THE PRINCESS OF WALES.-1 am told that the Princess' progress to convalescence has been marvellously rapid, and that it is almost practically complete. On dit, that she submitted very reluctantly to the obligations of etiquette in the matter of wetnursing the baby. The Prinee of Wales would, it is said, have willingly indulged the natural wish of a young mother ; but Court traditions were too strong even for the royal personages, who are supposed, not always truly, to be absolute masters in their own households. Persons who retail the gossip of the said household are loud and unanimous in praise of the exemplary attention shown by the Prince of Wales to his young wife.—London Letter. A verdict of wilful murder, under very singular circumstances, was returned by a coroner's jury in the east of London on Tuesday. Some time last spring a man went into a small shop in Bethnal Green, kept by a Mrs. Moore, and picked her pocket. She discovered her loss, and grappled with the thief, on which lie seized her by the throat, and nearly choked her. BY leaving his great coat and muffler in her hands, he finally made his escape. The woman lingered for nine or ten months, and died on Monday week. It was clearly proved that her death was caused by the garotting, on which the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person unknown, and recommended that a reward should be offered for his apprehension. A conference of Nonconformists has just been held at Norwich to determine upon some definite line of political action, with a view to obtaining perfect religious equality. Mr. E. Miall made a variety of suggestions. Assuming, from the past conduct of the present Parliament, that Dissenters had nothing to hope from it in the way of the removal of the disabilities under which they labour, he counsels a cessation of the movements in the House of Commons at present. Further, he advises the Nonconformists to use their electoral influence in favour only of candidates who will support the objects they have in View. If a candidate will not support them, then he advises that they should abstain from taking part in the election. A discussion followed the address, and finally resolutions fully adopting the suggestions were carried. On Tuesday evening a married woman, named Watkins, expired at the Leominster workhouse, from the effects of injuries she had received on Monday night, while crossing through a field at Hennon, about three Miles ,from Leominster. She was found lying near the pathway, with her head almost cloven in two, the brains protruding in a horrible manner. It is suspected that the husband of the woman—who left her about two years ago, enlisted in the Royal Marines, recently deserted, and bad been seen for some days past in the neigh. bourhood of Leominster—was the perpetrator of the outrage.
