THE CORK MODBL OF LINCOLN CATHEDRAL IN THB INTERNATIONAL ExuiBiTioN.-r-The maker of this re- markable monument of patient industry, an agricultural labourer, named Anderton, is said to have collected no less than £ 800 from the visitors. He has expended his money in the building of four cottages, which are now nearly completed, and in front of them is a slab with the following inscription Perseverance, cork, and glue, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-two.' At the time of the Exhibition Anderton was a totally uneducated man; but since then he has made great progress, being his own instructor. How THEY DEAL WITH DRUNKARDS IN NEW ZEA- LAND.-In the Lyttelton Times, published in the province of Canterbury, in the above colony, the following adver- tisement appearsNotice to the public.—Whereas it has this day been proved to the satisfaction of us, the undersigned, being three of her Majesty's justices of the peace, that one Mary Ann Robertson, of Christchurcb, who is described at the foot of this notice, has become a habitual drunkard, and is injuring her health by excessive drinking, we beraby, under the provisions of the 33d clause of the Public House Ordinance, 1862,' give notice that we prohibit all persons from supplying the said Mary Ann Robertson with any spirituous or fermented liquor whatever for the space of two yearj from the date thereof.' This wrfrning is enforced by the threat of a fine of £20, or three months' imprison- ment. SUDDEN DEATH IN A RAILWAY BOARDING Housii- -An inquiry was held on Wednesday by Dr Lankeater. at the Fitzroy Arms, Cardigton-street, Hampsteadroad, relative to the death of Mr George Hopkins, aged 29, a retired Custom House officer, who died suddenlv on Sunday last in a railway boarding house, No. 115, Drummond-street, Euston-square. About two o'clock on Sunday last one of the gentlemen boarders went to i deceased's room and requested him to come to dinner, [ but he declined, alleging as a reason that he had a cold at his chest. Shortly afterwards Mr West, the pro- prietor of the house, went to deceased's room and found him lying dead on the safAL bedstead. Medical aid was immediately called in, but without avail. Dr Davis of Euston-square, made the post mortem, examination, and found effusion of blood on the brain, disease of the left lung, and fatty degeneration of the heart. The deceased had without doubt been a very hard drinker. The Coroner said there was no doubt but that when the deceased felt what he attributed to a cold on the chest it was an arrest of the action of the diseased heart, and the vessels of the briin having become weakened by excessive drinking, one of them gave way, producing the effusion which caused his death. The jury found a verdict of Apoplexy, accelerated by habits of intoxic*on.' MANSLAUGHTER BY A MEDICAL HERBALIST.—On Friday W. C. Maynard, Esq., held an inquest at New- castle, on the body of Jane Sumby, aged forty-nine, w ho died from the effects of a dose of meadow saffron, prescribed for her by Joseph Markus, a German Jew medical barbalist, residing in Church-street. Mr Rob- son attended, on behalf of the Town Clerk, for the pro- secution; and Mr Graham watched the case on behalf of Markus, who was present in the custody of a policeman. The evidenoe proved that the prisoner, when applied to for some medicine, sent a mixture of meadow saffron, of I such strength as to cause the deceased great pain, and i then her death. The coroner, in summing up, said they would agree with him there could be little doubt that the woman's death bad resulted from the mixture pre- scribed by Mr Narkus. There seemed to be some little question as to whether Markus said a teaspoonful or table-spoonful; but that did not touch the question, for the law said that a man was not to practise m such mat- ters until by education, training, and a long course of study, he had qualified himself to deal with these things, which were very dangerous. If they thought Markus I gave the medicine, however well intentioned, be was guilty of manslaughter. As to Markus not receiving any pay for the medicine, that was of no moment, and would not form an element in their consideration. The jury, after an hour's consultation, returned a verdict that deceased had Died from an overdose of meadow saffron.' I The coroner said he took that as a verdict of man- slaughter, and thereupon committed Markus for trial on the charge. The prisoner was than committed for trial as tbe coroner's warrant. PROFESSIONAL AMENITIES.—In a cast at the Exete* District Court of Bankruptcy, on Wednesday, the folio** ing little passage of arms took place between two gentle men by act of parliament':—Mr Fhud said Mr Michel" more had made an offer to him which he had not carriod out.—Mr Michelmore said that was a direct falsehood.* "Mr Floud What! not at the Half Moon ?-Mr Michw* more-: It is a falsehood. Mr Floud Then you must » drunk to say so. -Mr Michelmore I never made on- offer.-Mr Floud You did and if you were to repeat such language out of doors I would knock you down. Mr Michelmore Ycu have no such letter of mine, as to carrying out your threat you would think better of it.—The Registrar observed that he considered observations were disrespectful to himself, and he though' the gentlemen who had used them were sorry for having done so at least they ought to be.—Mr Michelmore re. pudiated the assertion, as it reflected upon himself.—T"? Registrar would rather that the matter dropped, that bygones should be considered bygones. BIBLE AND PRAYER BOOK TO BE PRESENTBD 1'0' HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE OP WALES.—AT Messrs. Bugster's publishing establishing establishment 15, Paternoster-row, is now on view a present to Royal Highness the Prince of Wales from the gentletolla of the United Kingdom. It consists of a bible Prayer Book on an oak desk, which is handsomely carved in the mediaeval style. The bindings are very rich costly. The principal novelty is the inlaying on the outer covers with square pieces of leather differently coloured—namely, brown, red, green, and Pu*Pl* heightened with bands and borders of burnished g0' and varied with armorial bearings, emblema tical deviCS4 and the inter-twined initials of his Royal Higbneoo which occupy the centre, of the upper covers. On the insides the ornament is less elaborate but equally done. The fly-leaves bearing the inscriptions of presen- tation upon them are remarkable for simplicity in the design and refined taste in the execution. The edge8 the books when closed display the same amount of and attention to completeness of effcct. The whole the ornaments and illuminations have been designed if Mr James West, and are highly creditable to hi* imaginative talent. The cost of the present with the reading desk will be £ 800, which includes an accompstll- iago volume substantially bound in red morocco wbic" contains the original autographs of about 6000 6Ub-- scribers at Is each. The manner in which this costty gift has been got up by the eminent firm on who" premises it is to be seen well deserves all the approbatiolS that may be bestowed upon it by the numerous COO" tributors to the fund, as well as that of the Royal recipient, to whom it will be duly presented at tbt appointed time.
