daughter was married the other day, has just met with
her death in a most extraordinary manner. She was
gathering Bowers in her garden, when she felt herself
bitten by • fly. She thought nothing of the slight punc-
ture, but in the evening her face began to swell, and •
few days afterwards she died in intense agony. It is
supposed that the fly must have fed upon putrid flesh.

FRIGHTFUL ACOIDIRT.—NOTTIROHAM, NOV, 11.—A
shocking soaident mcourred this morning, In Talbot.
street, Nottingham, which has /lady rerylled in the
death of one, and the lovers injury of seversl other per-
sons. For sums time past workuien have bees employed
in excavating rook in this part of the town, for the pun-
pose of making coach-houses, and the buildinry being
erected the supports were this morning nmoved, Dor•
ing the absence of the workmen at dinner to day, a film-
her of boys went inside the building for the purpose of
clearing the sand out, for which privilege they have
been in the habit of paying a small acknowledgement.
While so employed, the whole mau of buildings give
way, and the unfortunate youths were buried in the
ruins. AlitillieJ2oll was immediately at hand, and every
effort made to release the unfortunate sufferers. The
body of one of the boys was dug out, and presented a
frightful spectacle, his brains literally oovering his facie.
It is needless to say he was quite dead; and up to the
Present time has not been identified. Two other bop
were shortly afterwards eztrioeled ; their names ere
Thomas Armstrong, aired twelve years ; and John Fynn,
aged thirteen; both of whom were shockingly bruised,
and were immediately conveyed to the General Hospi-
tal. An inquest wee held upon the body on Tuesday
last, before Mr. Coroner Brown. Sines the above was
written another body has been dug out, frightfully man-
gled, and quite dead.

THE STATION-MASTia AND TIIN STRANGER.--80M0
time ago a young gentleman, evidently • foreigner, and
who, we believe, had been studying farming in East
Lothian, called at the station of the North British Rail-
way here, making inquiries about the prim of • third-
alms ticket to Hull. On being told that there wee no
third.class by the evening train to Hall he seemed em.
barn/seed. After a good deal of hesitation he informed
the station.master, Mr. James Bruce, that it was of
great importance to him to get on by the in 4 train, but
that unfortunately • remittance of money which he had
expected had not come to hand. and he was unable to
pay for • anoond.olass ticket. Mr. Bruoe, seeing, no doubt'
at a gleam, the sterling honest man written in the fano
of the youth, at once offered to pay kis fare to York,
and if be required any more money fogies it hlin. This
offer, was, of course, rtatefully accepted, and the
stranger went on his way. Charming simplicity of
Mr. Bruce, some people will exclaim. However, in the
course of a post or two a letter was rehired from Hull,
enclosing the money lent, and gratefully thanking Mr.
Bruce. No the affair is ended, thought be, and so
most would think, But not so. Some few clays ago a
rather stranms•looking packet was delivered by the post-
maa to Mr. Bruce, which, on being opened disalosed to
his astonished view an elegant silver sop, with a suitable
inaription ORIDAVINI upon it, as a token of • Nor.

lions agreed to at the St. James's•hall, 00th,. 18th ult.,
protesting against the confessional and other innovationa
in the church of England, and also to adopt a petition
to Parliament ; the Rev. Mr. Howarth, the motor, in the
chair. The Hon. C. FL Vereker moved the adoption of
a petition to the House of Commons, setting forth that
suet:oiler cionfeealon and priestly absolution, together
with sundry other dangerous Innovations, are practised
and taught by the clergy of the church of England, and
countenanced by mina of its bishops ; and believing
044 dootrines and practices to ho at variant* with the
spirit end teaching of the reformed church of England
and the Scriptures, the petitioners prayed that the House
would address her Majesty for such injunctions to be
given as shall stop Shoo innovations, and scours the uni-
formity and simplicity of the church. Having defended
at some length the right of the vestry to treat this sub-
ject, he said the question was • constitutional as much
as • theological one, fo: the Queen only maintained her
seat on the throne bemuse of her ancient protestant
descent; and he maintained that no one who denied the
royal supremacy, as the tract/471mm did, could be loyal
subjects. In reference to the moral view of the question,
auricular confession, Hallowed Co spread, among females
in particular, would tap the very foundation of moral
propriety. The speaker then went at some length bito
the rise and spread of the doctrine of confession in the
church, and concluded by calling on the meeting to aid
in putting a Mop to it. 11r. Bartolacci esomidecf the mo-
tion, and, after some dismission, Mr. Peel moved, and
Mr. Lyon wended, en amendment to the effect that,
while sympathising with the petition, the meeting did
not consider theological discussion to lie within the
sphere of the vestry's duties, Sir J. alteUy, M.P., sup-
ported the original motion. On a division only els hands
appeared for the auiendment, with SO against it. The
original motion was than put and carried by 43 to 2,

