it Exmouth, in Devonshire, on Wednesday, having fallen
'roni his chair in a fit of apoplexy while sitting at table with

On Saturday, the 18th ult., a poor woman, the wife of
John Faux, Keynsham, Somerset, was safely delivered of a
male child having neither arms nor legs. He is, with his
mother, doing well.—Sherborne Journal.
Another large slip has taken place on the Croydon railroad,
in the part that has previously given way. These frequent
slips, which are, on every account, much to be regretted,
might have been avoided by the construction of a tunnel in
the first instance, instead of making a cutting.

It is a remarkable circumstance that the heirs of three earl-
doms should, after only enjoying seats in the lower house
during the short session of last autumn, lose those seats
by succeeding to peerages—we allude to the present Lord
Falmouth, the present Earl of Elgin, and the present Earl

of Maltnesbury.
AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday last, as Mr.
Broad, mason, of Winford, near Bristol, was walking over
the Somersetshire estates of Colonel Blagrave, of Calcot Park,
near Reading, with Mr. Westbury, land-agent, of Andover,
the colonel's steward, and whilst in the act of looking at the
map of the estate, and pointing to a distant object, he was
suddenly observed to reel, and in an instant fell to the ground
and expired, without uttering an exclamation. Mr. Broad
was about sixty-seven years of age, and apparently in full
health.—Devizes Gazette.

FRACAS IN COURT.—While an appeal case was in progress '
of trial on Thursday, in the West-Riding Sessions" Court,
at Wakefield, in which Sir G. Lewin appeared as counsel, a
point of law, raised by Sir Gregory, was overuled by the
Chairman. Notwithstanding this Sir Gregory persisted in
proceeding with his argument ; this, being in defiance of the
Chairman's orders, eventually produced a rupture between
the learned Knight and the Bench. Sir Gregory was peremp-
torily ordered to sit down. This he flatly refused to do, and
the Chairman, J. B. Greenwood, Esq., in great excitement
vacated the chair, but immediately returned and called upon
Sir Gregory again to take his seat. Again meeting with a
denial, the Chairman ordered Mr. Senior, the crier of the
Court, to "do his duty," when Sir Gregory, finding affairs
assuming a serious aspect, obeyed the order of the Bench and
sat down.—Leeds Intelltgencer.

SINGULAR SCENE.— On Sunday afternoon week, a scene
of rather a singular, and, for a time, unaccountable nature
occurred at Harwood Church, near Bolton, during divine
service. Shortly after the clergyman had entered upon his
sermon, the apparitor fell down in the aisle, and had to be
carried out of the church fo; air. No sooner had this take❑
place, than the clerk was seized in a similar manner, and so
on until about a dozen were taken out. The minister said
that these interruptions prevented him from proceeding to
the length he could have wished, and closed his sermon very
abruptly ; and a collection was made, according to announce-
ment, for the singers, and the congregation separated, but
not until about seventeen others had been more or less affec-
ted. An inquiry as to the cause of so strange an occurrence
was made, and it was found that the valve had been closed,
by mistake, by which the hot air from the flues was confined
to the church, and the atmosphere rendered impure and in-
tolerable.—Blackburn Standard.

Cunjou Cirtet!alSTANct;•:._Mr. Ray, mate of the Ruby,
just returned from Australia, had -determined to pass his
Christmas Holidays in London, with his wife; hearing, how-
ever, of the railway accident, he resolved to go by coach, and
singular to relate, his wife is, we understand, now detained
on the road from injuries caused by the upsetting of the
coach..—Bristol Standard.

O'CoNNELL's H ATRED OF ENGLAND.—This notorious
personage, at a repeal meeting last week, thus belched out
his revengeful feelings towards this country, " 629 years had
elapses' since this country was polluted by the foot-mark of
a conquering Englishman—since English rapacity gnawed
away the vitals of our liberty. I despise you, England ; I
look with pity on your prostrate condition ; I compassionate
the melancholy disgrace of your present position. The
English have put in a tory government ; they have done
away with a holy, sanctified institution, which I may say re-
sembles the attributes of the Deity—the administration of

justice."
RHINOCEROS FIGHT.—On one of the days we remained,
a "Mahratta princess staying here sent two rhinoceroses to
fight before Sir Henry, who (the rhinoceroses) after punch-
ing each other on the head for some time, at last got angry
one with the other. The blows got harder and harder, until
at last one of the parties, thinking he had had enough, turned
tail and ran at the top of his speed through a thick hedge
into Mrs. F.'s flower-garden; where again, gaining courage,
he faced his opponent, who had followed him. The punching
again commenced, and by the time the two brutes could be
separated, the place of the garden, or the colour of the
flowers, were both most difficult to discover.— ,Triptain Fane s
Five Years in India.

Seyrral eortraiti of the Apostles, painted upon wood, and
curinnsly trained, of the time of Oliver Cromwell, have lately
been discovereil during the repairs and alterations going on
at All Saints' Church, South Lynn.—Essex Standard.

EXTRAORMNARY DEATH OF Two MEN FROM DRINK-
ING.—On Monday last two men, named John Daniels and
Charles Hassall, came to a shocking and untimely death
from drinking a strong mixture of rum and ale, which had
been somewhat improperly administered to them. The
quantity taken in each case was not such sis was likely to lead
to serious consequences, but the effect was probably increased
by their having taken it fasting.—Manchester Courier.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF CHICHESTER.--
Dr. Shuttleworth, the Bishop of Chichester, died suddenly
on Friday evening at 11 o'clock, at the Episcopal Palace,
Chichester. His Lordship transacted business as usual on
Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday he was attacked with
sickness, and about nine o'clock in the evening his medical
attendant, Mr. Dodd, of Chichester, observing him to be
much exhausted, called in Dr. M'Carogher, who found him
rapidly sinking, and at about eleven o'clock his Lordship
expired, apparently without the slightest pain. Dr. Shut-
tleworth has been Bishop of Chester only 15 months.
A JEWEL OF A WIFE.—A. Miss Charlotte Mitchell, of
Georgia, recently appeared on her wedding day dressed en-
tirely of silk of her own manufacture—cap, gloves, stockings,
and dress—'equal to the best pongee. Girls, do you hear
that ? Such a girl would be worth more to a young man
just starting in the world, than a thousand dollar-farm, and
a half-a-dozen pianos to boot. Really she is a wife worth
having, and William Whattington, Esq., may think himself
a fortunate man.—American Paper.
