Jge-streer , Bermondsey Xew-town . Tne part : e , concerned moved in a verv humble sphere of JKe , .-till the occurrence , lamentable and fearful , as will lie seen by the subjoined proceedings at the inquest , caused considerable excitement in Bermondsey , Hoekkead , the vicinity of Tooleystreet , and in the Borough . —On Saturday last , at ialf-past three o ' clock , the inquest was held by Mr .

, ^• ootaiaker , living in the same house with tho de-< : e-iserf p « TJ . ? 035 - ** ? td ; About liRlf-past four eo . Friday afternoon , the little girl , Harriot Newman ,, was ¦ wanted by !'«? , aud Mh . Staines , the landlady of the house , " called her , and she went for a loaf of bread for me and -br-rju-rht it . She was then in . good health . Having executed the errand , she wens up stairs to her mother ' s room on the first floor . In about five minutes she came nmningdown , screaming , and crying " Oh dear I" XJpon this my -wife opened the door of our room , which is on ihe ground floor back , and the little girl ran in . 1 saw that blood was streaming down her person from her throat , and said " What ' s to do ? " She replied , "Mother has done this . " I jumped up and aaid ,
" Oh , dear , her throat is cm ! " Mrs . Staines , the landlauv , came running in from the hack yard and said , «' " Go for a doctor . " As I was going the little girl followed me , and assoun as she got into the street she fell into the arms of Mrs . Horn , living next door , whose son went for medical assistance , ¦ w hich arrived in about tea or fifteen minutes . She was then carried up stairs , and put into a warm batb , and I understand she die <{ in ten minutes afterwards . The name of the fatter of the child is John Newman , and he is a . mason ' s labourer . He was not at home whes this happpned , and there was no one there at the time on » TlS ' . to his wife . I went up stairs with the woundc glS , and saw her mother ly ing en the floor under lie window , with her head towards the bedstead , ana her throat cut extensively . She was dressed . There was a great
pool of blood about her on tlie floor . She was dead . I saw an open razor covered with blood in the doctor ' s hand . I apprehend she caused her own death and that of her daughter . I am satisfied on the point . The landlady was in the yard at the time , and my wife was with me in my room . There was nobodv else in the house . I think she cut the child ' s throat first , and then her own . 1 had not seen the mother , Mrs . Xewmau , for three weeks , because daring tbat time she was confined to her bed and room with rheumatic fever . She had been under medical treatment . A gentleman from a dispensary attended her . —Other evidence having been given , the jury returned the following verdict : — « ' That the deceased , Harriet "Newman , was wilfully murdered by her mother , Mary AnnaXewman , aud that the said Mary Anna Newman committed suicide , Oein" at the time in an unsound state of mind . "
Cokosbr ' s Lno , oest . —Mtsterioos Death of a Jjadt . —An investigation , which did not terminate until nearly one o ' clock on Satudray morning last ¦ was opened on Friday afternoon , before Mr . TVakley , the coroner , and a jury of householders of Marylebone , at the Buffalo ' s Uead tavern , Newroad , as to the circumst ances connected with the death of Mrs . Elizabeth Killy , aged seventy , an independent lady of large fortune , residing at No . 9 , Xortinghani-terraee , llegenrs-park . The proceedings , from the rumours afloat on the subject , had excited great interest , it being alleged thr-t tlie deceased had died in a very mysterious and suspicious manner , leaving property te tho value of £ 30 , 000 , which was claimed by Captain Frederick Corner ( late of tbe Indian army ) , as the alleged son of the deceased lady , who had never been married , and ¦ who had a will in his pocket , stated to have been made by the deceasedleaving the whole of the
de-, ceased lady's property to him . The registrar had refused to register the death , and hence the ir . « quest . The jury having viewed the body ofthe deceased , which lay at her residence , Margaret Liddell , a servant , was first examined , and stated that she found deceased in her bed in a state of insensibility , in which condition she lay for several hours and then died . Captain Corner , deceased ' s son , was aware of her condition , but no medical man ¦ was sent for . She could not in any way account for deceased ' s death . Believed she had left a great deal of property . The Coroner , after hearing this evidence , consulted with tbe jury , and resolved to adjourn the inquiry till nine o ' clock the same evenins for a post mortem examination of the body , which was entrusted to Mr . Gilliam , the head surgeon of Marylebone Infirmary . On there-assembling of the jury , Captain Frederick Corner was examined , lie said he was the son ofthe deceased
lady , who was seventy years of age . She had been sickly many times , but always had " an abhorrence of doctors , and would never have medical advice until about four months since , when a friend of his prescribed for her . The name of bis friend was Dr . Frith , of New-cross , Deptford . He prescribed some pills for her , but she only took two or three , and positively refused to take any more . He repeatedly advised the deceased to have advice , and so did the servant , but without effect . —By tbe Coroner : The deceased bad made a will five years since , in which she had left all her property , which was very considerable , to him . He had that will in his possession now , and bad had it ever since it ¦ was made , five years ago . On tbe Coroner asking why , when he found his parent so near death , be had not sent for a medical man , be replied * . As a dutiful son , he did not feel justified in going beyoad
the wish of a parent , and therefore be sent for no one . Anne Meredith , a charwoman , stated that she was employed at deceased ' s house . She had never seen deceased until within about throe minutes of her death , when she was called to look at her . She knew the family through the kindness of Captain Corner to her late husband some time before bis death . Always understood the captain to be the son of the deceased lady , but could in no way account for the death of Mrs . Kelly . Mr . Gilliam , head surgeon of Marylebone Infirmary , was then examined , and deposed that he had made a vost mortem examination . He found the brain lungs , intestines , and liver all perfectly healthy . The stomach appeared nearly empty , and he could not detect any evidences of poison . Tho heart was rather fatty , but the ventricles were all healthy . On the coroner inquiring what was the actual cause of death . Mr . Gilbam stated that it was
inexplicable . There was no disease of any organ , or anything to indicate what had been the cause of death . It was impossible to say what was the actual cause of death . Captain Corner ( iu answer to a juryman as to why he applied to St . Marylebone workhouse on the subject of the death ) said his object was to register the death ; but , finding he could not "et it registered , he applied to the corouer s officer ; and the coroner , upon the facts bang communicated to aim , issued his wan-ant for tae inquest . The coroner , having remarked upon tho singular ch aracter ofthe case , the jury returned * Jf 2 X ? Terdict - "That the deceased had i &< ? Vome »? ttt cause unknown to the jury nation » ° ^^ * ° ™ rlemeLmi .

