A SOLDIIR FLOGGID AT CHRSTRTL—Yesterday
morning, the headquarter companies of the Iflth regiment
(Royal Irish', stationed at Chester Natle, under
the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Call, ware
paraded in the inner yard to witness the
punishment of a comrade, Private Richardson, who
had been tried by court-martial and condemned to be
toped for striking • corporal named Holborn. The out-
put, who was a oung man, and had only been one year in
the service, received 50 lashes. His appearance, on being
taken back to the hospital, showed that the punishment
had been of • most severe nature.
FRIGHTFUL 8171(1,32.—A young woman named
testes committed suicide last night at the Stepney Juno-
non station by throwing herself on the line as • train
vas advancing, and was dreadfully mutilated by
the wheels of the carriages. Her remains were collected,
pot into a sack, and deposited in the Ratcliff
dead-how. The deceased was 22 years of age,
the daughter of Mr. Piton. • respectable licensed
victualler and landlord of the Rising Sims, in
Oxfordetreet, Stepney. She had heen married three
months. The union had not been • happy one. The de-
ceased had been guilt of many irregularities, and twice
attempted to poison herself. It is believed that her un•
happiness and misfortunes arose from her not being able
to marry her first love, with whom she quarrelled a short
time before her marriage.
Tag SURAT ON A REur. —A letter from one of
the passengers on board the Surat, written at the time she
was one reef, says :—" There is no disguising the fact that
anYetterlay we were in imminent danger, and for • while
most faces wore a solemn, resigned expression. Still Eng-
lishmen mostly behave well under such circumstances, and
e"*`*l4 our company has been no exception to the rule.
Our notle vessel has so far been our salvation, for
though in the opinion of many nautical men on board the
Pounding she has had would have broken up any wooden
vend that ever floated, and three-fourths of the Iron ones.
Yet she has stood the ordeal most splendidly, and still goes
on ruling against the reef whenever • heavy wave breaks.
We are gettint used to it now, and I actually lay on the
tibia floor with the keel lifting and bumpiog under my
,tw, and slept soundly from 2to 5 o'clock this morning.
jaw, were some pretty little pictures yesterday during
the time of greatest peril. At the foot of the cabin
stairs when I came down lay • baby asleep on
a pillow on the floor, and a black Ayah asleep by
her with her h-ad on the pillow. Close by sat • Hindoo
man nurse, '
with another baby in Weems. They looked the
tete type of fidelity, and no doubt would both have died
*.th their charges rather than have abandoned them. It
*as curious to see all through the gale yesterday, when
"oaf one was so alarmed, tie poor little punkah wallahs
quietly continuing to pull their punkahs in their slow
11"07 style. It seemed a matter of indifference to them
'bet sr they went to the bottom or not. Perhaps it
would have been rather a relief to the fellows to have no
more Ptutkahs to pull. During the gale on Saturday we
*rode arrangements to take possession of • stand of arms,
ePusting of rifles, pistols, and sabres, to prevent any
"soner of the Laacars going off with the boats, as the do
sometimes when there is • wreck. We should have p
the hoies in first, and then have done what we could foe
the fut. Fortooately this was not required, but it seemed
qutk likely at one time."
