JOHN BRAND, Secretary.

The late Lord PALMERSTON died, of what .the
Faculty term an ossified throat ; in consequence of
which, his Lordship must inevitably have been
starved to death for want of nourishment, had he
not had so speedy a dissolution.

On Thursday night Mr. BISHOP, an Attorney's
Clerk,.many years known in the neighbourhood of
Fleet street, took a large quantity of laudanum,
which occasioned his death. He had been drinking
in the early part of the evening, but returned to his
lodgings in Dorset-street, at ten o'clock, and desired
the servant to bring him a glass of brandy and water,
and not to call him till next day at noon. This
request causing some suspicion, it induced her to
listen at his room door about an hour afterwards,
when she heard a noise, and her master, on entering
the room, found the unfortunate man in bed, un-
dressed, but in such a state of stupefalion, as not.
to be able to
..speak. A Medical Gentleman was
sent for, but could afford him no relief, and having
ilngered until eight o'clock next morning, he ex-
pit ed.

The Prison of Bazas, in France, contains a wo.
man of the Commune of St. Leger, accused of hav-
ing strangled her daughter of nine or ten years of
age, and of having exposed her in that state to
wild beasts, which had devoured:a part of her body.

A medical Gentleman informs us of the follow-
ing efficacious method of driving away rats :—Take
the expressed juice bf the stalk or leaves of the dead-
ly night shade, and make it into a soft paste with
oatmeal or wheat flour, place it in the holes or tracks
which the rats frequent, and though they will not
cat it, yet it is so disagreeable to them, that they
will instantly leave the premises.
On Thursday night last, about nine o'clock, as
a Gentleman who resides in the City, was coming
from Walworth, he was attacked in Lock's Fields
by four footpads, who with horrid imprecations de-
manded his money. - The• Gentleman immediately
surrendered his watch and two guineas ; but the
villains, not contented with their plunder, just as
they were on the point of leaving the Gentleman,
discharged a pistol, the contents of which unfor-
tunately lodged in the back part of his head, and he
now lies dangerously ill. The villains, we are
sorry to hear, escaped.
The Kent Road, from the Elephant and Castle to
Greenwich, is said to he infested with a daring
bandit-ti, who not only commit. depredations on pas-
sengers, but watch opportunities of committing
burglaries in daytime.
•
Thursday afternoon a poor woman, whose occu-
pation was that of selling curds and whey, opposite
a court near Water-lane, Fleet-Street, was beaten
down .by a waggon passing by, in which the driver
was riding ; her legs were broken, and her head so
badly wounded, that she was taken to the' hospital
in great danger. The unfeeling waggoner drove
rapidly on,- but being pursued, was taken into cus-
tody. It is hoped his punishment will be ex.
emplary. ,
On Sunday last, a young man, who calls himself
Capt. Stooker, was apprehended at lErminghain,
for offering a forged Shrewsbury Bank Note. The
crime was committed at Denbigh, and though lie
was on foot, and pursued within sight by upwards
of fifty people,_ he got safe to the place where he
was taken, being a distance of near•So
