Goon News, IF TRUE.—The trustworthy meteorolo-
gical correspondent of the Times, who signs " H. P.,"

with occasional electric currents, with hail-storms and
thunder. June bids fair to be a very fine month.
A Lucky SPECULATION.—Mrs. Jane Rutherford, of

subscription to the Pictorial Times, had paid to her
£lOOO on Monday week ; the above receipt being one of
the fortunate numbers to which a prize was awarded.

ted on Wednesday evening in favour of Pilch's eleven,
who won, after a hard contest, by 34 run.. they scoring
202 runs, while Mr. Felix's side scored 175. The play

A young woman, at the new spa, Croft, near Darling-
ton, was struck by the electric fluid, in a thunder storm
there, on yesterday week, and was rendered quite blind
and totally insensible for some time. Violent convul-
sions ensued ; but by the prompt application of remedial
means, the girl was soon pronounced to be out of danger.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Wednesday, it was dis-
covered that a murder had been perpetrated by a tailor of
the name of John Townrey, upon his wife, living at 13,
Widegate-street, Bishop-gate-street Without. London.
The unfortunate woman it appears was strangled. It
would seem that the husband immediately afterwards
hung himself. lie had just returned from transportation.
ANOTHER DEATH FROM A BULL.—Mr. Meggs, a
Nurseryman, of Cheltenham, was on Saturday week,
killed by an Alderney bull, which was in a field near that
town. It appears that he struck the animal with a small
stick in order to drive it away, when the bull threw him
down, and trampled upon his chest, from the effects of
which death ensued in ten minutes after he was rescued.
EXTRAORDINARY ROSE TREE.—A correspondent of a
Manchester paper states that there is at present growing
in Sale, a tree bearing 8,000 roses of a rare kind. It was
planted in May. 1841, being then a small slip seven inches
long, without roots. It now measures 69 feet in width,
and 38 feet in height. One branch grew 12 feet 6 inches
last year, and is now covered with roses. _

DEPRESSION OF THE COAL TRADE.—The best Walls-
end coals, which under the regulations of the coal trade
were supplied at thirty shillings and sixpence per New-
castle chaldron of two tons thirteen hundred weight, are
now sold at twenty shillings and sixpence. When the coal
owners have to freight ships to carry their coals either to
London or any of the outports they almost invariably fail
in obtaining even the above-named reduced price for this
staple commodity of the North. So much fora free trade
in coals I

A singular robbery of wines has lately been brought to
light at Eirstall. H. Paget, Esq., left his house at that
place to reside at Leicester. He had then about 150 dozen
of wines and liquors in his cellar, which he did net wish to
remove, and therefore caused the door of the cellar to be
built up with double bricks. Sending over a few days ago,
it was discovered that nearly all had been stolen, the door
being built up with bricks as before. The loss will amount
to £250; but no trace of the perpetrators has yet been
found.

A DES#ERATE THlEF.—Sergeant Cortrack, of Rises,
has just captured a very notorious and not less violent

housebreaker, from Bristol, named George Glover, alias
Williams, who had broken into the house of John Da-
v;es, Monythusloyne. The capture was effected in water
five feet deep, where the housebreaker knocked down the
(Ayer two or three tunes, but at length the latter was
enabled to master him, and keep him under the water for
a few minutes, sufficiently long to weaken him till assist-
ance arrived.—Hereford Journal.
On Tuesday, a trial at the Middlesex sessions was

stopped by a juryman, who informed the magistrates that
a person was improperly acting as a juror, and had ans-
wered to the name of another man. On investigation.
this turned out to be correct, and a man named Smith was
taken into custody, and remanded until the ma

Mr George Davis, who had directed him to attend the
court in his stead, and uersona:e him on the jury, was
also summoned, and fined £lO.

The grand challenge cnp, value UM guineas, of the
Royal Thames Yacht Club, was won on Friday by.the
yacht Secret, the property of J. W. Smith, Esq., beatine
five others. The beaten yachts were only respectively six
or seven minutes behind the victor. The start took place
at twelve o'clock, off the Royal Hospital, Greenwich, to
below Gravesend and back. The cup, which was first
sailed for in 1840, has every year been won by a different
yacht, and ►emains the property of the club until some
fortunate boat obtains the prize in two consecutive years.
BIRMINGHAM A GREATCENTRAL MILITARY DEPOT
—ll has been stated in Birmingham this week, in quarters
likely to be well-informed, that Government intend to
erect the military station there into a grand central dep6•,
and to remove to it the greater part of the troy ps now
stationed at Weedon. The central position of Birming.

