FATAL. AFFRAY ON TILE BERWICK AND NEWCASTLE
RAIL w AY.—Tuesthy afternoon, some dispute arose be-
tween Vire Irishmen and an Englishman, on the line of
raik ay forming between Walker and Benton, which
was bv Captain Potts, who happr,r.ed to be near
the place, and on going up he endearoured to I,ring
aboat a reconciliation. Unfortunately one of the Irish-
men, Georg,: Msthews, reckless of consequences, paste
Captain Potts mitt', and taking someth,ng out of hi;
wzieleoit-po,ket,, ru'hnd towards the Englishman, anti
staldaed him in the abdomen. The p,or man instantly
fell, and in a few moments breathed his last, the assassin
running towards Neweivithi, where he was purz.o d and
c, p•ure,l by police constable 42, near to the Byker
police station.—Nericastle Advertiser.
THERMOMETERS IN SCHOOL-ROOMS.— A therm-
meter should be kept in every school room, and hung
on the coolest side of it. The proper temperature
should be determined by unchangeable laws, not by the
variable feelings or caprice of any iniliritlu il. Without
a thermometer—if the teacher be habituated to live in

the open air ; if he be health, vigorous and youn ; if
he walk a mile, or several miles to school ; and espe-
cially if h.- keep upon his fe't during the school hours,
the scholars wilt be drilled and scolded into a resip.na
non to groat suffering from cold. If, on the other
hand, the toacher lead a sedentary life, if his heath be
feeble, or if he step into the school-room from a neigh-
bouring door, he will perhaps unconsciously create a
little summer about himself, and subject the children
to a perilous transition in temperature whenever they
leave his tropical regions. In this way a child's lungs
may get a wound in early life which neither Cuba re r
the South of France can afterwards heal.—Americun Re-
po, t on the Subject of School houses.
ALLEGED CRUELTY TO AN OLD MAN IN THU
HAVERHILL UNION Heusi.—The town and neighbour-
hood-of Haverhill have been thrown into a state of the
utmost ex:iten-ent in cons, qttence of rumours that an
old man n trued John Webl., 78 years of age, a pauper,
had died in consequoice of cruel and brutal treatment
received by Lim at the hands of the officers of the Haver-
hill Union House. The old man, it is stated, was childish
an bed-x.l(ller, an 1, of course, troublesome, his infirmi-
ties calling for assistant!, which occupied some time, and
demanded some humanity to render. It is represented that
the son of the deceased g, dug to see his father, who was
confined to his bed in the Infirmary of the Union House,
found him senseless, and discovered some blood
trinkling down one side of his face, a blow on one of hrs
knees, and his ancle very much bruised as though he
had been severely beaten. Besides the blow on the
bead there was also an injury on his right eye, which
was plastered up with three plasters, and he was in a
state of the utmost filthiness. On Monday last an in-
quest was commenced at the Greyhound Inn, Haver-
hill, before Harry Waymenn, Esq., on the body of the
deceased, whereat the two sons were examined, but the
inquiry
.being adjourned, we abstain from giving parti-
culars, in justice to all p trties. The excitement on the
spot is most intense, and the decision of the jury is looked
forward to with the utmost anxiety.—Bury Herald.
MORTALITY OF THE METROFOLIS.—The total
number of deaths registered in the metropolis for the
week ending Saturday, October 3, was 935 ; of this
number 879 were deaths from other causes than violence,
showing an increase in the number of deaths from dis-
ease of 87, as compared with the week preceeding. The
number of deaths from diarrhma were 43 ; from dysen-
tery, 8 ; and from cholera, 3. The number of deaths
from diseases of the lungs and organs of respiration
amounted to 222, of which 127 were from cousumption.
The deaths from typhus were 38. There were 1,359
births during the week.
THE GAME LAWS.—A HARD CASE.—A few days
ago Henry Pearce was brought before the magistrates
at Chichester, and charged with being concerned in an
act of poaching five years ago. Pearce was fined
21. 12s. 6d.; and in default to two months hard labour.
Be paid the fine; but this did not seem to suffice. The
gamekeepers and their masters were determined to
rid themselves of their neighbour ; so a trumpery tale
was raked up, an information was sworn and a warrant
issued, and Pearce was taken on the sly, hurried
before their worships and convicted out of hand of being
found in the road on a dark night in winter, five years
ago, for an unlawful purpose, and sent to hard labour for
one month. He declared he was innocent of the alleged
offence, and that the charge had sprung from spite and
malice. -During the five years Pearce has been absent
be had served her Majesty at sea four years and up-
wards, and this treatment is the reward an ungrateful
country bad iipstore for him.—Brighton Guardian.

