BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The Note-Book of
Coroner's Clerk, which, heretofore disclosed many a tale of
horror and mystery, this month opens a new and startling
page connected with the Stanfield-Hall murders. Curiosity
will be much piqued by this publication, but as the unfor-
tunate accused, Rush, is yet untried, we cannot do more at
present than mention the fact, that his dreadful story
is jotted down in the Note-book of the Coroner's Clark,
from information obtained by one who knew both the
murdered persons, and who was present at more than one
examination of the accused. The clever author of " Way-
side Pictures through France, Belgium, and Germany,"
continues his tour with great spirit, and alternately informs
and amuses the reader with vivid description, pleasant
tale, and quaint romamce. The poetical legend of the
" Dyer and the Dominican," the first part of which appears
in this number, is full of humour and vivacity. Were not
our columns so overladen with heavier stuff, we should cer-
tainly make an extract from this light, lively legend, which
partakes largely of that comic vein for which the late Mr
Barham (Ingoldsby) was remarkable. —Morning Post. .
THE LATE Da. Ctuoox.—The place where the
body of this deceased gentleman was found, was yesterday
visited by upwards of 5,000 persons.
Fox CLUB.—The following members of the Fox
Club held their second !meeting this year on Saturday, March
3, at 13rooka's i—Earl Grey, Sir Robert Adair, Mr. Rowland
Alston, Mr. Stephenson,. Mr. A. K. Stephenson, Earl of
Strafford, Lord Marcus WA, M.P., Dr. Lushington, Colonel
Ferguson, M.P., Mr. Frederick Dundas, Mr. Gibson Craig,
M.P., Viscount Enfield, 31. P., Lord Dinorben, Mr. E. Aysh-
fort Sandford, Sir George Philips, M.P., Viscount Milton,
M.P., Hon. Fox Mauls, M.P., and the Earl of Camperdown.
FEMALE ORPHAN Asmat.--Yesterday morning
the Lord Mayor and Slaeriffs,attended Divine service in the
chapel of the Female Orphan Asylum, Lambeth. The ser-
mon was preached to a crowded congregation by the Rev. S.
R. Cattley, chaplain to the Earl of Scarborough, to the Lord
Mayor, and to the charity. The Duke of Cambridge was
expected, but was unable, from unavoidable engagements, to
attend. The collection amounted to 761., and ten guineas
promised from a life guardian.
Tam CArs or GOOD Hore.—We have received
files of papers from the, Cape of Good Hope to the 21st of
December inclusive. The only fact of importance they bring
is the announcement of the withdrawal, by the Governor, of
the Militia Bill—a Bill so odious to the population of the
colony, that it threatened the peace and trantuillity of the
whole community. Dissatisfaction had increased to such an
extent, that if the Bill had not been withdrawn the most
serious consequences might have been anticipated.
MABISCIIAL COLLEGR, ABERDEEN.--The annual
election of a Lord Rector for this University took place on
Thursday, Ist March. The gentlemen nominated were Lord
Robertson and Mr. Sheriff Gordon, of Edinburgh. The lat-
ter was the successful nominee, by a majority in three na-
tions out of the four. The Learned Sheriff will be installed
into the rectorial chair, and will deliver his inaugural_ ad-
dress, previous to the breaking up of the present college
session.

• - in the rear of
of the erection destroyed by fire in 1836. The basement
floor was for models of machinery and drawing ; and
there were also two large rooms, each to accommodate
150 students. The cost of the building, which was nearly
finished, would be 7,657/. The •
committee regretted
that the funds of the •
hospital
were not in a gon-
rishing condition, they h • having lately been 3,0001. in
debt. To meet this demand 1,2001. had been raised
by subscriptions. A Mr. Kennedy had bequeathed
the sum of 5001. ; her Majesty had that morning
presented them with 3001., out of the estate of the
late Mr. Sawyer, of York ; and there were several
other sums, amounting to 1,600/.. which would enable
them to clear the income of the hospital from encum-
brance. There were 120 beds in the hospital, and
there would soon be increased accommodation. The
committee had to express their deep regret at the
loss of the Earl of Auckland, their late vice-president,
and also for the deaths of Mr. Liston and other gen-
tlemen of note, whose talents were much missed.
The expenditure of the college had exceeded its income
by 5001, which they had to draw from the funded stock,
and though the number of the pupils had greatly de-
creased, they (attributed that to the depressed state of
the nation. The report was received, and, after the
transaction of some further business, the meeting sepa-
rated.

MORTALITY AMONGST THN CATS IN BETAIITM.--.
In the village of Habergy, province of Luxembourg, says a
Brussel journal, there exists at the present. time, amongst the
feline race, a singular malady, and which is perfectly without
parallel in the memory of man. The cat stricken with this
disease bursts after a few hours illness.. In the above village,
as well as several others in the province, the cootagiou by