haul, communicating as it now does
.by.railway with all
the princip ports in England, has, it is thought, sug-
gested the propriety and advantage of making it the seat
of a central depot, inasmuch as, at a moment's notice,
troops might thence be despatched. and landed is a few
hours in any part of Scotland. England. or Ireland.
THE IIYDROPATHIC SYSTEM.—On Friday, an inquest
was held in Eastcheap, London, on the body of Mr.
Richard Dresser, at No. 9, in the same street. Tte
greatest interest was manifested on the occasion. becau.e
it had been generally reported that the deceased had died
owing to improper treatment received at a hydropathic
.it. 4 -

ebtablishmen A paper was read, o. Jing the cans,
of Mr. Dresser's death. The surgeon who had at-
tended Mr. Dresser, prior to bii admitMnce as a cn1(1-
water patient, deposed that he thought. there had been
congestion of the lungs when the wet cloths were appited,
and it the water were cold it would generev produce heat.

In these ca-es there should be the appliramon of hot flan-
nels and stimulants, so as to restore circulation. The in-
quest was tub' urned.
THE POTATO CROP.—The season being now suffici-
ently far advanced to enable farmers to judge of the st tte
of the potato crop, we hare been enabled to obtain such
inrormation as goes to show that, although in some
tricts a partial failure has taken place. the general aspect
of the plant is of a promising character. In Warwick-
shire, where the disease was severely felt last year, there
have been no blanks worth notice. In Derbyshire, there
are no complaints. and in the potato districts of York-
shire, on which the London market chiefly depends fur a
supply of the esculent, the crop never wore a more
healthy appearance. From the accounts in the Scotch
papers, it would seem that no trace of the disease has ma-
nifested itself. although it was feared that the seed was in
some cases tolerably damaged. and put into the ground
without much hope that it would spring freely.—Morning
Chronicle.

June 9, 1f446.

THE ASH AND THE OAK.—A correspondent who last
year anticipated a wet summer because the usual-prognos-
ticator of such a season had appeared in the ash opening
its leaf before the oak, expresses confidence in the preva-
lence of dry weather generally throughout the present
summer, because he has this year (as on many similar oc-
casions) observed the oak to be considerably in a4vance of
the ash.

Last week an apprentice to Mr. Warner, ironmonger,
of Thasted, near Chelmsford, attempted to assassinate
his master by firing at him, but the barrel of the gun
burst, and the assassin's hand was so dreadfully shattered
that two of his fingers had to be taken off. Tne appren-
tice had been discharged by his master, who declined to
give him a good character. The youth has been remanded
by the magistrates.

A NOVEL TEAM.—A plan is in practice at Bampton,
of drilling turnips between peas, the rows of peas having
been planted rather wider than usual : we hear the plan
is likely to become a general one, but a difficulty is expe-
rienced in using a horse with the drill on account of da-
maging the peas. This difficulty has been surmounted by
our neighbour, Mr. Plummer ; he attaches two dogs to
the drill' who have quite strength enough to perform the
duty required, and do not damage the peas. This method
is seen to work well and not to injure the dogs, as the
draught of the drill is a very light one.
Loss OF THREE CHILDREN.—On Wednesday, three
young children belonging to a coal heaver, named White-
house, were amusing on the bank of a large sewer at Pim-
lico, by catching corks that came from a brewery close by,
when they all fell in ; a poor little boy, only eight years of
age, immediately jumped into the water, being about two
feet deep, and succeeded in bringing one on shore; but not
before life was extinct in the poor little sufferer; another
of the sufferers was taken out in an exhausted stale, and
taken to the hospital, but with no hopes of recovery (since
deed). The body of the other has not yet been found.

RKMARICABLE CURB.—A rich farmer, labouring under
hypochondriasis, was persuaded by his friends that he was
bewitched. He accordingly consulted a physician, and
gravely informed him that he had seven devils in his body.
" Only seven?" "No, sir, only seven." The physician,
perceiving the mental condition of his patient, promised
to cure him in seven days, and drive out a devil every
morning for 20 francs a-piece. The farmer consented,
and received a powerful shock from an electric apparatus.
" There's one gone," exclaimed the physician. The next
day the same plan was adopted, and so continued until
the seven days were elapsed, when the bewitched patient
declared himself cured, and willingly paid the fee, which
was_ immediately bestowed in charity.— Globe.