ENORMOUS QUANTITY OF SHIPPING AT ODESSA
Letters from Odessa of the 18th September, received* in
Liverpool, state that a fleet of no less than 150 mer-
chant vessels arrived at that port the day before, thus
effectually putting an end to the scarcity of shipping
which bad so long prevailed. These vessels were
chiefly Greek and Italian, only six of them being
British. From 350,000 to 40,000 quarters of wheat had
been bought for shipment on boardithese vessels, chiefly
for Italy and the south of France, and from 110,060 to
150,000 qrs. still remained on sale. The arrivals of new
wheat had been small, bnt were expected to be liberal
during the next two months. The price of new wheat,
of good quality, was 345, to 345. Bd. per quarter, and the
freight to England was 12s. 3d. a quarter. The stock of
Indian corn was very small.

The Augsburg Gazette farnishes us with the following
details of the affair of the seizure at Cologne of a casket,
by two Prussian advocates, beiieving it to contain letters
and documents, but which, on being opened, was fourd to
he filled with bank notes only,l which were restored
immediately to their owner. The names of the par-
ties concerned in these transactions are the Count de
Hatzenfeld, one of the richest persons in Germaey,
being possessed of estates bringing him in a revenue
equal to 570,000 f. a year; his Countess, who is the
daughtee of a Sovereign of one of the petty states of Ger-
many; Mme. de Mezendorff, the mistress of the Count;
and Dr. Mendelssohn and M. Appenheim, the lawyers
The Count and Countess have three children, two suns
and a daughter, but in consequence of the Count's inter-
course with Mine. de Mezendorff, the Countess sepa-
rated from her husband, contenting herself with an
allowance from him, extremely small in proportion to
his income, which was partly derived from the fortune
she brought him. About the end of August last ,the
Countess was informed that there had been registered
at Dusseldorf a deed, whereby the Count had charged
his estates with a very large annuity, to he paid to
Mdme. de Mezendorf during her life, on the pretended
consideration that she had advanced to him a !arge sum
of money. Under the advice of friends she went to the
Count, and represented to him the injustice he had at-
tempted tocommit towards her arid her children, mad& r-
ing that thr• whole of their joint property was, according
!o their marriage settlement, held by them in common, and
that, according to the law of the land, their eldest son
would be heir to all the, freehold estates. She therefore
urged him, in order to avoid the scandal of a suit at Ire.,
to annul the grant to Madame de Mezendorff. The
Count refured to listen to her remonstranc,s, and she
thereupon eensulred the two advocates above name d.
They recommended, as the first object, that every en-
eleav,.ur should be made to obtain possession of the letters
he' weep the Count and his mistress as the most / ikely
reeaes of proving that the consideration inserted
in the annuity' deed was fictitious. Learning that
Madame de Mezendorli was at Coblentz, the two
advocates hastened there, and, being informed that
the papers they were in search of were carried with
her in a casket., contrived to get into her apartment in
tee night, and to carry off the supposed depository.
Ma lame de Mezendorff very soon missed her treasure,
and learnt by whom she had been robbed. Losing no
time in applying to the police, warrants were issued f r
the arrest of M. Appenheim and Dr. Mendelssohn.
The former, on learning this, returned to Coblentz
and surrendered himself to prison ; but the Doctor
is still at liberty. He has, however,
‘written to
the magistrates, pledging his honour that he
will return and give himself up in time to take
his trial. It is stated that both these advocates, how-
ever irregular their conduct may be deemed in this in-
stance, are men of known honour and integrity. A
curious incident has attended the pursuit of Dr. Mendels-
sohn. At Herbersthel, a small Prussian town near the
frontier of Belgum, the police officers arrested the
c )usin of the Doctor, M. Felix Mendelssohn Bartholely,
the celebrated composer, who was returning from Belgium
by the railroad, but who is a doctor in music, and not
of law. He was taken to prison, and there detained till
the next day, when two persons of note came from Co-
logne to identity him, and he was set at liberty.

