MR. T. E. M. TunToN.—The above gentleman'
who, it may be recollected, accompanied the late Earl of
Durham as his private secretary to the Canadas, when
the latter nobleman sustained the highly responsible
office of Governor of those colonies, has for severs
months been labouring under very severe and painful
illness-4, and has been advised by his medical attendsnte
to repair to Malta for the benefit of his health, where
he is now sojourning. The office of Registrar of the
Supreme Court of Calcutta, which is at present enjoyed
by this Learned Gentleman, is considered to be the most
lucrative appointment which the Government can b‘stoW
upon an advocate practising at the bar of the above'
named presidency.

On the 6th September, an Italian boy and two girls,
with white mice and guinea pigs, were coming down the
New Steyne, when deceased and another lad teased the
Italian boy, by jeering, making grimaces, and uttering
some scraps of French, " parlezvous Francais," and the
like. The Italian became in a passion, and struck the
deceased, who thereupon returned the blow, when thes
Italian picked up a stone and threw it at him with get%
violence. Deceased was struck and knocked down, se'
the blood having been stopped, he was sent to the hell:
pital, where it was found that a small piece of the skill;
had been scooped out by the stone. The deceased gel
better, but on the ninth day fever supervened and cause:
death. A post mortem examination showed that al
stomach was healthy, and that an inflammation on ow
brain, produced by the stone, was the cause of death.
The Coroner explained that the offence was manslaughtfer;
but the inquest was adjourned till Thursday (to-day) for
