T H B B & I D C Z . — A Correspondent s a y s — " I t has long been a marvel that the inhabitants of Barnard Castle should hare been so neglectful of their inter­ests, as to allow their Yorkshire customers to t ra ­verse the most objectionable part of the town before they can reach the market. The proposed footpath would be of great ut i l i ty to the numerous villagers on this side of the water, who walk to Barnard Castle on a market day, as, on arriving at the Bridge, a few steps would take them into toe heart of the town. There ia no doubt the inhabitants of this locality would assist w i th their subscriptions, i f necessary, i n accomplishing so desirable aa object."

D I E I X X G T O W A B a a ^ i B D CasTLX R a l l w a T . — Lately , to celebrate the completion of this l ine , one hundred workpeople, through the liberalitv of the Chairman and Directors, were entertained' to Dinner at the house of M r . J . Ten nick, innkeeper Gainford.

S I V G T L I X CBiDrLrrY . — A few days ago, a wo­man, who represented herself as a u fortune-teller," called at the house of a Barnard Castle tradesman, while the inmates, w i th the exception of a servant-g i r l , were absent. She informed the g i r l that she could foretell any person's destiny, by means of " ruling the planets," and the girl 's curiosity being awakened, she waa mdnced to have the " planets r u l e d " i n her behalf. The woman asked her for a half-sovereign and a five-shilling piece, and the money being produced, was first placed within a pack of cards, and then wrapped i n an article of night-dress. The whole was deposited in the girl 's box, which the woman locked, and then took pos­session of the key, which she promised to return in a few days, on the completion of her magical operations, when, she said, the planet would be found i n place of the money! O n the fortune­teller's departure, the g i r l determined to visit her box, and watch for the advent of the planet. W i t h some difficulty, she burrowed a key, w i th which she opened the box, where "^*hrng of any conse­quence met her view. Her inquiaitiveness, how­ever, prompted bar to unclose the wrapper, when, in place of her money, she found—not the planet— but an o ld brass button, which the woman had adroitly substituted. Her eyes ware now opened, and she gave immediate information to the police, and the result, aa detailed i n our police news, waa the committal of the impostor and a male confed­erate.

CaaCH U r a a T . — A Hoaax a a s EATTXO H o r x x . — O n Friday afternoon, while the horses were being unharnessed from the D u r h a m coach, opposite the door of the Grey Horse Iran, Sunderland, one of the animals took fright at the antics of a boy who waa passing, and, wheeling rapidly round, broke his traces, at the same time throwing the coach smack upon its aide o a the •waxes. Fortunately, no one was i t aril at the time, and those standing about succeeded i n keeping dear of the smash, although a little g i r l waa within an inch or two of the wheels. The horse that remained proved himself a aeriaihle sort of brute, for he slipped dexterously from his harness, jumped right round, and the next moment bolted into Stonea'a eating-house, where he behav­ed i n the most exemplary meaner, and was eventu­ally led out at the back door—Mrs Stones declar­ing that she would " for rasher aaa a nice horse come i n as s drunk man .

