THE BIRMINi..HAM HORSE SHOW. —Yesterday
morning, at to o'clock, this exhibition was opened ; the
public were admitted at that hour on payment of Is., and
this was charged up to 1 o'clock. Half-a-crown extra was
charged to those who chose to avail themselves of the
accommodation of the two galleries which had been
erected, these affording a better opportunity for observ-
ing the horses as they were sent into the well-turfed rise
for the judges to make their inspection. The gentlemen
to whom this task was allotted commenced their duties at
this early hour, and zealously they pursued them in each
department throughout the day ; but late in the afternoon
they had not finished, so great was the competition.
After 1 o'clock the public were admitted on pay-
ment of half-a-crown, and during the greater part of the
day Bingley-hall well filled. Like everything else which the
committee of this cattle show have taken in hand in con-
nexion with it, they have brought to bear great spirit and
labour ; and this exhibition, which was an experiment,
has been a great and undoubted success. Without the aid
of a subscription list prizes have been offered to the
amount of 560/., the committee of the exhibition relying
on it to pay itself. and from the estimate which may be
formed of yesterday's attendance, there appears to be no
doubt but that that result will be obtained. Lord Wen-
lock, the president, was present during the greater part
of the 413 y. as was also the Mayor, and bunting-men from
all parts of the country were present.
TREATS Fur. THE POOR.—A very interesting
scene was witnessed yesterday morning in the parish of
Christ Church. Blacifriars, on the south side of the
Thames. Since the time of his presentation to the rectory
in 1649, the Rev. Joseph Brown has been in the habit
once a year of taking his poor parishioners and the children
of his schools for a country trip. and some hundreds of
them started off yesterday morning to Hampton Court
and Bushey Park. A special train on the South Western
Railway was in readiness for them at eight o'clock, by
which time the happy party were at Waterloo-station,
ready for the anticipated enjoyments of the day. These
annual trips are becoming very general in crowded London
districts. Amongst others announced by the clergy for
the present mouth we find those by the Rev. W. J. Mark-
well, M.A., rector of St. James's, Curtain-road •, the Rev.
Dr. Allen. rector of St. George the Martyr, Southwark,
and the Rev. J. C. Chambers, M.A., incumbent of St.
Mary's. Crown-street. Soho.
GREAT FIRE AT BRADFORD.—Yesterday morn-
ing, Shear Bridge Mil:, at Horton, near Bradford, was
destroyed by tire. The premises consisted of a mill of
three storeys and an attic, and a large shed, and were the ,
property of Mr. Thomas Firth, a retired manufacturer.
The premises were in the joint occupation of Messrs.
Briggs Brothers, manufacturers, Mr. Charles Turner,
spinner and manufacturer, and Mr. Brook, spinner; and
the shed and the rooms of the mill were well stored with
weaving looms and spinning frames. The fire was dis-
covered about 3.'30 yesterday morning. In a short time
the entire building was in flames, and was reduced to a
heap of ruins. The loss, it is supposed, can hardly be less
than 30,000/. or 40,0001. Nothing is known as to how the
fire originated.
FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER LEA.—
Last evening an inquest was held at Homerton on the
body of Alfred Prior, aged 16 years. On Sunday morning
the deoe;_sed hired an outrigger boat on the river Lea,
which by some means became upset. In spite of efforts to
save him, and his speedy recovery from the water, life was
found to be extinct. The jury returned a verdict of
"Accidental Death," and added a suggestion that more
care should be exercised in hiring outrigger boats to per-
sons of whose ability to manage them the boat-keepers had
no knowledge.
MORE RAILWAY APPROPRIATION OF BURIAL

GROUNPFI.—It having been reported that the London and
North Western Railway Company would shortly require
to purchase the burial ground in Hampatead-road belong-
ing to Lie parish of St. James, Westminster, for the ex-
tension of tue Euston station on the west, and for the
North We-tern and Charing-cross Railway, the vestry of
St. James. Westminster, at their last meeting, proceeded
to fill up the vacancies in the number of trustees of the
burial-ground, as that body will have to negotiate the
terms of sale. and Mr. Chinnock, the auctioneer, Mr.
Bidgood, member of the Metropolitan Board of Works,
and Mr. Weymouth, of Cleveland-row, were elected. It
was stated by the vestrymen that a substantial price
would be required from the railway company for the
ground.