TO PRESERVE CUT FLOWERS.—The most simple
tiles are, not to put too many flowers in a glass, to
change the water every morning, and to remove every
decayed leaf as soon as it appears, cutting off thy ends
of the stems occasionally., as soon as they show any
53 mptems of decay. A more efficacious way, however,
is to put nitrate of soda in the water ; as about as mush
as can easily be taken up between the forefinger and the
thumb put into the glass every time the water is changed
will preserve cut flowers in all their beauty for above a
fortnight. Nitrate of potash (that is common saltpetre),
in powder, has nearly the same eff,cr, but it is not
quite so efficacious.—Mrs. Loudon's Lady's Country Com-
panion.

CAUTION TO RAILWAY SERVANTS.—At the magis-
trates'-court at Reigate, on Monday last, before Mr.
Freshfield, M.P., George Wilson and Charles Clarke,
two engine-drivers of the Brighton Railway, were sum-
moned, at the request of the South-Eastern Railway
Company, for endangering the lives of passengers by
inattention to the signals at the Reigate station. John
Reeves, a switchman of the Dover line, was sworn and
examined by Mr. C. Nash, who attended on behalf of the
South-Eastern Company. He deposed that, on the 28th
of August last, the defendants were driving the two en-
gines attached to the Brighton train ; that on its arrival
at the Reigate station the Brighton signals were both
extended for it to stop ; that the Dover up train was
due, and was signalled as in sight ; that it approached
the Reigate station, having to cross the Brighton down
line to get to the up platform ; that at the same moment
the defendants started their train—witness observed it
coming, alt tough the signal was for it to stop ; that he ;
extended b .th his hands, which is always a stop signal
but that that was also disregarded ; and seeing the
trains would inevitably come into collision, he ran down
the signal on to the line, and said to one of the de-
fendants—" Do you not see the signals? Where arc
you going ? " The defendants reversed their engines ;
but as that would not prevent a collision, witness ran up
to the points, and turned the Brighton train on the Dover
down line, and thus avoided the collision. The witness
was severely cross examined by Mr. Everset, of Brighton,
for the defendants, but his evidence was not shaken as to
the position of the signals. John Watts, another
switchman, confirmed his evidence. In cross ex •
amination he admitted that he heard the plat-
form bell ring, which was a signal that all was right at
the platform, but was no authority to the defendants to
go on until the signals were moved to correspond. Other
evidence confirmatory of this was adduced, and Mr.
Gray, superintendent of the Brighton locomotives, stated
that one defendant had resigned his situation, but there
being contradictory statements, the other had remained
in the service. Mr. Everset addressed the bench in
mitigation ; he did not mean to deny the negligence of
his clients, although he was instructed that it could be
contradicted ; and after an able comment on the case,
threw the defendants on the mercy of the Court. Mr.
Freshfield consulted with his brother magistrate, and
said that topics had been introduced by the defendants
which we -e not relevant to the case, and lucidly pointed
out the immense importance of attention to the signals,
as the only and bast means that the human mind could
devise for the public safety ; and it only required proper
attention to answer the purpose. He considered the
case as clearly made out, and of so much importance as
to justify an imprisonment ; but as the defendant Clarke
was driver of the second engine, and there were mitiga-
tory circumstances in his case, he should have sentenced
him to two months' imprisonment, and the other to three
months, with hard labour, in the county gaol ; but on
reference to the particular clause of the statute, it was
found that the maximum period was fixed at two months ;
and he therefore reduced Clarke's term to one month,
and Wilson's to two months' imprisonment.

