The Report of the Board of Trade on Rail l'arilaftreunication in Scotland, and wh i c h has been laid. before ,fnent, states that " the Aberdeen line southward is a proper N li : l ecessary part of a system of railway communication for the kith '''fla portion of Scotland ;that this line appears to be well laid out, to the objects which it has to attain ; and that the impor pQeG °f it is increased by the consideration that a cheap and easy t4` ;_aversing a district of considerable population and lo@al traffic, ,_ed to have been surveyed from Aberdeen to Inverness. Should i) n v the case, it seems not improbable that railway communica , ;) the more northern counties ma y be extended in this direction." a ccordance with the views thus indicated in the report from roil h ard of Trade, it has now been reso lved to extend the means of hn ~ a _ com mun i c ation northward from Aberdeen to Inverness.

GENTRY, AND CLERGY, AND TO THE SHIPPING, MA • UFACTITRING, AND TRADING POPULA TION OF ENGLAND. It is well known to those acquainted with the Eastern coast of Norfolk. that, during heavy gales, the immediete vicinity of Yarmouth Roads Is one of the most dangerous parts of the entire coast of England. The number of wrecks which occur on the Barber, Cross, Corton, and especially the Scroby Sands, has long ago Induced a hardy, brave, and intrepid race of men to devote their entire lives to the saving of property and life along the coast. A number of boats called yawls, measuring from 50 to 80 feet long, and from 30 to 50 tons burden, have, at an expense of from 3001. to 4001. each, been built by the joint contributions of the Beachmen, who have f rued themselves into companies for that purr ose. With these they often leave the shore at the moat imminent risk of their lives, not only when the chance of saving property holds out to them the hope of a large reward in the shape of salvage, but with no less earnestness and intrepidity when the only satisfaction they have in prospect is rescuing from a watery grave some of their fellow creatures. On no occasion is it remembered that this noble and disinterested daring was more magnanimously displayed than rn Sunday, the 26th of January, 1843, on which day, during a veryheavy gale from N. W. and by W. no less than five brigs were in distrese four upon the Scroby Sand and one upon the Barber. In no one of these eases was there, at the time of their condition being discovered, the slightest probabi lity of saving anything like property. Nothing, therefore, but the warm promptings of humanity could offer any inducement to the Beachmen to man their boats ; yet they hesitated not a single mo ment, but at once launched their gallant barks anti set forward to the reseuewsifrappertapirtiplelltt - feta—instances, were successful iu saving all the crews. The Caister Beachmen, with their yawl, Storm, succeeded in saving the crew of the Elizabeth, of Scarborough, nine in number. The Menem Company, in their Yawl, the Red Rover, 38 tons, went off to the brig Jane, of Whitby, from which, although the yawl sustained considerable damage, they succeeded in rescuing the crew, nine in number. The Young Company, with their yawl, the Sailor's Friend, of 48 tons, succeeded, at very considerable risk, in taking off the crew of the brig Choice, of Newcastle, also nine In number. The Star Company, in their yawl, Phcenix, went off to the Ann, of Sunderland, from which, after splitting the stem and carrying away the mast of the yawl, they rescued and safely landed the crew of nine men. Having thus far been enabled to record the meritorious and suc cessful conduct of these gallant men, who, in Addition to the immi nent risk of their lives, have suffered considerably in the injury done to their property—for which no remuneration can be anticipated but from the benevolence of a British public, it remains to relate the me lancholy catastrophe which forms the climax to this statement. The Beachmen of the " Phcenix" having safely landed the crew of the " Ann," and being themselves much exhausted, a fresh' crew of the same Company re-manned the yawl, and immediately proceeded to another vessel lying in distress on the Scroby ; ,the wind was then blowing . a hurricane. On - nearing the vessel, they found the sea running over her, and made an unsuccessful attempt to reach her ; • failing to do so, they let go their anchor and veered down ; unfortu nately the force of the sea drove the yawl upon the brig and dashed her to pieces ; when the Beachmen—with the exception of one man (named Abraham Wetherell), who sank with the yawl—got on board the brig, which was now drifting, and every sea breaking with tre mendous violence over her bull. The accident being witnessedfrom the s,hcre several men belonging to the different Companies manned the life• boat and flew to their as sistance. The danger of all was extreme, and those on shore trembled alike for the poor fellows on the brig and those in the life-boat. Hap pily she reached the brig though too late for many, some of whom were carried overboard by the falling of the brig's masts, and some drowned on the wreck. Six only of the " Phcenix's crew were saved?; and of the brig's crew, who were in a stale of exhaustion when the " Phomix" first reached be r, the whole perished. Thus in the noble attempt to save the. lives of their fellow-men, seven of our gallant beachmen found ft watery grave, leaving behind them four widows and fourteen children (ten of whom are under twelve years of age) totally unprovided for, as well as the aged mothers of the three single men. Their na: es were Abraham Wetherell (leaving a widow and nine children), James Shreeve (widow and three children), Lanham (alias James) Billing (widow and two children), James Boulton (widow), William Warner, George Points; and James'George, single men, but upon whom their widowed mothers, or aged parents, depended for subsistence. To provide a fund to relieve the necessities of the bereaved—to re ward the noble fellows who so gallantly risked their lives for others— to assist in replacing the serious loss suffered by the boatmen—and to form a nucleus for a permanent fund for the relief of sufferers under similar calamities in future—is the object of the present appeal. Subscriptions will be received at the banks of Messrs. Barclay and Co., and Sir R. C. Glynn and Co., London ; and at any of the banking houses In Norfolk and Suffolk.

