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 Sr. John's Church. The head appeared only
to he connected to the trunk by the windpipe. James
Baldwin, a eoker at the Waterloo terminus, and George
Bird, a railway policeman, described the manner in
which the deceased had thrown himself tinder the
wheels of the locomotive, a full account of which
appeared in The Sun of Tuesday. 1/fr. 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
i❑ the afternoon he was lying on the sofa, and in a very
moody state. He continued there for half an hour, and
then went out, as witness supposed, to take a walk
before dinner, and he did not see him agai❑ alive. He
castle from Inverness on Thursday, and complained of.
being very ill. He had been appointed to the Bangalore
convict-ship, but was superseded. 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 COME. 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.

PoOlt-RATES IN THE METROPOLIS.-It appears
from an ingenious work recently published 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 211,150/, rated at
2s. 10d. in the pound. The annual value assessed in the
City is 613,8831., rated at is. 7d.; Whitechapel,
197,5221., rated at Is. 9d ; St. -James's, Westminster,
250,160/.. rated at 10d.•' Bethnal-green, 9.5,5491., rated at
2s. 9d.; St. George's, Hanover-square, 604,1051, rated
at Gd. 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,
3s. 3d.; East and West London, 23. lod.; Bethnal-green,
2s. 9d.; St. George's, Southwark, 2s. Bd.; Shoreditch,

task a distressing one in sustaining the tharduous cha-
racter of Lady Eveline in this interest. dm
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 draws 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-
tavoured actress, but we trust soon to be enabled to
announce her restoration to health and her re-appear-
ance on our bjards as attractive as ever.-Freeman's
Journal.

narrativeto the
which was inserted in our
columns of Tuesday, from the pen of Mr. Goodsir, who
went upon a whaling voyage with Captain Penny, of the
Advice, we omitted to mention tho 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 board the Erebus. We have
reason to know that this fine young man desires nothing
so much as to be again employed in the search ; and we
heartily wish that he teay again embark in the month
of February, in the " good ship Advice," with that
highly honourable, humane, and intrepid mariner,
Captain Penny, whose noble conduct is beyond all
praise,-ftercad,
