THE IMPORTANCE OF A UNIT.

ONE.—One hour lost in the morning by lying in bed,
will put back all the business of the day.
One hour gained by rising early is worth one month
of labour in a year.
One hole in a fence will cost ten time➢ as much as it
will to fix it once

One diseased sheep will spoil a flock.
One unruly animal will teach all others in company
bad tricks; and the Bible says—" One sinner destroys
much good."

One drunkard will keep a family poor and make them
miserable.

One wife that is always telling how fine her neighbour
dresses, and how little she can get, will look pleasanter
if she will talk about something also.
One husband that is penurious or lazy, and deprives
his family of necessary comforts such as their neigh-
bours enjoy, is not as desirable as he ought to be.
One good newspaper is one good thing in every family.

DETERMINED ATTEMrT AT SUICIDRT—OR Tuesday
morning a most determined attempt at suicide was made by
George Godson, a coachman in the service of Count Zorab,
Rosslyn Lodge, Hampstead. It appears that orders were
given that the carriage should be ready by nine• o'clock, to
take some part of the family out, and that shortly before the
period alluded to the groom entered the coachhouse, when,
on looking into the ♦ehicle, the door of which was open, he
beheld his fellow-servant (the coachman) lying upon one of
the seats with a frightful gash in his throat; a razor, with
which he had inflicted the dreadful wound, was discovered
by his side, and the cushion and bottom of the carriage were
deluged in blood. Inspector Champneys, of the S division
was promptly at the residence, information having been
given to him of the occurrence, and after the unfortunate
man had been attended to by Mr. Perry, a surgeon, he was
removed upon a stretcher to the North London Hospital.
We understand that there is but little, if any, chance of his
recovery.

DEATH BY PoicoN.—On Thursday an inquest
was held at Great Bradley, on the body of Hester Radford,
who died on Tuesday, the 14th. Ann Radford deposed that
the deceased, who was in her seventeenth year, was one of
four daughters of Joseph Radford,'her late husband's brother,
with whom witness now lived as his wife, and by whom she
had two children, aged three and five years respectively.
The deceased slept at her uncle's, next door; Joseph Rad-
ford and the witness with four children, sleeping in one
room ; the rest of the house, the property of Par. Lamprell,
having been pulled down. The deceased kept company
with a young man named Alfred Hinds. On Sun-
day, the 28th ult., she was taken with a bowel complaint,
which continued till the following Sunday, when Mr. Baker,
surgeon, saw her; and she kept her bed from the Sunday
night till her death, which took place on Tuesday afternoon,
about two o'clock. Two of her sisters and two of the wit-
ness's children had been taken ill during the same period,
but were better now. They all had their victuals together.
The inquest was adjourned in order that a post mortem exa-
mination might be made, and we understand that a quan-
tity of a plant well known for its use in procuring abortion
has been found by Mr. Image in the intestines.—lpswich

FATAL ACCIDENT AT BLACKWALL —Yesterday
afternoon Air. W. Baker held an inquest at dam Artichoke
Tavern, High-street, Blackwall, on the body of John Wallis
Shores, aged 65. The deceased was a superintendent over
the men in the dockyard of Mr. Pitcher, Blackwall. On
Friday last the deceased and several men were engaged in
weighing a. large quantity of chain. The scales v ere fixed

to the —"shear's,"`and While the men were in the act of
removing about six cwt. of the chain, one of the planks
slipped away, and the shears fell with great violence, striking
the deceased on the right side of the head. He was carried
to the surgery of Mr. Frey, but he died shortly afterwards.
Sevjal witnesses were examined at great length, who said
that they had called the deceased's attenti n to the dange-
rous condition of the tackle, but be said the lashing on the
top was quite safe. The coroner remarked on the evidence,
when the jury returned a verdict of "Accidental Death."
METROPOLITAN COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS.—
The Commissioners held a court yesterday for the transaction
of ordinary business, at their offices, Greek-street, Soho.
There were present Mr. E. Lewes (the chairman), Sir John
Burgoyne, Mr. E. Allanson, Captain Vetch, and Mr. T.
Hawes. The minutes of the last meeting having been con-
firmed payments to the amount of 6,112/. 55., for the inci-
dental expenses, includiug wages and salaries, were laid
before the court and sanctioned. This leaves a balance in
hand of 4,336/. 12s. sd. Several complaints from different
localities respecting existing nuisances having been read
and considered, the court then heard summonses against
persons who had failed to execute private improvement
works, according to notice ; also against owners of property
for payment of the charges and expenses in respect of pri-
vate improvement works executed by order of the Commis-
sioners. Several works were then ordered, and the meeting
separated.

