RUMOURED DEATH OF MR. JUSTICE ERSKINE.—
It was currently reported in Westminster Hall that
Mr. Justice Erskine died this morning. The repot
is without foundation.

We are glad to learn, that Mr. Percival Bankes, the
barrister, is likely to be appointed successor to the
late, Mr. O'Hanlon, as Counsel to the Irish Go-
vernment. He belongs, of course, to the party
which support the Government, but he is not a man
of bigoted politics—he has ever been consistent, he
has distinguished himself by many excellent articles
in a periodical publication of high eminence ; but,
what is of more importance, he is a good lawyer; he
is on the best terms with the leaders of the Liberal
party in Ireland, and his appointment would meet with
the approbation of his opponents. Mr. Eneas M'Donnell
is said to be the only candidate that stands in his
way; but will Sir James Graham give another im-
pulse to public feeling against the Home-office—will
he add oil to the flame which burns with such vigour
in Ireland—by giving his support to one who was in
former times the most determined' friend of the Irish
Catholics, and is now more hostile to them than even
Lord Roden or Mr. Plumptre ?

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLI9.—There has been
a considerable increase in the number of deaths during
the last week. The total number was 920, while
during the previous week it was only 855. This in-
crease has been caused chiefly by deaths from small-
pox, scarlatina, croup, and violent deaths. Of the 30
persons who died from small-pox, 16 had not been
vaccinated. The following is the analysis of the
violent deaths :—Fracture or contusion, 23 cases, of
which 13 were from falls, 6 from animals and car-
riages, and 1 from machinery ; burns, 7 ; scald, 1 ;
drowning, 8 ; and 6 from suicide. The thermometer
was highest on Saturday, 79.6, and lowest on Mon-
day, 46.8 degrees. The total amount of rain in inches
was only 0.1.

CLERKE NWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
George Bathg, ali 'as Flonton, a cab-driver, badge 687, was
charged with being drunk, and assaulting police•constables
72 G and 223 G.

It appeared from t is e evidence that, this morning between
one and two o'clock, tthe constables found the prisoner lying
drunk in the carriag, r way, and tearing he would be run over,
they aroused him. Ile ruffiian, instead of feeling grateful
for the service done him, had no sooner got upon his legs,
than lie aimed a deg perate Wow at 72 G, and such was his
violence that it reqf tired the combined exertions of four con-
stables to take him to the station-house. On their way to
the station-house, ti to prisoner struck 223 G such a violent
blow, that he reeled over to the other side of the street. He
then aimed a kick a t a delicate and vital part of the person of
the other officer, bu t a smart blow of the truncheon on the
shin prevented its ta. k ing effect.
The prisoner, whet asked for his license as a cab driver,
said his master had .1 but, upon search, it was found in his
pocket.
Inspector Fletcher • said the prisoner was well known to
the police of the M 6 vision as a very forinidable character.
Police-constable & 2 G added that the prisoner had threat-
ened to murder him.

The prisoner was sentenced to pay a fine of IL, or suffer
a commensurate tern tof imprisonment. The Magistrate also
suspended his license for a fortnight.

UNION W ALL.-(THIS DAY.)

Susanuah Jupp, a 2 espectable-looking elderly woman, was
charged with stabbi a g her husband, who, however, was not
in attendance.

The policeman tt. at (NI, that hearing a cry of "murder" pro-
ceed from a house hit Wootton- street, Lambeth, the preceding
night, he entered rm d found a man bleeding from the arm,
and he pointed out 11,,e: prisoner, who was sitting crying in a
corner of the room, as the person who had wounded him.
The policeman adds id, that he then took thq prisoner into
custody, but the hushund had this morning expressed his
intention not to -appear against her. She was under the
effects of liquor at the tone.
Mr.'l'xaiLL said that the prisoner had placed herself in a
most perilous situation,. for if her husband attended, she
would be committed for trial, and if convicted, sentenced to a
severe punishment. llneler the circumstances, therefore, he
was compelled to dischargi her.
