A duel took place a few days since at Gisors, be-
tween a soldier and a young man of that town, who was on the
point of marriage, and whose banns with his future bride had
been already published. The young man was killed by his
adversary, who immediately afterwards blew out his own brains.
The meeting was occasioned by the preference given to the
former by the intended bride, who had also been courted by
the soldier.
At Gatmonsay Moor, on Saturday, two navigators,
named Dalahide and Hasson, quarrelled about a woman who
had been cohabiting with them whilst employed upon the rail-
road in the neighbourhood. The quarrel was apparently
made up, and they left the public-house at Cuxhoe tcgether.
Hasson wenetowards his home, and was followed by Dalahide,
who stabbed him in the abdomen, so that his bowels protruded.
In this dreadful condition the wounded man contrived to
reach a house in the neighbourhood, where he subsequently
died, but not before he had identified the assassin, who was
taken up for the crime, and was, on the finding of the Coro-
ner's Jury, on Monday, fully committed to Durham gaol on a
charge of wilful murder.—Sunderland Beacon.

'the first product of the Cheltenham Forest of Dean
Mining Company's mines was brought into that town last
week. The quantity was eighty tons, and the waggons con-
taining the black diamonds were preceded by a procession of
the Directors, with music, flags, &c. The coals found an
instant market.—Cheltenham Chronicle.

On Friday night last Mr. Joseph Greene, who a
few years ago carried on an extensive business as a gold-
beater, in Compton-street, Soho, entered the Albion Coffee-
house, Wilsted-street, Somers Town, and called for a cup of
coffee. Having partaken of a portion thereof, he suddenly
dashed from hint the saucer, at the same instant exclaiming
" Oh, God 1 I've poisoned myself." Mt. Pretty, a surgeon,
who was called in, directed his immediate removal to the Uni-
versity Hospital, whither be was conveyed in a coach,
and,
after the lapse of a short period, a considerable quantity of
corrosive sublimate was, by means of the pump, extracted from
his stomach. It appears that he was impelled by adverse cir-
cumstances of a peculiarly distressing nature 10 make tho
suicidal attempt.
