CORONER'S TRAP.—Long before I reached Wap• ping (writes Mr. Dickens, in the "Uncommercial Traveller," in AU the Year Round), I gave myself up as having lost my way, and, abandoning myself to the narrow streets in a Turkish frame of mind, relied on predestination to bring me somehow or other to the place I wanted if I were ever to get there. When I had ceased for an hour or so to take any trouble about the matter, found myself on a swing-bridge, looking down at some dark locks in some dirty water. Over against me, stood I creature remotely in the likeness of a young man, with a puffed sallow face, and a figure all dirty and shiny and slimy, who may have been the youngest son of his filthy old father, Thames, or the drowned man about whom there was a placard on the granite post like a large thimble, that stood before us. I asked the apparation what it called the place? Unto which it replied, with a ghastly grin, and with a sound like gurgling water in its throat—" Mister Baker's trap." As it is a point of great sensitiveness with me on such Decisions to be eqaal to the intellectual pressure of the conversation, I dei?ly considered the meaning of this speech, smile I eyed the apparition—then engaged in hugging and sucking a horizontal iron bar at the top of the locks. Inspiration suggested to me that Mr. Baker was the acting coroner of that neighbourhood. "A common place for suicide," I said 1, looking down at the locks.—" Sue i" returned the ghost, with a stare. "Yes! And Likewise Ender. And Nancy. And Jane," he sucked the iron between each name; "and all the bileing. Ketches off their bonnets or shorts, takes a run, and headers down here, they does. Always a headerin' down here, they is. Like one o'clock."—"And at about that hour of the morning, I suppose ?"—" Alt !" said the apparition. "They sat partickler. Two 'ull de for them. Three. All times o'night O'ny mind you!" Here the apparition rested its profile on the bar, and gurgled in a sarcastic manner. "There must be somebody comic.'

In which modest character I remarked---" They are often taken out, are they, and restored ?"

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. No. 288. December, 1860. London: Rickard Bentley. . ' .. .  The "Outremanche Correspondence" with which Bentley commences each month does not become more sparkling as it goes on. Dudley Costello follows " Victor Gouache's" letter with a well-written story called "Uncle Jasper's Ghost." The main incident on which the story turns, however, is such an utterly extravagant one as to spoil the tale. We are pretty well tired of "Table-turning and Spirit-rapping." The writer on the subject in Bentley is disposed to give a rather more scientific consideration to the humbug than we think it deserves; but he is not among the deluded. He concludes by a reference to some mischievous effects of the combined folly .and imposture:— " The wide and far spread hallucinations produced by such childish proceedings will be a matter of wonder to the future historians of the time. But what is more sad to relate is that thousands have suffered permanently from their humiliating credulity. A child belonging to one of the first families of Prague has been afflicted with St. Vitus's dance ever since it assisted at table-turning. M. 'Victor Hennequio, who had associated his wife with him in his experiments, wrote to a newspaper that she had lost her senses, and he himself died afterwards in a lunatic asylum. M. de Mirville says that many persons were admitted into Bicetre from derangement brought on by the same practices. The American journalists were not long in disoovering and in denouncing the melancholy fact that the generality of the media became stupid, mad, or idiotic, Not a week, they said, elapsed but some victim to this grievous hallucination either committed suicide or was consigned to an asylum. The results were universally admitted to be frightful, and, if persisted in for a fsw more years, it was anticipated would constitute a national calamity." Ouida contributes the love story, " Waldemar's Rideshot," and Mrs. Bushby a pleasant sketch of "An Island in the North Sea."

