(BY ascriuc =zones.)

BIRKENHEAD, FRIDAT.

The mail train arrived here this morning at
9 o'clock. At a abort distance from Rugby while pro-
ceeding at the rate of 30 miles per hour, the engine boiler
suddenly blew up, forcing all the carriages off the
rill and down an embankment. Several passengers were
severely shaken and injured.
The Yost-office van was 'method to atoms, and the
stoker bad both his legs blown off, and his life is despaired of.

THE GREAT RIFLE MAIN'H AT WIMBLEDON.—
(fHom Day.)—Notwithstanding the unsettled state el the
I weather this morning, there being rapid %hermeticas of sun-
' three and showers, there were crowds of visitors at Wimble-
doe, the reported proceedings of yesterday having excited
much interest in the impending trials.
THE STRIKE IN THE BUILDING TRADE.—LATEST
PARTICULARS.— (THISDAT.)— n aggregate meeting of masons
is to be held to-night in order to determine what steps shall
be taken in reference to their present position. As • body
they still stand aloof, and it is understood that to-night •
resolution will be submitted, and most probably pared, de-
daring • continuance of the present strike, and making •
fresh appeal to the country on their behalf. Up to the
present time the subscriptions from the country have not
come in very freely, • circumstance which the leaders of the
movement account for by saying that they have not yet
had any organised agitation throughout the pro-
'duces, but that • different result will probably
follow in the weeks that are to come. A
very small dividend is expected this week, and many of the
families are in deep distress. The works at Meese.
Myers, Meson. Lucas, and other leading yards, are going
on steadily, but they have not yet obtained their fall com-
plement al men.
THE GREAT FIRE.—LATIIIT PARTICULARS.—
FRIDAY Nowt.—At the present hour Loodooderidge is
crowded on the lower side, notwithstanding that showers of
Mill and frequent occurrence, viewing with astonishment
the raging of the fire. There is, however, nothing like that
immense body of name as existed yesterday, and over 100
men are engaged in collecting tallow, oil, and other goods
from the rouse. Up to 12 o'clock not less than 10".) tons
weight of tallow and other descriptions of grease have
been obtained. About 100 tons of rage have likewise been
got out. and about 150 tons of hides, au immense quantity

THE SUSPICIOUS AND MYSTERIOUS DEATH NEAR
BRADFORD.—We (Man nester Summer) learn that •
resident at Great Horton, last week, first called the at-
tention of the Secretary of State to the movements of Mr.
Mackley, with regard more especially to the midnight re-
moval of the body of Martha Curtis. The result was
that Colonel Cobbs, the chief of the West Bides Con-
staliulary, had he ideation called officially to the matter,
Wilelen being in his district. Through that officer, the
matter came under the attention of Mr. Graben, who im-
mediately took such action as led to a coroner's investiga-
tion. Up to within an hour of Martha Curtis's death, no
third person was in Mr. Mackley's bowie. His usual Prac-
tice, on going out, was to lock her in. Her critical condition
at the early part of last week caused him to wad • written
message very hastily fur her mother and sister to come, and
they accordingly arrived together at Mr. Mackley's about an
hour before Martha expired. Tbs., were not forthcoming
at the inquest, and it is inferred they will be unwilling wig-
wam Mr. Mackley was apprehended on Wednesday on •
warrant charging him with making • false certificate
of the came of death, but it is probable that, after the in-
quest,
rottali=en may be added. He will, no doubt, be
farlhr to-morrow. Bail was refused on Wed-
needey evening. The ma!) • child d Ave or •six months'
growth was bora, according to the medical testimony, yet
no traces of its existence have been discovered. Mr. Mack.
ley is the see of Mr. Mackley, an old and nepenthe prac-
Wieser, long reddest at Winder), and wee attached to the
surgical staff which scoanspaeied the English army in the

A LADY AMONGST THE STUDENTIL—k lady, of
admirable IMPON4 and highly to be reasseeted for her ex-
cellent burins has advanc...-d so far as to have taken
cowers d wisteria medin and chemistry at the
school el the Middlesex Hospital. It is understood
that this lady has also applied for cards of admis-
sion to the counts of anatomy. physiology, and other
winter lectures and demonstrations. it. practical
inOMlTOnillatila, the improprieties, sod the anomalies
attending the introduction of Idie, amongst the classes
of male medical student► have been so strongly felt, that
the students at Middlesex Hospital have revolted against
the inowatico, and petitioned the lecturers naiad per-
mitting its continuance. The majority of these gentlemen
concurred io the feeling of the students, arid the
further desired privileges have not been *worded. She
is perfectly iu earnest, and clearly insensible to
the unpleasant feelings which her presence must arouse
for, undaunted by her failure at Middlesex Hospital, and
by the rejection of her offer to endow the school with
2,000 f. as • foundation for a female medial scholarship,
she has made application at other hospitals. Her present
armed is, we believe, to Westminster Hospital. But tie
same principle is obviously involved, wherever the ques-
tion is to be carried. We .lo not apprehend that the
lecturers and students at Westminster Hospital are
likely to differ in opinion from thaw of the Mid-
dlesex. When all that can be mid in favour has been
heard, there will remain the unalterable sense of impro-
priety In mingling young womec with young men in cl macs
destined to hear and see daily sights, descriptions, and ex-
platiatiow which mullet toe endured by men in the presence
of women, without a violation of all the relations of sex
which are essential to the well-being of our social system, as
at present framed.—Lonrrt.
A CHARACTERISTIC AcT OF GARIBALDL --There
is an anecdote in the Italian papers of Garibaldi. A short
time secs • Freuch merchant vessel was in a very perilous
situation Dear (*sprees. The captain being ignorant of the
tides mid the thuds, was in an almost helpless state, when
to his great relief a fishing boat came alongside, and a sea-
faring man, in • red shirt and rough trowsen, offered to
take the helm and assist in extricating the vessel from her
dangerous position. This, with some hard work, be sue-
ese.l in doing. The grateful reptain of the tiler:hied
vessel proffered money to his preserver, whom he took for
a pilot or a fisherman. The latter gooddiumouredly re-
fused all remuneration, stating he haulbeen amply paid by
having done a wad act. The captain was somewhat
surprised at this. for pilots and f.shermen are not proverbial
in that part of the world for refusing money, or anything
else that comes is their way. The captain afterwards found
out, to his greet surprise and joy, that the person who had
extricated him was the celeurattsl General Garibaldi.

CRYSTAL PALATE.—BIoWIiII'S performance yes-
terday attracted a very largo number of spectators, though
in consequence of the boisterous weather he walked on the
rope inside the Pekoe instead of on the terracc as announced.
Not the least interesting feature in the gardens was the
of shout 150 boys from the vessels of war at
re7ertas ems and Chatham to witnem the exhibitions of
Blondin. They were accompanied by Captain W. G.
Luerd, flarpe +Min to the Commander-in-Chief at the Wore.
Lieutenant Bt. Vincent D. Luke, Mr. W Reunite*. pay-
master, Mr. .1. A. Perkins, and Mr. J. Grwry, chief of the
police, and his staff on board the Formidable. The boys
were delighted with the performances of Blondin, and the
lads eserired desirous of emulating the aerial fonts of that
'Mounding performer. They were regaled with a good
dinner of substantial hot joints, with the isdispeomble
adjunct plum pudding, and subsequently refreshed with tea.
after which they returned to their ships highly gratified
with the day's remotion.
