Mr. Wehgter was about to leave:Washing ton for Sr. John's, New Brunswick. He purposed con tinuing his tour through that 'province by the)ine of the proposed railroad from Portland to Halifax. It is said that arrangements were being made to place her Ma jesty's steam-frigate Devestation at his disposal for a cruise. The New York Herald, speaking of the rumours re lative to the retirements from the Cabinet, says--; " We believe there is no doubt of the resignation of Mr. Graham, which took place since he was nominated by the Whig convention to the Vice-Presidency. We also believe that theris is no doubt that Mr. Webster has withdrawn from the Cabinet, for the whole summer at least, and very likely for good and all. Ot the authenticity of the statement on this point we have no doubt; for we have received intelligence thereof, in the most undotibtedThape, during, the passage of Mr.- Web ster through this city on his return to Boston. We do not believe that 'Mr. Webster means to re-enter the Cabinet, even if he should return Jo Washington; mad we rather think that a great many of his friends in Mas sachusetts intend to replace him again in the United States Senate—as South Carolina did Mr. Calhoun, and Kentucky did Mr. Clay—_in order that be may occupy there a higher intellectual position for the remainder ot his days than even the occuPant.cif the White-House, whoever may be elected to that position next Novem ber.

On Saturday morning the Rev. Dr. Okes, Provost of King's College, Cambridge, and Vice-Chancellor of that University, arrived at Eton College, accompanied by the Rev. Mr. Wit ts an d the Rev. Mr. Thring, the posers. They were received by the Rey. Mr. Hodgson, the Pro vost, the Rev. De. Hawtrey, the Head Master, mad others of the college authorities. At about half past ten a brilliant assembly of about 300 had collected in the upper school to hear the speeches. The school was fitted up in the same manner as on the occasion of Prince Albert's visit, on the 4th of June, and the com pany had much th e same appearance. Scarcely bad the audience taken their seats, and the boys, to the number of 600, assembled in the part allotted to their use, when the Provost, Fellows, Masters, and Assistant masters accompanied by the' most distinguished of their guests, entered the school-room. Foremost of all walked the Earl of Derby, who was immediately re cogi.ised by the boys; and the cry of " Three cheers for Lord Derby" found a ready response, in the midst of which his Lordship bowed his acknowledgments, and took a seat near to the dais whence the speeches ware delivered. His Lordship was accompanied by Mr. Secretary Walpole, Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, Lord Charles Clinton, Mr. W. B. Bayley, and others of the neighbouring gentry and clergy. After the speeches had commenced the Duke of Newcastle arrived, and took his seat near Lord Derby. Lord John Manners after wards made his appearance, and joined the distinguished circle. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, who, as Sir Strat ford Canning, was well known and universally respected at Eton, did not appear to be recognized, or his Lordship would, most likely, have been greeted with a Cheer, on his return from Constantinople. The only new feature in the upper school since last year consists in the addition of exquisitely sculptured busts of her Majesty and the Prince Consort, presented by them to the college. We cannot, however, compli ment the authorities on the judgment displayed in choos ing a position for the figures of the Queen and the Prince. They are placed above the principal entrance, almost out of sight, and are looking from instead of to wards each other. A bust of the late Earl Grey (by Campbell) has just been presented to the College by the family of his Lordship, and will be placed in the upper school. The family of Lord Denman have also signified their intention of presenting a bust of his Lordship for the same purpose. The election speeches proceeded in the following order:— Puller, " Micipsa ad filios et Jugarthatn."—Sallustius. Heatbeote, m a., " Coriolanus. —Shakspere. Lambert, " Creon."—Sophocles. Wilder, " Charolois."—Massinger. Carter, ma., K.S., "In Aschinem, ex Orat. de Corona." —Demosthenes. Scott, ma., " Richard ll.''—Shakspere. Wilberforce, K.S., " Pro Milone."—Cicero. Patk, ma., " Hotspur."—Shakspere. Harper, me., K.S., " Philoctetes."—S op h oo l es. Evered, K S., " Against Taxing the American Colo nies."—Burke. Sterry, ma., K. 5.," Shylock."