So great was the influx of visitors at Brighton on

several of these (particularly the Old Ship), from the
hour of four till eight, parties were eagerly waiting in
the coffee-room to seize on the dinner-tables the instant
they were vacated by others.

tinuatce. At half-past five upwards of 100 gentlemen

vice-chairs. There were also present, the Rev. Mr.

HOLBORN.—Holebourne is noticed in the Dooms-
day survey, where the King is said to have two cottages,
which pay xxd. a year to his Vice-comes. Tanner, in
the Notitia Monastica, refers to a charter dated so long
back as 1287, in which the grant of a place near Old-
bourne, where the Black Friars had before dwelt, to
Henry De Lacy, Earl of Linooln, is recited. Henry De
Lacy died here, in 1312, and upon its site the older part
of Linooln's Inn has since arisen.

Mr. Higgs held an inquest on Monday at the George,
Castle-street, Leicester-square, on the body of William

peared in evidence that the deceased was on Thursday
last employed to unload a barge of some mangel-wurzel.
The barge was moored off the market, aboxt ten feet
from the shore, so that deceased had to carry his load
along a plank. As he 1% as on the middle of the plank,
with a lead on his shoulders. the barge was unexpectedly
set in motion by the swell of a steamer leaving the pier,
and the plank being shaken the deceased fell into the
water. An alarm was instantly spread, and the drags
were brought and put into operation without delay. He
was found in about ten minutes, but quite dead. Ver-
dict—" Accidentally drowned."
PITHY BIOGRAPIIT.—Sumner Lincoln Fairfield
died at New Orleans on the 6th ult., in utter destitution,
wretchedness, and despair. He was a man of much in-
tellectual powers, but unbalanced by firmness of prin-
ciple, extravagant in expenditure without regard to
means, and fatally addicted to intoxicating liquors.—
New York Tribune.
SINGULAR CASE OF SACRILEGE.—A girl named
Carpenter, about eleven years of age, was discovered by
the sexton in St. Thomas's Church, early on Saturday
week. On being interrogated, she said she `went in the
previous evening to hear the singing, and the singers
leaving quickly she was locked in all night. In the
course of a any or two afterwards she was detected vend-
in.- a Bible and Prayer-book (which had evidently been
stolen from the church), and taken before the magis-
trates, but they could not bring the theft honie to her,
and she was discharged.—liampshire Advertiser.