A boat carrying two officers, put off from the ship of a

at Cronstadt, and boarded the aserci Tbe captain (Weatherkry) showed his tort the respect due to tftajr rank, invited them to his cabin, and, before they left ham, entertained them w i t h the good Engbah fere with which ail the vessels of the West Hartlepool line are aa ex­cellently supplied. Nor were the Russian officers to be Outdone i n courtesy by the British tar, at the sequel showed. Captain Weatherley and ha) offi­cers were honoured by being invited to return the visit of their newly-acquired naval friends, and did as. Several of the Rneaian ouVeers spoke Eaarjrsh fluently; mutual eongTitiilstinTM en the advent of peace, and mutual good wiehea en the prospects of the hopeful future were exchanged; and the entente cordial* was moat cardial!/ asad joyoualy r f awlli The parting incident i n this plaisinxjnUuiawuai, i a the Balt ic , however, remains to be t e la . I a the course of conversation, case of the p ~ ~ — ofacers, who had impacted the " Ward Jackson," expressed his surprise at the aaaaber of guns and large quan­t i ty of powder on board, aad asked for an explan­ation of the eircnwistance Captain Weatharley, having no plot to conceal, gave the only answer of which the question a d m i t t e d ,— " The powder! O h , to salute our friends." " T h e n , ' " i iapaailui l the Russian officer, recollecting that they had not been saluted, " a r e not the Russians f r i ends? " " A y e , friends, indeed," replied the Captain, but (serious­ly) you know it would be quite an insult for a mer­chantman to fire a salute before an Admiral 's sh ip . " A n d so it would. The Ruaanon officer knew that i n naval etiquette such a perpetration ia iialawi I of. B u t he was not to be overdone i n civi l ity. Instead of a TOnfirmation i n bis view of the case, Captain Weatherley received a gentle hast that a aahate would be considered the reverse of uncomplimen­tary. This was the evening before be had to return; and the next morning, i n patting out of the M a l a , his crew being kike baa ship—an excellent trim, he boldly fired an Admiral 's aalute, and raised the Russian colours to the fore. This was immediately followed by the hoisting of the Br i t i sh ensign by the Russian A d m i r a l , aad, w i th stall louder ord­nance, the ful l and l u m i n a l reciprocation o f the compliment.

DEATH BT POEOTCTG AT DAXITTGTOH.—An was held at Darl ington, o a the 12th inst.,

M r Thornton, deputy-coroner, on the body of a man whose name waa unknown. I t appeared that he had come to the Baal any Tavern about 8 o'clock on the previous evening, and first had half s glass of brandy aad water. H e then had his tea, and ate about a pound of lamb chops. H e seem­ed fatigued and weary when he first cause, but d i d not complain of being unwefl. After he had his tea be asked to hare a bed, and said be would leave next morning by the first train. I n the morning, at half-past six o'clock, he waa found dead in bed. The ostler bad slept in the same room, axel was much'disturbed by has violent snoring, dsaring the night. V A s soon as he was found ta Be. dead, afr Piper , surgeon, was Bent for, and tended. H e found h i m lying upon has hia face being pale and ghastly, and that [allow stained with a l iquid having a alight odour of Ian-danura. The pupils of the eye were much con­tracted, and there wss aioastuii over the whose body—indeed the whole face was bathed i n per­spiration. These symptoms, together wi th the fact of his heavy snoring during the night, shewed that he had died from the effects of laudanum. A bottle was found i n one of his pockets, having a smal l portion of laudanum n mainiag I t waa sup­posed that be had taken laudanum aooa after he had gone to bed, to cause sleep, and the dose had been too large. A silver watch aad 3s 7d in money, to­gether wi th a shoemaker's ban, were found in has pockets. N o information had been obtained aa to his name or residence. H e waa a ante, healthy-looking man, apparently about 28 years of age. The jury found that the deceased had died from the effects of laudanum, but whether taken todes-troy himself, or to cause sleep, there waa ao evi­dence to shew.

That person, i t is said, is either feigning insanity, or has actually become insane; at a l l events, his d the prison is such aa to eoaiey that F o r a period of four moraths or so, he aaa deavouring to simulate the conduct of a lunat i c— expressing hia belief in numerous strange delusions — s u c h as that he was being poisoned, and that there was poison i n his food. H e refused to eat hia food on this account, and sent it back, bat soon discontinued the practice when he found his victuals w e n not again brought hack to a i m .

The paascaau Rayne has conducted himself much to the satisfaction o f the gaol officials ; and though, ap­parently feeling considerably the aerasaawaeaa of the accusation against h i m , by hia quiet demeanour and general conduct, conveys an impi laaaai of hia innocence. O f course the prisoners have separate cells, aad have never been allowed to ate each other since they entered the prison.