Singular Accidekt is the-. LoMJas-Road . —Oa-Tuesday morning , about three o ' clock , an accident of rather a remarkable character , happened in tbe Lcn ? don Road , Southwark , of which the following are the particulars : —It-appears that for some time , a drain has been in course of construction , in order to carry ; off tbe sewerage from theroadiuto ous- of the back streets . The earth having been excavated , to the depth of five or six-feet , some two or three feet wide , and seven or eight feet in length , was sheared , round on Monday night with scaffold- poles , and . two meat left to take care ofthe lanthorns ,. and to see that the candles were not allowed to go out . Tbe men , it seems , fell asleep or neuleeted to trim the lights , for . the latter went out ,, and left lhe hoarding in such a condition that it could not be perceived , by . an
ordinary traveller , until he arrived within a . few feet of- , the hole . A man driving a cab was placed . in that dilemma , for in passing along the road the horse dashed through , the scaffolding , and immediately , fell into the aperture iu the ground . The cab being , toa . large to enter the sewer , remained above ; , but the weight of the horse was so great that it broke the shafts away from the carriage , and being entangled , against the earth , walls of the sewer ,, it was found impossible to get him out alive , audi after struggling for some time the animal became suffocated .. The horse is described as being a very valuable one ; tbe less will , therefore , be somewhat considerable as the vehicle is much damaged . The driver received ^ a , severe shock by being thrown from his cab , but wascomparatively unhurt .

