An inquest was held to-day on the body of
William Gamble, who committed suicide. He was, previ-
ous to the melancholy occurrence, groom to Colonel Vyse.
The jury found that deceased committed suicide while in a
state of temporary insanity.
A MAN SHOT BY A VOLUNTEER.—A young lad
named C. Ridley, 19 years of age, a boilermaker in Messrs.
Stephenson's factory, and a Volunteer Rifleman, is in the
custody of the Newcastle-on-Tyne police, charged with
shooting J,mes Rendall, a cabinetmaker. A prize given by
Mr. Hcadlam, M.P., has to be Shot for this week, at the riff •
range, Byker-hill, and Ridley had been out at the range
practising on Saturday evening. Upon returning to the
town he had gone to Rendall's residence, in Gibson-street,
being upon friendly terms with him. Soon after entering he
said to Rendall, " Jem, I'll shoot you," and he put a cap
on the nipple of his rifle. Rendall replied "Mind what
you are doing; that rifle is not made to be played with."
At the very moment, however, the rifle was discharged by
Ridley, a bullet entering Rendall's right side, passing
through the abdomen, and shattering one of his arms fear-
fully above the wrist to the elbow. He was able to walk to
the infirmary. He is extremely ill, and in a very dange-
rous state. His arm will have to be amputated. Ridley
is horrified at the effects of his folly, for there is no doubt
he thought his rifle was unloaded. He states that he fired
all the charge at Byker, and left his rifle lying in the grass
until he examined the target. And he can only account
for the accident by the circumstance that some one must
have loaded his rifle, taking it for his own, and, having
found out his mistake, laid it down again,
MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A LEICESTER MAWS-
TEATE.—We regret to record the death of Mr. J. F. Hol-
lings, of Leicester. Deceased married the sister of Mr. J.
Biggs, late M.P. for the borough, and his wife died in May
last. Since that time Mr. Hollings has been prostrate in
mind and body; and although latterly he was thought to
be rallying, he was found dead in his bedroom on Sunday
morning, in a manner which gave every reason to believe
that the unfortunate gentleman had committed suicide.
Deceased had qualified himself for the bar, but never prac-
tised his profession. He was eminently a man of letters,
and took part In the educational, social,
and political move•
ments of the time. He was a borough magistrate, and was
mayor in 18 ',O. His death is greatly regretted by all classes,
and it will occasion a blank which will not readily be filled
up.

The Phare de la Loire reports that at a Protes
tent wedding, which took place the other day at Nantes, a
Catholic priest came into the church with his hat on. When
asked to remove it ho refused, saying that he considered
himself in the street and not in the house of God. The
sexton's wife took off his hat, whereupon he abused her
grossly and was with difficulty put out of the church. Th•
name of this faithful son of Rome ought to be made public.
The female hippopotamus at the Garden of
Plants, Paris, gave
birth to a young one last week; but,
t died in a short time.
