The Sunderland Herald contains a long account of an inquest

on the body of a Captain Berkholtz, master of a Prussian brig the Plmenix, who was murdered on board his vessel. A boy, named Muller, charges the mate, Ehlers, with the crime ; and he acmes Muller. The Jury found a verdict of "Wilful Murder" against the mate.

In different parts of the country, especially in Lancashire and Wor- cestershire, much damage has been done by thunder-storms.
