DRURY-LANE TuEATRE.—This theatre was crowded
in every part last night, the attraction being the benefit of
Mr. Bunn. The performances were of a very varied descrip-
tion, including the services of many popular artists, whose
contributions were received with great enthusiasm. In the
course of the evening Mr. Bunn addressed the house in a
brief speech suitable to the occasion.

programme was made up of songs and duets executed by Mr.
E. Day. Mr. Trenklee, Mr. Sporle, Mr. Shoubridge, Miss
Stewart, Mrs. Aveling Smith, and others.
SPINNING-HOUSE RIOTS.—Our streets still present
from time to time lingethag evidence of the ill-couditioned
crusade against Proctorial authority, of which we hope
some of the instigators are now ashamed. On Monday
,vening a commotion arose on Market-hill, a little after
eight o'clock, in consequence of the impertinence of a few
dirty little boys ; larger wiseacres by and by interered.
and there was the usual hooting and shouting and mobbing
of the Proctors, until at last a rather serious row was gene-
rated in St. Andrew's-street, and missiles flew about, so
that the windows of the Bird Bolt Inn, and the lamp over
the entrance gateway, were smashed. A silly fellow, named
Wilson, was captured, and on being brought before the
borough bench on Tuesday morning, was sentenced to pay
a fine of 5/., or suffer two months' durance vile, for his
ridiculous display of the preceding night.— Cambridg,
Chronicle.

EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT AT LOWESTOFF.-0i:
Friday last one of the men engaged in pile-driving on the
South Pier was observed to Nave his hand to some per-
sons who were passing in a boat; just at this identical time
the bell of the engine, weighing 21 cwt., was descending.
and forced the hand of the unfortunate individual in con-
tact with the head of the pile. A sad mutilation was the
consequence. When conveyed to the Infirmary it was
deemed necessary to amputate the limb. With a view of
sparing the pain necessarily attendant upon. so severe an
operation, the narcotising process with ether was employed,
but so far from its producing a sedative effect, the most vio-
lent and uncontrollable excitement ensued. At the end of
two or three minutes this abated, when the poor fellow
allowed Mr. Worthington to remove the limb, which he bore
with the utmost composure and fortitude. At present he is
doing well. —lVOrwich Mercury.
SUICIDE OF A POLISH NOBLEMAN.--On Saturday
an inquest, adjourned from Thursday last, was resumed
and concluded before C. C. Lewis, Esq., coroner for Essex,
at the Crooked Billet public house, Woodford, on the bed).
of Mr. Herman Poznaiiski, aged 37, a native of Polanl, and
a nobleman of that country. who committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head, under the following cir-
cumstances:—lt appeared from the evidence of the father of
the deceased and other witnesses, that for some time past the
deceased had been in a low and desponding state of mind,
caused by being reduced from affluence to the most dire
state of distress. On Sunday morning he lett home, and
between twelve and one o'clock on that day the report of a
stol was heard in Epping Forest, between Chigwell and
Woodford. On some persons proceeding to the spot, they
found the deceased lying upon the ground, with blood flow-
ing from his mouth, and by his side a pistol, recently dis-
charged. He was removed to the Crooked Billet, where a
surgeon attended, who found that the deceased had put the
pistol into his mouth and fired, the ball passing through the
larynx and lodging in the neck. Although so seriously in-
jured, the deceased lingered until Wednesday, when he died.
All that was found on his person was two duplicates, a half-
penny, a pair of gloves, and a letter addressed to Lord Dudley
Stuart, thanking the Noble Lord fur the part he had taken
in trying to obtain the regeneration of Poland, which he (the
writer) despaired of seeing ever carrie,i into effect
On the 4th instant the funeral of the unfortunate
Victims of the destruction of the Grand Ducal Theatre was
solemnized at Carlsrhue. An immense crowd of the inhabi-
tants formed a dounle line to_ in
the cemetery gates. The ashes
of the victims were enclosed n eight coffins,
ill Om taut* which were laid
