• Tragic temporarily interrupted through damage caused by
excessive floods.

One of the largest takes of herrings perhaps ever
known was secured in Dublin Bay on Sunday night. A
fleet of about 100 smacks were engaged at the work, and
all secured such quantities that great difficulty arose in
getting in the nets. The fish were brought ashore and
piled in immense heaps along the pier at Kingatown, and
the district was scoured for salt with which to preserve
there. The fish are now chiefly used for exportation and
curing, as since the epidemic of cholera has exhibited
itself in Dublin and in the workshops of the sea coast the
poorer classes have evinced a disrelish for fish of any
description.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LORD BROUGHAM'S
NIECE.—On Monday evening, an accident occurred to Miss
Brougham. niece of Lordßrougham. Miss Brougham and
her sister, attended by a man servant, left Brougham Hall,
Cumberland, for Penrith, on horseback, on Monday after-
noon. On their return home the horse on which Miss
Brougham was riding took fright, reared and fell back-
wards, crushing the young lady in the fall. On recovering
itself, the animal galloped off. The injured lady was taken
to a toll-keeper's house close by, when medical assistance
was soon in attendance. A messenger was at once sent off
to Brougham Hall, whence a carriage was despatched, and
the sufferer conveyed home.
AsSAULT IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. —On Mon-
day Stephen Kinsay, described as a butcher, was had up
before the Shrewsburymagistrates, charged with indecently
assaulting a young woman named Mary Ann Briscoe. The
prosecutrix stated that on Monday,but week, she travelled
by an evening train from Shrewsbury to Ford. She got
into a third-class carriage, and saw no one in except the
prisoner, who at the time she entered was separated from
her by two compartments. Almost before the train had
started he clambered over to her, and began to assault her,
and did not cease until the train reached Ford. As the
train approached that station the prosecutrix opened the
door, and, in her fright, was leaving the carriage before the
train stopped. The prisoner caught hold of her dress, as if
to pull her back, and she Veil on the platform, and had •
narrow escape from death. There was no attempt to deny
the assault, hut prisoner urged that he was under the in-
fluence of drink. He was a married man, and had seven
children. He was committed for trial, but bail was ac-
cepted for his appearance at the sessions.
THE ROCHDALE AND OTHER LIFEROATS.—The
people of Rochdale have, through Mr. R. Taylor Heaps,
liberally contributed NM, to pay the cost of a lifeboat and
its equipment. It will be publicly exhibited in that town
on Saturday next, the 10th inst. The lifeboat, on its
transporting carriage, will be drawn by a team of horses
through the principal streets of Rochdale to Holliugworth
Lake, where it will be launched. The boat will be manned
by the crew of the Blackpool lifeboat of the institution ;
various evolutions will be performed vrithtliebost,including
capsizing, to test the qualities of self-righting, self-
ejecting water, kc. The lifeboat Rochdale is to be 'sta-
tioned at Polkerris, near Fowey, on the Cornish coast.
The institution also sent this day a new lifeboat to
Mundesle on the Norfolk coast, in lien of an older one
there, which was becoming unfit for service. The new
boat is named the " Grocers' Lifeboat," the cost of it
having been liberally contributed, through the untiring
exertions of Mr. William Reed, of 4, Monument-yard, by
the grocers of England. A new lifeboat has also been sent
to Ilfracombe, North Devon. The wet of it was contri-
buted to the society, on the 21st June last, by Mr. Robert
Broadwater, of Hornsey-rise, in conjunction with his
friends, in commemoration of his fiftieth birthday, and
the lifeboat has been named the " Brosawater." The life-
boat is to be publicly launched at Ilfracombe on Wednes-
day next, the 14th inst., when a procession to the harbour
will be formed, and the boat will afterwards be named by
the Countess Fortescue. The several railway companies
gave readily a free conveyance over their lines to the three
lifeboats.
