ALARMING FIRE AT BATH.
BATH, Jtretz 12.—At a late hour last night a fire of
an extensive and alarming nature, and which at one time
caused fears to be entertained for the safety of the mag-
nificent Abbey Church of this city, broke out upon the
premises of Mr. Long, silk-mercer, &c., within a short
distance from that venerable edifice. The alarm was
first given at a little past twelve o'clock, and was quickly
spread throughout the city. The firemen of the different
insurance companies, the police and other officers, were
promptly on the spot. A crowd consisting of some
thousands of persons was speedily collected around the
building. The tire spread with amazing rapidity, and
seemed to defy the efforts used to subdue it. The
flames, which broke forth in all directions, threatened - -
the safety of the adjacent premises, and at one time it
was thought by many scarcely possible to preserve those
of Messrs. Shaw and Beale, the woodwork and paint of
which were charred and blistered by the heat. Bad
these premises caught, the destruction must have been
extensive, as the stock of Messrs. Shaw and Beale is
highly valuable. Large flakes of burning embers flew
about in all directions, descending on the roofs of the
houses, and many an anxious eye was directed to the
noble towers of the Abbey, brightly illuminated as they
were by the fire, in the fear lest some of them might
ignite that time-hallowed and holy pile. The exertions
of the firemen and neighbours were unceasing, but the
conflagration could not be subdued until Mr. Long's- pre-
mises, with the whole or nearly the whole of his vaiiiabie
stock, was destroyed. The extent of the damage has not
transpired, but it cannot fail to have been very eon-
siderahle.

THE MURDER AT BIRILENHEAD.—BIREENHEAD,
SATURDAY.—The coroner's inquest relating to the murder of
Thomas Finnigan, whose body was found in the Morpeth
Dock, was concluded yesterday at the Adelphi Hotel. It
will be remembered that on the night he was last seen alive
he had been to the festival of some club at Tranmere. Se-
veral days after, his corpse was discovered in the dock, a
handkerchief was found stuffed half way down his throat,
the side of his bead lacerated, and the trousers pockets turned
out as if they had been rifled. A man of the name of James
Silk was taken into custody on suspicion of being concerned
in the murder. Mr. Vaughan, the surgeon, who examined
the body, gave it as his opinion that death had been caused,
by suffocation. On the resumption of the proceedings the
Coroner informed the jury that the magistrates had directed.
the capture of Ann Tobin, a young female, on suspicion ot
being implicated with the man Silk in the murder. A great
mass of evidence was taken ; and although it left no doubt
of the unfortunate young man being murdered, it did not
tend to criminate the parties in custody. At a late hour the
coroner summed up the evidence, and the
,jury, after an
hour's consultation, returned a verdict of " Wilful murder
against some person or persons unknown."

appliedas she gradually sunk, and died in an hour after her admit*.
sion. He understood that she had taken five grains of
the stoman
morphia, which were equal to an ounce of laudanum, and
sufficient to destroy life. The deceased, who had been an
out-patient, was allowed a small quantity of laudanum. ad.
ministered in a mixture. Miss Perking, daughter of the
proprietor of the Hope, John-street, Tottenham-court-road,
deposed that the deceased came into the house early in the
morning, and asked for a glass of water, into which she
poured half the contents of the phial produced. She then had
a glass of gin. After which she suddenly breams drowsy,
and ultimately insensible, when she was taken to the hospital.
Verdict—" Deceased killed herself by an overdose of morphia.
but whether the act was intentionil or otherwise, there WAS
no evidence to show."

MARRIAGE OF JOHN BRIGHT, ESQ., M.P.—
Thursday morning, being the weekly meeting of the Friends
at their meeting-house, George-street, in Wakefield, was
fixed upon as the day upon which Mr Bright's marriage
with Miss Leatham should be solemnised according to the
usual form of that body. Half an hour previously to the
time appointed (half-past ten), the chapel began to be filled
by a numerous and respectable portion of the inhabitants of
the town and neighbourhood. Amongst the company pre-
sent, moat of whom were of the fair sex, we observed a
great number of Mr. Bright's political friends. Within a
sew minutes of half-past ten the wedding party arrived, and
immediately took the seats apportioned to them. The
whole company sat for about three quarters of an hour in
perfect silence, when Mr. Bright arose, and taking the
right hand of Miss Leatham, pronounced in a low, but
distinct voice, the following words :—" Friends, I take
my friend, Margaret Elizabeth Leatham, to be my
wife, and promise by Divine assistance to be unto her a

DEATH OF MR. CHARLES SHERIDAN..--SOCiety has
lost one of its choicest favourites and ornaments In Mr.
Charles Sheridan, who combined all the gifts and qualities
that distinguish his remarkable family—wit, beauty, seems-
' hments, the graces of manner, and the charm of a=-
pits
diality the most sincere and genial. We know of no one
who was
more universally welcome wherever he west, and
so liked and admired. His conversation was full of liveliness
and zest; his wit was light, easy, and managed with good
taste and feeling. His talents were excellent, and all that he
wanted was the energy for their application, which his health.
perhaps, refused him, the threatening symptom of which was
a prevailing langour when unexcited. The premature end
of one so young and so gifted seems to bear out the thought,
turned in so many forms from Sophocles to Shakspere, down
to Jeffry, Moore, and Byron, that " Heaven sends its
favourites an early doom,"—Examiner.
