oamed Shelley , at 1 , Viacent-court , Westminster , where , on bunday afternoon , the deceased asked young Shelley for a penny , which she said he owed her , but which he denied , and she struck him on the face . He told her if she did so again , he would bit her with the yoker ; and she threw a Ku'le at him , but it fell at his feet . He took up tho poker , and afterward s admitted he struck her with it . A Uttle girl named Jessop , who was in tho room , was frightened ?? 'an lnto the yard . Shelley ran out of the house , and the deceased followed him and threw part of a shovel after him . She was afterwards taken to the Westminster Hospital . Mr . Holt and Mr . Alford saw her there , and discovered a scalp wound on the left side of the head , and symptoms came on the next evening as if the brain was affected . She gradually got worse , and died the next morning . Upon
opening the body there was no corresponding mark under the wound on the brain , but there was a softening of the white matter of the cerebellum . Tho heart and kidneys were greatly diseased , and a very slight blow , Mr . Alford said , if it interfered with the circulation , would be likely to produce fatal consequences . The death , he considered , was the result ; of concussion of the brain , arising from the blow . The jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter " against George jhelley . Removal of the Wood Pavemext fbom Holbohk . — Preparations have been commenced for the removal of the wood pavement from Little Turnstile eastward towards Chancery-lane , to be replaced by Aberdeen granite .

dilapidated condition of the wood pavement ; and several serious , and two fatal , accidents occasioned by it opposite Dean-street . The Misie Riflb . —On'Wednesday the non-commissioned officers assembled aeain in the marshes , and the practice was carried on by fife firing , first at 200 yards range , second at 400 yards , third at COO yards , and last at S 00 yards ; each non-commisioned officer firing five rounds at each of the above ranges , or twenty rounds by each man . It is supposed these experiments will conclude the practice with the Minie rifle for the present at Woolwich , the firing of the non-commissioned officers , without rests , at 200 , 400 , 600 , and 800 yards' ranges being all that could be wished , and a proof that they have acquired , under the instruction of Major Brownrigg , a thorough knowledge of the use of tlie new arm .

" Deceased then added , "If anything should happen to me by being killed on the railway , you must bury mo in the same grave as my dear wife . " Witness
remonstrated with him , and told him he must be mad . Deceased replied " Never mind ; I am quite well , but fear I shall not live long . " They then went out for a walk , and , having returned , partook of a little weak brandy and water , after which deceased got up from his chair , and said he was going home to bed . —Martha Brown proved that the deceased came home quite sober on Sunday eYening . f'and while she was up stairs , she heard the splashing of water , and on going into the back garden , she saw the feet of a man projecting over the top of the water-butt , which was filled with water . Witness raised an alarm , when several persons came in and got the deceased out , but he was quite dead .

A large number cf witnesses were examined , from whose evidence it appeared that about sixty men were at work a quarter of a mile distant from the " opening gang » of five to which tbe deceased belonged ; and the safety of this body of workmen was insured by the attendance of a policeman , in addition
to an overlooker , so that they might be dulv warned when an engine appeared in view . It did not seem , however , to he usual to use the same precaution in the case of the small " opening gangs : " but it was proved that in this instance the whistle of the engine had been sounded in ample timo to allow of the escape of the deceased , had the sound not been deadened by the noise of another passing train The jury , after a short consultation , returned a verdict of " Accidental death , " accompanied with the following recommendatios . —• ' That , in order to prevent the recurrence of any catastrophe of the kind , the directors of the company or the contractors of any works upon this line of railway should station a persan or superintendent over every gan » theTram 0 ^' ^ sufficient int ™ : iUon of the approach of Loxg SDTIOS .-A whole family , at Long Sutton , have been nearly poisoned from partaking of a pudding boiled ma pan which hadI been . recently used by a relation for boihcg arsenic It had been subsequently scalednnd f hi *

Discovert op as Alleged Mordeb . — Within the past week a statement was made by a woman residing at Pickup Bank , near Blackburn , who supposed that she was on her death-bed at the time , of a nature calculated to implicate a man , whom she stated she knew , in the murder of a man named Walsh , who resided at tbat place , and who suddenly and mysteriously was missed from his home about twenty-five years ago . The woman ' s statement was to the effect that one night , about the time that Walsh disappeared , a man now living , and known to her , came to her house , and from his depressed and melancholy appearance she asked him what was the matter , when he stated tbat he had murdered Walsh , and thrown his body into a coal-pit in the neighbourhood . She added that she could not bear to leave the world without divulging her
guilty knowledge of the murder of the deceased , and tho place where the body had been concealed , with the view of bringing the murderer to justice . Since this statement was made the woman has recovered , and denies all knowledge of tho matter , and says she must have been unconscious when she made the statement . The relatives of the deceased have , however , it is said , taken up the matter , and headings have been fixed to the pit mouth into which tho body wa 3 said to be thrown , with the view of drawing off the water , which is several yards deep , and searching for the body . Should the body be found , identification will in all probability be impossible , from the long period it has been in the pit , but the presence of any remains of it might lead to , 1 discovery of the mysterious occurrence . — Preston Mot .

