LADY HESTER STANHOPE.—AII who have perused
the memoirs of this remarkable individual, will be glad to
learn that three new volumes have just been published, com-
prising the narrative of her travels. The work is intended
(says the prospectus) to complete the Memoirs of Lady
llester Stanhope. As the " Memoirs " embraced a period of
about 15 years, in which were traced the causes which led
to the " decline and fall " of her Ladyship's somewhat
visionary Empire in the East, the Travels take up her his'
tory from the time she quitted England, and by a faithful
narrative of her extraordinary adventnres, show the rise alid,
growth of her Oriental greatness. A distinct line may et
once be drawn between this and all other books of travels to
the East—for it boasts of a heroine who marches at the head
of Arab tribes through the Syrian Desert—who calls Gover-
nors of Cities to her aid, while she excavates the earth is
search of hidden treasures—who sends Generals with their
troops to carry fire and sword into the feat ful passes of a
mountainous country to avenge the death of a murdered tra-
veller—and who then goes defenceless and unprotected to sit
down a sojourner in the midst of them.

HOLLOWAY'S PILLS AND OINTMENT.—The foreman of the large
paper mill near Armagh (the property of Mr. Gwynn), from ex;
cessive confinement and being empl.iyed so much on his feet, had
one leg 5w....11en to such an extent as ultimately to break into ulcers,
from which he suffered so severely as to incapacitate him from at-
tending to his duties. It was a desperate case ; but this, like many
of the same nature, was quickly healed by using these powerful re-
medies. All wounds, abscesses, contracted, and stiff joints, as lite-
wise white swellings, tumours, or other unnatural enlargements, are
readily cured by the use of Holloway's Pills and Ointment. —Sol I bf

LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-HOITSE KEEPERS' AS'''
soctinos.—This charitable association for the relief of
reduced coffee and eating-house keepers, their wives and fll'
►milies, celebrated its ninth anniversary on Tuesday, by s
dinner at the Freemasons' Tavern. Between two and three
hundred persons sat down to dinner. The chair was taken
by General Sir de Lacy Evans, M.P. Immediately on the
cloth being removed, and after the usual loyal toasts, the
Chairman proposed ‘‘ the health and prosperity of the Londot!
Coffee and Eating-house Keepers' Association," in a 01°11
and appropriate tip tech expressive of its benefits, stating'
that the whole body of coffee and eating-house keepers 10
the metropolis amounted to about 2,000; of these one thou-
sand were members of the association, but, he regretted to
say, that. only 250 were annual subscribers. The society
had, however, from its commencement been steadily progress-
ing. The toast was received with the utmost enthusiasms'
and drunk with three times, three. Other toasts, including
the health of the chairman, were given in the course of th
evening. Some excellent comic and other singing contr
buted to the general hilarity.
A DAGUERREOTYPED ECLIPSE.---During the solar
eclipse of Saturday last, Mr. Cherry, the daguerreotype artist,
planted his apparatus, by way cf experiment, before the partially ot
soured luminary, when a rather singular phenomenon presented itself
as the result. Two suns, each undergoing an eclipse, were pro•
duce,' at the same time, by the myst'c lens on the metallic plate,
with this remarkable difference, however, between the two, that the
one showed an opaque, the other a luminous surface; the former
being encircled by silvery clouds, the Litter standing out like a ra-
diant speck on the ethereal vault. What may be the explanation of
this beautiful prodigy, the joint production of art and nature, we are
unable to conjecture.—Belfast Banner.
MELANCHOLY CASE.—On Monday evening about nine
o'clock, a man rung the bell at the door of Mr. Probyn, of Love!
Belgrave street, and on its being opened by the servant, she was Id'
that her mother had died very suddenly. The announcement had
such an effect on the poor girl's mind, that she ran up stairs, and was
heard to exclaim, that " She would soom be with her mother."
mediately a loud crash was heard in the areaef the house, into which
she had thrown herself from the attic window. Mr. Griffith was
sent for, and was on the spot in an instant, when he found site had
fractured her arm and her leg, and met with other injuries. Site wav
perfectly sensible, and was conveyed to St. George's Hospital.

SUSPECTED INFANTICIDE.—On Tuesday in Ore se
about nine o'clock, the family of J. Rolfe, Esq., of Dralcot-house,,
Ship-lane, St. Mary's-square, Lambeth, was thrown into a stat.*
great excitement in consequence of the body of a new-horn
being found in the garden by one of the female servants. It
tied up In a piece of merino, and appeared to have been born be'_,
few hours only. The body was that of a full-sized infant, and
no doubt been born alive. It was conveyed to Mr. Wagstaff, 1,_1;;;
surgeon, but he could not give any opinion as to the cause of de;t.'.,
without a post mortem examination. Dunn, the beadle of the
trict, immediately took charge of the body, and removed it In.
shell to the dead-room at Lambeth Church, where it awaits the in-
quest.
