A man, apparently a labourer, wee brought up by Impac-
tor Pridgeoo, of the London and North Western Railway
Company's police, awned with an assault of a most mur-
derous nature upon James Welted and soother man by
stabbing them with a knife in seemed class carriage, which

" This in to certify that James Warland is suffering from a

The other injured person was present, but he was sot
sworn, the magistrate having ascertained from the inspector
that the outrege occurred war Bletchley, Bucks, which was
out of his jurisdiction.

given ti to the inspector, in order to be conveyed by

ExygNarva Futzs.—Between 12 and 1 this morn-
ing a destructive fire broke out in the timber yard attached
to the *teem saw mills belonging to HOWL Robinson and
Bertram, York-road, Lambeth. It originated from some
unknown Cann amongst a number of stacks of timber afar
the timber yard,and spreading furiously threatened destruc-
tion to the entire plant. Happily, by pulling down
about 600 deals, the firemen succeeded in saving a ,
vest amount of property, but the stock in the yard
was extensively burned, and the windows of the
boiler boss destroyed. The loss will fall upon
the Manchester end Royal Fire offiose.—A fire also broke
outs short time previously in the premises of Mr. J. Hil-
lyer, a cabinet-maker, at 4. St. John's4erroe, Hackney-
road. The flames commenced in the ground-floor workshop,
and rapidly extended to the workshops over. The first and
emend-floor workshops were dotroyed, and the stock of
timber in the open yard severely damaged. The premises

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE —Two Youso Own-
Ti IMIN DROWNED AT BOGNOR. —On Wednesday, the 15th
inst., three eons of Mr. Blossoms, • visitor, Ware shrimp-
ing on the sands to the westward of the rocks, and whilst
so engaged the tide, which et full and change Bows some-
what-briskly, surrounded them. When making for shore,
indeed of keeping to the westward of the rocks,
on account of their ignorance of the 'polity,
they took a less circuitous course, and dangerous,
on account of the deep ;mole in that direction, into one of
which they unfortunately got, and two (the oldest and the
youngest) were drowned. The other, ere life was extinct.,
was extricated from his perilous situation by the prompt and
praiseworthy exertions of two young gentlemen named Pren-
dergast sod Tioehurst, and live, to sorrow over the sad sod
untimely fate of his lost brothers. The absence of the
father, and the present state (near her confinement) of the
bereft mother, throws a still deeper gloom over this dis-
tressing evert.—Surrey Standard.
