FUND LIFE AND INSURANCE COMPANIES, GRAND COURT OF WARDMOTE. Yesterday the annual Grand Court was held at Guildhall, the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor in the chair, for the purpose of receiving the returns of the ward officers elected for the ensuing year, and the presentments of the various ward inquests. Several of the ward inquests presented returns of persons who have been in the habit of refusing to take out their freedom, although repeatedly applied to by the authorities. The following, which is the substance of the return of the St. Dunstan's district of Farringdon Without Ward, will give an adequate idea of the nature of the general complaint of those inhabitants of the City who are free:— " We present the following persons, occupying pre mises for the purposes of trade within the ,aid parish of St. Dunstan's-in-the-West, in the ward of Ferringdon Without, London. Several of them have been presented from time to time by former inquests, but have not yet taken up their freedom. And in making this part of our presentment, we consider it our duty to impress most particularly upon your Lordship and this Hon. Court the necessity of, your taking some steps to check this growing evil of so large an accumulation of non freemen, as it operates most unjustly upon a great number of our fellow-citizens, who have already complied with the de mand to take up their freedom, many of them at very great inconvenience to themselves, at the time when the expense was so much more than is at present required for the same purpose. Therefore, we most respectfully submit that after so many years' indecision and delay something ought to be done forthwith, either to take the necessary legal means of enforcing your demands upon the non-freemen, or to relieve us in future from thii most unpleasant and apparently useless duty., " And we, the said Wardmote Inquest,-do make these our several presentments, according to the articles of charge given to us at our election as afnrestdd. " JOHN FREED; Foreman. FRANS CLEMOW. G. W. LEES. J. HART. R. E. HAYWARD, H. COCKERELL. JOSEPH W. CROON. GEORGE HYDE. JOHN WALLER. CHARLES MITCHELL." THOMAS HODGES. In other presentments on the subject it was stated that several instances occurred in which the gentle men of the inquests were laughed at upon applying to the non-freemen for compliance with the existing regulations, and that the want of the exercise of the necessary authority was calculated to render the office of inquestmen useless and to throw contempt upon the Court of Aldermen. Alderman MooN said that, as regarded his ward (Portsoken), the inquestmen of the preceding year felt so much indignation at the supineness of the Court of Aldermen on the subject of compelling the non-freemen to take out their freedom, that he was surprised at the appearance of a presentment on the present occasion. The inhabitants of the ward-ac cused the Court of Aldermen of actual neglect of duty in not prosecuting the non-freemen, who were now more numerous than ever, and were determined'aot to endure any further delay. The LORD MAYOR said, in answer to all the pre sentments, that the Freedom Committee had been for a considerable time occupied in investigating the im portant question to which the gentlemen of the in quests so naturally referred ; but a delay had una voidably arisen from the severe indisposition of the chairman. It ought to be remembered that the subject was one of extreme delicacy, and one upon which a precipitate decision might be attended with much in convenience and trouble.—(Hear, hear.) It had been stated by some of the inquests that the present price of the freedom differed from that which was affixed to the privilege some time ago. Perhaps the result of the deliberations of the committee would be the re commendation of a still lower amount than the 61. at present demanded. At all events the committee were laboriously occupied in examining the whale question, and he had no doubt would report upon it the moment the chairman should be able to resume his office. -In the meantime the presentments should be all laid before the Cohn of Aldermen.

GEORGE EDWARD HOE.' .EST, who for a period of IC years, in an exe, nplary manner, performed the duties of his church, and was distinguished by his benevolence and charity in the wide district under his charge. The act of atrocity by which the Rev. Mr. Holiest was suddenly cut off is universally known, but those only who are acquainted with his posi tion are aware that he never had tile mea,ts of making a provisi.n for his widow. Under such circninstances, it is hoped that the case of Mrs. Holiest will commend itself to the generous consideration of those who are blessed with the means of alleviating, so far as human sympathy and assistance can alleviate, the distress of a family so fearfully bereft of its natural supporter. The income of Mrs. Holiest does not exceed 401. per annum, and subscriptions are earnestly solicited in aid of these inadequate means. Subscriptions will be thankfully received by the following bankers :—Messrs. Herries. Farquhar, and Co.; Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co.; Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co. ; Messrs.

