MR. HENRY lIALLAm.—We have received with
great regret intelligence of the death of Mr. Henry Hallam,
only surviving son of the eminent historian of the " Middle
Ages." This melancholy event took place at Sienna on the
return of Mr. Hallam and his family from a short visit to
Rome. It will be remembered by the large class of friends
and admirers to whom Mi. Hallam is justly endeared that
a similar misfortune, almost identical in some of its circum-
stances, bereaved him several years ago of an eldest son,
whose genius and whose virtues had singularly endeared him
to all Ms contemporaries. So sudden and so painful an
affliction has seldom fallen twice upon the same family;
and it is increased by the premature close of another the rich
in every promise of personal excellence and professional dis-
tinction.

THE MURDER IN JERSET.—The following are the
terms of the verdict of the jury which sat to inquire into the
means whereby Mrs. Cr.rifon cause by her death :—"That
the said Mary M'llonald, wife of Edward Carlton, or Carle-
ton, died of the consequences of a wound inflicted by the said
Carlton, or Carleton, on his said wife, with a knife or other
instrument." On Saturday Carlton was brought before the
Jersey Royal Court to plead to an indictment framed against
him by the Crown officers for wiful murder. He, through his
advocate, entered a plea of "Not Guilty," and with reserva-
tion of the point that the indictment was not in accordance
with the verdict. Carlton seemed quite at his ease before the
Court, betraying no signs whatever of anxiety or fear.

SOUTH WALES IRON WORKS.—lncreased activity
is apparent in portions of the great mineral field in Soutu
Wales, particularly in the neighbourhood of Brldgend and
Maesteg. It is currently reported that the Maesteg Iron
Works, which have been closed during the last four years,
will very shortly be reopened under extremely favourable
circamatances. At the Garth works an increased nttmber of
men have been employed, and in the underground works
greater activity is visible. Surreys have been undertaken
preparatory to the formation of new tramways, the .opening
of, fresh levels, and extension of air and ventilating pits.
The Lyhvi works are likewise to be enlarged by the addition
of a new mill to the fikishing department.— Carmarthen
Journal.
AMERICAN RAILWAY CARRIAGES.—OUT engineers
have not yet thought fit to give the American system of
carriages a trial, although they appear not unworthy of it.
For our own part, we are induced to think that it would be
a great convenience to be able to stand upright in a carriage
when tired of sitting—that we would rather take a cup of
coffee or a chop on the way, than be compelled to leave a
half-tasted meal at Swindle'em station (where V-e have paid
at a rate that justifies the present occupant giving 20,0001.
for the good w:l1), or else have to stop at Birmingham an
hour, when we don't want to stop at all—that a little artifi-
cial warmth during winter would not be unacceptable in this
climate - and that, finally, alter enduring all this and much
mere, it would be a more stenible plan to take our tickets
toward the latter end of the journey than to keen us wait-
ing sonic ten minutes outside the station while that enliven-
ing ceremony is being performed. The complaint of a tra-
veller that the draught is unpleasant in a long undivided
carriage would apparently be met by giving each double seat
a blind, which might be drawn at pleasure, but we do not
think there is much weight in this objection, or the Ameri-
cans, who provide ice water in summer, and a place of con-
venience for the comfort of their passengers, would not tole-
rate such an arrangement.—Artizan.
MAGNIFICENT SPECIMEN OY NEEDLEWORK.—Oge
of the most most ingenious and wonderful artistic productions
of the kind which we have ever seen has this week been
laid before us by a journeyman tailor, residing in Lancaster,
who intends exhibiting it in the "crystal palacelincelptBsoln
The name of the tailor is Brayshaw, and his work consists of
a counterpane, on which with the needle he bas"wrought a
great variety of artistic designs—designs which, ex
close inspection, could not be attributed to anything but Vie
[pencil of a painter. The colours are beautifully varied; ald
contrasted, and consist of pieces of cloth so nit pond &I to
itli9ttli groups and figures,—Carlisle Journal,
