EADiVE,-uTelEby Holloway's Pills.—Extract of a letter from

uth Wales, to Mr. J. K., agent for Holloway's Pills and
o"intruent, at Sydney, dated Jan. 17, 1849 " Sir,—About
eighteen months since I was attacked with a severe liver com-
plaint, for which I consulted the two medical men of the dis-

they gave me up, without the least hope of recovery. I then
commenced taking Holloway's invaluable Pills, and continued
them for about seven weeks, and I am oovr completely cured.

dearer in Paris than in London. By advices front Ham-
price of gold is 405 per mark, which, at the Eng.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at

between England and America being 109 '23-40 .per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in

LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 24, 1851.

In the House of Lords, last evening;an animated con-
versation, which however led to no result, took piece
between the LORD CHANCELLOR, Lord CAXPBELL, Lord
BEAMIONT, and Lord CRANWORTH, 011 the subject of
the Registration of Assurances Bill.
Earl GREY, in answer to the Duke of RICHMOND,
made the important announcement of the discovery of
guano on the west coast of Australia, on which an export
duty of 2/.lox. per ton had been imposed by the local
Government, but which he had ordered to, be reduced to
1/. per ton.
After a discussion on prison discipline between 43
Bishop of OXFORD and Earl GREY, their Lordships ad-
journed.
In the Commons, the House resolved itself into Com-
mittee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved that the first clause he
postponed midi the House should be in possession of the
rescript or bull of the POPE alluded to in tine clause.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the motion; this
legislation was founded upon the notorious fact that
divers of her MAJESTY'S Roman Catholic subjects had
assumed these

The motion, which rras supported by Mr. ROEBUCK,
Mr. KEOGH, and Mr. REYNOLDS, and opposed by the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. WALPOLE; was negatived
on a division by 221 against 49.
On the first clause,
Sir F. THESIGER moved, instead of the words " the
said brief, &e." to insert the words "all such briefs, &c."
intending to move corresponding amemdments in the
preamble; his object being, be said, to comprehend all
siznil4r rescripts which may have been issued prior to
the Bill within the terms of the declaratory enactment
contained in this clause.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL explained that the Bill was
not intended to revive the statute of prwmunire, but to
be a solemn declaration against this particular act of
violence and aggression on the part of a foreign po-

tentate.
A long discussion ensued, in which the legal construc-
tion and effects of the clause and the amendment were
very fully considered. At the suggestion of Mr. HEN-
LEY, Sir F. TRESIQER consented to defer the motion
until the fate of an amendment in the preamble an-
nounced by Mr. WALPOLE, which had a concurrent ob-
ject, was decided.
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY then moved
another amendment of the first clause, by the insertion
of words expressly exempting from its operation the use
of such jurisdiction or title as shall be necessary for
spiritual purp 3509.
The ATTORNEY•GENEBAL objected to this amendment.
The amendment was supported by Mr. MooRE, Mr.
KEOGH, and Sir H. BARRON, and opposed by Lord
J. HIISSF.LL. On a division it was rejected by 316
against 61.

Mr. SADLEIR moved another amendment, limiting the
operation of the clause to temporal purposes.
This amendment was also rejected, by 317 against 57.
A conversation took place upon a suggestion of Sir
B. HALL, that there should be morning sittings, in order
to relieve public business and get through this Bill, to
which Lord J. RUSSELL objected, intimating, however,
that he relied upin the support of the House if such a
proposition should become absolutely necessary.
The CHAIRMAN was then ordered to report progress;
to sit again on Monday.
Tne remaining orders and motions having been gone
through, the House adjourned at twenty minutes past
One o'clock until Monday.

iioa-ollleeopen tromileven till Four.
Sthge Manager. Mr. T. Thompson.

