HUNGERFORD MARKET COM-
PANY.

The half yearly general meeting of proprietors was
held yesterday at the company's offices, Villiers-street,
Strand; Marttn!Stutely, Esq..iin the chair. The directors'
report referred to the failure of the Charing-cross
Bridge Company to obtain powers from Parliament to
sell the bridge, and to the rescinding of the con-
tract for sale and purchase thereof, with Messrs.
Jackson, Walmsley, and others ; and congratu-
lated the proprietors on the very satisfactory
progfess of the Market Company's affairs; the earnings
for the past year, notwithstanding the general depres-
sion of trade and other drawbacks, enabled the directors
to propose an increased dividend. The report was
cordially received by the proprietors, a dividend of
V. ss. per share was declared; and after a vote of thanks
to the Chairman and directors the meeting adjourned.

SINGULAR. AND FATAL CAsumzr.—Yesterday, in
the I)eacon's•close, Calton-mouth, a soldier of the 71st
regiment, named Robert 11PLeod, was found suspended
by the head from the head railing of a❑ inide stair. I!
appears that deceased had, during the night, failed in
procuring admittance into the house of an acquaintance
to the land; and that he had lain down on the stair
head. Restless in his sleep—slipping through the rail
ing—ho had continued moving until his body lost the
equilibrium over the stairhead, when, falling, he was
caught by the chin by the under rail, and there sus-
pended within two feet of the ground. The deceased
was much respected, and had been away from barrack,
on leave. On being discovered, the regimental surgeon
was immediately in attendance. A few minutes before
the discovery, heavy breathings were heard, but whet,
discovered death had completed its work.—Scotch Re-
former's Gazette,
