VAUXHALL-GABDENS.—The grounds of this este
blishment were yesterday thrown open to the supporters of,
the benevolent institution known as the Licensed Victuallers
Asylum. The attendance of company was more 00
usually numerous; there could not have been less than live
thousand persons assembled by nine o'clock, and a crowdwas then at the doors of the gardens struggling for admix'
sion. The arrangements were, however, so good-, that ac'
commodation was found for all, and everybody had an OP'
portunity of seeing and enjoying all that took place. The
usual entertainmen-s of the evening attracted the attention
of the visitors, and the extraordinary feats of Mdlle. P.
Cuzent and Madame Lejars in the equestrian circle, with
the display of talent by other artistes, dr w forth the
loud and hearty applause of the spectators The appearance
of this very old and very favourite place of recreatial
is, under the present proprietary, better than it has bee°
for many years. The whole has an appearance of fresh'
ness and good taste; little is left for the public to wish for
or require.

telligence of the death of their valued missionary, the Ref'
Alfred Willis Street, M.A., senior professor of Bishop's Co.
lege, Calcutta, at the age of 42, after twelve years of IT;
interrupted labours in Bengal. Most truly may it be tuF°,
that he died in his Master's service. Hearing that a missloa

Sunday, he went to supply the vacancy, though in weak
health, slept two nights on the Ganges, and returned to

evening of April 29, and was buried by the Bishop on We"'
nesday, the 30th.

TIIE
FRIMLEY IJEDEIL—A good many rumours
and statements having been circulated with regard to the
disposal of the accomplice in the above melancholy affair, it
may not be uninteresting to the public to know how the
ma ter really stands. At the conclusion of the trial Mr.
Baron Parke, who tried the case, signed A warrant ordering
the accomplice to be kept in custody till the next assizes/
and at the conclusion of the assizes he was taken back to
the county gaol, Horsemonger-lane. He has repeatedly
complained of the course adopted by the authorities towards
him, and a few days back he requested the attendance of
Mr. Neale, the solicitor who conducted the defence, and that
gentleman, at his (Smith's) request, has addressed a memo-
rial to the Secretary of State, setting forth the facts of -the
case, and requesting Sir George Grey to fulfil the conditions
under which Smith consented to give evidence, and also
claiming a portion of the reward. No answer has yet been
received to this memorial, but it is understood that the in-
tention of the Government is to hand over a small sum of
money to Smith, and make some arrangements that will re-
move him from this country.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ST. PANCRAS,—A fire broke
out on Saturday night in the premises belonging to Mr.
George Hardy, oil, colour, and Italian warehouseman, at No.
28, Aldenham-terrace, 01 St. Pancras road. It was nearly
four hours before the firemen succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, and not before they had penetrated every floor
in the premises, and done an immense amount of mischief.
The whole of the furniture and stock in trade are nearly
consumed. A watchmaker and jeweller named Shaw also
occupied a portion of the premises, and it is to be regretted
that he has likewise lost his furniture and stock in trade
by the disastrous event. Unfortunate]
was insured. neither sufferer

mittee proceeded soon after the chair was taken to ballot,
and the successful candidate was Mr. Bebnes. After a
short discussion, upon the motion of Sir J. W. Hogg, the
site opposite to the Mansion•house and King William-street
and Princes-street was decided upon as the most eligible by
a large majority. It was subsequently stated that Mr.
Bebnes had intimated that if his model should obtain the
preference it would certainly be his wish to fix the statue on
the spot in favour of which the committee had decided.
SHEEP IN THE PARKS..--It would be well if some
moderate restriction were placed upon the admission of flocks
of sheep to the greensward of the fashionable parks of the
metropolis. To the ladies especially the present negligent
system is fraught with very great inconvenience.
