A PILFERER'S DEATH.—Yesterday Mr. W. J.
Payne, the deputy-coroner of the City and Southwark, held
an inquest at the Vestry-room in Horselydown on the body
of John West, late a labourer at Fenning's-wharf, who
came by his death in a terrible manner. Daniel Crummings
stated that he was employed at Fenning's-wharf, and that
on Friday last deceased came to him and asked if a "drop"
could be got out of some casks which they both supposed
contained brandy or wine. They both had a "suck at the
monkey," as it was called, and while the witness was some-
what burnt in the inside by what he took, the other man
died in a few hours. Mr. Arkiess, the Customhouse gauger,
said the spirit in the cask sucked by deceased was pure Ham-
burgh spirit 66.8 over proof, and was, in fact, "liquid
fire." It was shown by the evidence of Mr. Lacey, a sur-
gedn, that death was caused by the collapse arising after
taking an acrid poison, and a verdict to this effect was re-
turned.
SALT.--The export of salt from the United King-
dom in the two months ending Feb. 28 this year amounted
to 37,701 tons, as compared with 58,231 tons in 1864, and
54,728 tons in 1863 (corresponding periods.) The exports
to Russia were 233 tons against 365 tons in the correspond-
ing period of 1864; to the 'United States, 8,578 tons against
11,547 tons; to British America, 2,449 tons against 1,222
tons; to British India, 10,144 tons against 23,284 tons ;
and to other countries, 16,295 tons against 21,813 tons.
There was thus a decrease this year in the exports in all
directions. The declared value of the salt exported to
Feb. 28 this year was £18,308 against £26,508 in 1864, and
£26,461 in 1863 (corresponding periods.)
THE LATE ACCIDENT To MR. HENRY HOARE.--
We are glad to learn that Mr. Henry Hoare (the well-known
banker), who recently met with a serious injury, while
travelling on the Great. Eastern Railway, is making a fav-
ourable recovery. The immediate result of the accident
was a concussion of the brain, attended with very grave
symptoms ; but we are happy to say, on the authority of
his medical attendants, that Mr. Hoare has now so far re-
covered as to be able to move about again. After such a
severe shock to the system, however, it is not considered
advisable that Mr. Hoare should engage in his ordinary
occupations for some time.—Sussex Advertiser.
MR. J. W. ANsoN's BENEFIT.--The annual
benefit of Alr. J. W. Anson, treasurer of the Adelphi
Theatre, has been fixed for Wednesday, the 3rd of May,
and following
evening. The claims of Mr. Anson upon
the public and the profession renders it a wise arrangement
to set aside two evenings for the occasion, because the
Adelphi Theatre on one particular night would certainly
be quite inadequate to accommodate the immense circle of
friends ho has secured by his urbanity and attention, Dlr.

SUMMER IN QUEENSLAND.—The North Australian
of Feb. 16 says—" We have all been complaining of the
excessive heat during the peesent season in Brisbane. It
may, however, be a comfort to some among us to know
that other people have been worse off than ourselves. A
friend from Condamine informs us that during last month
the thermometer never fell under 104 deg. Fahrenheit for
a whole week, and on severai occasions rose to 108 deg.'
The comet was visible every evening immediately aftox'
sunset, and was increasing in apparent size.

THE SCOTCH IRON TRADE.—GLASGOW, Mon-
day.--A conference of the masters' and workmen's
delegates was held this afternoon, when notes were com-
pared as to English prices. The masters agreed to with-
draw their former notices and reduce the wages of puddlers
6d. a ton instead of Is., and the wages of millmen 5 in-
stead of 10 per cent. The delegates accepted this compro-
mise, and their acceptance has been already confirmed by
the workmen of the Glasgow district.

STOPPING A TRAIN.—The Cincinnati Inquirer
states that on the evening of the 30th ult. a passen-
ger train on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was brought
to a stand a few mites from Cumberland, in consequence of
guerillas having removed two of the rails. There were some
200 passengers, none of whom seem to have been seriously
hurt by the sudden stoppage ; but about a hundred guerillas
immediately made their appearance, and relieved them of
some 30,000 dollars in money, besides watches and rings,
not to mention an exchange of hats and overcoats. Some
military officers in the cars were required to surrender. The
train was fired, with the exception of one car left for the
shelter of the ladies, the night being wet. The are, how-
ever, was soon extinguished, and a train procured from
QlllllberlaU4,
