URDER OF A WIFE BY HER HIJPBAND.—On
Sunday last the town of IVatlington, Oxon, was thrown into
a state of great excitement, from the fact that Ann, the wife
of John Lambourne, a labourer, had been murdered in the
course of Saturday evening. Her husband was proved to
be the assassin, having inflicted a deadly blow on the right
side of the back part of the head, which separated the scalp
and bruised the bone; another wound was discovered on the
other side of the head, and a third on the right cheek, toge-
ther with several bruises on different parts of the body. The
deceased received those injuries which terminated in her
death early in the' evening of Saturday. Being afterwards
left alone, she staggered into the garden, when, after wander-
ing about which fact was discove. able from several pools of
blood in different places) she made again for the door, but
fell from. exhaustion. She was found still alive at twelve
o'clock, and carried into the catak,e, laid on the bed, where
she died at twenty minutes past eight o'clock on the follow-
ing morning. ter husband, John Lambourne, who had for
a number of years treated her with extreme brutality, often
beating her with sticks and with his fists, was taken into
Custody. On Monday an inquest was held upon the body,
and the prisoner was fully committed to Oxford Castle to
take his trial at the next spring assizes, on the charge of
wilful murder.

THE EYANGELICAL ALLIANCE.—The Evangelical
Alliance terminated its conference in Liverpool on Thursday
evening. It is proposed to hold an assembly in London next
year, probably during the time of the Exhibition, of Chris-
tians of all nations.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF WATCHES AND JEWEL-
LERY.—The dreadful murder at Frimley has been followed
hy an extensive robbery of jewellery, &c., at the town of
Wokingham, which is situated about midway between
Reading and. Printley. The robbery took place on the pre-
mises of Mr. Porter, a highly respectable watchmaker,
hying in the Market-place, on the evening of Sunday last,
during the absence of himself and other inmates of the
house at divine service. Some time after tkeir return Mr.
Porter went into the shop, and at once discovered that up-
wards of 40 gold and silver watches had been carried off,
gold rings, brooches, and pins, the loss in the whole amount-
ing to between 2001 and 3001. The thieves entered through
the shop door by means of skeleton keys.
J. R. Croskey, Esq , has been re• appointed Ame-
rican consul at the ports of Southampton and Cowes.
WOOLWICLI, OCT. 4.—THE EMPEROR OF Russia's
STEA)t. YACHT. This fine frigate-rigedeam-acht, named Peterhoff, built of iron, by llessrs. Mare
and Co., Blackwall,
from a design by Mr. Waterman, jun., and fitted with engines
of 140-horse power, by Messrs. George and Sir John Rennie,
went down the river to-day on an experimental trial, having
on board Lieutenant Ecbapparie, Lieutenant Kurchakoff, and
Lieutenant Seminoft', of the Russian Navy ; Sir John Rennie,
Mr. George Rennie, Mr. Bishop, patentee of the disc engine;
Mr. Dykes, engineer; Mr. Waterman, designer of the vessel;
and Mr. Jones, chief draughtsman to the Messrs. Rennie.
The Peterhoff is of 412 tons burthen, and draws 3ft. I lin.
forward and 4ft. tin. aft; and when she started on her trial
to-day she had all her rigging up, as she is to leave in the
course of next week, for St. Petersburgh. Her cylinders are
461 inches diameter, on the oscillating principle, and giving
a stroke of 3ft. Gin. The engines are finished in the best
style, and have been adjusted with such nicety that, during
her run from Blackwall to the Nore, and six times up and
down the measured mile in Sea Reach, below Gravesend,
.there were not the least symptoms of heating in any part,
and the movement of the vessel at her greatest speed did not
produce the least vibration in whatever part she was tried.
The result of the six runs in Sea Reach was very satis-
factory.
The Prince de Canino, Charles Bonaparte, ex-
President of the Roman Republic, whose passage through
France was last year the occasion of administrative mea-
sures, which had forbidden him to remain on the territory of
the French Republic, is at present (says the Ordre) at Paris,
where he appears not to be disquieted by the police.
HMV TO MAKE THE MOST OF DISEASED POTATOES.
—A correspondent sends us, all the way from Chester, the
fAlowing recipe :—As soon as possible steam or boil them,
and pack them, with a little salt, in barrels or air• tight ves-
sels; and use as required. They will keep in this state for
four months.—Ayr Observer.
LONDON WELLs.—The deepest well in London is
that sunk by Messrs. Coombe and Co., the brewers, which
measures 522 feet. The next is at the Excise Office. 500 feet.
. The well at Meux's brewery is 425 feet deep; that at Messrs.
Pimlico, 398 feet. The Trafalgar-square well is
370
383 feet deep, and the well at Kensington new workhouse
feet. —Builder.

' PROPOSED NEW STREET IN TEE CITY.—A
snerously attended meeting of the inhabitants of the
Tower Ward was held on Tuesday, for the purpose of taking
into consideration a plan for forming a new street
from the south side of the Corn-Exchange, in Mark-lane,
to Tower-hill, traversing the site of the recent confla-
gration. The vast opening left by that casualty has given
of M
rise to a prtject for carrying a street from the east side
ark-latie, between Tower-street and the Corn-Exchange,
over the site of the ruins and through Seething-lane to
Tower-hill. It was stated that this new line of thorough-
fare would speedily relieve the traffic in Great Tower-
street; a different plan for improving that locality had, how-
ever, been under consideration in the year 1846, and hence some
disagreement of opinion prevailed. but the meeting adopted a
resolution to the effect that the increasing traffic through the
principal streets of the ward required immediate attention,
and suggested to the Commissioners of Metropolitan
Improvements the widening of Mark-lane nearest to Great
Tower-street, as recommended by the inhabitants at a pub•
lic meeting in September, 1846. The meeting
also agreed to
a separate resolution, pressing upon the attention of the
Improvement Committee that the widening of the end of
Mark-lane, which only required the removal of three or four
dilapidated houses, should be pre ceeded with at once, in or-
der that the inhabitants might not stiffer more inconvenience
than is actually necessary in rebuilding the premises de-
stroyed in Mark. lane.
TIIE ADELAIDE GALLERY, STRAND —We find by
a petition, very numerously signed, that a licence for music
and dancing is about to be solicited from the bench of magis-
trates at Clerkenwell on the Bth inst. for these capacious and
elegant premises. The petitioner is Mr. Simpson, the well-
known and highly-respected proprietor of the Albion Tavern,
Great Russell-street, and manager of the Cremorne Gardens.
The manner in which Mr. Simpson has, during the last
season, conducted the gardens in question reflects upon him
the highest credit, and is, to our minds, the strongest re-
commendation he can offer on the present application. If
licences of the nature solicited were always in such hands,
Complaints would-never occur, nor indeed should they, in
amtilitamt. Do utinal E 4 aal% sued iiiiiacmg,
