DEATH OF ALD. ARCHBOLD.—We regret to have
to record the death of James Archbold, Esq., one of the
Justices of the Pt ace for this borough, and an Alderman
of the Corporation, which took place at his house on
Tuesday. A contemporary says:—" Few men have spent
a more active and useful life in the ♦arious public offices
which it has been his;lot to fill, whether corporate, ma-
gisterial, or parochial, or connected with the charitable
institutions of the town, and few have been more conspi-
cuous for the correct discharge of the duties and chari-
ties of a more private and domestic character. The
deceased became a member of the old corporation at a
very early age, and continued one of the body up to the
period of its dissolution; and when the Municipal Reform
Act came into operation, his fellow-townsmen were not
unmindful of his past services, and elected him one of
the new body. He was more recently elected an alder-
man, and served the office of Mayor in the year 1846-7,
when his great hospitality and the efficient and attentive
manner in which he discharged the important duties
which devolved upon him, as chief magistrate of the bo-
rough, rendered him extremely popular." Mr. Arch-
bold was never married, and leaves an only and deeply
attached sister to deplore his loss.—Newcastle Guardian.
[ADYERTISEMENT.]—Ringworms, Scorbutic Affec-
tions, and other Skin Diseases, Curable by Holloway's
Ointment and Pills.—ln the East Indies, diseases of the
skin are very prevalent among the natives, and Hollo-
way's Ointment and Pills have been most sucessfully
used in a variety of cases. The Editor of the Mofussilite
instances that of a Coolie employed in his establishment,
who was " afflicted with myriads of Ringworms which
defied all the Meerut doctors, and promised to devour
the poor man, before he was even under ground." Hol-
loway's Pills and Ointment were then tried, and in a
month he was perfectly restored to his former healthly
condition and cleanliness of skin. Sold by all Druggists,
and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand,
London.

Two DESTRUCTIVE FIRES IN BETEINAL-GREEN.—
On Saturday last two serious fires broke out in the pa-
rish of Bethnal-green, which were both attended with
considerable destruction of property. The first occurred
upon the premises of Mr. Charles Long, a cabinet-
maker, No. 112, Church-street. The flames originated
in the workshops at the rear of the dwelling-house.
The engines of the parish, London Brigade, and West
of England Company having been sent for, they at-
tended with all possible expedition, when the firemen
found the entire range of workshops and all they con-
taint d in flames. In spite of the most strenuous ex-
ertions of the firemen, Mr. Long's workshops were
totally destroyed, the back window sashes of the
dwelling burned out, and the furniture extensively
damaged by fire. The house, No. 111, in the same
street, belonging to Mr. Robert Clement, corn- chandler,
and No. 113, in the tenure of Mr. Joseph Newport, are
also materially damaged by fire, water, and the hasty
removal of furniture. How the fire commenced is at
present unknown.—The second fire broke out at noon in
a large store, about 60 feet long, belonging to Mr. Thos.
Phillips, a corn-chandler, in Ann-street, Pollard's-row.
The building was filled with hay, straw, and clover,
which proved ;such a powerful auxiliary to the flames
that very speedily the place was on fire from end to end.
The parish and other engines attended, and owing to the
abundant supply of water, the firemen were enabled to
confine the flames to that portion of the property in
which they originated; not, however, until the premises
were burned down. Mr. Phillips, who will be a serious
loser, was not insured for a single penny.
STRIKE OF THE COLLIERS OF WIGAN AND THE
NEIGHBOURHOOD —A large number of colliers assembled
in the Scholes on Friday morning, for the purpose of tak-
ing some steps advance their pre sent rate of wages, or
otherwise to stint their labour to two or three days a
week. About twelve o'clock at noon some two or three
hundred of them paraded the streets, accompanied by
band of music, and carrying three large flags bearing the
motto of " United we stand, divided we fall." A meet-
ing of the masters was expected to take place at the
Royal Hotel yesterday afternoon, and if no arrangement
is come to, it is the intention of the colliers to give in
their notices to-day.—Preston Chronicle.
EXECUTION OF JAMES KELLY, AT KIRKDALE.--
It is little more than four months since it was our pain-
ful duty to announce a public execution at Kirkdale.
On Saturday, however, James Kelly, a young man,
aged only twenty-four years, who pleaded guilty at the
last assizes to having, at Stockport, cut the throat of his
sweetheart, Elizabeth Faulkner, a co-worker in the
same mill, forfeited his life to the offended laws. On
the night before execution, Kelly, we understand, was
restless and disturbed. He took his supper, however,
and also his breakfast next morning, with the usual
relish, and declared to the governor of the gaol that even
if he had the offer of a reprieve, so seriously was his con-
science tormented, that he could not think of accepting
it.—Liverpoel Albion.

A serious acident from the escape of gas occurred
on Friday evening at Clarence House, the town real•
deuce of her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, by
which the housekeeper and a footman were much in-
jured. A charwoman in attendance on the housekeeper
was conveyed to the hospital, her injuries being more
dangerous than those sustained by the others. The ac-
cident took place in the china closet, where gas is in con-
stant use.
