A general meeting of deputations from the Irish boards of guardians will be held in Dublin on the 17th of next month, to petition parliament and me morialise government for the remission of the consoli dated annuities tax. The following soldiers were lost in the fatal ship wreck of the Queen Victoria last week :—Sergeant Wood, 3rd Draeon Guards, with his wife and child ; a gunner and driver of the Royal Artillery; a private of the 54th Foot ; and George Flatman, private of the 52nd Regiment. The following soldiers were saved on the same occasion :—Nbrm. Pearson and William Melton of the 52nd Light Infantry. The commission for the county of Clare opens to morrow. The idea of a military encampment at Ennis during the assizes has be;n abandoned, and the " firing party" of the 31st, who are to stand their 'rid for the Six-mile Bridge affair, will be escorted this morning by two companies of the 14th infantry and a troop of the 3rd Dragoons to Clare Castle, when they will remain during the assisem Captain Eager and Lieutenants Staunton and Hutton have 'meal at Ennis to be present at the proceedings. The inquest on the bodies recovered from the wreck of the Queen Victoria will be resumed to-day at Kingstown. The wreck still holds the same po tidos, lying in 10 fathoms water about 200 yards from the rock at the foot of the Bailey lighthouse, es an even keel in a sandy bottom. Her place is marked by a flag from the foremast head, only 3 feet of which is over high water, and by a wreck buoy. The sea has not yet been calm enough to allow a dire to examine her, but no great di ffi culty is anti cipated in raising and floating the wreck, the work tx which will be commenced immediately. No mete bodies had come ashore up to last evening, no: bad any portions of the cargo floated in at Howth. Mr. 14 ilson, of the Crown-office, was on Satur diy sworn in Clerk of the Crown ad iekrise before the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, the office having become vacant by the death of Mr. Pismo A Waterford paper of yesterday tells us that the "Exodus" still goes on from that. port without inter mption. It is stated that on Friday the quays were literally alive with to Liverpool en route to America ; no fewer t 380 or 400 crowding the d ec k o f th e Mars steamer at ?:::.°llse partme, and bidding a long farewell to their native Mad. On the other hand, we hear from various direes bons of pogrom made at home, showing that all at bast ere not agreed in giving up hope of prosperity in Ireland. Thus, for instance, the Galway Packet of yesterday says : Yesterday we visited the weaving factory Is Whitehall, 'hack use lees got ep under the supenatendeaes of Dir.

H er artisans emigrated and sought osomerseut abroad, and the country gradually sank until the famine came and plunged it into the lowest depths of awry and destitution. However, as the staple trade of Inland rapiJly risiog, and as the demand for it in the earth has even now reached Connaught, we have reason to b 414 that the darkest hour is past, and that the sun light of r.p.ity.will s h ort l y b unt upon the land. The factory is hitehafi is being eqablished by a Belfast house at the 11 111grotio n of Mr. Overend, who collected a number of ewers who preserved their old looms through every vicis situde of fortune and privation of life.

Grand Canal f.r.iins Dublin to Ballinasloe, t o th e Midland G r eat wertern Railway, continues to produce an unusual loicunt of excitement among mercantile men and !Len interested in the traffic between Dublin and ;terg Le Western province. It was the subject of a very dik.usion at the half-pearly meeting of the . t r i _•-sh Southern and Western Railway C om p an y, th e '41r61312 1 Sir E. McDonnell, explaining at great 413 4th GO the part of the directors, the part which ' 4 l had taco in the transaction—a course which I r l 3 the m ore necessary as they were charged with some remissness or ill-inanagement in suffering a rival company to get the canal into their hands.aThe chairman', explanations seemed so far to be satisfactory; and Mr. Ennis, the chairman of the Midland Company, was also present, and gave every assurance that the public had no reason to ap- prehend that the monopoly which his company were thus acquiring would be abused. Notwithstanding all the assurances, however, to this effect, a good deal of dissatisfaction seems to be felt on the subject, though apparently without any sufficient ground, and it is probable that a strenuous opposition will be made in the Rouse of Commons to the proposed transfer. In the locumbered Estates Court on Saturday, a property in the county of Waterford, held by a lease for 500 years to come, at a head rent of 221. 55., and subject to a tithe rent-charge of nearly 81., the nett rental being 1881. 145., was sold for 2,5731., equal to 16 years' purchase. A leasehold in the county of Down, the gross yearly rent of which is only 1271., while the heed rent and tithe rent-charge amount to over 1831. per annum, was sold for 501., the value being only nominal, or rather, in its present state, being a negative quantity. The property of Mr. J. P. Somers, late M.P. for Sligo, held by lease for ever at a nominal head rent, and producing a profit rent of 2101. 