Poisoning At Thurlow.—Another Disgracefu...
Poisoning at Thurlow . —Another disgraceful attempt at poisoning has occurred at Thurlow , near Haverhill , whereby a family of five persons have nearly been sacrificed . It appears they were attacked with violent pains and sickness , soon after partaking of a puddiug ; for a considerable time they were in great danger ; but fortunately medical assistance was near , and by judicious management , and from the peculiar effect in some instances where arsenic has been administered in large doses , vomiting took place . It is hoped tbat no death will be tbe result , but the sufferers are still in a precarious state . The vile attempt was soon known , and the village
was in a state of great excitement . Suspicion attached to a man in the house , who had been known to have purchased arsenic within tbe last fortnight , sold by a Tillage shopkeeper in violation ofthe recent law to prevent tbe sale of that deadly poison ; and it is hoped the penalty will be levied to make example for others . A meeting of magistrates took place on Saturday , and it was determined that the fullest investigation should take place . Mr . Bates , of Thvtvlow , the medical gentleman who has the case in hand , was requested to take portions of the suspected pudding that had been vomited , and various samples of flour , to Mr . Deck , of Cambridge , who has subjected them to a rigid analysis , the result of which has proved tbe presence of a large quantity of arsenic in the pudding , and in two quantities of flour . The
suspected person was immediately taken into custody , and a meeting of magistrates has been called at Haverhill , before whom Mr . Deck is summoned to give evidence , when it is hoped that the perpetrator of this diabolical attempt at wholesale murder will be discovered . The affair has thrown light upon many severe cases of sudden illness that have lately taken place in this village , not parties connected with the family . Great mystery is attached to the affair , as no motive can be imputed to tbe suspected party . —Cambridge Chronicle . T & a filiating island near the head of Derwent Lake , Keswick , made its appearance for the first time this season at the close of last week . Tbe extent of ground above water is considerably greater than usual , and appears to be well covered with grass . — Carlisle Patriot .
Another Casb of am , eoed Oabd Cheating . —It will be remembered that during tbe investigations at Brighton into the sufficiency of one of the proposed bail in the late charge of card cheating in that town reference was made to another case of a similar kind , affecting one of the accused parties . The bail baring been refused by the magistrates nothing was then done as regarded the second case ; but , since the acceptance ot bail by Mr . Baron Martin , an application has been made by Mr . Sill , of Tavistock . row , the solicitor for the prosecution in the Brighton case , to the magistrates of Newmarket , where the alleged fraud is said to have taken place during the races a considerable time ago , and a warrant has been accordingly granted against the accused party . Without entering into further particulars in the present stage of the proceeding , we
may state that duplicates of the warrant hayebeen placed in the hands of the police , and that the party in question has been traced to Paris . —Sunday Times Mobdeb ar A Pbmalk at Daventbv .-t- The town of Daventry , in Northampton , was last week in a state of great excitement , in consequence of the murder of a respectable married woman named Elizabeth Pinckard , who resided in a lonely house about a mile from the town . It appears that on Monday the husband of tbe deceased left home about nine o'clock with a horse and cart to attend a fair some miles distant , and was accompanied by his son , a man of middle age , holding a small farm in the village of Thrupp . They were absent the whole day . Towards the afternoon a person named Bird happened to pass the house , and seeing the door open he entered , and discovered to

