SHOCKING OCCURRENCE.—The inhabitants of
the quiet little town of Cannock was thrown into a state
of the utmost consternation on Tuesday afternoon last, by
the circumstance of James Hawkins, an under-gamekeeper
of the Earl of Lichfield, having killed a man of the name
of Matthias Willington, a labourer, in the kitchen of the
Crown Inn, by shooting him through the head. It appears
that a quarrel followed by a scuffle took place. After a
short struggle for a stick, both of them keeping their seats,
Hawkins told the deceased if he did not loose his hold, he
" would drill a hole in him." The deceased refused to do
so ; and Hawkins drew out a pistol from his side-pocket
and cocked it. The deceased then rose from his seat and
made a catch at the pistol, upon which Hawkins rose in
part from his chair, and discharging the pistol, shot Wit-
lington dead on the spot. The bag entered the forehead.
The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against
Hawkins, who was committed to take his trial at the next

Assizes.
PIIRENOLOGY.—An action has been commenced
against a Paris paper, the Messager des Chambres, which
is accused of defamation on the following singular ground :
—lt appears that on the 28th of August last the Messager
gave a report of a meeting of the Phrenological Society of
Paris, at which M. Gaubert gave an account of an exami-
nation made upon the skull of a widow lady, named Cheron,
who had been murdered. The Messager stated that "the
characteristic and prevailing ruling passions of the lady
were cunning and a love of money." The correctness of
this opinion astonished every one, because it was afterwards
ascertained that she was a very covetous woman, and made
a great deal of money by usury. Indeed it was the know-
ledge of her. excessive love of money which led to the idea
of having her skull examined. The Messager entered
into other details connected with the phrenological induc-
tions to which the examination of the skull hailed, induc-
tions which, it said, were anything but flattering to the de-
ceased. The suit is preferred by three relations of the
deceased, who allege that the Messager has attacked the
honour and reput ition of her family by a pretended scien-
tific dissertation upon her skull, which must have come into
the possession of those who examined it by means not within
their knowledge. Dr. Gaubert is accused of a Use report
upon the subject, and the Messager of adopting it. The
trial is expected to give rise to some laughable disclosures
—French Paper.
On Saturday last, the sth of November, the in-
mates of the King's Bench prison were thrown into a state
of great alarm, about nine o'clock in the evening, by the
sudden report of a hand grenade, which some 'miscreant
had placed on the window sill of the coffee room. The ex-
plosion shattered every pane in the window, but providen-
tially no injury was sustained by any of the gentlemen who
had been dining that day, and ;who had a short time pre-
viously left the table, or some one or two must have been
very dreadfully wounded by the broken panes of glass, scat-
tered on the table and the floor of the room,
