A RICH CANDIDATE' FOR A lItYSBAND.—It will be re-
membered that about three months a;o a dashinoydressed
middle aged lady was driven up in a gig; Idoompelded by a
servant in livery, to the `,l;tryiebone station-as., arid
She expressed her determination to marry an Inspcetor of
D division, if she could find' one to her mini, at the same
time stating that she was possessed of
whole of which would be at her husband's disposal. At thd
period in question there were two inspectors present, Mr.
Stubbs and Mr. Stedman,- both of whom she eyed fram top
to toe,and after pronouncing the former to be too tall, and
the latter too short, she re-entered the vehicle, having pre-
Viously promised to call again. Last Friday afternoon she
did so, and having learnt that a new inspector-bad been ap-
pointed, requested to see him. She was accordinTly'idtro-
duced to Air. Black, a line young man of 'military appear-
ance, and to him, in accents bland and smooth, unfolded the
object of her visit. Struck with astonishment at the Singu-
larity of the 'proceeding, and wist,,lng to get rid of the lady,
whose looks were not remarkably prepossessing. he told her
at once that his affections were engaged, upon which she Clew
into a most violent passion, and declared that, as she could
not, with all her trouble, persuade an inspector to marry her,
she would bestow her land and fortune on a common con-
stable. She then hastily left the station; and getting into her
lig, was driven oil hrthe diration of Manchester-square.

POST MORTEM EXAMINATION OF THE LATE MR, DRUM-
MOND.—I understand that a large concretion, or ball, was
discovered in the vicinity of the ilio7ccccal valve in the body
of Mr. Drummond. This was quite sufficient to accoint for
the fatal termination. Intestinal concretions are not very
common in this country. In Scotland they are far. inora
frequent, more especially among the lower classes. Tkpi7-
tentency to them is thought b}' many to arise from the large
'quantity.of ,''Coarse:oatmeal mixed with the husks of grin

which enters into the food of the inforior ord?:rs of th

_..„
tish populationi., The 'busks, it is imagined With
liability, form the first nucleus of a concretion,- which.
on increasing in bulk until it fillS up the calibre of i
tines, and necessarily brings on a fatal issne by interrn
• a function so indii•qiensable to vitality a 3 is the freeip.,.
through the intestinal.. canal. The common oq:‘. of tiel
has by some persons been supposed capable i;!'
liability to the formation of intestinal con. :
persons, however,- deny that magnesia .
Probably it has not when it produces a •
feet.—Nenagh GWartliml.

JESUlTlSM.—The,.,following arreedotc: i., , :‘ ,:er-
