SINGULAR COINCIDENTAL ACCIDENT.. .AS
one of the preachers at the Ranters' Chapel, in briffield,
was preaching on Sunday. evenin,,,,, last, he very empha-
tically exclaimed, in the coura of his sermon, " It shall
be a lamp unto your foot," and "suiting the action to
the word," his hand struck the glass lamp attached
the pulpit, it was dashed to the ground, and broken at
the feet of his hearers into thousand pieces.—Yee,

an inquest was held at Sr. George's Hospital, before Mr.
Higgs, touching the d:Futh of John Kelly, thirty years of
age, who expired therein on Sunday night last under
the following circumstances. It appeared in evidence
that on the 14th of September last Kelly, who was a.
labourer in the employ of Messrs. Byers and Moors
builders, near Kilburn-mill, Paddington, was engaged eu
a scaffold erected in front of the fourth story of one of
the many spleadid buildings now in the course of: erec-

The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."
POLISH BALL AND CONCERT AT GUILD-
HALL.—Our readers will rejoice to learn that there it,
every prospect of this fete going off with the utmost
eclat, and that, brilliant as the Polish Balls of former
years have been, they are likely to be eclipsed by that.
which is appointed to take place on Wednepday next,
the 17th inst. The concert will possess an unusual at-
traction in Miss Adelaide Kentble, who has most gene-
rously consented to forward a charity in which, we un-
derstand, she takes a deep personal interest, by devoting
to its aid those high talents which have already won for
her a fame so universal and deserved. The lighting stns
decorations of the hall and concert room are to be on the.
same scale as at the banquet last Tuesday, and the at-
tendance in person of the noble and distinguished plurons
and patronesses is expected to be more numerous than on
any former occasion, whilst it must be highly gratifying
to the friends of Poland to find amongst those illustrious
personages the names of those the attest opposed in poli-
tics, yet thus united, cordially, in marking their sym-
pathy for a brave, but unfortunate people. We trust
the hall may not be over-crowded, but it strikes us that
the present price of tickets might be judiciously raised.
At present they are so low as 15s. for a gentleman's
ticket; les.. 6d. for a lady's; a:id one guinea fora ticket
admitting a lady and a gentleman. IVe remember that
on former occasions the only fault we had to find with
the Committee of Management was, their not restricting
sufficiently their issue of tickets, and the consequent
crowded state of the hall. Perhaps, where a ball is given
with a charitable purpose, we ought not to be over scru-
pulous; and shall, therefore, say no more than that, in.
common with our readers, we wish every success to sc.
spirited an effort to assist the needy and shelter the des-
titute.

MESSRS. 11011110 USE AND CO.'S BANK.
11UPTCY.—Tuesday last was the day fixed for the exa-
mination of the bankrupts. The large roman at the White

amount of profit divided between the partners of the
firm for the last three or four years, amounting to from
3,500/. to 4,00e1. in the whole, and referred to his books
for exact statements. Mr. Hohbouse considered he had
been in the receipt of 1,2001 a-year. The bankrupts
having received their protection, they signed the neces-
sary papers for the adjournment or their examinatioce
until the 10th of January. It was stated to the Com-
missioners that there were numbers of creditors who were
waiting to prove their debts, and an announcement was,
made that to such of the creditors as might be waiting to

prove their debts, the Commissioners will state the ap-
pointment in the London Gazette; and in all probability
in all the Bath papers. The day fixed was the 23d inst.,
at eleven o'clock.—Abridged from the Bath Chronicle 01

WOOD PA Y I NG,—ln a lecture on wood paving,
delivered at the Southwark Literary institution on Wed-
nesday, by Mr. Lee Stevens, it was stated that this
novel mode of forming the surfaces of carriage-ways had
already occasioned great increase in the business oh'
those shopkeepers who are located where the system has
been adopted ; that the value of such hose-property
has been considerably improved ; that the quantity of
mud collected upon wood patine. by the scavengers, that
in Oxford-street for instance, i:barely one-fourth of that.
previously removed from the same place, the principal
part (if not all) of which is brought upon the wood from
adjoining parings ; that the fractures of gas and water
pipes under the best system of wood paving bear a pro-
cuffing ; and that recent ir.provements, in grooving the
portion of scarcely one-sixth to those previously oc-
curring
surfaces of the blocks, as exhibited at St. -Paul's Church-
yard, Holborn, and Regent-street, have obviated all ob-
jections on the score of slipperiness. Among other sta-
tistical data, the lecturer produced lists of the quantities,
and the prices charged, furnished by the re-
spectivepn'arties, from which it appears that Mr. Stead

and his wife were in the habit of dining almost daily tst
a fashionable restaurant in the Palais Royale. After a
time the waiters began to miss articles of plate. Not
observing at first, but afterwards remarking, that it was'

which disappeared, their suspicions at length fell on

BODY OF A MAN FOUND IN THE rt IYILR.
—On Wednesday afternoon the dead body of a man
was found floating in the river off the Middlesex' side
of Westminster- bridge. The corpse is that of a man
about five feet six inches in height, but in such a state
of decomposition that it is impossible to judge
from the features what the age of deceased might ha,ter
been. his dress consisted of an old cotton shirt, cord
trousers, and black waistcoat, but neither coat nor
stockings. A laced-up boot was found on the right foot,
the other being divested of all covering. It is supposed
that the corpse has been:in the water
-for some consider--
able time, and also from the wretchedness of deceasetrs,
attire, that lie committed suicide from extreme waut..
About his person were no documents of any kind, to
afford the least due to his healthy. The corpse is now
lying at St. Margaret's workhouse, awaiting a Coroner's;
Inquest.
