FATAL GOCITZZINCII at THE VICTORIA DOCKS.
—Tmn DAY.—This morning a shocking and fatal accident
happened to a man named Henry Strolger, aged 35 yearn,
a seaman raiding at No. 7, Catherine-street, Bt. George's-
in-the-East. It appears that the deceased was engaged on
the main yard of a large vessel lying in the import Main of
the Victoria Dock', when he, by some means, slipped, and
fell a distance of sixty feet on to the deck. Upon his re-
moval to the Poplar Hospital both legs were found to be
fractured, and his body severely contused. The poor
fellow shortly afterwards expired.
TEE LATE CAPTAIN GLADSTONE,
silent benevolence his ample means were ever open to chari-
table appeal—not limited to hie own neighbourhood ; but as
an accidental oonversatMn with a brother officer revealed to
ns, "Ali! Gladstone is my never failing resource in any mina
naval distress." Of his munificence there stands a noble and
a holy proof in the handsome church which entirely at his
own expense—permitting his brother the Chancellor of the
Exchequer alone to contribute the handsome altar cloth—
he built on the picturesque hill adjoining Bowden Park. For
this great boon to those who were lung distant from the
parish church he secured permanence and effect by liberal
endowment ; and by sad coincidence he just lived until the
completion of his good work, for the formation of St. Ann's,
Bowden-hill, into a consolidated chapelry, was in Friday
night's Gazette. But manifest and conspicuous as, from its
position, is this lasting memorial of his goodness, it will
scarcely be his best remembrance in the hearts of those near
him, especially the poor. It will be long ere they forget
whose gentle hand brought the small delicacy which might
tempt appetite to the bed side of the poor girl dying of
consumption ; or the voice that read words of solace to the
bed•ridden old man. He is • sore loss to all of these, and
they mourn him with true tars.—Desires Gazette.
A. CURIOSITY. --Some friends of Bishop Tozer
have subscribed to present him with a pastoral staff, the
symbol of his office. It has been designed by Mr. Withers,
of Doughty-street, sad executed by Keith. The total
length of it is five feet nine niches. The staff is of ebony,
aad the pike at the butt, the knob in the middle, and that
from which the crook issues, are of silver, richly chased
and parcel gilt. The knob at the top is octagonal, and set
with carbuncles and a diamond valued at 701. ; and the
crook, which is of ivory, carved to represent foliage, is
also met with carbuncles, diminishing. in size from the
bass. Inserted in the curve is a am-leaved flower of
silver-tilt, in the midst of which flames a large carbuncle.—

THE ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OP RUTLAND.—
Attar a coesultation at Grantham, just held by Dr. S.
Persons, of London ; Mr. W. Wright, surgeon, of Notting-
ham ; and Mr. Robert Shipham, surgeon, of Grantham, the
following bulletin has been issued with respect to the soul.
dent to his grace the Duke of Rutland :—" Feb. 11.—The
duke's symptoms have been gradually improving for the
Let twenty-four hours, and there is every probability of his
grace progreesiag favourably." A large number. of the
neighbouring nobility and gentry have called or left cards at
the hotel when the duke is lying.
Tag FIRE BRIGADE.—The Home Secretary ban
intimated to the principal fire-oft/ow in the metropolis that
the government intend introducing E bill into parliament for
the formation of a fire protective force for London, in con-
nexion with the police force ; and Captain Shaw, the suc-
cessor of the lamented Mr. Braidwood as superintendent of
the brigade, has had au interview with Sir George
Grey on the subject, his understood that part of the con-
templated arrangements will be to amalgamate the present
fire brigade with a fire police, and to extend engine stations
throughout almost every parish in the metropolis, bringing
the Dumber up to 120 stations and a corm of 500 men.
A recent act of clerical intolerance at Guiebro'
has called forth a well-merited rebuke. A abort time
ago, the Rev. F. Morgan, the incumbent, expelled
from one of the schools several children because they
did not attend the established church on Sundays.
This narrow-minded display of bigotry does not appear
to have been approved driven by the church party, and we
are happy to find that the trustees of the school—who are
we believe all laymen of the church—have not only ex-
their disapprobarion of the incumbent's conduct,
tette placed a barrier to its future exercise, by declaring
the school open to all children, irrespective of seut.—Leeds
Mercury.

ifik7TION AT CONITAIMNOPLE. —The first exe-
=dos which bag °warred in the capital dem the accesaiou
of the memos sultan took place on Monday morning at the
Stamboul end of the Karakeui bridge. The sufferer wag •
Kurd, named Solo Ibrahim. from Mound', near Van, and
hie grime had been the double murder of his master, one
Wait Effendi, and • white slave, some ten months ago, at
Bebsek. The circumstances of the ease merit more than
the mere record of their tragical result. He was condemned
to death, nearly six weeks ago, since which no effort
of the Minister of Police could Sod an executioner, till on
Satniday last, after hard bargaining, the services of • gipsy
were secured. The fellow asked I,ooop. for the job, and the
Minister of Police offered 500 p. ; after much haggling, the
contracting parties split the difference, and 750 p. were paid
over to the Zingari Calcraft No notice of his fate had been
given to the murderer, and whoa, at sunrise on Moods,'
mornieg, ha was roused out of hie cell at the Zaptieh, he was
told he was to be sent forthwith on board a steamer
for irelliwnid. Accordingly, he was marched down to- !
wards the bridge between • couple of policeman. On
coining within sight of the bridge-end, be saw • strong'
picket of policemen drawn up, and, rising slightly above i
their beads, the rude gallows of three upright poles and
a transverse. He then struggled violently and bad to
be dragged by main force to the gallows-foOt. There he
asked time to say his mew (prayer), but the gipsy
fiMaher of the law, considering that he had had a clear
six weeks for devotion, refused the grace; and, whilst
a maple of policemen held him down, threw hie waist-
belt round the wretch'. neck god strangled him into
insensibility as he lay. He then looped a rope round
the neck di his victim sad, hauling him up with this to the
arose-beam of the gallows, tugged at his lege till the work
of death wag done. The body remained dangling within a
foot of the ground for several hours in charge of • solitary
permeate*, when it was cut down mad huddled away in •
bag for dlshoootired burial outside the walla. When the
execution took place there ware act a dam of people pre-
, sent besides the police, nor did • more at any one time later
in the ,nerving stop to look at the apparatus of death and
its ghastly freight —Lemint Herder, Feb.
