According to a letter from Switzerland, in the Cour-
rier Francais, Prince Louis Buonaparte, who remains at
Arenenberg, has received from the Grand Duke of ifiden
a formal notice not to set foot within the Grand Duchy,
nor even to pass through the town of Constance.
Thomas Norton, the man who has been in custody
some days on suspicion of having been concerned in the
incendiary conflagration at Chalk, near Gravesend, was yes-
terday brought before the Magistrates, and discharged on
his own recognizance.
Yesterday a general muster took place of such of the
police of the G division as were not on duty, in order to
present a testimonial of their respect to William Grove, late
a Sergeant and Deputy Inspector in that division. The
Worship-street Magistrates lately chose him in preference
to many competitors to supply a vacancy in that estab-
lishment, and yesterday his former comrades of the G
division presented him with an exceedingly handsome
silver staff, with sculptured ivory handle, and an inscrip-
tion on it, expressive of the high estimation in which
they had held him.
MURDERS.-At the Glasgow Assizes last week,
Ann Semple was charged with the murder of her own
daughter, by drowning her. The evidence against her was
conclusive, and she was sentenced to be executed on the
18th inst.—At the same Assizes, William Perrie was in-
dicted for the murder of his wife, Mary Mitchell. After a
short trial, the Jury found the prisoner Guilty ; and sen-
tence of death was pronounced—to be carried into execu-
tion at Paisley on the 18th of October.
The North London School of Medicine and Sur-
gery was opened on Tuesday in Charlotte-street, Blooms-
bury. Mr. Lucas, Professor of Surgery and Anatomy,
delivered an introductory address, in which he strongly ad-
vocated the necessity of studying both branches of the
science of medicine conjointly, and condemned in as strong
terms all attempts to separate them from one another.
'the address was clear, forcible, and in general elegant ;
tie audience were numerous and respectable ; and the
speaker was much applauded at its conclusion
On Monday last, a gentleman named Perkins, re-
siding in Church-street, Paddington, went to the Bank for
the purpose of receiving cash for a check of 3001. He
received 250/. in Bank of England notes and 501. in so-
v'7reigns. He placed the notes in his pocket-book, and
after railing at several places he took a cab, and proceeded
homeward; where he arrived, discharged the cab, and went
to deposit tlifl cash in his bureau ; but 10, on feeling his
pocket the book rontaining the notes was gone. He then
recollected that, whilst drawing out his pocket handkerchief
in the cab, he had withdrawn the pocket-book, which, being
bulky, had prevented his getting at the handkerchief, and
he at once concluded that he had left it in the cab. He
was ignorant of the number of the vehicle, but immediately
posted off to the nearest coach-stand in Quebec-street,
where the first interesting object that met his sight was
the identical cab, into which he instantly sprung, with an
eagerness that' attracted the attention of the bystanders,
and to his great satisfaction discovered his pocket-book
lying on the seat with its contents quite safe.
On Monday last, as Me. Glenister, of Buckland-
comtnon, near St. Leonard's, Weudover, Bucks, was placing
a loaded fowling-piece in a chaise with other things, he in-
cautiously held it by the muzzle, when the trigger having,
it is supposed, been caught by something which forced down
the hammer, it discharged the contents into the unfortunate
man's abdomen, and although surgical aid was soon obtained,
nothing could save him ; he sunk under it in two hours.
It is with deep regret that we have to record the
death of Patrick Stuart, Esti., Assistant-Surgeon of the
°Mb Regiment, which took place at Baroda on the Ist of
May last, under the most melancholy circumstances. Dr.
Stuart was the sixth and younger son of the la. e Mr. John
Stuart, 13alvenie Castle, Banffshire ; and was, unhappily,
cut off at the early age of thirty-one. Dr. Stuart had gone
out tiger-shooting to a place called Nulla. After. shooting
a young one (and a long interval elapsed without his .seeing
any more) he handed over his gun to one of the bearers ;
shi:rtly subsequent to ivhich. a tigress suddenly sprung upon
him while lie was walking upon the banks of the Nulla,
pulled him down, and did not quit him until she hail bitten
him in four different places in the left shoulder most st-
verely, besides inflicting wounds on his back, and in his right
side. When ho was brought into camp, severely it ounded
as he was, no apprehension appeared to be entertained of
his being in a dangerous way ; and, until next morning, he
was to all appearances doing well. After ten next morning,
however, he was suddenly taken ill ; when Dr. Caskill was
sent for, who administered a composing draught to him,
but which proved of no avail.—Elgin Courant.