On Tuesday a Parliamentary doom was issued,
of twenty-eight pages, containing several papers relative
to corporal punishment in India. Mr. [Turn° moved for
a copy "of any orders- i sued by the Governer-General
or Commander-in-Chief in India respecting corporal
punishment of Eur,,peatls and natives in British India
since the 19th of March, 1827." By a circular, dated
the 16th of June, 1827, the Commander- in-Chief gave
some explanation respectirg a former circular letter, and
the general orders restricting the punishment of flog-
ging in the native army. Regimental or detachment
courts-martial were reminded that where they sentenced
a native soldier to be flogged, his dismissal would also
follow, and that they ought not to award the punish
ment of flogging except for very serious offences against
discipline, or actions of a disgraceful and infamous
nature, unbecoming the!character of a soldier. Another
circular was issued in :November, 1832. When it hap-
pened that a soldier had been found guilty of an offence
which rendered it improper that he should remain any
longer in the service, although the zeteral conduct of the
man had been such that an example was unnecessary, or
he mighthave relations in the regiment of excellent charac •
ter upon whom some part of the disgrace would fall if he
were flogged, the commander-in-chief authorised com-
manding officers of regiments in all cases where a native
soldier had been sentenced to corporal punishment to
di: charge him from the a; rvice, if they considered it to
be exped:ent, although the punishment was rt mitted
altogether. In every case of a discharge ordered in
consequence of a court-martial, the circumstances of
the soldier having been found guilty and sentenced to
corporal punishment was to be distinctly specified in
his discharge certificate, and in the monthly casualty
list transmitted to head quarters. The following is
very gratifying :—" The Commander-in-Chief has ob-
sea.ved with great satisfaction how seldom it is necessary to
resort to such punishment in order to maintain discipline
amongst a body of men who are free frem the vice of ine-
briety ; who are, in general, remarkable for their orderly,
quiet, and obedient behaviour, and for whom dismissal
from the service, where any individual betrays an
opposite character, constitutes of itself a severe, and in
most cases, a sufficient punishment." In February, 1E35,
the following General Order was issued :—" The Go-
vernor General of India, in council, is pleased to direct
that the practice of punishing soldiers of the native army
by the cat o'-nine-tails, or rattan, be discontinued at all
the presidencies, and that it shall henceforth be compe-
tent to any regimental detachment or brigade ccurt-
martial to sentence a soldier of the native army to dis-
missal from the service for any offence for which such
soldier might now be punished by flogging, provided
such sentence of dismissal-shall not be carried into effect
unless confirmed by the General, or other officer com-
manding the division." The document contains an Act

PROGRESS OF STEAM NAVIGATION AND MA •
CHINERY IN FRANCE.—According to a statistical return
it appears that steam navigation and the employment of
steam-engines have made a very rapid progress through-
out France, particularly in the mining and manufacturing
districts, where steam power is now being generally
adopted within the last ten years. In 1835 there were
only 75 steam • vessels, but from the official report there
are at present 238 steamers of various sizes and horse-
power, not only in the royal navy, but belonging to
private parties. From an average calculation that has
been made of the work now done by steam;engines,
compared with manual and horse labour, it is as follows,
showing the gradual increase, viz.:—
For 1840 equal to 1,005,942 workmen and 143,706 horses

DASTARDLY CONDUCT.—SOITIe months ago we
noticed the circumstance of a servant girl, named Ann
Wilson, having had a quantity of vitriol thrown upon her
person whilst passing under one of the railway arches in
Gorbals. We have been informed that, on the evening
of Monday last, the same girl was subjected to a similar
annoyance in the neighbourhood of Waterloo-place,
whereby the cap upon her head was burned, and her
person severely scorched. The scoundrel who committed
this disgraceful act effected his escape. It is an extra-
ordinary fact that this is the third time that the girl
Wilson has suffered injury from assaults of a similar
description. There is every reason to believe that the
same party has been guilty in each case.
The Journal des Chemins de Fer ;Ives the follow-
ing as the numbers of the passengers and the amounts
of the receipts of the Paris railroads during the last
month :

