LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT THE LAKES.—Lord John
Russell presided unexpectedly at the opening of a small
SCIIOOI in the district of the Lakes on Thursday last. His
Lordship's arrival at the Lowood Inn, on Windermere,
having become known to the Rev. W. Hodgson, that gen-
tleman requested his presence on the interesting occasion.
Ilia Lordship with great kindness complied, and arrived in
the afternoon, accompanied by Lady J. Russell and
family, at the schoolhouse, which is situated in a ro-
raautic locality, among the mountains, and is built
at the sole expense of Mr. G. Redmayne. A. large
Party of the neighbouring gentry were present, and,
after a brief statement by Mr. Hodgson of the cir-
cumstances under which the school was erected, and
an address by the Rev. Canon Miller, of Birmingham,
on the advance and prospects of English Education,
Lord John Russell addressed the assemblage at some
length, and referring to an allusion made by Mr. Miller
to the preisence of the widow of the lamented Dr. Ar.
told, whose residence is in the immediate neighbour-
hood, concluded by a warm tribute to the doctor's me-
Mory, and with the expression of an wish that
the bitterness of party spirit might no longer impede the
progress of education.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—GALLANTRY OF A SEAMAN.—
Last evening, a few minutes before eight o'clock, as one
of the London and Westminster steam-boats was leaving
the pier at Westminster-bridge, a female, apparently
labouring under the effects of liquor, threw
herself into the river. A seaman, named George Davis,
lately arrived from the East Indies, who happened to
be on board at the time, immediately threw off his coat,
jumped into the water, and caught the drowning woman
in his arms. Assistance having been rendered, the
woman was conveyed in a boat to the shore, and taken
-by the police to the station-house. It deserves to be
mentioned that this is the third time that this gallant
seaman has had the happiness to save the life of a
fellow-creature.
ANOTHER EXTENSIVE FIRE AT A FACTORY.—On
Saturday afternoon a destructive fire broke out amongst
some small houses in a very densely-populated neigh-
bourhood, known as Pepper-street, near Gravel-lane,
Southwark. Tile fire originated in the picture-frame
factory of Mr. Scratchley, the men belonging to
Whom, it was stated, had gone to dinner. Hundreds
of inhabitants soon assembled on the spot to assist in
removing the furniture of the persons residing
near it. From the nature of the stock the flames
spread very rapidly. The Christ-church parochial
engine and those of the brigade soon arrived, and,
having been set in operation, in two hours all further
danger ceased ; but the entire factory, stock, tools,
4c., were consumed.
SOMERSETSHIRE CENTRAL RAILWAY. -- This line,
Which forms a junction with the Bristol and Exeter
railway, was formally opened on Friday last for traffic.

tly's return to Ireland in renovated health in a few

interval, to complete his recovery, and he is gone to
Flanders and Germany—the former, the country in r
ope which has had the closer connection with Ire-
land, Douay, Louvain, and Fontenoy bear witness ;
nd the latter, interesting to Ireland at present from its
free
tenures, peasant proprietors, and inustrial organi:-
eation.
