spot on the previous evening ( Wednesday) a chimney be-
longing to a house at the corner of White Hart-court took
fire, and from this circumstance it might have happened that
a spark Pont the chimney fell among the timber in the yard
of Mr. Jaques, where the fire originated.

to light the recent deAlis by poisoning at ilappisbeux, for examines,
Lion. We have been since intormed that the presence of arsenic has
been detected in the corpse, and the further examination and analysis
wilt h is now going on will probably ascertain the quantity and its
effect. No doubt when the necessary tests are completed, and the
evidence in a more perfect state, the city coroner will reopen the in-
quiry into the cause of death. At present the case Is involved in
complete mystery.
SEVEItE THUNDER-STORM IN KENT.—On Tuesday
afternoon a most severe thunder-storm passed over Erith, North-
' end, Crayford, and Bexley, accompanied by much lightning and
very heavy rain, which continued all night and throughout yester-
day (Wednesday) at intervals. Some damage Is done, but as far as
can be learned no lives are lost.
WOOLWICH Docs.yettro.—The directors of the Great
Western Railway have given Mr. Wyatt, the sculptor, the use of
four large wheels, ten feet in diameter each. for conveying the status
of the Duke of Wellington from his establishment to its destined site.
the wheels have been taken to the dockyard to have brass bushes
made for the axles to revolve in, and to turn off the projecting part
for guiding them on the railway. Tyers of ten inches broad are then
to be attached by rivets, to present a broad surface to the ground,
and massive iron axles will support the carriage with the great
weight of the statue.

WANTON CMJELTY.—A few days since, some wall-
clone vilhan unknown cut the tails of two donkeys nearly off, so
that they hung by the skin only. They are the property of a poor
man at Winston, near Debenham.— Bury Post.

may be shortly expected back from India. Like a wise man he
