LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

Another of my tormentors is a lean, withered
exile, whose enemy is the Court of Austria. He
is gradually scorching sere beneath the eye of Prince
--, which, be avers, is always upon him. He is
full of horrible knowledge. He tells dismaying
tales of secret police, who follow him closely as
would his shadow, were there substance enough: in
him to make one. They hunt him from house to
house, from hour to hour. In fear of these, he
changes his lodgings every week, and his coffee-
room every day. His eye is restless, his gait t s
imid,
his posture crouching, his step silent. He glide
in upon me with whispers, and slinks away with
silent signs.
This decaying martyr was once a tutor of princes,
and afterwards an official of the Austrian Court.
He thus became possessed of State secrets, which,
if divulged, would set empires in arms ; but b_•

`remains tranquil_

Twice or thrice a-week this world's-peace-pre-
server comes with a little slip of intelligence trans-
lated from a foreign language to an unknown one,
and from a newspaper to the inner side ef an old en-
velope, announcing that an ingenious Ft enchman
has invented an apparatus for infallibly blowing
out the brains of Emperors ; or, that an Italian
professor has secretly devised means for supplying
unarmed peasants with a sure defence against the
weapons of trained troops ; or that a clever Pole is
bavinq manufactured at Manchester a machine
which', by the aid of a single patriot, will simultane-

(as he has hitherto always found) that his article is

FATAL ACCIDENT TO A POLICE-CONSTABLE AT NOT.
TING-RILL.—INQUEST.—Yesterday evening an inquiry
took place at St. George's Hospital touching the death
of Charles Bush, aged 45, a police sergeant of the T
division. James Lovett, a groom, said that about three
o'clock on Thursday morning he was riding through the
Lansdowne-road, Notting-hill, when he heard groans.
and on going to the spot discovered the deceased down
a deep area of one of the unfurnished houses. Witness
went to the station-house, and on giving information of
the •accident, the superintendent sent a stretcher,
on
which the deceased was sent to the hospital. The super-
intendent said that the deceased had been in the force for
thirteen years, and was a very active officer. Th un-
finished houses bad longbeen the resort ot ers,
and it was in looking after them that thebad charact
deceased had
lost his life. Mr. Hooper, the house-surgeon of the hos-
pital, said the deceased died from a fracture of the spine.
Verdict, "Accidental death."
