THE POTATO CROP.—On Saturday mans
market gardeners at Mortlake, Barnes, Putney, .F 111417:
and places adjacent, commenced moving the earl t ,Pk;
tato crops, which, without any exceptions that coal( 1""
ascertained, are perfectly free from the aphis vasta for,
and all other kinds of diseases. The number of potal toes
on each root is about the average, and they are as 613°
and sound as in any previous season. Some mown) en
-
and
have recently been made by a Morning C k:0:1"
temporary, having for their object the immediate' 11P;
rooting of potatoes for the purpose of sowing hs ne,f
beans. A correspondent remarks that such a coursi 3:de
adopted, would temporarily annihilate two calve de
sources of food, inasmuch as the potatoes would be
stroyed, and the time for sowing harico beans is 11.
the proper time being towards the close of April or arY,
the
the in May. The harico beans sown in the sprint fel
the present year are scarcely yet in blossom, an
probability is, if they were sown now, that, beimg
very tender plant, they would not outlive the oho, bt
severe frosts which it is well known immediately_ pr t
the early dawn of August mornings. Throughou
most
county of Surrey, generally, the potatoes are ma 3 ;
healthy condition. P dills
DETERMINED StrICIDE.—On Saturday, —r.

Hannah Greatrix, aged 33. Benjamin Wood, a cowl la;
sitor, deposed that he had cohabited with deceased

him, him, compelled hi=

leave her in January last. Thursday night he met qa
ceased in Union-street, Somers-town, when she told
abs had taken arsenic; but he did not believe her, as « 3r:
had frequently before threatened to destroy hers'
The next morning he found her dying in the hospit4 sir
where she expired in six hours after her admission. 5110
had recently attempted self-destructiou by swan°, Filial;
a quantity of laudanum. Thomas Edwards, assista oI to
Mr. Knowles, druggist, Seymour-street, stated the r 011
Thursday evening he sold deceased, in the presence .of
witness, four drachms of white arsenic for the avo vied
purpose of killing rats. The house-surgeon obset,red
that four grains would destroy life, and that the qi2au.•
tity sold contained 240 grains. The coroner and Piny
censured the culpable practice pursued by chemists ;and
Kelly, of
Koefnniinndgitsocnrtmsmaiadtetlhyastelalitn
selling poison.
elTevhe7t. 4 assort
Thursday night, he found deceased sitting on the step of
a hall door in Green-street. She told him that she ti ad
taken poison, and begged of him to procure a constal
to carry her to the hospital, which office witness hit
self performed. She acknowledged that she took t he
poison herself, and expressed a hope that sho would sat
survive. Verdict, " Deceased destroyed herself, b
there was no evidence as to the state of her mind at ti be
time she committed suicide."

report was raised that Astley's Amphitheatre was °ll

Fortunately, however, the attendants of the theatre bill'
succeeded in subduing the flames in their idea*. or
the consequences would have been most disastrous. r;

chandeliers burning, the cotton fell on the light al?!
