LAMBETH-STREET.

Yesterday the notorious Jew Doctor, alias Dando the
Second, was brought before JOHN HARDWICK, Esq.,
charged with breaking a square of glass at the Swan
public-house in Mansell-street, Goodman's .fields.
On the evening before there was a Jew's wedding at. the
Swan, and the prisoner, by some means or other, coming to
the knowledge of it; managed to make his way up stairs
unperceived, and, entering the room where the wedding
party were at dinner, commenced helping himself to some
of the good things before him. The party not relishirr,
the presence of so notorious a character, sent for the land-
lord to expel him from the room. His expulsion was with
some difficulty accomplished, as the savoury smell of a fine
roast goose appeared to have so particularly fascinated the
Doctor that it was with considerable reluctance he left the
dining-room ; and so indignant was he at beinc, removed
from it that he demolished a pane of glass with his stick.
The prisoner, when asked what he had to say to the
charge, became very voluble, and complained a good deal
about being " shown up" and libelled in the newspapers.
Mr. HARDWICK ordered him to pay the amount of
damage which he had done to the window, or in default,
thereof to stand committed for two months to the House
of Correction.

Previous to his removal, and while in one of the strong
rooms, the prisoner was asked by Davis, the gaoler, whom
he next intended giving a turn to ?.

The prisoner drew his pocket a long list of the
houses and beer-shops, and replied that his next was the
North American Coffee-house, in the Minories.
Davis said that this house was kept by a widow, who
could ill afford the loss of his gorge, as she had not long
before been robbed by some foreigners who had lodged at
her house.
The prisoner replied that he was well aware of the fact
of a widow having kept the house, as he had put up a little
score there ; but added that another person

An inquest was held before C. J. Carter, Esq., at the
Catherine Wheel, Gravesend, on the body of Frederick
Emery, a young gentleman of considerable expectations,
whose parents reside in Lancashire, and who had lately oh.
tamed the situation of landing-waiter in the Customs. The
deceased had for six or seven weeks past resided at this
house of Mr. James Sloane, of Wakefield-street, Gravesend,
and during part of that time had been labouring under
slight indisposition, and was attended by Doctor Beau-
mont. On Sunday he appeared much better, and in-
formed Mr. Sloane that he had occasion to go to Lon-
don on business, and that he should go by the first
packet, and as his business would not detain him mores
than four or five minutes he should return by the next
boat. He then asked Mrs. S. to lend him her husband's
razors to shave with, which she did, and went down stairs to,
procure for him some water, which her son took up in a.
few minutes after, and found him stretched on the floor wel-
tering in blood. He immediately informed her of it, and
she sent him for medical assistance, and proceeded herself
to his room, where she found the unhappy young man lying
quite naked on the floor, with a horrible incision in the ab-.
domen, from which the bowels protruded, and his head was
nearly severed from his body.
The deceased, who was remarkable for his personal at•
tractions, had been for some time in a desponding state, sup-.
posed to arise from disappointment in the nature of his
official duties. His habits were most correct.

The jury returned a verdict that the deceased had de
strovcd himself in a fit of temporary derangement.
Last night, at 8 o'clock, Mr. Payne and a highly respect.
able jury assembled at the Falcon Tavern, Falcon-square,
Aldcrsgate-street, for the purpose of inquiring relative to
the death of Mr. Francis Lea, aged fifty, the late church—
warden of St. Giles's Cripplegate Without, who committed
the act of self-destruction.

Mr. Charles Lea, son of the deceased, lived with his
father, who was a silk manufacturer, at 5, Falcon-square.
About a quarter to nine that morning he was called by his
mother, who directed him to go to his father's bed-room,
stating that he had hung himself. Witness went up there,
when, on being provided with a knife by a female servant,
he cut the handkerchief with which the deceased had sus—
pended himself to the bedpost, and his unfortunate father•
fell into witness's arms. About eight o'clock his mother
had left the deceased. He had then, as when seen by tli*
jury no coat on. He had shaved, but bad not had his
breakfast.