10s., was knocked down for 3,2751., or at about 151 years' purchase on the present nett rental. This estate was purchased by a Mr. Cogan, a Sligo merchant, and the Waterford property men tioned shove was bought by Mr. J. Donnel, a mer chant of Liverpool. The 26r m:stile Advertiser says : We have ►earned that the Irish estates of Earl Fitawil limn are to be sold in the Ineumbered Estates Court, and that the necessary petition for that purpose has already been filed, the noble earl himself being the petitioner. These estates are situated in the counties of Wicklow and Carlow, sad yield an annual rental of about 30,0001. The Lord Lieutenant has directed John Andrew Kirwan, Esq., R.M., lately restored to his magiste rial functions, to take charge of the district of Castlecomer, count• of Kilkenny, under the provi sions of the act 6 Wm. IV., C. 13, daring the absence of Major John Roberta, KM., from that district, on I sick leave. Lord William Fitzgerald, uncle of the Duke of Leinster, in a short letter to the Dublin Telegraph, treats the question of preserving thelrishViceroyaty as one meriting nothing better than contempt. He says :—" The people of Ireland in general care not a fig for it, as was well and clearly proved (also in Dublin) in 1846. Lord John Russell moved the abo lition in that year. In a House of Commons of near 300 members only 17 were is favour of this mark of catholic degradation; and so it is, let the Telegraph say what it will" AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Wednesday last, while Mr. Thomas Campbell was attending the funeral of his son in the Homan catholic burial ground of this city, be ' fell down dead at the moment the coffin was lowered into the grave. Mr. Campbell was highly respected by his fel low-citizens, and will be lamented by • large circle of friends.—lrry Standard. OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF THE MILITARY AT r 41- ' witon.—Serious work had nigh taken place on Monday night between the military sad police, arising out of the following circumstance :—On Sunday evening a moldier of the 68th, while in a state of intoxication, attacked in a violent manner one of these improper characters that in-1 fest our streets. and would in all probability have indicted serious injury on her were it not for the polio., who took the disorderly soldier into custody, and placed him in laureate vile till a file of the guard arrived, and conveyed him to the barrack. This, it would mem o aroused the evil Ironstone of the more disonierly portion of the 89th, and they remind to hare setisfamien for such an insult on their comrade. In order to carry out their determination with greater spirit, they agreed to take a "drop" before they, eommenard the grand attack on the peelers." Having satisfied their sppetite so far on Monday night, they I formed themselves into a body, consisting of about 40 men, ' and proceeded in a breast, with side belts in hands, shout- 1 ing in a terrific manner, to the new pollee barrack in Bar rack street, when there are only twelve men stationed, moot of whom were out at the time, and endeavoured to' erect an entrance into it ; but before they could do so the deor was barred against them. They then attempted to break into the Wreak, but, being foiled is this also, they proceeded up the street, extending themselves throes from one side to the other, and, having arrived at the coach. office in Castle-street, they met five policemen on the flags, whom they surrounded In menacing attitudes and threatened them in a savage manner. The police, who, up to this, were unconscious of what was th-ir intent, drew their bayonets, which deterred their assailants from carrying their threats iato execution. Some of the more respectable of the townspeople here interfered and kept the soldiers at bay till • strong piequet, under the com mand of Msjor Smith sad Lieutenant Nichol!, arrived and arrested several of the delinquents. Police and military piequem then continued to parade the town ti 1 a late hour. We were sorry to hear that ease partite, who put on the garb of respectability, were actually uniting the mob to assist the soldiery and attack the polies. We understand that yesterday morning, en parade, the major commented in very meow terms on the proce edings of the preceding night ; and, to mark his indignation at such outrageous conduct, ordered that they should all be confined in bar racks. We regret:the foregoing occurrence should have taken plate, as it will no doubt tend to the speedy removal of the 68th from Nenagh. The departure of the *Melee of the depot will be regretted by the gentry of the tom and neighbourhood, to whom amusement they an eenleibu= keeping a first rate packet harriers. The now oMeers helped is no mall degree to enliven the town sad man the inhabitants, by having amateur theatrical. ens a week, and which would he sestinued up to the preenny had not the late stars swept away their tempered, hat neat little theatre. 'Viewing the OW altogether, it is melt to be regretted that even a few disorderly scoundrels could for • moment either met a slur or tarnish the high reps -1 tattoo of so disti sighed& seeps as the 68th Light Infantry. —Newish Osmrdi n.