—Shekspete. Bing, " Theramenes."—Racine. Thackeray, K.S., "On the Employment of Indians in the War with America." —Lord Chatham. Neville, " Drances."—Virgilius. Earl of Lincoln," Turnus."—Virgilius. Cookesley, ma., Hamlet to the Players."—Shakspere. Mathias, K.S., " Duke of Buckingham."—Shakspere. The whole of the speeches were exceedingly well de livered, and as well received, Sterry and Cookesley call jog forth the most decided marks of approbation. Evered's most striking passa ges assages from Burke's master piece, delivered in Capital style, seemed t o attract the attention of the Noble Premier. Cookesley's very diffi cult recitation from Hamlet was given delightfully, Sterry's scene from Shylock—the dialogue on the Rialto with Antonio—was a fine piece of acting as well as speaking. The usual banquet took place in the afternoon, in the College-hall, which was decorated with ancient tapestry and otner wise appropriately fitted up for the occasion. The beautiful model of the College chapel, in silver (the gift of his late Majesty King William IV.), was placed on the centre table. The noble and distinguished com pany present at the speeches, reinforced by numbers who arrived later in the day, were the guests of the Provost and Fellows. Mr. Disraeli was expected, but the Right [lon. Gentleman was not present. The toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers" was drunk with enthusiastic ap plause, and when the Earl of Derby rose to return thanks the ancient ball reverberated with the cheers of the company. His Lordship, in the course of an eloquent and feeling speech, alluded to his early days and youthful pleasures at Eton, and stated that the Cabinet of which he had the honour to be the head numbered no less than eight Etonians. Again the old hall rang with the plaudits of the guests, and it is many „years since an election Saturday went off with so much -spirit. We might add that Mathias is the captain of the school, and that the number of boys on the books is 598, being about 6 less than at the corresponding period of last year. D AND OTHER POEMS. By John Clark Ferguson. The su ccess o f Mr. Fergirco.'s former work, "The Pleisures of Mu s i c "— a wo rk which, he tells us i n . preface, has gained for him the acquaintance of ' the Prince of Novelists," has encouraged him to make a second venture. The poems contained in this little unpretending volume are of a most graceful and pleasing character, awl will add to the popularity of their author. A RIDE THROUGH THE NUBIAN DE SERT. By Captain W. Peel, R.N. Longmans. If the name of its author in the first instance at tracts- attention to this little unpretending volume, the frank and manly tone in which it is written, and the genial spirit by which it is throughout pervaded, will not fail to rivet the interest of the reader, and to win for the writer very general sympathy and regard. The eight chapters contained in this volume, the brief length of which will disappoint many, are, we learn from the preface, a literal copy of the journal kept by Captain Peel Oaring his travels. " The limit of those travels," be further observes, " was Labeyed, th e cap it a l o f Kor dofan, where suffered so severely from fever and sgoe that it obliged me to return. I arrived there soon after the close of the rainy season, in the pride of health, and confidentra success, but three weeks after left, a pale and sickly shadow, w ith a ll my thoughts brought down as to how I should save my friend, who. was suffering still more severely than myself." These misfortunes are the cause of the abrupt termination of the travels. Instead of selecting Specimens from these delightful pages, which abound with anecdotes and with information, we advise our reader s to turn to the book itself, and we assure them that, having made the acquaintance of Captain Peel, they will thank us heartily for the introduction. PE CATACOMBS OF ROME. By C. Mac- It farane. Routledge. is stated at the l commencement of this little work t hat, besides the Rome upon the earth, there is an° ther Rome under the earth. Thi s myster i ous c reation well deserves attention ; it was dedicated to the church, there the early Christians withdrew to e tTaPe persecution and perform their worship un molested ; there they interred their mart) re. The epitaphs and inscriptions found in the catacombs are ?wen at the and of the book, which are very interest !,nit to peruse; on th e w h o l e , a very good idea of Rome Subterranea" may be formed from reading attentively this volume.

