RESIGNATION OF LORD LANGDALE.

In the Rolls' Court yesterday, after the hearing of some
unopposed petitions,
Mr. TURNER rose, and addressing Lord Langdale, said—ln
consequence of his Lordship's intended resignation he was de-
sired publicly to express to his Lordship the anxious hopes
of the bar that many years might be spared to him of happi-
ness in the bosom of his family. The bar and the whole
profession were deeply indebted to his Lordship for the
exertions he had made to simplify the proce-s and practice
of the court, and to lessen delay. He (Mr. Turner) ab-
stained from entering into particulars, but those exertions
had already led to many beneficial consequences, and would
lead to more.
Lord LANGDALE said, he confessed he was overpowered and
deeply felt the kind expressions that had been made use of.
If he could flatter himself that he merited what was so
kindly attributed to him, it would be his highest reward, but
that might not be. He was sensible of shortcomitgs. At
a cooler moment a more rigid scrutiny would be made of his
judieial character. The r,ports would show what he had
done and what he had not done, and at the same time would
' show how greatly he had been assisted by the learning, the
industry, and the integrity of the bar. Little did people
who only looked upon the surface know how very little
could be done by a judge without the honest co-operation of
those most useful assistants, a learned and honourable bar.
He had to express his gratitude for the greatest assistance
from a bar of that character, and he retired with the strongest
feeling of gratitude and respect.

FALLIOF A HOUSE —On Mon day morning, at seven
o'clock, the inhabitants of Mile-end New-town were much
alarmed in consequence of a loud report, which, on inquiry,
was found to have proceeded from High-street, by the sud-
den fall of a house, which was in the occupation of a female
of the name of Mills. Several persons ran to the spot, when
the premises were discovered to be a complete mass of ruins.
At the time the voices of some females were heard. A body
of men promptly set to work to extricate the sufferers. In
a few minutes 11Irs. Mills was extricated, upon which it was
ascertained that there were two more females in the ruins, a
Mrs. Michael and her daughter. Further search was made,
upon which a voice was heard, exclaiming " Break down the
wall." The voice came from the front parlour, in which Mrs.
Michael had been sleeping. The wall was knocked down
by some men, who succeeded in dragging her out. Her
(laughter, who slept in the two-pair, was afterwards ob-
sen-ed upon a bed, surrounded with bricks, tiles, and broken
timber. The females were taken to a surgeon's in the neigh-
bourhood, where Mrs. Mills was found to have received a
fracture of the right thigh and other severe injuries. She
was immediately taken to the London( Hospital. The other
females were ascertained to be but slightly hurt. The house
is su;,posed to have been built ab ve 100 years.
STRANGE CASE.—A few days ago a horse belong-
ing to Mr. William Ridsdale, farmer, of Rowley, near We-
therby, suddenly became ill and died. After death a living
snake, eighteen inches long, was taken from the aninsal's
