MAIDSTONE.—David Wilkins, of Loos'.,_ z,'„une-
mason, an industrious and respect •4 ',,/ednesday last
went to his work as usuql ..wrning, leaving his wife,
who had been ill sor- time of a decline, in bed with a little
girl, aged Years, who had also been ill for a very short
period. the middle of the day he received an intimation
that the child was dead. He returned home, and his wife died
very shortly afterwards. The wife would not allow the child
to be moved, as she herself was dying. They were conse-
quently both laid out on the same bed, and buried on Sunday
in Loose churchyard, in the same grave.

There can be little doubt that Llanilid (between
Llantrissent and Bridgend) is the oldest church in Great Bri-
tain. Ilid, a converted Jew, accompanied Bran, the father of
Caractacus, from Rome. Caractacus is known to have lived
at Dunraven—Bran is supposed to have resided at or near
Llanilid ; and a farm-house not far from the church, still call-
ed Tree-fran (Tre-Bran)—" The abode of Bran," confirms
the probability. The revels (Mapsent) of that parish are still
called Gwyl Geri, from Ceri, the grandfather, or, as some
say, the father of Bran. Bran and Ilid (who must have been
at Rome at the same time with St. Paul) converted the Bri-
tons to Christianity, and founded a church at Llanilid 500
years before Augustin had converted their Saxon neighbours.

The rebuilding of Jamaica-street Bridge at Glas-
gow is proceeding rapidly. Preparations are also being made
on the part of the Clyde Trustees for proceeding immediately
and with vigour in building the quay from West-street,
Tradeston, in front of Windimll Croft.

On the night of Wednesday, the 15th current,
between 301. and 401. in silver was abstracted from a cart, be-
longing to James Hay, carrier to the Herbertshire Printfield,
near Denny. The money must have been taken from the cart
somewhere on the road between Glasgow and Denny, as it
was missed immediately on the arrival of the cart at the latter
place ; but no clue has yet been found likely to lead to the dis-
covery of the depredators.--Greenock Paper.
STEAM NAVIGATION.—We understand that the
splendid new steam-ship, Rogal Victoria, of 300 horse power,
belonging to the London, Leith, Edinburgh, and Glasgow
Shipping Company, will start from Leith, on her first voyage,
for the St. Katharine Steam-wharf, London, on Saturday
next the 2d of May. This Company has been induced to
spare no expense which could contribute to the safety, speed,
or superior accommodation of this vessel, and in the construc-
tion of the saloons and sleeping cabins the greatest attention
has been paid to give as much light and as free ventilation as
possible, and it is believed that these objects have never before
been so fully attained in any vessel of this description as in the
Royal Victoria.

SUICIDE.—An inquest was held at Sculcoates,
Hull, on Wednesday last, on the body of Jane Cockcroft,
aged 24, who had destroyed herself by taking arsenic. It
appeared that an attachment had subsisted between deceased
and a young man named Hale ; he had promised to make her
his wife, and for the last three months the marriage had been
expected. On Sunday the deceased arrived at the house of
Hale's mother, and there met him in the evening. The
family received her as usual, and did every thing to make her
comfortable. Hale, however, spent very little time with her,
and very few words passed between them. On Monday he
was out the greater part of the day, and in the afternoon in-
timated that he was going out to tea, and should not return
till late. His sister and the deceased sat up waiting for him
until 11 o'clock, when the former retired to rest, leaving de-
ceased in the kitchen, who said she'would sit up till 12. The
young man arrived about 1 o'clock, but in the mean time the
deceased had swallowed a quantity of arsenic, which made her
very sick. She afterwards became worse, and, having at
length confessed that she had taken poison, a surgeon was
sent for, who attended immediately and administered proper
remedies. The poison had, however, been too long on the
stomach, and all his efforts to counteract its effects were vain,
and she died shortly after. From the evidence of several
witnesses as to what had fallen from deceased relative to the
cause of her taking the arsenic, it appeared that she had been
pregnant fin- some months, although there was not the slightest
evidence to implicate Hale, who declared that it was his in-
tention to have married her as soon as he could make the
necessary arrangements. He had himself heard that she was
pregnant, but did not believe it. The Jury returned a verdict
of " Temporary Insanity."
