DEATH OF DOWAGER LADY WATERPARK.—We

Waterpark. The melancholy event took place on Mon-
day last, at her residence in Hertford-street. Her
Ladyship was the eldest daughter and co-heir of Mr.

second Lord Waterpark, by whom her Ladyship had a
family of twelve children, ten of whom survive their

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL THOMAS PHIPPS
HowARD, K.H.—We have t' record the demise of the

A SEVERE SENTENCE.—A rich farmer of Valdbye
(Denmark), named Steernersen, has just been tried at
Copenhagen for having attempted, ty. displaying a red
pocket-handkerchief at the end of a stick, to stop a train
running on the railway from Copenhagen to Rothschield.
He acknowledged that he bad displayed the signal as
stated, but affirmed that he did so in consequence of a
wager entered into by him after a copious breakfast well
seasoned with wine, that he should succeed in stopping
the first train that appeared. Knowing that to display
a red flag signified danger, he had waved his red hand-
kerchief, as mentioned in the indictment. The Court,
finding him guilty, sentenced him to ten years hard la-
bour in a house of correction, being the penalty laid down
in the Danish law against any attempt to stop a railway
train or impede its passage. Steernersen has appealed
against this severe sentence.
COST or PAUPERISM.—The overseers of Bolton
applied to the borough magistrates on Saturday last,
and obtained their sanction to a new rate upon the
township of four shillings in the pound. The over-
seers stated that from this rate they expected to re-
alise 13,000 L, and that although there is still a consider-
able amount to be collected of the old rate, they did not
expect that the whole amount would carry them over
next March.
