THE RECENT COLLISION ON THE SHROFSHIO
UNION RAILWAY.—SHREWSBURY, THURSDAY EVENING
We regret to say that the injuries sustained by Mr. Thomas
Haughton, who was one of the sufferers by the collision
which occurred at the Donning+on Station on the Shropshire
Union Railway, terminated fatally yesterday. Mr. Haugh"
ton had sustained a fracture of the thigh, but his death iS
attributed to a severe contusion on the chest, which produced
extensive internal injury. An inquest was held this day at
the Crown Inn, Donnington, before R. D. Neville, Esq., one
of the coroners for Shropshire, and a very respectable PO
who, after having been sworn, proceeded to view the body ;
after which the inquest was adjourned until Wednesday
next, at half- past ten o'clock, in order that all the available
evidence might be collected in the meantime, so as to in-
sure the cause of the accident being thoroughly investigated.
The deceased was a mining agent or steward of the Earl of
Ellesmere, and came from Lancashire. Mr. Skey, Mr. Tre-
vethic, locomotive superintendent of the London and North-
Western Company, who have leased the line from the Shrop-
shire Union Company, and Mr. Beech, their manager, who
was in the tram at the time, and had a most wonderful
escape, attended. Mr. Potts, solicitor, of Chester, also Was
present, to watch the investigation on behalf of the London
and North-Western Company.
REMOVAL OF GOVERNMENT OFFICES —The Board
of Health, which has, since its establishment, been locate
at Gwyder House, Whitehall; has removed to offices in Pas"
liament-street, between the end of Richmond-terrace and the
end of Cannon-street. The premises are the first up some
steps after passing Richmond Terrace-gate, on the same side
of the way. The Poor-law Commissioners, who have for so
many years held their meetings and offices in one of the ctli,e;
partments of Somerset-bouse, have removed to erwY„,:e
House, Whitehall, vacated by the Board of Health.
various removals were occasioned by the former contemplated
arrangements with regard to the Inland Revenue-offices,
which were about to be removed from Old Bread-street :ono
time ago to Somerset-house; but the order was subsequently
countermanded a short time before the Government chaog.ew

Chancery since the' establishment of the Record and

May last inclusive. The number was 'thirty-two," -
which the usual fee was paid on 10, and for 22 no fee WO
paid, or which were issued by the said William Cobbett an

ROCHESTER CATHEDRAL SCHOOL.—The
NeWde-
gate prize for the best English poem, open to all the Wit"
verity of Oxford, has been adjudged to Mr. E. Arnold, ex-
hibitioner of University College, and a former pupil of• t d
Rev. R. Whiston, who was dismissed by the Dean an
Chapter of Rochester as utterly unfit and unworthy to be
the head-master of their school.
OUR NATIONAL DEFENCEs.—The erection 0f . the.
various forts for the protection of Milford Haven and the
royal dockyard at Pater is proceeding with considersb
vigour. The contractor, Mr. T. Jackson, has nearly cou.l
pleted the works on the Stack Rock, which stands exaonY
in the centre of the entrance to the haven, and has just re-
ceived instructions from the Ordnance to erect another fort 0?
Thorn Island, and also to make some important alterations i 1
the battery already constructed at Pater. It is understood
tbat Government will shortly proceed with other works of
similar character in the same neighbourhood, having already
purchased several pieces of land for that purpose. ,

The mercantile advices from Vienna of the Bth inst.
state that the favourable alteration in the rates of exchange
had been followed by a re-action, the quotation on having again risen from 11.59 to 12.7. In th
advance
in the shares of the Northern Railway, which about six
weeks ago were at 150, and had now reached 213. This
movement had been partly caused by the failure of another
speculative operator in addition to one who, after having sold
largely, refused a short time back to meet his obligations.
Gold was still at 29% premium, and silver at 21. Trade in
all parts of Germany continues bad, owing to the de-
pression in the districts which have been visited with
famine.

