

Last evening Mr. H. Raffles Walthew,stt athe de-
putythe coroner, resumed an adjourned inquest
Crown Tavern, Narrow-street, Limehouse, respect-
ing the death of John Godden, aged 50 years, who
died from violence inflicted by a man named John
Harrington, a coal porter.
The deceased was a labourer on board the Guernsey
stone ships in the Regent's Canal Dock, Rate
On the night of Sunday week, about 11 o'clock, the
deceased was standing at the corner of London-
street, when the man Harrington came out of his
house and addressed the deceased, whom he knocked
down with great violence with his clenched fist.
Several of the neighbours went up to the spot and
remonstrated with Harrington at his brutality,
when he threatened to serve them the same, ex-
claiming, " Any man that calls me a - Irish-
man, if I can't fist him I will boot him." The de-
ceased was raised up and conveyed home by a police
constable and a sailor, who placed him upon the
floor of his room. He remained in a state of uncon-
sciousness until the following morning, when Mr.
M'Andrew, the surgeon of Limehouse, attended,
and prescribed for the deceased, who never rallied,
and died on Thursday last,
Several witnesses proved the violence, and spoke
as to the general conduct of the man Harrington,
who was the terror of the neighbourhood.
Mr. M'Andrew, M.R.C.S., said that the deceased
was in a state of insensibility. He had since made
a post mortem examination of the body, and death
was the result of fracture of the base of the skull
and effusion of blood on the brain. The injury was
caused by external violence.
The Coroner read over the voluminous evidence,
and summed up the chief points of the case, after
which the jury returned a verdict of "Manslaughter
against John Harrington for killing and slaying
John Godden."
The Coroner then made out his warrant for the
committal of the accused to Newgate.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE MAIL.

PLYMOUTH, Tuesday.

The Union Company's steamer Roman, with the
above mail, arrived here this evening. Her dates
are Table Bay, 20th ult. ; St. Helena, 28th ult. ;
Ascension, 2d inst. She brings 67 passengers,
among whom are Lord Sandys and the Hon. P. De
Roubaix.

The Cape Parliament, although it had been 64
days in session, had done little beyond voting the
estimates. The votes for the police and gaols were
reduced by about £16,000. A motion declaring that
the time had arrived when the establishment of a
responsible or party government was expedient and
necessary, had been discussed for three days. Most
of the members of the greatest parliamentary expe-
rience and influence were for the change, but it was
known that a numerical majority of members would
record their votes against it. The government had
maintained perfect neutrality in the matter. A
vote of censure had been passed on the colonial en-
gineer and the chief commissioner of the works de-
partment for extravagance and inefficiency in con-
structing public works. The governor had offered
to remove Mr. Scott Tucker (who is now in England
on leave) on a handsome retiring allowance, and to
alter the management of the public works depart-
ment.
The government proposal for purchasing the
Cape Town and Wellington Railway had been re-
ferred to a select committee. The proposed new
railway schemes had gone no further than the
Government being empowered to prepare careful
surveys and estimates for the guidance of the
Le-
gislature next year. The Assembly had refused to
authorise
an
expenditure of £4,000 per annum for
a trigometrical survey of the colony.
The weather continued fine, with frequent
showers. There had only beau
one severe gale
during winter. Pasturage was abundant,
and on whole
plentifull and falling in price.

Business was dull, and money scarce. The banks
were unable to discount even first•class paper.
The Gorgon
besi. had arrived with news from Zam-
besi. Livingstone was about to proceed to
Great Lake Nyassa. At the University Mission,
River Shire, the Rev. Mr. Scudamore was dead.
Animal food was so scarce that it was feared the
missionaries would not be able to remain there.

All was quiet on the frontier. In the free State
the movement in favour of re-annexation was ex-
tending. Negotiations were pending with the ob-
ject of bringing Basutos under British rule..
The Odin arrived and left on the 30th of May
for Portsmouth. The Osprey arrived and sailed for
China.

The Roman made the passage out in 30 days, and
home in 31 days.
Her mails have been landed and forwarded to
London by to•night's mail train.

Joy.—How often does it happen in families that the least
robust are the most precious. In such. cases how much
misery would be spared if these purifying, invigorating, and
laxative pills were judiciously administered. Holloway's
admirable pills have worked their way by their intrinsic
merits, and in spite of interested opposition have established
their supremacy as a household remedy, equally well adapted
for the derangements of the strong and the infirmities
of the sickly. Those corrective Pills rarely fail to remove
the seeds of disease and to overcome all injurious results
arising from luxurious indulgence, irregular hours, and
similar causes. To the weak this medicine is a precious
boon, as it re-endows them with full health and strength,