his horror , tfae deceased in a sitting posture in one corner of the room , a corpse . Sho . had a piece of narrow tape , suob as is used for . ' apron ' stringsy tied round the throat , and fastened to a small hook in the window Wind . On the husband ' s return he at once suspected that she had been murdered , though the prevailing opinion at the time was that it was a case of suicide . Circumstances , however , have come to light which have induced the police of the town to effect the capture of Mrs . Pinckard , the wife of the deceased ' s son , on suspicion of having murdered the old lady . The deceased , it seems some time since , had left her by an uncle the interest of £ 1 , 000 , which at her death was to be divided among her children . She had onl y one child the j
, husband of the prisoner . The inducement for depriving the unfortunate female of her life is supposed to ha vejbeen to obtain possession of the £ 1 000 . Her husband , it appears , was in difficulties , ' and ' there was a distress on the farm , The prisoner was seen to leave tbe house of the deceased about three quarters of an hour prior to the discovery of ! the murder , Tbe body , when examined , was covered with wounds and bruises . The tnqust was r & sumed on Aid */ last at the Town Hall when evidence was adduced confirming the above details . It was again adjourned . The prisoner is about fifty-five years of age . —The inquest in this case has been brought to a eibse . The jury have returned
a verdict of " Wilful Harder " against Elizabeth Irokhsyd , and the wjetched woman was duly committed on' the coroner ' s warrant for trial at 4 he Spring Assizes , The Lai < b- Visit op TE ^ Qffras to Manchester ,, —The casualties attendant upom the royal visit were very few , ba & it is to be regretted that two of them were attended with loss of life . A girl named ' Louisa Teel was shot in tlie- eye- by the wadding from a cannon fired by a youticnamed James Alcock , 'and be was on Tuesday committed for manslaughter . An infant was ai & o squeezed to death'in its mother ' s arm ? on friday'night , and a Man was crushed by a- cart wheel against a barrier .

The ratepayers of that county are told the demands of the government ' are unjust in- principle and incorrect in the details ; and they are in substance advised to stand by tfce ^ guardians ; , who are resolved to repudiate if a liberal extension of time be not granted .

A Dublin- letter in the 'Limericfc Chronicle " supplies tbe-following statistics , in reference to the emigration from the former port ; - -- ' - ' Talking of emigration , jfr'is-idle to ask— ' Wue rewill it end ?' Why it is only beginning . In the Lifiey this moment there are three vessels advertised to sail this weekthe Coronet { ftoohe , Brothers ) , an admirable ship , capable of accommodating comfortably- 300 passengers ; the Samuel ( James Milley ) , alsoabout 300 ; and another shy-looking craft , rather the worse lor wear , which has been christened the British Queen , belonging to-a third house . Here , then * this very week , nearly l ) OO 0 'people will leave this-port alone direct for the ' Model Republic . ' But this aBords a very imperfect idea of the depopulating , drain which
is going on , and which is fast causing Ireland literally to sink-into the bosom of the Atlantic ; We have two companies , youiare- aware , engaged in a goods and passenger traffic between Dublin and' Liverpool —the old-established Gity . ? of Dublin Steam Packet Company , anditsnew rival , the Scotch ' 'Company . Tbe former- starts two- steamers every-night , and when the demand renders it necessary , athirdj each containing between 300 'and-400 passengers ,- ninetynine out of 100 'being intending emigrants-proceeding to take their berths in vessels lyingihv Liverpool . The Scotch . Company has one vessel every vevening , but it is also invariably supplied . So that we have this result staring us in the face ; from > this-port alone , either-direct to America or via Liverpool , j / ou
have an exodus of the I risk people to the tune of at least 7 , 00 &? every week . Roche , Brothers , alone have within- the last nine-months despatched upwards of 8 , 060 'emigrants for shipment to-Liverpool . A close-observing friend , who returned'this morning from a tour ¦¦ in Tipperary , . Limerick ,-. and Clare , assures me tbat if the current of migration proceeds in its pregent . fuiy and rapid flood , Ireland , if inhabited at all in-fi 7 e years hence , will not be peopled-by Irishmen—at , least so far as the south and west are concerned . t The people , he alleges , v ho have been in the habit . of paying thirty shillings an acre will not now remain-on the land if it were redaeed to twenty shillings or tea shillings—they wilt have it at no price . Tbeir isinds are completely aiade up to go
after friendsr—ts > go home , that home aot being , Ottld Ireland , ' but the ' Far ivest , ' In parish after parish he found hundreds of the people on the eve of stating for the nearest seaport , . the principal delay dn both cases-beiag caused by , the necessity of turning tlie crops : into cash . It is not for ma to moralize-.-on this condition of things—unprecedented in the history of - { the . people since the days of * Moses—but . it might be . a . very proper theme for the study of the first Cabinet Council that ia announced to beheld .

