clerk of the
feet, in
works, and Michael Sullivan, a labourer, were
precipitated to the ground, and fell among the f tones and bricks
used in the construction
of the church, some' f the boards fall-
ing upon them. They. were picked up in an insensible state, 1
and most seriously
I bruised. Mr. Welling was taken to his own
home, and it was some hours before he recovered his senses.
Sullivan, who was
the most injured, and who, it is feared, has
received a concussion
of the brain, was removed to the hospi-
tal. Both sufferers are in a very bad state. Three other men
who were on th
scaffold saved themselves by clinging to the
coping of

Grand Hotel, Covent-garden, on the body of . M

himself through the heart in that hotel on Friday. Among

FRUIT—THE DEVIL'S LAWS.,-The Kent He-
rald, referring to:the copy
,
of a'p etition from certain of the Fruit
Growers of Kent, complaining of the reduction in the duties
hitherto levied on foreign fruit, which exposes the English
owners and occupiers of fruit plantations, say the petitioners, to
an entirely ruinous competition, amongst other remarks on the
subject has the following :—The fruit-growers are compara-
tively poor and unprotected—they may suffer, they may be the
victims of an experiment—but the corn-growers, the great
landed proprietors, and the tithe-owners, the legislators
in fact, care not what injury is inflicted on commerce, and how
the people may suffer from the high price of the first necessary
of life, so that their interests are secure, so that rents may be
maintained at their present exorbitant height. The public
want, as well observed in the last discussion in Parliament
not only cheap fruit for their pies but cheap flour for the
crust over it." The repeal of the Corn-laws ought to precede
the repeal of the protecting duties on articles of minor import-
ance to the public, but in which the alteration presses equally
hard on the individuals subject to its first operation. The al-
ternative is between repealing the Corn-laws and lowering
tithes and taxation, or the infliction of suffering upon one in-
dustrious class or another of the community. The rich drones
only profit, if the effect be fully traced, by " protecting" or
prohibitory duties, and high tithe and taxation.
AGITATION.—One section of the English Radi-
cals are judiciously engaged in seeking practicable reforms
( while the Feargus O'Connors and Stephenses are making
Radicalism ridiculous by their absurd demands), and seeking
them, we are glad to see, with every prospect of success. Our
English friends have our best wishes for success in this battle
(the abolition of Church-rates), where, let it encourage them
to recollect, we have already obtained a victory. T

DOGS.--On Saturday at the Kensington Petty
Sessions, a number of the inhabitants appeared before Mr.
Barlow, the sitting Magistrate, to answer summonses under
the Local Act for suffering their dogs to be at large, by which
they had each incurred a
penalty not exceeding 5/. The re-
cent occurrence of hydrophobia in the neighbourhood has ren-
dered the inhabitants alive to the importance of keeping dogs
confined, and several of them have determined to bring the
owners of all found at large before the Bench. Most of the
parties summoned were fined in sums varying from 2s. 6d. to
10s. and costs • and the Maelstrates said that, notwithstanding
the exertions of the inhabitants and the parochial officers to
suppress the nuisance, he had the day before seen several dogs
prowling
about in the High-street, unobserved by. the police,
' l'"'; duty it w.-,s to htivsecuredseured them. He also icformed all
the uefendat,ts that the Mitc;iitrates int,, dod to return tilt'd
for.
names of every person summoned
dogs to the surveyor of
assessed taxes, that they may be charged the dog tax.