Having from which or for the " vile rabble" is effectually excluded, iititt snugger boroughs in which its voice is utterly Pow the supporters of the Derby Ministry have y generally contrived to get re-elected. But for this privi- lege they have had to pay a heavy price. The men, the ?Timere . aggregate of human beings, are there, but the prin- , e, the invisible essence which held them Bailie - ' nu evaporated, and the attraction of cohesion ached. A party they may still be called, but they have Ighstituted names for things and persons for principles, and await the first rough shake to scatter them abroad to unite no more, at least under th e i r present colours. . , Protectio n was the soul which informed this mass, and Imless a substitute can be devised as tangible, as level to the meanest capacity, as comprehensible by the selfish end shortsighted among us, the mass is destined to re- Mani soulless. With the Whigs the principles remain and gather str e n g th , b ut t h e men whom we identify with „thsM are rapidly disappearing. Lord John Russell. Lord beymour, Sir Francis Baring, Sir Charles Wood, and Mr. Labouchere, have indeed contrived to weather the .stor m , for it would be strange it the veteran statesman of the House of Bedford, the eldest son of the Duke of Somerset, and two of the connexions of our wealthiest merchants, could not And rest for the sole of their foot amid the Parliamentary deluge. But these successes have not been purchased without a dismal list of casual ties.. The Parliament which is now near ly completed .must make up it s mind, as best it may, • the services of Sir William Somerville , to oMdispense with 'William Gibson Craig , Lewis, Sirhirße ll r . Compare!' Stewart, Mr. Parker, Sir John )tonsil) Bellew Admiral IIY, Mr. Mitchell Sir David Dundas, and last, though not lean t, Sir' George Grey. Nor can we say that those who r emain hold .a. position in the eye of the country which qualified theta ior the reconstruction of the party thus di.re a ii., thinnetil and shattered. Lord Jona Ru.ssell, if j a i exactly magni nominis umbra, is forced to refer very far back; indeed, for popular achievements, and while the Principles of his first Reform Bill have every chaope of heink greatly extended, and the commercial policy Which he maintained is sure, to be carried out, he is so far, from being able to enlist new support that he cannot even command a personal following, or exercise suffi cient influence over the country to obtain the return of hi4,ancient friends and devoted adherents. Lord Grey Would never be tolerated by any Government except as Secretary for the Colonies, and in that position he has become absolutely impossible, nor is it very probable that thenation willever demand the restoration of Sir C Wood to the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. We think that the elections have pretty well dispelled the fear which lurked in many minds of a rso mstruction of the Wbig party on its old exclusive and dynastic principles. While men are entering Parliament without a single tangible profession except their willingness to support Lord Derby, others are starting J in u life advocating almost all the pri nc i p l es of Lord ohn blic Russsll, but care sully guarding themselves from expressing any intention of fighting under his leadership. The name of the dead Sir Robert Peel has yet a charm; the name of the living Lord Derby is all that his party has to cling to; but the name of the gieat Whig leader conciliates few supporters and enlists no proselytes. This is no new thing. For the second lime in twelve years we see the Whig party its a state of disorganizati on an d dissolu tion, and in both c ases t hi s resu l t was prece d ed b y a Phenomenon of a precisely similar nature.

The squabble about the iledebateber ladies prevented Sir Robert Peel, and a t e er ll b foti im ided di strust ot his own party prevented Lord . se zin g o ffi ce until a year after the vv,igs had become o r m o e incapable of holdin g it.

" ' It seems that the Government has definitively 're solved to convene Congress, that it may determine the grave questions that have remained pending, the settle ment of which is imperiously demanded by the sad posi tion of the Republic. " Don Manuel Robles had resigned the post of Mini ster of State, and bad left the capital for Vera Cruz, es is asserted, for the purpose of arranging the question of the flour duties at that port. It is rumoured that if. the Congress is convened by the President all the other Ministers will resign. " Don Francisco de Arangoiz has been confirmed by the Council as Consul-General of Mexico at New York. " We translate the following from the Siglo : " ' Fifty-six thousand dollars were spent by the Go vernment on the new uniforms worn by the National Guard in the procession of /he Corpus Christi. If this is not stealing, we know not what to call it. While widows, veterans, and employes are dying with hunger, soldiers who are not soldiers glitter in beautiful dresses; while the savages are already at Jalisco and San Luis, and no means for defence are to be found, the capital of the republic presents the farce of a military parade; and while clamour is rife against Congress for the want of resources, the Government throws away 56,000 dollars in making a ridiculous ostentation of its armies. These are the great measures of the Government: " The Monitor Republicano says— "‘ Last night (9th 'of June) eight persons were arrested for conspiring against the Government Among them are Senores Tostal, Vidal, Velazquez, Ayllon, and a Franciscan friar.

