A MOTHER STABBED BY HER DAUGHTER.---°ll
Saturday an inquest was held at Ranisey, at the house
of William Pyman, a farmer, on the hody of his wife'
Anne Spencer Pyman, aged 74. Mary Ann Pyinee'
single woman, stated that the d-ceased was her mother:
On Tuesday, the 10th inst., about one o'clock in the sl.
ternoon, her mother and her sister, Eliza Pyrnari, -were
in the sitting-room together, when her sister called to
her to bring a lily leaf to put on her mother's knee. She
got a !tat, and went into the room with it, when he,
mother said to her, " She (meaning her sister Elie"
has cut a hole in my knee, only because I said there
should be some more cabbage for dinner." She placed
a lily leaf steeped in brandy upon the wound, and-tlOO •
handkerchief over it. She had forgotten before to stag
that as soon as she came into the room her nin'ther so-
to her, "Eliza has thrown a knife at my knee." Her sister
Eliza said nothing. The wound was continued to be
dressed by them until the Tuesday following (the 17th),
when Mr. Smith, the surgeon of Manningtree, was sent
for, who came that morning, and who attended her uP
to the time ()flier death, which took place on Thursdnio
the 26th inst. Her mother did not say whether any
blows had passed between her and her sister. Her sister
had been for some time past labouring under aberration
of intellect. This witness gave h' r evidence in a some
what strange manner. Other evideuce having beet;
given, and the coroner having summed up, the jury ref ;
turned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Elise
Pyman," and she was committed for trial. The &ugh",
who has been committed to take her trial is sbOIP
twenty-four years old, and was upstairs during the
f
inquiry; and when the coroner and jury went to vie:
the body she was extremely violent, and was breakieb
things in her bedroom.

}low little we hnow what is in the bosoms of these
around us! How natural it is, however, to feel and M..
as if we knew how to account for all that appears on the
surface by [he limited acquaintance we have with ciri
ClllllSitifiD s and feelings—to resent an indifference °
which we kn w not the cause—to approve or condo°
without allowance for chagrin, or despair, or lcive, of
hope, or distress—any of the deep under currents for
rat work in the chTtl)s of human bosoms. The
young man at your side at a dinner-party may have
duel on his hands for the morning,,si disgrace imminent
in credit or honour, or a refused heart or an accePtee
one, newly crushed or newly 'nide happy; or (ninr
common still and less allowed for), he may feel the first
impression of disease, or the consequences of an inue
gestion; and for his egre( ablenees or disagreeableness,
you try to account by simething in yourseli, some feel;
ing toward yourself, as if you, and you only, could affect
his spirits or give a colour to his mood or manners. Tee
old man's thought of death, the mother's overwhelming
interest in her child, the woman's up-spring of emotil
or love, are visitors to the soul that come unbidden 103'
out of time; and you can neither feast nor mourn sccuve
against their interruption. We would explain many
coldness could we look into the heart concealed from 119,1
we should often pity when we hate, love when we thin"
we cannot ever forgive, admire when we curl the lip_
with scorn and indignation. To judge without reservB
of any human action is a culpable temerity, of all 011;
sins the most unreeling and frequent.-I.fiza Cook!

A BUFFALO HUNT IN LONDON.—Yesterday three
buffaloes, a grown bull, and two calves, one of them
about the size of a email donkey, and the other of 111
sheep, landed at the docks, were being driven along
Holborn to the Eu,ton-square terminus, for transit to
Birmingham, when, frightened by the strange noise end
clamour at the foot of Holborn-hill, the bull darted :oval
followed by the calves. The animals proceeded at a
very rapid rate along Fleet-street and the Strand I°
Charing-cro.is. Here the hull gored some horses draw
ing a coal waggon, dashed across Trafalgar and St•
James's.squares, along Jermyn street, up Bond-street,
through Grosvenor-square, into Park•lane, upsetting
Captain English and his horse at the moment coming
out of the park, having accomplished which he fell in
behind a load of hay being driven up Patk-lane. The
keepers, who had followed in a chaise cart, attended h);
an immense crowd, now came up, and ropes being passed
round his horns he was secured to the tail of the cart.
He kicked and plunged furiously, and from his gel
strength threatened to upset both horse and cart, an
broke one of his Lorna, which bled profusely. He seas
at length drawn to a neighbouring stable and deposited
for safety. The bull and calves are very handsome
animals, of a greyish slate colour. No serious accident
occurred in this long chase, though numbers were execs"
aively frightened.
BOSTON ELECTION.—BOSTON, JULY 81.—The
general opinion here is that Mr Wire must win. Fresh'
field is the only candidate against him who has eel
chance w hate ver. Mr. Pelham will be disgraceful));
beaten, and the Yarborough interest materially injured
by the opposition to the popular candidate. A worse
result still will be the division of the Liberal interest for
the future, and thereby the strengthening of the Toil
chances at a general ele:etion. The meetings at 'be
theatre, to hear Mr. Wire aid his friends, are nighflY,
crowdel to suffocation, hunclrt ds being unable to find
room. The enthusiasm in his favour is quite extra(/'
dinary.

CLERK To THE METRoP,".LITAN Ci. MMIS,ION trF SEw Las-
-17rstercluy afternoon, at the close of office hours, the

bled in the large room of the office, Greek street, for
the purpose of presenting their lute chief clerk, Mr.
Ilertalet, with some nook of their approbation of Ids
services, on his retirement from the commission. The
testimonial, we believe, was
.truly a genuine expreSii°
of feeling on the part of every person engaged in that
department, and their regret at his loss. The testimonial
cohni,tel of a massive chased silver inkstand tray, pith
some very clulste and tasteful appendages, and bwore the
fotiovtitg inscription:—" Presented to Lewis COOkn°
llertslet, Esq., as a tribute of respect and esteem, front
the officers of the M, tropolitan Commission of Sevvers,
on his retie went from ffice. July 31, 1849." On Mr'
liertslet entering the room, the Chief Surveyor addressed
him and said, he had great pleasure in presenting hie)

whole of the persons enraged in the office,
and with
their best wishes towards him on his retirement. Air'
Hertslet returned thanks, and afterwards received the
individual acknowledgments of every person Present'
