TO THE AUTUMN

Autumn I feel thy near approach,
The summer soon will leave ;
While clouds and chilly airs encroach
Upon the shortening eve.
The lavender perfumes the breeze,
The swallow takes her flight,
And faded leaves forsake the trees,
While Phoebus dims his light.
Say, Autumn, say, for I would know,
What weather wilt thou bring,
Will stormy breezes coldly blow,
When songsters cease to sing?
But wherefore do I question thus
In this familiar rhyme?
Moses and Son will furnish us
Dress suited to the time.
Their Autumn stock will prove to be
The choicest ever sold ;
And just the articles for thee.
When sweeping winds blow cold.
Moses and Son, I found did well,
When last thy season came;
And clothes which now they have to sell,
Will prove they do the same.
Their Paletots and other dress
Will prove, when we have bought 'em,
The tack and skill of M. and S.
In making dress for Autumn.

supposing them married, questionably contented. Dinidenee, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
oomprosing harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form WI item
bi the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
seglect weand more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, If
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. In 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, le. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cnriesity, but
fer the closet perusal of those more deeply, interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone er
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
little publications claim your attention (same price ls. each,
by Post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library voltune, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servheca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto ethers as he
woraNt he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
on the "sunny side of the way." The above works slay be had of

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.
i I On Manning's arrival at liorsemonger-lane Gaol,
on Saturday, he was received by Mr. Keane, the go-
';vernor, when he, in a tremulous tone of voice, asked
whether he might be permitted to see his wife in the
presence of Inspector Yates and the officers. The
governor, however, told him that it would be con-
trary to the regulations of the gaol, and that he would
not be permitted to see her. The prisoner ejaculated
that he wail sorry for it, as his wife could exonerate
him from all participation in the murder. He was
then led into one of the cells usually occupied by pri-
soners charged with heinous crimes, and two turn-
keys were appointed to watch him.
On being left with them he became very downcast,
and at times was noticed to betray considerable ner-
vousness. At a later period of the day he desired to
be furnished with ink and paper, which being sup-
plied him, he wrote and addressed a letter to his wife.
As usual in such serious cases, the communication
went through, the hands of the governor, who, we
are informed, intercepted its delivery. The purport
of the communication has not transpired. He
frequently questioned the officers of the prison
who were with him whether he might be allowed
trifling indulgences during his confinement. At
various, times he asked permission to have some
:tobacco to smoke, but his wish was refused. With
•respect to Mrs. Manning, since her knowledge of
Manning's apprehension, the compo-sure and firmness
shc displayed while her husband continued at large
has quite forsaken her---4s change which was instantly
observable on ker heiring the fact of Manning's
arrest. During the greater part of Saturday she
paced the ward of the prison in which her cell is
situate evidently in a state of great mental excitement.
An inspector of the M division of police had an in-
terview with Mrs. Manning on Saturday, for the
purpoie of procuring a receipt from her for 201.,
which Mr. Sacker, the magistrate at the Southwark
Police-conrt, had allowed her to prepare her defence,
out of the trunry found in her possession when appre-
hended bylfr. llttiihtif in Edinburgh. Shaking the
inspector by the hand, apparently in the most hearty
and fervent manner, she said, " I thank you and the
worthy magistrate for this assistance; lam much
obliged." She then wrote on a slip of paper. the de
sired receipt. The style of writing, however, is
certainly not in keeping with her reported accom-
plishments. She was aware of her husband's arrival
in the gaol, and remarked that it was very annoying
they were to be brought up together at the next
examination at the police-court. She has frequently
inquired of the persons whose duty it is to watch her
what the newspapers say about the matter ' • but her
anxiety on this part has not been relieved. Hearing,
however, that Manning, when arrested at Jersey, had
accused her of committing the crime by shooting Mr.
O'Connor at the bottom of the staircase, she exclaimed,
"The villain ; it was he that did it, not me."
Late on Saturday night the police authorities ob-
tained some information which is considered of great
importance. It appears that on the 26th of July
Manning called at the furnishing ironmongery ware-
house of Messrs. Evans, 33, King William-street,
London-bridge, and asked to be shown a small crow-
bar. The shopman, George Stoad, informed him
that they did not keep such articles in stock ready
made, but if he (Manning) pleased one should be
made for him. Manning answered that would do as
well, but he impressed upon the shopman that he did
not want one too large—about 71b. or 81b would do.
Manning then said that he would leave his name and
address, which he did, and desired the implement to
be sent home when finished. According to his in-
structions the crowbar was made, and on the 28th
Messrs. Evans sent it to 3, Minver-place, by one of
the porters. A few minutes after the man had started
with it Manning called at Messrs. Evans's shop to
ascertain whether the crowbar was ready, and being
informed that the porter had just gone with it to his
house, he left in a hurried manner and overtook the
porter in Tooleystreet. Stopping him in the street,
he asked him if he was going to his house with a
crowbar, pointing to the uncovered implement the
man was carrying. The porter replied that he was
taking it to No. 3, Minver-place, New Weston-
street. Manning replied, " That's all right, but
I suppose paper is very scarce at your establish-
ment. One don't want everybody to see such things;
come with me." Manning then went into the first
stationer's shop they met with, and buying a sheet of
brown paper, he took the bar from the porter's hand
and wrapped it up in the paper. He then wrote on
it his name and address, and, walking with the porter,
showed him the way to Minver-place. Arriving at
the corner of New Weston -street, Manning desired
the porter to go on and deliver it. The man pro-
ceeded to the house as directed, and, knocking at
the door, was answered by a tall, well-dressed woman,
who had a mark on the upper part of her neck. On
presenting the parcel she said, Oh, you have come
from Mr. Evans in King William-street. What's to
pay ?" The porter replied that there was as. 6d. to
pay. The woman said that was 6d. more than she
expected, but, without much hesitation, she handed
to the porter the 3s. 6d., and he left. Singularly
enough Messrs. Evans had retained the slip of paper
on which the address was written when the order was
given for the crowbar, and it has been identified as
being Manning's handwriting. The porter in the
course of the evening was taken to Horsemonger-lane
Gaol, and identified both the prisoners. It is pre-
sumed that Manning made away with the crowbar, as
it was not among the articles purchased by Bain-
bridge, the broker. In appearance it resembled a
large ripping chisel, with a rather long flat point,
tipped with steel, the metal rather more than an inch
and a quarter in thickness.

