1 !FIRE ON THE BRISTOL AND EXETER RAlL-
WAY.—lntelligence was received in Exeter, o n Saturday,
that one of the bridges on the Bristol and Exeter line be-
tween Collumpton and Exeter, was on fire. Before it could

down train was delayed for a considerable time. Thetraffic
is resumed, the trains running at that point on the up line.

dropped from the engine.— Western Times.
GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—GREAT YAR-
MOIITH, Friday Night.—This morning, about two o'clock,
during a heavy gale of wind from the north-east, the smack
John Bull, of this town, drove on shore to the north of the
harbottr. Her crew were placed in a very perilous position,
the vessel being quite under water. The small surf lifeboat
belonging to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution was
immediately drawn on her carriage opposite to the wreck,
and manned by Captain Davies, R.N., Inspecting Comman-
der of Coastguard; G. Milligan, her coxswain; and a crew
of 11 men. Four of the smack's crew were, with some
difficulty released and taken on board the lifeboat. On the
coxswain jumping on board the wreck to rescue the fifth
man, the lifeboat unfortunately broke adrift, leaving him
and the poor fellow in a dangerous situation. However,
they were not to be allowed to perish if human power and
.skill could possibly prevent it. It was blowing very hard,
bitter cold, and the surf rising like mountains, threatening
every moment to engulf everyone. Again the lifeboat bore
up for the wreck, and succeeded after great risk, in taking
off the two men, and in bringing the whole safely to land.
THE CARLISLE COFFIN MYSTERY.—The Glasgow
.7Teraid says it has been ascertained that on the night of
the 17th March, 1859, a young woman of respectable ex-
terior, and attired in a black silk dress, a dark cloak, and
straw bonnet, obtained lodgings for the night in the house of
Mr. John Armour, joiner, 13, East Quay-lane, Greenock.
She appeared to be far advanced in pregnancy, and she had
with her a girl of fair complexion who appeared to be about
four years of age. She gave her name as Mrs. London.
The little girl was very ill, vomiting severely and during
the night became rapidly worse. Mrs. Armour spoke
of getting medical attendance, but Mrs. Loudon would
not permit it, alleging that her child was subject to
such attacks, and was liable to convulsion fits. The
child died between four and five in the morning. The
next day the reputed Mrs. Loudon went to Mr. Campbell,
registrar for the middle parish in Greenock, and reported
the death, giving her name as " Janet Loudon." She ob-
tained a coffin, and a box to enclose it in, from Mr. Andrew
Crawford, joiner, Westburn-street, Greenock. These were
Conveyed to Armour's house, and the body placed in the
,Coffin. On the lid of the box, Mrs. Loudon wrote an address
60 Dumfries; but at the railway station, whither Mrs. Ar-
inour had accompanied her, the latter saw her tear it off
and substitute for it the address found on the box at Carlisle
Mrs. Loudon, Bush Hotel, Carlisle." Mrs. Armour saw
her take her seat in the train for Paisley, and after that
heard no more about her. She appeared to be well educated,
. and wore a profusion of rings. She stated that her father
was a farmer near Dumfries, and that his name was Young,
"tld her husband was a draper in Hartlepool, named Wil-
liam Loudon. She said when she arrived at Greenock that
she was on her way from Dumfries to Hartlepool, although
it would be very difficult to reconcile such a story.