Inspector Gravestock, of the G division of police, ap-
plied to Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, under
the following circumstances:—
The Inspector stated that an elderly man, named
Tatham, had lately taken up his abode at No. 2, Dodd's-
place, Old-street, St. Luke's, and, whom it was stated,
had previously come into possession of 2,000/.-250/. of
which he had either about him, or in the house. There
were only three houses in the above place, and, within
the last
wasfew d
to
one of them had been taken ; the old
man
be seen at the window during the whole of
the day watching the manoeuvres of his new neighbours.
This appeared to give great umbrage to the latter, who,
it would appear, in consequence, sought every means to
annoy the old gentleman, and he applied to him (the in-
spector) at the station ht,use, and what was thought
necessary was done. Last evening, between eight and
nine o'clock, the old gentleman again waited upon him
at the station, when, after addressing himself thus, " so
then you have not thought proper to attend to my com-
plaint," he pulled out a pistol, and pointing it at him
(the inspector), he added, "I know what murder, andsem, means, but remember that you are
manslaughter
amenable for the consequences." He then hastily re•
placed the pistol in his pocket, and hurriedly withdrew.
Thinking it was not safe, however, that such a weapon
should be in the possession of an individual whose 'thud
was evidently nor exactly pellucid, he sent to his house
Sergeant Hammond, 5 G, who, on his arrival, perceived
lying upon the table two pistols. The sergeant imme-
diately took possession of the weapons, and notwith-
standing there was a great objection to this course of
procedure on the part of the old gentleman, the sergeant
conveyed them to the station-house. From subsequent
inquiries, he (the inspector) found that Mr. Tatham
had purchased the pistols during the day for 125., as also
some percussion caps, but that with all his endeavours
he could not procure any powder, although he had been
to every shop in the neighbourhood which professes to
sell that article.
Mr. BROUGHTON (to the inspector)—Do you think,
when he pointed the pistol at you, that be intended you
any personal injury? Inspector Gravestock—No, your
Worship, but merely to show what he intended to o to
those whom
He is in waiting.
he perhaps imagined was about to rob him.
The old gentleman was now ushered into the Court
by order of the Magistrate, when, in answer to ques-
tions put to him by the latter, he said that he had re-
cently
come up from the country, where he had received
1,3001., some of which he certainly kept in the house.
He had formerly been in•the colliery line, but of late
years had lived upon his income. He-had no doubt that
the parties he complained of intended to have robbed him.
The Inspector here said that the house in which the
old gentleman resided was a most wretched hovel.
Mr. BROUGHTON advised the old man, if he were de-
termined to live in such an abode, not to keep his mo-
ney at home, but to put it in some bank, and then no
person would feel desirous of robbing him.
The old gentl
then retired. eman, who appeared to acquiesce in this,

DURHAM, MONDAY EVENING.-At an early hour yes-
terday morning, a great deal of smoke having been ob-
served issuing from the mouth of the downcast shaft of
the Alexander Pit, at Rainton, near the city of Durham,
the property of the Marquis of Londonderry, fears were
entertained that during ttie night an explosion had taken
place, and on some of the officers of the pit descending
the shaft they found that their fears were too fully
verified. It appears that shortly after three o'clock on
the preceding day the workmen had left the pit, when
there was not the least appearance of danger from an
explosion. The only person who was left in the shaft
on the Saturday night was a pitman named Richard
Stott, aged about. ninety years, who had charge of the
furnace used for ventilating the shaft. When the deputy
overman descended the shaft the following morning, lie
found Stott lying beside the furnace quite dead, his body
exhibiting the usual appearance of a person who had been
killed by an explosion of fire-damp. On proceeding to-
wards the stable, it was found that the whole of the
horses, seventeen in number, had also fallen victims to
the explosion. It is a most providential circumstance
that the explosion- took place on the Sunday morning,
for had it happened at any other time, the consequences
might have been of the most frightful nature; every-
thing in the mine having life at the time of the explo-
sion perished. Had the catastrophe occurred on the
Saturday morning, it is supposed that upwards of one
hundred lives would have been sacrificed. This after-
noon au inquest was held on the body of Stott, before
T. C. Maynard, Esq., coroner for Easington Ward,
when John Streaker, the deputy overman, stated. that
on Saturday he left the pit at about three o'clock in the
afternoon, and at that time there was not the least ap-
pearance of fire in the shaft; there was, as was the
usual custom, two oil lamps left burning, but their being
left burning would not have caused the pit to fire. Ile
could not assign any reason for the explosion, but it was
his opinion that it had not taken place spontaneously.
Several other witnesses wero examined, but their evi-
dence was merely a corroboration of that of Streaker;
they all spoke to having left the pit safe and the lamps
burning on the Saturday afternoon. After a short
consultation the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental
death."