LATEST PARTICULARS.
We are enabled to supply. some additional particu
lars of the assassin's conduct while on his journey
from St. Helier's to Southampton, from the pen of a
gentleman who had every opportunity of witnessing
what occurred, both on board the steam-packet, and
subsequently in the special train by which he was
conveyed to London. It appears that the proposition
that he should walk through the streets of St. Helier's
to the place of embarkation did not emanate from the
prisoner himself, but was suggested to him by some
of the lesser authorities of the place, who, not being
able to procure orders from the Governor to see the
prisoner while in gaol, for all their friends, took this
means of gratifying their curiosity. Manning was
assured that none of the inhabitants would be aware
of his removal, and that he would be enabled to pass
through the streets unobserved, if he consented to
walk to the harbour. Upon this assurance he did so,
but after he had left the prison there were presently
two or three hundred persons at his heels, a circum-
stance which seemed to annoy him very much ; and
after he bad been received on board the Despatch by
Langley, he complained to that officer very warmly on
the subject of the deceit which he said had been prac-
tised upon him by the Jersey police, and declared
that had he known what would happen, he would have
seen them all d—d before he would have walked, and
have been pressed upon by a parcel of " roughs."
The captain of the boat having placed a cabin in the
fore part of the vessel at the disposal of the officers,
Manning-v.zasconducted thither, and here he remained
throughout the voyage. All the efforts of the officers
were not sufficient to preserve privacy for the prisoner;
the passengers would go down stairs, and, under
pretence of looking at the berths in the cabin, they
walked on and stared the wretched man out of coun-
tenance. At length Langley placed his back against
the door, and would not allow even the steward to
enter. The morbid curiosity to see the prisoner was
still so great that a number of persons might gene-
rally be observed in a group near the skylight, gazing
at the miserable man. It has been stated that the
prisoner was very much indulged while in the gaol at
St. Helier's, being allowed brandy and other stimu-
lating drinks. This, it should be remembered, was
under the advice of the medical officer of the prison,
who, having ascertained the previous habits of Man-
ning, was apprehensive that any sudden change might
produce serious consequences. The officers in charge
of the prisoner were advised to continue this liberal re-
gimen, and Manning drank, during the voyage, about
half a-pint of brandy, and sundry pint bottles of stout.
Before the steam-packet left St. Helier's, the chaplain
of the prison had an interview with Manning, and
presented him with a Bible, a gift which he acknow-
ledged in very suitable terms. When the vessel had
gotunder weigh, the prisoner remarked to the officers
that he was very glad to get away from the place. The
prisoner having been allowed very considerable in-
dulgence while in gaol at St. Helier's, Langley did
not consider it necessary to enforce any remarkable
degree of restraint upon him during the passage
across, and nothing like handcuffs or irons were
introduced. When the accused reached Southamp-
ton, however, he was handcuffed to Lockyer before
being brought on deck. As an instance of his extra-
ordinary coolness—not to say effrontery—while thus
manacled, he continued to smoke a cigar. When In-
spector Haynes came on board the ship to receive the
prisoner, this act seemed to him a great breach of
police discipline, and snatching the " weed "
from the assassin's lips, he stamped it beneath his
feet, and immediately afterwards placed another pair
of handcuffs on the prisoner. The wretched man
appeared much humbled at this proceeding, and mut-
tered something in an angry tone to the inspector,
for which, however, he afterwards apologised to Mr.
Haynes. lie remained manacled in the same way

