ACCIDENT TO MRS H. FENWICK.—Mrs Fenwiok,
wife of Mr H. Fenwick, M.P., has met with a rather
serious accident, at her residence in London. She was dress-
ing for a ball, when a portion of her dress caught fire. Mr
Fenwick, hearing a loud shriek, rushed up stairs, and fofind
his wife enveloped in flames ; instantly throwing her down,
he succeeded, by using his coat, in extinguishing the fire,
but not until Mrs F. was severely burnt. For some days
afterwards she was in a critical state from the injuries re-
ceived by the shook which her system sustained. She is
now happily recovering, but it will probably be a month yet
before she is able to leave her room, and it is feared that
she will never be completely freed from the injuries she has
sustained,—Gateshead Observer,