ANGLING EXTRAORDINARY.--ODE day last week,
as Mr John Roberts, butcher, of this city, was angling,
about two miles up the river Eden, with a single hand
rod, fourteen feet long, and No. 5, fly-hooks, his bait
was taken by a splendid salmon, which gave some ex-
cellent play. After an hour's manoeuvring, this first-
rate angler succeeded in landing his beautiful prize,
which, on being weighed, pulled 20i pounds.—Carlisle
Patriot.
DEATH OF SIR HENRY RYCROFT, BART.—Sir
Henry Rycroft, Bart., Knight Harbinger to the Queen,
expired on the 3d instant at Brighton, in his 81st year.
He was the second son of the Rev. Sir R. Rycroft, first
baronet, by the daughter of the Rev. R. Stonehewer,
LL.D., rector of Houghton-le-Spring, Durham. In 1816
the deceased was appointed Knight Harbinger to the
Queen, receiving at the time the honour of Knighthood.
The residence of the deceased was at Bolney, Sussex, in
which county the family have resided many years.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT WITH A GUN.-011 Tuesday,
an accident, of a very distressing character, occurred to
Mr. George Evans, a linendraper in Tottenham Court-
road, whilst returning from a shooting excursion near
Rochester. He had been to a place called Ho, near
Rochester with a friend, where the had been spending
the day shooting, and whilst stepping into a boat for the
purpose of returning home, the gun, which was impru-
dently left loaded and cocked, exploded, discharging the
contents into his right arm, which was entirely shattered.
He was immediately carried ashore to the nearest sur-
geon's, where the wounds were temporarily dressed, but
such was the nature of the injury, that it was deemed
necessary to remove him to Guy's Hospital. The limb
is in such a shattered state, that it is feared the arm must
be amputated.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A FEMALE AT LONDON-
BEIDGE.—On Tuesday afternoon, an elderly, respectably-
dressed individual, who afterwards gave her name and
address as Elizabeth Brett, 10, Crown-court, Westmin-
ster, jumped into the river off the London-bridge Steam-
boat Pier, whilst apparently waiting the arrival of a
steamer. The assistance of boat and waterman was very
speedily obtained, but before she couid be reached the
steersman of a below-bridge steam-tug, called the Rover,
threw out a hook attached to a rope, by means of which
he caught hold of her dress, and hauled her on board, ap-
parently dead, but by the means of the usually applied
restoratives she ultimately recovered.

MARKET NEWS—(YESTERDAY,)
CORN EXCHANGE
A full average supply of English Wheat has reached us since
Monday, yet the stands were by no means heavily filled
with samples. Selected parcels moved off steadily, at full
prices, hut other kinds were a slow inquiry, at late rates.
The quantity of free foreign Wheat was comparatively small.
Holders were very firm, and would not sell except at extreme
prices. In Corn under lock very little was doing. 'We had
a fair inquiry for Barley, and the quotations were well sup-
ported. Malt, ready for delivery, sold steadily, at previous
rates. There was a good demand for Oats, at Monday's im-
proved currencies. Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite as dear.

stated that she was
-Mrs. Sarah Pincher, of No. 5, Cottage-place, Chelsea,
proceeding from Chelsea to Earl's-
court, Brompton, about nine o'clock on the previous
evening, and when near Cromwell-lane, defendant Cooper
came up and took hold of her in a very improper man-
ner. He thea tore her bonnet off and knocked her down
with such violence that she was shinned. Her husband,
who was only
a few yards behind her at the time, came
to her assistance, when defendant attacked him, and
Osborne struck her.
Joseph Pincher, her husband, said that he was walk-
ing a few paces behind his wife when the two defend-
ants, another man, and a boy suddenly stopped him near
Cromwell
-lane, and Osborne asked him to give him a
shilling. Witness refused, when Osborne placed himself
before him on the footpath, in a menacing attitude, and
declared that be would have half-a-crown. As witness
thought that Osborne was about to knock him down, he
immediately struck him in his own defence, when he was
attacked by the whole party. On a sudden he found
Cooper beating his wife, and saw him knock her down,
and kick her whilst on the ground. The police came up,
and defendant ran away, but
was pursued and captured.
When they first accosted witness he thought it was a
joke, until Osborne insisted upon having half- a•crown,
and was proceeding to use force.
Two constables preyed that they found Osborne with

FATAL LEAP.—Tuesday an inquest was held by
Mr. Bedford, at the Plough, Carey-street, on the body
of William Whitehead, aged 26. Deceased was in the
employnn-nt, as warehouseman, of Mr. Wilton, book-
binder, Bream's-buildings, Chancery-lane. On Monday,
the 28th ult., the deceased attempted to leap over a half-
door in the warehouse, when his foot catching, he was
thrown on his head on the floor, receiving such jnjuries
as to cause his death on Friday last. Verdict.—" Acci-
antal death." _ _ _

PROMENADE CONCERTS.—M. Jullien's campaign at
Covent Garden Theatre will begin on Monday, Octo-
ber 26, but cannot on any account be prolonged beyond
the first week in December, as the architect charged
with the task of entirely rebuilding the interior of the
theatre, must commence his labours, to be ready for
the season of the new Italian Opera. Mr. Alleroft's
concerts at the. Lyceum will begin on the 16th of
Noyomber.