The preruinent advantages of this sy.tem of Atmospheric traction, are, that the continuous valve is dispensed with ; roads are crossed u on a level without interruption of main ; one atmospheric railway can be intersected by anothor, thus saving bridges, approaches, and leakage ; and a stationary engine every ten miles is sufficient. The system combines extreme simplicity with extreme efficiency, and that obtained with a small comparative expense in working and construction. It is estimated that a saving altogether upon the other plans of Atmospheric Railways (having the continuous valve) will be nearly 3,0001. per mile ; two mains or. lines can, on this plan, be laid down for little more than tria cost of one, upon the other plan. Increased safety is insured, also obstruction and destruction by weather and other sources are placed beyond probability by the mains being buried, Sze. The objects of the Company are to purchase the Patentee's right for the United Kingdom, to grant licences to Railway and Canal Companies to use the invention, or lay down the works under con tracts with the different Companies ; and, in the first:place, to pro cure an experimental line in the neightourhood of the metropolis, if found desirable. The source of income is unlimited, and the expenses, with the ex ception of the purchase of the Patents, and laying down the experi mental line, must necessarily be merely nominal. A Model, upon a scale of one inch to th r foot, may be seen at work on Wwinesdays and Thursdays, between twelve and three o'clock, at the company's offices, by application to the Secretary or Officers of the Company.

MOSES. and SON. - Dear Sirs,—ln reply to the verses you wrote, I have taken occasion to send you a note. .. I certainly think you have very good reason To be quite out of patience with Winter's long season. But, Gentlemen, much brighter days are at hand, When a beautiful Spring will encircle the laid. You asked me, you know, Messrs. MOSES and SON, To speak with the Winter, and this I have done. I inquired how long he intended to stay, And I said you were all in a terrible way. I told him that birds as ere all waiting to sing, And that you had prepared your new stock for the Spring. I explained that the dresses of MOSES and SON Could never be worn till the Winter is done. And when I had talked with the King for a while, I succeeded in making his Majesty smile ; And, Sirs, he assured me, before I had done, That bed not disappoint Messrs. MOSES and SON. From this I conclude that your opportune rhyme, Will produce its effect in a very short thaw. And now, in the hope that you'll long trade together, I remain, yours sincerely, THE " CLERK OF THE WEATHER."

HUNT'S APERIENT FAMILY PILLS; a most excellent Medicine for Billions Complaints, Disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, Habitual Costiveness, Indigestion, Heart burn, Pains and Giddiness of the Head, Influenza; Worms, Spasms, Nervous and Dropsical Complaints. For upwards of forty years have these Pills obtained the unquali fied approbation of the Public In general, among whom may be in cluded Families of Distinction and Medical Men. Their composition is so truly excellent, and their beneficial effects have been so widely experienced, that the Proprietors feel the greatest confidence in re commending them as one of the MILDEST and MOST EFFICIENT APERIENT FAMILY MEDICINE ever offered to the Public. These Pills require no confinement nor alteration of diet, and are adapted to every variety of age and constitution. They seldom operate until eight or ten hours after taken, and then gently. They restore the tone of the stomach, strengthen the digestive organs, cleanse the bowels of all impurities, and promote the due secretions of the liver and of the kidneys, and by invigorating the system ,ge;!erally, become an invaluable restorative of health to both sexes. Officers of the. Army and Navy will find these Pills an invaluable appendage to their Medicine Chests, as they retain their medicinal virtues in all climates. Ladies, even of the most delicate constitutions, will find these Pills particularly beneficial, both before and after their confinement.; nor can they be too highly recommended lbr the general use of schools. They are also an excellent preparatory iu the use sf medicinal waters, ' sea-bathing, &c. Prepared and sold by Messrs.

