THE COAL MONOPOLY.—The Committee to in-
quire into this nefarious subject, met again last Friday, but it
still forbids the publication of its proceedings. We can only
say, therefore, that when the evidence given before it on Fri-
day shall be published, considerable additional light will be
thrown on the monstrous usurpations of the Corporation of
London. It is a disgrace to the metropolis, that it suffers
such a vast amount of mischief to be committed by what is noel
an insignificant, and not very respectable body. The Com-
mittee is to meet again on Wednesday, and we shall do all
we can—namely, watch its proceedings.

On Saturday night last, Mrs. Standford, of Hors-
ham, met with a most melancholy fate, under the following
distressing circumstances :---Mr. Standford had gone into bed,
and, it is presumed, fell asleep, while Mrs. Standford, it ap-
pears, sat at a table in the same room, reclining her head on
her hand. In this situation her cap caught fire, and her cries
soon brought assistance, when the unhappy woman was disco-
vered Iy'ng on the table, with every particle of her dress con-
sumed. The table was also in a state of ignition. The flames
were soon extinguished, but the poor sufferer survived the
calamity until Monday night only, when death relieved her
from earthly trouble. It is said Mr. Standford was fast as, eiP
while the work of destruction was going on. —Sussex Express.
CAPTAIN BRENTON'S LIFE 07 EARL ST.
ViNeENT.—We scarcely think that the task of recording the
life of the great Earl St. Vincent could have fallen into better
hands. Captain Brenton, well known as the author of " The
Naval History," was not only on terms of close intimacy with
him, but had access to all his papers and documents ; henca
we have a most interesting biography of the Noble Earl. ‘%e
have seldom, indeed, read a more meritorious work of the
kind. The author omits nothing of importance, and yet avoids
all detail of insignificant matters. He writes with much
spirit; he is an enthusiastic admirer of his subject, but never
allows his enthusiasm to get the better of his judgment. The
book is one which is sure of finding its way into extensive
circulation, particularly among the officers of the nary.--

Many of the curious went to see the Noble Lord, who has 110 t
been in this city since his nearly fatal trip to Bergen. His
Lordship looks in good health, and does not at all look the
worse of the northern 6, morning star," which, we apprehend,
will be long associated with his name.— Waterford Chronicle.
It is stated that the Foreign Ambassadors and
Ministers have received official intimation that her Majesty's

Hyde. Park, yesterday, from two till half-past three,
p.m exhibited a very gay scene, the drive near Apsley Howe
being thronged with brilliant equipages and equestrians, who
were anxious to see her Majesty the Queen return from her
afternoon ride in the Parks. The Queen was mounted on a
favourite Arabian, and was attended by Lord Byron, the
Countess of Durham, Baroness Lehzen, the Hon, Colonel
Cavendish, &c. Her Majesty entered the garden-gate 00
Constitution-hill, which was crowded with pedestrians.
Two days ago the Baron de took his wife

thing's head.

Yesterday morning, about half-past eight o'clock, a
respectably dressed man, apparently between forty and forty-
five years of age, attempted to commit suicide by jumping into
the river, a short distance above Vauxhall-bridge. ne
plunged in from the bank on the Surrey side. A waterman
who was rowing by in a wherry caught hold of him just as be
was sinking, and succeeded in getting him ashore. He was at
first insensible, but he came to himself in a few minutes. 11'3
begged very hard not to be exposed, and a gentleman and the
waterman agreed to see him home in a hackney-coach.
THE LATE EXTENSIV.E JEWEL ROBBERY "I
DUBLIN.-Yesterday large hand-bills were received at the
different metropolitan police-offices,
giving a list of the
different valuables belonging to the Duchess of Leinster
which were stolen from the Dublin residence of his Grace the
Duke of Leinster on the 19th inst., and offering a reward of
3001. for the apprehension and conviction of the offender or
offenders, and the recovery of the property ; or 1001. for such
private information as may lead to the apprehension and con-
viction of the parties implicated in the robbery. The hand-
bill is accompanied by a sheet, on which there is a lithographic
irawing of some of the more splendid and valuable articles
I carried away.
Yesterday morning, one of the servants of Mr.
Sarson, of the vinegar manufactory in the City-road on enter-
ing his master's stable was surprised to find that two of the
horses were lying dead, and two others were violently con-
vulsed, and exhibiting every appearance of having been
poisoned. A veterinary surgeon was called in, who adminis-
tered the proper remedies to the poor animals, but It is feared
that ho will be unable to save them. The contents of their
stomachs are about to be analysed, as there is no doubt as to
their having been wantonly destroyed by some miscreant, al-
though suspicion points to no one who could have a motive for
such cold-blooded atrocity.

Put out his leg, while he held on to the bulwarks to save him!
The poor Waterman clung to, the captain's leg for several
minutes while the vessel was going on, but was at last com-