of taking out some taw te be applied to a cow's
horn that had been sloughed. As she was reaching the
tow there fell from one of the shelves a loaded pistol,
which, on striking the ground, exploded, and the eon'
tents were discharged into her leg. They entered at the
lower part of the mit, i
innul, palming upwards, shattered
both bongo of time limb to uerable splinters. The
unfortunate woman,. with great presence pi mind, bound
crhandkerehief round the wound to check the effusion
of blood, and despatched a messenger to Preston for cur.
gioal assistance. Mr. Mahlon hastened to her relief, and
found that amputation was necessary. With the aid of
Dr. Black, surgeon of the Fulwood Barracks, and Mr.
Rigby and Mr. Smith, surgeons, cf Preston, the painful
operation was performed. But Mrs. Shaw never re-
covered the shook her system had sustained, and gradu-
ally sunk until I o'clock on Wednesday morning, when
she expired, her end being perhaps hastened by the
-*II:0041V° grief she must have felt, as she was to have
been married on Thursday, the day on which the inquest
was held upon her remains. The pistol which caused
this deplorable calamity was placed in the cupboard,
loaded and capped by one of the farm servants, on the
night of the sth inst., when he had been firing it. The

Mr. Skiers, of Greenhill, has made a prutiee for some

a large bonfire near his house at Greenhill, and inviting
a number of his workpeople from the mill to assist in
firing off two cannons and letting off some fireworks. For

which axperionoe might show to be practinhisi. This

would from the irst Meld' them into contending
nations. It will be sat from these views that we
cannot aprove of the course taken by • body of Reformat
in London, who have requested Mr. Bright, Ml'. to
draw up a Reform Bill and to bring it forward in th•
Howe of Commons. Mr. Bright, who htil previously
ozonised himself favourable to the preparation of •
Bill has acoepted the trust confided to him. If w•
rightly understand the proceedings, Mr. Bright was
invitod, and has uodertaken to prepare a measure
foundod on the programme of the London "
mentary Reform Association," of which one of the pointa
is hounhold suffrage, or rather rating suffrage, %birth
la more extensive than household, inasmuch aa it would
admit lodgers to vote. N. does not hind himself to all
the details of the programme' but he seems to us to
adopt its general principles. Our belief is, that this
programme would only receive the adhesion of • small
minority of Reformers iu the House of Commons ; and
though it might obtain very considerable support among
the noa-electors, and even among the electors of our
large towns, it woyld not be approved of by a great
number of sinters and enlightened Reformers, and
would therefore be the means of dividing the party,
and at an election giving a majority of votes to the
Conservatives. If we are asked whether we would
recommend the Reformers to maintain silence at this
oriels, we reply, by no means. We think it their duty
to manifest the interest which they feel in the 041110 of
reform by the usual method of meetings and petitions.

BIIIIRATIOR TO TIC BRITIAN Coiolqiis. A
orowded meeting of the British Workmen's Emigration
Society took place on Monday (yesterday) week at
the tnion Hall, Commemial-road, E., for the purpose
of explaining the °bloat+ of the society and raiaing
funds in its behalf—the Rev. 0. T. Hill in the chair
The chairman said the presenee of so many of the
working dames showed they were taking an interest is
the movement. He saw before him men of intelligence,
who toiled bard, and who, he was sorry to say, did See
get their share of the produce of thp land. He wao
grieved to Nee the misery and distress arvund him, arid
so many of the working classes standing outside
dock walls looking at each other, and reading in each
other's countenance nothing but misery and want, He
believed that this society was calculated to improve the
position of many working wee, and that it was deserving
of Pupped. Mr. A. F. Ridgeway, in moving the Arai
resolution, said lie was an advocate for emigration, and
dwelt at some length upon the Advantages to be derived
by emigrating to the province of Auckland, where they
could have a free grant of 40 acres of land by paying
their passage ont, which was L'lB. Work Wee plClaged
and wages were very good in that colony; • man on di
roads could earn 51. a day, and others Be. and 10e. a dry.
He hoped the Rev. Mr. Champneys end the Rev. Mr.
Hill would do all they could to mist the men in the
east of London to emigrate. The secretary informed the
meeting that the society had &united 94 persona during
the last Biz months to emigrate to the colonies through the
wham* of the Rev. Mr. Champneys and others ;
they were in want of funds to enable them to send
another draught of men next month. Several other
speakers addressed the meeting on the advantages of
emigration, both to those who were sent out and those
who remained at home.
