PALLISER'S PATENT PROTEAN

RUMBLE.

This is one of the neatest and most useful of modern
improvements in the construction of carriages. Hitherto
the rumble of a carriage has been a fixture, and a fix-
ture of the most clumsy and awkward nature, and even
the turn-over seat was not a vast improvement on it.
The Protean Rumble, however, may be entirely de-
tached and folded up into the compass of a footman's
stand in one minute; or, when folded, being laid down
at the back of the carriage, it forms a safe and con-
venient footman's stand; or, being placed erect, and at-
tached to the back of the carriage by springs, it becomes
an opera board, and forms a most effectual protection to
the back panel. When open, it is a rumble in the ordi-
nary sense of the word, forming a strong, comfortable,
and safe seat for two persons. It can be fixed to any
four-wheeled carriage, and detached when necessary, so
that persons keeping more than one carriage can have
one rumble which will fit the whole of them. The
mechanism is exceedingly
simple, and we saw the in-
ventor attach one of them to a carriage as a footman's
board, change it into an opera board, unfold it, and
change it into an ordinary rumble, fold it up again, and
detach it from the carriage, in somewhat less time than
one minute. It is simple, elegant, and useful, and must
be popular.

NEW ENGINE.—We hear that a new engine, on Mr
Crampton's principle, with seven feet driving wheels and
some 1,700 square feet of heating surface, is building for
the narrow gauge by the Messrs. Rennie. Heraputh's

MURDER AND SUICIDE AT THE BRIGHTON WORK-
HOUSE.—BRIGHTON, TUESDAY. This morning a horrid
murder was committed at the workhouse by a woman named
Norman, on her infant, six months old, and just weaned. It
appears that the murderess had lately been subject to pains
in her head, and this morning declined getting up. with the
other women on account of illness. About eight o clock she
asked for her child, which was brought to her in bed, arid
immediately afterwards she ran out of the room with her
throat dreadfully cut. On proceding to her room, it was
found that the child's throat had likewise been cut in a
shocking manner. The murderess died instantly, but the
poor child lingered till four o'clock this afternoon, when it
expired. She was a married woman, and about 30 years of
age. Her husband is a prisoner in Lewes House of Correc-
tion, undergoing a sentence for felony. She had requested
only a short time before that her other two children might
be brought to her, but by a fortunate occurrence they were
not in the way at the time. The inquest will be holden on
the bodies this day.
A NEW M.P.—lt is said that the chairman of the
Seuth-Eastern Railway Company, J. Macgregor, Esq., late
manager of the Commercial Bank in this town, is to go into
Parliament Or i% lieuti§ll bcoligtlorLiverP°9l4"n.
