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. He was for wme 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, aid he 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
Master in Chancery has appointed an official manager to
wind-up this company's affairs under the Joint-Stock
Act. The outstanding liabilities are found to amount
to 3,5001. Several of the provisional committee sub-
scribed 351. each to defray other debts incurred some
time ago, but a largo proportion refused to do so when
required, and under the present proceedings there are
300 contributors on the Master's list liable under the
provisions of the Act. There were about 100 provisional
committee men.

BROMPTON HOSPITAL FOR CoNSUMPTION.--Yes-
terday a very numerously attended general quarterly
meeting of governors was held in the board-room of the
above institution, the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird in the chair.
The routine business having been disposed of, the usual
report was read, in which it was stated that the Bill for
the incorporation of the charity had received the Royal
assent, i
and that the generous intentions of the Rev. sir
Henry Foulis, Bart., for the erection of a suitable c
chapel,
were being rapidly carried out, and that .the building, it

of the hospital. The number of new out-patients from
the same date amounted to 1,006. The report having
been received and adopted, thanks were very warmly
voted to the worthy chairman, and the meeting
separated.
Trla GUEsTLING POISONINGS.—Mary Ann Leer-
ing, who was convicted at the Lewes assizes of murdering
her husband, by administering arsenic to him, and against
whom there were also two indictments for taking away
the lives of two of her sons in a similar manner, made a
full confession of her crime on Thursday last to the Rev.
Mr. Burnet, the chaplain of Lewes gaol. The unfortu-
nate woman has, since her condemnation, evinced a due
sense of the awful position in which she is placed. The
execution is fixed to take place a Lewes on Tuesday
next.

THE CONVICT AKOMBALD 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 sacred 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 Goa 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
Diemen's Land. But to place the matter beyond doubt,
convicted at Hobart Town, which is the capital of Van
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.--
ARCHD. BOLAM."

PLIENOMENON IN BOSS'SHIRE.—A curious phenome-
non occurred at the farm of Balvullich, on the estate of
Ord,las. I
t occalupmieeddibaytelMy r o
onet On
of the
evening of Monday
. li
thunder ever heard there, a large and irregularly shaped
mass of ice, reckoned 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,
which consisted of hailstones of uncommon size, fixed
after
together. It was principally composed of small squares
—diamond shaped—of from one to three inches in size
all firmly congealed together. The weight of this large
piece of ice could not be ascertained; but it is a most
fortunate circumstance that it did not fall on Mr. Moffat's
house, or it would have crushed it, and undoubtedly have
caused the death of some of the inmates. No appearance
whatever of either hail or snow was discernible in the
surrounding district.—Boss-shire Advertiser.
There is somethirg in the last hour of the day, if it
have been itself a happy one, which seems to concen-
trate all the pleasant things of the past. It is like a fine
evening sky, calm and sweet, and full of rays, that are
all the rosier, because they aro the last.—Eliza Cook's
Journal.

THE STRIKE IN SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE.—BIR-
MINGHAM, THURSDAY.--TIIO 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 and Brierley-hill ceased to work to day.
Instead of quietly submitting to a reduction of 6d. per
day, as propsed by the masters, the men now require an
advance of 6d. on their previous wages. Although
some thousands are out upon the strike, everything at
present appears comparatively quiet and peaceable.
AMBRICAN FLouu.—A vessel arrived from New
York has brought an entire cargo of flour, consisting of
7,476 barrels of the article, the produce of the United
States of America.