The arrange ments for capture were excellently arranged by Inspectors Chadwick, Lewis, and William Bridges, of the land and Thames police, ably assisted by Sergeant Hoyle of the F division and eight oth.r constables. All four were taken within a halt.au-hossr of each other, and locked up in Bow-street cells till this aserning, when they were removed to the Wrstminister Senior House for the purpose of find ing true bills. The prisoners, it is expend, will procure bail, and tra verse till next session for trial. THE DETECTIVE SYSTEM IN THE POST-OFFICL— Letters containing win are sent by the Post-office officials to various post-offices to test the honesty of employis when suspicion attaches to such offices. These letters are called trap and sometimes detective letters. No one is allowed to send them without the direct unction of the Postmaster. Ocueral. A short time since a detective letter was sent to an office in the country, and it not being forthcoming at the proper time, the whole st►f were rigidly but privately searched without any clue being discovered as to what had become of the letter. It turned out, however, that the trap letter had arrived at the suspected office, but had been ma/b -unt with other letters to another office previous to the search fur it being made. This unfortunate contretemps will, it is expected, lead to some precautionary measures being adopted to prevent such a mishap again. SHARE LISTS. MONDAY Evittnio. The railway market to-day was heavy in tone, especially for Caledonian stock. Manchester and Sheffield, Oxford and Worcester, and York and North Midland, were also worse, and Edinburgh and Perth fell back 1/. from the advance of last week. Lanca shire and Yorkshire stock is heavy, owing to the 3 per cent, dividend exciting disappointment, but the decline is checked by the large " bear" account open in this stock. Grand Junction and Southern of France were rather better, other French sham presenting little change. Namur and Liege shares are Sat, and Upper India continue to rise. THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocl. The railway market opened flatly this morning, but has since slightly rallied for some descriptions. Great Western aid London and North-11 estern stocks are better than yesterday, but Caledonian, Oxford and Worcester, and South-Eastern have receded. French shares are rather firmer.

The market for English mining stocks has again been very active to-day, and in many cases advanced prices had been realised. There is still great diffi culty in obtaining any supply of good dividend shares. The prices ruling to-day are as follows: Wheal Basset, 583; Devon Great Consols, 455, 460; North Pool, 305, 310 ; Halamanning and Croft Gothal, 100, 105; Condurrow, 120; South Tolgus, 243 ; South Caradon, 203 ; Dolcoath, 70 ; West Pro vidence, 541, 551; Wheal Arthur, 33, 34; Wheal Mary Anne, 40; Trelawney, 60 ; Tretnayne, 231,26; Grumbler and St. Aubyn, 30; Wheal Uny, 161, 17 ; Trehane, 22, 23; Bell and Lanarth, 12, 131; Alfred Consols, 18 ; Balnoon, 111; lierodsfoot, 12; East Frongoch, 7; Merllyn, 41; Vale of Towy, 14; Clive, 51; Lelant Console, 16; Bryntail, 61, 7 ; East Tamar, 14, 1; Cook's Kitchen, 21, 3 ; Kircudbright, 4}, ; North Damsel, 365.; Tamar Consols, 6/, 7 ; Tavey Consols, 54, 8; Kenneggy, 41, 1; North Tee laweey, 51, 6; Round Hill, 21, 1; Trebanrah, 81, 9; West Treasury, 10, 11 ; St. Dar United, 21 prem.; Wheal Norris, 11; Cwm Darren, 17s. 6d., 18s. ; Wheal Peru, 11, 1; Churehatoira, 1; Beat Wheal Var. 1 4. 4. The sold mining shares were firm, with a mode rate business. The tendency of this market is evi dently upward, although it is known that several of the companies are still turning out shares upon the market. These are rapidly absorbed by the public. After the regular hours there was a sudden rise in Nouveau Moudes, which closed 11 to 11 prem. The shares of the Waller Company continue " screwed up" by the parties engaged in the " rig," to 21 to 3 prem. The movement in these continues to excite great animadversion. The shares of the Mexican and South American Company are still rising. The Gladbach Zinc shares have been largely dealt in at 21 prem. The non-official quotations are :—Australasian Coal, Ito 1 prem.; Australian Mutual, par to prem. ; Australian Consols, to 1 pram.; New South Wales Gold Mines, to 1 prem.; Adelaide Land and Gold, 1 dia. to par; Lewis Hill Range, to die.; Melbourne Gold, Ito per share; Golden Mountain, 1 to 1 prem.; Garnett and Moseley, par to prem.; L'Aigle d'Or, par to 1 prem.; Monarch, par to 1 prem.; La Peruvienne, par to 1 prem.; Gladboch Zinc, 21 to 3 prem.; Ardennes of Belgium, par to 1 prem. ; Portland Iron, 4 to 1 prem.; Port Royal and St. Andrew Copper, 2to 1 prem.; Jamaica per, to 1 prem.; Mizen Head, par to prem.; Kentuars, 4, to 1p prem.; South Cork Copper, par to prem.; Connemara, Ito / prem.; Glenaulin, par to prem.; ()wherry West, par to 1 prem.; Sulphate of Barytes, 1 die. toper. THIS DAY—Two o'CLooz. The gold miningshare market is steady, and on the whole may be said to present a rather improving appearance, especially for Nouveau Monde and Port Philip. Business, however, is quiet. Australian Agricultural shares are rather better, marking 255 and 257. Be.

