FIRE AND LOSS OF LIFE.

---
A fire, which unfortunately resulted in loss of life,
broke out on Saturday morning at No. 7, Upper North-
street, Brighton, occupied by a laundress named Figg.
The fire broke out in the front parlour, and in a short
time the house was enveloped in flames. Figg and his,
family succeeded in escaping through the lower part of
the house, but a man named Holden, with his wife and
child, who occupied the upper part, finding the smoke too
dense, attempted to pass over the roof, they being under
the impression that the roof was flat. It was quite dark
at the time. The roof proved to bo slanting; and they
211 three rolled off the roof into the back yard. The
houses in this part of Upper North-street were built by
the side of an ancient chalk pit, and in consequence, al-
though the front of the houses show only a height of
three stories, there are five stories at the back. It was
from this height, between thirty and forty feet, that the
unfortunate family fell into the yard. Eventually the
child was found sitting upon the mould of a small flower
garden, having sustained only a few small bruises. Mrs.
Holdtu was greatly injured, one of her arms being
smashed by the fall. Some fractured bones have since
been removed from the arm, and she is recovering. Her
husband, we regret to add, was taken up insensible. He
was at once removed to the Sussex County Hospital in a
fly; and yesterday morning he sank under his injuries.
On the alarm of fire being given, the neighbours and fire-
men were quickly in attendance, and a hose having been
attached to one of the water company's fireplugs, the fire
was subjued.

COLLIERY ACCIDENT AT LLANELLY.-013 Thurs-
day tour colliers employed in the Old Castle pit were
leaving their work to come above ground in a basket
raised by an engine, with a rope. &c., attached. It is sup-
posed that one of the four on hearing the engine going, laid
hold of the basket, and in getting into it gave it a lurch,
-which caused it to swing in its ascent. The result was, the
crossbar came into contact with a partition beam in the
pit, about twelve fathoms from the bottom, by which one of
the chains connecting the crossbar with the rope was broken,
the basket tilted, and the four unfortunate men at the time
in it were thrown out and precipitated to the bottom.
David Longhurst, senior, Was killed on the spot; William
Williams died in a few minutes; while David Longhurst,
junior, son of the above, sustained a fracture of the thigh
and other serious injuries, from which, however, we under-
stand from inqurics made this week, hopes are entertained of
his ultimate recovery. John Morgan, the fourth sufferer
from this accident, survived till Monday, when death put a
period to his sufferings.—North Wales chronicle.
CHARGti: OF MANSLAUGHTER COMMITTED FOUR
YEARS AGO.—On Monday last, at the Court-house, Wake-
field, James WDermot was fully committed to take his trial
at the ensuing York Assizes, in March next, for the man-
slaughter of Henry Skelton, in the year 1846. It appears
that M‘Dermet, along with two:others, named John Shearon
and Luke Ilarkon, who were convicted and sentenced to be
transported at the Winter Gaol Delivery, 1848, was seen to
be taking part in the affray by which Skelton lost his life, but
has until now escaped the vigilance of the police, who have
been on the look out for him ever since the unfortunate oc-
currence.—Leeds Mercury.