The soi-disant Archbishop of WESTMINSTER is not
without his friends in Finsbury. Last night the
cudgels were taken up in opposition to the Ministerial
measure by Mr. THOMAS SLINGSBY DMICOMBE,
whose keen sense of propriety forbids him conscien-
tiously to countenance the progress of the first clause
until the "said" brief or rescript referred to in it was
laid upon the table. We congratulate the Irish
Members on the acquisition of such a keen and com-
prehensive a reasoner as the Hon. .Member fur Fins-
bury, although he was unable to overcome the obtuse
obstinacy of 221 representatives of the people, who
coincided with the Learned SOLICITOR. GENERAL that
no necessity existed for producing the brief, it
being matter of perfect notoriety that certain
individuals in this country, being subjects
of the QUEEN, had assumed territorial titles
as archbishops and bishops of the Roman Catholic
Church, and it was against the assumption of such
titles they were legislating. Of course the pious
Gemini, Messrs. KEOGH and REYNOLDS, contributed
their quota of support to their new-caught Metropo-
litan roltigeur, the former repeating the legal argu-
trent with which he had previously crammed Mr.
DUNCOMBE, and the latter enlivening the discussion
with one of those felicitous discourses in which it is
difficult to determine whether polished repartee, acute
logic, or persuasive candour was the most conspicuous.
We trust that the exertions of the Learned Member
for Athlone throughout so many evenings have not
produced the effect of ruffling his equanimity ;
but it hardly comports with the natural
dignity and conspicuous position of the
Irish Brigadier to foam out such terms as he
employed with regard to the SOLICITOR-GENERAL
and the Administration just previous to the division
on Mr. SADLEIR'S amendment. Censidering the high
grounds which he and the Hon. Member for Dublin
have taken ever since the first introduction of the
question of the Papal aggression into the House of

*" Observations on the Derects of the Patent Laws of
thin Country; with Suggestions fur the Reform ut Them."
By W. M. Hindenarch E)ci , Barrister-at-law. Bvo., Pp.
58. Denning and Company, London : 1851.

fatal night arrives on which we look forward to their
dying in a body on the floor of the House, it will be
a consolation to their last moments to repose upon the
recollection of having left no stone unturned to im•
pede the progress of the national business, and to
inspire the British people with a thorough disgust
to themselves and their policy. They may pursue
their harassing tactics, ask the same questions eight
or ten times over, take a division. every hour, talk
against time, and exercise all possible manoeuvres
which may occur to their fruitful brains, but
all will not do. Whether the measure, as at pre-
sent proposed, be or be not rendered more effi-
cacious in its passage through Committee,
they have not the spectre of a chance, and no one
knows it better than themselves, of defeating a statu-
tory enactment against the arrogant and unwarran-
table aggression of the Court of Rome. A gross in-
sult has been offered to the prerogative of the Soya.
REIGN of this Protestant state, an insult openly
avowed and gloried in by the Parisian organ of the
Jesuits, who are the real instigators of the usurpation
exercised in the name of their puppet, the Porx.
"Protestant England," says the Univers, " refuses
the right of the SOVEREIGN PONTIFF to erect episco-
pal sees and to name bishops for the direction of the
British Empire. Is it aware how the Holy See re-
plies to the denial of heresy, to the clamour and
threats of English Protestantism ? Precisely by using
the right and exercising the authority which has
been denied to her." The impertinence of this
manifesto is rich, and we recommend the avowed
assumption on the part of the Papacy of " the direction
of the British Empire" to the consideration of those
representatives who pooh-pooh the vindication of in-
dependence from its trammels. If those gentlemen
are of the same mind as G&LLEO, and " care for none
of these things," we trust there may not be found a
kindred spirit of nonchalance among their consti-
tuents. We ask, with the Hon. and Learned
Member for Midhurst, in his animadversion on the
trashy KEOGH-DUNCOMBE objection in last night's
debate' is the Parliament of England to hold its
hand and suffer itself to be insulted because the Papal
rescript is matter of public notoriety and not of legal
proof ? Are not the Commons of England prepared
to stand by the QUEEN and the nation, whose rights
and freedom are invaded and in jeopardy if they
allow any foreig❑ power of any sort or kind to in-
terfere in any way with their laws, allegiance, or
the internal affairs of the kingdom ?