On the sth of January, 1852, the amount was 17,557,5411. FIRE AT WALWORTlL—Yeaterdny, shortly before four o'clock in the morning, the lower part of the Newing ton Arms public-house, King-street, Lock's-fields, Surrey, was discovered to be in flames. The police soon aroused those residing in the house, anal only a very short time elapsed ere Mr. Henderson and Mr. Connorton, with the brigade and West of England, arrived ; but by this period the contents of every room in the house were one burning mus. The firemen used their utmost exertions ; but in an hour all the property of the Newington Arms was destroyed. Nothing was heard as to the cause of the conflagration. MONEY MARKET. MONDAY Ermine. The tone of the English stock market to-day was steadier, but business is utterly inactive. The rail-1 way market, although little changed in prices, was heavy in character, and closed with a very dull ap g= ce. underwent no fluctuation whatever, 99; toy being the prevalent quotation ; but in the after noon the price was a shade firmer, at 994 to 11-16, for the 10th March. The transactions both for money and time were unimportant. The official report embraces:—Three per Cent. Consols, for' money, 994, 3; ditto for account, 99,t, 4, 4. IThree per Cents. Reduced, 1001, I. Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents., 103', 4. Long Annuities, 1860, 64, Annuities of 30 years, 1860, 6 3-16. India Stock, 266. Bank Stock, 228. The market for Exchequer Bills was rather better, although prices can scarcely be said to exhibit a rally. There were transactions in the June bills at 17a., 155., and 10s. prem., and the closing price was , about ss. to 20s. prem., the dealers refusing to do Dunne.. except at a very wide margin. The adver tised issue was dealt in at 13s. and 6s. prem., and left off quoted ss. to lbs. prem. In the foreign 'doe/ market there was a slight im ' provement in Mexican Bonds, which touched 24, the intelligence that the revolutionary party which has now the upper hand in Vera Cruz respects the por tion of the custom house revenue assigned to the foreign bondholders being received with much satis faction. There was also a further advance in the price of the certificates issued by the Spanish bond holders' committee for the half' of the overdue cou pons unrecognised at the last conversion. The price of these vouchers closed 51 to di percent. There ap- Ipears to be an idea that the present Spanish cabinet I will yet do something in the direction of a measure of tardy justice to the holders. Other foreign securities are firm, but quiet. Sales are recorded as follows:— Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 981 (exchange, 25 f.); Brazilian Five per Cents., 1829 and 1839, small bonds, 1021; ditto New, 1843, 971.

Intelligence has been received at Lloyd's from the Admiralty offices, that her Majesty s steamers Magi eienne and Vulture have been ordered to proceed to the Chops of the Channel, for the relief of the large fleet of vessels known to be delayed there by the contrary winds. On the 22nd inst. is to be opened at Brussels a subscription list for the loan contracted on account of that city. The amount to be raised is 3,000,000 f. (120,0001.) The loan is to be redeemed in 66 years by means of annual ['riming*, when certain numbers will receive prizes varying from 25,000 f. to 2,000 f., according to the lottery system adopted in the case of many of these continental loans. The rate of interest offered is 3 per cent, per annum. There is considerable dissatisfaction existing at the large additions that are being made to the capi tal account of the Midland Railway Company, as shown in the present accounts, and those for previous periods. The charge of 3.4591. per mile for rolling stock, which shows an almost continuous increase since 1844, when the charge per mile was 2,6131., contrasts very unfavourably with the system pursued by the London and North-Western Company. In the accounts of the latter, the return for working stock is 2,3281. per mile, showing a decrease of charge since 1840, when the oust returned was 2,5791. This account, in contra-distinction to that of the Midland Company, has been regularly relieved at the expense of revenue. To show these results more clearly we extract from the accounts just issued by each company the tables exhibiting the mileage charges. The Midland statement is as follows : MILIAOIS CKAROI FOR WORKING STOCK. Total saws for roll- Total charge Total Avenge lag steckonackinery, on capital miles per tools, &c. atooant. worked. nrie.

