The charge of the affair has been kept in the hands of the Divisional Police—that is to say, the special services of the Scotland-yard Detective Force have not been called in—and this seems to show that the Diviisional Police are not without hope of bringing their inquiry to a successful issue, as otherwise the aid of the experts would be considered indispensable. That there is some clue to the murderer, the following official notice will show. This is as follows : " Whereas Harriet Stairwell, aged 26, was found with her throat cut at No 12, Great Coramatreet, Russell-square, on the 25th With The murder is supposed to have been committed by a man of the following description, who was seen In company with the deceased on the evening of the Seth, and to leave the- house at seven lam. on the 26th :—Age 26, height 6 It. 9 in., complexion swarthy, red spots on fame, black hair, no whisken or moustache, but not shaved for two or three days, stout build; dress, dark, tightfitting coat, dark billyoock hat, a foreigner (supposed German).

A SzumßLE Onitravalas Box l—The working men ef Wolverhampton and the surrounding district of S,uth Stafford.hire determined some time ago to raise £1,500 towards the South Staffordshire Hospital in that town, which had just been enlarged- They could not, however, collect more than £6OO. But the work was resumed at Christmas under the happy idea of a "Christmas-box." So ready and liberal had been the response, and so desirous have been the employees and merchants to assist in the work, that on Saturday, at a meeting held in Wolverhampton for the purpose, two checks of the united value of £1,500 were banded to the weekly board of the hospital, and there is yet more to come. By this handsome Christmas-box the hospital is now free of all debt, in connexion with its recent considerable enlargement, which includes a fever department.
