fund for erecting a monument to Nelson the magnificent donation cf
500 guineas. Her Majesty has also sent a similar sum to the Welling-
ton memorial.

The steamer which plies between Sheerness and
Chatham caught fire one day last week. She fat the former place with
14 passengers, and had not proceeded further than Kitt's-hole when the
alarm was given. The consternation on board was very great; but by
the ex rtions of the crew the flames were extinguished by drenching the
decks plentifully with water. The boiler, it seems, was deficient of
water, and it became red hot. Fortunately a barge came up at the
moment, and the passengers were taken to Chatham without sustaining
any injury

dor at London, had been murdered the day before by two individuals,

TILE -TASTE FOR TIIE HORRIBLE.-The recent
horrible murder of Eliza Grimwood in the Watetloo-road has furnished
a subject for the
.pictorial talent of the penny showmen. This was tco
rich, too sanguinary, too disgusting, to be neglected by the itinerant ca-
terers for the entertainment of the rising generation. Exhibitions of
this character arc surely not calculated to improve the taste of children.
On Saturday last, a fellow was parading the Whitechapel-road and its
vicinity with " a show," representing,' as his placard stated, " the bru-
tall murder of Elliza Greenwood, with a correct delination of the mur-
derer cutting her throat, and a view or the parlour were he did it." The
charge for viewing this was a penny, and the showman during the day
had no lack of customers.

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—ThC news of SirJolin
Jefllott's untimely death by drowning, reached Exeter on the 18th of
May, the anniversary of the death of the late Dr. Dennis, who fell in a
duel with Sir John Jeffcott, in May 163:1—Western Times.

The Wandering Piper paid another visit to Hull,
on his return from York, on Tuesday, and played through our principal
streets. He next visits Newcastle, Sunderland, &c. We understand
from the Piper that his perigrinations are now drawing to a termination
—as a small additional sum will place the contributions of this country
upon an equality with the sum he received in America, and then his ex-
pedition ends.—Hull Advertiser.

CHURCH-RATE REFUSED.—The churchwarden of
Hittisleigh, having given notice of a vestry to be convened on Thursday
last.; the rate-payers assembled, when the churchwarden applied for a
rate of sixpence in the pound. It was then proposed and seconded—
that the meeting be adjourned till the 25th day of March next. For the
adjournment, 21 ; against it, s.—Western Times.
It is said that orders have been given to open Kew-
gardens once a-week (every Thursday) for the inspection of visitors.
Though the English mail-bag is despatched across
the water to Calais within a few minutes of its arrival at Dover, we have
reason to believe that there is frequently considerable delay at Calais in
forwarding the French bag to London. The English Consul at that port
should exert himself to prevent this impediment to a very useful and
important arrangement between France and England. —Morning Paper.
Brutus Besoni, a shoemaker and dealer in skins,
Desmarets, another of the same trade, and a woman named Dussur,
were on Saturday brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police
on a charge of stealing, killing, and flaying cats, and selling their car-
cases to the restaurateurs of the Barriers, by whom they were to be
served up as rabbits. The evidence and the denegations of the two male
criminals, and the forced confessions of the woman, aflbrded much amuse.
meat to the Court; but the details were too disgusting to be repeated.
Besoni was sentenced to six months' emprisonment and a fine of I 001 ;
Desmarets to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 100 f. ; and the
woman to six months' imprisonment without a fine.

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—We have been
highly gratified by the great debate and decision of this venerable body,
respecting the Auchterarder Case, or rather, as it is now phrased, the
'' Independence of the Church." A few more such debates and deci-
sions would do more to promote the cause of Voluntaryism, than all
the efforts of all the Dissenters in the kingdom for half a century.
—Scots Times.

There is now forming a new Company for the pur-
pose of manufacturing salt on the coast of Kent. We hear if the
speculation succeeds, it is the intention of the Directors to establish
their works near this place.—Kent Observer.
EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—A coroner's in-
quest has lately been held on the body of a woman of the name of Brown,
wife of a journeyman painter, &c. when it appeared in evidence that she
had set her clothes on fire, and stood firm in the middle of the room until
literally burnt to a cinder.—Skerborne Journal.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Friday an inquest was
held in St. George's Hospital, before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of
Nicholas Cramer, Esq., aged 71, a native of Cologne. \Vm. Sherlock,
police-constable A division, No. 125, deposed that about half-past eleven
o'clock on the morning of the 17th of May, he was on duty in Kensing-
ton-gardens, when he observed the deceased enter BuckhilLgate, which
is nearly opposite the Crown Tavern, Bayswater. He (deceased) walked
towards a retired part of the gardens. About five minutes befin e twelve
o'clock witness discovered the deceased stretched on the ground under a
tree. He had inflicted a dreadful wound across his throat; a razor and
clasp knife, the blades of which were covered with blcod, were lying on
the grass close beside him. He was alve, but could not articulate ; he
motioned to witness not to disturb him, and endeavoured to strike his
head against the trunk of a tree. Want:3s obtained the assistance of
six men who were working on the Bayswater road, who conveyed the
deceased on a hurdle to the above hospital. Several vipers and docu-
ments were four..l on the person of the deceased which led to his identity,
and from which it appeared, at the time of his melancholy death, he oc-
S
cupied apartments in Duke-strett,t. James's. A gentlemen present,
a friend of the deceased, said that he had of late suffered from great de-
spondency, owing to the sudden death of a beloved son about a month
back. Other witnesses spoke to the deceased's disordered state of mind.
The house-surgeon said the deceased died on the 09th of May from the
.eff,cts of the wound. Verdict—" Temporary Derangement."
There is now living at Darlton, near Tuxford,
Nottinghamshire, a man and his wife, of the name of Brett, above 93
years of age each, who have been married 70 years. The man is by
trade a weaver, and, a short time since, his trade being bad, he actually
started on tramp, seeking work ; and he is 50 active that lie can be backed
to walk 30 miles a-day. Ile generally walks with both his hands in his
pockets at a quick pace, and appears as active as a young lad. He is
also a very clever angler, which he frequently practiscs. Ott lately being
asked how his wife was, he replied " Oh I I left her washing."—Don.
