SHIP AGROUND.—LOSS OF LIFE.--An American aLip,
the Forest Oak, with a cargo of timber for Price arid
Co., of Gloucester, has met with a mishap in the estuary
of the Severn at Sharpness Point. The vessel bad
brought a cargo of nearly a thousand tons of deals from
St. Stephen's, end was entering the Gloucester and
Berkeley ship canal at Sharpness to proceed to Glou-
cester, when, having started too early on the tide, she
struck. She was being towed by two steamers, and
when she struck on the rand bank she heeled over,
throwing her deck cargo overboard, and some of her
crew with it. One poor fellow, who was drowned, was
picked up some time after in a "putt," a large wicker
basket used to catch salmon. The matter is under in-
vestigation. _ _

On Friday morning last, a Mr. Charlton, a professional
harlequin, who appeared at Drury-lane in the laet
Christmas pantomime, died in the Whitechapel work-
house, leavinci his wife and children in a very miserable
condition. The circumstance was recorded in The San
the same evening, and it immediately attracted the at-
tention of time of the gentlemen forming the committee
of the Fielding Fund, now in process of creation from
the proceeds of the late amateur pantomime, for the
prompt relief of distr, ssed literary and theatrical persons.
A. member of the committee personally visited the
wretched residence of the poor people, and within con-
,iderably less than four-an(!-twenty hours of the pulili-
ca,ion of the paragraph, an arrangement was made for
the decent burial o: the ill-fated harlequin, the immediate
necessities of his family were provided for, and step=
taken for tip) kolicious administration of a little pe-
riodical relief, until they should have an opportunity of
earning sufficient to maintain themselves.