The directors of this company have commenced heir lawsuit against the Caledonian, the Lancaster and Carlisle, and the London and North-Western Companies, to recover certain sums alleged to be due to the Scottish Central Company, according to the terms of a working agreement entered into in January, 1849, with the above companies. By the agreement the southern companies were liable to pay a certain sum for their proportion of the through traffic, and were jointly and severally re sponsible for the working expenses of the Scottish line. The Scottish Central Company claim from the Caledonian Company the sum of 8,6961. as the proportion of through traffic from July, 1849, to January, 1850 ; also a further sum of 6,2741. from January to November 31, 1850. From the Lancaster and Carlisle Company they claim 4,2271., arid from the London and North-Western Company, on account of through traffic receipts, 2,5411. They also claim from these companies, conjointly and severally, the sum of 350,0001. as damages, arising from non-pay ment of salaries and working expenses; and also the sum of 550,0001. for breach of contract. The Sou • them companies deny their liability under the con tract, and it appears they are determined to resist the claims of the Scottish Central Company. The professed object of the agreement was to secure to the Scottish Central Company a net revenue of 71,4001. a year, being equivalent to 7 per cent. on'he share capital of the company, in consideration of that company sending all the traffic in their power.over the Caledonian, the Lancaster and Carlisle, and the Lon don and North-Western Railways. The working of the Scottish Central line under the agreement in - volved considerable losses on the Southern companies, and after working for 10 months the joint committee of directors agreed to modify the terms of the agree ment, and to accept 50,0001. a year and half profits, instead of 71,400/. a year, but which the shareholders refused to sanction, and the Southern compahies from that time ceased to work the line. The lawyers will in all probability realise a large sum by this foolish agreement. -5 0 0 -2 2 0 Per Messrs. Co.utts L. 3i. - 2 00 J. D. - - 1 0 0 L.M. - 010 0 L. M. W. - - - 2 0 0 P. H.

It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers, that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the true risk ba made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu rance Company is established. The true rate of Premium for Fire Insarance can only be ap proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto been sufficiently acted on, or systematically applied. Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk. The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own experience, from time to titre, adopt such rates of Premium as the nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange ments as regards tariffs with other offices. erect Trains Trains from the Boats marked t • 07nibuses from Fene,urch-street Station to all parts of London k,b7 ( i n arter of an ho ur .

LONDON. Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Rdin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' hall, London, honorary Member of the London hospital Medical Society, Scc. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It nn 'ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond - ne reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or arAtance where alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has tale,on the highest medical honours, as his .11plomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

ALEXANDER ROBERTSON, Manager. CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURT EI ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2501.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding, Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 30. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums.

After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects. BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU MATIC PILLS, by the continued series of testimonials which have been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years, has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written by Jelin Mollard Wheeler, Esq., Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav ing been handsel by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Prout for publi cation, will fully confirm. " I knew you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills, but let me emphatically tell you, in mercyito any friend who may suffer from gout, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them. In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person ally aware of their powers, but I see my friends and acqtvintances receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they dissipate it altogether; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

[ADVERTISEMENT.] -"The most popular Medicine for the Cure of Indigestion, Stomach and Liver Complaints are Holloway's Pills.—Captain Smith, residin g a t P oplar, who had resided the greater part of his life at sea, and a consider able portion of that time in warm climates, suffered dreadfully from a liver complaint and indigestion, and often to such an extent that he thought it was impossible for him to recover.

