THE LATE FATAL FIRE NEAR APOTHECAPIES9
HALL.—An investigation was yesterday held before Mr.
Payne, the City Coroner, as to the origin of the recent
fire and the cause of the death of Miss Frances Purday,
who perished in the flames ; and after hearing all the
evidence that could be procured in elucidation of the
circumstances, the jury returned a verdict " That de.
ceased was accidentally burned to death, but as to the
origin of the fire there was not sufficient evidence before
the jury to enable them to decide."
HEAVY RAINS AND STOPPAGE OP COAL WORBS
AT WIGAN.—From the heavy rains about three weeks
ago, owing to which the water broke into the workings
of coal mines in Wigan, one colliery is entirely stopped,
and, we believe, will be abandoned altogether, along
with the working materials in the pit, including a large
quantity of waggons, rails, and other articles of con-
siderable value. On Sunday morning last, the water in
the river was again overflowing its banks, and fears
were excited that an additional quantity would get into
the hollows, which would halve the effect of stopping
other works. They, however, escaped; but the water
was so high, the rain during the preceding night being
exceedingly heavy, that some of the cellars of buildings
adjacent to the river were four feet deep in water.—Local
Paper.
COLLISION ON THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE
RAILWAY.—We have been informed by a gentlemon who
travelled on this line of railway on Monday, that a
serious collision took place about eleven o'clock that
morning between the Kendal junction and the Miln-
thorpe station. It appears that a cattle train which was
coming down came in contact with a luggage train which
was going up the line, and that the collision was dread
ful. The two engines and most of the trucks were
smashed. The two engineers and a stoker were very
much hurt, one of them so dangerously as not to be ex-
pected to recover. Four head of cattle, which were in
the cattle train, were killed. It was said that the cattle
train was so heavy that it could not be stopped in time,
although there were two breaks on it, and hence the
collision. The passenger train, on arriving at the spot,
was detained nearly an hour before the line could be
cleared of the broken engines and trucks to enable it to
pats.—Liverpool Courier.
We learn from the Island of Bute, that the harvest
is nearly completed. A good deal is already secured;
and most of the farmers have finished shearing. The
crops, generally, arc abundant, and of excellent csality.
