the weather somewhat unfavourable .to slaughtering, the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at barely the late
decline in the quotations. There were in the market 500
foreign Beasts, 1,570 ditto Sheep, and 48 Lambs, in full
average condition. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet
the Mutton trade was rather dull, at Monday's prices. Lambs
were in short supply, and heavy inquiry, at late rates. In

DISTRESSING SUICIDE.--A Coroner's inquest was
held on Wednesday night, before Mr. Mills, on the body
of Mr. Allen, aged twenty-five, an architect and artist,
who resided with his mother, in Hunter-street, Bruns-
wick-square, in whose house the inquest took place. It
appeared that Mr. Allen had exhibited great depression
of spirits since the death of his sister, about six months
since, and that on Sunday last he went to see the tomb-
stone that was about to be placed over her grave. On
Tuesday afternoon he shut himself in his room, and
discharged a pistol into his mouth. He was found dead
by the servant who went to call him to dinner. The
'verdict of the jury was, " That the deceased destroyed
himself, but in what state of mind he was in at the time
be committed the act there is not sufficient evidence to
show,"
Yesterday afternoon a bricklayer's labourer, named
O'Moye, whilst with a hod of bricks, ascending a ladder
placed against the house of Mr. Weston, No. 40, Bishops-
gate-street Without, one of the steps broke, and
the
poor fellow was thrown with frightful violence to the
ground. His skull was dangerously faactured.
EMPLOYMENT ON RAILROADS.---It is that there are 200,000 navigators employed oncomputed railroads.
WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY FOR THE EN-
COURAGEMENT OF AGRICULTURE, &c.—A meeting of
this society, the parent of all the agricultural societies
in Englan'A, was held on Wednesday last. It com-
menced with a ploughing match, and ended witk a dinner
at the Gloucester Hotel, Hotwells, Clifton, near Bristol,
when the chair was taken byW. Miles, Esq., M.P.
After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, the
chairman proposed the health of the president of the
society, the Marquis of Lansdowne, and in doing so ex-
pressed his regret that a prize offered by that nobleman,
for the best drained farm, had not been competed for,
notwithstanding the farmers in the several counties of
Gloucester, Wilts, and Somerset were eligible. He re-
gretted it the more, because he was convinced that unless
they drained and availed themselves of all the means
now offered by science they would find it impossible
to compete with other countries—(Hear, hear)—and he
knew, and they all must be well aware, that there was
ample room for improvement in the system of cultiva-
tion pursued, both in that and the neighbouring counties.
The remainder of this and the other speeches possessed
only a local interest.

evening this very handsome Gothic edifice was re-

by Holflich. A full choral service was performed.
13a.osirToN Nivr nosriTAL.—Yesterday evening
the usual meeting of the committee of management took
place at the board room in the new building at Bromp-
ton. It appears that everything is progressing in the
most satisfactory manner ; the furnishing of the various
spacious wards is being pushed forward, and the system
of ventilation adopted from the designs of Dr. Arnott,
although elaborate and intricate, will unquestionably be
Most effective.
OPENING OF THE MEDICAL SCHOOLS.—Yesterday
being the first day of October, several of the medical
:schools of the metropolis commenced the business of the
session. Introductory lectures were delivered in the
course of the day at Guy's hospital, by Dr. Golding
Bird; at St. George's, b
Thomas's, b y Sir Benjamin Brodie; at St.
Dr. Murphy y Dr. Barker; at University College, by
; and at the Theatre of Anatomy and Medi-
cine, Grosvenor-place, by Dr. Theophilus Thompson.
DISCOVERY OF HUMAN BONES.—Yesterday a
human skull, together with various portions of several
others, and a number of thigh bones and other smaller
ones, were found amongst some rubbish in front of a
house in Edward-street, Barnsbury-road, Islington, at
present in course of erection. The circumstance occa-
sioned much speculation in the neighbourhood, and it is
imagined that as the street is little frequented, persons
employed to remove the bones from some of the burying
places in the metropolis have dropped them there in

THE GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES, 1647.
This interesting stake, which made such a brilliant first
appearance this year, and to which 3001. was so li-
berally added by the inhabitants of this metropolis, has
undergone some alterations and improvements at the
hands of the authorities. The Stake is for the future to be 25,
15 forfeit, and five if declared, and 100 for the second horse,
and 50 for the third; the course to be lengthened to nearly
two miles and a quarter :—To start at the winning chair,
turning out at Tattenham Corner, and back, similar to the
Goodwood Cup Course, and in sight the whole way. We
hear the necessary alterations to the course are nearly com-
plete. The amount of the bonus for 1847 is not yet ascer-
tained, but we understand that there is already a consider-
able sum promised, or collected ; and, from the activity and
energy of the parties who have the matter in hand, we fancy
the bonus for 1847 must be very great.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
(PROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
A melancholy accident, by which a young gentleman,
of the most amiable disposition and the highest promise,
was brought to an untimely end, and a much respected
family have been plunged into the deepest affliction,
occurred on Friday, the 25th ult., in the neighbourhood
of Couchford, in the county of Cork.
About four o'clock in the evening of that day, Mr.
William Hallaren, the eldest son of the Rev. William
Hallaren, rector of Magonney, in the county of Cork,
accompanied by his younger brother, Master Thomas
Hallaren, and his cousin, Mr. John Martin, of Upper
Mount-street, Dublin, went out in pursuit of soma plover
that had been in an adjoining field. About five o'clock
Mr. Martin was drawing the charge from his gun, Mr.
Hallaren standing close to him, with the butt of his gun
resting on the ground, and the muzzle turned upwards ;
when a dog by which they were accompanied unfortu-
nately jumped ou him, and it is supposed touched the
spring of his gun, which instantly exploded, and the un-
fortunate young gentleman received the entire charge in
his lungs. He ran a few yards and then fell upon his
face. He was immediately convoyed to a neigh-
bouring cottage, and his father, who was
speedily informed of the lamentable event, was
with him in a few minutes. He retained full possession
of his senses for more than two hours, and during that
period exhibited the most perfect resignation to his fate
—the most implicit trust and confidence in the atone-
ment by our blessed Saviour. He suffered very little
(and to use the words of a spectator, his last moments
were like those of an infant going to sleep). Such
patience and fortitude must go far to sustain his parents
under the weighty affliction by which they have been
visited.

Mr. ilallaren was a remarkably fine young man, in
the nineteenth year of his age. He was to have left his
home in a few days, for the purpose of attending the
examination in the University of Dublin, of which he
was a student. Few could have been in possession of
greater health or strength than he was, or afford a
greater promise of a prolonged existence un he did a
few short hours before. He was thus cut off in the
pride and bloom of youth. It affords a melancholy ex-
ample of the instability of this life.

A man of herculean powers, named Paul, has been
exhibiting feats of strength at the Theatre des Varitt4s,
at Nantes. On Sunday last, according to the Courrier
de Nantes, he performed one that no person can well
believe who were not eye witnesses. Being laid on his
back, he formed with his feet and hands a species of
frame or carriage, on which was laid a cannon weighing
1,2121b5. French, 1,30811b5. English, and in this position
sustained, it for 53 minutes, during which it was fired off,
without causing Paul to make the slightest movement.
MORTALITY or THE METROPOLIS.—The number of
deaths re gistered in the metropolis during the week end-
ing Saturday, September 26, was 808. Of these, 792
were de.itbs from disease, showing a decrease in the
number of deaths from disease, as compared with the
week precseding, of 94. There were 7 deaths from
cholera, 3 from dysentery, and 52 from diarrhoea. The
number oil,' bixthe during the week was 1,280.
