A merchant in Boston advertises for sale a
camel hair shawl, the original cost of which in Calcutta
was 1,000 dollars.
Wednesday evening a fire broke out in the
premises of Channour Hall, Tibenbarn, by which a bullock
shed and some other buildings were destroyed ; fortunately
the live stock were safely got out and saved ; and it being
early, the fire was subdued liefore it reached the stacks.
It is sincerely hoped this fire was accidental and not the
work of an incendiary, as the occupier, Mr. J. Sparrow,
is nearly a stranger to the neighbourhood, liavin4 lived
there only since Michaelmas, and is a person highly re-
spected for general goodness of character, and acknow-
ledged benevolence..—Bury Herald.
A paragraph has gone the rounds of the
weekly and daily papers respecting the death of a
General officer, which was alleged to have occurred a
few tl eye since, under such mysterious circumstances that
the parochial authorities of St. George, Hanover.square,
had taken the subject up, and had adopted active proceed-
ings fur the purpose of giving the matter a full investiga-
tion. It was also stated that attempts had been made to
hush the afftir up, and to prevent the circumstances from
obtaining publicity. Some of the police were in conse•
quence directed to make inquiries into the report, and
the result his been to prove that the statements in the
piragraph referred to were grossly incorrect, and had
apparently resulted from interested motives. The real
facts appear from inquiry to be as follows :—About three
weeks or a month ago, Major General went with a
young female to a house of ill-fame in Woodstock-street,
which Louse he had been accustomed to visit with the
same companion for sonic wombs previously. About
three o'clock he was taken sudeenly ill, and his complaint
being of an apoplectic nature, medical assistance was
immediately sent for. As this was the third or fourth
attack during the last year, informa.ion of the circtims,ance
was furnished to his family, and his son and wift, imme-
diately attended. The usual remedies were applied in
attacks of such a nature, but they were ineffectual, as the
General expired the following morning. As there was
nothing extraordinary in the circumstances or manner of
tbe funeral took place
the death of Major-General
in the ordinary way ; and so tar from the perish autho.
rities having been engaged in the investigation of the
'natter, they knew nothing of the circumstance until the
publication of the paragraph in queation, which is re-
po: ted to have originated from the cupidity of one of the
palish beadles..—Times
