Yesterday forenoon an investigation took place at
the Ton n-hall, Gravesend, relating to the fire which hap
pened on Sunday last on the estate of Mr. Baker, a magis-
trate, at Chalk. From circumstances that transpired after
the alarm and danger had subsided on Sunday, suspicion
fell on a servant lately discharged by Mr. Baker. A war-
rant was placed in the hands of one of the county constables,
and yesterday morning he was conveyed to the Town-hall,
and placed before the Mayor of Gravesend and William
Bevan, Esq., two justices of the peace for the county. The
only circumstances of suspicion against him were, that since
his discharge he had been several times heard to speak in
unfriendly terms of his master. The magistrates thought
there was evidence enough to justify them in detaining him,
and he was remanded for further examination.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT WHITBREAD'S BREW-
ERY.—Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, a man of the
name of Young was killed instantaneously within Messrs.
Whitbread's brewhouse, in Whiteeross-street. He was
rolling sonic casks of beer, when one, which was being
hauled up into the warehouse, by the crane, fell upon him
and caused his death.

Yesterday morning, about twenty-five minutes to
five o'clock, Simnel William Lauring, aged thirty-five
years, expiri in Guy's Hospital, from the effects of the
bite of a dog in a rabid state, which he received about a
month since. It. appears that the deceased was a fish-
monger, and resided in Widegate-alley, Bishopsgate-strcet-
without. As he was returning home one night he tumbled
over a scraper, when the dog in question flew out of the
doorway and bit him slightly in the hand. He paid co
particular attention to the wound, which, although very
painful at times, quickly healed. On Sunday morning,
while sitting at breakfast, he was seized, while attempting
to swallow a fluid, with a peculiar affection of the muscles
of the throat, and a convulsive tremor of the whole system.
He rapdly grew worse, and, accompanied by his wife, went
to the hospital. He was then perfectly sensible, capable of
walking steadily, and apparently in ordinary good health ;
but as he was being shown into one of the wards he sud-
denly encountered a current of air from the opening of an
opposite door, and was instantly assailed by a most violent
and long continued paroxysm of this dreadful malady. His
peculiar affection being determined beyond all manner of
doubt, he was promptly attended to by Dr. Addison, the
head physician of the establishment ; but all professional
skill was of no avail. After the endurance of the extreme
of human suffering, he expired at the time above men-
tioned. The deceased's family are totally unprovided for.
An inquest will be forthwith held on the body. This is the
second instance of the loss of life at this hospital from
hydrophobia within four days.
Last night, an inquisition was taken at the Prince's
Head, Prince's-street, Westminster, before Mr. Higgs and
a respectable Jury, on the bodies of Michael Donovan and
John Handley, the labourers, who unfortunately lost their
lives by the late accident at the coach manufactory of
Messrs. Vidler and Co., Millbank. John Smith deposed
to being superintendent of the works now going on at
Messrs. Vidler's ; they were digging a foundation for a
new shop on the premises, and on Friday afternoon last,
about ten minutes to four, witness was in the foundation
along with the deceased men, giving orders, when he ob-
served the wall coming down ; he instantly cried out for the
men to take care, and pulled one of them by the arm ; he
was, however, knocked down himself, but not hurt. On
rising he saw the wall down, and the poor men partly bu-
ried in the ruins ; he immediately ran to their assistance,
and found them covered with blood. The wall parted the
premises of Messrs. Seagar and Evans ; it was about 25
feet high, and on the other side there were a quantity of
bags containing juniper berries, which appeared to have
pressed against it. There had previously been a roof at-
tached to the wall, but it had been taken away without in-
juring the strength of the wall. The foundation in which
the deceased men were at work was above 16 feet from the
wall, and had not the slightest connection with it. The
Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Acci-
dental Death.

On the 18th September, at a meeting of iron
masters, a farther advance of bar-iron took pace of 20s. per
ton. The lowest price at the Welsh works is now 9/. per
ton.—Cambrian.