The following is from a Gibraltar paper of the 7th instant: ".The neutral ground, the scene of many a manoeuvre of the troops stationed in the garrison, from the fre quency of this occurrence generally attracts within its precincts but few attendants at these military spectacles. A well-founded on dit, however, having gone forth a few days ago, that a battolion of the 'sister service,' taken from the various ships composing the fleet at pre sent lying is the bay, was to have a field day,' a large number of spectators were drawn to the spot early on Monday morning. There was a novelty in the idea; expectation was roused, and people wondered (unpardon ably we must own, on this occasion) whether Ocean's Son,' from the few opportunities be could necessarily have of acquiring a knowledge of and practice in 'Drill,' would note , bear .perhaps a semblance—a little wo say. ! a fish out.of water.' But the results of the morn ing proved that Jack has amphibious' qualities, and lhatf.whother required •by his country to serve upon ` the open sea' or terra firnia,le is equally at home upon both, and ready to attend to her call. The morning se lected. was remarkably • favourable, and the process of disembarkation made an extremely pretty Spectacle from the Landport-gates, whence the men in their neat white .dress and straw hats were seen filing along the wharf fromtheir boats, while the calm surface of the water was broken into a thousand' bright reflections by the dip of many a well-timed oar. The divisions after being collected moved to their poSition, and received the admiral in line with the usual coMpliment. The line was then broken into open colum n o f companies and marched past in quick 'time. The bands of the Bellerophon and Ven geance were in attendance. The meo;c...ntng their original position, the col umn was w h ee l ed i nto line and pertorined the manual and platoon exercise, which, not withstanding the difficulty of the word of command reaching everywhere, from the great length of the line, was done in good time, and showed them to be on terms of intimacy with 'Brown Bess' equal with the s o ldi er . g The offi cer commanding the brigad, Lord Geor ge Pau lot, the n put the battalion throu g h the vario us manceuvres, forming open column, direct echellon of battalions, and then square, re-formingadvancing in line, the dressing of which was beautifully preserved h and caused admiration.

The battalion was then broken up and marched to the several places of embarkation, the bands playing popular naval airs. Altogether it was an extremely Pleasing sight; and many, particularly of the fair sex, saw that morning the Neutral Ground at an hour at which they had never seen it before. We are in hopes that, when the fleet pays us another visit, we shall have such inothei field day. SPORTING NOTES. No. CCLXXI. THE PROBABLE FIELDS FOR TO-MORROW'S RACES AT GOODWOOD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The Gratwicke Stakes—Longbow, Father Thams;King Pepin, the• Nabob, and perhaps Hesperus. LONGBOW and FATHER THAMES are almost certain to occupy the first and second plates, King Pepin being third, Nabob fourth, and Hesperus last. The Ham Stakes—Belgravia, Potentia colt, Incense, Estrella; Baleine filly, Phrygia, Miss Sarah filly, Tat fourd, Belle Sauvage filly, and Refraction colt, to which it is probable may be added Vanderdecken, Defiance, and War-whoop. As I have already remarked in my note of Friday, I can discover nothing to beat BEL GRAVIA, without it is destined to be accomplished by Vanderdecken or Phrygia; the only others of note iu the race being Talfourd and the Paraction colt. The great - 300 Sovs. Stakes—Newminster, Midas, Harpsichord, and perhaps, for the chance of saving his stake, Croupier. Of course, NEWMINSTER and MIDAS Will be first and second. The 50 Sovs. Sweepstakes—HAßßlNGEß, STOCKWELL , MAIDSTONE. It is not utterly i m p oss ibl e b u t that th e y may run in in the order I have placed them. The Lavant Stakes—Sister to Mountain Deer, Wil liam Rufus, Torment, Amazon, Margaret of Anjou, and perhaps the Potentia colt. THE SISTER TO MOUNTAIN DEER and WILLIAM RUFUS I anticipate seeing first and second, with the Amazon close up. The other two races will not close and name until to night. The prices for to-morrow's events rule as follow: Gratwicke Stakes-2 to 1 each agst Longbow and Father Thames, 5 to 2 agst King Pepin, 6 to 1 agst The Nabob, Bto 1 agst Claverhouse, 10 to 1 agst any other.

