SINGULAR DEATH FROM HASTILY TARING OFF A
SrocKlNo.—On Friday night Mr. Baker held an inquest at the City
Arms, Mill-wall, Poplar, on the body of Margaret Sellatt, aged 75
years, the wife of the Superintendent on board the ship Waterloo,
lying in the West India South Dock. It appeared by the evidence
that about ten days ago, deceased had burst the fibular artery on the
instep of the left leg. Proper remedies were applied, and the bleed-
ing was staunched. On Wednesday evening her husband left her to
attend to his duty. On his return to his cabin in about a quarter of
an hour, he found her undressed and seated in a chair apparently
quite dead ; upwards of a quart of blood had issued from her instep.
Her left stocking had jest betbre been removed from her foot. Mr.
Baillie, surgeon, st2ted that he was called to deceased. He found
her quite dead. Upon examining her log he found that the recent
wound had broken out afresh, and that hastily removing her stock-
ing from her swelled leg had removed the scar from the wound, and
the artery had recommenced bleeding. Witness attributed death to
exhaustion caused by excessive hannorrhage —Verdict in accordance
wills the medial testimony.
HER MAJESTY'S STEAM YACHTS AT TREPORT.—
When the Victoria and Albert royal yacht, and her little tender the
Fairy, were at Treport, the French Royal Family were much pleased
with their appearance, but especially with that of the Fairy, built of
iron, and propelled by the screw. The Prince de Joiuville visited the
Fairy frequont'y, and on one occasion with Prince Albert, when his
Royal Highness introduced Mr. Penn, the constructor of the engines
of the Fairy, who, by royal command, was on board that vessel
during her Majesty's visit to the continent. Mr. Penn accompanied
that gallant young Admiral the French Prince all over the little

TIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1845.

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY
RAILWAY.
The first general meeting of the Shareholders in this Com-
pany was held yesterday in the Hall of Commerce, for the
purpose of having the report of the Directors submitted to
them, and for the transaction of other business.
P. S. Butler, Esq , M.P. for Kilkenny, was called to
the chair.
The CHAIRMAN said, that after the report should have
been read by the secrerary, he might perhaps offer a few re-
marks upon it, but he thought that everything would be
found so fully detailed in it that his observations would be
rendered unnecessary.
The SECRETARY (Mr. Prosser) then read the report, the
substance of which was as follows :—" The Directors, after
congratulating the Shareholders on the prosperous nature of
the undertaking, went on to say that the total receipts as
vet had been some 12,5001., and the expenditure above 5,0001.,
leaving a balance, in round numbers, of 7,000/. They had
met with very little opposition in Parliament, and the share
market exhibited an increasing confidence on the part of the
public in the undertaking."
The CHAIRMAN, in a brief speech, adverted to the past
history of the Company, and argued the continued success
of it from the good reputation it had hitherto borne both
in that country and in Ireland. His humble efforts had
been given to it from the first, and he could assure tht Di-
rectors that his exertions should be continued in the future
as ill the past time.
Mr. JOHN TEMPLETON moved, and Mr. CLIFFORD seconded,
the adoption of the report.—Agreed to.
Mr. HADDEre proposed that Mr. Webster, of Great George-
street, and Mr. George Bain, of Parliament-street, be elected
auditors, and that the remuneration be 15 guineas each per
annum.—Agreed to.
Lieutenant- Colonel Johnson moved and Mr. Middleton se-
conded a resolution, that 800/. per annum should be laid
aside as a remuneration to the Directors.—Carried.
It was resolved, on the motion of Mr. Green, seconded by
Mr. Smith, that a salary of 3001. per annum be allowed to
the secretary of the Company.
Thanks were then voted to the officers of the Company;
and, on the motion' of Barry Baldwin, Esq.,lM.P., to the
Chairman, when the meeting broke up.

