THE GRENADIER Guaitos.—A ruffian, named Patrick Donelly, be- longing to the First Regiment, was committed from Queen Square, on a charge of a brutal assault on a female, on Monday last, followed up by a violent attack on the police constable who sought to seize him. His sergeant, who was in attendance, said he bore the worst of charac- ters; he was continually drunk and assaulting people. [How came such a person to be retained in the regiment ?]
SNUGGLING.—A very large seizure of tobacco took place at Liver- pool a few days ago, on board the Mercurius, from Antwerp and Flush-
pg. The quantity was not much short of fifteen tons. The vessel, it is said, has been in the habit of smuggling on an extensive scale. The goods were landed outside of the port. The information was given by one of the parties who had agreed to purchase the tobacco.
THE BIGAMY CASE.-NO tidings, so far as the public are aware, have been received as to the place of Mr. Stanley's retreat, or of his
future intentions. The sale of the furniture at Crimbles House, on Thursday and Friday, was numerously attended, and it is said that many of the articles were knocked down at more than their original cost, so anxious were the lovers of " something remarkable" to possess a relic of the wonderful man who had married two wives. Mrs. Stanley and her son have left Leeds for London.—Leeds Intelligencer.
LORD GEORGE PAGET.—On Sunday evening, as Lord George Paget, a fine boy of about thirteen years of age, was riding a spirited horse in Hyde Park, it ran off with him, through Cumberland Gate and down Cumberland Street. The youthful and unfortunate rider kept his seat for some time ; but his courage failing him, he at last let go the reins; in consequence of which, the horse came down, and he was thrown with great violence. His forehead and face were se- verely cut and bruised ; and he lies, in great danger, at the house of Mr. Gray, surgeon in Bryanstone Square, to which he was carried by a person who was passing and witnessed his fall.
Ma. KINNEAR.—This gentleman, an eminent merchant in the City, and the well-known partner of the house of Kinnear and Co. bankers, Edinburgh, died suddenly on Tuesday night, at his house in Regent's Park. He had gone to bed in apparently good health and spirits, and was found by his servant on Wednesday morning, dead and cold. A Coroner's inquest was held on the body on Thursday; and after some discussion, the Jury directed the body to be opened ; when it was dis- covered that the immediate cause of Mr. Kinnear's death was the rup- ture of a blood-vessel in the stomach. Some idle rumours of poisoning had been circulated ; but, as now appears, without the slightest found- ation. Mr. Kinnear was not quite forty years of age. His wife and eight children were at Brighton when he died.
THE' LATE SIR FREDERICK BAKERACCOIding to the evidence produced before the Coroner, it appeared that the sweeps of the mill by which'Sir Frederick was killed were in motion at the time he ascended the platform ; but, being short-sighted, it is supposed he could not distinguish whether they went round within or without the gallery. Oxesac ACID.—On Sunday, a female named Harris, the -wife of the steward of an Indiaman, poisoned herself in Catherine Street, Commer- cial Road, by swallowing an ounce of oxalic acid. She died in about an hour after taking the poison. MORE Gux A c CIDENTs.—A fine young man, son of Mr. Flowers, a Magistrate of Middlesex, was killed on Friday, by the accidental going off of his gun. He had entered a garden near the road, on the invita- tion of the gardener, and in doing so laid down his gun across a laurel bush; on seizing it by the muzzle when leaving the garden, a twig /taught the trigger, and the whole of the contents were lodged in his side. Again, we would ask, why do not parents see that none but safety-guns are permitted in their mansions ? SHIPWRECK.—A Dutch vessel, laden with dry fish, was wrecked lately on the Erris coast, and three of the crew out of nine perished.
The remainder were robbed, by the country people, of all the clothes and property they had saved from the wreck. So much for Irish hospi- tality. A subscription for the sufferers was afterwards made at West- port.
