CLERKE?iWELL IMPROVEMENTS.—The street to
Clerkenwell-green, in continuation of the new street
from Farringdon-street, will shortly be completed under
the Act obtained in the late session (11 and 12 Victoria,
cap. 162—local). It seems that difficulties have arisen
in raising sufficient money for the completion of the
street, the security offered being deemed insufficient.
The sum of 25,0001. advanced by the Treasury has been
expended, as also 27,0001. borrowed on mortgage. It is
now provided that money may be raised by the sale of
the property to be completed, and the existing mort-
gages paid off, so that the subscriptions to be raised
for the purpose do not exceed 20,000/. If the Commis-
sioners of Woods and Forests, or the City of London,
should carry the improvements into effect, the powers of
the Act are to be transferred to them. Under this new
Act, which has recently been granted, the street is ex-
pected in a short time to be completed.
TUB CHOLERA.—A notification was received yes-
terday in town from Edinburgh, announcing the appear-
ance there of malignant cholera in five cases, three in
one part of the city, and two in another. Three of the
cases had proved fatal within twenty-four hours. The
College of Surgeons had advised the immediate forma-
tion of a local Board of Health. Dr. Sutherland, who
had been investigating two cases of cholera occurring at
Sunderland on board a vessel from Hamburgb, had, on
Thursday, been directed by the General Board of Health
to proceed to Edinburgh and take steps in aid of the
organization of a local Board of Health, and measures
of prevention or alleviation. _ _

FATAL OCCURRENCE.—A melancholy casualty oc-
curred at Kidblethmont House last week. On Wednes-
day evening, a young man of the name of Gray, one of
the grooms, while daffin' with a fellow female servant,
who was engaged sewing at the moment, seized her un-
expectedly by her left arm, which was inflamed, and
ther' upon she instinctively thrust him off with the other,
in the hand of which were a pair of sharp-pointed
scissors, which unfortunately perforated his breast, and
reaching a vital part, caused his death on Saturday.
The young man, with his dying breath, acquitted the
girl of all blame; but she is in a dreadful state of mental
suffering.—Edinburgh Courant.

SALE OF A WIFE.—A young man of Edmia-
atowe, named Freeman, having resolvd to withdraw
himself from the Eden of wedlock, brought his wife to
Mansfield market, and offered her for sale. In the
midst of the corn-market, close to the Town-hall, the
fellow with his unloved and unloving spouse took up his
position to carry his resolution into effect. There she
stood, a comely country-looking girl, of some eighteen
years or so, with her waist engirdled by a new halter,
bought expressly for the occasion. The husband, at-
tired in the habiliments:of an agricultural labourer, an-
nounced his intention, and speedily disposed of his 6. ange.
love," halter included, for the astounding sum of ls. 6d.
The purchaser disposed of the halter for 3d., and thus
eventually obtained the precious allotment for ls. 3dl
After the sale Freeman demanded of the woman the
wedding-ring he supposed her to have on her finger.
The wily woman, having surmised that such a circum-
stance might probably occur, had provided herself with
a penny brass ring, which she presented to him instead
of the gold one, and which the unblushing salesman,
with much apparent complacency, deposited carefully in
his pocket. Nature having infused no large amount of
bashfulness into their composition, there was no diffi-
dence displayed on either side, nor were the parties in
the least disconcerted by the laughs and jeers of the
crowd of idlers that witnessed the novel spectacle.—