Everyone at all observant of the progress actually
making in the advancement of science and the deve-
lopment of civilization, is by this time tc•lerably
familiar with the evils cf the existicg patent laws of
England, and the imperative necessity of their amend-
ment. It scarcely remains for anyone to be informed
of the discrepancy existing between the sums re-
quired in this country and in others beyond seas for
the legal protection of any new and valuable inven-
tion. Whereas amongst ourselves an amount very
neerly reaching the extravagant total of four hundred
pounds is extorted from the unfortunate experimen-
talist before he can secure to himself a right of
property in his contrivance for the United
Kingdom, the same advantages can be ob-
tained for less than 10/. sterling in either the
United States, France, Belgium, or Holland. This,
moreover, is accompanied by the monstrous dispro-
portion of the delays impeding the applicant in Great
Britain, while, in the states just enumerated, every
facility would, on the contrary, be placed at his com-
mand by their respective Governments. Amongst
ourselves, the consumption of time, as well as of
capital, inevitable upon all such occasions, is enough
in truth to deter many from adventuring upon a
course so expensive and so procrastinated. It
was from a recognition of this fact that
some of our more energetic reformers
were recently induced to organize an
association for the promotion of these long-desired
amendments, for the agitation of the subject through-
out the country, and for its definitive introduction to
the notice of both Houses of Parliament. The pur-
pose kept in view by the originators of this benevo-
lent scheme commanded from us, it may be remem-
bered, an earnest expression of our sympathy almost
immediately upon its first announcement. Since
then we have sedulously watched the progress made
by its chief promoters, and, from time to time, have
brought the matter through our leading columns
under the reconsideration of the reading and
reflective community. Latterly, we are rejoiced to
observe, that the jnterest taken in the subject referred
to has been very considerably extended throughout the
population, indicating its movement by the more fre-
quent discussion of the injuries actually inflicted by
the laws as they at present stand ; and this variously
by the lecturer, the journalist, and the pamphleteer;
by all those, in fact, who possessed the opportunities
of leisure, or inclination, to bring the evils of the
Patent System under the scrutiny of the multitude.
In their very lucid prospectus the council of the
National Patent Law Amendment Association an-
nounce the precise changes which, according to their
opinion, are absolutely needed in order to render the
required reforms efficient. They insist, for example,
first and foremost upon the necessity of making pro.
tection for inventors, obtainable at little or no cost
ad interim, or provisionally. They maintain that com-
plete protection, or Letters Patent, should be rendered
obtainable at moderate cost, if any such course of
proceeding should be deemed expedient. They demand
a simplified mode of obtaining this Patent or com-
plete protection. They assert that, for the easy refer-
ence of inventors and the public, there shall be formed
an official classified index of all such Patents and
protections. For the purpose of securing the better
judicial protection of patent rights, they suggest the
introduction and use of scientific and practical judg-
ment in a positive form, and without entailing any
supplementary expense whatever upon the litigants,
together with the ulterior appointment of a special
court for patent matter, should such an arrangement
be considered, on inquiry, desirable. Added to all
which, it is proposed by them that eventually some
declaratory statute shall be formed settling what is
really and actually the law relating to patents
and protections. From these particulars it
will be sufficiently evident, we conceive, that
much remains to be effected before the
scientific inventors of the United Kingdom can be
placed in a proper position with regard to their own
individual rights and those of the general population
—in reference, we mean, to the rights of the public
at large to the benefit of every new invention, and to
the rights of its inventor to the enjoyment of the
proceeds flowing in from its use by the community.
Notwithstanding the multiplicity and the magnitude
of the innovations found to be necessary before this
can be in any reasonable manner accom-
plished, it will be perceived that the pro-
moters of the change in the Patent Laws
have until now been energetically and uninterruptedly
prosecuting their enterprise in the evident and ra-
tional conviction that perseverance in a cause so
righteous must ultimately render them triumphant
over every opposition.