Tub Famine LoAss . —At a public meeting on tlie subject ot repayment of the famine loans , held in Ballinasloe , the chairman ( Lord Clancarty ) . specifically denied that tho guardians of the various unions do not intend at all to repay the advances made by government , and that they " repudiate tbe debt altogether . " They are willing to pay all the debts that are due ; but before paying , they must have a full "bill of particulars . " The government had itself spent the money , and wasted it in useless and mischievous works , which only had the effect of demoralising tbe people ; andbefore payment of
, that money was demanded , a full account of the manner in which it was expended should be given . Other speakers , chiefly members of parliament , followed on the same tack ; and the meeting resolved , tbat" a careful investi gation ought to be entered upon before committees of the two houses of parliament , to ascertain to what amount repayment can with justice be demanded and insisted on , with due regard to the interests and circumstances of the country . " Another resolution declared that if the monies wasted on useless public works had been applied to such a great object us improving Galway harbour , with tho ultimate view of Transatlantic communication , vast present evils would have been averted ; and , therefore , the meeting resolved , in conclusion , that "tho time has arrived fOl' the formation Of a Transatlantic lXcset Company , " in which they pledged themselves to taUe shares .

Last Exploit Of The Ffikxcb? Lion Klftle...
LAST EXPLOIT OF THE FfiKXCB ? LION KlftLEB . ThO' ' Journal des Chasseurs' publishes She following ? letter , addressed to a friend by li . ' . Jules Gerard , an officer of thei ' rench army , distinguished for h ' w lion-killing exploits-: — Mt ' iIbar Leon , —In my > narrative of the risonth of August ,. 1850 , I spoke of a ? large old lion which I had not bean able to fall in with , and of whossr-aex and age I fiad formed a notion from his roarings . On the return of tbe expeditionary column from ffabylia , # asked permission' from General St . Armand to go and explore theUhe lairs situated On the northern 1 declivity of Mount Aares , in tbe environs of Klenchela , where I had left my aniroalj Instead of a fbriough I received'a-miasion for that
country , and aceordingly had during two months I to shut my eariragainst the daily reports that were brought to me by the Arabs of tba-misdeeds of the i solitary . In th ' a-beginning of September , when my : mission was terminated , I proceeded'to pitch my jtent in the midst ? of the district iftWIrted by the . lion , and set about , my investigations-round about : the douars to wbi & h he paid the'afiost frequent jvisits . In this manner I spent many ; a night beneath the open sky ^ ,-without any satisfactory result , When , on the 15 th , ill ihe morning , after a heavy rain which had lasted' till midnight , some- natives , ; w-ho had , explored 'the cover , came and informed me that the lion was ensconced within hal £ a league of my tont . I set out at three o ' clocktaking with
, toie ah Arab to hold say horse , another carrying my arms , and a third in charge of a goat -most decidedly unconscious of the important part it was about to perform . Having alighted at the- elsirt of tho wood , I directed myself towards a glade situated in the midst of ; the haunt , where I found a shrub to which I could'Jtie the goat , and a turf or two to sit upon . The Arabs , went and crouched down beneath tho cove ? ,. at a distance of about 100 paces . I had been there < about a quarter of an hour , the'goat meanwhile bleating with all its might , when a covey of partridges , got up behind me , uttering their usual cry when surprised . I looked about-me in every direction , but could see nothing . Meanwhile the goat had censed crying , and its eyes
were intently fixed at mer- She madean attempt to breakaway from tho fastening , and then begun io tremble in all her limbs .- At these symptoms of fright regain turned round ,, and perceived behind me , about fifteen paces cir * the lion stretched -out at the foot of a juniper tree ,- through tho branches of which he was surveying- us and making wi * y faces . IA tbe position I was-in ii was impossible for me to-fire without faciag-abo » t . I tried to fire from theleftshoulder butfcltawkward . I turned gently round without rising ,. Ilwas in a favourable position , and just as I was- levelling my piece tbe lion stoodup and began to show me all his teeth , at tho same time shaking his headj . ae much as to say . ' What the devil are you doing , there ? ' I did no * hesitate a moment , and fiwd at his mouth .
Theanimal fell on the spofcas if struck by lightning * My men ran up at the shot ,. and as-they were eagsi * to lay hands on the lion , I ' sfifced a second time be * tween the-eyes in orden-to-secure his lying perfectly still . The first bullet had taken the course of the aphte throughout itsi-entire length , passing , through the marrow , aaa had come out at the tail . I had never before fired a shot that penetrated so deeply , and yet I ' had only loaded with sixty grains . It is true- tho- riSe was one of Devisme ' a and tbe bullets-steel-pointed . The lion , a black one and among the oldest IJiave ever shot , supplied the 4 ettles of four- companies of infantry who were stationed at Klenchelu .

