PALL OF A HOUSE —NINE PERSONS WOUNDED.--
This morning, just before three o'clock, the most painful
anxiety was experienced in St. Giles's, in consequence of a
loud crash having been heard in Queen-street, which was
found to be occasioned through the failing in of the house
No. 27, the landlord of which was a man named Steward,
who let the house to various lodgers at a cheap rate. After
the dust had somewhat cleared away, some of the F divi-
sion of police, at all hazards, ventured through the remains of
the passage to the back of the premises, when they heard
faint cries for help. Shovels and pickaxes were soon ob-
tained, and by the great perseverance of thoss present, under
the direction of an inspector of the F division of police, nine
persons, males and females, were removed from under the
ruins to the surgeries in the neighbourhood; but they were
all so much more or less bruised, that it was found necessary
to convey three to Charing-cross Hospital, and the other six
to St, Giles's workhouse.

THE CASE OF THE SISTERS SHARPLEY.---011
Sa-
turday a petty session was holden at the board-room of
Marylebone Workhouse, before Mr. Trupp, county magis-
trate, to ascertain the state of mind of the Misses Julia and
Harriett Sharpley, the unfortunate ladies who attempted to
starve themselves to death consequent on their being reduced
to the most abject want. The ladies had been examined
professionally by Mr. Obr6, of Lisson-grove, surgeon, but
who expressed a strong conviction that, although upon some
points they were extremely obstinate in opinion and strong-
minded women, they were not insane; and he, therefore,
could not certify. Mr. Squires, the chief surgeon of the in-
firmary, held quite a different opinion. The Misses Sharp-
ley were brought before the magistrate, and on being in-
terrogated, stated in the most reasonable manner that they
refused public charity beeause there was a proper channel
from which they were entitled to relief as a right. 'They
both declared that, when they were reduced to their very
last resource, they themselves asked Mrs. Turner, their
landlady, to apply to the workhouse for relief. The Magis-
trate positively refused to sign the usual form for their re-
moval to a lunatic asylum, and they will now remain in
Marylebone workhouse, and be passed to their own parish,
Windsor, in due course,
DEATH OF SIR DIGBY MACKWORTH, BART.--
This Baronet, for many years known as Aide-de-camp to
Lord Hill, died on Friday last, at his seat, Glen Usk, county
of Monmouth, aged fifty-one. Sir Digby was a strong advo-
cate of Protestant principles, and in support of them he con.-
tested the representation of Liverpool in 1847. He also
contested Derby and other constituencies. The deceased
served throughout the Peninsular war, and was at the battle
of Waterloo. He is succeeded by his son Digby, a lieute-
nant in the 50th Foot. The family is of Derbyshire ex-
traction. Four Members acted as Esquires to the Black
Prince at Poictiers, and by a strange coincidence four of
their descendants acted on the staff of L9td Hill at Waterloo