Dutch Four per Cents. are at 894.
The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders
have received a letter from Mr. Lord, the agent of the
Venezuelan bondholders, dated " La Guayra, April 25,"
of which the following are extracts:—
"The satisfactory way in which Congress is dealing
with the arrear interest will of course be viewed by the
committee as far preferable, and more advantageous
to the bondholders, than the capitalization and issue
of new bonds for that interest, compensating, as it
will also do, in some degree, for the shameful
misappropriation of funds by the late Adminis-
tration. . . . It affords, perhape, something like a guarantee that the funds will henceforward be faithfully
applied to the object for which they are destined by
law, always supposing that peace and good order will be
preserved. . . On the 14th inst. I gave instructions to
my agent in Caraccas, Senor Jose M. de Royas, to wait
upon the Minister to report to him the request of the
committee, that agents should be appointed in La Guayra
and Porto Cabello to receive and remit to London the
portion ot Customs' duties assigned to the foreign debt.
Owing to the Easter holydays Senor Royas could not
obtain an interview with the Minister until the 22d. For
an account of what passed on the occasion, I beg leave
to refer the committee to the enclosed extract from
Senor Royas's letter, written immediately after the in-
terview. It confirms what I stated to the committee in
my letter of the 22d of March last year, and proves that
on this point the Government is impracticable. . . The present Finance Minister, on taking office .last
month, gave orders to the several collectors of Custom-
houses to remit to the Treasury in Caraceas thence-
forward the entire proceeds of the quarter part of import
duties assigned to public credit. This the Minister
stated to Senor Royal' at a previous interview, adding
that he was determined to re-establish this credit, and
to apply the funds strietly to the purpose to which they
had been assigned,' tolling him to assure me that the
creditors might place entire confidence in this resolu-
tion. It is a repetition of the assurance given by his
predecessor, Senor Heres, in his note of the 13th ult. to
her Majesty's Chargé d'Affaires, of which I sent the
committee a copy in my letter of the 26th.
"The decree for imposing the extraordinary contri-
bution was passed to the Executive on the 23d, and the
probability is, that it is now a law of the Republic.
Senor Gellineau (the Minister) intimated to my agent at
the late interview that he only waited for it to become
law to reply to my late letters, when he would furnish
me with art official copy of the decrees for transmission
to London.
" The ordinary session of Congress (duration 90 days)
expired on the 20th iust., but they have been extended
for an additional 15 days, to complete certain measures
deemed important, the extraordinary contribution:being
one of them."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, ll WO O'COCK. 57U The sales of Cotton at LiverpoolT
yesterday L
were esti-
'? mated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for ex-
port and on speculation. The market was dull, and the
disposition to sell still continued. The Railway Share
market opened heavily, and with a downward tendency,
$ but later in the day there was an improvement, and closed
with a better feeling.
The weekly statement of the Bank of England, made
24
up to the 17th inst., is more satisfactory than any we
have had of late iu respect to the amount of bullion, al-
though there are other items which we are icclined to
watch with equal interest. We desire, for example, to wit-
ness full employment for money, rather than its accumu-
lation. The active circulation fell off; and a larger
amount was added to the unemployed notes, the pubic
deposits from their gradual accumulation enabling the
Bank to draw in its notes without making further sales
of Exchequer-bills. The next return may be expected
to show a further addition to the bullion compared with
936 the former week. The changes in the return before us

