A MOTHER DROWNED WHILST BATHING HER CHIL-
DREN IN TILE WILAEFE.—A distressing event happened on.
Thursday week, and one which excited more painful in-
terest in the town and neighbourhood where it occurred,
than any. that has taken place there for some years. On the
evening Just named, between six and seven o'clock, Mrs.
Eliza Ackroyd, wife of Mr. William Ackroyd, painter, went
with some others down to the river Wharfe, Otley, at the
bottom of Mr. William Dawson's garden, for the purpose
of bathing her own and some of her neighbours' children.
She and a young woman pulled off their shoes and stock-
ings, and went a short distance into the water, and having
bathed two of Mrs. Parkinson's children, she was attempt-
ing to dip an orphan girl, nine years old, of the name of
Wilson, who was too strong for her, and they both fell
head foremost into the river, which in that part is very
deep. The shrieks of the women and children who were near
arrested the attention of John Wilson, whitesmith, who had
been bathing near there, and he rushed into the water
up to the chin, eagerly attempting to lay hold of Mrs .Ackroyd ;
but, being no swimmer, he wasobliged to give up the attempt
of saving her. However, he fortunately caught the girl by
the hair of her head, by which means she was rescued from a
watery grave. Mrs. Ackroyd appeared to struggle very
much, and after floating several yards she sunk to the bot-
tom. Mr. William Dawson, hearing of the accident, ran
immediately to the place, and rushed into the river, but find-
ing that his clothes bore him down so as to prevent his
swimming properly, he came out and undressed himself,
and then went in again, and swam in various direc-
tions, but could not discover her. At last he was directed
to a place, where he saw her, and diving down, be attempted
to raise ber up, but was unable. Two other men then went '
in to his assistance, and they all took hold of hands. He
then made another effort, and caught hold of her dress, and
the three men pulled her out of the water on to the bank.
Mr. Spence and Mr. Shaw, surgeons, were in attendance,
and bled her, and used other means to restore animation, but
without effect, for the spark of life was quite extinct. This
distressing event took place in the presence of her own three
little children.—Leeds lateiligencer.
COLLISION ON THE GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY.—On
Sunday morning last, a collision took place on the Grand
Junction Railway, about four miles beyond Crewe, which
caused great consternation to a very long train of passengers,
and resulted in a great many severe contusions and bruises;
bat no life was lost, and we bavo not heard of any fractures.
It seems that the cheap excursion train, which left Man-
chester for London on Saturday the 30th Mal, was returning
to Manchester on Sunday morning last, consisting of 39 first,
second, and third-class carriages, drawn by one engine. It
was about six o'clock in the morning, the atmosphere very
thick and misty, when the train came suddenly upon four
or five stationary goods-tracks, some empty and some loaded,
and by the collision with these trucks, the passengers were
thrown violently against each other, or against the inside of
the carriages; many receiving severe bruises on the head,
face, shoulders, &c., and a number suffered from black eyes.
One lady received a severe cut across the forehead, and was
in a state of insensibility for some time. This accident caused
a detention of about au hour and a quarter, and then the
train brought all the passengers forward to Manchester, the
carriages not being much injured. As to the cause of the
collision, it seems a goods' train from Birmingham, which
had preceded the excursion train some time, had, by some
accident, lost or left a part of its trucks on the line. The
stoker of that train states that the waggons must have
become accidentally detached from the train when in motion.
He did not discover the loss till he had proceeded some dis-
tance on his journey, and he then ran back in order to make
signals to any coming train. He had got between the sta-
tionary trucks and the passenger train, but the latter was
too near to stop in time. Fortunately, owing to the misty
atmosphere, the train was going slowly at the time, or the
consequences of the collision would have been much more
serious. It is urged that if the stoker's statement be cor-
rect, it does not exculpate the parties having charge of the
goods' train, as it proves that it was running without the
necessary side chains being used to connect the trucks that
were found detached with each other and with other trucks
in the train.
ROBBERY AT CHATHAM BARRACKS.—At the county
magistrate's office, Rochester, on Monday, Ellen Sears and
Ann Pettis, two respectably-dressed young women, were
charged with stealing some articles of plate belonging to
Captain John Burns, of the 78th Highlanders. From the
statement of Captain Burns, it appeared that as he was re-
turningirom mess, accompanied by another officer, about 10
o'clock on Tuesday evening, on their way to his quarters they
saw the two prisoners sitting on one of the benches on the
terrace. They asked him for some wine, and the other
officer having left him, he told them to come up to his room
and he would give them some. Whilst they were there he
told them there was some ale in the cupboard, which he in-
vited them to partake of, telling them they would find the
corkscrew in the sideboard, where the plate was kept.
After they had partaken of strawberries, ale, and wine, they
left his quarters; be had never spoken to them before. The
next morning his servant, Alexander himLairmnisgios,nsitenoralsdhfraor been.

a tablespoon and a desert fork
tweree t)
drawer in the sideboard towhich the
Laing identified the prisoners as the parties who were
in his master's quarters on the night in question, and for
whom he provided wine-glasses. On Wednesday morning
the prisoners went to the shop of Mr. Stigant, a pawnbroker,
in Chatham, to whom Sears presented a table-spoon, and
asked him if he would lend her ss. on it, saying it was her
OW% and that she was a housekeeper, living on the Brook.
Having given her a duplicate, they left the shop. She
pawned it in her own name. The next morning the prisoner
Sears offered the fork to Mr. Weekes, pawnbroker, for 4s.
In this instance, however, sbe was not quite so foutunoatneea
for he, having been apprised of the robbery,re qie d, it was

were committed to take their trial at the next Quarter Ses-
sions at Maidstone, they burst into tears, and Partis fell back
in a chair in a fainting fit, in which state she was removed
from the dock.
A WELL-STOCKED LARDER.—Mr. Thomas Pt arson,
of Pool Bank, Crosthwalte, shot in Low Park, the other day, near
Witeerslack, a bustard hawk, or, as it is locally termed, a buzzard.
In the nest of the voracious bird were found three rabbits, one hare,
one pheasant, three mice, one rat, two hag worms, and a blackbird.
Both worms had their heads off.—Kendal Mercury.
REBECCA WANTED IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE..— Since
June 1 the trustees of the trusts between Dursley and Tetbury, and
Woottoa and Tetbury, have increased the tolls one-third; the tolls
used to be is. for ten miles, and quite enough ; they are now Is. 6d.
for ten miles, actually more than in many instances second-class
fares are on railroads—decidedly "too bad." From Tetbury to
Malmesbury, five miles, the toll is le.—Conintercial Traveller.
ANOTHER WHITE WHALE CAPTURED IN THE MED-
WAY.-00 Saturday morning another beluga was caught by some
Strood fishermen, off the Garrison Point at Sheerness, and brought
to Rochester. It was about half-grown, and, as described by natu-
ralists, had not yet attained the generally pure whiteness of a full-
grown fish.
