THE .tco•rcir PRESS.—The annual dinner of gentle-
men connected with the Scottish press took place on Satur-
day, in the Star and Garter Hotel, Linlithgow. The
attendance was numerous, and comprised gentlemen from
various parts of Scotland. The duties of the chair were
ably discharged by Mr. Pagan, of Glasgow, and those of the
croupier by Mr. Smith, Edinburgh. The afternoon was
spent in the most agreeable manner. Representatives were
present from the Glasgow Herald, Costlier, Argus, and Scot-
tish Guardian; from the Edinburgh Scotsman, Witness, Cou.
rant, Advertiser, Chronicle, North British Advertiser; and
from the Fife Herald and Fifeshire Journal. Scotsman.
CORONER'S INQUEST.—An inquiry took place on
Wednesday, before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a jury, at the
University College Hospital, on view of the body of James
Cattermole, aged 29 years. It will be remembered that on the
evening of the 12th instant Miss Spankie, one of the
daughters of the late Sergeant Spankie, residing at 36,
Russell-square, on retiring to rest, had the misfortune to set
. fire to her clothes, and would have inevitably been burnt to
death but for the intrepidity of a servant, who rushed to her
assistance, and succeeded, at the risk of his life, in extinguish-
ing the flames. Tbat individual was the unfortunate de-
ceased, and it appeared that at the time his hands were burnt
in a very shocking manner. Cattermole received treatment
for his injuries from Mr. Alford, a surgeon, residing at No.
10, Bedford-place. In the course of a few days his hands
healed, but he complained of violent pains in his stomach,
and at last became so bad as to render necessary his removal
to University College Hospital, where he died on Monday
last. Dr. Quain proved that he bad made a post mortem exami-
nation of the body, and that although there was slight dis-
ease of the kidneys, that death had resulted from the shock to
the system occasioned by the injuries he had received. The jury
ultimately returned a verdict, " That the deceased died from
a shock to the system, occasioned by excitement and in-
juries received from burning."

"BOAT RACE.—Thursday morning, a boat race came
off on the river, between George Haddington and John
Stevens, both watermen of Rotherhithe, for 251. a-side. The
distance was from Rotherhithe Church to the Town Pier at
Gravesend. The two men were in excellent condition, and
they started exactly at eight o'clock, accompanied by the
Naiad steam packet, belonging to the Woolwich Company.
On reaching Woolwich, Haddington was half a mile a-head,
and continued to be in advance the rest of the distance. He
reached the pier at eleven o'clock, beating Stevens by a
mile, amidst the cheering of the populace.
LOUGHBOROUGH.—AwFuL THUNDER-STORM.—One
of the most awful thunder-storms ever remembered by the
oldest inhabitant of Longhborough, occurred at that place
between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening last. The
electric fluid struck the tower of All Saints' Church, forced a
piece of the window-frame a
from the side on which it entered
across the bell chamber, scooped several pieces out of solid
oak beams, and then ran down the wire from the clock ham-
mer to the chamber below, in which is the clock, and shat-
tered the lever which connected the works of the clock with
the wire of the hammer. Mr. King and one of his sons for-
tunately left the chamber a few minutes before the lever was
shattered. The bark was also stripped off one side of the
trunk of an elm tree, standing near the Ashley-road. For
ten minutes or a quarter of an hour the rain fell in torrents,
and for a short time it was accompanied with hail.
The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes on Thursday
issued notices that hawkers, pedlars, and itinerant dealers
not having their name and address in italics on some con-
spicuous part of their bundle or pack, will, on detection, be
liabl, to a fine of forty Mad&

HOUSE OF LORDS.
Room A.

SOUTH DEVON (AIaTLInATION AND
EXTIaNSION).

The members of this Committee re-assembled to-day at eleven
o'clock; Lord Sandys in the chair.
Mr. TALBOT opened the case for the Bill. He said that experience
had shown the necessity of improvement in certain points of the
South Devon line, and it was therefore proposed by the present Bill
to make branches to Brixham, Kingswear, and other places. The
branches were to commence at a point of the South Devon Railway
called Aller, and terminate at or near the turnpike leading from
Churston Ferrers to Brixhain Quay, at; or near a place called Cud-
bill. In consequence of some allegations with respect to the levels,
it was agreed to employ an Independent engineer to test the accuracy
of the sections. He would now proceed to call evidence.
Jermyn, engineer, was examined, and stated that he had ex-
amined this line at the points complained of, namely, tlw 10th mile
33 furlong, 10th mile 6th inrlong and Gth chain, and 12th mile
2d furlong and 6th chain. With respect to the first point the depo-
sited level was 181 feet and a decimal, and the actual 186 feet de-
clam], and the difference between the real and the stated height was
5 feet 8% inches. On the second section in question the given height
was 133 feet decimal, and the actual height 140 decimal, 41 feet,
flaking a difference of 7 feet 5 inches. On the third section the de-
posited height was 357 feet, the actual height 363 feet 5 inches,
making a difference of 6 feet 5 inches.
Mr. Rowe, who appeared ou the part of the petitioners, the Earl
of Morley and other owners on the line, contended that the errors
shown by the engineer were sufficient to prove the general lnaccu-
I racy of the line, they being selected at points suited for the purpose.
Mr. AUSTIN said it was proposed by his clients not to ask for that
portion of the line below Torquay, where only the property of the
petitioners was affected, and that therefore they had no right to per-
severe in their opposition to the Bill.
The room was cleared, and, on our re-admission,
The Ciwastax said, that in consequence of the inaccuracy of the
survey between Torquay and Dartmouth, that that portion of the
line must be struck out of the Bill.
Mr. Brunel, engineer to the line, was then examined as to the en-
gineering points, estimate, &c. &c. There being no opposition to
the remaining branches, the preamble of the Bill was proved.

ETON AND WESTMINSTER BOAT,

RACE.

This very interesting event came off on Thursday, and
added one laurel more to the Westminsters. It was
throughout a very spirited, dashing race, and the victors and
the vanquished alike deserve their meed of praise. The con-
test of last season, it may be remembered, was in favour of
the Westminsters ; and the Etonians, with a view, if pos-
sible, of retrieving their honours, threw down the gauntlet
about six weeks ago, and the race of yesterday was the re-
sult. Both parties went into sharp training; the Etonians
under the direction of Pocock of Lambeth, and the Westmin-
sters under the skilful tuition of Moulton of the same place.
The match not only created the most lively interest amongst
the members of the Universities, but also with the public
generally, and the assemblage both on the river and shore in-
dicated the anxiety of thousands to get a glimpse of any por-
tion of the match.