CORNHILL WARD. —Yesterday being Plough Mon day, the inquest for the above ward proceeded to make their presentments to the Court of Ald e rmen, and afterwards dined with their foreman, Mr. ex-Sheriff' Nicoll, who had also in vited the alderman, Sir John Pine Bart., the members of the Common Council, with other ward and parochial officers. The large room in that ancient and well-known tavern, Tom's Coffeehouse, was fitted up fo r the occasion, an d every delicacy in and out of season was liberally provided. Aft er the usual loyal and civic toasts, followed by others dedicated to the rector (the Rev. Mr. Wrench) , Messrs, Leggett, Sax ton, and Hoppe, the company separated, having h ear d some well executed glees, &c., from Messrs. §houbridge, Holm, and Edney, and all seemed well pleased with the worthy ex alierift'a hospitality. The inquestmen appeared to be satisfied with his Lordship's assurance of a speedy decision upon the freedom question which bas so long been agitated in the City. Alderman IVILsoN said that he could not see the inquest of his ward (Castle Baynard), the foreman of which ought to be present to hand in the return made on St. Thomas's-day, but he had to inform the Court that he had the return in his possession, and he wished to know whether the Court would receive it from him? The return was signed by him as alderman, but no doubt it was informal in him to present it. There appeared, however, to be no alternative; and if the Court refused to receive it at his hands, the Common Councilmen and other officers just elected to serve in the ward would not be qualified to take their seats. He at the same time did not by any means wish to establish a precedent which might be subject to animadversion. Alderman CHALLIS intimated that the course pro posed was liable to objection as an interference with the inhabitants, who might he disposed upon some occasions to complain of matters upon which there was difference of opinion existing between them and their aldermen.—(Hear, hear.) It might, too, be in judicious to give any check to the communication between the inhabitants and the Court of Aldermen, from which mutual advantages never failed to pro ceed.—(Rear, hear.) Alderman LAWRENCE said, the reception of a pre sentment under the circumstances very properly mentioned by Alderman Wilson might lead to ir regularities. There might be occasions on which the inquest differed from others in the ward, and on which very reasonable objection might be entertained to the appearance of an alderman as a substitute for the inquest. The LORD MAYOR said, he thought he was autho rised to receive the presentment, as it was signed by Alderman Wilson ; but at the moment his Lordship expressed his intention to overrule the objection the gentlemen of the inquest, who had been detained by accident, arrived, and the necessary forms wore gone through without any violation of the old practice. The Court then adjourned. LAW AMENDMENT SOCIETY. Last night a meeting of the Law Amendment So ciety was held in their rooms, 21, Regent-street; Mr. Commissioner Fane in the chair. Mr. STEWART said he had some important com munications to read from Mr. Dudley Field, contain ing the opinions of some of the judges of New York, as to the operation of the new code, combining equity and common law in one court. The first was from Mr. Justice Sanford, who was one of the Vice- Chancellors under the old system. The Learned Gentleman read the opinions of Mr. Justice Sandford, Mr. Justice Parker, and Mr. Justice Harris, the first, who had been a Vice-Chancellor under the old sys tem, expressed a modified approval of the new sys tem; the others, who were judges in the Supreme Courts, gave a strong and decided opinion in its fa vour, though they admitted that time would be neces sary to perfect its details. He (Mr. Stewart) thought that these letters, even if no others were to be laid before the society, were sufficient to warrant it in appointing the committee, of which he had given notice, to consider in what respect, if any, the proce dure and principles of our courts of law and equity might be assimilated, taking into consideration the provisions of the New York code. He begged to nominate as the members of that committee, Messrs. Fane, M. D. Hill, Cr eas y, B e th e l], Trower, Vansit tart, Neale, Pigott, Stewart, IV. Hawes; Mr. Alder man Salomons, and Mr. Elli o tt. _ _ Mr. MAC4UEEN thought the step they were called upon to take was extremely important, not only to that society, but to the public. "Would not the so ciety by appointing that committee commit itself to the scheme which had been adopted in New York ? That scheme had not proved successful, as not one of the judges whose opinions had been read to them, had expressed unqualified approval!' of it, and one at least had expressed great doubt. The plan itself was no new thing. More than three centuries ago it had been propounded by Sir Thomas More, but a greater man had disapproved of it—Lord Bacon. He was aware the committee was merely for inquiry, but ho thought they should pause before taking such a de tided step. He wished it to be understood that the society did not express any general approval of the scheme. Mr. TRowEE, on the contrary, hoped that the so ciety would distinctly say that they generally ap proved of the scheme.