Cambridge to York has no plane so steep as lin 200, and only five short planes, whose united length amounts to tii- miles, steeper than 1 in 250 ; while for the greater part of its course it is practically level. Although the gradients of the London and York line are for moderate lengths, and have nothing in themselves that can be considered as objectionable, it us evident, that as compared with the extraordinarily good gradients of the Cambridge route, they detract from the advantage in respect of absolute distance. Recent experience has shown upon the Brighton Rail way, that a train may be worked regularly with safety and punettimlity at an average speed of 33 miles an hour. including stoppages ; and there is nothing upon any portion of the route between Loudon and York, by way of Cambridge, to prevent this or even a higher speed from being attained, at which rate the journey from London to York could be accomplished in six hours. Taking into account, therefore, en the one hand, the difference of absolute distance, and on the other the dif ference of gradients, and the advantage of the Cambridge route by the superior proximity of its terminus to the heart of the metropolis, we are of opinion that, for the purposes of through traffic between London and York, the merits of the two schemes may be considered as very evenly balanced. 't he re.ore important question remains to be considered of local accommodation for the eastern districts of Eng. land, now deprived of the benefits of - railway communi cation. - In ord'er to arrive at sound conclUsions upon this ques tion, we must consider the nature and rants of this dis trict. It is almost exclusively agricultural, being, in fact, the great corn and cattle producing district of England, from which food is sent, on the one hand, to the dense manufacturing population of Yorkshire and Lancashire, and, on the other, to London. From North Lincolnshire, Newark, East Retford, &c., the bulk of the produce finds its way (mostly by circuitous water conveyance) to the manufacturing districts, a great deal of it centering at the important corn mart of Wakefield. From South Lincolnshire, Stamford, Peterborough, Cam bridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, &c., the produce goes partly to the west and north, and partly to London by • sea from Boston, Spalding, and Lynn. The fat cattle and sheep of the whole district go principally to London. The whole district is destitute of coal, lime, building stone, &c., all which it draws from the west and north a (the Waleeneld, Barnsley, :Sheffield, Clay Cross, xton, &c., coal fields), or from the sea ports. General in( rchandise, colonial produce, &c., come principally from Landon and Hull. Timber, oil-cake, bones, guano, &c., from Hull and the shipping ports. It is clear, therfore, that the leading object is to con nest the chief towns and principal markets fur agricul tural produce with one another ; with London ; with the railways leading to the manufacturing districts ; and with the shipping ports. The chief towns and markets as we go north from London arc— Population. Cambridge 23,455 Peterborough Stamford Grantham 8,786 Newark 10,218 Lincoln 13,411 Doncaster 11,245 The principal shipping ports are— • Spalding Boston Gainsborough 6,948 in addition to Hull, Selby, and Goole, and to Lynn and Wisbeach, which, however, are rather connected with another system of railway communication. A reference to the map will show how these objects respectively are attained by the London and York, and Cambridge and Lincoln combinations. If we disregard for the present all considerations of expense, it may be considered that the London and York scheme, on the whole, presents a larger and more com prehensive system of communication. It runs a new trunk line from London to Peterborough, half way be tween the London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern, and thus accommodates a greater extent or country. Again, by the loop or second line from Peter borough, by way of Boston and Lincoln to Bawtry, com bined with the direct line, it traverses a greater extent of country, and places both the towns on the old North road, Grantham, Newark, and East Retford, and also Lincoln and Boston, in a continued line of communita tion, which no single line could do. Also, it comprises branches direct to Sheffield and Wakefield, which place it in a better position for competing with existing lines for the traffic of the manufacturing districts to London ; and, on the whole, having 327 miles of new railway, as compared with less than 200 by the opposite combina tion, it of course traverses a greater extent of country, and thus affords greater accommodation. On the othes hand, the Cambridge and Lincoln lino places Cambride (which is by far the most important town between London snd York) on the main line, and is, we think, a better licit line for South Lincolnshire, running through the hoar:. of the country, just skirting the fens in the line of the principal population, and at the heal of all the principal drains and navigable cuts, while the lines of the London and York scheme skirt it on each side, and run from Boston to Lincoln paral:el with an existing water communication. The question, however, cannot be considered prac tically without reference to considerations of expense. As an abstract proposition, it may be undeniable that it is desirahle to extend the benefits of rails ay commu nication to every village and hamlet in the kingdom ; but as a practical question, the probability of a sufficient return upon the requisite capital to enable the railway to support itself it, a state of solvency and efficiency, affording to the public the y benefits of good accommoda tion and moderate rates, must, under ordinary 6rcura stances, be looked upon as decisive of the question, whether a particular district can be considered to require a railway. A'so when very nearly the same objects are attained by two schemes, one of which is extremely expensive, while the other, although in a certain degree less com prehensive, is so much less costly that its promoters can afford to offer much greater advantages to the public generally than could be done by the other, it would ob viously be a sacrifice of the greater to the lesser objvct, to sanction the more expensive scheme, and thus impose a heavy additional tax upon the bulk of the traffic, for the sake of minor advantages. It is essential, therefore, that we should consider in some detail the probable cost of the two schemes be tween winch, as we have already stated, we consider the comparLon to lie. To begin with the London and York scheme. This scheme consists of the following parts : Bedford, and London and Bir mingham e . 