FATAL ACCIDENT AT SEA..— An inquest was held
yesterday, before T. F. Curry, LEsq., on the body of
Angelo Chizileri, a-seaman on board the screw steam-
ship City of Washington. From the evidence of one of
the'deceased's shipmates,- it appeared that &zing the
voyage a heavy sea-struck the ship with such violence
as to throw the deceased against a large,bar of iron,
thereLy causing injuries of which the deceased died
shortly after his arrival in• Liverpool. •A.-Ncrdict of
accidental death waslreturned. _

TILE FOG ON Tun AlavEr..—There was a .dense .fog
en the river yesterday, and the ferry traffic -was much
impeded, but there were no accidents of any kind. It
was a 'most fortnaate 'circumstance that the •river was
clear.of shipping, or some serious elisaster might have
oceureed. Some regulation for the prevention,. of the
over-crowding of the ;:Woodside .Iboats was .palpably
neeesertry; and them were numerous inquiries amongst
gentlemen on the Woodticle3 slip .vilay the services of the
police had not been seenred, as was the case during the
latter part of the foggy season in spring.
WELSH RIFLE CoreePANT...—We ,ere extremely I.lad
to hear that the Welshmen in LiveTp.sel are, with.their
proverbiakpatriotism, rapidly orgamang a body of sae
-
men in connection with the Liverpool'Volunteer Artil-
lery and Rifle Brigade. We call" it a body, because it
is expected that it will consist of seveml companies, a
result the more probable of attainment when we eBll-
- that there are 70,000 Welsh residents in Liver-
pool, all of whora are interested in the presperity of the
town. We hope the desires of :the gentlemen exerting
'themselves in the admirable movement will be grati-
fed by seeing the complete suceess of their efforts ;
and, as oar Scottish brethren are already:in the field,
,the sons of Cambria should be up and doing.

THE THE REV. ARTHUR MURSETA.—This talented gen-
tleman delivered a lecture on the " Ancient Britons"
at Hope Hall last night. Though the title of the lee-
ture was not such as to promise a very amusing or,
indeed, entertaining discourse, we, nevertheless, felt
sure that with Marsell for a lecturer, the audience
could not but be numerous. The anticipation proved
correct, as on entering the hall about the beginning of
the lecture, we found it quite impossible to obtain
a seat, and it. was not without some difficulty
that we succeeded in obtaining.a comfortable standing
position. The lecture was principally occupied in a his-
torical narration of the events in connection with the
Roman invasion; and if the main object of the lecturer
was to place before his hearers a mere narration of the
authenticated facts concerning that somewhat obscure
period of English history, the lecture was a realisation
of that idea ; further than this we, in conunni we pre-
sume with the majority of the audience, failed to per-
ceive any of that eloquende or ability which we -gene-
rally feel sure of recognising in a popular lecturer. At
the conclusion of the lecture the chairman offered some
brief remarks, after which the numerous aidience dis-
persed.