EICIDE AT LANDORE.—On Friday last a most deter• mined suicide was committed by an old man named John Gimblet, aged 66, at Landore, he having strangled himself with a handkerchief while in a desponding state of mind. On Saturday, an inquest was held at the Britannia, Inn, Landore, before Chas. Collins, Esq., coroner, to enquire into the melancholy circumstances of the case. The first witness that was called was Jane, wife of David Thomas, haramerman, and daughter of the deceased, who said that her father previous to his death lived with his son, William Ginblet, of Ynisperllwch, warka. Oen th Friday in question, in the morning. deceased came to her house about nine o'clock. He said he called to see her. She believed he had not been working for some time. He was then sober, but appeared as though he had been drinking a little. He went up-stairs and said he would rest. She went with him to the bedroom: he took off his coat and laid down on the bed. About twelve o'clock in the day he got up and went out to the back. In a short time he returned and again went up-stairs. She asked him if he would take anything, and he said he did not require anything. He remained up-stairs till about half-past ton o'clock, when she went up-staits to him, and saw him in bed, and again asked him if he would have anything. He said he did not want anything. She then went to-bed, with her children, in the adjoining room. It was about eleven o'clock, and her husband was out at work. She did not hear anything during the night, and her husband came from his work at six o'clock on the Saturday morning. She got up le let him in. On going down stairs, and on passing the room where her father was, she looked in and saw him lying against the wall. She thought there was something wrong. Her husband came up and went into the room; after which, he went out and called Jeremiah Rees, who lives about twenty yards off. He came back and they went up-stairs together; when thcy found the deceased sitting on the hod, with a silk handkerchief tied tightly in a running knot, round his neck, the other end tied to the bed post. Rees cut the handkerchiet ; and found that the deceased was quite dead.—Jeremiah Rees was called as a witness, and gave corroboratory evidence, and it was also proved in evidence that the deceased had for some time been in adesponding state of mind.— The jury, after considering the whole of the evidence, returned a verdict, to the effect that the deceased strangled himself while in a fit of insanity.

SLICIDE.--On Monday morning week, Nicholas Russell, a carpenter, residing at St. Hilary, committed suicide by hanging himself in a wood near Llanguian. He has been for a long time past in a desponding state of mind, so much so as to cause much anxiety to his friends. He left his home about seven o'clock on Monday, telling his wife that he would he home to breakfast, but by his not returning throughout the day, the neighbours went in search of him. He was seen going into the wood above alluded to, and after a long search he was discovered quite dead. He has left a wife and three children.  which she had in a oteen, when the defendant, who was also returning from the colliery, where he works, called to her, and asked her to go with him into the wrong path; he did not say why. She refused. He caught hold of her arm, and she wrestled until she got her arm free, and then ran away; he did not coax her. He ran after her across the railrocel, until be caught her; he then took the stcz.n from her arm, and pulled her until she fell on the r;,enl. She then described a very indecent assault whi i he committed, but in the act of which he was disturbed by the approach of a man on a tram on the railway. SI,L. got up and ran away, and the man on the tram, whose name was David Lewis, of Taibach, asked her what vis the matter, and she told him. She also told her mot er.—Defendant, in reply to the charge, said he was pert*: 'fly innocent; he was himself upon the tram, as the :roman and driver of an engine could both prove.—Ca 2 adjourned till next week, for the production of Da id Lewis, the defendant being admitted to bail.  No)yan Strad!: was charged with assaulting Mrs. Mary Corcoran, cr Newcastle, Bridgend,—a lady who, in Irish brogue, gave a most pathetic account of the way in which she had called out " Murtber !" when she received from defendant a heavy blow on the head.— Morgan, a character well known to the court, but who had managed to keep himself out of the clutches of the police for twelve months, called a witness, who proved that Mary had struck the first blow; whereupon the case was dismissed.  The accounts of the overseers of highways in the Bridgend and Cardiff Union were produced, and having been certified as audited in vestry in each ease, were confirmed.

DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE RY AN ACTOL—Eor many years an actor, now considerably past middle age, named William Mackay, has been engaged as one of the theatrical company of Mr. Moseley, at Bradford and Halifax, and for a season or two at a new theatre in Douglas, Isle of Man; but during the huit winter and spring, be has been unable front severe illness, to follow his profession on the stage. His wife, however, to whom he has only been a few years married, was a shoemaker in Duke-street, dud lila iiiieemateucee were thus respectable. lie slowly recovered; but the season for the time was over, and the company are preparing to return to the labe of Man, where, it apppears, he would not be able to go with them as formerly, and from this and other causes his spirits were greatly depressed. On Sunday forenoon, when alone in his bedroom and, while his wife and servant girl were in the room below, he became desperate, sat deliberately down before the mirror with a razor in his hana, and at four different plunges indicted numerous wounds in his throat, extending from ear to ear, but still without dividing the jugular vein, and so causing instant death. Policeman Bowyer, who was on the beat, was called in, and surgical assistance obtained, but any hope of saving his life is very alight. The roots and connecting ligatures of his tongue are completely severed; and if he even should survive, he will be unable to articulate. The windpipe is also partially cut through. He still, however, is aiive, but little more can Weald. He was originally from Olasgow, and has always been held in htgu respect by the public and the mill dramatiquo with wnoin he associated on the boards.