THE CHURCH Or ST. MARY ALDERMARY, Bow-
, LANE.—It Stow be correct, when he says that this church
was called Aldermary, because it was older than any other
church dedicated to St. Mary in the city, it must have been
founded at a very remote time, inasmuch as St. Mary-le-Bow
was probably built, as we have said, in the reign of William
the Conqueror. The fact that this latter church was formerly
called New Mary Church is, however, somewhat confirmatory
of the statement. in 1510 Sir Henry Keble, Lord P.tayor of
London, began to rebuild the church. His epitaph, formerly
in the old building, calls him—
" A famous worthy wight,
Which did this Aldermary Church
Erect and set upright."
Before this edifice was completed he died; but in order that
no hindrance might arise, he had bequeathed 1,0001. to finish
it. The tower was rebuilt in 1629, bt the cost of 1,00(4.
The church having been destroyed by the fire of 1666, with
the exception of the tower, was restored by Sir Christopher
Wren in 1681, a sum equal to 5,0001. being furnished for that
purpose by the widow of one Henry Rogers, in pursuance of
his will, which directed that this amount should be expended
in the erection or repairs of some church. An inscription in
Latin over the nest door of the edifice records this benefac-
tion.—Budder.

The Brussels journals state that the number of
foreigners arriving in that city to pass the winter was never
so great as at present. The number of French families, in
particular, is very considerable; it is about as great as that
of English families.

A BLOOMER IN CLARE-MARKET.—Tuesday even-
ing two ladies made their appearance in Clare-market, at-
tired in full Bloomer costume. The motive of the selection
of this peculiar locality for a Bloomer display is not very
apparent. The ladies, however, seemed to have nerved
themselves to the feat, and having alighted from a cab at the
corner of Vere-street, commenced the promenade of the
market. Their broad flapping hats instantly attracted at-
tention, and " The Bloomers, the Bloomers," resounded
from one end of the market to the other. A crowd of
butchers' boys, £shwomen, and costermongers quickly
gathered round the Bloomers. Some of the lads pulled the
frills of their trowsers, and the ladies, in alarm, fled towards
Clement's Inn-passage, closely followed by their tormentors,
pelting them with cabbage-stumps and turnips. At this
juncture some constables of the F division came up, and
protected them from further insult, and they were escorted
back to their cab, and driven off amidst the shouts and jeers
of the populace. Several of the shopkeepers' wives were
highly indignant at the treatment of the ladies, and said it
was a disgrace to the country. All fashions, they said, ap-
peared ridiculous at first.

LOCAL TRAFFIC ON THE CHESTER AND HOLY-
HEAD RAILWAY.—In the course of a abort time a vast
amount of local traffic will be placed upon the Chester and
Holyhead line. The slate trade, which is by far the most
important of the local trade, will, in a short time, be com-
pletely thrown upon this line. Of its importance, the fact
that Mr. Roberts, the agent for Thomas Asaheton Smith,
has contracted for the conveyance of 40,000 tons of slate
annually, will speak for itself. The formation of the branch
line from the Penrhyn elate quarries will throw the con-
veyance of many thousands of tons of slates monthly up_on
the main line, and this will commence immediately. For
the construction of this branch line the railway company
found the rails and sleepers, Colonel Pennant, the owner of
the quarry, being at the expense of the rest. The line to
Port Dinorwic is to be ready coon after the commencement
of the year, when the trade of the Llanberis quarry will be
ready tor transit. From the Buckley mountain a large trade
in bricks, &c., ore from the lead mines, and 40,000 tons of
coal from the collieries will shortly be expected to be added
to the local traffic of the line.

SAILING OF THE BALTIC.—The United States
mail steamer Baltic, Captain Comstock, sailed from Liver-
pool yesterday at half-pact twelve, with the usual mails, and
92 passengers, for New York direct. The usual salutes were
fired as the Baltic sailed down the river. •
ItETNAUD CAUGHT IN A TRAP.—On Thur
two persons returning to Carnarvon on the Straits,sda neary, Felin Heli, discovered to their no small astonishment, mov-
ing alon
of h g the shore, a fox, dragging after him, attached to
one isnd lep, a heavy trap, to which was affixed a
rope. The animal was easily secured, and on examination
found to have fractured the imprisoned leg, apparently hav-
ing bitten in two the rope which secured the trap, by which
means he Nnii enabled to liberate himeelf,—Carnarron
