SUICIDE THROUGH FEAR OF
UNDERGOING A SUR-
GICAL OPERATlON.—Yesterday evening an inquest was
taken by Mr. J. W. Payne, deputy.coroner, at the
White Swan, White-street, Cripplegate, on view of the
body of Mr. Ebenezer Mitchell, aged 47, a master tailor,
lately residing at No. 6, White-street, who committed
suicide through fear of undergoing a painful operation.
It appeared that he was suffering from an attack of fis-
tula, for which he obtained advice. He was attended
by Mr. Lloyd, surgeon, who found him not in a state to
undergo an operation, as he had much fever upon
him. lle was for some days past much excited, and his
manner was different from what it used to be. That
(yesterday) morning deceased's wife, who had heard an
unusual noise, went into the deceased's bedroom, when
she observed him sitting up in bed, and ho was black in
the face. She then discovered that there was a rope
round his neck, which was also attached to the bed-post,
and which he had tightened by leaning forward. The
rope was cut, when life was found extinct. Verdict—
Temporary Insanity.
EASTERN COUNTIES EXTENSION RAILWAY.—The

scribed 35/. each to defray other debts incurred some
time ago, but a large proportion refused to do so when

300 contributors on the Master's list liable under the
provisions of the Act. There were about 100 provisional
committee men.

report was read, in which it was stated that the Bill for
the incorporation of the charity had received the Royal
assent, and that the generous intentions of the Rev. Sir
Henry Foulis, Bart., tor the erection of a suitable chapel,
were being rapidly carried out, and that the building, it
was expected, would be covered in Leforo the winter
season.
It also apptared that the number of patients

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

The execution of Racket, who was found guilty at
the last assizes of the murder of Lowe, near Ferbane,
took plttce on Tuesday, at Tullamore. There was
scarcely any excitement in the town. At halt-past
eleven o'clock a company of the 35th, in the command
of En sign Moore, was drawn up in front of the gaol.
and s hor tly after a strong body of police was placed
inside the railing. About ten minutes past twelve the
unfortunate man made his appearance, supported on
either side by the Rev. Messrs. Culley and Flood. He
walked up the ladder firmly, but soon after became
quite weak and nervous. He never spoke. The fatal
bolt was drawn, and he was launched into eternity. Ile
died without the least struggle; he made no confession,
but signed a declaration forgiving his prosecutors, he.
There 'were very few persons present, in consequence of
the prflest having on the previous Sunday stated that it
was the wish of the prisoner that none should witness
the execution. In less than half an hour the body was
cut dawn and buried within the pecincts of the gaol.
There seemed very little, if any, commisseration for the
unfortunate man.
LIMERICK, AUGUST 15.—The body of Catherine
Dillon, executed in front of the county gaol on Satur
day last for conspiracy to murder her husband, after
being taken down from the drop, was given to her
friends, who had provided an excellent coffin for her
interment. The mother, brothers, sisters, and children
of the ill-fated woman were congregated before the
prison, and were witnesses of the awful spectacle. Her
remains were conveyed to her late residence at Cappa-
more, where she was waked that night, and the in-
lerinfant, which took place next day, was attended by
hundreds.

THE CONVICT ARCHIBALD BOLAM.—This noto-
rious convict has addressed the following letter to the
Newcastle papers, relative to a statement which appears
to have gone the round of the press, accusing him of be-
ing.convicted of another offence in New South Wales:—
" Sir,—Your accred duty to me, my relations, and so-
ciety at large demands the insertion of the following
observations in your newspaper. The diabolical para-
graph which appears in the Hull Advertiser of the 13th
of October, 1848, purporting to be taken from the Gates-
head Observer, was no doubt fulminated with the view of
doing serious harm. I declared at my trial most
solemnly before God and my country that I was innocent
of the death of Joseph Millie, and at this moment, far
away from friends and foes,' I do declare that I am
guiltless of the crime with which I was charged, and as
I shall have to answer for it before God, the account
which I gave at the trial, to the best of my recollection,
was a true account of all that I knew relating to the
death of Joseph Millie; and to the said paragraphical
charge I also, with the most profound contempt, plead
not guilty. I have never been out of New South Wales
since my arrival in the year of our Lord 1840. Van
Diemen's Land and Norfolk Island lie, the former about
700 miles to the south, and the latter 1,000 miles to the
east of Botany Boy, consequently, I could not have been
convicted at Hobart Town, which is the capital of Van
Diemen's Land. But to place the matter beyond doubt,
I enclose a certificate from the principal superintendent
of the convicts of this colony, under whose observation
I have been from the time I arrived until this hour.—

111ENOMENON IN ROSS'SIIIRE.—A curious phenome-
non occurred at the farm of Balvullicb, on the estate of
Ord, occupied by Mr. Moffat, on the evening of Monday
last. Immediately after one of the loudest peals of
thunder ever heard there, a large and irregularly shaped
mass of ice, reckcned to be nearly 20 feet in circumfer-
ence, and of a proportionate thickness, fell near the:farm-
house. It had a beautiful crystalline appearance, being
nearly transparent, if we except a small portion of it,

THE STRIKE IN SOUTH STAFFORDSBIRE.—BIR-
MINGHAM, THURSDAY.--The strike of colliers in South
Staffordshire extends and promises to be all but universal.
About 500 of the thick coalmen in the neighbourhood of
Getherton arrd 33rierley-bill ceased to work to day.
Instead of quietly submitting to a reduction of 6d. per
day, as proposed by the masters, the men now require an
advance of 61. on their previous wages. Although
some thousands are out upon the strike, everything at
present appears comparatively quiet and peaceLble.
