CUIPPIKNIUM. Melancholy Boat Accident.
Quite • gloom has beau oast over the little town of
Chippenham by the oocurreeoe of an accident
which resulted in the death of a young gentleman,
named West Awdry, the son of ?dr. Awdry, soli-
citor, and under-sheriff of the county, and a young
lady, named Loder, whose family had been resi-
dents of the town. On Tuesday evening Mr.
Awdry proposed a row on the Avon, and Miss
Loder, who was seventeen years of age, and her ,
sister, aged nineteen, consented to accompany him.
About nine o'clock, by some mishap, the boat cap-
sized, and ail three of its occupants were preeipi-
tated into the water. Mr. Awdry and the younger
of the sisters were drowned, hut the elder sister
was happily rescued. An immediate alarm was
given, and after a search of about an hour the
bodies were recovered.

Two Steotos To Hem Bow. —A young couple lately
left Marippri, where they reside, and went to Cross-
canonby, di order to get married. After the ceremony
they went to the house of the brides mother. There
the married pair toned a young chap seated, and the
fair one, stepping up to him, and placing her hand
upon his shoulder, said, "This is the chap that I
should have married !" 'The astonished bridegroom
demanded an explanation, which, however, was re-
fused, and the newly-wedded couple parted that night
highly incensed against each other. Two days after-
wards the husband tient the bellman round the town,
informing all whom it might concern that be would
not be responsible for the debts of his forty-eight
hours' bride.
During Wednesday night and Thursday morning, no
less than nine fires broke out in various parts of the
metropolis. Most of them were subdued without their
doing very extensive damage, but in Pimlico a house
was burnt down and the inmates, of which there was a
hoe number, were with very great difficulty rescued.
CRYSTAL PALACIL—On Thuniday about 150 boys
from the vessels of war at Sheerness and Chatham,
were present to witness the performances of 11.
Blondin, who, in cousecluence of the boisterous weather,
walked on the rope inside the Palace instead of on the
Terrace. The boys (who were accompanied by Captain
W. G. Imard, flag captain to the commander-in-chief at
the Nore, Lieutenant St. Vincent, and other officers)
were evidently delighted with the performances of
Blondin. They were afterwards regaled with a sub-
stantial dinner, in which the much-priced adjunct of
plam-pudding was included. The admissions on pay-
ment were 13,936; by season tickets, 1,82 6; total,
it' 762.
Is THE NADIR OF CONSCILICZ, IT IS MOST WON-
DERFUL I— Hers is the greatest marvel we have met
with in print for a very long time:—" The Chancellor
of the Exchequer acknowledges the receipt of bank-
notes to the amount of £9O, on account of income tan
from • Two Lawyers." We have always been told
what an insurmountable difficulty it was to get any
money out of • lawyer, but here is not only one, but
actually two lawyer', voluntarily (end that constitutes
the greatest part of the wonder) parting with money !
Of course, it wasn't their own. The fact, however, is
so far pleasing (if anything can be pleasing in connec-
tion with the law or lawyers), as it now satisfactorily
settles beyond all cavil the long-disputed point of
" Whether a lawyer has a conscience or not?" We
are only afraid that theme "Two Lawyers" (who have
only just escaped immortality, the rogues, by not pub-
lishing their names) must have been terribly uneasy in
their consciences to have parted with so large a sum of
money as eflO! They must have had many sleepless
nights before they came to the resolution of parting
with it. What hideous crime, or crimes, have they
jointly coannitted.—Pandi.
A NEST IN A CMURCIL—A Oast 01 young sparrows
were recently hatched in the parish church of Inner-
leithem, Scotland. In the windows of this edifice are
ventilators, which are always left open at this season,
and through there the parents were able to go out and
in undisturbed. The place chosen was the top of one of
the pillars supporting the gallery, where two cross
beams meet, forming • cavity seaman that it is impossible
for an adult to introduee one of his hands. It
happened that the Communion Sunday (the 23rd
ultimo) occurred shortly before the birds were fully
fledged, and during all the diets of worship connected
with that soletnn occasion the female parent was seen to
make frequent visits with food to the nest, though
apnarently by no melt= at ease at witneusing so large
an assembly in such close proximity to her young brood.
They are now safely winged.
A CHILD EATEN NY WATISR RATS.—On Wednesday
morning a bargeman, at Paddington Basin, named
Pop, discovered floating by the bank of the Grand
Junction Canal, opposite Irongate Wharf, the mutilated
remains of a female child, either newly born or a few
months old, consisting of the two legs, the lower portion
of the body, nearly to the waist, bearing visible marks
of the teeth of very small animals, and bones of other
parts of the body eonveyed the impression that the
deeeiued had been thus mutilated by rats. The
