DEATH OF SIR CHARLES WOLSELEY, BART.—This
venerable Baronet expired on the 3d instant, at his se.t
Wolseley Hall, Staftbrdshire, aged 78. He was the head
of one of our oldest Saxon families, and during his long
career had ever been the champion of the people and
stanch advocate of civil and religious liberty and pro-
gress. His political connexion with Birmingham, and
his consequent prosecution by the Government of th.it
(lay are still familiar. As a landlord, he was much be-
loved and respected. His title and estates devolve on his
only son, the present Sir Charles Wo.seley, who married
the daughter and co-heiress or the late Nicholas Selby,
Es.q., of Acton House and Biddlestone. The worthy
Baronet also leaves two daughters, the eldest married to
the Marquis de Lousada de San Miuiato, and the
youngest to MarinacJulie Salvio, Esq., Burn Hall,
Durham.

THE ITOM2EOPATIIIC TREATMENT.—An inquest
was held on Saturday., at the Weaver's Arms, John's-
row, Goswell-street, on the lody. of Mary Hopkins,
aged G 4, the wife of a sawyer, living at No. 7, Hull-
street, v 4 ho was alleged to have died from strangulated
hernia, owing to improper treatment on the homoeopathic
apteen. It appeared that Mr. If. P. Ree, the parish
surgeon, had attended and prescribed for the deceased,
but that his medicines had been neglected, and Mr.
Millard, a homeeopathic doctor, had administered to
the deceased a portion of a white powder in water. Mr.
Ree had intended to perform an operation. Mr. Farrant,
a surgeon, made a post marten:, examination, and said he
considered the conduct pursued by Mr. Millard highly
improper. Mr. Ree had ceased to become responsible,
or to act further, when his advice was interfered with.
Verdict, " Natural death from strangulated hernia."
SERIOUS ACCIDENT BY MACHINERY.—On Satur-
day, between five and six o'clock, the following frightful
occurrence happened at Mr. W. 11. Cox's, printer, of
No. 5, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. It ap-
pears that at the period alluded to George Heinson, a
young man about twenty-three, in the employment of
Mr. Cox, was engaged at work in the printing room,
and in taking off the block of the inner cylinder he en
deavoured to lay hold of the bar, when his hand got
jammed in the machinery, and, but for timely assist-
ance afforded, the most appalling cons( epiences '
must have ensued. The poor fellow, when extricated,
was taken to King's College Hospital, and placed under
the charge of Mr. Smith, the house-surgeon, who con-
sidered that amputation must be resorted to.
MILDNESS OF THE SEASON.--We have this week
seen in the garden of Captain H. L. E Gwynne, Pont-
garreg Cottage, a beautiful crop of green peas in full
bearing. This and many other instances testify the
mildness of the present season.—Carmarthen Journal.
REDUCTION OF FARES ON THE LANCASTER LINE.
—The reduction of the railway fares between Preston
and Lancaster, is at last accomplished. The charges
are now—first-class, 45.; second, 2s. Gd.; third-class,
Is. Bd. The public are indebted for this reduction to
the new competition of the Lancaster and Carlisle Rail-
way Company, who have obtained the power of travel-
ling over the Lancaster and Preston Railway. This
company have adopt, d at the onset a moderate scale of
fares, which the old Lancaster and Preston Companyr,
in self-defence, have been compelled to imitate. We
have now thirteen trains a day from Preston to Lan-
caster, and vice versa, instead of seven, as formerly, and
the rare spectacle of two opposition companies on the
same line.—Liverpool
TILE MARQUIS OF ORMONDE.--We understand
that this excellent nobleman has, through his agent,
Henry Lloyd, EN , issued directions for
upon the rental of his tenantry for the
present year, a reduction
pre
consequence of the failure of the potato crop.—Kilk; in
nny
