MADEMOISELLE PLESSY.—This charming actress was,
on Friday, condemned to pay 100,000 francs (4,0001.), with
loss of her pension as a societai7e, for having quitted the
Thatre Francais, Paris, contrary to the articles of agree•
went between her and the director. Our readers will recol-
lect that, some months ago, this lady married a literary
gentleman, N. Arnould, and immediately left France for St.
I'etersburgh, where she was engaged at a high salary. We
gather from the trial that, in reply to a letter from her
country residence, stating that she was ill, she received a
harsh communication, telling her that the director would not
send a physician seven leagues to certify her illness, and
ordering her to return. This very ungallant note so shocked

THE LATE Mn. BLEWITT.—In consequence of the
lapse of time that took place between the infliction of the
gun-shot wound and the death of the unfortunate man
Blewitt, considerable interest was excited amongst the
medical profession, respecting the course thst the ball tra-
versed, and the precise cause that superinduced the fatal
result. This interest arose from an impression amongst
many of the faculty: that the ball passed through the lungs,
whilst others imagined that it was the shock which the
system sustained that occasioned death. Last night a post
mortem examination was instituted, Mr. Partridge acting as
chief operator, of which the following is an accurate analy-
sis :—The ball traversed in a circuitous direction, extending
from between the sixth and seventh ribs below the right
shoulder-blade, and from thence partially around the chest,
between the pleura covering of the lungs and the walls of
the chest, through the substance of the inferior lobe of the
right lung. On removing the interior part of the thorax, a
large quantity of purulent matter escaped, which was ob-
served to occupy the right pleural cavity, pressing upon the
lungs, and thus rendering it impermeable to the air. The
large amount of fluid of a purulent character, with the shock
the system had sustained, was the paramount cause in the
production of death.
COALS, &c.—A return has been issued by order of
the House of Commons, relative to the quantities of coals,
cinders, and culm, shipped, &c., from the United Kingdom.
It thence appears that in 1844 there were 7,377,862 tons of
coals, cinders, and culm shipped at the several ports of the
United Kingdom coastwise to other ports thereof ; and that
in 1845 the quantity was 8,723,468. In the year 1844, the
quantity exported from the United Kingdom was 1,754,171
tons, of which the declared value was 672,056/. In the
course of: the last year the exports amounted to 2,531,282
tons, and the declared value thereof to 987,635/ In 1846,
the quantities of coals brought coastwise, and by inland
navigation and land-carriage, into the port of London,
amounted to 2,563,166 tons; and in 1845, to 3,461,199 tons.

NORWICH A PORT.—It seems that the Railway Com-
pany will have the credit of demonstrating, practically,
that Norwich can be made a port of importance. Durin.g.
the last week, as many as eighteen sea-borne vessels, vza
Lowestoft, many of them of considerable burthen, having
been lying near Foundry-bridge, laden with coals, coke, and
other materials, for delivery at the railway station. This
proves how excellent and how practicable was the plan of
our late esteemed fellow-citizen, Crisp Brown, Esq.; and
must cause universal regret that it then failed. It becomes a
question, whether, as the Haven and Pier Commissioners and
the Yarmouth people, throw so many impediments in the way
of effecting a communication between Norwich and the sea
via that port, it would not be well for the committee for im-
proving the navigation to turn their attention to Lowestoft,
where a commodious and spacious harbour is forming ; and
by which, it is now abundantly proved, sea-borne vessels
can obtain access to our wharfs P—Nolrfoh Chronicle.