THE LATE SUICIDE ON THE LONDON AND NOM 'ala
WesTenie RAlLWAY.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., b eld
an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, St.
Pancras, on James Young, Esq., aged seventy-two, late of
35, Augustus-street, Regent's-park, who, as has been alines idy
stated, committed suicide, by throwing himself under the
train on the London and North-Western Railway. :Mr.
George Harris, the deceased's nephew, stated the decet used,
who was a gentleman of independent fortune, had late
;e rly
suffered much from ill-health, which greatly affected l his
spirits. Sunday morning he appeared more cheerful than
usual; and, after taking some coffee, left home to tal re a
walk. For a few days before Ins death he complain, id of
pain in the head. On Saturday he made his will. He was
the last man whom witness would smpect of suicidal it iten-
tions. Mrs. Emily Norton, residing at Park Villa East,
Regent's-park, was watching from the Victoria-bridge , the
arrival of the Liverpool train on Tuesday, which ree ached
the London station between one and two o'clock, when just
as the train appeared in sight she saw deceased walk from
the right hand side of the railroad towards the rail # on
which the train was runniug. When the train came close
to him, he halted for a moment, then knelt down, anc I en-
veloping his head in his cloak laid it upon the rails. She
was so horrified, that she lost all power of speech. nen
she looked the next moment, the train had passed over the
unfortunate gentleman, having severed the head diago2 sally
from the body, and leaving the mutilated portions se oeral
feet distant from each other. The train, which consist sd of
six or seven carriages, was going at an easy pace down , the
incline plane. Verdict, "Insanity."
TROOPS POE INDIA.—The ship Trent has been

THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CHEB AIRS
JUNCTION RAILWAY.—We understand that the directs, rs of
this line are arranging the claims of the several parties who
seek compensation for the injuries they received at the late
collision. They deem this the most economical procedure, Emit
will save them a very large amount in the shape of law r sofas,.
Some of the larger claims are still unsettled, and it is F lout-
ble that some cases will ultimately be brought to tri
Liverpool Mercury.
Two police-agents, who had been sent from Fr ink-
fort to the Exhibition of London, says the Constituth met,
were, on their arrival in that capital, relieved by some
adroit thieves of all their luggage and papers, am =get
which happened to be the description of seven Is mons
German thieves, whom they had been ordered to see' out
and observe.
THE PROVINCIAL DETECTIVES IN THE METROP.
—There are at present upwards of thirty officers conn acted
with the provincial detective police force in London, a sting
under the direction of the authorities of Scotland- lard. These men, who have been selected for their general in lelli-
gence, and knowleige of the towns from which they r :ome,
are employed as a corps of observation rather than p'
tlice-
officers. A number of them attend daily the Crystal P. daces
and keep a strict watch that none of the visitors mi rq be
eased of their purses or their contents; but even were they
to see a light-fingered gentleman plying his trade, they • can-
not take him into custody. Not having been sworn In to
act as police-officers in the metropolis, their instructior is are
to call the next London officer and point out the ( lelin-
anent, that he may be apprehended. These officers wb a are
not engaged in the Palace visit the termini of the rail ?ways
which communicate with their respective localities, an d see
who arrive by the several trains, reporting the arrival o f any
parties who are known as reputedihieves, Sm. At nigh d the
officers visit the haunts of thieves, a c., with a view of i veer-
taming what number of persons with whose habits and pur.
suits they are acquainted have arrived from the prov
Incas.
Chartist and Socialist meetings are also attended and rep orted
upon. It will be seen that the uuties of the provincial of Beers
are rather of a negative than a positive kind, the I sower
of acting being reserved for the metropolitan force, bet tweets
whom and the provincials anything but amicable fe. slings
exist. The latter dislike to be made the jackals of thi t for-
mer, who will derive all the credit due to their labours t and
knowledge, whilst the London officers feel somewhat p [sped
that parties, whom they call " countrymen," should have been

