Mr. Bass, the brewer, of Burton-on-Trent, bas written a letter to the Globe, in which he states that he has stopped the rot in potatoes by merely cutting t hem in two, and thus allowing the surplus moisture, which is the chief cause of the evil, to escape. _ _  The dog of George Beech, assistant gamekeeper to Sir John Delves Broughton, Bart., of Deddington-hall, was shot yesterday week, by a gang of poachers, and had not assistance arrived it is more tban probable the keeper would have shared the same fate.

On her return, she told the portrw not to come into her rooms until late the next morning' as she felt fatigued, and wished to sleep longer anal usual. At the same time she asked for a charcor4hrazier' to enable her to warm some coffee. She had given an appointment for the next morning to a gentleman who arrived. at nine o'clock, and rang the bell, of Mdlt, Marthe's apartments, without receiving any answer. xi: then,went to the portress, and obtaineda key of the apart' ment.

THE INHABITANTS OF HOLTHEA.D have presented a petition to her Majesty, requesting that she will be graciously pleased to allow the new harbour to be called the " Royal Victoria Harbour." It is a magnificent place, and would afford accommodation for 100 sail of ships, and forms a perfect basin, where ships can at all times lay in perfect security. THE FOUNDATION STONE of a new building for the Athenaeum, at Melbourne, Derbyshire, has been laid by Lord Palmerston, who followed up the formal ceremonial by an address on the advantages which such an institution was capable of conferring. The building, which has been commenced, is to be erected after designs by Air. Stevens, of Derby, at an estimated cost of about £7OO. It will provide accommodation for an Infants' School, a Mechanics' Institute, and a Savings Bank. LORD LONDESBORGUGH, it is Said, has completed the purchase of the Seisby estate for £270,000, from the Hon. Mrs. Petre, widow of the Hon. E. Petre, of Selby. Mrs, Petre, who was left sole executrix to her husband, with the property at her own' disposal, has taken the veil in France ; and the whole of her property will of course go to the funds of the nunnery which she has entered. A SINGULAR SUICIDE occurred last week in the coffeeroom of the Cathedral Hotel, London. A young man named George F. Stanley Smith, who was shortly to have been married, swallowed prussic acid, which occasioned his death. From a paper found in his pocket, it is inferred that he committed the fatal act, in consequence of feeling an inferiority of merit, in himself, to the young lady with whom he was about to be united. A TRAIN on the York and Scarborough Railway was, on Wednesday last, discovered to be on fire. On this line, it seems, luggage is carried on the roofs of passenger carriages, and on the occasion referred to, it is presumed, a spark from the engine had alighted on a pile of luggage, and fanned by the current of air induced by the motion of the train, speedily involved the pile in flames. Fortunately the fire was discovered, and the burning luggage removed, before any very serious damage took place. Several of the passengers, however, were seriously alarmed by the occurrence.

HOIISEBICEAKEIL—On Thursday, the house of Mr. Edwin Stott, farmer, Westholme, was entered and robbed about noon. Suspicion fell upon a man named Mills, who was believed to have committed Many depredations in the neighbourbood, and he was apprehended. He was brought to Oldham, and, along with a man named Caughall,remanded till Monday. They were placed in separate cells, and the regulations of the chief-constable are, that all prisoners be visited every half-hour, night and day. Sergeant Parker visited Mills' cell about 20 minutes to five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, and was relieved at five o'clock by another officer, whose duty it was to see that all was right when he received charge. This officer went down at five o'clock, and found Mills suspended by his braces from a bar in the window of his cell. He was instantly cut down, and he afterwards groaned once, and seemed to breathe twice. An inquest was held, when the father of the deceased stated that no symptoms of insanity, weakness, or despondency, had ever been observed in his son or any of the family. The jury returned a verdict of felo de se. The coroner explained that the law required that the body should be interred within twenty-four hours after the verdict, and between the hours of nine and twelve o'clock at night. The verdict having been delivered before nine o'clock, it became imperative that the interment should take place that night. He, therefore, issued his warrant to the police authorities, requiring them to see to its fulfilment. The body was interred in the lower part of the church-yard, about a quarter to twelve o'clock, without any ceremony or observance whatever. The excitement of some of the crowd at the time seemed so great that it was feared that an attempt would be made to take the body up again z but shortly after twelve o'clock the crowd had dispersed, and no disturbance IN bateTer occurred.
