vet , .0 FATAL OCCURRENCE AND EXCITING SCENE AT THE AGRICULTURAL-HALL. Just at the close of the grand pageant of the I " Meeting of the Monarchs" at the Agricultural-ball, last night, en occurrence took place which not only had a fatal issue to one of the performers, but which created such an intense degree of excitement amongst the audience, which numbered at least from 18,000 to 20,000 persons, that it was a marvellous circumstance that serious injury or further loss of life had not been the consequence. The pageant had passed round the vast arena or hippo drome of the ball twice when, in obedience to the en thusiastic shouts of the audience, Messrs. Sanger directed I the magnificent triumphal car containing the represents tion of the Queen of England and her court, together with the English procession, followed by the whole cavalcade of horsemen, to proceed round a third time. This car, which is thirty feet in height, and it is stated, weighs nearly five tons, and lighted with gas, was drawn by nine spirited cream-coloured horses, each outside horse being attended by grooms in the royal livery. The oar had just made the turn of the western extremity of the arena, at a rapid speed, when one of the grooms, named Thos. Gibson, aged 27, either from missing his foot ing, or some other cause, was seen to fell, and so rapid was the pace that before he could be extricated the wheels of the ponderous machine p ared over lat him. It was the stoppage of the cavalcade that first is called attention to the matter, as at the moment the band ri was playing the National Anthem and the pe o p le hurrah- 56. Mg. The moment, however, the disoovery was made, 1: 0 hundreds threw themselves over the galleries into the es , arena, and the confusion wee so great that it was with St. great difficulty the poor fellow was conveyed to the minor It. hall, where Mr. Greenwood, surgeon, of Chapel-place, Si. saw him, and pronounced life extinct. The poor fellow a wes literally crushed. So intensely excited was the crowd et that it required all the efforts of the police, under In- 11 1.. spector Judge, to clear the building. Messrs.

