was on duty in Victoria-park, Bonner's-fields, and dis-
covered the body of a female, about 14 years of age,
floating in. the ornamental water of the enclosure. There
were marks on the face, and her eyes were blackened
from external violence. The police of the K division
have made inquiry, and, from information they have re-
ceived, the deceased is alleged to have been grossly ill-
treated and neglected.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL BREWERY, BRENT-
FORD.--OR Tuesday evening a fatal accident occurred at
the Royal Brewery, Brentford, owing to the fall of a
portion of a wall enclosing a piece of waste ground ad-
joining the brewery. Outside the wall an alley runs
down to the Thames, and of five or six children who
were playing there two were killed. A third was buried
beneath the rubbish, but was sheltered in some way, and
crawled out uninjured. The accident was caused by the
fall of some recently built arches which rested against the
wall.
DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE.---The annual contest
from London-bridge to Chelsea for Doggett's Coat and
Badge took place yesterday, and was one of the best
races seen for many years past. The start was well ar-
ranged, and after a spirited contest, Henry Jas. White,
of Mill Stairs, Bermondsey, was declared the winner of
the principal prize by nearly 100 yards. Thos. Adcock,
St. George's Stairs (second), and William Ling, Tower
Stairs (third), received respectively 41. 10s. and 21. 14s.
from a fund provided for the purpose. The other com-
petitors also received small sums from the Fishmongers'
Company, who, in addition, after the race, regaled the
whole of the men with a substantial repast.
THE CITY OF LONDON BURIAL BOARD.—Yesterday,
at a court of the City Commission of Sewers, a discus.
sion took place upon the memorial of the Archdeacon of
London, and certain of the clergy, to be placed upon
the Burial Board of the said city. The question had
been referred to the commission by the Court of Com-
mon Council, and the commissioners, who form the
Burial Board, seemed to consider that the application
came late, seeing that they had been in existence as such
for three years, and it was rather extraardinary that,
just as they had completed all the works of the ceme-.
tery, the memorialists should, for the first time, ex-
pre i a wish to become members of the lioard. For
these and other reasons, the commissioners came to a
unanimous resoultion not to comply with the application
of the memerialists.
A special meeting of the company of Copper fliners
in England was held yesterday, to elect a governor in
the place of Sir John Dean Paul, who has resigned.
The deputy-governor, Sir J. H. Pelly, was unanimously
appointed to fill the vacancy, several of the proprietors
taking the opportunity of adverting to the services he
has rendered the undertaking, especially in its re-organ-
isation. Mr. George Gay was subsequently elected
deputy-governor, and Mr. G. 11. Pownall, one of the
assistants, to supply the vacancy occasioned by the ele-
vation of Mr. Gay. It was mentioned, in reference to
the failure of Messrs. Strahan, Paul, and Bates, that
the claim of the company against the estate does not
exceed 1,0171. The Court of Assistants hold possession
of some shares, the private property of Sir John Dean
Paul, but a doubt is entertained if they constitute a
security available against the firm. The general prospects
of the company aro stated to be favourable, the advance
in iron having given an impetus to their works. With
regard to the circulation of the accounts previously to
the periodical meetings, it was stated that the directors
will give the question their best consideration, and en-
deavour to comply, if possible, with the wishes of the
proprietors.
