TUE NEW DOCKS AT CARDIFF. The tender of
Messrs. lierninsrway and Pearson for the formation of these
docks has been formally accepted by the trustees of the Mar-
quis of Bute. The contract will involve an outlay of
250,0001. or 300,0001. That sum will be laid out in forming
the docks alone, as they are to be extremely capacious, and
replete with conveniences forcarrying on trade upon a scale
of the greatest magnitude, and the entrance gates wide
enough to admit steamers of the largest class ; but, in addi-
tion to that expenditure, money will be required for ex-
tending, railroad aceommedation to the docks, for shipping
stages, wharfs, dwelling houses, itc., Rte. ; altogether it is
supposed that about half a million sterling will be needed.
It is said that the works arc to be commenced in February,
and that probably the youthful Marquis of Bute will turn
the first 1104.-swansea !tepid.
DORCIIE4TER AND EXETER RAILWAT.—At a meet-
ing of the directors of the Southampton Chamber of Com-
merce, held yesterday, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted : ' That, in the opinion of this meet-
ing the proposed extension of the Dorchester Railway to
Exeter is of importance to the trade and commerce of
Southampton, and calculated to be of great public conve-
nience, and that the attention of the directors of the
South Western Railway be earnestly called to the same,
and its f ivour able consideration respectfully solicited." A
public meeting has also been called by the Mayor of South-
ampton, on the 15th inst., to devise measures to secure
the extension of the Dorchester Railway to Exeter, and
to oppose the formation of the Direct London and Exeter
FATAL ACCIDENT AT MESSRa. ETRE AND Seen-
TlSWOUlleB.—Testerday an inquest was taken by Mr.
Baker, at the Red Cow, Dagen, on view of the body of
John Patel, aged 31, in the service of Messrs. Eyre and
Spottiswoode, the Queen's printers, Shaeklewcll. It was
the employment of the deceased to attend to a printing
machine which was put in motion by a steam-engine. Oa
the 21th ult., while attending a machine, a screw got un-
fixed. Ile was in the act of tiglsteain it, while doing
which he inadvertently placed his head between the lever
and the bracket, when he was struck by the lever on the
right ear. lle momentarily extricated himself, and ea-
claimed to a boy who was near him," My head is smashed."
Mr. Long, foreman of the machine department, immediately'
took him to the German Hospital, where he erns attended
by Dr. Weyer, the resident physician, who found the left
ear cut in two and an extensive fracture over the right car.
lie rallied under treatment, but afterwards fell into a state
of insensibility, in which he remained till Monday last,
when he died. Deceased had been five years in the esta-
blishment, and has left seven children. The firm, upon the
admission of the deceased, gave a liberal contlibution to
the funds of the hospital. Verdict—" Accideutal death."
SINGULAR ESCAPE.—On Thursday morning a most
extraordinary escape was experienced by a child named
Bacon, belonging to poor but respectable parents, at Stan-
way. The child was playing round the mouth of a draw
well, 41 feet deep, but containing little water, when it tell
in: the force of the fall was broken upon the water, and
the child when released was found with its head in a
bucket which rested on the bottom. The parents of the
child were instantly attrac...d to the distressing scene, aid
rapidly raising the bucket to the top of the well they had
the joyful satisfaction of soon discovering that their child
hail sustained no further injuries than some severe bruises.

DEATH ON A DOOR STEP.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley,
M.P. held an inquest in the Marylelmue Workhouse, uu
the body of Stephen Stephens, aged formerly an inmate
of the above workhouse. Deceased was found by the
police on the step of a door in Manchester-square, on Sun-
day morning, quite insensible. Hewes taken to the station-
house in Marylebonc-lane, whence he was removed to the
workhouse, where stimulants were administered, and every
attention paid to him, notwithstanding which he died on
the same evening. The jury found that the death was
occasioned by want of proper nourishment, and expressed
an opinion, in which the coroner concurred, that the police
had exhibited great neglect in not having administered
stimulants to deceased in the first instance.

GAROTTE ROBBERIES IN BIRMINGHAM unhappily-
continue on the increase, the past week having added sere-
ral more to the already large number that have recently
taken place in this town and neighbourhood. An improve-
ment seems to have been made in the "garotte," in the
shape of an instrument with a running noose, equally
adapted to throw round the neck and to serve as a trap fur
the feet. The frequency of these attacks, and the audacious
manner in which they are carried on, cause great alarm to
the inhabitants of the outskirts of the town, and it is to be
hoped that the logice will be able soon to effect a capture of
some of these highway Thugs.
SINGULAR CHICVMSTANCL—ACOTIeSpOndent states
that on Friday morning last, Dee. 6, as the team-man in the
employ of Mr. Wm. Palmer, of Besthorp, Norfolk, was
about to give his master's hones provender, in clearing out
the manger, discovered a piece of one of their tongues,
which, on rumination, was found to lie about three inches
long, and to belong to a fine chestnut horse, six years old.
The animal was in perfect health at the time, and had been
at work the previous day. It is supposed that the horse
bad bitten the piece off while asleep, as he gvnerilly slept
with his tongue hanging out of has mouth, and marks of
teeth appear on the piece found. He is reported to be
doing well, and the proprietor has resolved to preserve the
portion of the tongue found in spirits.
