PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 18.—The remains of Captain
Charles Robinson Miller, of the Royal Marines, were
this afternoon interred in the garrison chapel, with
the military honours due to his rank.
DARING AND EXPERT ROBBERY.—Yesterday
afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a daring robbery was
committed in the house of George Gurland, Esq., a gentleman re.
siding in Queen Anne's-street, Cavendish.square. It appears that
a man, having the appearance of a porter at a coach-office, car-
rying a brown paper parcel in his hand, called at Mr. Cfurland's
residence shortly before three o'clock, and, on being answered by
the female domestic, demanded a shilling for the porterage of the
parcel, stating that he had brought it from the White Horse
Cellar, Piccadilly. The girl proceeded up stairs to her mistress
to procure the money, and, during her temporary absence, the fel-
low contrived to walk off with a valuable French timepiece, stand.
ing upon a bracket he the hall, a silk umbrella, and a light Tag-
hoot, which was hanging upon a peg, and with which articles he
contrived to effect his retreat. Upon the parcel being opened it
was found to contain a quantity of old rags and pieces of cloth.
THE ROUND CHURCH AT CAMBRIDGE.—The hand-
some iron palisading in front of this edifice is now completed, and
presents a very imposing appearance. The communion table and
altar rails have also been put up, and the church will shortly be re.
opened for service.

STURGEON CAUGHT IN THE RIVER LEA.—Yester-
day a gentleman named Parkas, residing in Little Knight Rydcr-
street, Doctors' Commons, whilst fishing in a branch of the river
Lea, near the Temple Mills, in the Hackney Marshes, observed a
fish of considerable size lying in a quiescent state in rather shallow
water. He procured a small harpoon from the proprietor of the
Temple Mills Tavern, with which he succeeded in striking it near
its tail. With assistance he got it to the bank, when it proved to be
a fine young sturgeon, of the weight of sixteen pounds and a half.
It is a singular fact that, during the past month, no fewer than
four other fish of the same species have been caught near the
same spot.

ATT EMPTED SUICIDE BY HANGING.--Yesterday
morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a most determined attempt
at suicide was made by a young man, named Edward Mildmay,
residing in Wells-street, Oxford street. It appears that the
young man has been in a very desponding state for some time,
owing to the loss of a sum of money belonging to his employer, and
in consequence of being discharged from his situation. Yesterday
morning his brother, hearing an unusual noise in the bedroom,
went up and discovered his unfortunate relative suspended by a
sash line to a hook in the wall, and in the agonies of death ; he im-
mediately cut him down, and, medical aid being called in, after
some time he was fortunately restored; he has since expressed
regret at the rashness of his attempt.

ACCIDENT TO THE HON. MR. GRIMSTON —A se—
rious accident occurred to the Hon. Mr. Grimston, of the Cold.
stream Regiment of Foot Guards, stationed at Windsor, while
bathing in the Thames, in the immediate vicinity of that town, in
company with the Earl of Caledon, on the morning of Saturn.).
last. It appears that the Hon. Gentleman, in Lakin what is
termed " a header" from off the bank, struck his head with fear-
ful violence against either a large atone or the rugged trunk of a
tree at the bottom, rendering him apparently lifeless, and totally
helpless. The Earl of Caledon, perceiving that his friend, when
he rose to the surface, was in a state of insensibility, lost no time
in jumping into the river and dragging him on shore. It was
then not until after the lapse of a quarter of an hour that he
was restored to a state of consciousness. He was then conveyed
to his apartments at the infantry barracks its Sheet-street. Some
most alarming symptoms shortly afterwards manifested themselves,
it was jadgcd expedient to send an express to Grosvenor-square,
to summon his father, the Earl of Verulam to Windsor. The gal-
vanic telegraph from Slough to Paddington was immediately put
into requisition, and in less than an hour and a half afterwards his
Lordship was by the bedside of his son. The painful and alarm-
ing symptoms still increasing, it was deemed advisable to call in the
aid of Dr. Ferguson. The galvanic telegraph was again resorted
to, and Dr. Ft rguson speedily arrived, when he found Mr. Grim.
ston in a state of delirium. Yesterday morning a favourable change
had taken place; the patient having passed a good night, and en-
joyed some refreshing sleep. He is pronounced by his medical et.
tendants to be now free from danger.

ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUlClDE.—Yesterday
morning, about twelve o'clock, the inhabitants of Nottingham.
street, Bethnal-green, were alarmed by the screams of a female, and
in a few seconds a woman rushed out of No. 5 deluged in blood,
from a frightful wound in the throat, indicted by her husband
with a shoemaker's knife. She was immediately taken to the sur.
gery of Dr. Moore, and the wounds were dressed by his principal
assistant, Mr. Cooper. During the interval, the man, whose name
is Warren, cut his own throat in so severe a manner that he was
supposed to be dead; but on examining him at the London Hos-
pital, to which he was immediately taken, life was not extinct. He
now lies there in a hopeless state. Jealousy of his wife, who is
an interesting looking female, twenty years of age, is stated to be
the cause ; and from all that can be ascertained, without founda.
tion.

DEATH OF TILE COUNTESS OF AIRLIE.—This ami-
able lady was confined with twins at Kemp.town, Brighton, on
Monday, and on the following day she died. The Countess of
Airlie was married to the Earl of Airlie on the 15th of Novem-
ber, 1838, and has left four children.

We regret to hare to announce the death of the
Rev. Mr. Barham, better known to the literary world as the
author of the " Ingoldsby Legends," and of one of the most po-
pular of our modern novels, " Cousin Nicholas." Mr. Barham
died at his residence in Amen-corner, St. Paul's, after a short but
severe illness. It seldom falls to the lot of a journalist to record
the death of a gentleman who snore thoroughly combined high
and distinguished talents with all the social ♦irtues and qualities.
Those who had the happiness of knowing the deceased, will read of
his death with unfeigned sorrow, and sympathise with the mem-
bers of his family in their deep affliction.

THE WATERLOO BANNER.—WINDSOR, WEDNES-
DAY.—This being the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, the
tricoloured banner by which his Grace the Duke of Wellington
holds Strathfleldsaye, was duly presented at the Castle, and placed
in the Guard Chamber, over the bust of the immortal hero, by
Mr. William Moore, being the thirtieth banner brought by this
gentleman.
IMPORTATION OF DUTCH CATTLE, &C.—Yesterday
the Dutch steam-packet, Batavier, Captain David Dunlop, arrived
alongside the St. Katharine's Steam-packet Wharf from Rotterdam.
She brought sixty-seven live oxen and cows, and upwards of seven
hundred live ducks, geese, hens, Sm. The influx of poultry from
the Continent every week has considerably reduced its price in the
markets.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning, between
eight and nine o'clock, an accident occurred by the sudden fall of a
portion of the intt riur of the Old Greyfriars Church, which has
for some time been in course of restoration, in consequence of the
damage sustained from the late fire, whereby one man lost his life,
end three others were severely injured.—Edinburgh Paper.