A most painful sensation has been caused in and b. around Edmonton by the awful crime committed on to Christmas night, and numbers of persons last night and xi this morning visited the scene of the tragedy. The house 100 occupied by the coach - smith , William Gudgeon, and his so family, is conspicuous from its staring white walls, and is situated close to the arrival platform of the railway eta- '7; tion. Its somewhat bleak and singular appearance is g t now a subject of remark among those whose morbid 9x, curiosity brings them to the spot. et. The unhappy woman, Ann Gudgeon, had been for some St weeks past under the care of Dr. Morris, of Edmonton ; she was suffering from great nervousness a n d from the r. effects of cold. There seems to be no reason to entertain any doubt that her mind gave way from the effects of her se di. illness and anxiety consequent on family misfortunes. II Some three months ago her sister's husband. a man em- st• " ployed in a pickle warehouse in the City, died, leaving his la„„ family wholly improvided for. Mrs. Gudgeon took this to ' 81. heart and fretted much ; she did her best for their sup port, and WWI in a continual worry at not being able to do at more. She had latter), become considerably reduced in St strength, and it was this circumstance that the S as courageous little girl, Selina Gudgeon, owed her life, for otherwise it would not have been possible for her ; to have successfully strarrgled when laid hold of by her i f mother. It is stated by Selina that when she saw her 9 mother reaching over to her with the razor dripping with I the blood of the two other children she noticed that she looked exceedingly wild, and that her eyes were fixed and staring. She was dressed in her night dress and a petti coat. The wretched woman was only 34 years of age.. The bedroom in which the murders were comm itted and the parlour where the murderess put an end to her own life present a sickening appearance. The beds in the upper room are saturated with blood ; the fireplace and fender in the parlour are similarly stained. The three surviving children, two girls and a boy, are at present in the care of their friends. The bodies of the two murdered children, and that of their mother, have been placed in coffins under the orders of the police. -- --- - SHOCKING DEATH OF A YOUNG WOMAN BY FIBS. INQUEST.—(THIS DAY.) This afternoon, Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, held en inquiry at Guy's Hospital, touching the death by fire of Emily Mary Ward, aged 19. Mr. Thomas Challis, a furniture dealer living at London street, Greenwich, said that the deceased was a domestic servant in his employment. At 11 o'clock on the night of Tuesday fortnight he heard loud screams proceeding from the kitchen. Upon hastening to the spot he saw the deceased rushing towards the door way into the back yard. She was holding her bands up over her head, and she was enveloped in a mass of flame. She was shrieking wildly for assistance. Wit ness seized a piece of canvas and threw it o ver her, and by that means succeeded in extinguishing the blaze. She was carried to the hospital, where she expired on Christman - eve. The deceased stated to her mother that on the night of the occurrence she was standing near the fire-plaoe with her arum leaning on the mantle-shelf, when her dress, which was distended by crinoline, caught fire. Mr. Dense. house surgeon, said that deceased died from the effects of tetanus or lock-jaw, brought on by the in juries she had received. Mr. Challis said that deceased had received orders from Mrs. Challis not to wear crinoline, and she therefore only wore a very small one. The Coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death by fire." POISONED BY MISTLETOE BEERIES. A singular case of poisoning came before Mr. Richards, the deputy coroner, at an inquest held at the Bricklayer's Ans tavern, Fenton-street, Commercial-road, on view of the body of a child named Emma Fuller, aged one year and three months. It appeared from the evidence of Maria Fuller, 1 the wife of a working ma n, livin g at No. 9, Duke street, Commercial - road , that on the morning of the 20th instant she gave deceased into the arms of her daughter Margaret, who was only six years old, and told her to mind the baby, and to be sure not to go away from the street.door. The little girl, however, went off with the child, and did not return till 1 o'clock. The deceased wa d a y . very ill, and continued to get worse during the day. At night Margaret confessed that she had got, no doubt at the green. grocer's shop, a quantity of berries like white currants, and finding that they were too bitter to eat herself, she hail given them to the baby, who had eaten a quantity of them. Dr. Spey was at once sent for, and he stated that the child had been poisoned. He pre scribed emetics , which brought up a tea cup full of mistletoe berries. The deceased lay screaming in agony all the next day, and on Friday last she died. Dr. George Spey said that he found the deceased child suffering from all the symptoms of poisoning ; the quan tity of mistletoe berries which had been given to her was very great, and they were highly poisonous. The post mortem examination showed that the lungs were exces sively congested, and the stomach and inteatines were highly inflamed from the action of the poison, which produced death. The Coroner, in summing up, said that the elder infant was hardly more to blame than the younger for what had happened. The jury re tained a verdict of " Accidentally poisoned ,tletoe berries." by mill ACCIDENT TO A WOOLWICH STEAMER. —Yesterday afternoon between 3 and 4 o'clock a serious accident hap pened in the Pool nearly abreast of the Tower to the Naiad, Woolwich paddlewheel steamer, which might have been attended with very serious consequences. The Naiad was on her way down the river, and being Boxing-they and the weather floe there was a large the n umber of passengers on board. As she was passing Tower, the Metropolitan, a large screw steamer, was sw-.eping round with the tide, when the fan of her screw propeller caught the quarter of the Naiad and cut into her side. It was then discovered that a she was mak m ing . water fast at her stern, and, may be ia gined, there was considerable alarm among the ssengers, who as a matter of course feared the wrst. The captain at once ma de the necessary arrangements for getting the vessel ashore so as to save the passengers, and il4 the tide was rising the steamer was got close to the Tower Quay, and the passengers were all safely landed. As the tide made the steamer filled aft. Preparations were then made to float her, and at low water the damage which she had sustained having been repaired, she floated. on the return of the flood, and was taken down to the company's yard as Woolwich. • t Monday TE S TIMONIAL TO A CLERGYMAN.--Las evening a handsome service of plate was presented to the 1 , Rev.

