Richards, deputy-coroner,
on Friday night at the Wellington _
street-road, relative to the death by isilemfaof S
Charles Eastee, aged 45 years.
Charles Eastee, 4, Hungerford-street, St,
George's-in-the-East, sou'of the deceased, said that
his father was a cooper, and was employed at the
Steam Cooperage Company's works, in Hungerford-
street. Last Saturday he was paid £2 wages, but
3s. ld. was stopped. He went over to his wife and
gave her £1 175., and toy her that 38. had freen
stopped, and, he could not get it until Alond..ty or
Tuesday. There was a row, and deceased called his
wire a bad name, and she also was abusive. flow-
ever, they went out togAher afterwards ;0 market.
They returned home about half-past 10 o'clock,
when witness was out. Upon witness coming in at
11 o'clock he found his father perfectly insensib:e,
and his mother with a poker striking at the land-
lady and others. She was in liquor. Deceased
died next morning.
Ellen Eastee, a little girl, now clothed in the
workhouse dress, deposed that her mother grumbled
about not having enough money to pay the land,..
lady. Deceased called her names. She told him, to
go out. He went out on to the steps outside the
door, and she then went behind him and flung him,
out on his head in the street. He lay insensible on
the pavement. She then got a poker, but she, did
not strike him with it. She tried to strike, other
people.

his opening remarks that the shooting had at least
been equal to that of the previous year, and that
the South Middlesex had well maintained its repu-
tation as a shooting regiment. Members of it, .he
said, had not only won prizes in their own corps,
but had brought souvenirs of their skill from Bel-
gium. In reference to the question of Volunteers
leaving the force, he said that in many cases this
arose from men leaving the district in which they
joined, and being unwilling to incur the expense of
a different uniform. Ile thought that each arm of
the service should adopt one uniform, the rifles one
distinct dress and the artillery another, for then a
man would not be lost to the service though Chang- I
ing his residence, as was now often the case. His I
lordship stated that one member had resigned in
consequence of the Beaufort-house grounds being
lent for the purposes of the " demonstration" of
Monday last, that member being of opinion that
the head-quarters of a Volunteer corps ought not to
be associated with a political purpose. With respect
to this matter his lordship said he had allowed
the use of the ground with a view of preventing a
repetition of the disgraceful scenes which had been
witnessed in the parks. The prizes consisted chiefly
of silver and other cups, clocks, watches, jewellery,
revolvers, and rifles. The champion badge was
taken by Private Verity, the challenge cup of the
first company by Sergeant-Inspector Milner, who
also won the Marksmen's Cup. The cup of the
guardians of Chelsea was won by Privat:":7tichards,
and the challenge cup of the second company by
Ifi
Corporal IT. Bird.

A witness stated that the deceased was flung from
the top of the steps on to the flags with such force
that it seemed " as if he had been flung out of the
house in a sack."

The Coroner having summed up the evidence,
The Jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter
against Elizabeth Eastee for feloniously slaying
Charles Eastee, her husband."

The Coroner then issued his warrant for the de-
tention of the accused in Newgate to await her trial
at the Central Criminal Court.

The Danish Government aas just granted a con-
cession which monopolises public attention. A great
port is to be built at the northern part of Elsineur.
Elsineur commands the Sund, which is the most
easy passage from the Northern Sea to the Baltic.
The ships of every nation converge towards that
point, which seems to have been marked by nature
to be the mart town for the east and the west of
the globe. To the south of Kronborg, the fort de-
fending Elsiueur, and at the foot of which stands
the actual port, the sea begins to freeze. But on
the north of Kronborg, where the new port is to be
constructed, the current, which is exceedingly rapid,

