Loss OF LIFE IN THE RlVER.—Yesterday after-
noon an accident occurred, resulting in the loss of
two lives. A Greenwich steam-vessel had just left the
Tunnel pier when a small boat, containing three men, went
close under its bow. The captain immediately reversed the
engines, but the small boat was apparently unmanageable,
and getting close to the starboard paddlewheel, was upset.
Every assistance was rendered, but two of the men were
unfortunately drowned. The bodies have been recovered,
and await an inquest.
A BRIDE AND BRIDEGROOM IN A FIX..—On
Monday morning last a young man in the employ-
ment of Messrs. Pile, apouce, and Co., West Hartlepool,
led to the altar a young woman, a daughter of 10r,
M'Millan, of her Majesty's Customs, West Hartlepool,
The parents of the girl were averse to the wedding, and
had used every means in their power to prevent its con-
summation. The bridegroom was not to be frustrated,
however. The necessary arrangements were made, and
it appears the young man had consumed all his cash, for
he had to borrow a wedding ring before the nuptial
knot could be tied—which was effected in as secret a
manner as possible. Having managed so cleverly to
gain the object of his heart, he was determined to celebrate
the happy event by a general invitation among friends to
partake of the " social cup" and its varied accompaniments.
The question that naturally at once suggested itself was,
" how to raise the wind" to provide this festive entertain-
, ment, and a watch which the husband had in his
possession was handed to his better half, by whom it
was taken to Mr. Tweddle's, pawnbroker, Hartle-
pool, to obtain a sovereign on it, Mr. Tweddle per-
ceived the watch was one that he had information of as
having been stolen, and a borough policeman quickly had
the bride elect taken to the lock-up. She told the officer
her newly-made husband had given her it, and when the
guests were preparing to participate in the nuptial festivi-
ties, one of the county policemen apprehended the " happy
man," and placed him in a cell at West Hartlepool police-
station, where he involuntarily passed the night, and was
yesterday (Tuesday) brought before the bench, charged
with having iu his possession a watch belonging to Thomas
Cragg, master mariner, Stockton, who had it stolen from
his person in Victoria-terrace, West Hartlepool on the 25th
of August last. The prisoner was remanded until Satur-
day for the production of the owner of the watch.—lsietv-
castle C.712'012 icle.

EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE.—A singular allega-
tion of conspiracy was preferred against three
Dewsbury gentlemen, before the Huddersfield magistrates,
on Wednesday last. The defendants were charged with
agreeing to accept £5O from a man named Booth, on condi-
tion that a charge of felony brought against him should be
compromised. He afterwards denied the felony, and de-
clared that the money Was extorted from him under the
threat of a criminal prosecution. After hearing the evi-
dence, one of the defendants (Dr. Th, irnton) was discharged,
but the other two, an auctioneer and a town concillor, were
committed for trial at the assizes, being released in the
meantime on bail, The case against Booth stood over,
