MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—AS some labourers
were • doing some repairs yesterday afternoon, on
the top of the Exeter Hall Hotel, one of the
vases accidentally fell into the Strand, and fractured
the skull of a respectable young man who was pass-
ing along at the time. On inquiring of Mr. Child,
the house-surgeon at Charing-cross Hospital,
at half-past six last evening, our re-
porter was informed that there was not
the slightest chance of his recovery, as his skull was
fractured in four places. He has. been quite insen-
sible since his admission to the hospital.
EARTHQUAKE IN STYRIA.—VIENNA, July 18.—At
10 minutes to six on the evening of the 13th inst. a
severe shock of earthquake visited the town of Pollan, in
Styria, and its environs. The shock was felt in a north-
westerly direction, and was accompanied by very strong un-
dulatory motions,which continued for about three seconds.
Another shock was experienced the next morning at a
quarter to 10 o'clock, but was weaker than that of the pre-
vious night. Shocks were likewise felt on the same day at
about the same time in Hartberg and Fehring. Three
shocks occurred on the 13th at two minutes past 6 in tho
evening at Furstenfeld, having a north-easterly- direction.
By the last 'of these, which followed each other in rapid
succession, the walls of several buildings, were cracked.— c•k ed

DIE SIAMESE FLEET. —The King of Siam has
just ord.'red the reorganisation of his fleet, and has decided
on ordering a corvette and four gunboats, all iron-cased,
to be constructed in France. These vessels are intended
to act against the numerous pirates which are incessantly
ravaging the coast of his territory. A few months back
these marauders appeared in the G
spreading alarm even as
far as the capital.
EXTENDED SUFFRAGE.—Mr. Lowe, M.P., in his
speech at Caine, said ironically of the elective franchise :
" Why stop at the ladies ? It was an old story in Greece
that Themistocles was governed by his wife, that his wife
was governed by the child, and that, therefore, the child of
Themistocles governed Gjeece. As children exercised so
potential an influence, why not give them a voice in the
representation? Only the ballot shod be applied lest
they should be subjected to the illegitimate influence of
their nurses."
Their Serene Highnesses Prince and Princess
Edward of Saxe-Weimar leave town to-morrow for Mol-
caul* the Duke of Richmond's cottage residence near
Goodwood, where the Duke and Duchess of Manchester
and a select party will stay during the next week.
