FALL OF THREE HOUSES.
TWO PERSONS KILLED.
Shortly after eight o'clock on Thursday morning the inhabi-
tants of Chesham North Hadden were thrown into a state of
alarm in consequence of the sudden fall of three houses,
situate at the east end of the churchyard. The houses in
question had been condemned as dangerous, and two of the
tenements were stripped, preparatory to being pulled down,
but the third house, which was not deemed insecure at the
time the accident occurred, was tenanted by a family of the
name of Winter, consisting of a man and his wife, their
three children, and an old woman, Winter's mother. Winter
himself usually leaves his home at six o'clock in the morn-
ing for his work, but as there was reason fur believing that
the women and children were in the house at the time it
fell, a number of persons commenced clearing away the rub-
bish, and the body of the old woman was discovered dread-
fully crushed, though showing signs of life, but she ceased
to breathe in a few moments. Some time afterwards Mary
Winter was extricated. The poor woman had both legs
broken, and several ribs crushed. She was perfectly con-
scious when dug out, and kept inquiring for her children.
She was conveyed to the infirmary, where she lies in a
most precarious state. Two of the children were next dug
out in an insensible state, yet but slightly injured, a portion
of the bedstead on which they were sleeping at the time
having apparently fallen in such a position as to protect them
from the fallen mass. After a long search the body of the
remaining child was discovered amongst the ruins. A heavy
piece of timber had fallen across his body, which was crushed
in a frightful manner, and he was quite dead.

The long-pending dispute between Turkey and Persia
has at last been finally settled. Moharstra, on the Persian
Gulf, is restored to Persia; and the Sandjak of SoolimaniehFif—ncuSrurceedeebdyinthgeior vverresdeeeceerssoorsf t;hief

by him, when they were in office) are sued for the amount,
because the present overseers refused to discharge the claim,
finding that if they did, they should lose the money out of
their own pocket, as the auditors would not pass it in their
accounts. It is quite reasonable that overseers should, while
in office, pay their own accounts, and not push them over
upon their successors. Neither must overseers pay law
without their having been taxed by the Clerk of the Peace.'

HEALTHY OLD AGE. —On the 20th inst., died, much
respected, in the 92d year of his age, Mr. Daniel Fenning, of
Trinity-street, Colchester. Deceased was of a very robust
constitution, and during his long
Life had endured so little
affliction, that all his doctor's bills did not amount to half-a-
crown. Within a few months previous to his death, he made
it a practice to stalk several miles every day, and his faculties
were exceedingly well retained to the last.
A letter from St. I'etersburgh, of the 27th ult., says:
—" The produce of the gold mines in Russia is yearly in-
creasing. In 1811 the quantity extracted from those mine.;
was 961 ponds (9,610 kilogrammes), amounting in value to
39,000,200 f.; in 1842, 9,810 kilogrammes, value 53,200,000 f ;
in 1843, 12,930 kilog., value 72,800,000 f. ; in 1844, 13,410
kilog., value 76,600000 f.; in 1845, 13,711 kilog., value
79,000,000 f. ; making in the live years a total weight f
59,490 kilog. ;of the value of 319,000,000 f. Up to the present
time almost all the produce of the gold mines'of Russia has
been exported to England, but if the quantity continues to
increase progressively, or if it even no longer exceeds the
quantity obtained in 1845, England will cease to receive it,
at least the greater part, and then it will be necessary for us
to seek other markets for our gold, which it may perhaps be
rather difficult to find. But let us hope that the new system
of commercial policy which the Government-has adopted,
and particularly the reduction of the import duties, which
has been the first consequence of it, will increase our con-
sumption of foreign merchandise, in the purchase of which
our gold may find an advantageous employment. However
this may be, the working of the gold mines of Russia must
necessarily cause sooner or later a great revolution in the
commerce and industry, not only of Itumia, but on all pinta
of the globe."
