MRS. JEAMY.—This unfortunate lady, after re
maining some time at the Bluchers' Arms, near Kes-
wick, removed to Patterdale, where she took private
lodgings for a time. During her s'ay there she visited
Lyulph's Tower, Airey Force, and all other places of
interest. We are not quite certain whether she ascended
Helvellyn or not; but we had; ocular proof of her pre-
sence on Skiddow's top during her stay in the neigh-
bourhood of Keswick. On Tuesday (the market day)
she arrived at the New Crown Inn, Penritb. She after.
wards went to view the Giant's rave, and other inte-
resting objects in and near the church. Here, however,
she was unfortunately recognised, and such was the
anxiety of the country people to see one of Rush's in-
tended victims that the unfortunate lady, to save herself
from their somewhat rude curiosity, was compelled to
hasten down a back lane to the Crown Hotel. On
Wednesday, at one P.M., Mrs. Jermy left Pent ith by the
northern train fir Scotland. Sho was accompanied by
her sister and her sister's husband, as well as a female
servant and her own daughter, the little Miss Jermy, we
presume, who ran to the servant's hall on the night of
the murder screaming "we aro all going to be mur-
dered." Mrs. Jermy is a woman rather smaller than
the generality of her sex. She is very pale, her coun-
tenance bearing evident traces of anxiety and suffering.
The little girl is a very pretty child, apparently about
six or seven years of age.—Penryth Correspondent. Mrs.
Jermy and Eliza Chestney, arrived at the Bush Hotel
on Thursday last, where it is supposed they intend to
stay for a short time.—Carlisle Patriot.
FOUR CHILDREN POISONED.-.—One of the most
diabolical attempts ever made to destroy human life by
poison was perpetrated in Nottingham on the evening of
Friday last. About five o'clock, a young man residing
near the house, occupied by a hawker named Burke, a
widower, in Eves's-yard, Narrow marsh, discovered that
the poor man's children had been suddenly taken ill in
the absence of their father, and proceeding to render
them assistance, found that they had been vomiting
dreadfully. At first it was thought that they had been
seized with cholera, but a cup containing some suspicious
looking ingredient being found upon the table, a number
of the neighbours were called in, and the whole family,
with the cup and its contents, were instantly carried off
to the General Hospital, where restoratives being
promply applied, the two youngest were soon pro-
nounced out of danger. Their names are—Mary, aged
11; Thomas, six; Catherine, four; and Sarah, two.
Yesterday (Saturday) the eldest, Mary, was sufficiently
well to make a statement, from which it appeared that
having gone out to buy some small articles of grocery,
she was met on her return by a woman who asked her
if her name was not Burke. The girl replied in the
affirmative, and was asked if she would like some good
stuff. The woman then gave her a paper containing a
quantity of white powder, telling her it was magnesia;
that she must pour hot water upon it, drink some of it,
and give the rest to her brother and sisters. She did so,
and they all became very sick. The liquid in the cup
and the contents of the children's stomachs were found
to be strongly impregnated with arsenic. The father has
since returned. No certain clue has as yet been dis-
covered to lead to the detection of the woman.
ANOTHER FLYING DUTCHMAN.—A narrow escape
occurred on the St. Leger night to a respectable man at
Rawmarsh, who had witnessed the decision of that great
event with feelings of much exeitement. Ho had retired
to rest, which appears to have been much disturbed by
visions of what he had on that day seen. He loudly
vociferated in his sleep, " They're coming—they're
coming;" and springing out of bed, exclaimed, "The
Dutchman—the Dutchman wins—stand off—stand off—
the Dutchman wins!" He threw open the window,
jumped out, and fell a distance of 16 feet, alighting on a
brick pavement, but without receiving any further in-
jury than a severe shaking.—Doncaster Gazette.
V AUXHALL GARDENS.—This popular place of
entertainment is announced to rc-open on Wednesday
next, under the entire direction of Mr. Robert War-
dell, who has engaged Mr. T. R. Lea is as secretary.
DISCOVERY or ANTIQUITIES.—Some days ago, in
digging for foundations on the railway at Clllons-sur-
Marne, a portion of a stone statue was discovered as
large as lite. The head was found at a distance of some
paces. The upper part of the trunk and the arms were
wanting. Some distance from this spot was found a
Roman medal of the Emperor Tiberius, half bronze,
with the inscription, " TI. CIESAR. AUGUST. F.
INIPERATOR and on the reverse, " ROM. ET
AUG."