through Out the journey to London, and was driven to
Stone's end station, coupled to inspector Haynes.
During the journey home, Manning very fre-
quently spoke to Langley .on the subject of the crilme
with which he stands charged.—He reiterated his
confident opinion, when his wife is placed beside Mm,
she will " confess all," as he describes' it, and espe-
cially if a clergyman is present. He ran on so twd or
three times, that Langley was compelled to caution
him, and to remind him that as an officer he should be
compelled to repeat anything he might say. Manning
hereupon said, " Oh, but you know I am going to
explain all when I get to town." He also asked
Langley whether he would advise him to have a
solicitor. Langley said that most persons when they
got into trouble obtained legal assistance, and he then
asked who Langley would recommend, and added
that he should retain either Clarkson or Ballantine to
defend him, and wished to know which Langley
thought would be best, a question which the officer
very cleverly answered by saying they were both
very good. It appears from what he says, that he
has been of opinion he can give evidence against his
wife, a delusion which, no doubt, ere this his solicitor
has set him right upon. When informed, during his
railway journey to town, that the Coroner's/jury had
returned a verdict of Niirder" against both
himself and his wife, he appeared very mach sur-
prised, exclaimed, "'Oh !" and heaved a deep sigh. .
The prisoner was so unwell "at the Stone's-end
station on Friday night, that a doctor was sent for 'to
see him, and we understand he is still allowed to take
brandy occasionally.

