sumed. The surrounding property was much injured.

THE BALLOT SOCIETY.—The weekly meeting of
the executive committee was held at the offices, 5, Guildhall
Chambers, on Tuesday, Mr. Elt in the chair. The com-
mittee were engaged during a long sitting in concerting
measures to be taken at the re-election of the new Ministers

at the late elections.

ing been adopted, it was also agreed that the members of
those societies heartily concurred with those of the other

THE INDEPENDENT LIBERALS.---The meeting at
Fendall's Hotel yesterday was the best that the Parlia-
mentary Reform Committee have yet held, and the discus-
sion terminated in a resolution expressing only so much
faith in the new Administration as to entitle them to " a
fair trial." Out of about sixty letters which had been re-
ceived from the country, about one-half conveyed the
opinion that the compact at Willis's Rooms had not been
fairly carried out in the composition of the Ministry ; and
as it was on the faith of this compact that this committee
had, during the debate on the amendment, called on all
Reformers to vote against Lord Derby, the meeting would,
perhaps, have been justified in speaking less favourably than
they have done of the new Ministry. But it is undoubtedly
best as it is ; for while moderation is at all times and in all
causes a virtue, it is one that the Independent Liberal party
'Will find to be the very keystone of their influence and pro-
gress.—Morning Advertiser.
ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPIIITIIEATRE.—On Satur-
day Mr. William Cooke, the talented lessee of this popular
place of amusement, will take a benefit, on which occasion
ho will be assisted by Miss Rebecca Isaacs, who will appear
as the Daughter of the Regiment. A number of other
eminent performers will give their services, and altogether
a very great treat may be expected, if we may judge from
the bill of fare.

- • On Tuesday, whiich was the longest day, the sun

Bp. m. The length of the day was consequently 17 hours
32 minutes, and that of the night 6 hours 28 minutes.
CULLERCOATS LIFE-BOAT. NORTH SHIELDS,
June 22.—The new life-boat and carriage which the Royal
National, Life-Boat Institution has sent to this station had
their quarterly trial on Monday. The life-boat proceeded
to Tynemouth and then back to Cullercoats. Some trials
of speed in rowing were made with other life-boats, but the
National Life-Boat Institution's life-boat proved to be the
fastest even in smooth water; in a heavier sea she would
undoubtedly have had greater advantages. This life-boat,
being of different construction to the excellent boats of the
pilots, excited a good deal of attention, and, as a matter of
course, there was a variety of opinions expressed about her.
As a life-boat she had already been out to rescue during
heavy seas, and proved to be an excellent sea boat, and her
crew like her much. She has been built from the
most approved design of the institution; and as the
society now has the experience of eighty-two life-boats,
it is only reasonable to assume they will havo learnt which
is the best sort of boat for every purpose and locality. The
lifeboat house has recently had considerable improvement
made in it, amongst which we notice a new room set apart
for storing a couple of mortars with all their necessary ap-
paratus for saving life where it is impossible for the life-
beats to approach, and a separate room for the life-boat
stores, well lighted and ventilated. The ways and flooring
of the boat-house have been all relaid and a thorough
system of drainage and ventilation adopted. The road
from the boat-house and the haven to the bank top is now
in progress of being widened and otherwise improved
under the able superintendence of the borough surveyor,
and when completed, this lifeboat establishment will bo
equal to any of the other establishments of the .Royal Na-
tional Life-boat Institution, which now has no less than
eighty-two life-boats upon different parts of the coast. We
again heartily recommend this truly national institution to
the support of the community at large.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening Mr. Bedford,
coroner for East Middlesex, held an inquest in the board-
room of St. George's Workhouse, on the body of Anne
Oliver, 60, a single woman, who was in the employ of Lord
Stratford do Pedeliffe, and lost her life by falling from a
window on to some lends at the rear of the premises, 39,
Grosvenor-square. There was no evidence to show how
the accident occnrred. She had received a compound frac-
ture of the thigh and other injuries, and expired in the
course of a few hours. A verdict of accidental death was