way followed by the numberless goods which Eng-
land, America, and Franca exchange for produce
from Russia, Eastern Prussia, and Sweden. From
400 to 500 ships ar3 sometimes anchored off Kron-
borg waiting a propitious wind to enter into or to
come from the Baltic Sea, thus losing most precious
time. On the average from thirty to forty thou-
sand ships annually call at Elsineur. The new port
of Elsineur will procure the immense boon of sup-
pressing the dues levied upon unloading and re-
loading, because it will be no longer necessary to
have the warehouses in the town which foreign ship-
ping were obliged to keep. Large warehouses will
be built in the new port, and the ships from the
Neva will be able to bring their cargoes direct, thus
saving both time and money, and those cargoes will
be bought on the spot without the sellers or buyers
having to bear the double expense of disembarking,
which they were incurring with the actual system.
The new port will cover an area of a little more
than two millions of square yards. The conces-
sionnaire, M. Carle, has concluded with M.
Staempfli, director of the Bank of Berne, a treaty
by which the latter has bound himself to find the
money. A company is being formed with that
view, and the works are to begin in March next.
EMIG RATION STATISTICS.—The
Emi-
gration agent at Liverpool has
returns for the past month. They show a decrease

199 passengers for Queensland. Of ships not under
the Act 22 sailed, with 956 passengers. The total
emigration for the month was 6,451 against 9,857
in the corresponding month of last year, showing a
decrease of 3,40 G.

A piece of work, which is intended for exhibition
at the Paris Exposition, has just been finished. It
is a large portfolio, 48 by 35 inches, and it contains
a full set of the United States coast survey charts.
It is of Turkey morocco, green on the outside, and
lined with red, with four clasps of gold plate on
silver. The cover is arranged in panels, in the centre
one of which is the inscription, " United States
C Larts, Coast Survey Office, Treasury Department,
Washington, 186 G." In the other panels is the
finest scroll work.
A box filled with papers and parchment docu-
ments has been discovered by the workmen engaged
in digging the foundations of the Louvre. One of
the most skilful French paleontologists has been
entrusted with the task of deciphering these papers,
which belong to the 13th century.

The Minister of Education in France, M. Duruy,
has ordered people's libraries to be established in
all the rnairies of Paris. Large rooms have been

The commerce of France with th countries be-
yond the Cape of Good Hope amounts annually to
more than 500 millions of francs ; that is to say,
2
5 per cent less than that with the United States,
but 200 millions more than that with Central
America.
I-ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Wrongs and Remedies.—When the safe treatment of dis-
ease by these purifying preparations is so simple, and the
good results so fully known, it seems
,ailmos, unnecessary
to ask the ailing to give them a trial. lhe ointment is in-
fallible in curing skin diseases, healing ulcers, arresting
inflammations, reducing-
enlargements, and removing al-
most all external maladies. In all affections of the joints,
gouty, rheumatic, and scrofulous attacks, by which the
health of many is daily drained away, Holloway's ointment
and pills will afford indrcriba,ble relief, and will gradually,
if they be used as recommended in the accompanying
directions, bring about a thorough and-lasting cure. Both
Medicaments are suitable for every age, sex, and coalition.

Maria Olive, the landlady, said that on the after-
noon in question she heard a great disturbance.
Mrs. Estee called witness and said, " I had a half-
quartern of ginger brandy and my husband drank
half of it, and called me a bad name. Do I look
like what he called me ?" Deceased said, " She
won't believe that they stopped 3s. ld. of my wages,
and that I cannot get-it- till Monday orTuakTay.
' ?ok a quiet opportunity of expostulating
with the deceased when his wife wad not present,
and said, " Remember when your wife broke out'
before it was through a quarrel. You have-called
her a bad name, and if she breaks out now, you know
what you have to expect. She will sell your home.
to get money to buy drink, as she did before." They
then went out marketing together. Witness also
went out, but on coming home at half-past 10 she
found deceased lying nearly dead on the flags in
front of the house. Witness said to Mrs. Eastee,
" You are a wicked woman! You have killed your
husband." Mrs. Eastee got a poker, and saying,
" Me a wicked woman ! I'll, show you the differ-
ence !" rushed at witness and would have slain her
as well as the deceased only some persons interfered.
Deceased was carried indoors, and he died on Sun-
day morning.
Dr. H. Tainton said that he was called in to the
deceased on Sunday morning last, and found him
quite dead. The post-mortom examination showed
an extensive fracture of the skull and consequent
injury to the brain, which had caused death. A
very heavy fall would have produced the injuries.