—(Hear, hear.) The opinions of the judges were so strong that they were urgently called upon to go fully into the subject.—(Hear, hear.) If they looked at the philosophy of the sub ject, there was no essential distiction between equity and law, and to continue separate courts was at this period perfectly absurd. Mr. M. D. HILL supported th e mo ti on f or a com mittee. Even had this change not been made by the state of New York, the question was one which in itself challenged their most care f u l i nqu iry and deli berate attention. Mr. Stewart and himself had had on interview recently with Mr. Pride, a member of the New York Law Society, while on his way thr ou g h London to the C o ntinent. That gentleman was op posed to the chan g e, but hi s own experience since it was made had made him a supporter of it. He (Mr. Hill) . did not advocate such a change in the law as, by depriving the legal profession of fair emolum ents, would drive m e n of learning and ability from the pro fession. That would be a greater curse to the /publi c than the most ingeniously.constructed system for MADRID AND VALENCIA. Yesterday there was a very numerous meeting before his Honour the Master in Chancery Blunt, on the occasion of proceeding with the charge against the directors of this company, calling upon them to ac count for the appropriation of the sum of 106,0301., received by them from the shareholders of the com pany. Before the proceedings commenced, Mr. D. Wire, wbo represented a large number of the shareholders, said he had been instructed to make an application to know what had been done with the caution money, amounting to 17,0001., stated to have been received by Mr. Quilter, the official manager, from the Spanish Government, as they were anxious to ascertain whe ther or not his Honour might not direct that a dividend should be paid out of it to the shareholders after re serving a sufficient sum fur the payment of costs and for an indemnity fund. His HoNona said he did not see how he could make a dividend under the estate until the Court was in possession of all the facts. The proceedings in connexion with the charge were ;hen commenced. Mr. Selwyn and Mr. Mellish appeared a) counsel for the Official Manager; Mr. Glasse, for Mr. Chad wick ; Mr. Daniell, for Count Eyre ; Mr. Baggallay, for Messrs. Capper and Knill ; Mr. Gifford and other counsel for other directors. A number of preliminary objections to proceeding with the case were taken by these gentlemen on be half of their clients. Mr. Selwyn said they would have to prove the payment into Messrs. Mastermans', through the bankers' clerk s , o f th e whole of the 106,0301., and with this view he proceeded to call Mr. J. G. Ercke, who, in the course of a long ex amination and cross-examination, proved from the ledger and railway call book, that between the 10th and IGth of October, 1845, he had received on ac count of deposits paid into Messrs. Masterman's to the account of the Madrid and Valencia Railway the sum of 17,7501. This account was opened by order of the trustees, Messrs. Chadwick, Col4uhoun, and and this order was dated 9th of October, 1845. By an item in the ledger, dated the 7th of October, it appeared that a sum of 30,0001. was advanced by the firm. He did not know that Count Eyre had any control over the moneys that were placed in Master man's. The account opened was in the name of the Madrid and Valencia Railway Company, and not in conformity with the letter, directing that it should be opened in the name of the three trustees. The banker's receipts were made out on account of the trustees of the Madrid and Valencia Railway Co m pany. Mr. E. Masterman, one of the partners in the bank, was then called to prove the opening of an account with his firm, the authority from the trustees for so doing, and the course of business pursued by the bank in these matters. It was their practice to return the cheques with the pass-book after a certain time. Mr. R. Smith deposed to having received between the 10th and 23d of October, 1845, a sum of 33,3801. Subsequent accounts connected with this company appeared to have been opened with the bank in the following year, on the Ist of April.--(Laughter.) All these sums were paid in cheques. Mr. Billing, another clerk in the bank, deposed to the first item in the banker's ledger on behalf of the company being 30,7121., and to the last, or balance, its credit, being 221. 16s. lid., out of a total receipt of 106,0301.