vict Discipline for the United Kingdom, and that Sir

zette.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.—This morning a frightful ac-
cident occurred to Mr. John Case, aged 45 years, No.
5, Meeting-house-lane, New Peckham, which is likely
to terminate fatally, under the following circumstances :
—The unfortunate man was standing on a stack of
chimneys, pouring water down to extinguish a fire, when
he accidentally Slipped, and fell headforemost into the
street, fracturing his skull in a horrid manner. He was
picked up from a pool of blood, and conveyed to Cor-
nelius Ward, Guy's Hospital, where Mr. Hilton, sur-
geon, attended by the medical staff, rendered every as-
sistance, but from the severe nature of the injuries
received, little hopes are entertained that he can live the
day out.
DEATH OF MR. COMMISSIONIR DANIELL.—On Tues-
day morning, Mr. Daniell, one of the commissioners of
the Court of Bankruptcy at Birmingham, expired sud-
denly at his residence Meriden-house. Hr presided in
his court last Thursday, in his usual health ; in the
evening he was driven home in an open vehicle, and
caught cold, but nothing serious was apprehended, and
appointments were fixed in his court for yesterday
morning ; but on Monday evening the symptoms be-
came somewhat alarming. Dr. Evans, of Birmingham,
was sent for, but shortly after midnight the learned gen-
tleman expired. He was appointed a bankruptcy com-
missioner by Lord Lyndhurst, when the act passed in
1842, and in that capacity he opened the court at Bir-
mingham. In private life the deceased was a kind-
hearted and a benevolent man ; he brought this feeling
to bear in administering the law in bankruptcy, and in
in his official capacity he gave complete satisfaction to
the profession and the public.
SURREY BACHELORS' BALL.—This annual assembly,
in aid of the funds Of the Walworth Literary and Scien-
tific Institution, was held on Monday, at the Whitting-
ton Club, Strand, when nearly five hundred lovers of
Terpsichore were present. The Hungarian Band attended
and performed some brilliant morceaux, with " Willikind
hys Polka," and "The Surrey Bachelors' Polka," com-
posed for the occasion. Mr. Frampton, M.C., was as
efficient as ever, whilst Messrs. Neeld, Toole, Nix, and
Noldwrith, the acting stewards, were indefatigable in
providing for the general happiness of their patrons.
The ball passed off with the most complete eclat, and we
understand that the Surrey Bachelors have thus raised
another liberal sum for the erection of a library and
reading rooms, on their vacant ground immediately ad-
joining the Walworth Lecture Hall
