DEATH OF MR. H. L. PEAKE. —MT. Henry
Loyalts Peake, who about three weeks since was promoted
from muter shipwright at Deptford to be master ship-
wright at Sheerness Dockyard, ezp4red on Thursday, at his
lale official residence in Deptford Dockyard. The deceased
was very generally respected both by officers and men in the
service.

THE LATE MADAME At:RD:lL—in our town
edition of last week we announced the premature de-
cease, immediately after her confinement, of Madame
Auriol, daughter of the celebrated French clown of that
name, and who was the widow of our own famous pan-
tomimist, the late lamented Richard Plernicire. Some
time after his death she married again, her second husband
being her cousin, bearing the same name as herself.
It was her intention to have &sainted the aged mother of
her first husband, but Providence has ordained that she
should be taken first ; whilst Mrs. Flexmore, eta very ad-
vanced age, still lingers on the earth, deprived by death of
those who would so affectionately have smoothed the pillow
of declining age. Madame Flexmore•Auriol will be re-
membered by the public as a graceful dassaeuse at the
Prinares's and at Drury-l►ne Theatres, and by the mealy who
knew her in private life as a lady of may most estimable qua-
lities. By these her untimely death will be greatly regretted.
The bereaved' father, the popular favourite of Paris, is in
his sixty-fifth year, likely to be again compelled through
necessity to resume his vocation, but all will hope that
the severe shock which he has experienced will plead on
hie behalf, and render such a painful resumption of the
motley garb unnecessary during the few remaining years
of his life.—Era.

SINOULAR HYSTERICAL PA.NIC AMONG FACTORY
GIRLS,—About 320 factory girls and women are employed
in sewing is the large cellar schoolroom under Dr. Mnoro's
chapel, Grosvenor-square ; and it appears that one or two
of the unfortunate girls are subject to some kind of fits,
most probably epileptic. Yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, everything connected with the sewing wu proceed-
ing in the usual satisfactory manner, when suddenly one of
the girls subject to them was prostrated. by • fit. There eras
considerable alarm created in the school by this circum-
stance, and almost instantly another girl wu attacked by
what the superintendent believes was hysteria, and then
another and another, until quite a panic prevailed, alto-
gether nineteen of the girls becoming affected io less than
an hour. We may add that the schoolroom ill well venti-
lated, and could not have been overcrowded, since it is
capable of holding 700 acholars.—Manchester Examiner.
WORCESTER GREAT ANNVAL FAIR.—WORCESTER,
Sem 10. —This was the great annual fair held at Worcester
for the sale of hops, cheese, cattle, sheep, and horses. At
the fair last year there were 2,00 d pockets of new Worces-
ter hops pitched, but to show the failure in the crop in this
district this year we have only to state that not a single
pocket of new Worcester hops was offered, and only • few of
last year's produce. There was, however, a, good supply of
samples from Kent and Sussex, and • great many London
dealers were in the market., but purchasers were not **Laying
to any large extent. Kent and Sussex hops of this year's
growth fetched from 110 e. to lies. per cwt., and old hope
low as 40s. • Worcester, 1857, are offered at 31. to 41, 4s.
per cwt. Cheese was in small supply, • good deal
of the trade being now done at the dairy,
and little of the bulk is brought to market.
Prices low. Best 60s. per cwt., and skim cheap.
The cattle fair was well supplied with stock of all kinr.L.
Mdch cows and their calves were offered freely, and rather
lower. Fat beef, 61d. to 71 per lb. There were between
5,000 and 6.000 sheep and lambs in the market. The ma,
gistrate had issued a caution against any infected sheep
being brought to the fair, and a sharp look out was kept
by the officials. Wether mutton was worth 70., and ewe
7d. per lb. ; lamb, 74d. to 13d. per lb. Pigs were in short
supply and dear. Young porkers were in request, at en-
hanced rates. Horses were in good stock, but almost ex-
clusively of the class required for agricultural pursues.
High prices were demanded and realised. There were many
hundreds of sheep and cattle sold by auction; • practice
found to be remunerative to the owners. As usual, the
pleasure fair was held in the streets, and caused much con-
fusion in the evening.

to 1,5041. • 00 the North-Eastern to 2541. ; and on the
South Eastern to 4,1411.—t0ta1, 35,1041. But from this

Southern and Weetern ; 3.3971. on the Lasteshire sad
Yorkshire ; 516/. on the Manchester, Sheffield, anti Lie-
coloshire ; together 4,3741., leaving the increase, as

spondiog week of last year, on 3,237 miles, to 116,7611.,
showing en increase of 78 mike, snit of 14,0411. in the
receipts. The incree e in the traffic of the peat week,
as compared with the corresponding period of 1861,
arises chiefly from the passenger traffic to the Lateran/Antal
Exhibition. The traffic receipts of the past week elbow •
dent ease of 13,425/. OA compared with those of the preeediag
week, mediae the 6th inst.