Portsmouth Dockyard, July 22. " The admiral superintendent, as colonel comman dant, on the conclusion of the drills for the season, has to report the expression of .former - years of his entire approbation of the judicious arrangements of the offi cers, and the orderly conduct, great attention, and con sequent progress, of the men in their respective ex ercises. " The performance of the boat companies, under Lieut. Colonel Davies, has excited much and deserved attention on the part of the pUblic. " The excellent practice both of the artillery and in fantry, as it could under the circumstances of limited time and means be the result alone of strenuous effort and great application, is worthy of high commendation, and the admiral is periluaded that no year has been more usefully employed than the present in military duties since the formation of the brigade. " The retirement of Lieutenant-Colonel Fincham is a subject of great regret; but he has set an example, an& established a system, which are well followed and sup ported by the officers lately under his command. " The colonel commandant begs to return his thanks to Lieutenant-Colonel Davies, Majors Edwards, Vinter, and Rice, to the captains, subalterns, non-commissioned officers and privates, for their zealous discharge of all their duties. Ile is much indebted to Captain Mould, Royal Engineers, who condescends'to sot as his aide-de camp; and ho is sensible of the attention of• Dr. Elliott, medical officer of the brigade. He cannot too highly applaud the indefatigable exertions of Lieutenant and Adjutant Long, whose judicious mode of instruction is greatly to be admired, and which have been emulated by his immediate subordinates, the drill sergeants. " This being the last opportunity which the rear-ad miral will have of addressing the brigade as such, he bids a cordial farewell to every individual connected with it. . • "H. PRESCOTT , Admiral Superintendent." PLYMOUTH, JULY 25.—The Lords C omm i ssioners of the Admiralty a re expected at this port a b out Wednes day next, the 28th inst., on an official visit of inspection. The officers and crew of her Majesty's frigate Spartan, 26, Captain Sir William Hoste, will be paid wages on the 26th inst., and she will probably sail for Hong Kong on the 27 th. Her Majesty's frigate liavanuah is ordered to be corn sinned at this port. The Brunswick steatnpacket, Captain W. Harvey, on the 22d inst., at 1.1 P.m., When taking her ordinary pug" sage from Ply mouth to Portsmouth, eight miles tram Portland, the lights bearing.E.S.E., observed something 4 which bore the appear ance o f t h e wrec k of a vessel 400 to 500 tons register, botto m u p ; it ma y have been i : of timber, but seemed hko a solid body. throughout During the late storm which prevailed height here this part of England, and which was il iebtn i ng eon between 2 and 4 P.M. on the 7th inst., thepirt;yeable, 120, ductors on board her Majesty ' 3 in Hamoaze, were to the ship, while electric fluid, but no injury.

RYDE, SATURDAY NIGHT.—As was arnounced in a former communication, the manual general meeting of the members of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club took place this afternoon, for the sdnaission of new members, and for determining on the merits of V - .. 3 respective pro tests that had been sent in against two or three prima being given up, that had been sailed for and claimed by yachts during the regatta. In two of those instances it will'be seen that the protests have been fatal to the re tention of the prizes by the supposed winners of them. There was a very full attendance; the commodore of the club,, Mr. G. Holland Ackers, in the chair. • The first protest taken into consideration was against the 50/. cup, time race, sailed for by small class schobners not "exceeding 100 toes, on Tuesday, being Cluisnd by the Bianca, 30 tons, by Mr. C. F. hotntt::•liutThnereforrdne. e t hewonws neprroo[fetshteedpraignacienssst 0l b :a , M ola r the ground that the Bianca did not carry a boat during the race, as required by the 14th article of the sailing regulation of the club. To this a counter-protest had been he sent in, that tw o men left the Princess Olga after t preparatory gun for starting was fired. With respect to the former of these, it was deemed a fatal error, and invalidated her claim; but as regarded the latter, being two men sent by the commodore himself to assist in getting the vessels r ea d y for starting,_ it was decided that it was not a case that came under the 22d article, and it was consequently overruled. A new ob jection, however, to both the Princess Olga and the Vestal was raised under the sth article, which requires that "in all matches, whether open to other clubs or not, the entrance money must be paid to the secretary or to the sailing committee previous to starting. Mr. Ru therford omitted to pay his entrance money until an hour after the race, and Mr. Rowles, the owner of the until this morning. A s th e rules Vestal, did not pay his had not been compiled with, the committee had no al ternative but to declare the race on the whole to be void, and 16 order that the cup should be sailed for again over the same course without time, on Monday next, the en tries' for into close at midnight this day. By this ar rangement several new yachts mayAo race. The next protest was on the part' of the Antagonist against the 501. cup, sailed for on Wednesday, being