THE SUICIDE AT THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
STATION—This morning an inquest was taken before
Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner, at the Hero of Waterloo
Tavern, Waterloo•road, as to the death of Dr. Jones
Allen, surgeon of the navy, aged 37. The jury first
proceeded to view the body, which was lying in the
vault of St. John's Church. The head appeared only
to be cennected to the trunk by the windpipe. James
Baldwin, a coker at the Waterloo terminus, and George
Bird, a railway policeman, described the manner in
which the deceased had thrown himself under the
wheels of the locomotive, a full account of which
appeared in lhe Sun of Tuesday. Mr. J. Dempsey, of
7, Norfolk-street, Strand, stated that he had known the
deceased about seven years. On Monday afternoon the
deceased was staying with him, and at half-past three
in the afternoon he was lying on the sofa, and in a very
moody state. He continued there for half an hour, and
then went cut, as witness supposed, to take a walk
before dinner, and he did not see him again alive. He
came from Inverness on Thursday, and complained of
being very ill. He had been appointed to the Bangalore
convict-ship, but was tupersed: d. The witness detailed
many circumstances denoting great breaking of his mind,
and the jury returned a verdict of Temporary Insanity.

A HINT TO LEXICOGRAPHERS TO COlllll.-AS
Haynau passes current now as a synonyme for every-
thing that is cruel, and wicked, and bad, we think the
word " heinous " could be made more expressive if it
were spelt " Ilaynaus." The same with the word
" heinousness." It would gain greatly in meaning and
cruelty of expression,if it were to be written, for the
future, " Haynausness."-Punch.
POOR-RATES IN TEE METROPOLIS.-It appears
from an ingenious work recently publi.hed by Mr. G.
L. Hutchinson, that the following inequalities exist in
the rating of the metropolis, which is by no means the
worst instance to be adduced. The annual value of pro-
perty in East and West London is 211,1501., rated at
2s. 10d. in the pound. The annual value assessed in the
City is 613.8831., rated at ls. 7d.; Whitechapel,
197,5221., rated at ls. 9d.; St. James's, Westminster,
250,1601.. rated at 10d.; Bethnal-green, 95,549/., rated at
2s. 9d.; St. George's, Hanover-square, 604,1051., rated
at 6d. The amount received by the poor of the City is
equal to 18s. 10d. per head on the population within the
walls, and the amount of relief given to the population
without the walls is equal to Bs. 6d. per head. The
amount of relief extended to the poor of the different
districts per 11. value of rated property is-Bermondsey,
3a. 3d.; East and West London, 2s. 10d.; Bethnal-green,
2'. 9d.; St. George's, Southwark, 2s. Bd.; Shoreditch,

THEATRE ROYAL DUBLIN.-The play the
Wile's Secret was presented last eveningp toy o
rather
a
thin house. We regretted to perceive that Mrs. Kean
laboured under evidently a severe cold, rendering her
task a distressing one in sustaining the arduous cha-
racter of Lady Eveline in this interesting drama.
Charles Kean, on the part of his lady, represented to
the audience the fact (which was sufficiently evident), of
her indisposition. Owing to Mrs. Kean's illness. the
new drama of Strathmore, whose second representation
was announced this evening, will not be performed ;
Richard the Third has been substituted. We, in com-
mon with the Dublin audience, feel extreme regret at
the indisposition of this admirable and deservedly-
favoured actress, but we trust soon to be enabled to
announce her restoration to health and her rc-appear-
ance on our boards as attractive as ever.-Freeman's
Journal.
SIR JOHN FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION.-Adverting

to the interesting narrative which was inserted in our
columns of Tuesday, from the pen of Mr. Goodsir, aho
went upon a whaling voyage with Captain Penny, of the
Advice, we omitted to mention the fact that Mr. Goodsir
undertook the voyage from the circumstance of his
having a brother in Sir John Franklin's expedition, who
is the assistant surgeon on beard the Erebus. we have
reason to know that this fine young man desires nothing
so mach
\as to be again employed in the search ; and we
heartily wish that he may again embark in the month
of February,
in the "good ship Advice," with that
highly honourable, humane, and intrepid mariner,
Captain Pe
prfaSee--Brer
whose noble conduct is beyond all