16 31 125,000 Eastern Counties—Hertford and Biggleswade Branch Eastern Counties—Cambridge and Huntingdon Ely and Bedford Midland Railway—Syston to Peterborough Midland Railway—Nottingham to Lincoln 33 52 408,000 Newark and Sheffield 32 GO 500,000 Manchester and Sheffield, and Midland Junction (Sheffield to Chesterfield) l2 14 400,000 Sheffield and Lincolnshire 52 29 700,000 Rotherham, Bawtry, and Gains borough Great Grimsby and Sheffield GO 48 600,000 Bull and Gainsborough 29 72 370,000 Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole 30 73 365,000 Barnsley and Goole Goole, Doncaster, Sheffield, and Manchester York and North Midland and Goole Goole and Snaith 5 27 It will be seen from the above list, that the question upon which we have now to report involves the con struction of upwards of 1,200 miles of railway ; an amount not much less than that of the whole of the railways in the kingdom . already in existence, and the proposed investment of upwards of 20,000,000/. of capital. IVe have approached the subject with a full sense of its importance, and of the responsibility which is imposed upon us in expressing any opinion upon questions of such magnitude; ai,d we have now to report the conclusions at which we have arrived, after most anxious and delibe rate investigation. The leading objects which are proposed to be accom plished by the schemes under consideration may be classed under two heads, viz. :- Ist. To extend the benefits of railway communication to the large portion of England which lies intermediate between the London and Birmingham, and Northern and Eastern Railways, and to the east of the Midland and York, and North Midland Railways. 2d. To form a new trunk line from London to York end the north, by the east of England, more direct than the present circuitous route by Rugby and Derby. The former of these objccts appears to be decidedly thilrriant.' : 14 algrorcalikEß.4 . P.Clic e . ted rat ways cotland, we have alrea y state our reasons for ln-lievino - the., owing to the interruptisns occasioned by the Firths of Tay and Forth, the eastern line can never b :come the principal trunk line of communication between Scotland an 1 England. In the event of the Caledonian and Scottish Central lines being sanctioned by Parliamert, the traffic of Glasgow, and of the whole of the ro there, western, and central portions of Scot lend with England, would pass principally by , way of Carlisle and the western route; a nd if the rent or Churr.et Valley lines should be constructed, the distance even from Edinburgh to London would be almost as short by the western as by the shortest of the proposed eastern routes. The existing through traffic to London that would pass over a more direct London and York line, is stated not to amount to more than about 97,0001. a year ; and al though this amount may probably be increased by the opening of new lines between Newcastle and Edinburgh, yet, on the other hand, it must be remembered that a larger proportion of the existing Scotch traffic now comes up by way of Newcastle than can be expected to do so ultimately, when both the eastern and western lines of communication are completed. On the whale, therefore, we are not of opinion that the probable importance or amount of the through traffic between London and York would be sufficient to justify an expenditure of several millions for the sole object of shortening this communication by a few miles. At the same time we consider it obviously desirable, for na tional as well as for commercial purposes, that the whole railway communications of the metropolis with the northern portions of the kingdom should not depend upon a single trunk line ; and that, consequently, the opportunity should be embraced now which presents it self of obtaining a good second trunk line to the north, by a combination which, at the same time provides for the local and lateral communications of the eastern counties. These general considerations appear to us to be suffi cient to narrow the question considerably, by the ex clusion of two of the principal schemes which enter into competition. The Direct Northern, considered as an integral scheme between London and York, has been pro ,jected mainly with a view to the attainment of the shortest practicable route between the termini, to which oliect the local accommodation of the district traversed has been considered as secondary. Should Parliament be of opinion that the construction of the most direct line be tween London and York ought to be considered as a paramount object, the integral scheme of the Direct Northern would deserve a preference. It reduces the distance to 1761 miles, being 42 miles shorter than by the existing route, and 91 miles shorter than by the proposed London and York line. But for the reasons already stated, we do not consider that a slight saving of dis tance between London and York would be a sufficient compensation for neglecting the local accommodation of the intermediate districts ; nor do we think that it would justify the outlay of capital requisite for the con struction of such a trunk line as the Direct Northern. On the other hand, the scheme of the Midland Rail way Company from Swinton by Lincoln, Boston, Spald ing, and Wisbcach, to March, is open to the opposite objection, that it entirely sacrifices the object of attain ing a tolerably