A TEST OF DEATH.—M. Maniple; a learned Belgian,

already intervened, nothing of the kind occurs.

THE EXPELLED WESLEYAN MINISTERS. —At the
quarterly meeting of the Leeds 4th circuit, held in Wesley
Chapel Vestry, on Monday last, a resolution was come to

SINGULAR DEATH.—On Friday, a lad nine years of
age, son of Mr. Hudson Brown, of the Royal George
ship, lying off Chatham, while walking from the ward-
room to the cabin, for the purpose of cutting a candle,
carrying with him a pair of scissors, tripped nd fell, when
the point of the scissors pierced the jugular vein just under
the jaw bone, which caused almost inAantaneaus death.
DOVER.—On Monday morning last, a private of the
50;11 Regiment, apparently not more than 22 years of age,
who had been convicted of not Icss than allay off:nces at
various times during a period of two years' service in the
regiment, was drummed out, after being previously
flogged, and was then taken to the county gaol, where he
will be confined 42 drys, by sentence of court-martial.
RIOT AT THE SUNDERLAND DOCK.—On Monday and
Tuesday last a series of events took place at the extensive
docks now in course of construction on the beach side of
the river Wear, which caused great excitement in the
town, and which arose out of certain disputes likely to
occa-ion a protracted and expensive litigation in the Chan-
cery Courts, unless amicably arranged._ _ _

SUICIDE OF A NAVAL OFFICER.—Mr. William Rem-
phry. clerk of her majesty's ship Ocean, committed sui-
cide at the Nore on Thursday, whilst the ship's company
were at divisions. It appears the deceased took that op-
portunity of cutting his throat with a razor in his cabin,
and so effectually did he perform the dreadful act, that
life must have ceased almost instantaneously.
Not long since, a lady, a member of the enthusiastic
sect of the Irvingites, was taken with premonitory symp-
toms of cholera, and refused all medical aid until she had
sent for the elders of her chapel to anoint her with oil
and pray over her, as their custom is. The consequence
was, the disease took such violent hold upon her that
death shortly ensued.
DISGRACEFUL BRUTALITY AND ROBBERY. A re-
spectable widow, living at Huddersfield, had been spending
the day with her brother, and was returning home by a
footpath through Spring 'Wood, when she was attacked
by two men, who robbed her of her money and violated
her person, and having inflicted sundry blows upon her,
decamped. They have been fully committed to take
their trial.

A LODGER FOR LIFE.—In a Birmingham paper, last
week, appears the following inviting announcement :—" A.
gentleman about to attend the Birmingham musical fes-
tival is desirous to take up his abode in the house of a
widow or single female. If she is found to be good-
tempered and agreeable, a good manager, clean and neat
in her person and household, and an adept in all that is
calculated to make a home happy and comfortable, the
advertiser will make her an offer, and enter into negocia-
tions for a more endearing and lasting engagement."
It is gratifying to find that the pestilence has already
considerably abated all over the country, but especially
in London. where the mortality has decreased from up-
wards of 400 a-day to under 60. The cholera mortality
throughout the country for the first tour days of the week
before last was about three thousand : for the same period
of last week, it does not amount to two thousand cases.
It is becoming less day by day. There is every indication,
in fact, of its passing away ; and we may not unreasonably
conclude, therefore, that the prayers of the people have
been heard by Him in whose hands are the issues of life
and death.

INTRAMURAL BURIALS.—The following letter has been
addressed by a correspondent to the editor of the Times ;
" A curious clause in the twelve Tables of Rome turned
up in my reading this morning:—` HOMINEM. MORTUUM.
IN. UMW. NE. SEPELITO. NEVE. URITO.' This signifi-
cant enactment belongs to the rude and early legislation
of 450 before Christ • but even in the days of M. Tull.
Cicero himself, the code of which the above is an extract,
was rigidly enjoined to be committed in youth to the
memory of every Roman nobleman tanguam carmen
necessarinm:—Legg., ii. 23.) It is no bad hint to law-
making Britons."
A NEW TRICK.--A day or two since one of the mes-
sengers of a Life Insurance Offics brought a paper to the
actuary, saying that " two poor boys had just picked it up
in the street, and seemed very full of it, and expected
something." The man was told to give them sixpence
each, and to say the paper was of no great value. It
turned out to be a form of proposal for a life assurance
of £2,000 on the life of Captain —, of the regi-
ment, stationed at —. It was on the office form, the
usual references being given, one to the surgeon of the
same regiment, the other to the lieutenant-colonel, and
got up. On reference to the army list,
before
proceeding further, no such names were to be
a,lvreery well
found.
THE BERMONDSEY MURDER.—The prisoners were
brought up on Thursday at the Southwark police-court.
Manning looked considerably better than he did on the
last occasion, and the apparent indifference which both he
and his wife exhibited to the serious position they occupy,
was a general matter of remark. Mrs. Manning looked
the very picture of health, and appeared even more com-
posed and at ease than she was before. She had divested
herself of her black silk visite, and had put on in its stead
a light and gay-coloured scarf, which hung loosely upon
her person. Instead, also, of a black veil, she had on a
large white one, which she kept down, except during a
brief period, when they both stood up. The prisoners
were remanded till Friday next.
EXPLOSION OF A SEWER.—On Saturday evening, a
fearful explosion of sewer-damp happened in Friar-street,
London • there were happily no lives lost, though the
shock of explosion was felt at a considerable distance
round the neighbourhood. The cas -iron plates, covering
the main-holes in the flag pavement in Friar-street, were
all blown into the air, and flames came through the gully
gratings into the streets. It appears that.the sewer in
Friar-street has been in a most pestilential state for some
time, and cholera is prevailing immediately around it to
an alarming extent. Notwithstanding repeated complaints
had been made, nothing had been done by the commis-
sioners, and on Saturday, Msssrs. Anderson and Cally,
soap-boilers, were prevailed on by some of the inhabitants,
in despair, to attempt to draw off the pestilential vapour
by connecting a pipe from the sewer with one of their
chimneys. All went on apparently well for about half an
hour, when the explosion occurred.
