On Wednesday afternoon, MiB9 Ellen Fieldhouse, landlady of a public house in Wolverhampton, wag found lying dead, under circumatanccs which led to the belief that she had committed suicide by taking a quantity of vermin killer, disappointment in a love stair being one of the causes assigned for the act.  The overdue Atlantic steamer British Princ arrived at Queenstown, on Wednesday. The delay was due to the bad Tidily of her coals. Some anxiety prevails at Portsmouth respecting the Indian troopship Jumna, which left Gibraltar, on the 17th, and is now nearly two days overdue. About noon on Wednesday, an alarm of fire was raised in Swansea, and it was found that the Erycina, a large barque, belonging to Mr Re-aer Rosser, of Somerset-place, was on fire on the north side of the South Dock, east end. The hose and reel were quickly on the spot in charge of the fire brigade under the ommand of Captain Colquboun, Sergeant Holland, and Inspector Flynn. There was however no force of water on and it would not spurt over the ship's side. The enginea were then sent for and speedily arriv,d, but by this time the fire had • good hold by apartuses being made in the ships side, and ventilatian set up. The fire engims worked well, and in addition a number of sailors assisted with buckets. Water was poured rapidly into the vessel and she began to take a list to port.

Wallworth is an auctioneer's assistant employed by Mr. Turley, and lives at 59, Bank-strest. About twenty minutes past three o'clock on Friday afternam he went home unier the influence of drink and sat on • chair by the fire, remarking to his wife that he could not stand life any longer, and that his employment was not paying. After saying he would take his life—a threat by the way be had previously made and which was not taken seriously by Mrs. Wallworth—the unhappy man went into the yard and his 0011tinned absence creating some little uneasiness in the mind of his wife she went out te him, when, to her horror, she discovered him hanging from the lintel of the water-closet door by • portion of the clothes line. Fortunately, Police Constable Beaumont was peening the house at the time, and, in response to Mrs. Wellwerth's request, ran into the back yard. With greet presence of mind he lifted Wallworth so as to relieve the presence of the rope on the neck and then out the cord. The would-be suicide was by that time quite unconscious and livid in the face.

EVERYWITIKEZ. In connection with the deaths of a mother and daughter at Wilmslow. Cheshire, after the daughter had been delivered of an ill-gitimate child, a startling discovery has been made. The bloodhounds employed by the police refused to leave the house, and by their means the body of the child has been found underneath the coal cellar. DRAR Sm.—Thanks for the Tic Mixture to hand.

(Signed), JOILI Halmos, 76, Crosacliffe-street, Muse Bade, Beadle/der—Jeer-sows, Chemists, the Talbotroad, Church-street, and Central Parmamea, B'pool  It is clear that the unfortunate man Stoer, who murdered his wife and committed suicide near Canterbury on Saturday, was mad as a March bare. He was descrided as " a well-known wet,' and the non-recognition of his works beyond the small circle in which he was " wellknown " seems to have turned his brain. A letter, from which the following are extracts, was found upon the deceased—" To the public, Here I lie killed by this so-called practical generation, to whom gold is more than honour, and money more than mind. I publish it to the world, that genius without means or influential friends perishes like ' a flower by the wayside, seen by few, obettved by none, and covered by dust of passing ignorance. By my side rests the sole being of my kind who knew my genius and loved it, and who without it new theme& a desert and life a oontinual hunger and thida. She died like a bride that leaves her home mid friends for husband. And ye have compelled me to take this life that was loved by all, who watched the blossoms of a tender and noble nature and hated hypocrisy and meanness."
