THE DAGENHAM MURDER.—On Tuesday, the inquiry into the murder of Police Constable George Clarke was resumed for the sixth time. The room was crowded by the resident gentry of the neighbourhood. The additional evidence was not very material. The Coroner summed up, and after consulting for upwards of one hour, the jury agreed to a verdict of Wilful Murder against some person or persons unknown.  Mr: Fisher, the Unitarian minister at Lincoln, committed suicide on Wednesday evening by takicg diluted prussic acid after he had retired to his bed-room, where he was found dead next morning. The cause of the act is attributed to an apprehension on the part of the deceased of imputa•ions upon his moral character which would prevent him from having a congregation. He was 25 years old, and had formerly been an attorney. It is but a few weeks since the grave closed upon the remains of Charlotte Elizabeth—one of the very first among our female writers ; and already we have to record the loss of another equally eminent Christian woman, the author of " The Listener." Mrs Wilson, perhaps better remembered by her former name of " Caroline Fry," was taken to her rest, on Thursday last, at Tunbridge Wells, after a short and sharp attack of pulmonary disease. Mr. Musbet, jun.. of Dark Hill, near Coleford, iron master, writing in the Mining Journal, says that he is in possession of a plan by which two tons of pig iron may be produced for every ton of coal used. At present it takes two tons of coal to make one ton of pig iron. He also asserts that he knows of an immense supply of iron hitherto unused and unsuspected, though at the manufacturer's feet ; but the secret he is Being to keep to himself until he finds it worth while to sell it.  At littwick village, Northumberland, on the 14th instant, in her 100th year, Margery, widow of Mr. Thomas Duncan, died. She was the last of three sisters, whose united ages at the time of their death amounted to 278 years. Their father, Richard Moore, died at Howick in his 100th year, and neither he nor his father, who also lived nearly a century, had ever slept a night out of the Howick domains during the whole of their patriarchal lives.  W. Hayter, a gamekeeper, at Warleigh, Devon, gra been committed for trial at the next Exeter Assizes, for firing at and wounding a girl of sixteen years old, named Maria Hicks, who was plucking blackberries. The plantation in which the offence was committed, adjoined a garden occupied by the girl's father; there was no fence or other partition ; and no design of meddling with game seems to have been i rputed to the sufferer, who tetired on the first notice, and was twice fired at while retracing her steps, two shots taking effect on the second dischar:e. At Bow-street Police-office, George Kurnot, a man who has kept a chemist's shop at Raleigh, in Essex, for twenty years, was charged with abstracting a £5 note from a letter which passed through the postoffice at Raleigh, of which he was the keeper. The note was sent in a letter to Mrs. Chambers from her husband, in March last; the absence of the money was notified to the prisoner ; about H fortnight since he prt'd a linendraper of Aldersgate- street for some goods with the identical note, giving his address, " Brown, it aleigh." The prisoner was remanded.
