CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Saturday Mr. W. Car-
ter, coroner for Surrey, held an invest at the Duke of
Gloucester public-house, Union. row, ew Kent-road, ou the
body of a poor bonnet-maker, named Susan Ansell, aged 59
years, who, it was alleged, had died from starvation. The
evidence adduced went to prove that the deceased had suf-
fered great privations from her incapability of earning a
sufficiency to get a prnper, quantity of food for her support.
She had been known to go without victuals for days to-
gether, and then would beg of some of the neighbours.
She bad been aivised to apply to the Newington workhouse
for relief, but informed the witness that "she would rather
die in a ditch." An order was obtained for the assistance of
the parish surgeon, who came and prescribed for the de-
ceased, whom he described as dying from disease of the heart
and lungs, no doubt brought on by the want of proper
nourishing food. She died on the morning of Thursday
from exhaustion. The jury returned the following verdict—
" Died from disease of the heart and lungs, accelerated by
the want of proper nourishing food."

The Mayor of Southampton has invited the Lord
Mayor of London to a grand banquet, in return for his Lord •
ship's hospitable entertainment a few weeks ago at the Man-
sion•house to encourage the great Industrial Exhibition. The
Lord Mayor has accepted the invitation, and the banquet will
take place about the middle of next month, in the Town-hall
above the bar gate of Southampton.

STRIKE AMONG THE HACKNEY COACn PROPRIE-
TORS AT Ecininuacm.—The strike among the hackney
coach proprietors still constinues, and to the great incon-
venience of the public all the cab stands, except one, re-
main deserted. An attempt was made on Thursday, by
a deputation of the coach proprietors, to induce the ma•
gi:trates to rescind their resolution, and to accept a plan
based on that previously in operation, but with a 6d. fare
for distances not exceeding half a mile. The magistrates
refused to acquiesce in this proposition, and insisted on a trial
being made of the uniform scheme. The colference conse-
quently ended in nothing whatever being done.

IMINIERSION.—On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Williams,
of Cornbourne, Goudhurst, had come from thence to Yalding,
to witness the ceremony of immersion performed by Mr.
Pryer, farmer, of this place, who is a Latter-day Saint, or
Plymouth Brother. The company were preparing to start
for the river in Northwood, where the business was to be
transacted, and a Mr. Slade, of Goudhurst, was the person
who was to be immersed ; but' the ceremony was prevented
by a most serious accident. Mr. and Mrs. Williams had
concluded to ride down to the river, and had just got into a
cart fur that purpose when the horse ran back into a very
deep pond in Mr. Pryer's yard, and horse, cart, and Mr. and
Mrs. Williams, were quickly out of sight, and under the
water. The persons present, with great presence of mind,
threw into the pond a sheep-gate, and Mrs. Williams came
up first and caught hold of it, and then grasped her husband
by one arm, the party dragging the sheep-gate towards the
yard, and Mrs- Williams and her husband, and thus both
were saved from their perilous situation. The horse was
drowned and the cart broken to pieces.—Rochester Gazette.
THE CLYDESDALE BANKING COMPANY.—The an-
nual general meeting of this company was held yesterday in
the Merchants' Hall ; the Hon. Sir James Anderson, Lord
Provost, in the chair. Tire directors' report was unani-
mously approved of, and the usual dividend declared of 61
per cent. It was stated in the report that the whole of the
bad debts, with the exception of a small amount not yet
ascertained, had been written off, and that the reserved
fund was now 131,000/. In reply to a question put to the
chairman, the manager stated that the bank was not in my
way connected with the Commercial Fxchange Company,
and had not lost one farthing by any exchange company
whatsoever. In place of the Hon. the Lord Provost and
Mr. Dobie, the retiring directors, Messrs. John Mitchell and
John Blackie, sen., were unanimously elected.—Glasgow
Daily Mail.

MIDSUMMER HORSE FAIR.—On Wednesday the
Cattle market-place was the scene of our summer horse fair
and hiring market. The attendance of dealers was nume-
rous, and the display of horses large; the quality decidedly
first-rate. The supply, however, exceeded the demand ;
sales were dull, and prices ruled 20 per cent, under former
rates. Good draught horses brought 40/. ; superior animals
not more than 411. Secondary descriptions averaging from
20/. to 30/. Riding ponies, for which the demand was li-
mited, brought from 61. to 101. The hiring market was
largely attended, and engagements were numerous. Wages
averaged for male servants 41. 10s., and for females 21. to 31.
till Martinmas next. Few good hands left the market unen-
gcged.— Glasgow Constitutional.
TDB GREAT DESERT OF SAHARA.—We have re-
ceived advices direct from Mourzuk, by which we learn that
Mr. Richardson and his Prussian fellow-travellers, Dra. Bark
and Overwege, had safely reached the capital of Fezzan,
and were preparing for their longjourney to Central Africa.
They are waiting the arrival of an escort of Touaricks from
Ghat to conduct them from the Ghat territory to Aheer and
Aghadez, the unexplored Touarick countries in the southern
regions of the Sahara. On the Queen's birthday M. Gu-
gliuffi, the British Consul at Mourzuk, gave a dinner to the
Bey of Fezzan, with his principal officers, and the tra-
vellers. The dinner was sumptuous for the regions of the
desert, and good Mussulmans drank the health of her Ma-
jesty with champagne. In honour of the Germans the
health of his Dlejesty the King of Prussia was also drank.
At noon, fifty-one discharges of musketry and matchlocks
announced to the natives of Mourzuk, the -Tibboos and
Touaricks, and Soudanese and Bornouese, congregated
there for commerce, the happy event of her Majesty's
birthday.

RATHER STRANGE.—One day last week a very
large mullet, larger than has been taken in Lochlomond for
the last r.O years, was caught by an angler in that beautiful
water. When the fish was preparing for the brander a
piece of paper addressed "C. D.' Herald Office," was found
stowed away in its stomach. An indubitable proof this of
the mullet-itudinous circulation of that journal when even
the fishes take it in.—Glasgow Constitutional.
THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.—A letter from Bor-
deaux of the 10th instant states that the wheat harvest has
commenced in the department of the Gironde under the
most favourable auspices. The grain is firm and heavy, and
of excellent quality.
Advices from St. Petersburgh mention that the
Neptune steamer, with 270,0001. in silver, on account of the
Russian loan, had arrived on the sth inst., after the shortest
passage ever made, the time occupied being six and a half
days.
