WTI OF LONDON TIMATAE.

The brilliant engagement of Air. and Miss Vandenhoff
closes ~n Saturday next, when we are to bare a faith-
ful copy of "Dyed," the management having dev-ted
a considerable period to the perfec ion of this great
drama. The various incidents have ki,en heightened by
Mr. Nelson Lee. To render full justice to thi
admirable work, new scenery throughout will form
a principal feature, giving the dismal swamp in
all its tearful reality, the death of the slave by
the dog, and death of the dog, will be fully
carried nut in strict accordance with the intention of
the talented authoress. " Giraldi" will follow this
production on Monday night, and we understand that
" Belpheor" wi 1 be produced in a superior style on
the 'Alooday following. A visit to the City will be
attended with great gratification.

It is generally understood that the Attorney-General,
Sir A. Cockburn, has accepted the Chief-lusticeship of

AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM P,tODUCEAARKETS.-

The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam :IA Rotter-
dam produce-markets state that business v,as rather
more animated, and that prices continue to be well
supported. In coffer the operations had increased, aiA
quotations exhibited greater firmness. For sugar, raw
and refined, their) wa4 a better demand, rates in some
ca-es sh 'wing a tendency to imi.rove.ment. Indigo was
well maintained at la,e, prices. The le term from Rotten
mention that the market for manufactures was dull, the
attendance of buyers having diminished.
DaATH OF SIR E. S Gooch, BART.—It is with regret
that we have to record the death of Sir Edward Sherlock
Gooch, Bsrt. The lamented baronet expired at his
residence, Benacre Hall, in this county, on Sunday last.
The_ baronetcy of the Gooch family was instituted

in 1746, and the late baronet suce-esied to the title en
the death of his father in 1851. His first wife was a
daughter of the late Lord Rendlesham, by whom he had
one daughter, who is now married to the Rev. S. Otis-
sold, of Wrentham, in this county. The hon. baronet,
in his second neion, married a member of tee Hope
family. He leaves one son, 14 years of age (who is now
at Eton, and who ueceode to the title), and seven
daughters. Tne deceased baronet for the last ten years
had been a representative of the Conservative interest for
the eastern division of the county of Suffolk. In 1851
Sir E I ward was installed Provincial Grand Master of
the most ancient and honourable Orler of Freemasons,
which office he held to the tine, of his death. The bon.
baronet was most deservedly respected by all who knew
him, and his numerous acts of charity to those around
him who stood in mei of his assistance will be long and
gratefully remembered. Various rumours respecting
the vacancy in the representation of East Suffolk have
reached us, but at present we are unable to announce
anything definite on the subject. Express.
PRACTICAL JOKES MUST BE PAID FOR. —At the Cocker-
mouth County Court, last month, Thomas Hewitson
sued a farmer named Allison, living at Dovenby, for
71. 103. damages sustained from a practical joke. On the
16th of August the plaintiff, on his return from Aspatria
fair, called on Mrs. Stagg, a lady occupying a farm near
Dovenbe, and went into the kitchen, leaving the horse
and cart at the door. While there he heard the vehicle
moving, and on going out saw some person driving it.,
away. He immediately left the house, and on reaching
Tallentire he found the cart outside of a public-house
kept by Jeremiah Tinnion. He inquired who brought
it there, but Tinnion declined to satisfy him. Tee plaintiff
then refused to take away the mare until be was ac-
quainted with the pereen who had played him the trick.
Phi mare remained with Tinnion 24 days, and the
plaintiff paid to him Si. for her keep during that time,
and to recover which, and 2/. 10e. for the loss of the
services of the mare, he now sued the defendant. After
hearing the evidence at full length, the jury gave the
plaintiff a- verdict for the full amount.
Tut: MURDER IN PARLIAIIENT tsrcEsr.---41. few hours
before the unfortunate man Cope died he became per-
fectly conscious, and aware that his end was drawing
near. He conversed as well as he was able with those
around his bed. In alluding to the murderous attack
which deprived him of life, he said he << hoped that the
murderer might he furgivou, as he himself hoped to be
forgiven," and shortly afterwards breathed his last. Since
his death _a_eastelits;emexacniaation,of
_the body has
been made. This was effireted yesterday under the in-
epectien of Mr. Barnard Holt, of Parliament street, the
surgeen of the Westminster liospttaL who has had the
deceased ender his care since the Commencement, and
whe perferined the operation of t.rep using. Now that
the scalp has been reruovsd, the skull has been found to
be extensively fractured in two other places, the frac-
tures branching off from; the original wound in different
directions. 'flee injuries' have 'seen ascertained to be of
the most serious rtatu e, causing • surprise that he-ever
survived the attack one hour.

before Mr. Waltley, who always makes application to
the Secretary of State upon such occasions. The in-

—We had wene smart showers of snow this morning,
and the distant Cheviots have put on their winter cover-
ing. The wind howls about the windows to-night, and
a heavy sea rolls across the bar of the Tyne, and every-
thing has a cold November appearance. We haul tot, -
