SHOCK'S° OCCURRENCE—LOMB Or THREE Lit at.
—le the midst of the storm which swept over the country,
a fatal accident took place on Friday night, or Saturday
morning in Shropshire. This was at the Tibbertoo Paper
Mills, near Newport. which are the property of Mr. Mar-
tin Billing, of Bingham, sad era worked by him. There
are two chimney stacks, one of which has been recently
built, and is square, 120 feet in height ; there are several
cottages close by it. within some fifteen yards. In the
midst of the storm, and in the dead of the night,
some sixty feet of this chimney was snapped off,
and descended with a frightful crash on to the
cottages. A man and his wife wore killed in their beds
upon the instant. There were five children and their pa.
roots sleeping in an adjoining cottage : ors of the children
was killed ; that the others should have escaped is almost
miracle. The cottages were destroyed at a blow, the in-
mates forced from their beds, sod in other respects the de-
'traction was very great. Mr. Billing himself was sleeping in a
cottage class by, lout the mass of building which fell did not
reach it. The occurrence has created much excitement in
the district, sad being within a abort distance of the famous
Lelleshall Ironworks. a great number of persons have visited
the scene of the disaster.
THE EASTERN Ftsaaatia.—The Great Yarmouth
boats' have now needy all "made up" for the seasoo, the
barring voyage being at an end. The deliveries made daring
the last fewdays have come upon an already glutted mar-
ket, sod prices have consequently been low. The voyage
must have been a prosperous oue for the crews employed,
but not equilly so for their owners, who have worked their
boats by the last, as although the deliveries have been very
large. the quality of the fish taken has bees inferior, and
prices have consequently been low. From Lowestoft it is
stated that a few of the larger boats have not yet " made
up," and they must have had a rough time of it on Friday,
Ss=, and Sunday. Taken as a whole, the voyage is
i as remunerative.
COAL AND IZON WORKS IN EllNBlA.—within
the last two mouths a number of men have left the Dov-
ish and Rbymney Ironworks for Russia. A mintiernan con-
nected with the government of that country time over and
selected some of the best workmen connected with these
worka, sad the wsges agreed to be paid totbern were from
121. to 201. per month, being double and treble the money
they eared in Wales. It appears that large ironworks are
about to be started in Rum* and, as meantime and iron-
making are comparatively nehmen, am far-mein Mimeo-
vitas no doubt thought it would% well to have some prac-
tical men from this counts.' Ow of the party is expected
to raters sheetty„. it having been determined to secure the
services of a few Welsh colliers es well.