good second line of communication from London northwards. As part of a trunk line to York, it is obviously inadmissible, since it would make the dis tance as circuitous as by the existing route by way of Rugby, while, as a mere local line, although in itself it might be useful, it is too long and expensive, and com petes too much with any possible trunk line through the same district, to be allowed to stand independently. An inspection of the map will be sufficient to show that its extension is altogether incompatible with that of the Cambridge and Lincoln line, to which it would be a di rectly competing line for the greater part of its course, while, as compared with the London and York scheme, it would merely be an expensive substitute for the " loop" or second line of that scheme, which diverges at Peterborough and joins the main line again at Lincoln. Even apart from other schemes, and considered merely with reference to local purposes, this scheme also, although in some respects it would be advantageous, would obviously be insufficient, since it merely skirts the coast from Boston southwards, and affords no ac commodation to the important agricultural districts of the interior. We shall at once assume, therefore, that the question may be narrowed by the exclusion of the Midland scheme, and of the Direct Northern, considered as an integral ;clietne, and that the comparison rests between the Lon don and York, and the Cambridge and Lincoln, in con. flexion with some scheme for completing the communi cation from Lincoln to York ; those two schemes alone complying with what we consider to be the indispen sable requisite of uniting the two objects of promoting local accommodation, and of affording a good trunk line. As regards the latter object, we are of opinion that the merits of the two schemes are very equally balanced and that either would afford a very good trunk line be. tween London and York. The distance from London to York, by the London and York scheme, is 186 miles ; by the Cambridge and Lincoln (in connexion with the northern portion of the Direct Northern, and with the Tottenham and Farringclon-street Extension, which is proposed as part of thin, combination), it would be 1951 miles ; the difference in favour of the London and York beitig 9i- But 011 the one hand, the gradients of Miles..

Total 327 4- The estimated capital required for the construe:ion of this railway is 6,500,0001., or at the average rate of 20,0001. per mile. The extreme improbability of the, line being constructed for anything like this estimate must be apparent. It is true that a great part of the line tiaverses a country where nature presents few ob stacles to the construction of railways. The loop of 86 miles through the level parts of Lincolnshire, and along the bank of the Witham Navigation, runs nearly on the surface, and considerable portions of the main line are also of an easy character. Other portions, however, are of a very difficult and expensive character ; as, for in stance, the line fur some distance north of London, th 3 Sheffield Branch, and a portion of the Doncaster and Wakefield Branch. On the whole, the scheme has 64 miles, or 11,771 yards of tunnelling, 2,677 yards of viaduct, and about 69 miles of which the earth-works are very heavy and decidedly above an average. The comparison of the first 112 miles of the London and York tine out of London to Grantham, with the 112 miles of the London and Birmingham Railway, is sttaed, in a document officially submitted to us, and which the parties state that they are prepnred to bear out by cvi• deuce before Parliament, to show the following results : London and Birmingham Railway-112 miles. Earth .work 11,000,000 cubic yards. Tunnels 4-- miles. Longest viaduct Ditto, greatest height London and York Railway-11 2 miles. Earth•worl• 13,000,000 cubic 3:lrds. Tunnels 4l miles. Longest viaduct Ditto, greatest height B9 „ We have not been in a position to test the accuracy of all the details of this statement ; but it appears sufli ciently established that there is no such decided diffe rence in the nature of the worki upon the two lines as would currant us in assuming, owing to this cause alone, an entirely different rate of cost of construction. It is true, that since the time when the London and Birmingham Railway was made, a much greater degree of economy has been introduced in the construction of railways. A great part of this economy, however, has obviously resulted from temporary causes, which are no lorgcr in operation. For instance, the price of iron rails, which, at the time when the estimates for most of the railways now proposed were framed, did not exceed 61. or 71. per ton, has since risen to nearly double that amount; and from the extraordinary demand that must exist for the next four or five years, from the sinaulta nenus construction of so many thousands of miles of new railway, both in this and in other countries, it is evident that, notwithstanding the increase that may be antici. pated in the poaers of production, it is impossible to calculate upon a lower pike of rails than prevailed while the London and Birmingham Rail aay was in course of construction. The increase of price during the last six months, upon the artie.e of iron alone, would swell the estimate of eest for the 327 miles of the London and York Railway, by an amount not less than 500,0001. The rise in the price of almost every description of labour applicable to the construction of railways, dur ing the last six or eight months, has also been con siderably, and where, as in the present instance, im mense works would have to be completed within a short period by the collection of lage masses of the class of men known by t he appellation of " navigators," it can hardly be expected that the cost of common earth work will be much below what prevailed during the period from 1536 to 1839. In remote localities, where the additional demand for labour is less felt, or where ,)7( READY MADE, NINETY-SECOND SALE CUSTOM-HOUSE, London, 27th March, 1845.

