G l'N Af ...the:cr.—An accident, which may be at-
tended with fatal results, has happened to Lieut.-4 olonel
Tindirell, formerly of her Maj• sty's 5.4 th Regiment. and
late Paymaster of the Sanatorium, Cape of Good Hope. In
stooping to pick up sonic game, one barrel of his fowling-
piece was accidentally discharged. Thc shot entered his
instep, poising almost entirely through it. The foot has
been amputated, last the gallant officer, who has fought
hie country's battles unscathed in every uarter of the
globe, tics at Ross, in Iferefordshine, in a very precarious
state.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT ALDERNEY.—A party of
ladies and gentlemen started one day last week to explore
a part of the island of Alderney, known as Mutton
Valley. The descent from the upper ground being abrupt,
and the nature of the rock loose and friable, the under-
taking was one of difficulty and danger, as was unhappily
proved by one of the ladies falling from • considerable
height, whereby she sustained such severe injuries that her
death ensued three days later.
FIRE AT THE ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY S GARDEN/4.
A fire was discovered in the giraffe house in the Zoological
Society's gardens, Regent's-park, last night, about 7 o'clock,
after the visitors had all left. Luckily it was quickly ex-
tinguished, bet not until two of the society's fine stud of
giraffes ha,' perished. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by a fuzee or Inciter having been dropped accident-
ally among the straw. and subsequently ignited by one of
the animals treading upon it. The value of the giraffes is
estimated at 5501., but the loss is amply covered by
insurances.
AN AMERICAN CENTENARIAN.—The Chambers-
/Afro ‘Pa.l Repository says :—" Mrs. Mary Andrews died
at Strasburg, in this county, on the 22nd ult., at the ad-
vanced age of 105 years. With what respect and awe
should poor hums. ity look upon such • duration of life.
Born two years before the end of the French and Indian
war, four years before the famous Stamp Act was passed,
fifteen years before the declaration of independence,
thirty-eight years before the death of Washington, fifty-
one years before the war of 1812, one hundred years old at
1 the outbreak of the Southern rebellion. What a long•
loog, weary pilgrimage !"
ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL Boam.—The paper to
be read at the evening meeting on Monday, the 19th haat.•
will be "On Mr. W. IL Johnson's recent Journey to
1 Khoten in Chinese Tartary." By Sir Henry C. Bawlineou,