MESSRS. SIMMONDS AND WARD'S COLONIAL, FO-
REIGN, AND GENERAL MERCANTILE AGENCY, 6,
BARGE•YARD, BUCKLERSBURY, LONDON.—The enter-
prising and liberal arrangements of Messrs. Simmonds
and Ward, for facilitating the course of foreign and colo-
nial mercantile and other information, and aiding in the
transaction of business itself, are a feature of the present
age. 'We recommend those interested in our colonies, or
in foreign commerce, to inspect the circular of this firm.
In the advertising and newspaper department especially,
it is complete ; and parties emigrating, or desirous of
having their business, or other views, advanced on their
arrival in this country from foreign ports, will do well to
avail themselves of the extensive experience which Messrs.
Simaaoods and Ward possess in all such matters. Their
reading-room end library in Bucklerabury will be found a
most useful resort for parties interested in our foreign or
colonial trade.

MAN KILLED IN YORK.—On Tuesday last, at the
Guildhall, York, Alexander Swann was charged with
having caused the death of Joseph Shepherd. a tailor,
from :Marston. Mr. Chalk stated that a number of per-
sons were dancing at the " Gate " beer-house, Middle
Water Lane on the previous night, between ten and ele-
ven o'clock, and among the rest was a female named Ann
Barnard. She was without her shoes, when Shepherd got
hold of one of them, and, whether in jest or otherwise,
struck the female on the shoulder. She sat down by the
aide of the prisoner and related to him what bad pa.sed,
and he said he would give Shepherd it, or something to
that effect. A few minutes afterwards he got up, and, as
he (Mr. Chalk) understood, struck the deceased once oft
the aide and once on the temple, and after that blow Shep-
herd never breathed again. He had informed the Coro-
der of what had taken place, and he now asked that the
prisoner might be remanded till the inquiry before the
coroner was concluded. The prisoner was remanded ac-

cordingly.
A royal sturgeon, of the extraordinary length of eight,'
feet six inches, girth three feet, and weight one hundred
and eighty-two pounds, was caught in the liver Wye.
near Hereford, last week. A fish of such dimensions was
never caught so far up that river before, and a severe
struggle took place between the fish and the man who cap-
tured it, for the victory. After a chase and struggle of
half an hour, the man at last inflicted in succession two
deep wounds with a pocket knife which he carried with
him, but still the creature evinced no disposition to give
in. During the struggle which took place in the ford.
which was about knee deep, sometimes the man was up-
permost and sometimes the fish. The biped and inve-
terate foe, however, though no little astonished, inserted
his hand into one of the gashes towards the tail, from
which the crimson tide lowed copiously, and was at last
enabled to land his prize, which did not finally give oP
the ghost for some hours after.
SINGULAR DISCOVERT.—On removing the old oak
stalls from the chancel of St. Mary's church, Nottiwg-
ham, preparatory to the repairing of the roof, a sculptured
tablet of marble was discovered, buried with its face
downward, whilh probably has been lying there since the
period of the Reformation. It is a spirited and well-
executed bas relz9f, consisting of eight figures, shish re-
present the Pope seated on a canopied and elevated throne,
inaugurating a bishop—probably the bishop of the diocese.
Besides the Pope are two cardinals wearing their hats.
The bishop is attended by his apparitor, bearing the cro-
zier, and three other attendant figures complete the
group.
The tablet is about two feet in height and one in width,
and has been curiously painted and illuminated, the traces
of which are still visible. The top part of the marble
was unfortunately broken by the workmen, before the),
discovered what it was ; but the principal portion remains,
and with the fragments (which have since been recovered)
are now in the possession of the vicar. Several pieces 0_
copper and silver coin were likewise discovered in tb°
same part of the chancel, which are chiefly Hanse.tovv;
tokens, or were probably used for Peter's-pence.--Mi
Guardian.

SUICIDE AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—The tovv.ll
Newnbam was thrown into much consternation on vvc-'
nesday afternoon last, by a shocking and most unseat-at?"'
ahle act of violence, which has resulted in the self-In'
flicted death of Mr. William Knowles, and in a very se,
rious injury to Mrs. Morse, the wife of Mr. Morse, Pesa
master of the above town. It appears that Mr. Krlaw,„"
entered the shop of Mr. Morse, armed with a ceostui.o
mallet and a razor, and was accosted by Mrs. Morse, tt
offered him her hand to shake in a friendly manner, ""
instead of receiving it, he lifted the mallet and struck
a violent blow on the centre of the forehead, and she ie
senseless on the floor. Knowles then opened the razor,
„,
and appeared to hesitate for a second or two,
one ran into the shop to see what was the matter, ;lb"