By the CORONER—Owing to difficulties in business and
disappointment in not receiving money, for some time past;
he had been in a desponding. state of mind. Witness knows
of nothing else to disturb his mind.
Verdict—" Temporary insanity."

The Rev. Dr. Longley, Bishop of Ripon elect, has
arrived at Studley Park, Ripon. The object of his visit
is to engage a temporary residence until the palace is built.
He attended service at the Cathedral, Ripon, on Sunday
week, when the Very Rev. Dr. Webber, Dean of Ripon,
preached.

There were recently some quarrels between the
Christians and Jews of Posen, which went so far as rioting
in the streets. The Lutherans and Catholics of that grand
duchy have a mutual antipathy to each other ; but, when.
the police interfere to prevent their quarrelling, they join
together, and made common cause against their Jewish
brethren. These quarrels are a disgrace to civilization.

A hanker, who is a deputy and intimate friend of
M. Tillers, is said to have been one of the victims of the
fluctuations on the Paris Bourse during the month of Sep-
tember. The information he received from the Depart-
ment of Foreign Affairs, previous to the change of Minis-
ters, induced him to embark in extensive speculations, which
have cost him a loss of at least 3,OOO,OOE—Le

COAL MlNEs.—The following singular circum-
stance relating to coal mines, which happened a few years
ago in Parr (about fourteen miles from Liverpool), where
there are several extensive collieries, will tend to show the
immense value of coal mines which lie under a small super-
ficial extent of land. An elderly widow lady sold property
in Parr, consisting of a house and about thirty acres of
land to a gentleman (who purchased it for his own resi-
dence), for three thousand pounds. The old lady thought
there must be coals under the land, as there was so much
in the neighbourhood, but it was the decided opinion of
coal proprietors and others- conversant with coal mines that
there were not any coals in the property, or if there were,
that they could not be got from the workings of any adja-
cent colliery, on account of part •of the laud constituting
what is called a fault, viz., an intervention of stone and
earth, which sometimes happens (perpendicular), so as to
separate delfs of coal from each other, and, consequently-,
they were of no value. The seller of the property, how-
ever, insisted that the coals should be reserved, unless the
purchaser would give her one hundred pounds for them.
This he refused doing, and the coals were excepted from
his purchase. The old lady died soon after, bequeathing
the coal mines among the. children of a deceased sister
(seven in number), who were all labourers, and the
residue of her property, worth about three hundred pounds
to the children of another sister. The bequest of the coal
mines was considered a nominal thing, and the dissentions
in the two families were great on account of it. The coal
legatees brooded for a length of time over their disappoint-
ment in not sharing their aunt's property with their cousins,
but at length they contrived to induce some persons, who
were supposed to have more money than wit, to undertake
the expense of boring on the land (an expensive under-
taking), to ascertain whether there were coals or not. The
boring continued for a considerable time, to the great amuse:-
ment of persons connected with collieries ; but at last, to
their great astonishment, the chagrin of the purchaser, and
the unbounded delight of the legatees, two delfs of the
best coal in Lancashire, were discovered, extending nearly
the whole breadth of the land, and could be easily workeei.
These coals were immediately purchased by the proprietors
of a neighbouring colliery for twenty thousand pounds. On

taken from the bank of a ditch this ring was suspended
from my neck by a silken cord, and I keep it, in the hope

cannot dispose of it." The Procureur du Roi made a vio-
lent speech against-the prisoners 'who was found guilty, and
sentenced to imprisonment for five years. Immediately
upon this a woman, more worn down by poverty than ag'e,
came forward and or:dae the following declaration :--‘, Gen-
tlemen of tht I.ury, twenty years ago a young woman was
seduced by a young man of the same town, who, after de-
ceivinr; lien, abandoned her. Poor and distressed, she was
ol!,liged to leave her child to the care of Providence. The
Child has since grown up, and the woman and her seducer
have grown older. The child is in poverty, the woman in
misery, and her seducer in prosperity. They arc all three
now in Court. The child is the unfortunate prisoner whom
you have just pronounced guilty ; the mother is myself ;
and there sits the father," pointing to the Procureur du Rol.
