SUICIDE or A CAB PRORFIETOR.—Yesterday Mr.
W. Carter held an inquest at the R ill way Tavern,
York-road, Lambeth, on the body of Air. Thomas
Walker, aged 35, the large cab proprietor of the York-
road. Mr. C. Carruthers, surgeon, of the York-road,
said that the deceased had been under his medical
treatment during the last ten days. He was suffering
from consumption. On Wednesday last, on passing the
house, he heard something which induced him to go to
the deceased's bedroom. He then found a wound in the
deceased's throat, which had evidently been inflicted with
a razor. Witness sewed up the wound and did all that
was possible for deceased, but without effect, and he
died in about four hours and a half. He considered
that when he committed the act his mind was not in a
sound state. The brother and also a sister of deceased
were examined, from whose evidence it appeared that
the unfortunate man had made an excuse for them to
take him a drawer containing some papers, but which
also contained the razor. This he succeeded in con-
cealing, and during the temporary absence of his brother
he inflicted the fatal wound. Verdict—" Temporary
insanity."
A WEALTHY IRISHMAN.--Probate upon the will
of the late Mr. William Murphy, the extensive grazier,
has been just paid. The property is sworn tinder
645,000/. No sum approaching this has been left by any
private person in Ireland since the death of Mr. Natha-
niel Hone, whose property was sworn under 500,0001.
ANTIQUITIES FROM BOMBAY.—The ship La Belle
Alliance, which bas arrived in the docks from Bombay,
has brought several cases of Ninevite sculptures as a
portion of her cargo. These antiquities are not in this
instance specially consigned to the Government autho-
rities for deposit in the national receptacles, whatever
may be their intended ultimate destination, but are con-
signed to a person in this country of wealth and taste.
The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier have
arrived at Seville, where they are to remain during the
winter. They were received with great demonstrations
of joy by the inhabitants.
SOUTH WALES RAILWAY.—The works of thisline
between Newport end Gloucester are going on rapidly,
and portions of the permanent way are being laid.
GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY TO WINDSOR.—ThiS
company have made arrangements for opening their line
from Slough to Windsor on Monday.
PROPOSED COMPLETION OF THE WATERFORD AND
LIMERICK RAILWAY.-The engineer who constructed
the London and Brighton Railway is now in Caber, with
a staff of assistants, surveying the unfinished parts of the
Waterford and Limerick Railway, previous to making
a proposal to the company of constructing the line to
Carrick-on-Suir, which he considers to be the proper
terminus, provided the river Suir is improved and made
navigable for vessels of 200 and 300 tons burden.—

POVERTY AND CRIME.--A terrible " drams," to
borrow the expression of the Constitutionnel, was enacted
a day or two ago at the barrier° do Passy. A pastry-
cook, whose affairs were not very prosperous, thought to
better his condition by establishing two shops in the
interior of Paris, one in the passage Vero-Dueler, and the
other in the house of a brother. Three days ago, the
brother repaired to Passy for orders, but was told that
the indigence of his relation rendered it necessary to
shut up shop altogether. The same answer was repeated
the following day. At the expiration of the third, the
doors of the house at Passy were found to b© fastened;
they were broken open by the police, and four corpses
were found stretched on the floor. The wretched pastry-
cook had, it appears, prepared a " last supper," of which
be partook with his family, and having well seasoned the
meats with arsenic, poisoned himself and his wife and
two young aildren at the same time.
POACHING. —On Monday night three men, one
carrying a gun, were discovered poaching on the farm
of Mr. Abraham Garrad, at Layer de Is Hay ; they
were overtaken by Mr. Henry Garrad and the looker,
named Barrel], by whom they were followed for'some
distance. The men had no sooner got off Mr. Garrad's
land thun they turned round, and having armed them•
selves with two bludgeons, defied their pursuers to fol-
low them further, threatening to beat their brains out
if they did. Neither of them, however, showed inti-
midation at the threat, and the parties shortly after-
wards bolted, and were chased as far as Abberton,
where they wero lost sight of. The police have not
yet ascertained the names of the parties concerned.—

THE BLESSINGS OF SLAVERY.-Eight slaves re-
cently attempted to cross the Ohio river, below Mays-
ville, in order to get into Ohio and secure their free-
dom. There were too many of them for the sluff, which
upset, and four were drowned. The other four clung to
the bottom and cried for help, which came to them in
the shape of a gentleman, who bad them all put in
gaol for their masters. Another slave, who was helping
them across, was flogged to the extent of the law—
thirty nine lashes.
