SUICIDE.—This morning, about half-past six
o'clock, Mr. H. Barwell, potato-dealer and green-grocer,
No. 42, New-cut, Lambeth,. committed suicide. The
unfortunate man arose at his usual hour for going to
market, six :p!elock, and about an hour afterwards the
shopman knocked at his room door, when the unfortu-
nate man was discovered with his head nearly severed
from his body. :An alarm was instantly raised, and seve-
ral medical gentlemen were in. immediate attendance,
but of course their services were useless. From in-
quiries made on the spot, it was stated that the deceased
had, within the last few days, been its a very low. spirited
state of mind, but not of, a. nature to excite any ap-
prehension.
BRUTAL EXHIBITION.—A prize fight, be-
tween two men, termed " the light weights of the ring,"
named Walker and. Mason, alias the " Bull-dog," took
place on Tuesday last, for 60/. a side, at a spot called
Heneker's Lodge, about two miles from Oakingham, in
Berkshire. The fight, which lasted for upwards of an
hour and a quarter, during which considerable punish-
ment was administered on both sides, terminated in fa-
vour of Walker. Before the affair was over, both eyes
of Mason were completely closed, and the other worthy
had broken his thumb. Nothwithstanding the losing man
Was " stone blind" during, the last round which was
fought, he refused to ". give in," and was ultimately
obliged to .be dragged away by his seconds. Walker,
with the exception of his broken thumb, escaped coin-
aratively uninjured.
LIBERALITY OF THE CLOTHWORKERS'
CoMPANY.—Yesterday. the poorer debtors 'confined in
the Queen's ' Bench prison received five shillings each
from the Clothworkers' Company, through the hands of
Mr. Chapman, the Marshal, who recently, at his own
expense, distributed a liberal supply of coals amongst the
same distressed individuals.
THE FROST ON THE RAILWAYS.—Such was
the slippery stase of the rails upon the Eastern Counties
line on Thursday last, that the evening •train was with
difficulty conveyed from Romford to the Brentwood ter-
minus at a very reduced•rate of travelling, with the aid
of three engines. The same -.difficulty has presented it-
self, more or less upon 'all the lines, the engines being at
times only made to progress at starting by manual labour.
The Diaro of Seville says that the students of
the University in that town have determined on adopting
the large old Spanish hat, called the sombrero, of the time,
of Philip 11., with a feather, as a means of giving thein-
selves a sin.gular appearance.
THE ENGLISH OAK.—Even when it has
been cut down and stripped of what 'Cowper called " its
latitude of boughs," the oak still carries with it a prin-
ciple of life : it may. almost be said to last as long
when it is dead as when it is alive. In ancient
churches and halls we frequently notice the wonderful
beauty and freshness of its appearance. The doors of
the inner chapels of Westminster Abbey are 1,200 years
old. The oak table in Winchester Castle, which tradi-
tion associates with the history of Arthur, has probably
lasted a thousand years.
