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. Ourland'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 is the hall, a silk umbrella, and a light Tag.
lioni, 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.
DEATH OF THR COUNTESS OP 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.
STURGEoN CAUGHT IN THE RIVER Ll:A.—Yester-
day a gentleman named Parkes, residing in Little Knight Ryder-
street, Doctors' Commons, whilst fishing In a branch of the river
Lett, near the Temple Mills, in the Hackney Marshes, observed a
fish of considerable size lying in et quiescent slate in rather
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.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY HANGlNG.—YeSterday
morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a most determined attempt
at suicide was made by a young man, named Edward Mildmal.
residing in We!ls street, Oxford street. It appears that the
3oung man has been in a very desponding elate for some time,
owing to the loss of a sum of money belonging to his employer, and
in consegu?nce 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 ;ins 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
sonic time he wan fortunately restored; he has since expressed
regret at the rashness of his attempt.
114N1 To 11l I; i iON. MR. GRIMSTON, —A
rious accident occurred to the Hon. Mr. Grimston, of the Cold.
stream Regiment of Foot Gua,ds, 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 Saturday
last. It appears that the Hon. Gentleman, in taking what is
termed " a header" from off the bank, struck his head with fear-
ful violence against either a large stone 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 ta 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 in Sheet.street. Some
most alarming symptoms shortly afterwards manifested themselves,
it was judged 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. Ferguson 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 at.
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, inflicted by her husband
with a shoemaker's knife. She was iminesliately 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 lie 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.

We regret to have to announce the death of the
Rev. Mr. Barham, better known to the literary world as the
author of the " lugoldsby Legends," and of one of the moat 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 more thoroughly combined high
and distinguished talents with all the social virtues 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

•
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 decks, geese, hens, &c. The influx of poultry from
the Continent every week has considerably reduced Its price in the
markets.
