GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—Yesterday the di-
rectors of the Great Western Railway instituted a rigid in-
quiry into the circumstances attending the late accident at
Wotton Basset station, which was so near proving fatal to
the engine-driver and a number of passengers. The investi-
gation took place in the boardroom, at Paddington. Mr.
George, the superintendent of the station at Wotton Basset ;
Br. Burton, the superintendent of the railway police at Bris •
tol, who was passenger in the train at the time of the acci-
dent; Alias, the engine-driver; Morgan, the stoker, and a
number of the company's servants from Wotton Basset, were
in attendance, and gave evidence before the board. As the
inquiry was strictly private, the result is not yet known, but
it is said the evidence implicated Scull, the pointsman, whom
White relieved, in the charge of negligence, for which the
latter is undergoing two months' imprisonment.
THE GREAT FIRE IN me ClTY.—Notwithstanding
that upwards of a week has elapsed, there was, as late as
nine o'clock last night,"an immense quantity of re still re-
maining in the ruins of the premises destroyed in Mark and
Seething-lanes. At that hour the engines were actively
employed in pumping cold air into Messrs. Cunliffe and
Dobson's wine cellar, in order to reduce its temperature,
so that the valuable stock in trade might not be totally
spoiled. During the afternoon, a very large quantity of pigs'
bristles were dug out of that part of the ruins which the
firemen had succeeded in cooling.
BATHS AND WASDHOUSES IN ST. MA'S AND Sr. JOHN'S, WEsrsirNsTEa.--The vestry andRGARET
parochial
authorities of the united parishes of St. Margaret and St.
John, Westminster, have now in the course of erection, and
whih is nearl completed, a spacious building, situated in Pyec-street, near Peter-street, Westminster, which will be
appropriated to baths and washhouses on a very extensive
scale. The area will contain two plunging baths of between
forty and fifty feet in length, and of a depth varying from
three feet and a halt at; the sides to five feet in the centre.
There will also be above fifty baths for men and women,
with accommodation for washing and ironing linen. The
cost of the structure, including the purchase of the ground,
for which 3,000/. was given, will be nearly 14,0001. A shaft
has been built similar to that at the baths and washhouses of
St. Martin's. The parish authorities of St. Giles intend,
when they can get a piece of ground, to erect a similar esta-
blishment in that neighbourhood, and in the parish of St.
James steps have been taken for a like purpose.
AUDACIOUS ROBBERY AND APPARENT ATTEMPT
AT MURDER AT JERSEY.—On Thursday evening, between
seven and eight o'clock, an atrocious robbery and apparent
attempt at murder occurred at Beauval Cottage, in the Vaux,
inhabited by Mrs. Haycock and her three daughters and a
female servant, and of which residence Mr. Centenier Le
Bailly is the proprietor. Whilst the ladies were at tea the
servant went out to shut the greenhouse. On her return
her attempt to open the door was opposed, as she thought,
by some object which had fallen on the other side; but on
her using more force, and the door giving way, a man stood
before her with a knife in his hand, with which he struck
at her over the heart. The weapon was rendered almost
harmless by her stays, and she escaped with a slight incision
in the breast, but fainted with terror. Two stones seem to
have then been thrown at her head, but missed their aim ;
when the ladies, hearing the noise and men's voices, raised
reiterated cries of distress, which fortunately were heard by
a neighbour, who ran to their assistance. The villains,
however, thus surprised, had already taken flight, but had
Carried with them two small caskets which they had stolen
from a bed-room on the ground-floor, and which contained
25/. in money, and plate and jewellery of considerable value.
Centenier Le Bailly, informed of the circumstance, im-
mediately went in pursuit of the thieves, but that night un-
successfully; and we have not heard that the malefactors
have yet been discovered.— Jersey Times.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—An accident oc-
curred on Wednesday morning, on the Manchester, Sheffiel.i,
and Lincolnshire Railway, ab ut two miles from Sheffield,
involving the death of n man named Thomas Shemaldine.
It appears that about eight o'clock on Wednesday morning,
a special train, consisting of empty waggons, which had been
dispatched from Retford to Sheffield, was run in o while
passing through the Darnall tunnel, by a passenger-train,
returning from the Eck ington station, the junction with the
Midland Railway to Sheffield. The deceased, who was act-
ing as guard to the first train, and was standing on the
hindermost carriage, was thrown back by the collision, and
falling on the line in front of the engiue, was run over and
killed on the spot. His head was very much crushed, the
brains, &c., bespattering the rails. The accident isattribut-
able to the dense fog which prevailed at the time, which
ren-
dered it impossible to distinguish objects though only a few
yards distant.

way of Malta, announce that the currant crops have suffered
