know the name of the man who had injured him. Mr. Han-
nah, surgeon, and assistant to Mr. Gillon, said four weeks
ago the deceased came to Mr. Gillon's surgery. His wound
was dressed, and he appeared to be doing well. On Thursday
night last he was attacked by a convulsion fit, at the time

th; time the wound was being dressed ; he became rtiiich
worse, and died on Saturday morning. Sidney Campbell,
wife of Edward Campbell, who keeps a beer-house in White
Mill-street, said the deceased was in the habit of frequenting
the house. Four weeks last Saturday, (the day in question)

the deceased was at a supper there. About half-past eleven
o'clock she let the deceased out. He was a little in drink,
but able to take care of himself.. Directly afterwards she
heard a great noise, as of persons quarrelling, and could dis-
tinctly hear the voice of the deceased, but did not go to see
what was the matter. Some farther evidence was tendered,
but it was immaterial. The jury returned a verdict to the
effect that the deceased died from inflammation of the brain,
arising from the wound, but how the wound was caused there
was no evidence to show. A man was apprehended on sus-
picion, but was discharged on the evidence being heard.
THE QUEEN.—We are happy to learn that the Queen has
so entirely recovered that her Majesty has resumed her petits
diners en famine which are confined to the Queen, Prince
Albert, and the Duchess of Kent.—Evening Paper.

The new Bishop of England and Ireland in Jerusalem was,
17 or 18 years ago, the officiating rabbi of a synagogue at
Plymouth, in which town he was baptised by the late Arch-
bishop of Tuam. The new bishop is of pure Hebrew descent,
of the tribe of Judah ; his wife, Mrs. Alexander, is also of
the purest Hebrew blood, and of the tribe of Levi, thus
uniting in one the royal and the priestly tribes.
FATAL OCCURREAE.-A dreadful accident happened at
Newport, on Monday, to a poor woman named Sophia
Thomas. The deceased was killed by a pistol discharged ac-
cidentally by a boy who was playing with it, and who does
not know how it went off.

CORK AND DUBLIN RAILWAY.—A numerous and highly
respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Cork was held in
that city on Thursday last, when it was determined to
memorialise the Lord Lieutenant in favour of the railway
from Cork to Dublin.

EXECUTION FOR THE MURDER OF MR. POWELL.—
On Saturday last, the 20th instant, the extreme penalty of
the law took place on Patrick Woods, whose case had stood
over from last Assizes, on an objection by his counsel, which
the twelve judges overruled. The wretched man said to the
people that he was innocent of the murder of Mr. Powell,
that he was seven miles off when the murder took place; he
forgave his prosecutors, his judge, and his jury, and died
protesting his innocence. After having delivered these few
words he seemed to be suffering intense mental agony, and
was moving from side to side, not knowing what he did. He
sunk down before the fall of the drop, in the centre of which
he was placed by the executioner. In a few moments the
bolt was drawn, and the wretched man ceased to breathe.—

NEW TELEGRAPH FROM LONDON TO DOVER.—The Lon-
don terminus, at the end of Tooley-street, London Bridge,
of the telegraphic communication between London and Dover
has just been finished, and the whole line will be opened in a
few days. The intermediate stations are situated on elevated
spots, at Forest-hill, Peckham-rye, Knockholt Beeches,
Wrotham ; Blue Bell-hill, Chatham ; Isle of Sheppy, Whit-
stable, Herne-bay, Minster, Broadstairs, and Deal. The
establishment of such a line of communication will be of the
greatest advantage to the mercantile world, as a ship's arrival
off the coast can be telegraphed to the owners in five minutes.
An experiment was made a few days ago, on the line between
Hull and Liverpool, when 18 seconds only elapsed while a
message was conveyed a distance of upwards of 70 miles.—

CHARGE OF SHOPLIFTING.—At the Cheltenham police.
office on Monday, Miss Jane Allen, a lady of great respecta-
bility, was charged by Mr. Thomas Joslin, chemist, with
stealing a packet of pot porri perfume. The case excited an
extraordinary degree of interest. The office was crowded to
suffocation, and a great concourse were assembled outside
unable to gain admittance. Before the matter came on Dr.

Thorpe begged permission to be allowed to make a few ob-
servations to shew that this was a case which ought to go be-
fore another tribunal. He spoke as a professional man, and
from his knowledge of the family he could take upon himself
to say that this was a case for another jurisdiction—it was
not a case of common theft—it was one of moral irresponsi-
bility. Evidence was then given to prove the theft, and se-
veral witnesses deposed that the prisoner was not in a very
sound state of mind.—The magistrates said they would admit
her to bail, and she was bound over, herself in £2OO, and two
sureties in £lOO each, to answer at the sessions. Dr. Thorpe
and Captain Frobisher immediately became bail for the un-
fortunate lady.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—On the 16th instant an inques
was held at Whitstable, on the body of a French mariner'
named Eli Mingour, mate of a lugger, laden with coals,
bound from Sunderland to Mantes. It appeared in evidence
that the deceased, with the captain and four others, (all
Frenchmen,) had taken in a cargo of coals, and were out in
the gale on Sunday night, when the vessel was wrecked, and
they were all compelled to take to the boat, in which they
were exposed for fifteen hours, the deceased taking part of
the labour of rowing during the night ; that on the followi
morning they were picked up off Margate by Captain W
lace Bed and the crew of the smack Prosperous, and
putting the deceased on board, they discovered him to
dead. A most careful examination was taken of the bo
and not any marks of violence appearing thereon, the ju
without the least hesitation, returned a verdict, "That
deceased died from being exposed to the inclemency of
weather."—London paper.