—(Laughter.) Evidence was then gone into to prove due service on Mr. Rose, solicitor f or M r . Ch a d w i c k, of en order in for the delivering up o f a ll th e b oo k s and papers his possession. It was s h own that Mr. Rose was ill in bed. Mr. Glasse said that Mr. Rose was ready to pro duce the books upon payment of the lien he had upon them of 5,0001. paid o n by the a 2 ch 9 e th qu of e Mr. G. Street, clerk to Messrs. _Barker, th e adver tising agents, deposed to orders f or the i nsert i on of advertisements ha l v l in e g m b o e n e e n y receivedwas August, 1845. signed by the directors. The proceedings were then adjourned to this day. It is stated that the total amount of the deposit money received by the Spanish directors from the Spanish shareholders in this company, on between 9 ,000 and 3,000 shares taken up, h as been returned to them in full. - - KELSO BRANCH OF THE NORTH BRITISH RAILWAY. —On Wednesday afternoon a locomotive and tender passed along the line from Wallace Nick to the terminus at Max wellheugh. Mr. Ross, the contractor, Mr. Jardine, civil en gineer, and some others, accompanied the engine, which went at a moderate pace. The result was highly satisfactory, and the smoothness of the incline was the subject of general re mark. We understand that the Government inspector will examine the line on Saturday, and that it will be opened for general traffic next week.— Ktlso Chronicle. BRISTOL LUNATIC ASYLUM.—It is stated that an order has been sent to the Bristol parochial authorities from the Secretary of State for the erection of a lunatic asylum, the estimated cost of which is 50,000/. TRF.L.AND. EtiCUMUERED EETATEa COURT. DUBLIN, MONDAT.—Out of 15 additional petitions Mr sales presented bet e eon the 31 and 9th of Ja nuary, there is but little in the newest batch to call for eb,ei vetion. Mr. Ernest De Tocqueville has property in the county and city of Cork producing a clear rental of 5401. per annum, upon which there are encumbrances to the extent of 11,4271., the in terest due thereon not being known. The Meyo estates of Mr. Joseph Miles M i Donnell, for some time, by the grace of Dr. M‘Hale, one of the Mem bers for that county, yield un annual profit rent of 3161. 65. 14d., by the sale of which encumbrances amounting to over 20,000/. are to b 3 wiped out. Mr. Patrick Shannon is possessed of property in the city of Limerick of the yearly value of 1,7281. 143. 4d., and es the charges against it are but 16,339/. 12s. Li., and the interest 1,414/. 9 5., there is a reasonable probability that the inherit or , who is also the petiti oner , may not merely discharge: his but be left in possession of a residue out of his estates. Mr. Alexander Arthur's property in the county of Antrim owes, between principal and interest, a ruts bordering close upon 10,000/., to free it from which there is a profit rental to be disposed of which produces 633/. a year, less 441. bead rent. The grand total of petitions now figures at 1,492, and the cry is, "still they come." Tire " CRISIS" OF THE CHURCH.—The Archdeacon of Limerick has responded to a numerously signed rcquisition, and convened a general meeting of the clergy of the diocese for Thursday next, " to consider the course to be taken in the present crisis of the Church of England and Ireland." DREADFUL CATASTROPHE. The accounts from Belfast bring the following par ticulars of the falling of a mill, accompanied by a me lancholy loss of life " An accident, the most melancholy in its consequences that has happened in the neighbourhood of Belfast for many years, occurred yesterday morning, near Beer's bridge, and within a short distance of this town. We allude to the falling in of a now preparing mill, the pro perty of Mr. Robert Boyd and the Messrs. Steen, which had been commenced in the month of October last, and was rapidly approaching completion. The persons who have lost their lives (believed to be thirteen in number) were workmen engaged upon the premises, carpenters and bricklayers, with a few labourers in the employment of the firm, who were at the time sinking a drain to carry off the water along the base of the columns within the building. The building itself had been roofed, and the slating all but finished; and no cause can be as signed for the accident, save the supposition that the heavy rain of the previous night had loosened the brick-work to such au extent as to unfit it for the support of the beams. About a quarter past seven o'clock the workmen commenced their operations for the day, and they had not been longer than three-quarters of an hour at work when the whole build ing came down with a fearful crash. The ruin was complete and instantaneous, and the unfortunate men, souse of whom were employed in preparations for arch ing the second floor of the mill (which was three stories high and about 80 feet in length), and others as we