The very interesting circumstances attendant upon
the chase of the Victoria American packet-ship by
her Majesty's steamer Fire Queen, Captain Allen,
have never yet been correctly given. The following
narrative of the facts may be relied. on :—The two
detective officers Langley and Thornton left town for
Southampton on. Sunday, the 19th ult., and devoted
the following morning to a search for the supposed
assassin in the various ships lying in the harbour of
that place. At noon the Officem went over to • Ports-
mouth, where, about three o'clock, they received in-
formation from London, by telegraph, to the effect
that it was suspected Manning or his wife had secured
a passage on board the Victoria, bound to New York,
which vessel would probably be at Spithead the same
afternoon. Langley immediately communicated with
Mr. Leggatt, the chief of the Portsmouth police, who
accompanied the London officer to • the Platform-
battery, where several boatmen were questioned 'as to
whether they had seen the Victoria eff the port.
The officers were at once informed that she had
passed Spithead about two hours previouily—
that she had not anchored as it was expected
she would, but merely lain to for a few minutes,
and then proceeded with all, sail set upon her
voyage up Channel. Mr. Leggett then advised the
detective officers to accompany him before the Mayor,
who, he stated, would, he had no doubt, on a proper
representation of the circumstances of suspicion, re-'
quest the Port Admiral to grant the use of a Govern-
vernment steamer to pursue the American ship. The
officers did as requested, and explained to the Mayor
the grounds of suspicion which had been communi-
cated by telegraph from London, on 'ascertaining
which the worthy official at once gave the 'officers a
letter of introduction to the Admiral, with a state-
ment of what they desired. It was after six o'clock
when this letter was delivered by the
officers to the Admiral, who, on ascer •
taining its contents, instantly gave directions that the
Fire Queen Government steamer should be placed at
their disposal. The steam' was immediately got up,
and before eight o'clock this fine vessel proceeded out
of the harbour, steering her course up the Solent in
pursuit of the Victoria. After a sail of some hours
the first vessel signalled as the missing ship proved to
be a Prussian man of war. Two or three other
vessels of a smaller size were hailed, and inquiries
made as to whether they had seen a ship answering
the description of the Victoria. No intelligence was,
however, obtained of her whereabout until about two
o'clock in the morning off Portland-bill, when a large
vessel was descried in the distance. The Fire Queen
immediately shaped her course in pursuit, and on ap
proaching within shot challenged in the usual marine
—" What ship ?" "The Victoria, from London to
New York," was the welcome response 'of the man on
the watch, followed up by the inquiry of " What ship
are you ?" " The Queen's ship of war Fire Queen,
coming down to board you ; lay to diiectly," was the
startling reply which issued in hoarse notes from the
deck of the steamer. The American ship immediately
altered her course, and came round ; a boat was lowered
from the steamer, and the two officers (Langley and
Thornton), accompanied by Captain Allen, having
entered it, a few strokes of the sturdy sea-
men brought them alongside the Victoria.
The American captain directed a rope to
be thrown out, but Captain Allen, with sword in
hand, called for the companion ladder to be lowered,
in order that the two landsmen might enter the
vessel without danger, and by it he and the officers
having boarded the vessel, they explained to the cap-
tain the nature of their business, and inquired for
his passenger list. On looking through the list (there
were 315 emigrants on board) Langley saw the name
of Rebecca Manning, against which stood the figures
39. In the absence of any explanation the officer
supposed this to be the number of the berth, and hav-
ing searched it out he found No. 39 berth was occu-
pied by two men, who were fast asleep. On inquiry
it was ascertained that the figures denoted the emi-
grants' age, and not the locality they might occupy
in the vessel. To be brief, after a great deal of
trouble, Langley found Rebecca Manning, and was at
once satisfied that she was not the person of whom
he' was in pursuit. The officers, with Captain
Allen, then left the Victoria, and re-embarked in the
Fire Queen, which returned to Portsmouth imme-
diately.

IS THERE A THIRD ?
(From the Examiner.)
There is still a very mysterious circumstance in the
evidence relating to the murder of O'Connor. The
landlady of the deceased, Ann Armes, states that a
person called at her house on Monday, the 13th of
August, making inquiries for Patrick O'Connor, and
mentioning that he had transacted business with him
on the preceding Saturday, two days after the time
he was missing. Ann Armes identified in the
coroner's court the person who made this representa-
tion, who turned out to be John Basset, clerk to
Messrs. Killick and Co., stock and share brokers.
Basset, under examination, stated a person called at
his principal's office on the 31st of July respecting
the sale of some stock, and made an appointment on
the following day, which he did not keep. He called
again on the 2d of August, apologising for his omis-
sion, and explaining that he did not want to part with
his stock for a couple of days. He called again on
Saturday, the 11th, produced twenty shares of Eastern
Counties Consolidated Stock, and obtained for it 1101.,
for which he signed a receipt in the name of " Patrick
O'Connor, 21, Greenwood-street, Mile-end-road."
After finishing his business he entered into some
gossiping talk about a fishing excursion to Exeter be
was about to make. He did not speak with an Irish
accent; and Basset describes him as of forty-four or
forty-five years of age, very round-faced, tall and
stout made, in height about five feet ten, light whiskers,
complexion not sallow. He subsequently saw the
body of O'Connor, and thought it resembled the
person who had transferred the stock, but could not
swear to the identity, though the build was similar.
John llammond, another clerk in the same house,
deposed that he gave two notes to Basset for the
person representing himself as Patrick O'Connor, one
for 1001., the other for 51., which latter (No. 20,621)
was found in the possession of Mrs. Manning by the
officer Moxey. Hammond also saw the corpse of
O'Connor, and stated that, to the best of his belief,
the dead body was that of the man who had sold the
stock. Now, this sale took place on the 13th, and
O'Connor must have been murdered in the night of
the 11th. The person who sold the stock could not
have been Manning, who is ten years younger than
the conjectured age of the man who did business with
Basset, and who is also shorter, and of a very florid
complexion ; whereas Basset's account of the self-
called Patrick O'Connor is that he was not sallow,
which are negative terms that would not be applied to
a singularly ruddy man. Who, then, can this person
have been ? As a note paid to him was found in the
possession of Mrs. Manning, he is clearly connected,
consciously or unconsciously, with the crime ; and
his representing himself as Patrick O'Connor would
argue a guilty knowledge and complicity. The device
was probably to mislead, and create a belief that
nothing had happened to O'Connor, and that he was
absent for his amusement, and thus to gain time for
the escape of the criminals. There is in this case a
third criminal implicated, still to be traced out.
What became of the 1001. note is another curious
question. The application to Messrs. Killick's office
so far back as the 31st of July, ten days before the
murder, is of a piece with the purchase of the quick
lime more than a month before the wicked opportu-
nity had been found fur its use. Now, it is remark-
able that the person passing himself off as Patrick
O'Connor called first at Messrs. Killick's office to
inquire their terms for stock the very day before
O'Connor visited the Mannings in company with
Walsh, whose presence on that occasion is supposed
to have frustrated the perpetration of the crime
the next day the same person called to say that he