John Whatmore and her son , about Beven years old , were proceeding in a gig from Ludlow to Bridgnorth , the horse took fright , and set off at full speed , in spite of the exertions of a powerful man who was driving it . The horso came with such violence against the Harpswood turnpikegate , which was locked , as to force it open , breaking the lock and bolt which secured it . Some distance from the gate , the horse shied at two men who were in the road , and fell , turning over the vehicle . Mrs . Whatmore was thrown
out with great force , and lay for some time insensible ; the driver was stunned , but not seriously hurt , and the little boy was thrown into the hedge unhurt . Mrs .

Highway . Robbery , akd Attempt at Murder . —Mr . Balls , a cattle dealer , from Birmingham , having purchased a quantity of cattle in the neighbourhood of Cheltenham , sent William Williams , to collect and drive the beasts to Birmingham , and upon bis arrival at Moreton he accidentally met a strange man in the street , who inquired of him where he could obtain a night ' s lodging . Williams , in reply , informed him that he did not know , being himself a stranger in the place , and that he intended proceeding as far as Stow that night . The stranger immediately replied that he was going to Witney , and would accompany him to Stow , They then went to Mr . C . Phipps ' s house , and had two or three pints of beer , for which Williams paid , and about half-past nine o ' clock , it then being beautifully moonlight , they started together towards Stow . According
to the wounded man ' s version , when they had reached tho before mentioned spot , he stopped for the purpose of lighting his pipe , and tho villain that he had been treating asked him to allow him to hold his stick . Immediately he had received it , he dealt Williams a dreadful blow on ' tlie head ( which felled him to the ground ) , exclaiming at the same time , and likewise brandishing a knife , that unless he delivered up his money , he would rip his body open . He stabbed Williams two or three times in the face , and otherwise maltreated him . A cart at tho time was coming towards Moreton from Stow-market , and its approach doubtless disturbed the wretch in this most fiendish act , for he immediately decamped across the fields . Williams had about 25 s . in his possession when he left Moreton , but none of it has been found . He is lying at the station house in a very precarious state .

Distubbance at Folham TJnios-house , — On Sunday morning considerable dissatisfaction began to manifest itself amongst theabled bodied men in this house , so much so that it was thought advisable to send for a body of police to preserve order , and Mr . Superintendent Witherford promptly attended with six constables . About two o ' clock
it was found that some of the men were pulling some bricks down , when the officers interfered , whereupon a general mcke ensued , some of the men pulled off the handle of the pump , with which the stools were broken . Police-constable Furzey , while attempting to use his staff , was pinioned behind , and struck a severe blow on the cheek with the pump handle . Mr . Mainey , the governor , exerted himself manfully , and with the officers dealt some telling blows upon some of the ringleaders , and many of them , after being put down once , preferred lying on the floor to running the risk of a second encounter- ; and after a short time order was restored . On Monday they were brought before the Revs . A . W . M . Hopper and George France , when three of the worst were sent to the Castle for two months , and two others for six weeks , all with hard labour ; and seven others were discharged after a severe reprimand .

Scotlattfj * Daring Housebreaking . —One of the most daring acts of housebreaking that has for some time come under our notice , was perpetrated between Sunday night and Monday morning , at the mansion of W . M'Ewen , Esq ; , near Cambuslang . The thieves appear to have conducted their operations in a very skilful manner . With a brace and bit they cutout a hole in the panel of the front door , sufficiently large to admit of their withdrawing the bolt from the inside . This done , they had to pass a vestibule door , which was also locked from tho inside , but by removing a pane of glass from the upper portion of the sash , they appear to have opened It without difficulty . These obstacles surmounted , the depredators had the whole house at their command , but appear to have concentrated their attention to the silver plate , a large portion of which they contrived to discover and appropriate to themselves . We believe the family were at home at the time this nocturnal visit was paid to the house . —North British Mail .

The suvgeons of the Santa Theresa Hospital , in Vienna , have made tbe experiment of substituting such a wire for the usual surgical instruments in some of their operations , and it is said with perfect success . They have laid a memoir on the subject before tho Imperial Academy of Science in that capital . — Lancet l Supposed Loss op Life at Sea . —a few weeks ago » small sloop , the John and Mary , sailed from the port of Swansea , laden with a cargo of culm , for Bideford on tlie opposite side of tho Bristol Channel , and there is every reason to fear that during the course of the night sho foundered , as she must have encountered a heavv rrale which
sprang up soon after she left tho harbour . She has never been heard of since , and there is onl y too much ground to apprehend | the loss of eight lives , as fire passengers had embarked in her .
