The Finance Committee of Worcester have resolved
" that the silver bands to the hats of the Mayor's officers be
dispensed with, as an unnecessary expense."

SUICIDE OF A MEDICAL YOUTll.—Yesterday
afternoon an inquisition was taken before Mr. Stirling, at the
Queen's Arms, Acton-street, Gray's Inn-road, on view of the
body of Mr. Henry Stevens, aged 19, who committed suicide
by swallowing prussic acid. Mr. Evans, assistant to Mr.
Archibald M'Donald, surgeon, Acton-street, deposed that
the deceased, whose parents reside at Kensington Gore, was
pupil to Mr. M'Donald, with whom he had been some years.
On Saturday last he was to leave on account of some difference
which he had with Mr. M'Donald. About six o'clock he
went to his room to put his wearing apparel in his trunk.
Shortly after witness followed to assist him ; but he could ob-
tain no admission, as the door was fastened. Mr. M•Donald,
accompanied witness to the room, and by whose order a
blacksmith was sent for who forced the lock. The deceased
was then found lying in bed and dead. Witness, subsequently,
by direction of Mr. M'Donald, called on Mr. Morton, who
supplies him with medicine, when he informed witness that
the deceased had that afternoon obtained a phial of the above
poison, arid of the greatest strength. The phial was found
at the foot of the bed. By the Coroner.—The deceased was
of a most irritable temper, and easily excited. Mr. Archi-
bald M'Donald stated that for the last four months the con-
duct of the deceased had been such that he gave him orders
to leave him on Saturday. The unfortunate youth was one
of the best pupils he ever had, and was most attentive to bu-
siness, but his temper was unbearable. Mr. Evans stated
that it was a constant remark of the deceased that stations
were nothing, and that he was inferior to no one. Verdict—
" Temporary Insanity."

The number of fires in this neighbourhood (Exeter),
within the last eight or ten days, has raised the suspicion that
they arc the work of incendiaries. On Thursday evening,
after the engines had left Silverton, it was discovered that
Flayne-farm, in that parish, the residence of Mr. Elworthy,
was on fire, and a reward of 501. had been offered by the
West of England-office, and 201. additional by Captain W3nd-
ham, to discover the authors of this diabolical crime. On
Tuesday the Pound house of Mrs. Webber, Silverton, was
burnt down. On Monday the house at Oskford-mills, on the
Crediton-road, was burnt down, owing, it is thought, to a
fissure in the oven.— Western Times.

On Saturday evening an inquest was held in the
Board-room of St. George's Hospital, Hyde Park-corner, on
the body of William Henry Ray, aged 26. The deceased was
guard to one of the mail coaches. On Sunday last he got
upon one of the Chelsea omnibuses at the Black Boy and
Camel, Leadenhall-street, to proceed to Hyde Park-corner.
On the omnibus reaching opposite Engine-street, Piccadilly,
it received a severe jerk in consequence of going over a large
stone, which threw the deceased from his scat. The coachman
instantly pulled up his horses, but the near fore-wheel went
over the deceased. The unfortunate man was conveyed to
the above hospital, when it was ascertained that both his
thighs were broken, and he was otherwise much injured. lie
lingered until Thursday, when he died of the injuries ho had
received. Verdict—Accidental Death.

None of the rivers of South Africa are, to any ex-
tent, navigable ; and, if navigable within, they are generally
inaccessible or difficult of access from without. Along a coast
of 1,500 miles no good and safe, or at least available harbour
has yet been discovered ; some arc exposed to the fury of the
westerly winds, and some to the fury of the easterly. Both
occasionally roll in a tremendous surf, which makes anchorage
unsafe, and landing often impracticable. The best port ►s
Saldanha Bay, but the country around is a dreary desert of
sand ; there is no good water, except a weak spring, found
by boring through a granite rock ;" and the place it inconve-
niently situated, even for affording shelter to ships in distress.
