THE GENERAL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY'S
last new steam ship, the Ravinsbourne, with sleeping ao-
commodation for 100 persons, has been placed upon the
Antwerp station during the past month, and has, during
that period, made the quickest passages between the two
cities. She left Antwerp at 2.26 p.m., on Sunday last,
and notwithstanding that she made several stoppages, at
Flushing, itc, she arrived at the St. Katharine's wharf at
6.6 yesterday morning, after a passage of 141 hours.
THE ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL STEAM PACKET
COMPANY purpose making Jams es their chief coaling de-
pilt abroad, instead of the pretest one, St. Thomas, because ,
larger quantities of coal can be stored, and greater facilities'
exist for coaling steamers at the forrnfr island than at the
latter. The large stamen will, therefore, run between
Southampton and Jamaica. This arrangement in committee
with the branch line of steamers whi. h the West India
Company sr: about to put on between Jamaica, Savannah,
and Cbagree, will be of very considerable benefit to
Jamaica.
THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT LIVERPOOL
COMM ElCNlANOL—Yesterday the adjourned inquest on
the sufferers by the disaster at the above building was rip
sumod, and, after a great deal of evidence had been ad-
dined, ttiory came to the conclusion that the two deceased
psressie died, one item the effect of injuries received
at the sesident, and the other from suffocation, being and-
daily ba,ied under the ruins. They then proceeded to an
inquiry into the important fact whether the accident wee
the result of negligence on the part of any one, and, If so,
to whom that negagence was attributable. The inquiry is
repeated to 1•4 for several days.
Tliit PEEL TESTIMONIAL.—The bronze statue, of
colossal proportion., to be erected at Leeds as a testimonial
the late Sir Robert Peel, has been cast at the foundry of
Mr. F. Robinson, of Pimlico, with perfect sawees. We
had the opportunity of seeing it prior to its removal. and I
we consider it • very fine work, massive sad dignified se a
whole, and Outbid in its details. We believe this is the
first attempt made in England to emit a large work in owe
entire piece ; but the metal has come out of the mould with
• clear and an'sroken surface, as much so as if the statue,
had been oast in fragment. Mr. Robinson is yeering the
mould of Mr. Baily's status of theme's distiorpted nal-
eldest, intsieded for another Jerctiak
ASSAULT ST A FISH.—The Paris Tribunal of uor-
rectional Police is frequently called upon to award damages
for injuries inflicted by dogs and other animals, for which
the owners ere civilly responsible, but it is rather a novel
thing for it to be celled on to do so in the case of a ash.
Su-h, however, was the case on Saturday, when a dealer in
shellfish at the fish-market was summoned by • Madams
Orebuchet, who claimed 30 fr. damages for the injury
caused to her nose by one of the defendant's lobsters. The
plaintiff, 'Leong to regale her husband with • tit bit for
his dinner, went to the market, and was bargaining fur •
lobster, which she took up in her hand, but threw it down
again, saying it was not fresh. The dealer protested that it
was alive, hut Mad. Grebuchet asserted the contrary, and that
it even stunk. To satisfy herself that each wa. the case, she
a second time applied her nose to it, when the lobster, as if
in defence of its owner's veracity, seised hold of Madame
Orebuchet's nose with its claw, and held it fast. Illss
sertained for assistance, bat, instead of Immediately ren-
dering it, the dealer and her companions around bunt out
late a laugh, and it was some little time beton the nom
of he lady could be released. The fisherman in her des
Peace maiztained that she was not to blame, and that the
mischief wes solely caused by the imprudence of Madame
Orebuchet, ih applying her nee' so aloes to the lobster'.
claw, when she.had been told that it as alive; and the
Tribunal taking the Pam view of the ewe, the complaint
was dismissed, and be plaietill ordered te pay the ousts.