Mtrbnesj*-*The Inhabitants Of Wissons, I...
MtrBnESj * - * The inhabitants of Wissons , in the canton of Ldngjumeau ( Seine et Oise ) , have just been thrown into great commotion by the murder of a respectable farmer , named Baioche , residing in the naigbbourhoodo . it appears that the deceased , who-was about £ 6 * -years of age , and well oC in the world , had a considerable quantity of land which be fai-med himselfi His wife lived with him , and an only son , a youag . man of twenty-two yeara of age . Jtiia latter having formed an attachment to a young , girl in the eominune , asked his father ' s consent to marry her .-. This was-aefused , as tho father of . the young girl was only a labourer . Af . ter the raCusal , the soandeclnred that it was useless
to opposavhis wishes , as he would-aever marry any other woman . Last , Tuesday , tbafelder Balochs went to . Paris with a load of cora ? and in coming home pv . aahascd manure at several places along the road , soias in the end to make upa . full load . Ilia frequeni-stoppin <* s had consunied * a great amount of time , r , so that it was dusk when he drew near home . Tbe son , finding that his father did not return , tsld his mother that he would go to meet him . 3 e ,-returned in about an hour with the cart , saying that his father would awive in a few minutes . Half an hour having © lapsed without tho father appearing , the mother became uneasy , aad tho soa ^' said he would go to nee what kept him . He acsordingly wsnt , accompanied by a lad
belonging tcf > the farm ,, night hi » vi [ ig .-aet in at the time . After going soms . distance the son declared that he saw tasiathev . lyiug on the groiuiy . The lad observed that it was too dark to . seo anything , and nearly . two minuses elapsed befose they came to the spofcwere the elder Baloche was l ying on the ground pierced with s-averal wounds from a sharp insi-rument ; ia the breast and intestines . They called cut for .-nid , and affcer a time a light being brought , it was- discovo ? ed that he waa-dead . The body , was then , carried-, to his own house , and on the palico being sent for , they decided , ibat there was suSici-8 i > t presumption against tha son to warrant his . arrest . 3 ! hp young man pretested his innocence , i but it was . decided that ha should be taken into
Longjuaieau , to be interrogated by tho judge de paix . Accordingly he w-aa placed in a car * with wo g-sndarmes behind him , and the driver in . front . On the way the prisoner complained of being dread * fully jolted , and insisted , on , having part of the bar * ness altered on the he * se . The man alighted and was shortening the tiaces , when the prisoner suddenly jumped down and . made off across-the fields . The gendarmes pursusd him but could not come up with him . For some days he escaped detection , but at last informatioa was received ibat he w ' aa concealed in the house of the father of the girl to whom he ¦ was attached . Search being instituted there he was found hid under a heap of straw Care was taken this time that ho should not escape ,
and ho was safely lodged in confinemwitat Corbell . Results ov tub Gkbat Foreign Invasion . —Our foreign visitors havo neither burnt our houses about our ears » nor endeavoured to overturn our government , nor run away with our daughters . They have behaved themselves peaceably and good-naturedly , and havo borae with our littl & peculiarities amiably . Moreover , they have paid for what they have had , liko honest men . May I bo permitted to surmise that from this mutual sight-seeing and metropolis-visiting , this international f & te-giving and hand-shaking , some iifctle , somo trifling good may arise ? It is too wild a thought to hope that owy children will not quite believe that tho French necessarily cat frogs and
are all dancing-masters—that every Italian gentleman carries a otiletto in his bosom , and a bowl of poison in his left-hand pocket— that German babies are weaned on sauer-kraut—that revenge is the one inevitable passion with with all S paniards are possessed-and that the unvarying fate of all Turkish ladies is to be sown up in sacks and cast into tbe Besphorus ? Is it really impossible that our grandchildren may discard those logends altogether ? On the other . haml , it strikes me that our continental neighbours will not henceforward be quite so decided ns heretofore in their notions and impressions respecting us ; I don ' t think wo shall be called
" perfidious Albion'' quite so frequently , j am of opinion that the editors of forei gn nowspa-peva mU no longer declare that we live on raw beefsteaks , and occasionally eat the winners of our Derbies ; that every nobleman takes his •¦ ho uledoguo' * to court with him ; that wo are in tho daily habit of selling our wives in Smithficld . market ; and that during the month of November three-fourths of tho population of London commit suicide . Altogether , I think that a little peace , and a little good-will , « nd a little brotherhood among nati « ns 7 will resuit from the foreign invasion j and tbat it will , in future , bo no longer a matter of course , that i-ocause 50 , 000 Frenchmen in blue coats and red
trousers met 50 , 000 Englishmen in blue trousers and red coats , they must all fall to , and cut and blow each other to atoms . — Dickens ' s Household Words .

