The death of the infant female child of Mr Ralph 'Shaw, of Paterangi, which occurred on Sunday evening, was reported .yesterday to Mr Uresham, the coroner. The child was acted two years, and had been sulferiug from worms for some Lime past. Mr Grosham, after enquuing into the circumstances attendant oil the death, decided that it would lie unneces sary to hold an inquest, and gave his certificate *o that effect. The Baptist Tabernacle at Cam bridge was crowded on Sunday evening to hear"Pastor Thomas Spurgenu's farewell address ; in the morning there was also a lar<*e attendance, hut not near as many as in the evening. The text of the evening address referred to Pilate asking the Jews which he should release uuto them, Umst or Barrabas. The discourse was a very eloquent one, the speaker likening the world to .Barrabas, and exhorted his listeners to choose Christ, instead of worldly things. Last evening Pa.-tor Spurgeon delivered his lecture on "Tact," which we will notice in our next issue. The police have made every . enquiry into the circumstances attending i the death of Linnet, the Cambridge rail way porter, aud are satisfied tiuM'ii is no ground for suspecting foul play. The fact that his watch and a five-pound note, with loose silver, were found 011 the deceased, disposes of the theory that he had been at tacked and robbed. It is probably the case thatLinnett was making his way heedlessly towards the river in the vicinity of the JCarapiro bridge and tell over a bank, striking some rocks in his fall, which either killed him outright or suspended animation, [ and he then rolled into the water.