Rob son and liigham, the patentees, situate on the north side of the Commercial-road, Limehouse, immediately adja cent to the Regent's canal. The factory in question formed a portion of the right wing of some Lirge works that were built several years since, but which have been apportioned off for the manu facture of various articles. Its walls were brick, with an iron roof, covered with slates, and was not morn than 36 feet in length, and about 29 in breadth, and one story in height. The interior was divided into five compart ments, viz., the store, case, machine, boiler, and stuffing rooms, the divisions being composed of wood and iron , all of which contained a good stock of the artic'es re quired in the formation of the lights and signal rockets, the more dangerous part of the combustibles being kept in a small adjacent outhouse. Employed in tho several portions of the factory were Jas. Terry, John Chesterman, Henry Harris, Henry Jones, and a boy, and a little girl, known by the name of Charlette, about thirteen years of age. The latter is said to have been engaged in the store-room, in which was a stove alight for the drying of the cases, &c., la belling the lights, and, as she was about to remove a quantity of them off a shelf, she accidentally pulled the shelf down, and ono of the lights falling against the stove its instant ignition was the result. Quick as light ning were the stock of them, including a small portion of rockets, which were stowed on some shelves round the south and east end of the building fired, producing the most fearful explosions. The massive iron roofing was et the onset torn asunder, and, by the following shocks all that remained was scattered in various directions. Of the interior everything that had been erected in the shape of machines, divisions, &c., were blown, compara tively speaking, to pieces, and how it was that the prin cipal portion of the human beings employed therein were saved appears to be almost a miracle. Terry, Chesterman, and Harris saved their lives, but how or in what way they could not state. When the fire was got under, Smith, the engineer of the Schsol-house-lane engine station, immediately com menced searching for the remains of the unhappy crea tures, and on going about the centre of the factory, he found the body of the lad, not so much burned as might ha anticipated, although the clothes were, to a great ex tent, consumed. Having removed it to a neighbouring carpenter's workshop, an active search was then insti tuted for that of little girl, and, after much trouble in turning over the blackened rubbish, heavy irons, and other ponderous materials, what was left of the body was dragged forth, a shocking spectacle, from that part of the manufactory used as the boiler rooms. All the fissh was literally burned off, and the young creature had evidently been blown with much force to the spot where she was found—the extreme end of the building—her death, no doubt, taking place almost instantaneously. DEATH or . MR. W. •BARRYMORE.—The above named gentleman, well known as the celebrated panto mime author and stage-manager, died at Boston, in America, on the 16th of February. DREADFUL ACCIDI3NT.—On Saturday considera ble alarm was created in Tooley-street, Southwark, in consequence of the issue of a dense smoke from the house No. 12, in Fox.court. Au instant cry of fire was raised, when a female, about 26 years of age, who occu pied the second floor, on seeing the smoke ascending the staircase, and thinking that all escape was cut off, pre cipitated herself from the second-floor back window, and fell with fearful violent , * on the store pavement beneath. Several persons hastened to her assistance, when they found that the poor creature was unable to walk. They immediately took her to f;ny's Hospital, when it was ascertained she had received such severe injuries that very little hopes are entertain 'd of her recovery. The cause of so much alarm arose from the fact of a quantity of straw in a cupboard on the first-floor lauding talc:rig fire.
