DSTRESSING AND FATAL EFFECTS OF IN-
TOXICATION.—Last night the neighbourhood of Drury-lane
was thrown into a state of great alarm, in consequence of a
woman having been killed at No. 21, Short's-gardens, Drury-
lane. It appears that the:deceased and a woman named Fare-
brother had been drinking all day ; on their return a quarrel
took place in the passage, and on the deceased going up stairs,
ur rather ladder for that purpose, she fell, and almost instantly
expired. It is not yet known whether it was accidental, or
whether she was pushed down by the woman Farebrother, who
is in custody. The deceased has left three children.
Since our last, two men named Brunton and Hart-
ley, have been confined in the stocks for three hours each, in
default of paying the fine and costs on convictions for drunk-
enness. —Kendal Mercury.
On Tuesday, the ostler at the Swan Inn, Felsted,
whilst in the act of cruppering a horse, received a kick from
the animal, which drove him with such violence against the
wall of the building as to terminate his existence momentarily.

In levelling the ground for Great Clowes-street, a
little to the south of the site of the new Church on Stony
Knolls, a boulder stone of granite, similar to that of Aberdeen,
has been found, weighing probably eight or ten tons. —Man-
chester Times.
At the quarterly meeting of Derbyshire and York-
shire ironmasters, held on Wednesday last, at Wakefield, it
was determined for the present to make no alteration in the
prices of metal.
Upwards of twenty-two tons of trifolium incarnatum
grass were taken off one Cheshire acre of ground, in the
neighbourhood of Wavertree, the other day.
Should the House of Lords make any the slightest
alteration in the Newspaper Stamps Bill, it being a money
Bill, the effect must inevitably be to throw it out altogether.
Charles Wilkins, Esq., at a dinner of the Preston
" Operative Conservatives" gave, for the thirteenth time, the
toast of the " Lancashire Witches," prefaced by the very same
speech which he had delivered in this county, to our know-
ledge, a dozen times before. He said—" Woman was not
taken from man's head, to be made the cruel object of his
taunts and abuse; she was not taken from his foot, to be
spurned with indignity; but from under his arm, that the arm
of affection should be at all times stretched forth to shield and
defend her."—This is very good, and deserving of being a dozen
times repeated. When Mr. Wilkins next uses it we hope he
will acknowledge that he borrowed it from Mathew Henry's
" Commentary" on the Creation.—Manchester Times.
The Bishop of Lichfield, the junior Member of the
Episcopal Bench, and, as such, expected to read prayers daily
in the House of Lords, has been compelled to leave town for
the recovery of his health.
According to a letter of the 9th instant, from War-
saw, " Since the return of Prince Paskewitz-Erywanshi from
St. Petersburgh, great activity prevails in all the branches of
the internal administration. Russia appears determined to
push its terrible system of denationalisation into the most mi-
nute details. As if it were not enough to have introduced a
foreign language and religion, and to have distributed among
Generals the property of the natives of the country, an Impe-
rial ukase is shortly to appear dividing the inhabitants into 14
classes, according to the Russian custom ; it will regulate the
uniforms to be worn by each class, and infractions of these re-
gulations will be visited with no less a punishment than banish-
ment to Siberia. New arrests have taken place at Lublin, the
Government having discovered that several families carried on
a correspondence with the Polish refugees. Great strictness
is used in the surveillance of persons coming from abroad, and
is extremely prejudicial to commerce."
COLLIERY EXPLOSION. Another of those
dreadful calamities, unhappily of too frequent occurrence in
the colliery districts, took place at Hebburn colliery, on the
south side of the Tyne, on Tuesday last. About seven
o'clock in the morning an explosion was heard in the B pit,
which was soon after followed by another, by which two men
and a boy lost their lives, and seven others were burned.
Happily this pit has not been in full work for some time, and
the complement of men, about 70 in number, were at work in
the A pit, otherwise the loss of life might have been very
great ; little damage was done to the machiner of the mine

It is with great regret that we announce the death
of M. Armand Carrel, who expired yesterday morning at five
minutes after five o'clock. At eight o'clock on Saturday even-
ing the medical attendants had lost all hope, the inflammation
had made great progress, and the most energetic applications
could not diminish its intensity. The limbs at the same time
grew cold, and the face assumed a cadaverous appearance.
M. Carrel had till then preserved all his faculties, but they
then gradually failed him. At three o'clock in the morning
the symptoms changed; he became delirious, and recovered
all the power and brilliancy of imagination and expression for
which he was so highly distinguished. He spoke much and
fast, particularly about Spain, where some of his early impres-
sions had been received. The scene, for his friends standing
around him, was most distressing. At times he was conscious
of his own dangerous condition ; and on one of these occa-
sions he said, " I die in the faith of Benjamin Constant, of
Manuel, and of liberty." For a long time he had strongly
requested that he might have a bath. When there was ac-
tually no other resource left, the medical men yielded to the
energy with which he expressed his last desire. A bath was
brought. For some moments he had not uttered a single
ord ; but as soon as he heard the noise of the first pail of

Ivater falling into the bathing. tub, he exclaimed," Ah, here is
the bath l". and immediately threw off the bed-clothes, and
raised himself up. The physicians were obliged to hold him
till all was ready. He had hardly been put into the bath when
he seemed to be suffocated; they hastened to carry him into
bed again, and a few moments after he had ceased to live.
The medical men yesterday morning removed the bandages
from the thigh of M. Emile de Girardin. They found that
the ball had traversed the thigh, turning round the bone.
Amputation was not, however, apprehended to be necessary.
