SUDDEN DEATH OF JOSEPH EDGAR, ESQ., SOLICITOR,
OF WESTON-SUPER-MARE, SOMERSET.—This melancholy
and painful event took place on Friday afternoon, be-
tween three and four o'clock, at his residence, Swiss-
villa, Locking-road. It appears that the deceased gen-
tleman was seixed in the night with violent pains in the
intestines, caused by inflammation. Immediately upon
the family being apprised of his illness the best medical
skill was at once procured ; but such was the power and
virulence of the disease • that in about twelve hours from
the time of the attack death terminated his painful
sufferings.
TREASURY NOTICE.—The following notice, issued by
order of the Lords of the Treasury, as regards the pay-
ment of,the Bills of Exchange, was put up on Wednesday
at the Bank of England and the Royal Exchange :
"Noticeis hereby given, that all bills of exchange ac,
cepted at the Paymaster-General's Office, Whitehall, or
at the Treasury, or Admiralty, payable on the Paymas-
ter-General's account at the Bank of England, which
fell due on Monday next, 26th inst., will be paid if pre-
sented, on Saturday, the 24th inst. But such bills due
on the 26th inst., which are not presented for payment
on the 24th inst., will be paid as usual on the 26th inst.,
if required."

THE MAIIILEDONE INQUlRY.—Wednesday, the inquiry
was again resumed by Mr. Austen. Mr. Edward
Joseph, a surgeon, had vaccinated Walsh's child, and
had seen it the day before it died, in order to ascertain
if the operation had been successful. The child then
appeared to be quite well. Had afterwards made a post
mortem examination of it. The body presented no ap-
pearance of emaciation ; and the stomach was nearly
full of milk. Witness considered that the child had
died front asphyxia or suffocation, most probably occa-
sioned by its having been too well wrapped up. The
inquiry was adjourned till to-morrow.
THE HOLIDAY ON MONDAY, DEc. U.—Wednesday,
notices were posted at the various hospitals to the effect
that regular. out-patients will not be attended to on the
above-mentioned day, but medicines will be issued to
to them either the Saturday previous or on Tuesday.
Accidents and urgent cases will receive the usual prompt
attention as on other days. The several savings' banks
have also notified to depositors that the establishments
will remain closed on Monday, the 26th, but that de-
posits, notices of withdrawal, &c., will be received and
payments made.on Saturday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
In the City, business will be refrained from altogether,
notices to that effect being exhibited in every shop and
counting-house, and bakers, butchers, and greengrocers
intend to close their establishments during the whole
day.
