FRIGHTFUL IMPALEMENT AND. DEATH OP A Lira"
Giran.—On Saturday morning, between eight
,and nine
o'clock,. an. accident 'of a most frightful descriptin, which
ended; fatally, occurred in the family of Mr.. Jones, $
gentleman residing at No. 49, Rutland-street, Warwick'
square, Belgravia. It appears the nursery maid left the
children for a few minutes, when one of them, 'a beautiful
little girl named Margaret, about three years. of age'
climbed upon a chair which was near the windw,', and on
reaching some flowfrs outside? she overbalanced'. herself
n. and. fell upon the iro rail's of the front area literalli
being impaled.. The frightful occurrence was witnessed hi
some men at work at some new buildings opposite, who
extricated the unfortunate child, and she was conveyed to
the surgery of Mr. Davis, of Warwick-street, but so dread"
ful were the injuries received that she expired in about ten-
minutes.

THE 'TENDERS FOR THE AITSTRALINN MAILS.—The dew
cision on the tenders sent in for the Australian mail selvice
by the Panama route has not yet been made, and we Miec,B
there is ground for supposing that it may be delayed unti
after the inquiry of the select committee of the House
Commons. on postal contracts has been concluded. Ifo
understand that seven tenders were sent in ; among,lst others
by the Peninsular and Oriental, the Cunard, and the Royal
Mail Companies ; by Messrs. Croskev, and Messrs. ,eymeurt
Peacock, and Co., and Messrs. Howard and Lever. With
the exception of the latter, the other parties are prepared to
build steamers of great size and power, especially for the
service. Messrs. Howard and Lever would undertake t°
contract at once, but there is little doubt 'that there are 12°,
steam vessels at present available which could be expected
to perform so long and difficult a run as that from Sydnei
to Panama with any hope of a satisfactory result.

LAMARTINE'S COTTAGE rode out yesterday 0,
see the little species of cottage farm that the town council
of Paris has given to Lamarqine, It is as Yet a rambling
sort of edifice, but when half of it shall be pulled down
(which workmen are now busy upon), it will be a pretty
little place enough, and the greatest poet of modern Franco
(one of the greatest of modern ages) may retire there to t
pleasant half-solitude, that even his best friends may thin:
of with satisfaction. The land is bad (or else it wool;
probably never have been made a present of), but I shield
think cabbages and potatoes are not exactly the produce the
lover of "Eloise" will ask from his garden, and the fed
trees round it give it a cool, shady, sequestered air, that i 5
charming in this broiling weather. It nestles just under
the princely plantations of La Muette, where Madame D;',
Barry once "sat enthroned," reigning over "La Fiance,
as she was wont to style Louis XV., and where the ,widoo
of the late Pierre Erard, the pianoforte-maker, now dwells.
All the shade and all the perfumes of the once royal resi-
deuce are gratuitously poured forth upon a seemingl
humbler neighbour, and the nightingales of La Muette
send forth their heavenly strains unconsciously to the ear
of as glorion.a master of song as themselves,---Pari4 Coffer
