DEATH OF SIRE. 11. LECIIMEEE, BART.—We ( War-
cc's, ershire Chronicle) regret to have to record the death
of 'Sir Edmund ilungrford Lechmete, the head of the
eminent firm of Berwick, Lechmere, and Co., bankers,
of this city, Tewesbury, and Upton, which occurred on
Wednesday last, from a termination of gout to a vital
part. The deceased baronet was in good health up to a
few hours previous to the fatal seizure, and on the day
before his death was attending to business in Worcester
as usual.

SUlClDES.—Yesterday morning a respectable-looking
man was found with his throat cut, in the water-closet
of the Feathers public-house, Ranelagh-road,
He had about ten minutes before called for some porter
at the bar, and having left, and remained absent some
time, a person was sent to lock for him. He was taken
to the Westminster Hospital, but died soon after his
admission. Deceased appeared to be about 45 years of
nge, but there was nothing to lead to his identification.
—A. woman named Mary Regan, aged 50, residing in
Prince's street, Drury-lane, also committed suicide yes-
terday by cutting her throat. She was of intemperate
habits, and had been drinking for the last fortnight.
Upon examination it was found that she had a knife
fu
each hand, and cut her throat downwards and horizon-
tally, in the form of a cross. She died soon after her
removal to King's College Hospital.
GREAT EDUCATIONAL MEETING AT TIALIyAX.-011
Wednesday evening a densely-crowded meeting wiser*.
bled in the Oddfellows' Hall, Halifax, convened by the
Mayor, on a requisition signed by upwards of 200 inha-
bitants, to "petition Parliament in favour of a general
measure of national education, which shall be subject to
local management, and supported by local taxation, and
which, at the same time, 8,11, all not impede voluntary
efforts in the like direction. Mr. Edward Akroyd, in
a vigorous and earnest speech, moved the adoption of
the petition, and was supported by Mr. Abbott and Mr.
J. Stores Smith. The Rev. W Walters moved an
amendment, deprecating all Governmental interference,
which was supported by Alderman Crossley, &c. Tue
amendment, on a division, was lost by a small majority,
and the petition was then adopted, amid loud cheers.
MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The last addit'ou
to the war group has been a portrait model of the pre-
sent King of Prussia. His Majesty is represented in
the uniform of a general, consitting of a dark blue
tunic, with red facings and silver lace epaulettes, &c.
This group is certainly one of the most interesting ob-
jects in the exhibition, representing, as it does, *lost of
the chief monarchs and other great personages interested
in the passing events of the day.
