MISS SIIIRREFF IN AMERICA.—The Shirreff, last evening (Oct. 5), arrested a whole audience, and kept them for three hours, and dismissed them on their own recognizances to appear again at the National.—New York Star. This allusion is IA) the vocalist. She never could have kept the audience thus in duressc had she not given her notes as security.--Philadelphia Gazette. So decided a hit has the new opera made, that the stage manager at the National has been bound over to keep the piece.— Albany Evening Journal.  Jupiter is now very bright in the morning. This planet is fourteen hundred times larger than our little globe of earth and water, and is undoubtedly an inhabited world, or else to what use are his new and full moons, his days and nights, similar to those which we have, all which we know he has with the aid of good telescopes, and he has besides, his satellites.  An inquest was held yesterday, at Clapham workhouse, on the body of a female child, about three months old, which was found exposed near Clapham Park on Monday morning last. From the medical evidence there could be no doubt that the infant had been strangled by means of a cord or sash-line, and, from appearances, death must have ensued about 24 hours previous to the finding of the of the body. The clothes which deceased wore seemed to be of the kind usually distributed by charitable associations ; but, although every inquiry has been made in the .neighbourhood, nothing has yet been elicited to fix the crime on any person. The place where the body was found is rather lonely. It could not have been placed there long before it was discovered, as the night had been damp, and the cloth in which the body was wrapped was perfectly dry, although dirty. The Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder against parties unknown," the Coroner suggesting to the parish authorities the propriety of offering a reward for the discovery of the murder. It is said that no similar case has occurred within this distrist for many years. Last night an inquest was held at the Mitre Tavern, Chancery-lane, before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, and a most respectable Jury, on view of the body of Thomas Stainer Johnson, aged 56. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was a pressman, and at the time of his death was in the employ of Mr. Cloves, printer, of Stamford-street, Blackfriars-rOad Between twelve and one o'clock on Tuesday afternoon. last, the deceased was walking down Chancery-lane, when he was observed by the passengers to stagger ; Robert Mason, a City policeman, reached him in time to prevent him from falling to the ground. He (deceased) was conveyed into the shop of Mr. Lowden, chemist, of No. 104, Chancery-lane, where he shortly expired. It was proved by the brother, and other relatives of the deceased, that he had been in a very indifferent state of health for some months past, and had for some weeks been an out-patient of St. Bartholomew's Hospital. The surgeon said he had no doubt the deceased died fromr the rupture of a blood-vessel in the region of the heart. The Jury expressed themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict of" Died by the Visitation of God."