In the tnean time , Ade had also been secured , and an inquiry . < .

The- lovers havingheard that the baron had already S ^ ed on a husband for his daughter ,- resolved to start ; for Gretna-graen , in England / in order to celebrate their marriape , and they made their arrangements so well that they got off undisoorered , and it was only through tho indiscretion of one of their friends that the baron
got scent of'the road the fugitives bad taKon .. A pursuit immediately took place , and , in co n ^ sequence of an accident which' occurred to their carriage , the ^ lovers were overtaken a few miles from Dover , aud the young lady brought back to her home . The baron has , as above stated , commenced judicial proceedings against the inamoratCo —Oalignani . The Bishop'o ? Exetkb and the Vicau of St . ' Andrew ' s , Pur-Mourn . —Ciroumotances have occurred in connexion with tho appointment of a clergyman to the living of Christchurch , vacant by the removal of the Rev . Richard-- Malone to Slri Matthew's , Westminster , which-render it more than probable-that the appointment will still be filled up by tha ^ RSev . John Hatchawl . The bishop ,
it will be remembered , objected to the Rev . Mr . Grey , who was the first clergyman named by Mr , . Hatchard , on the ground that he was not up to the mark on the baptismal question : Mr . Ifatehard . then nominatedtfieRev . T . G . Pcstlethwaitc , when . he was informed that he being a clerk in holy orders , ought to- have made a better nomination in the first instance , and that he had no right to nominate a second ; Thereupon the bishop put the living under sequestration , and , taking possession , sent the Rev -WC B . Flower to-do the duty in church . There was too much reason to feiir that Mr . Hatchard had really lost the appointment , but it happened that Mr . Grey waa-rejected by the Bishop of Exetsron the 28 th of June , while Mri Malone was net-licensed as incumbent to his church
till the 7 th day-of August . Tbe former business ^ respecting Mr . -Grey , tberefore , vnaS for nothing ,, and as if nothing- had passed on this subject , Mr - Hatchard , we beliave , wrote to the bishop , and ^ again nominatsd- Mr .

Tho ¦ eommunication-from the bishop ' s ' -agent to which I we havo referred came down on Sunday last , and we suppose thai " -on the morning of that day Mr .

to expect a furoher reference tonis position . ^ . In the evening he preached his farewell sermon , stating that hs-shouUl not probably again oseupy that pulpit .