A NEW CHRISTIAN NAME.—At our police-office
on Saturday a member of the Metropolitan Police force was exa.
mined respecting the apprehension of a female named Wiggle, who
was brought up on a charge of felony. In the course of his
evidence the policeman said, " I asked the prisoner if her name was
A-li-us Wiggle." " A what ?" exclaimed the Bench, simultane-
ously " A-li-us." repeated the witness, no doubt wondering at
the mental obtuseness of our provincial justices. " Elias," sug-
gested their worships, " why, it's a female." " A-11-us," main-
tained the man," here it is in the letter;" and the sapient mem-
ber of the Metropolitan Police force forthwith plunged his hands
into the depths of his trousers pocket, from which he extracted a
written document, and handed it over to the astonished magis-
trates. The mystery was then soon unriddled ; for the letter
directed the constable to apprehend a person named " Tilly, alias
Wiggle."—Cheltenham Journal.
BLOCKADE OF THE SREETS.—A great deal has
been said about the glorious three days of the barricades at Paris,
but what ought to be said about the three weeks of ba-ricading to
which the principal thoroughfares of London have been already
subjected? The pass of Fleet-street is stopped—the great hill of
1 Holborn is blocked up—and Piccadilly has fallen into the hands of
the paviors, who hold possession of it with an obstinacy that
would do honour to a better cause. As to Napoleon's achieve-
ment in forcing a passage over the Alps, it was an easy process
compared with the difficulty which he would have found in carry-
ing his cohort,: over Holborn-hill, or leading his legions along
Fleet-street. We cannot understand the policy of keeping the
great London thoroughfares continually blockaded, unless it be to
harass an invading enemy; for, supposing Joinville and his party
to arrive in the metropolis by the Dover Railway, they would
naturally make for the Regent's-circus, and being hemmed in by
wheelbarrows in front, they might be surprised in the rear by a
regiment turning suddenly round the corner of Jermyn-street.
This precaution is all very well as far as a foreign foe is concerned,
but it is very inconvenient to a native omnibus and its cargo of
British passengers, who are carried considerably out of their way
by the main thoroughfares being rendered impassable.—Punch.
NEW ACT FOR THE GRANTING OF LEASES.—On
the Ist proximo, " An Act to facilitate the granting of certain
leases" is to take effect. It contains eight short provisions, with
two schedules. The object of this new law seems to be to shorten
leases for lands and tenements. A very short form indeed may be
used; and it is provided, that in future leases, unless specially
excepted, shall be deemed to include all outhouses, buildings, &c.,
belonging or otherwise appertaining. The remuneration for
preparing and executing so short a deed is not to be paid by the
length (shortness), but the taxing master is to consider the skill
and labour employed, and the responsibility incurred in the pre-
paration thereof. Any deed which shall fail to take effect under
this Act shall bind the parties as if the Act had not been
made. The Act is not to extend to Scotland.
Loss OF LIFE THROUGH THE BONE OF A HERRING.
—An inquest was held by Mr. Mills, at the St. John of Jerusalem,
St. John-street, on the body of Mr. Feeney, printer, aged
30, late of No. 20, St. John.street. Last Thursday week de-
ceased was eating a red herring, when one of its bones sticking in
his throat caused him to cough so violently that a spitting of blood
followed. On the following morning his foreman went to deceased's
bed-room, when he found him dead in bed and covered with blood,
which, it was supposed, he spat in a renewed fit of coughing, and
which, from want of assistance, choked him. Verdict—" Natural
Death."
The steam-ship Unicorn, Captain Douglas, arrived
in the Mersey from Halifax on Thursday morning, bringing advices
from that port to the 28th ult. inclusive. They do not contain
any intelligence of interest.
ARRIVAL OF CATTLE AND SHEEP FROM HOLLAND.
—Thursday morning three large Dutch steam-vessels arrived in
the Thames from Holland, having on board between 400 and 500
sheep and 200 oxen, which were safely landed, for the London
market. Another portion of the cargo consisted of cheese and
butter of excellent quality.
A YOUNG LADY FOUND IN THE THAMES.—Thurs-
day morning, at half-past nine o'clock, some watermen dis-
covered the body of a young lady in the Thames, off Billingsgate
dock. The deceased appeared to be about twenty years of age,
dark eyes, hair, and complexion ; was attired in a purple speckled
cotton gown, black crape bonnet, black boots, and white stockings,
linen not marked, gold earrings, coral necklace, and two gold rings
on her fingers, and a pair of black kid gloves on her hands. The
body was removed to the workhouse of St. Mary-at-Hid, to await
a coroner's inquest.
