The last of the celebrated Bow-street runners,
Mr. Leo, aged 76, died on Tuesday last. This officer
was well known from the fact of his having captured
Corder, for the murder of Maria Martin in the "Rod
Barn," and it is only about three years ago, when a
theatrical benefit was given for him, that he took the
" original part" of the runner, and again made a capture
of the murderer. For 36 years he enjoyed a handsome
pension, which he monthly received at the Lambeth Police-
court.—South London Press.

Loss OF THREE LIVES AT MAIDENHEAD RE-
QATTA.—After the races at Maidenhead Regatta on Thurs-
day had concluded, a deplorable accident, resulting in the
loss of threo lives, occurred on the Thames near the Great
Western railway-bridge, in the Bray Roach. Between
nine and ten o'clock a pleasure boat, containing eight per-
sons, were being pulled across the stream, and au eight-oar
manned by Etonians came into collision with it. Both boats
were overturned and the occupants immersed. A scene of
painful excitement and anxiety succeeded. The Eton boys,
who were good swimmers, did their utmost to save the
lives of the parties thrown out of the other boat, and to
some extent succeeded, but, notwithstanding the efforts
made, George Tubb, a carpenter, 20 years, Anne Pocock,
and Eliza Ayres, 10 years (whose father is a carman) met
a watery grave. Tubb was a sailor and could swim well,
but it is supposed that he was borne down by ono of the
females. All the bodies were recovered yesterday and re-
moved to the King's Arms Hotel, where an inquest will
be held.

ODD NUMBERS.—Sir James V. Simpson stated
recently, at the Obstetrical Society of Edinburgh, that ho
had seen seven cases iu Edinburgh of intrauerino am-
putation, all of the left arm;' with rudimentary fingers
existing; and he remarked, that it was almost waiver-
sally the left arm. He calculated, some years ago, that
if this deformity were as common elsewhere as in Edin-
burgh—as was probably the fact—some 40,000 or
50,000 such single-handed individuals probably ex-
isted in the world. Ho related the case of a girl
who had neither arms nor legs, residing in the Highlands;
also a Student, and lately an A. 31. of the University of
Edinburgh, without arms, who wrote his exercises with his
feat.—Briti4 Medical Journal;