John Bosh, a young fellow, well known to the police, was charged with stealing a box containing perfumery, of the value of 30L, from one of the Midland Railway vans. Mr. Ricketts, solicitor, of Frederick-street, Gray's-inn road, appeared for the prosecution, and asked that the prisoner might be committed for trial, as robberies of this description were very frequent, and it was necessary that stringent measures should be taken to check the evil. The evidence showed that a man of the name of Haw kins was driving one of the company's vans from the Castle and F.dcon to the Midland Railway Company's premises at St. Pancras. The van was loaded by tie man by collecting panels from different houses the City, and in due course he received a box from Messrs. Benbow and Sons, wholesale perfumers, of Little Britain. That box was put on the tailboard of the van and fastened with a double rope so that it should not fall off. When he got to St. Pancras station be missed the box, sail found that the rope had been cut in two places. As the van was passing along the Farringdon-road, William Thorogood, one of the Great Northern detectives, saw the prisoner and some more men go behind the van, and steal the box, and with assistance took the prisoner and the box me the police-station. Thorogood had been watching the prisoner and his companions for some time and had seen them attempt to steal from other railway vans on their going to King's-cross. Mr. Cooke asked if there was anyone to guard the back of the van ? Mr. Ricketts said that the company were very particular in that respect, and always had guards with their vans. How the lad was off the van on this occasion would be ex plained by one of the company's officers. Inspector Woodrow, of the Midland Railway's detective fate, who was present to watch the case, said that from I inquiries he had made the boy had dropped his cap in Ex mouth-stmt, and jumped oil to pick it up, and before he 5. co uld overtake the van the robbery had been committed. The prisoner in reply to the court, said he should reserve his defence if he was to be committed for trial, but he would rather plead guilty, and have the matter settled at sees Mr. Cooke inquired if the prisoner had ever been in custody for felony previous to this occasion. Mr. Ricketts said that the prisoner hail been several times committed, and Sergeant Wells, 7 L, could show that he had been confined in Wandsworth gaol, and Reeves, an officer from the House of Correction, would prove that the prisoner had been confined in that prison for 18months for committing a burglary. Mr. Cooke said it was a case he could not decide, and committed the prisoner to the Middlesex Sessions for MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BOXING-DAT.

William La iii4ert, cab driver, badge 14,125, was charged with being drunk, furiously driving a horse and damaging cab 91S, the property of Charles Clark. The case having been proved by John Wright, the (hirer of the damaged cab, and Gotland, 746 A, Mr. Knox fined the prisoner 103. or seven days for being drank and furious driving, and adjourned the case as far as the damage was concerned for a week, to give the owner an opportunity of ascertaining the amount of damageßicha. rd Bella my and Henry 'Darliny, two butchers, were charged with being drunk and assaulting Richard Gamble, a young man, and police-constable 3i% A. Gamble said that Bellamy came up to him last night in Newport-court and said, " You —, now I've got you," and knocked him down, and Caing then kicked him on the cheat.

OM O'OLOCIM. The Christmas holidays are now virtually completed amongst men of business, and the City to-day has resumed its ordinary aspect. In the Stock Exchange the attendance of members is decidedly larger than yesterday, and the transactions are more numerous, although still chiefly confined to the settlement of the fort nightly account, which will be concluded to morrow. The funds are unchanged, but show firmness. British railway stocks are in active request, and have experienced a further improve mentwhich are better in many of ito I per cent. The inquiry extends to however, exhibit a fresh fall. The supply of money in the discount market has somewhat diminished, owing chiefly to the revenue and choice bills are still taken at Ito 1 per cent. below the Bank rate. The charge for short loans in the Stock Exchange, on English government money, and 90} to i, securities, is 2} per oent. financial drys, CSl:i.v.,fcoths Anglo-American, t accoun t 'payments to the Bank. The inquiry is not active, (January 10). The foreign stock market is firm, and a rise of ti to } per cent. has occurred in Spanish Passive, ' Italian of 1861, Russian scrip, and Mexican.

A requisition to the committee of the Stock Ex change, in favour of that establishment being closed on New Year's Day, has been muuerously signed by the members. It would appear that the fall in the value of money, and the consequent diminution in the rates allowed by the joint-stock banks, are forcing money for investment into the Stuck Exchange. This is a natural consestuence, for it is not likely that the public will long be satisfied with receiving 2. 1 . 1 . ; per cent. But as the money which is thus brought into the Stuck Exchange simple travels round into other banking depositories, the resources of the bankers, as a body, cannot be thereby reduced, and this explains the reason why bankers, over-supplied with money, are now re possessing themselves of the stock which they were obliged to part with during the panic, and which they refrained from buying back during the long reign of distrust and of dear money which ensued. isheii immolated in a bishop, or, at least, a lay lord, might be Moreover, while investors are tempted by the low Pasae-MoNeee, IN IBELAND.-Sydney Smith deuinta,tuaantitohne t o o ul t y i,, form at prices which have prevailed, speculators for a fall , have been anxious to cover their sales by re- ' 1 C.478'.1.1ty like l l n y t e o l'elle i ‘ o " !artor a ea matter of the Fenian panic.
