MELANCHOLY CASE.—Yesterday afternoon an
inquest was held at the Buffalo's Head Tavern, New.road, Marylebone,
before Mr. Stirling and a respectablejury, on view of the body of Catha-
rine Caroline Payne, aged twenty-four, who was found drowned in the
Regent's Park Canal. Mr, W. Perry, of No. 8, North-street, Lisson-
grove, florist and seedsmen, had kept company with the deceased for the
last three months, and the following Monday was the day appointed for
their marriage. Witness saw her last alive on the preceding Wednesday,
when she waS in good health and spirits, and spoke with apparent plea-
sure of their approaching marriage. Witness was unable to account for
her committing suicide. He knew of nothing that preyed upon her mind.
He had not quarrelled with her, or broken off the match. She had been
addressed by another person, but he had been rejected in favour of wit-
ness. He (witness) considered she was a prudent young woman. Ver-
dict—Temporary derungement.
ANTI CORN LAW ASSOCIATIONS.—An Anti-
Corn Law Association has been formed this week in Kilmarnock, having
for its object the repeal of the Corn Laws,' We recommend that every
town and village in Ayrshire, where such a Society has not been already
constituted, should follow the example. It is no easy matter to bring a
whole nation into a state of fusion and ardent communion of thought ;
hut when once brought to that point (and this country is far on the
road, urged by many practical grievances, not the least of which is the
Corn Law), it is no easy matter to direct it away from organic changes.
The people will be inclined once for all to put thernse:ves in a position
which will enable them to go on with their occupations, without being
subjected to a yearly necessity of agitation. Meantime agitation is the
word. The Government have taken the initiative in recommending,
that, if they will do so in nothing else. The Corn Law is a good ques-
tion to stir the public mind on, and in the West the machinery of an ex-
tensive agitation is ready.--Ayrshire Examiner.
The manner of drying hay in the Tyrol—and corn,
too, in the rare spots where it is grown—produces an agreeable diver-
sity in the landscape. Instead of being scattered over the meadows,
as with us, it is suspended upon bars, arranged one over the other, at
right angles, through a stake of about six feet high stuck in the ground.
These, when covered with the fragant load, look like green altars erected
in honour of Pan, and, together with the fanciful groups employed
about them, add greatly to the unwonted and interesting aspect of the
scene,—Mrs, Trollope.