ST. PANCRAS (MIDDLESEX) PAVING CONSOLIR DA-
Trox.—Yesterday the Committee of the House of Comnsi Dna
upon this Bill proceeded with the consideration of its pre vi-
sions. Mr. Talbot, Q.C., in opening the case for the at ro-
moters, stated that the object of the Bill was to consoli a ,ate
the 17 existing paving and lighting boards in the paris at of
St. Pancras, which now contained a population of 160 1,000,
with an assessible value of 660,0001., into one central b. lard.
The present complicated system caused increase of expi erase;
want of rating uniformly had a tendency to lead to ab uses,
and to cause the burdens of local taxation to fall morehe avily
on the ratepaying population. The Bill is opposed r the
Bedford and other estates, ratepayers of St. Pancras 1 and
Camden Town, and by a variety of other local inte rests.
The only witness as yet examined is Mr. G. W. F. Cook 4 the
vestry clerk of St. Pancras.

Aboutaen o'clockyesterday morning a serious loss of pror arty
by fire took place at the library of Mrs. Mary Ann Id :am-
mitt, 13, Little Warner- street, Clerkenwell. A servant -gir
had occasion to go into a small room on the ground floor.l , be-
tween the shop and sitting-room, and having a lig kited
candle in her hand, a spark is supposed to have It Olen
among the furniture of the room. In a few minutest the
flames spread rapidly, and the destruction of the entire con-
tents must have been the result, but for the timely ar rival
of the Farringdon- street brigade and parish engines, st 'hen,
with great difficulty, the fire was subdued. Several yoh Dues
were among the property consumed. Mrs. Hammitt i s in•
sured in the Sun Fire-office.

BO W-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Mary Ann Macarthy, aged 30, was charged before
Mr. Henry with the wilful murder of Elizabeth Allen,
by beating her upon the head with a poker. The par-
ties, who lived in Turner's court, Befordbury, have been
for some time past at variance. The deceased had, in the
course of last week, caused another women to be locked
up for striking her, and this woman, the prisoner, and
the deceased came in contact on Sunday last. The wit-
nesses alleged that the prisoner struck both Allen, the
deceased, and the other woman with the poker. Allen
died yesterdy morning. The other woman is as yet
considered in danger.
The prisoner, who solemnly protcstel her innocence,
was remanded.

