MARRIAGE OF MISS VINCENT.
The marriage of this lady, the proprietress of the
Victoria Theatre, has been attended with the most
unhappy circumstances. She selected for her partner
in life Mr. Benjamin Crowther (late of Astley's), a
fine handsome young man of eight-and-twenty, who,
having seceded from Mr. Batty's Amphitheatre, was
starring in Mazeppa and other hippodramatic spec-
tacles at the Victoria. The courtship was but of
short duration, and the preliminaries for the wedding
soon arranged. The marriage took place on a Sa-
turday, at• Trinity Church, Carlisle-lane, Lambeth,
and the "happy pair"-left town immediately after the
ceremony- to 'spend the 4‘ honeymoon " at Brighton ;
but their happiness was soon disturbed, for on the
following ThtirsdaY, on- their return to their resi-
dence Bark ham-terrace, St. George's road (opposite
Bethlem Hospital), the bridegroom was seized with
a brain fever, attributed by his medical attendants
to over-excitement. It was reported at the time
that he was compelled to be placed under restraint in a
public institution. This was untrue. But, melancholy
to state, it is now the fact, Mr. Crowther is an inmate
of a private lunatic asylum at Peckham. The fever hay-
having subsided, he became in a low and depressed
state of mind, and at this time a settled melancholy per-
vadeS him, not withstanding the most eminent physicians
have been consulted, and every means adopted to
arouse him from his hypochondriacal position. Mr.
Crowther was for many years a member of the corps
dramatique of Astley's, and is much esteemed by a
large circle of professional and private friends. Miss
Vincent, on the demise of Mr. Osbaldiston, became
possessed of the Victoria Theatre, and likewise the
bulk of his fortune, whiCh was settled on her and hei
daughter, Miss _Beatrice °shelf:llBton, a young lady
about eighteen, independent of which Miss Vinceni
had realized a handsome, competency by her proles,
sional exertions. The affliction of her husband, as
may be imagined, is a source of great sorrow to he 4
and his family.—Sunday Paper.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE: OF TAE ROSS AND .r4DREST,
or DEAN BANK, AND 'LOS'S 013' Lux. On Saturday the
lire offices in the City received accounts from their agents at
Ross, in Herefordshire, 01 a calamitous fire occuring
that town the previons morning. by which the banking,
house of Messrs. J. W. and R. Hall, known as the Forest,
of Dean Bank, was utterly destroyed, besides the adjoining
houses being severely damaged. The bank was situated in
New-street, and the upper portion of the capacious premises
was occupied by the family of Mr.—Meeton, a partner. - The
fire was first discovered about four o'clock in the morning, the
inmates being aroused by persons in, the street, and they
found the staircase in flames from the bottom. Fortunately
for most of them some painters had been employed on the
premises, and had left one of their ladders against the front
of the house, by means of which they all managed with
much difficulty to reach the street, with the exception of
one of the female.domestics, a girl between 17 and 18 years
of age, who, HQ regret to state, perished in the flames. There
was a I'rge ancount'in gold and bank notes in the b.nk,
which, with the books of the firm, were in a fire-proof box,
and escaped. The body of the unfortunate sufferer has
been dug out of the ruins.

FATAL COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—A most
disastrous collision, resulting in the loss of a Dutch ship and
most of her crew, was announced at Lloyd's on. Saturday. It
took place on Friday morning, • in the Channel, off the Bill
of Portland. The Triton, Baker master, bound from Cardiff
to Bremen, was brought up 'in the Chissel Cove, a good
anchorage on that line of coast, and while in that position a
Dutch trader, name at present not correctly ascertained, but
belonging to Rotterdam, and bound to Liebau from Liver-
pool, in working up, ran with tremendous force into the
Triton, which was taken amidships. She sustained consi-
derable damage by the collision, and her escape from imme-
diate foundering may be deemed most providential. The
Dutchman was low in the water, and her hull receiving a
fearful shaking, she instantly began to fill. As quickly as
practicable, the Triton got clear of the Dutchman, and the
latter very shortly afterwards went down in deep water,
with (as was supposed at the time) every soul on board. It
has since been ascertained, however, that a pilot-boat from
Portland succeeded in pieking up the masterand•his brother,
but the remainder of the unhappy creatures who comprised
the crew, some sib or seven, perished. After great difficulty
the Triton, by the aid of a boat's crew from Bridport, was
got into that harbour. The Dutchman is stated to have
been insured.

COMIC SINGING.—Mr. Holding, an Irish comic
singer of genuine humour and talent, has been lately giving
some musical entertainments at the Surrey side of the water.
The rich Milesian-accent and stock of mirthful songs pos-
sessed byllr. Holding constitute him a valuable acquisition
to any of the metropolitan harmonic establishments.

PARISH OF CLERKENWELL.—An exciting contest,
of three days' duration be -taken place in this parish, for
the office of vestry clerk. At the final close of the poll on
Saturday, the nutnbers were— for Mr. Wakeling, solicitor
(who had served the office for 10 years), 1,4 t 5 ; for Mr.
Marsh (a non-professional wan), 1,265 ; for Mr. Wilkin, so-
licitor, 170; majority for Mr. Wakeling over Mr. March, 150.
The votes of the rate-payers in the parish number 8,000.
Two GREAT BORES.—The " Er glishinan" in the
Times, and " Juhil Ball Blick*in the Herald.

It is a fact, worthy of record, and one which argues
strongly in favour of the salubrious air of Chelmsford, that of
