SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th do not contain
any political news of interest. The Gazette says
that the bishops of Salamanca and Pampeluna have
sent addresses to the Queen thanking 'her for the
concordat. It was said that Count de San Luis con-
templated becoming a candidate for Cuenca at the
approaching elections for the Cortes. A letter says
that there was no truth in the report that was cur-
rent,that M. Bazanallana was about to be replaced
in the Ministry of Finance by M. Seijas. It says
also that the proposed formation of a ministerial
department for the colonies had been abandoned,
in consequence of the nomination of M. Gonzales
Bravo, who had been intended for it, to the em-
bassy at London.

A letter from Turin of the 13th says :—" The
King is about to set off immediately for Nice, where
he will remain until the middle of December, and
then return to Turin for the opening of the Legis-
lative session, which will take place, it is said, on
the 20th of that month. His Majesty will after-
wards return to Nice, and remain for a great part
of the winter."

TEE F09.-LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.

20RBE LIVES LOST.

A lamentable occurrence took place during a dense
fog which prevailed on Monday evening, in the vicinity
of Hackney wick-lane, at the south-eastern extremity of
Victoria-park, which resulted in the loss of three lives.
On the towing-path of Sir George Duckett's Canal, near
the North London Railway arch, lived a man named
Hayes, who had charge of the lock gates, his wife, and
five children. On Monday afternoon a Mrs. Chubb, the
wife of a cooper, living in Ben Jonson-street, Stepney,
accompanied by her daughter, a fine little girl, about
six years of age, called to see Mrs. Hayes. About half-
past 7 the two females and child left, and, although the
fog was so dense as to prevent the water being distin-
guished from the land, they strangely enough proceeded
Wong the towing-path for the purpose of meeting Hayes,
who at the time was returning from the upper lock gate.
Nothing more was seen or heard of them until yester-
day morning, when their bodies were diScovered in
the canal. It appears that Hayes reached• his home
a few minutes after they had left, without seeing any-
thing of them, and was almost immediately called out by
cries of " Help." He ran down to one of the lower
locks, and found a private watchman, attached to some
neighbouring new works, had fallen into the canal, and
was struggling for life. Hayes after some difficulty got
him out, and had him removed to his own house, where
he recovered. The night passed without hearing any
tidings of the missing women. At length, however, about
half-past eight, a brother-in-law of Hayes discovered the
body of a little girl floating on the water of the lock, and,
having got it out, identified it as that of the child of
Mrs. Chubb. The drags were then used, and near the
spot, just outside the lock, where there is seven feet of
water by the bank, were found the bodies of Sri'
Hayes and Chubb. At this part of the canal the towing'
path somewhat suddenly turns off. The poor creatures,
no doubt, could not Observe the turn, and so walked
straight into the water. The bodies were removed to
the White Hart public-house, Old Vord-lane, Bow, to
await a coroner's inquest. Mrs. Chubb was far advanced
in pregnancy, and has left five children. Mrs. Hay°r
has also left a similar family.
