MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT MArt,FtEr,o.—On the 24th in
stant a coroner's inquest was held to inquire into the circuni
stances attending the deaths of Elizabeth Holmes, the elder
Elizabeth Holmes, the younger, and Elizabeth Holmes, al

infant. From the evidence produced, it appeared teat' the
younger woman was the cause of her own death and that, of
the others, although the motive cannot be conjectured. It
seems that on Tuesday morning the old woman was employed
in rolling up some paste to make a pudding. Her daughter
handed her a jar of preserved currants, which the old woman
used for a pudding. The mother and daughter dined toge-
ther on mutton broth and the pudding. Two hours alter
dinner the old woman was taken ill, and died at four o'clock.
The daughter was also taken ill, but lingered till six o'clock
the next morning, when she expired. Early on that day she
told one of her sisters who was attending her there was some
preserved dumpling in the closet, and that she could take it
and give it to her children, which she did. After partaking
of it all her five children were taken ill, and one, a baby, died.
On a post mortem examination of the bodies, the presence
of arsenic was detected by the usual tests, and the cause of
death attriuted to that poison. The jury reurne a vedict
that the thrbee deceased died from the effectst of arsd enic,r but
by whom it was placed in the dumplings no evidence appears.

A WATER-WHEEL PROPELT.ED BY THE WIND.--SUCII
was the violence of the gale on Wednesday that a water-wheel,
of 60 feet diameter, at the Civin Sebon Mines, near Aberyst-
with, which revolves six times a minute towards the west,
was, by the force of the wind, forced to revolve 20 times a
minutes to the eastward ; so that the mine had the water in
the shaft pumped by wind instead of water, and it was impos-
sible to stop the accelerated action of the water (but for that
time wind) wheel.

He would not have allowed one of his pupils, formerly the

He told, a short time before his death, that I ought to have

condemned to twenty-foul hours' imprisonment ; but the
court ordered, that, at the expiration of his punishment,
Chervier should be taken to a mendicity asylum.
