DEATH OF THE BISHOP OF BATH AND WELLS.—Vir
regret to have to announce the demise of the above vene •
rable prelate, which took place on Monday at Brighton,
after an illness of considerable duration. The deceased,
the Hon. and Right Rev. Richard Bagot, third son of
the first Lord Bagot, was born in 1782, and married in
1806 Lady Harriet Villiers, daughter of the Earl of Jer-
sey, by whom he leaves a nwmerous family.
THE LATE STABBING CASE AT NORWOOD.—Yesterday
morning, from inquiries made at Guy's Hospital, it WO
ascertained that John Barton was still in a very weak
state from the loss of blood, but great hopes were enter.
tained of his ultimate recovery, the wounds not being s°
deep as it was at first anticipated. One of the assailants
has been apprehended, and remanded until the fate of
the unfortunate man is known.
A MAN KILLED ON THE LONDON AND EPSOM RAIL
WAY.—Yesterday morning Mr. W. Payne received ie"
formation of the death of John Allen, guard of the Lon-
don and Epsom Railway, who resided at William's
Cottages, Kendre-street, New Cross, Deptford, who eIE"
pired in the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, from the
effects of severe injuries caused by a ballast train knock'
ing him down and crushing him in a dreadful manner.
AMSTERDAM AND ROTTERDAM PRODUCE-MARKETS.-
The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam produce-markets state that business was rather le"
active. A diminution in the demand for coffee bad oc-
casioned a slight decline in prices. Sugar, raw and re-
fined, was steady. In rice the operations had been
limited, and quotations were lower. The previous rates
of tea were maintained, although the purchases had boa'
inconsiderable.

THE SCREW STEAMER SIMLA.— SOUTHAMPTON, Tue."
day, May 16.—The steamer Iberia, which arrived Oil
morning, brought no news of the disabled steam-slO
Sitnla, spoken on the 9th instant off Vigo. It is there-
fore supposed that this vessel had been enabled to
reach Gibraltar, and would thence continue her voyage,
to Malta and Alexandria. With reference to the fact of
no spare screw being on board the Simla at the titne of
the accident. We are informed that the ship must be
docked to unship the broken propeller and to fix the nevi
one ; and, as there is no dock in the Mediterranean sag:
ently large to admit so long a vessel, the Simla must
return to Southampton before anything can be done, and
thus the spare screw at Southampton is kept where
it will be most readily available. The portion of the
one blade left after the fracture is stated to be sufacient
to carry the ship along at the rate of three knots an hour,
and it is hoped, therefore, that the ship, with the ad-
ditional aid of her canvass, may be enabled to reach
Malta, whence the mails can be taken on to Alexa,ndria
by the Vectis or Valetta. The reason why no ship hao
been despatched to assist the Simla is, that the cornpani
imagine that no useful end can thereby be attained. It
is a matter of great regret that the accident should bar
fallen on the steamer conveying the Australian mails
outward, particularly as the delay may also effect
the homeward mail from the same quarter, suppos-
ing them to come up to Suez in time to meet this
steamer. The Chusan, however, it appears, was late in
getting away with the last Australian mails from Sings,:
pore, and she may not have left Sydney at the appointed
date, in which case the Ceylon steamer may be missed,
and the mails will not reach Southampton till about the
16th of June,