DEATH OF COLONEL CROMWELL MASSEY.— On the
Bth instant died, at St. Lawrence, Ramsgate, aged 103, Colonel
Cromwell Massey, late of the Hon. East India Company's service.
He was a combatant on the 10th of September, 1780, in the san-
guinary battle of Perimbancum, in Mysore, against the forces of
Hyder Ally, when he, with Colonel Baillie, Captain (afterwards
Sir David) Baird, and about 200 British soldiers, were taken pri-
soners. Without ammunition, their waggons being accidentally
blown up, they formed themselves, under the fire of the enemy's
numerous artillery, into a square, and there resisted and repulsed
thirteen different attacks, until borne down and trampled upon, and
still fighting under the legs of the elephants and horses, they were
compelled to surrender, and were thrown, chained together two
and two, into Hyder's dungeons at Seringapatam, suffering from
their wounds, without surgical care, almost naked, exposed to pri-
vations, cruel indignities, and ill-treatment, and remained cap-
tives for three years and nine months, when Hyder's death led to
their release.
THE GIPSY KING AND HIS CAMP.—lnformation
has been sent to the police of an enormous amount of property
found in the possession of a gipsy of the name of Lee, who is
said to be the king of that tribe, and which for the most part l 3
supposed to have come from the neighbourhood of London. It
would take up too much space to enumerate all the articles found in
this man's camp ; but a statement of a few will give some notion of
his possessions. Three silver watches, two silver table-spoons with
initials, eight silver tea-spoons with separate marks, two silver
mustard.spoons, two silver knives, a gold brooch, two riding-
whips silver mounted, a stock of brass and copper kettles, stew-pans,
&c. ; a splendid dinner and tea service of china, eighteen silk
handkerchiefs, various patterns ; thirty-seven ladies' gowns, silk
and cotton ; coats and other wearing apparel ; a set of window-
curtains, two five-pound notes, and a vast deal of other valuable
property, for which it is desirable to find owners. The " king"
is in custody.
A 'TRAVELLER MISSING.—Thursday, information
was lodged at the Newcastle Police-office that Wm. Levett, a tra-
veller to the firm of Johnson, Cammell, and Co., of Sheffield, and
who was last seen on the 25th ult., in the George Hotel, in this
town, has since been missing. His desk and trunks, which were
at the George Hotel, have been opened, and his accounts found
apparently correct. Levett is a young man, twenty-six years of
age, sallow complexioned, and about the middle height.—Tyne
Mercury Wednesday.
HONESTY REWARDED.—On Thursday morning, be-
tween nine and ten o'clock, a poor man name Thomas Jennings,
residing at Knightsbridge, picked up a purse in the Hammersmith.
road, containing a five-pound note, four sovereigns, and a quantity
of silver. He had not proceeded far when he met a lady seemingly
in great anxiety, looking for something on the ground. Jennings
inquired if she had lost anything, and being satisfied from her an-
swers that the purse and its contents were hers, heat once restored
them, when the lady generowly presented him with one shilling as
a reward for his honesty;l
THE LATE SIR POWELL BUKTON.—It has been
resolved to erect, by public subscription, a monument in Westmin-
ster Abbey to the memory of that distinguished philanthropist, Sir
Thomas Fowell Buxton. It is intended to limit the subscription to
2/. 25., that all who have admired the indefatigable zeal of this
great man, in his efforts to extinguish the slave trade, may have an
opportunity of expressing their respect to his memory. Foremast
amongst those who have expressed their concurrence in the object,
are the Bishop of London and six other prelates ; Lord John Rus-
sell, Lord Ashley, the Duke of Sutherland, the Marquisses of Chol-
mondeley and Breadalbane, the Earls of Jermyn and Chichester,
and one not less celebrated and esteemed than the object of the sub-
scription, but who has since gone to his final resting place—we
mean Earl Grey,
