DISTRESSING SUICIDE BY A GIRL.—On Saturday
a girl, twelve years of age, named Margaret Roberts, the
eldest of eight children, the daughter of a gardener at F.ovi'
ton Castle, in this county, committed suicide by
.drowning'
The poor girl was in the service of Miss Higgins, of the
ladies' semis. ry. at Ford, and for several months past had
*lifer( d much from abscess of the ear, which doubtless
affecttd her brain. On Saturday morning she left her Inis'
tress's house without any reason, and came to Shrewsbury
with several market-girls; it being her first visit to ibis
town, and there being no reason for her visit. Oa her vati
home sbe complained of her head aching, and wished she Ws°
in the Severn About five o'clock she was seen going across
the fields from Ford towards the Severn, which was much
flooded at the time. The ferryman at Montford weir called
anti asked if she wanted to cross the river. Instead of an'
wering she proceeded up to the next field, and in a ier
minutes was heard a shriek that reached the village of Mont'
ford; but no one that heard it suspected the fatal cause. The
girl being missed, search was made, and her bonnet and collar
were found on the bank; and when the water subsided, her
footsteps were traced in the soft soil near the bank. Tll,B
body has not yet been found, and it probably will be carried
a great distance by the flood.— Shrewsbury libronick.
TUE CHANCELLORSHIP OF CAMBRIDGE,—We have
every reason to believe that his Royal Highness the Prince'
Field-Marshal has graciously signified his intention to accept
the honour so unanimously conferred upon his Royal High-
ness by a majority of 116 of the Members of the Senate 0,
the University of Cambridge, after a contest of unexampled
severity.—Post.
A NEW %VAT OF PAYING ARREARS oF BASTARD.
—A tradesman, residin; not fifty miles from Hull, was,
short time ago, saddled by the magistrates with the main'
tenance of a bastard child; but, not relishing the burden,
he bit upon a novel expedient to show his chagrin and vote
tion. Last week the friends of the mother; who reside at
Bishop Burton, near Beverley, received, by carrier, a beavY:
suspicious-looking parcel, which emitted a strong odour, 11°'
at all pleasant to the olfactory organ: with some misgiving:
as to the nature of its contents, the parcel was opened—It
contained a considerable sum of money. all in fartbiogs:
thickly embedded in oil and tar, being the mode of payment
adopted to satisfy the arrears due for the support of the chit.'
We would advise the unfortunate tradesman to send his nett
remittance in a barrel full of those unctuous, sticky ingre.:
dients, and then the poor people may set up a bastard at
and tar shop.—Hull Advertiser.
