CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Monday afternoon an in-
quest was held by Mr. Higgs, at the Wilton Arms, Kinner •
ton-street, Wilton-place, Knightsbridge, on the body of Mrs.
Sarah M'Dowell, a widow lady of independent fortune, aged
50, who died at her residence, No. 1, Wilton-place, under
the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the deceased
was rather penurious in her habits, and most eccentric in her
manner. She occupied two houses—one in the King's-road,
Chelsea, and the other as abovementioned, residing alternately
at each for two or three week together. Sonic time since she
made her will, appointing her brother-in-law and Mr. Win.
Farren, the comedian, her executors. In this will she has
bequeathed portions of her property to his Royal Highness
Prince Albert and Lord John Russell, and some trinkets to
his Lordship's children. She also, a short time ago, sent a
very handsome present to his Grace the Duke of Wellington,
but which his Grace thought proper to return. This circum-
stance offended the deceased exceedingly, and she had fre •
quently since been heard to express her intention of never
doing anything for the Duke again. Jane Sherrard said she
was in the service of deceased. On Friday last, about 12
o'clock she was ordered by the deceased to clean out the
cistern, as the water was very dirty, and she added, "Mind
you do not fall in, Jane, or we shall have a coroner's inquest
on you." About half an hour after this, witness went into
deceased's bed-room, and found her bathing the back of her
head with vinegar. She observed that deceased looked very
ill, and wished to fetch a medical man, but she refused to
have one, saying, "It is only faintness ; I shall be better
presently." Witness then left her, and on going up again
some time after, found deceased lying on the sofa gasping for
breath. After some delay, as she had no one in the house,
she sent for a medical man ; and Mr. Henderson, of Bromp-
ton-row, attended, but before his arrival life was extinct.
Mr. W. Henderson, surgeon, of 13rompton-row, proved that
when he was called in deceased had ceased to exist. 'raking
all appearances into consideration, it was hip opinion that
death had resulted from disease of the heart. The jury,
after censuring the conduct of the female Sherrard for not
having sooner gone for medical aid, returned a verdict of
" Natural death."

To TAME A SAVAGE BULL.—Erasmus Galson, of
Loxton Manor House, near Cross, Somersetshire, has invented
a most valuable, though, at the same time, simple instru-
ment to prevent savage bulls from injuring persons or ani-
mals. Mr. G. has communicated his clever invention to the
Royal Agricultural Society, with the following remark :—" I
turned a three-year old savage bull with a cow into a pad-
dock, and also turned a yearling bull with them ; in a few
minutes the young bull found that lie was master and
punished the old one severely; and I was shortly after able
to take off the irons, and as long as I had him he never
offered to hurt a person, although when I bought him he had
tossed several persons, and was sold to me as incurable." The
instrument is made of a small iron rod and chain, the chain
end being fastened to a ring in the bull's nose, and the rod
hanging on a pivot fixed in an iron cap on the bull's horn.
The end of the rod projects some inches from the horn, and
whenever the animal attempts to toss, the end of the horn
coming in contact with any object is forced upwards or
downwards, and the bull's nose drawn up, by which the ani-
mal- is severely punished, and incapacitated through pain,
from committing mischief. Any blacksmith can make the
instrument, and its cost is not above five shillings.

EDINBURGH AND DALKEITH RAILWAY.—The lines
of this railway, from Edinburgh southward by Dal •
keith, and eastward to Musselburgh, have been pur-
chased by the Directors of the North British Railway,
for, we are told, the sum of 113,0001 This purchase,
we understand, became necessary in order to quash the
powerful opposition to the North British Railway of cer-
tain shareholders a the gainburgh and Dalkeith.—
