PHENOMENON AT WAINYBROLCII, MONMOUTH-
SHIRE.—Oa Monday the bees and wasps congregated
from east, west, north, and south, and engaged in deadly
warfare. They appeared in swarms as far as the eye
could see, and the ground for a large space underneath
was covered with the dead, mostly wasps.
Loss or MAIL BAGS.—On the arrival of the mail
cart from the Swindon station on Sunday morning, it
was found that the bag containing the letters, &c., for
Aldermaston, and other places around here, was missing.
Immediately the man was dispatched back to make
inquiries, when no tidings could be had of the same.
Several large dealers were at the Hind's Head Inn,
Aldermaston, awaiting the mail, which should arrive at
ten o'clock, when it did not arrive till one o'clock, and
then without the letters and papers so anxiously looked
for. It is feared the loss will be severe'y felt, as to-
morrow (Monday) being the great Reading horse, beast,
and cheese fair, many of the large cattle dealers stop at
this place, Aldermaston, the day before, it being ten
miles only from the fair. At this place the stock rest,
and money, with orders, are transmitted to the dealers.
Sir Howard Elphinstone and party, and Captain
Macdonald and party, left Blackwall on Sunday in the
General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Soho,
for Ostend.
BOY DROWNED.—Yesterday evening an inquest
was held before W. Baker, Esq., at the Bunch of Grapes,
Broad street, Ratcliff, on the body of John Digby, a boy
aged ten years. James Winn deposed that he and an-
other boy were with the deceased on the Thames in a
boat on Sunday afternoon, about half-past four. The
deceased had his hands against a barge pushing the boat
off, when he lost his balance and fell into the river.
Charles Bigg, a waterman, stated that having been told
a boy had fallen into the water, he went to his assist-
ance ; but as he had disappeared he could not recover
him without the aid of the drags, and as there were none
near, to his knowledge, he pulled across the river to
obtain those which are kept there, and immediately re-
turned and succeeded in bringing the boy to the surface.
He was quite dead. The boy had been under water 20
minutes or so. He felt quite sure that if there had been
drags near the spot he could have saved the boy's life.
The jury considered it very desirable that drags should
be kept at the " New England Lighthouse," and the
Coroner said he would write to the Humane Society on
the subject. Verdict—" Accidental Death."
A ROBBERY FRUSTRATED THROUGH FEAR.—The
Excise-office connected with the Lochrin distillery in
Gilmore-place was surreptitiously entered on Wednesday
evening, last, by means of breaking some panes of glass
in one of the windows. Having gained admittance in
this way to the outer apartment of the office, the thieves
nett forced open two doors, which enablei them to get
across to a room in which some boxes, containing wear-
ing apparel and other articles, were deposited. These
they appear to have at once removed to the outer room;
and, while looking about to see if anything else could be
added to the plunder which they had collected, before
making their exit they would seem to have been attracted
by a large package, securely wrapped up, and appa-
rently placed with great care in a quiet nook of the
apartment. Curious to know what was in it, they im-
mediately unloosed the cords and unfolded the sheeting,
when, to their extreme horror and alarm, the pale
visage of a human form was revealed. Without waiting
another moment, they appeared to have darted out of
the window, perfectly terror-stricken at the sight, leav-
ing all their booty behind. It turns out that what ex-
cited their alarm was the model of a statue, which an
artist had left for safety with some of the officials con-
nected wsth the distillery, while he was on a short tour
on the continent.—Scotsman.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.--A grand fire-
work gala took place last night at these gardens, when
the skill of the pyrotechnic artist was tasked to the ut-
most for a surpassing display of the powers of Nature's
free daughter," fire. After a few preliminary fiery
fountainsand burning bouquets, a mimic naumachia, or
sea-fight, between a British man-of-war and a piratical
schooner, was exhibited. This was followed by the
descent of Signor Farinelli in a flaming car, surrounded
by fireworks ; the spectacle concluding with the erup-
tion of Vesuvius, and destruction of Pompeii and Her-
culaneum. This was excellent, and quite supersedes
the necessity of visiting Naples, as we are sure the real
affair cannot be half so good.

INFORMATIONS UNDER THE FACTORY ACT.--011
Monday last Mr. George Foster, of Horbury, manufac-
turer, was charged before J. F. Carr and T. H. Mar-
shall, Esqs., at the Court-house, Wakefield, by Mr.
Bates, the sub-inspector of factories, with neglecting to
perform certain duties enacted by the Factory Acts.
The first information against Mr. Foster was under the
21st section of the Act, which orders that the machinery
shall be properly fenced off to prevent accidents. The
magistrates inflicted upon the defendant the mitigated
penalty of 51. The second charge against Mr. Foster
was fir employing a woman named Tamar Heptonstall
near the machinery not fenced off; and which he had
been ordered to do by the inspector, from which neglect
the poor woman had been seriously injured, from her
clothes getting entangled in the machinery. The magis-
trates considered the case to be a flagrant one, and, as it
proceeded from the neglect of the defendant, they would
inflict a penalty of 201. Mr. Samuel Lee, of Thornes-
lane, Wakefield, manufacturer, was charged by Mr.
Bates with having employed four children without sur-
geon's certificate, as directed by the 11th section of the
Act of William IV., and also with employing the same
children before being duly registered. Mr. Leo was
fined to the amount of 21. for each child in each offence,
making altogether the sum of 164