It is knows that both these banks will pay extraordinarily large dividends for the current half-year, with the cer tainty of an excellent business in future, so that in vestors offer eagerly. It is evident that the public at large have imbibed a strong relish for Australian securities, and are becoming awake to the magnifi cent prospect that is now being opened up for those valuable colonies. Australia must, for many years, present an inexhaustible field for enterprise, and thus it is not surprising that so many thousands of shares in the land, bank, and mining companies con nected with this southern continent are being rapidly absorbed by the public. Indeed, there is still great probability of a spesies of mania setting in in this direction. Amongst the miscellaneous share business of the day there were transactions in the following:— Colonial Bank, 17, 1 ; London and Westminster Bank, 36; Oriental Bank Corporation, 50, 491; victoria Docks, old shares (21. paid), 41; Australian Royal Mail Steam (61. paid), 51; Crystal Palace (51. paid), 31, 5; Royal Mail Steam, 821; Ebro Canal shares are quoted 1/ to 11 prem. ; Chiriqui Road, par to 1 prem. ; Beziera and Graissessac Railway, to 1 prem. ; Royal Swedish Railway, to die.; French South Eastern Railway, par to 1 prem.; Chartered Bank of Asia, 2to 1 dis.; Great Western and City Junction Railway, dia. to 1 prem. We understand that at the meeting of the Scottish Australian Investment Company, to be held at Aberdeen, on the 2nd of March next, the directors propose to ask the shareholders to agree to alter the contract of copartnery so as to give them power to form a London board of management, and t i transfer the office of the company here. This arrangement seems natural in view of the large number of shares that have passed during the last few months from the hands of Scottish into those of English holders. The quotations of stocks at Amsterdam on Satar- day are thus reported by telegraphic exiirt.ss: Dutch Four [per Cents., 96 7-16; ditto Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 651.

MIS DAY.—Two CLon. The English stock market remains steady, sup. port being afforded by the renewed purchases of the government broker in Consols, but busine,,s continues very limited.

NORTH Thwart RAILWAY AND DOCK.—The half yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Lcndon Tavern, Bishopsgatewtreet, John Sharland, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Harris, the 'secretary, read the report, from which we extract the following passages :--." The directors have the pleasure to state that the works continue to progress to their ;satisfaction. With reference to the finances of the company, your directors beg to state that they ahstainei from making any call during the whole of the six months ending the 31st 1) ~ember last; having suc ceeded in providing sufficient funds on the company's de bentures, and from arrears of calls, to meet the current demands on the company, which enabled your directors to refrain from pre'sing on the shareholders. Mr. Breasey has contracted conditionally to construct the /3idefurd ex tension at • sum within tho eneineer's estimate, and to work it in connexion with the North Devon Railway for seven years, at a net rental of 2.2501., equal to ei, per cent. on the outlay of 50,0001. At the termination of Mr. Bras sey's lease (in 1861), your directors have agreed (subject I. your approbation) that the North Devon Company shall lease the line to Bideford, at the same rental, in perpetuity, or to purchase it at a premium of 10/. per cent. on the cart of coustruction. Your sanction to this arrangement will be required. Your directors consider that the Bideford Rail way will be an important feeder to their own line, and is a legitimate development of it, and only regret that the financial position of the North Devon Company did not en courage the proprietors themselves to raise the necessary capital, and undertake the work. The total receipts were 284,8851. las. ffil., and the total payments to December lot, 24905641. 