have already described, were at once overwhelmed. Those in the lower apartments, who had a slight warning afforded them by the noise of the metal beams upon the first floor, had of course the best chance, and most of them escaped with trifling injury. Not so, however, those whose business had brought them to the upper rooms. They were driven down and covered with immense heaps of building materials, planks, and metal beams, which bore before them all impediments to the very base merit story in a few seconds. As might be readily sur mised, the noise of the fall was heard at some distance from the place, all the assistance within a good distance of the spot became immediately available, and the work of endeavouring to extricate the unhappy men was set about with zeal and activity. The position in which the parties had been seen last was pointed out, and the work men commenced the task of searching them out among the debris. During the day, no fewer than seven persons were brcught forth from the ruins alive, and conveyed to the General Hospital, where every attention which their condition required was paid them. Down to six o'clock in the evening, the remains of the following men were taken out:—Samuel Benson, John Magill, Patrick Kelly, John Shannon, James Greer, John Scullion, and William M'llroy. It was then believed that seven others named, respectively, Kelly, Lathers, Johnson, Bryson, Rea, and Mallanus, were still lying underneath the mass of rubeish which occupied what had been the ground floors of the building. At that hour, however, even should they be recovered, it would be wholly futile to expect that there could he the slightest chance of their resuscitation. We hare never seen such a wholesale demolition of any structure as cecurred in the pre sent instance. The two gables alone now stand of the entire edifice, the side walls and the whole of the interior fixtures having come down together. The ap pearance presented by the bodies was, in almost every case, truly appalling, owing to mutilations inflicted by the falling mass; and the shrieks of the friends and relatives of the deceased were truly heartrending. The loss to the proprietors, we underetand, will amount to 3,0001." GREAT WILL CASE.--Th e Court of Delegifes gave judgment on Saturday in the celebrated will case of " Thewles v. Kelly," involving property to the extent of 300,0001. Judgment was unanimous in favour of the appellant, the Court thus reversing the decision of the Court below, and refusing letters of administration to the will propounded by the respon dent, who was also condemned to all the costs of the proceedings, amounting to 15,0001. Yesterday morning the body of a respectable fe male was found suspended by the head from the area railings in front of the Railway Hotel, Westland row, from one of the windows of which it appears that she had fallen by accident or design. As far as the particulars of the tragic affair have been collected, it seems that about six o'clock on the previous (Sa turday) afternoon the deceased, accompanied by an elderly man, of very gentlemanlike appearance, and a young woman, aged about nineteen or twenty years, with a fine boy of seven or eight years of age, had come to the hotel, where a double-bedded apartment was ordered, and into the occupation of which they at once entered. The room was on the fourth or topmost story of the house, and at least 40 feet in height from the street. The people of the hotel had no knowledge of them. The two first-mentioned parties seemed to be man and wife, and it is supposed occupied one of the beds, while the juniors with them took the other. The party had no refresh ments whatever from the hotel during the evening or night, and the first notice which the people of the place had of the terrible catastrophe, was from the discovery of the body by the boot-boy. It may be here mentioned that the deceased appeared to be in the prime of life, somewhere about twenty-eight years of age. It was then ascertained that the name of the deceased was Margaret Anne Minniss, the name of her male companion William Fivey, of Union Lodge, in the county Down. The young woman's name was stated to be Alicia Vaughan, and she was under stood to be the niece or some near relative of William Fivey. The boy, it was understood, was the son of the deceased and of the male prisoner, who, we were informed, had been living together for some years in an unmarried state, and had had several children, but one of whom (the above mentioned) only survived. According to report, a marriage was fixed to take place between the parties at Monkstown Church on the day following the sad catastrophe, and the neces sary licence was lodged with the clerk or sexton of that parish. The inquest will be held to-day. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Alecto steam-sloop will be completed at Woolwich by the 25th instant.
