A Lovia QUARREL.—Yesterday afternoon consider-
able amusement was created on Westminster-bridge, by the
extraordinary conduct of a young man and woman, who,
seemingly without any apparent cause, commenced throwing
a quantity of edibles and wearing apparel with which they
were loaded, over the parapet of the bridge into the Thames,
having accomplished which, they both took different direc-
tions, seemingly very well satisfied at what each had done.
From what could be gathered from a mutual friend, who
in vain attempted to dissuade them from the destruction of
their property, it appears that the young man, whose name
is Wilmot, residing at Milbank, was about to be married to
the young woman to-morrow, and that they had been out
together making purchases for their wedding, and in crossing
the bric'ge, Miss Brown, the bride elect, insisted that her in-
tended should wrap a worsted comforter round his neck to
keep out the cold. He positively refused, a quarrel ensued,
and the result was that they threw everything they had
purchased, even to the ring and keeper, into the Thames.
THE LATE FIRES IN DRURINLANE.—Last night Mr.
Bedford concluded the inquiry which had been thrice ad-
journed, touching the origin of the three fires which lately
and at different periods broke out in the premises, 90 and 91,
Drury-lane. As on the former occasions, the inquiry was
held at the Duke of Wellington. Evidence having reference
to the insane woman, Harrison, brought to Bow-street
Police-office yesterday, was taken, and the jury after being
engaged for three- quartet s of an hour in deliberation, found
the following verdict :—" That the premises No. 90 and 91,
Drury-lane, took fire respectively on the 11th and 14th of
January, but how such premises so respectively took fire
there is no evidence to satisfy the jury." The foreman, in
the name of the jury, stated that no suspicion was attached
to any one but the unfortunate woman alludedto.

ing of 1846, upwards of 100,000 copies were sold in ten
days. For the advertisements which appeared in the pub-
lication, the charge was at the astounding rate of forty-five
guineas per page. The money received for advertisements
in that number of Punch could pskt have been less than 500/,