HORRIBLE SUICIDE AT THE SARACEN'S HEAD HO*
MM.—This forenoon a painful degree of excitement pre-
vailed among the occupants of the Saracen's Head Hotel,
Skinner-street, Snowhill, in consequence of the suicide of
Mr. James Bristow, a gentleman very highly connected, end
supposed to be lately residing at Henley, in the county of
Middlesex. The deceased gentleman had taken apartments
for a few days at the hotel, and he retired to rest about one
o'clock this (Saturday) morning, quite cheerful. Nothing
more was heard of him, until one of the ostlers had his at-
tention drawn to a pool of blood which lay on the floor of
a coach-house, underneath the deceased's bedroom. One
of the female servants went up, but found the door
closed ; she, however, raised an alarm, and when she entered
the apartment the deceased was lying on the floor, with his
head nearly shattered to pieces. By his aide was discovered
a six barrelled pistol, which, from the position of the de-
ceased, had been discharged in his mouth. The police were
called, and when his pockets were searched, two letters were
found, one addressed to Mr. Mackenzie, of Half-Moon-street,
Piccadilly, in which the deceased mentions something rela-
tive to the late Derby races sad other matters.
A MARVELLOUS TALE.—When the American
barque Mary Annab, was making her last trip to Belfast, on
reaching lung. 65 deg. 49 min. W. and lat. 27, deg. 20 rain.
N., the sailors were astonished to hear a bark, which was un-
mistakeably that of a dog, and seemed to proceed from the
sea. Looking out they discovered the poor animal from
which the cry p oceeded stiuggling with the billows far
astern. Captain Keating was apprised of the fact, and
bringing his glass to bear on the now lessening object, which
increasing aistance was every moment making more indis-
tinct, he pronounced it a sun-fish basking on the surface.
The men were positive as to the fish having barked as nothing
but a dog could, unless a very odd fi,la indeed, and just at
that moment a sound came down upon the wind unmistake-
ably issuing from canine jaws. The ship was put aback, and
in a short time the adventurous animal was hoisted on board
in a pitiable plight. He recovered, however, and now frisks
along the deck of the Mary Annah as nimbly as though his
energies had never been tasked by swimming over half the
Atlantic—a feat which some of the sailors strongly assert, we
do not wish to say swear, he has accomplished. " Uncle
Sam," as the dog is now christened, must have dropped from
some ship that bad pa•sed in the Mary Annah's course; but
how the poor animal could have kept afltat for such a period
as he must have been in the water is a problem.—Northern
Whig.
ROYAL ORTHOPCEDIC HOSPITAL.—Yesterday even-
ing a meeting of the friends and committee of this hospital
was held in the boa d-room, No. 6, Bloomsbury-square. It
appeared that the prospects and arrangements of the ensuing
anniversary festival, under the chairmanship of Mr. Quarles
Harris, were in every respect satisfactory and encouraging.
A numerous list of noblemen and gentlemen had signified
their ready willingness to support the worthy founder of the
hospital on the occasion, alike by their presence, pecuniary
assistance, and personal services as stewards of the dinner.
Nearly 11,000 patients had now participated in the benefits of
the charity, and the daily increasing numbers, coupled with
the fact of no less than 300 being on the hooks waiting their
turn of admission, rendered the commencement of the pro-
posed new and extended building an object of much interest
to the friends and supporters of the charity. Her Majesty
and bis Royal Highness Prince Albert bad given the warmest
encouragement to the design, and energetic exertions were
being made for its speedy consummation.
SUICIDE OF A NEWSVENDOR.—Yeaterday morning,
shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. Charles Reynolds was disco-
vered suspended from the cupboard door in the kitchen. His
daughter-in-law, with great presence of mind, got into the
window, unlocked the door, and, with the assistance of de-
ceased's eldest son, cut him down. Mr. Bannister, surgeon,
of Oxford-street, attended with all possible speed, but life
was found extinct. He has left a family of five children to
deplore his untimely end. Supposed cause for committing
this rash act, pecuniary embarrassment. An inquest will be
held on Monday.
SHIPLOAD OF ELEPHANTS.--11H barque Itegatta
has arrived here from India, freighted with nine living ele-
phants, a zebu or Burmese bull, sixteen enormous serpents,
including a brace of boa-constrictors of 24 and 16 feet in
length, beside a wilderness of monkeys, the fretted
_porcupine,
and other live varmints. One of the most curious features of
this Noah's-ark collection is a calf elephant, about nine
months old, and weaned from its dam on the passage from
Ceylon, being but three feet high, and as docile and playful
as a kitten. Another is one of the native chiefs of Ceylon,
who accompanies the show in charge elephants.ofeitnhceethedaysof Thies

jungles by Messrs. June and Nutter,
the natives. Their capture was effected by driving
them into a kraal, or rude pen, constructed in the jungle, out
of which they succeeded in securing thirteen two having
died on the passage and another being stolen from the
drove. The Regatta made her passage borne s 13,000), stop

in 112 days. The elephant hunters were three months and
four days in the jungles before they effected their object.-

HIGHLAND GAMES IN LONDON. W are happy
to learn that the Highland Society of London intend Gar-
tuting games similar to those formerly exhibited in Holland
Park, and that a truly national display may be expected
about the last week in June. The competition will embrace
all our Highland sports, meisi^, and athletic exercises, and
will form a feature in the World's Gathering by no means un-
attractive to foreigners and characteristic of our country.
Prince Albert is said to enter cordially into the scheme, and
most of the Scottish nobility and ladies in London patronise
it with ardour and enthusiasm. Arrangements, we under-
stand, are in progress for making the prizes as liberal and
numerous as possible, and for carrying out the fete in the
most efficient manner. We sincerely trust that nothing may
occur to mar this undertaking, which would prove highly in-
teresting to our foreign visitors.—lnverness Courier.