18s. 2d., leaving a balance in hand of 35,2311." The chairman alluded to the forward state of the works, and the satisfactory financial position of the company. The line would, he hoped, be opened by February next. In respect to the line to Bideford, the money was all obtained from Mr. !trusty and the landowners ; there was no doubt that, when made, it would be a great feeder to the North Devon Railway, and, under that impression, the directors would ask the sanction of the proprietors to their purchas ing or leasing the Bideford line at the proper time. The directors, some time ago, pointed out the advantage of this branch ; but, when asked for their aseistunce, only three of the proprietors, out of 700, offered to subscribe towards making it. Mr. Tite seconded the motion, and the report was adopted unanimously. The directors retiring were John Sharland, Esq., the Hon. Francis Scott, M.P., Ed ward Woolmer and John Goodman Maxwell, Esqs., who were re-elected. Mr. Henry Brown was re-elected auditor, A resolution then passed far authorising the directors to purchase the Bideford line, at • premium of 10 per cent. upon the cost of construction, or to lease it at the sum of' 2,2501., after the termination of Mr. Blaney's lease. After • vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting adjourned. BURNING OF WHITBY THEATRE.—The inhabitants of Whitby were aroused from their slumbers on Thursday night last by the outbreak of a destructive fire on the pre mises known as the theatre, situate in Baxter's-gate, which, with a tavern connected with it, soon fell a prey to the ravages of the flames. No amusements have, it seems, been enacted in the theatre for several weeks ; the fire there is no doubt originated in the bar of the tavern. The property burned down is insured in the County Fire Office. RAILWAY BILLS ON STANDING ORDERS.—Yes terday, on the standing orders before the Examiners, the fol lowing bills were declared to have compiled: Bideford Extension Railway; South Wales Railway (Pembroke shire) ; Newport, Abergavenny, and Hereford Railway (sale or lease to London and North Western Railway) ; the Darenth Valley Railway; West End of London and Crystal i'alsce Railway ; St. Ives and West Cornwall Junction Railway; Whitebaven and Furness Junction Railway ; London aid South Western and London and South Coast Railway Amalgamation ; Newport, Aberga -1 venny, and Hereford Railway (extension to Brecon). THE WEATHER AND THE PARKS.—During the night of Sunday the thermometer at the Royal H u ma ne Society's receiving-house did not fall below 25, being se 'veral degrees higher than it had b e en on a n y n i g h t s i n e the frost set in. The cold, notwithstanding, was sufficient to freeze the water that had accumulated the preceding day on the surface of the ice, so that yesterday a great many persona ventured upon the Serpentine. A number of im mersions occurred in St. James's-park. The round pond, i Kensington-gardens, end the long water were visited by a 1 F reat number of persons who disported themselves on the tee, and several accidents occurred, but only of a trifling character. The ice upon the °reams ntal waters in the : Regent's-park was literally covered with sliders, but to wards the middle of the day the sun shone forth most bril liantly, the mercury in the thermometer rapidly ascen d e d, anti the whole surface of the ice became covered with water. The skaters, finding the frozen waters breaking up, com menced by degrees to clear off, but several of them fell , throug h into the water. 1r THE L ATE FATAL ACCIDENT IN ST. JAMES'S -1 PAux.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Feather*, Dean-street, Westminster, on the body of James Cooper, aged 22, a smith, who lost his life by breaking . through the ice in SL James's.park. on Friday lest. James ' Hill, of 24, Little Chapel-street, Westminster, alma that he was in the park on Friday morning. when he saw the deceased go on to the ice. A soldier went on, when several others foil wed. The deceased fell in first, an.l two others after hint. The icemen came, and in attempting to get the g th e re re e d o p u e t rw oh n e s y w a e l r ect er t ew ell u in ed . , b E i v t e t n h t e ue o l t l h y e t r wo of h could t no e t en b d e a r n e: . covered until life was eztinct. This aline's, Wt. hster, the park-keeper, R. Maskell, and Henry Martin, iceman to the 'loyal Humane Society, confirmed what has previously ap- I peered in our journal, that the deceased and the others were frequently warned of the danger they exposed them selves to, and were even ordered off, but without effect. The jury being satisfied that everything had been done to save the deceased, they returned • verdict of "Accidental death." FIRE AT HANLEY CASTLE.—On Thursday night a fire broke out in a farmyard in the occupation of Mr. W. Shipway, jun., at Hanky-common, bylonging to Sir Ed mund H. Lechmere, Bart. The flames coon extended to a wheat rick, which, together with the staddles and the straw in the yard, was entirely consumed. The barn was slightly injured, and portions of a shed and some mangers were burnt. It is thought that the damage to the building: can be repaired for 301. or 40/. Mr. Shipway will be it e•.n• siderable loser, having hothing left for hi, young cattle to eat, and no manure for bis crops.—Glorteester Chronicle.
