STEAM Bo &T EXPLOSION.—On Friday evening
last, about seven o'clock, the steam-boat Clarence, when on
her passage from Helensburgh to Glasgow, and as she
stopped at Erskine Ferry to receive passengers, was totally
disabled, in one moment, by the bursting of her boiler. Pro-
videntially for the passengers and crew the explosion took
place at the bottom of the engine ; had it been otherwise,
or had it occurred in any other direction, there is little doubt
that many of them would have been hurried into eternity,
and few, if any of them, would have escaped dreadful inju-
ries. But several of the passengers had their clothes da-
maged, and the whole of them, as may easily be conceived,
were thrown into a state of the greatest alarm.—Edinburgh
Evening Courant.
Letters from Rangoon communicate the intelligence
of the death. of his golden-footed Majesty the King of
Ava. The event is said to have been followed by civil com-
motions, and the country is represented to be in a most dis-
turbed state. Trade was stopped, and communications be-
tween the capital and Rangoon were entirely suspended.
The British and foreign merchants were seized with con-
sternation and dismay at the imminent danger which
threatened an immediate alienation of their property.
Were it not for the powerful influence of the British Re-
sident, they would have been deprived of all that they
earned during many years of toil and trouble. Colonel
Burney's name is a sufficient passport for protection both of
life and property in these eventful days of anarchy and
confusion.—Calcutta Paper, April 16.

BURNING OF THE MEDWAY STEAMER.—
Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the adjourned inquiry
as to the cause of the death of Mr. Robert Mawrer, a pas-
senger on board the Medway steamer, was resumed, before
the Coroner and Jury at the Town-hall, Gravesend. After
hearing the evidence at length, the Jury returned the fol-
lowing verdict :—" That R. Mawrer was accidentally
drowned while endeavouring to save himself from the Med-
way steamer, when on fire, the cause of such fire being
unknown to the Jurors, and there being no evidence to
prove how it occurred."
It was Dr. Simon, of Exeter, and not Dr. Sey-
mour, who ascended in the Nassau balloon from Vauxhall
Gardens on Monday last.
A good deal has been said pro and con in the news-
papers respecting the recent marriage of Lord Lyndhurst
with Miss Goldsmid. A correspondent suggests that even
in his family arrangements his Lordship has shown his fond-
ness for, and sympathy with, rats, as before Mr. Lewis Gold-
smid (now Lord Lyndhurst's father-in-law) obtained a pen-
sion from the Tories, he had written a violent republican
work, under the title of The Crimes of Cabinets.—Courier.
The name of the individual is not Goldsmid, but Gold-
smith. We should think the name of Lewis Goldsmith
sufficiently notorious. He was not a stockbroker, but a
notary. "He is not a Jew," says the Times. He is a Jew.
He is a Hamburgh Jew by nation ; and married a Jewess,
who went to Synagogue till her death. His two daughters—
Eliza and Georgiana (Lady Lyndhurst), are new converts
to Protestantism. Mr. Lewis Goldsmith is an attache of
the Foreign Office. He first published a truculent repub-
lican work against Kings and Priests, entitled the Crimes
qf Cabinets; next a libel on the Buouaparte family, and on
all the Liberals in Europe, entitled Cabinet of Buouaparte ;
thirdly, a calumnious ultra Tory print called the Antigallican,
in which he abused his present employers. Such is Lord
Lyndhurst's father-in-law.

The Marquises of Ailesbury and Salisbury, the
Earl of Clarendon, Lords Saltoun, Castlereagh, Sir Andrew
Barnard, Sir W. H. Fremantle, all of whom are sharehol-
ders or renters of the English Opera-house, recently came
to the resolution of voluntarily relinquishing the dividends,
or any claim to them, for the ensuing seven years, in order
to relieve the theatre from some of its incumbrances.
There are 70 debentures of 250/. each in this theatre, but
the holders of many of these bonds have, it is understood,
refused to forego their claims, or to be bound by the reso-
lutions of the above named distinguished shareholders.

Judging from the quantity of grouse at the poul-
terers', sportsmen fond of the amusement must have abun-
dance of sport. Grouse are even publicly hawked about
in the streets in good condition, at 3s. and 3s. 6d. per brace.
One of the means resorted to in canvassing the
county of Middlesex by Mr. Wood's agents, was represent-
ing him to be the celebrated Alderman. In canvassing one
voter, he told him he must vote for Wood, he was such a
good man, he had been three times Lord Mayor of London.
Mr. John Childs, of Bungay, who is well known by
his resistance to church-rates, is endeavouring to get up
.a
county meeting on the subject of the ballot. He has this
week published an address to the farmers and middle
classes of Suffolk, in which, after noticing " the iniquities
of Norwich and Ipswich," he declares that the present is
the most favourable time for petitioning " foran alteration
of the suffrage, and a secure mode of exercising it." He
calls upon the electors to assemble after harvest at one of
the towns of Suffolk, as shall be most convenient to the
greatest number, and lay their opinions before the new Par-
liament, and the Suffolk Chronicle says the call will be cor-
dially responded to.
During the last few days the family of Mr. Charles
Preston, Melton-place, Euston-square, have been thrown
into a melancholy state of despondency, in consequence of
the unaccountable absence from home of their eldest son, a
fine youth, aged fourteen. He is described as having been
dressed in a blue jacket and white trousers; and, as no rea-
son whatever can be assigned for his having left his home,
it is supposed he has met with some fatal accident.
Yesterday morning information was received in Lon-
don by express, at the head fire-station, in Wading-street,
that a most destructive fire was raging in the village of
Hockliffe-in-the-Hole, five miles on the other side of Dun•
stable, in Bedfordshire. At the time the messenger left
Hockliffe, a number of houses were on fire. The extent of
damage is not for the present known, nor in what manner it
originated.