45 =Ye

postponed the sale of the stock, which wasinot forth-
coming till the 13th, the second day after the mur-
der. As with the shovel, the lime, 110 the grave,
every arrangement was made beforeha.fid. The Co-
roner, in his very, imperfect charge, did not advert to
this mysterious person, who could nei*er have been
O'Connor as he represented, nor Manning, to whom
he bore no resemblance; but merely drew the jury's
attention to the fact that a note found 1n the posses-
sion of Mrs. Manning had been paid way to a per-
son under the name of O'Connor ; as if ,the circum-
stance had no extraordinary significant , or as if the
person passing for O'Connor could pos bly have been
O'Connor himself.

THE BERMONDSEY H ROR.
ct
THE COMMODITY OF MU DER.
God's lightning pursuing murder is ecome a true
and active thing. What was a figure of speech is
now a working minister. A phrase in he mouth of
poetry is now a familiar presence—a ousehold re-
tainer, doing hourly errands. We ha e brought lide-
vastation into servitude; we have ma a bond-slave
of destruction. Thus, murder has 'hardly turned
from its abomination—scarcely set f.trth upon its
shuddering flight, when the avenging li htning stays
the homicide.
Marvellous is the poetry of our d ily life ! We
out-act the dreams of story-books. The Arabian
tales are flat, crude gossip against the ritten activi-
ties of our social state. Sinbad, with 's wonders, so
many glories about him, is become a dull fellow, op-
posed by the electric workman—the Clerk of the
Lightning.
Murder, with its black heart beating thick, its
brain blood. gorged, reads the history of its damna-
tion. Hundreds of miles away from its ghastly
work, murder in the stupidity of deepest guilt for
the greater the crime the greater the folly that ever
as a shadow accompanies, and betrays it—murder,
with forced belief in its impunity, reads its own
doings chronicled and commented upon in the news-
paper sheet; and—so far from the victim's grave; the
retreat so cunningly assured,the hiding-place so wisely
chosen—murder draws freer breath, and holds itself
secure ! And the while, the inexorable lightning-
-the
electric pulse—thrills in the wires—and in a
moment idiot murder stammers and grows white in
the face of justice. In the marvellousness that subli-
mates the mind of man, our electric tales make poor
work of the Arabian. Solomon's Genii may sleep in
their brazen kettles. They are, in truth, the veriest
smoke compared with the genii of the Wires.
In the contemplation of this last atrocity—a horror
that, traded upon, seems to taint the wholesomeness
of daily life ; for, in every variety of utterance, mur:
der cries to us in the public streets—in this last grea j
wickedness, there is matter for sad congratulation, for
mournful thanksgiving. An abomination is corn•
mitted, and, so wonderful are the means of apprehen-
sion ; so sure and so astounding in their operation
and guilt has but a few gasps of fancied freedom, and
lo ! guilt is captive. Considering the certainty—the
fate that travels the wires—we take hope that from
the self-conviction of discovery—from the dishearten-
ing belief that there is no escape—no evasion from
the consequence of crime, the miserable wretch
tempted to evil, will turn in his mind the many odds,
and refrain upon the lowest principle—that of calcu-
lation. This is something. The murderer in mind
who would not be stayed in his guilt by the thought
of after lightning—may pause, awed by the thought
of lightning ready—the unerring telegraph.
And, in the present hour, there is another cause
of mournful pride to the English nation. It was a
solemn business, a stern and awful work begun, when
the Fire Queen, with her black flag of smoke, stood
out from Portsmouth; bound to cross the Atlantic, if
need were—to stay and overhaul the Victoria,
freighted with the curse of murder. There is a fine,
stern lesson in this ; a noble sermon, preached dxtem-
pore to embryo crime. Justice at the Home'-office
makes the wires speak, saying to a certain Admiral—
" Send a fast-sailing ship to sea, that retributionmay
be dune upon bloodshedtlers." There is something
solemn, awful, in the warning uttered in this.. lit say s
to crime—" Though the sea encompass you ; though
you have baulked pursuit, and justice—like a hound
at fault—beats and gropes confounded ; though you
have begun to count the profits of blood, and how to
make the most of them ; how, in your new country,
to live a life of impunity and ease—nevertheless,
give up the dream ; dismiss the vision, and awake to
horrid truth. For there, in the horizon mileslaway,
in a thin dark vapour—the man at the mast 11s seen
and reported it—and, with every ten minutes, it be-
comes more distinct—and now the distant l'un is
heard across the water, booming command : and the
ship's yards swing round—she lays to ; and, how
rapid the ceremony, how brief the time ! and murder,
aghast and manacled, is made again to turn its face
toward the land it has outraged with the sacrifice of
blood.—Punch. 1