given up to the Sea Serpent, on the ground, that both her and the Lille went round the Calshot light-ship on the larboard instead of the starboard tack, the Antago 'nist Only taking the proper course. This being proved to the satisfaction of the committee the Antagonist was declared to be entitled to the cup, and it was ordered to be given up to her, although she did 9pt come in for long time after her rivals. The third protest was by Lord de Blaquiere, the owner of the America schooner, against both the Arrow and Mosquito cutters, for her Majesty's Cap, it appear ing that when those vessels got abreeet of Peel Bank, about midway between Old Castle Point and Rydo they fouled each other, which is contrary to the 18th article' of the regulations. Lord de Blaquiere, in a most courteous letter to Thomas Chain borlayne, Esq., the owner of the Arrow, disclaimed any wish to deprive him of the prize which he, bad so meritoriously won, but had merely sent the protest under a sense of his duty to take care that all the regu lations of the club should be adhered to. The rule states that two yachts touching each other will both be disqua lified, unless it can be clearly proved to the satisfaction of the committee which is the aggressor. After investi gating the matter the committee declared the Mosquito to be the aggressor, consequently the Arrow retains pos session of the valuable prize. This afternoon the company on the pier were consi derably amused by the display of " The Pig and the Pole. " It consisted of a pole forty feet in length being rigged out horizontally from the level of the pier into the sea, the surface of whi c h was well greased. At the end of this pole, fastened up in a box, was suspended a pig, and whoever could succeed in walkin g barefooted to box into th e sea the end of the pole, and letting pig oat of the , was entitled to thethe be imagined, frequent duckings we seethe l As may e a rp,sa . t of the attempts to reach the desired spot, several the greasy surface just as they Were about to o pp s ing from he box containing the porker ; and as they tumbl e e z d ze o t one after another, the fun wasjtestified by loud laughter.ver At length one man contrived to gain the end, let out the pig, plunged into the water after him, and finally suc ceeded in getting him into a boat, and bringing hi m i n ashore in triumph. The Me-mbers dined together at the Club-house, and afterwards there was a splendid display of fireworks by Mr. Robson, from a platform erected on the strand in front of the club-house. After the usual display of fire works in different devices, and the instantaneous illu- urination of the club-house in coloured fires, the whole concluded with a mimic sea-fight, representing the en gegcment of the Shannon and Chesapeake, with a heavy battery of guns from the club-house. The Brilliant schooner, lying off the pier, was * also illuminated. The whole gave general satisfaction to the numerous com pany that were assembled. The regatta ball, under distinguished patronage, will take:place on Monday, and it is expected will be very numerously and fashionably attended. TERRIFIC THUNDER-STORM. SERIOUS DAMAGE AT WALWORTH.—MIRA CULOUS ESCAPE OF SEVERAL PERSONS. Last evening the metropolis was visited by a most terrific storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain, which literally deluged and burst seve ral drains, and did considerable damage in various places, but in no locality was the storm so severely felt as in Walworth and vicinity, indeed, the tremendous peals of thunder, with the powerful and vivid flashes of forked lightning, have not hi en equalled since the me morable occasion when the Churches of Spitalfields, St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, and other public edifices were eo severely damaged. The occurrences on this occasion which are described hereunder took place about six, o'clock in the even ing, when, during an awfully tremendous peal of thun 7d,er, Port-street, fluid struck a stack of c hi mneys, No. street, Walworth-common, oc cu pi e d by Mr. Bacon, a vast portion of which f e ll i nto th© yard belonging to Mr. Clifford, pl um b er, of p or t-place. The latter observed the lightning, resem bling a large luminous ball, strik e th e b u i lding, which, it appeared, then passed clown the chimney to the u pper room, and after tearing a wa y t h e mantel-p i ece, partially destroying the stove, and i n j ur i ng var i ous a rticles of furniture, struck the bed upon which lay Mrs. Bacon, who is about sixty years of age, and has been bed-ridden for six 'ears. Fortunately it was a feather bed, and feathers being non-conducting, the poor woman received no other injury than being thrown violently to the floor, by which, however, she was rather severely bruised. From thence the fluid passed into the lower room, and was equally destructive to the walls, pictures, furniture, stove, &c., while the clock was stopped, and the floor strewed profusely with the debris, Each of the rooms appeared filled with blue flames and smoke, which gave rise to the supposition that the premises were in flames, rind resulted in the arrival of the Newington parish and some other fire-engines. About the same period a similar accident occurred to two adjoining houses situate at the corner of Peter and Waterloo streets, also at Walworth-common. Thum Louses ere iti the occupation of Mr Hards and Mr. Green, a greengrocer.