The accounts from Breslau state that the wool fair
which commenced on the 3d inst. had terminated after a
rapiod sale, during the whole of which the advance ob-
tained at the opening was fully upheld. This advance was
equal to 2d. to 3d. per lb. on fine, and 3d. to
4d. on ordinary descriptions. The French buyers
were the most active, and next to them the English
and Belgian. It appears that the total quantity brought
to market was 55,500 cwt., being a deficiency of 6,300 cwt.
as compared with last year, which also as compared with
the preceding one showed a falling off of like amount. This
coutinued diminution, coupled with the fact that the clip in
Austria for the present season has been 12 per cent. below
the previous one, was a circumstance that attracted atten-
tion. The other fairs which would take place in Prussia
during the month were expected to pass off well, as the wools
offered at them consist of those ordinary descriptions which
were most in demand at Breslau.
WOOLWICH, JuNE 11.—The 11th company of
Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Captain
Jervois, Royal Engineers, will leave Woolwich to-morrow
morning, and proceed by railway to Portsmouth, where they
will embark on board the steam-frigate Sampson, Captain
Lewis T. Jones, for Alderney, where they are to be employed
on the fortifications.
PROPOSED FURTHER RESEARCHES IN THE ARCTIC
REGIONS. —We are informed that it is the intention of the
Hudson's Bay Company immediately to dispatch Dr. John
Rae to the northern coasts of America, to complete various
discoveries in those regions. The gallant officer proceeds by
way of Chesterfield Inlet to Cape Nicolai—Sir James Ross's
farthest in 1831—thence to survey as far north as Cape Bird,
Sir J. Ross's farthest in lEso—thus to the complete North-
West Passage! Dr. Rae will also search vari us other
portions of those inhospitable shores, to set at rest many
conflicting statements, and add to our knowledge of the
country. The search for Sir John Franklin will, of course, be
a paramount object with Dr. Rae. Great credit cannot but
be given to the Hudson's Bay Company for their enterprising
conduct on behalf of science and for the sake of humanity.

SUPPOSED DISCOVERY OF PART OF THE PRESI-

A short time since a piece of the wreck of a large steam-
vessel, composed of 17 timbers, and measuring 25 feet square,
was towed ashore near Pennan, Banffshire, which was ascer-
tained beyond all doubt to have formed part of a large
steam-ship, and was conjectured to have been a piece of the

THE FIRE AT MESSRS. CLOWES'S.
The fire which broke out. in the premises of. Messrs--
W. Clowes and Sons', the printers of Duke street, Sterne
ford-street, Lambeth, repelled in this journal of yester-
day morning, was not entirely extieguishrd until last
evening. During the confusion which prevailed while!
the fire was burning, it was the opinion of the prill•
cipels of the firm that 100,000/. would not cover the
loss. As soon, however, as the ruins were sufficiently
cooled, a minute examination was made by the bri-
gade officials for the purpose of ascertaining correctly
the damage done, the result of which showed that
one leer, used as the typo store, and which contained
upwards cf 200 tons of type, some of the smallef
letter being worth 6s. per lb., had not received
near so much injury as was at one time ex-
pected, Mr. Clowes informed the reporter that the
whole of the white paper had been destroyed, as well
as the numerous printed and illustrated works in the
stores. The Religious Tract Society and the Society
for Promoting Christian Knowledge have both lost 6.
great quantity of property. The former was fully in-
sured; but it is at present unknown whether the latter
was protected by insurance or not. The rapid spread of
the fire may be to some extent accounted for from the,
fact of the poles in the drying-rooms being covered WWI
Jury Awards in sheets, and the instant the flames entered
this portion of the premises they rolled over the pleee
with the swiftness of electricity. In vain did the fire'
men endeavour to cut eff the fire from the other
portions of this property; so intense was the'
heat that the windows in the letter-founders'
casting shops were cracking and the frames were
scorching, so that it was necessary for the men to disc
charge the water upon the last-named premises to Pre":
vent their ignition. Had those buildings taken fire+
composed as they were of timber, it is doubtful whether
the flames could have been prevented from taking a clean
sweep through the whole of the composing and machine"
rooms. The hydraulic presses in the front warehouse
are also extensively damaged, if not entirely spoiled. Tl)°,
whole impression of the royal coition of the Illustrated
Catalogue, printed for his Royal Highness Priece
Albert and the Royal Commissioners, with the aver
tion of three or four copies sent to the Prince, have
been destroyed. Tho Thirty sheet Catalogue, except
those sheets sent to the hot-pressers,is 'likevvioe
burnt. The length of buildings destroyed is not more
than 90 to 100 Net. One part was three floors high,
whilst the front was not more than two stories high, be;
the basement contained something like 70 or 80 tong
of coals, a condderable portion of which took fire, and
added materially to the labours of the firemen. Notwith-
standing the large amount of property consumed it was Yee-
terday Mr. Clowes's opinion that. the total loss would be
under 50,000/., less by one-half than was expected the pre"
vious night. The total amount of insurances effected, e`
least as far as the surveyors to the fire-offices were able to
ascertain, was only 25,0001. The founders, compositors, and
e
pressmen resumed their employment yesterday morning, 5
that the business of the firm has only been temperarilY
re-
tarded for a few hours. Although a most searching iLIVe?
•
tigation was made, nothing could be learned as to the origin
of the misfortune.
