SALE OF ROYAL YEARLINGS.

The counter attractions of the Paria meeting on
the following day, for which the edict of the taping world
had taken their departure, reduced the attendance at the
sale of her Majesty's yearlings on Saturday very consider-
ably. Mr. Coombe, of the Greyhound Hotel, had been or-
dered to prepare lunch for 500 people, but not nearly that
number partook of the royal hospitality ; indeed, the whole
of the spectators poloist scarcely mended 500. From this
mum, with the exception of those hones previotudy
selected, on account of their appearance or breeding, the
competition for the several lots was not very spirited, and
three of Mr. Greville's young ones remained not a
bidding being made for them, although one of the a
filly by Yellow Jack, was as finely grown and ea well bred
as some which fetched high pion The Earl of Stamford,
the Marquis of Harting., the Duke of St. Albans
(through ins trainer, Mr. Woolootti, Mr. Naylor, Mr.
Padwick, and Mr. Henry were the chief punbasen, many
of the other name set down in the bat being assumed
for the occmion. The Stockwell colt—Bay Celia at-
traded the most general Wenn°, but did not command
the Wilmot price, which was reached by a con of New-
minster and Equation, for which the Duke of St. Alba=
and the Pali of Stamford quickly ran up the high prim of
720 guineas. This sum, however, ham often hew ex-
ceeded at the royal sales, and, judging from •P
is so more than hie value. The biddinga for theC=att
loran which acme next in cost, were cool/nod to Lord
Stamford and Mr. Charier, the general opinion among the
trainers being that he bas too heavy • frame to rem But
as his legs look like wearing, and Imam himself was only
&Saint in this mend, the high condos formed of him by
Lord Stamford is not unlikely to be realised. The Voltigeor
oolt, selected by Wooloott for the Duke of St. Albans,
though somewhat small, looks like racing and staying, and
took our fancy as much se &sphinx in the sale. The tike
are • very level lot ; of course they did not, from their sex,
attract the same attention as the colts Mr. Greville's
yearlings are all small, and on that aceonet were not re-
garded with much attention by the trainers, who know the
value of sin.

Duero or Ma. F. WAKIIIILD SKIT, M.R.C.S.
—The membees of the Royal Artillery Company, of which
ancient corps he was honorary sorgeon, and the medical
profession will regret to hear of the sodden death of the
above estimable and talented gentleman, who expired

at the early age of 3L The deceased was the

fission at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, wider the auspices

On the completion of his professional education he became •
member of the College of Surgeons, and was goon after
elected house-surgeon to his hospital, the duties of which

lag the appointment, the thanks of the treasurer and gover-
nors for his great kindneas and professional care of the poor
patients confided to his care. By the death of Mr. Stay
a yummy is created on the staff of the Royal Artillery
Company.
Mrartuttotra DEATH IN Livituroox..—The Liver-
pool borough coroner held an investigation on Saturday into
the circumstances attending the death of Sarah Dive'', the
wife of • labouring man residing in Roper-street, who was
found with her throat cut, and dead, in the room which she
and her husband inhabited. The authorities are not
satisfied with the explanation which the husband gives
relative to the woman destroying Nevelt, as the knife with
which the deed was perpetrated was found at a comidershle
distance from the body of the deoeseed, and there are other
circumstances which at present cloud the came with mystery.
From the statement of the husband it appeared that the
woman bad been labouring for some time under attacks of
delirium trams's. The coroner's inquiry woe adjourned
for • week in ardor that a thorough investigation might
take place.
Faatrm. Boman EXYLOSION.—Foos Paneccat
BILLED AND Tammzx WOONDED.—Kt a little after
o'clock on Saturday morning, a boiler exploded near to the
town of &Woe, Staffordshire, which has been attended
with remits of a most painful nature, four poems having
been rpaakked up ins the rains dead, and thirteen more having
sustained injuries more or leas serious. Of these latter
it is impossible that one can survive many hours. The works
at which the accident happened are those known as the
Billiton Mill, the property of Mews. W. and J. S. Sparrow,
sad are situated not far from the Millfields Works of
Mews. Roae, at which, by • similar calamity •
short time ago, twelve persons were killed.
There are upon the premises three powerful steam
engines. The engine in the nil mill, where there ace
also eleven pudding farmer, is supplied with steam by two
large British tube tiring boilers. At the hour named, ems
of the large British tube-firing boilers, the position of which
was farthest from the mill, blew op without giving the
slightest warning, and with a concussion and report that
could be heard and felt throughout the greater part of
Bilaton. At this time the day and the mot men were
changing turns, arid there were not, therefore, we suppose,
more than about 50 MOO and boys io the works. Amongst
these the explosion occasioned the wildest consternation,
as they found the roofs of the buildings beneath which they
were working felling upon them ; whilst those who ware
at work in the open air were surrounded by innumerable
missiles composed of masonry and iron, and were scalded
with a shower of boiling water that had escaped from the
imploded boiler. The results were as stated above.
11ABOBE AND BLACK SEA RAILWAY. —The twelfth
half- yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday
at the oftor, 24, Abingdoe•street, Westminster ; Bar
Samuel Canard in the chair. The chairman said there me
no
formal report to lay before the meeting, but he could
mate that the last accounts from their manner were of •
most favourable character, and they had every reason to be
satisfied with the menet position of timeline. What they
now wanted was an additional warehouse or storeroom at
Kustjendee, by which the amount of their busies. would be
largely increased. Their present storeroom aecommodation
was not more than sufficient for 90,000 quartet"
of corn, while they wanted room for 200,000. For want
of this room they lost • great deed of buskinss dor*
the motor months. Earl Russell had received •
most favourable despatch from the consul in reference to
the large amount of corn trade that could be thrown on
to their line, and which despatch had been placed in the
hands of the directors. The estimated cost of the additional
warehouses would be about 30,0001. He was also hippy to
my the floods had subsided, arid the damage done had been
repaired. He was not an over rapine man, but he had
great faith in the position and prospects of the company.
The secretary then read the dispatch alluded to by the
chairman, which was of a very encouraging character, and
some routine business having being traosacted the meeting
corecluded. A special meeting was then held, when certain
alterations in the articles of association enabling the direc-
tors to change the time and plan of meeting were disowned
mid unanimously weed to.
