OF A THIEF.—
SINGULAR DEATH About half past
one o'clock this morning a man, whose name is unknown,
entered the first floor of the house occupied by Mr.
Jenkins, No. 4, Nassau-street, Soho, by climbing up the
water-spout. Mr. Jenkins, who was in bed in the ad-
joining room, was awakened by hearing the thief pack-
ing up some silver plate, and on entering the room where
the thief was, the latter jumped from the window, with
the intention of escaping by the projection over the door.
Unfortunately, he missed his footing, and fell with great
force on to the area railings, where he was completely
impaled. He, however, managed to extricate himself,
and ran as far as Hay's-court, where he was taken by
police-constable M'Bean, 182 C, who, observing blood
flowing from the man's person, conveyed him to the
Charing-cross Hospital, where he died in about an hour
after his admittance.
Sir William and Lady Tuyll and the Baroness
Von. Carpellan, were among the passengers that left
Blackwell yesterday morning, by the General Steam
Navigation Company's mail steam-ship
Ocean, for Rot-
terdam.

110 VA L NAVAL SCHOOL.
The anniversary festival of this institution was held
yesterday at the London Tavern, the Lord Mayor in
the chair. A very large party sat down to $
most excellent dinner shortly after six o'clock. Among
the company present we observed the Earl Wal-
degrave, the Marquis of Thomond, Lord Byron,
Admiral Sir J. Ommanney, Admiral Bowles, Ad-
miral Sir C. Midcolm, Captain Aldridge, Captain
Sweny, Captain Milne, Sir %V. Symonds. S. B. Carr,
Esq., J. Wilson, Esq., P. Legb, Esq., IL Mandeville,
Esq., the Rev. Dr. Mortimer, the Rev. J. Chambers,
head master of the school, &c.

The LORD MAYOR, who made a very forcible appeal
in behalf of the school, observed that he should be
happy to present a donation to its funds, but desiring to
stimulate in a right direction the energies of the youth-
ful mind, he hoped the council would allow him to give
a silver medal to commemorate the honour conferred
upon him in his being selected for the president of this
year's festival. The proposal was most warmly wel-
comed.

From the report of the scciety, which was dis-
tributed to the company present, it appeared that
the c)uneil had been enabled to carry on the
school during the past year without encroaching upon
the invested capital; and that, by the observance of the
strictest economy, the expenditure had been brought
Within the receipts. The expenditure had been consi-
derably diminished, but, on the other hand, the receipts
had also proportionately decreased, the balance at the
end of last year being 1901. Bs. sd.
A very handsome subscription-list was announced
in the course of the evening exceeding 5001., in addition
to her Majesty's contribution of 1001 The
list included the names of the Marquis of Tho-
mond, Lieutenant-Culouel Petit, 521. 10s.; Earl
Howe, 101.; the Rev. Lord De Saumarez, 5/; Admiral
Sir C. Ogle, 101.; Admiral Sir G. Seymour, 101.; Ad-
miral Lysaght, 21. ; Admiral Bowles, 51 ; Captain Sir
B. Walker, 51.; the Lord Mayor, 251; Rev. J. H. Fisk,
00/. 101.; the Master of the Temple, 51.; Mr. Neill Mal-
colm (tour nomination debentures), 100/. Some of the
smaller contributions elicited much applause, owing to
the impression that they came from men whose love
for the serviee induced them to be frugal in order to
render this aid ; one officer sent a day's pay."
Several gentlemen rose when the health of " the
former pupils" was drunk;' and it was said that three
of these gentlemen had taken first-class honours at Cam-
bridge, and a fourth had taken honours at Oxford ; two
pupils of the school also passed out first this year in
the examination for marine cadetships, and another
took the first mathematical scholarship in King's Col-
lege, London. As may be supposed, on such an occa-
sion, in the heart of the City, and with the Lord Mayor
in the chair, due place was given among the toasts to
" The Corporation of London ;" and Sir C. Malcolm,
in calling on Mr. Wood, the chairman of the finance
committee, to speak to the toast, expressed his hope
that the school would some day be laid under particular
obligations to him in his official capacity.
The business of the evening was enlivened by the
vocal performances of Miss Thornton, who, by the very
admirable manner in which she sang one of her sonrs.
" The Cavalier," elicited the greatest applause; Miss
Henderson, and Messrs. Jolly, Machin, and Young.
The whole entertainment was well conducted. Mr.
Higgs, as toastmaster, was attentive and efficient.
