MELANCHOLY DEATH OP A DLit WHO SAVED THE
QUEEN'E LIFF--On Saturday night, Mr. Bedford, the West-
minster coroner, held an inquest at St. George's Work-
house, Mount-street, Groeveaor @guars, on view of the body
of John Turner, aged 54, an imbecile inmate of the above
workhouse, who, about three week, since, accidentally fell
down SO Ind steps and sustained injuries which caused his
death on Tuesday last. The evidence elicited from the
son of the deceased was of a somewhat extraordinary
character, and excited considerable interest. James
Turner, the witness alluded to, deposed that his father
was formerly a licensed victualler, and landlord of
the Fox, at Highgate-hill. He was the man who,
in 1537, saved her Majesty's life under the following etc-
cumetances:—On the 6th of Julyof that year the four horses
of the Queen's eamage. containing her Majesty and the
Priam Leiningen, took fright on the top of Highgate-hill,
and dashed down the steep. His father, at the risk of his
life, got the wheel horses by the head just in time to enable
her Majesty to jump out. On the following day droessed
attended Buckingham Palace, in answer to a summons from
Sir H. Wheatley, who gave him 101., and requested him to
put up the royal acme to commemorate the circumstance,
which he did at a cost of 20/. Witness said he was also in-
formed that her Majesty would always be his friend. He bad
since made constant applications to the Prince Consort. but
bad had no further recognition of his services. This so preyed
upon his mind that at lest he became au imbecile, and an
inmate of that workhouse. The coroner was of opinion that
her Majesty could not be aware of this, and the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Aocidental death."

B-
URNING OF THE BRISTOL SHIP Poem' QUERN.
—News has reached this city of the loss of the ship Forest
Queen, at Banco, Cubt The vessel it appears first ran on
• reef, and afterwards caught ere and was burnt to the
water's edge. In • letter which has been received by Mrs.
Moorehed, of Wellington-street, Cathay, from her husband,
who was one of the crew of the Forest Queen, some parti-
culars are given of the wreck. Mr. Moorehed lays :—" We
ran on shore on a reef of rocks, and the ship caught fire and
was burnt to the water. Eight of us got into a boat, which
upset' and only two of us were saved to tell the dreadfrt
tale. The six who were drowned were close to me, and
were crying in the agony of death for some one to wive them,
but I could not help them. There are nine of us saved, in-
cluding the captain's wife. We are iii the care of the
consul. —Western Daily Press.
DANORROUR STATE OF HOURMI IN PROXIMITY TO
Tea UNDRIIGROUND BAILWAY.—On Saturday morning •
rumour prevailed that there had been another extensive slip
in the excavationsprocesding for the construction of the
Metropolitan (Underground) Railway, and that in conse-
quence there had been • partial sinking, and that there
was great danger of several houses falling in the Euston-
road. It appears that the wall surrounding the lower house
on the north east side of Euston-road and square, known as
Russel House, had for the last day or two exhibited symp-
toms of cricking ; on Saturday morning all the compo split
into fragments, end there appeared evidences that it was
likely to give way, but by dint of shoring that result was
prevented. Lower down, at the corner of Charltonstreet,
there is an extensive coach factory, belonging to Mr. Biddle-
combs, built out from the house, over the forecourt to the
verge of the pavement, the walls of which have become so
much cracked as to be considered dangerous, and require
to be secured tompoturey, until the works, which are pro
ceeding very rapidly, are completed.
