TILE WRECK OF THE STEAM-SIIIP ARIEL.—This
fine ship, considered the fastest of the whole fleet of
steamers belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation Company, cannot, we regret to learn,
be got off. The last accounts from Leghorn, dated
June 3, state the vessel to be fast fixed on the reef, with
nearly six feet of water in her hold. Nearly the whole
of the specie, and a considerable quantity of her valuable
cargo had been got out, the latter very much damaged,
and landed at Vada. The shoal where she lies is the
Mal-de-Vetro, situate between four and five miles west
from the town of Vada, on the Tuscany coast, and
thirteen from Leghorn lighthouse. Tho Ariel was an
iron-built vessel, nearly 900 tons burden, and was
launched at Blackwall about two years since. Her en-
gines were 300-horse power, the manufacture of Messrs.
Penn and Co., at Greenwich. One of her Majesty's
war steamers and a private steamer have been dispatched
from Leghorn and Genoa to the Ariel's assistance. The
Ariel was very heavily insured at Lloyd's.
ROBBING A JUDGE.—OH Saturday night, the resi-
dence of James Espiaasse, Esq., the Recorder of Roches-
ter, was burglariously entered, and stripped of a large
quantity of silver plate, several gold watches, &c., the
burglars, amongst other articles, carrying off his official
costume.

FRIG lITEUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford,
Lhe Coroner for Westminster, received information of

the melancholy death of a fine young woman, only nine-
teen years of age, named Mary O'Bryan, who expired on
the previous evening at the King's ollege Hospital,
from injuries received by burping. It appears that the
female in question resided in the neighbourhood of the
Waterloo-road; and of late she had taken to an unfortu-
nate course of life. About three o'clock on the morning
of the 18th ult. she accompanied a gentleman to No. 3,
Red Lion-court, Strand. They were shown into a room
on the first floor by the landlady, and in lees than five
minutes afterwards the latter was alarmed by loud
screams, and a smell of burning, and on hastening up
stairs to the first floor she discovered the bedstead one
mass of fire, and the unfortunate woman running about
the room with her clothes in flames. The fire was even-
tually extinguished, but with great difficulty, and not
before everything in the room was consumed. The un-
fortunate woman, who was frightfully burnt about the
head and body, was immediately removed to the King's
College Hospital, where she lingered in excruciating
agony until death terminated her sufferings on the pre-
vious evening. Her companion made his escape by
jumping from the first-floor window into the court.
APPREHENSION OF A PRIZE-FIGHTER.—At Croy-
don on Monday evening, while the magistrates were
sitting at the Workhouse, Croydon, preparatory to the
threatened meeting of the Chartists on Duppas-hill.
close by, Thomas Maley, a pugilist, was brought before
them by police constable Cooper, who had apprehended
him a short time before, by virtue of a warrant placed
in his hands for that purpose. Mr. Charles Jones, a
gentleman on whose application the warrant had been
granted, deposed that he saw it announced in the sport-
leg papers of Sunday that the defendant Maley was to
fight a pitched battle with Paddy Gill on the next day
(Tuesday), for 2001.. and he, Mr. Jones, had, there-
fore, no doubt of the defendant's intending to commit a
breach of the peace.—Cooper, the constable, said that
in company with the last witness he took Maley, whom
he met, arid whom he had known for some years as a
prize-fighter. On telling him he was his prisoner, Ma-
ley said he was very sorry he apprehended him, as he
made sure of pocketing the 2001. on the next day.—The
magistrates ordered Maley to find two sureties in 25/.
each, and himself in 501., to keep the peace and bo of
good behaviour, Maley begged the magistrates to let
' him go at liberty, assuring them that if they did so, he
should lick at 1i ast a dozen and a half of the Chartists.
11 His offer was not accepted, and he was taken away in
custody.