Yesterday (Sunday) morning; shortly aftdr two
o'clock, a el e of a very alarming and destructive character,
which was nearly attended with a melancholy less of
life, occurred upon the premises of Mr. William Taylor
(who resides at Oxford), No. 12, Clement's Inn-passage,
Strand. The flames were first discovered by police-
constable No. 96 F, at which period they were !raging
apparently in the first or ground floor. The snioke at
the same time was rushing from every window in the
building. The constable raised an instant alarm, and
after repeatedly knocking at the door, be succeeded in
arousing the occupant of the first floor, a gentleman of
the name of Foster. That party on getting up' found
the smoke so dense that he could scarcely draw his
breath. Having got to the front window, be was just in
the act of throwing himself out, when he recollected that
a man and his wife were sleeping in the floor above. To
that part of the house Mr. Foster made, when he awoke
the two parties who were there sleeping, and ;having
dragged them to the first-ioor window, he lowered them
down, and afterwards jumped out himself. T

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT FROM CHLOROFORM.--An
accident of a very melancholy nature occurred on Thurs-
day afternoon to Dr. Adams, resident physician in the
Clyde-street Hospital. It appears that on the previous
day, having occasion to make use of a quantity of chlo-
roform, he took several doses himself to try its strength,
but without any serious consequence; however, having
yesterday afternoon repeated this dangerous experiment,
and incautiously increased the dose to a very large
degree, he no sooner applied it to his lips than he imme-
diately fell back and expired. Several physicians were
in immediate attendance, who did everything which skill
and experience could suggest, but without effect, as life
was extinct,—North British Mail.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, SEPTEMBER 2.—We had a very
severe storm of thunder and lightening on Satur-
day night at Portsmouth, accompanied, we are
happy to say, with a deluge of rain; it com-
menced at eight o'clock and continued till midnight.
,The rain will be of vast benefit to the health of the
town, cleansing the sewers, the drains, and the
gutters. The cholera, which still occasionally breaks
otitNand proves fatal in some of the unwholesome
local4ies will, no doubt, now take its final departure.
For the last four or five days past we have had dull,
heavy, sultry weather, with a sort of sirocco wind,
which the thunder and lightning of last night cleared
away.
The Gitana; schooner yacht, belonging to the Earl
of Lincoln, has been brought in the graving slip at
the dockyard to repair.
The Victoria and Albert will return most of her
cabin furniture, and go up to her winter moorings
early next week. -
The Stromboli steamer, Lord A. Beauclerk, sailed
for the eastward, supposed Aberdeen, on Friday night.
The Hendrik Hudson, American liner packet, ar-
rived from the river last night; she has embarked
passengers, and will sail this evening for New York.
Wind S.S.E.; moderate breezes and cloudy.
WooLivicu, SEPT. I.—The Rhadamanthus steam-
vessel went down the river to Sheerness, where she
will remain until further orders, being now ready
for sea.
