MELANCHOLY CASE OP DROWNING AT OXIPORD.—
On Sunday afternoon, the three daughters of Mr. White,
quartermaster sergeant of the Oxfonlshire militia, were
out for a walk on the towing path of the river Isis, nes.
Medley-lock, when, unfortunately, the middle one, aged
about 9 years, ventured to try the ice close to the back,
and for safety, as they supposed, the sisters caught bold
of each others' hands, and just as the poor gill got her feet
on the ice it gave way and caused their hands to part, awl
she fell into the water,which is 14 feet deep. The stream
being very rapid, she was swept away, and although every
means has been used the body has not yet been found.

THE ThitoUGHAM DINING-HALLS COMPANY IN
CHANCERT.—Yesterday afternoon, at the chambers of the
Master of the Rolls, before Mr. Church, the chief clerk,
an application was made for a " call " by Mr. Edmunds
(Edmunds and Masters), for the liquidators. The com-
pany was established to supply the working dame. with
" cheap dinners," and halls haul been opened in Fleet-
street, the New Cut, and Market-street, Edgware-road.
The affair had failed, and had come under the Winding-up
Act on the voluntary principle. There were 14,000 share-
holders, at 2/. a share, on which 1/. fa. had been paid, and
a call of 4s. per share was now proposed, which was ex-
pected to produce 2,6001. The property in Fleet-street
had been realised, and that in the New Cut and elsewhere
was estimated. About 2,0001. more was required for
debts, and about 600/. for the costs of the winding up. A
number of shareholders attended. Some mid they had
joined it out of charity to the working classes. They bad
paid enough and got nothing. A shareholder said he was
a working man. He had been induced to take shares, and
looked upon it as a robbery. After much discussion the
chief clerk made • call of 4s. per share, payable on the
16th February, and adjourned the matter to the Z;nl.
The parties would then ascertain whether it would be
sufficient. The shareholders said they should object to a
further call.

A meeting in favour of the movement to promote
railway reform in Ireland was held at Waterford on Tues-
day. The chair was occupied by Sr Benjamin Morris.
The meeting was addressed by W. Win. Maloolmaon, Mr.
Blake, M.P., and others, who spoke in support of the pro-
posal that thn government should purchase the Irish rail-
ways. Resolutionsin favour of the proposal ware adopted
unanimously.
