DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
ceous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con •
?fibution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, tyre-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tazes which the Judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
HULL, Malta' 5.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—Arrivals of
all articles continue moderate. The trade has been quiet
during the week, without decline being quotable. For to-
day's market our farmers brought forward a fair supply of
wheat; quality and condition good —price much the same as
last week, if anything, the turn lower. No alteration in
foreign, but sales not extensive. Malting barley very dull
sale, and the demand for grinding sorts very limited, though
offering low. Beans is lower. Nothing doing in peas. More
inquiry for oats at our currency, but the stock held is insig-
nificant. The import of rapeseed is for the interior, and does
not come on the market. Rape cakes arc firm. Not much
business passing in linseed, and cakes are unaltered. Bones
are inactive ; but there is a good demand for guano, which
may be quoted, Peruvian 91, Ichaboe 8/ 10s, Patagonian 7!,

ENGINEERS' LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.
REPORT OF DIRECTORS TO ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,
1849.
The position of the Society's affairs enables the Directors to con-
gratulate the members upon the i'ery satisfactory solution of the pro.
blem given in the last year's report.
During the year 1849, 748 proposals for assurance; to the amount
of 192,0301., have been submitted to the board, 60 of which the di-
rectors deemed it prudent to decline, 45 stood aver for further consi-
deration or completion, and 643 policies, Fecuring the sum of 165,2701.,
and producing premiums to the amount of 5,0471. 2s. 4d. have been
completed.
The total number of policies completed to the 31st of December
was 851.
Ihe annual income derivable from premiums 7,1131. ss. 11d.
Notwithstanding the large number of members assured with this
society, and the fearful epidemic which visited this country during
the past year, only seven claims from death, and to the amount of
but 1,2501. have arisen.
The directors cannot too frequently call the attention of the mem-
bers, and through them, of the public, to two features which must
have mainly contributed towards the attainment of this great success,
viz., that this society has never required the members of the medical
profession to give information as to the proposers' state of health with-
out remuneration from the office, for the benefit of which such infor-
mation is sought and given ; and that it was the first Life Assurance
Society to abolish the obnoxioui impost of policy stamps, as royale
by assurers.
The directors earnestly request the continued exertions of the as-
sured to sustain the high position of favour with the public already
secured; and they feel persuaded that the members cannot bat re-
ceive great assistance in their endeavours to promote the well-being
of the society from the report which the directors now with confi-
dence and satisfacticn present to them.
By order of the Court of Directors,
FREDERIC LAWRANCE, Actuary and Secretary.

LIZRHS; MARCH s.—We have a very large arrival of wheat
at market to-day, but moderate of other articles. Wheat is
Is to 2s per qr. lower than last Tuesday, and millers are
cautious in making purchases. In barley and oats we do not
alter our quotations, but to sell they are rather in favour of
the buyer. Beans are fully Is per qr. lower.
LIVERPOOL, AlaitcH s.—At this day's market there was
but a thin attendance of buyers, who acted with extreme
caution, and in the few sales made a considerable decline had
to be submitted to. Wheat must be quoted fully 2d to 3d
per 70Ib, and flour Is per sack and Cd per barrel lower. Oats
and oatmeal met with little attention, though offered at a re-
duction of Id per 451 b, and 3d per load. Barley, beans, and
peas, with only a slow retail sale, were 6d to Is per qr. lower.
Indian corn, with a very limited demand, declined 6d per qr.;
Galatz being offered at 27s 6d, new yellow American at 263 6d,
and white at 28s per qr., without leading to much business.

Tltis work contains an accurate and eomplete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering front their Invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From tee RPport of the Regilt-ar-General.)
In the we( k ending last Saturday-, the deaths in
the metropolis were only 896, a result which indi •
cates'a low rate of mortality at the present time as
compared with this season in former ye:J.B. During
the last month, the numbers returned weekly have
been 1,094, 957, 938, 911, and 896, exhibiting a ccn-
tinuous decline. In the week corresponding to last,
of the years 1840-9, they were never lower than 916,
in seven of the ten weeks they ranged above I,COO,
and last year, when cholera was approaching and
various epidemics were rife, rose to 1,138. The
average of the ten corresponding ' eeks, is, 1,042,
which corrected for increase of population, beccmes
1,138 ; the present decrease on this estimate is there-
fore 242. ln the eight principal epidemics, with the
exception of diarrhoea, there is now a marked decrease;
diarrhoea was fatal to 18 persons (two-thirds of whom
were children), which differs little from the number of
the same week of the last two years, but is more than
the average of the corresponding ten weeks. At 3,
lElliott's-row, London-road, the son of a painter and
glazier, aged eight years, .died of English cholera,
after 17 hours' illness. On the 24th of February, at
7, Albert-street, the daughter cf a gunsmith, aged
four years, died from hydrophobia, caused by the bite
of a rabid dog on the 15th of November last, accord-
ing to the verdict of a jury. Last Week consumption
was fatal to 93 persons; there died on an average in
former periods, 136. Under other diseases of the
respiratory organs, exclusive of hooping-cougb, the
aggregate is 176 deaths; formerly at this season, they
have varied from 160 to 259. The deaths of two
persons are referred, one to disease arising from in-
temperance, the other to injury during intoxication.
One person died of want, and another is also sup-
posed to have sunk from destitution. The former was
a porter, of 73 years, in Parson's-court, St. Luke's.
The latter, a single woman of 51 years, was found
dead in bed at 37, Elizabeth-street, in the Church
sub-district of liethnal•green.
The mean daily reading of the barometer, at the
Royal Observatory, Greenwich, was above 30 in.
throughout the week ; the mean of the week was
30.168 in. The mean temperature of the week was
42 deg. 8 min., or 30 deg. 3 min. higher than the
average of the same week in seven years.

ALARMING OCCURRENCE AT THE OLYMPIC THEA•
TAE —Last night, about eight o'clock, much consterna-
tion was excited in the immediate vicinity of the Olympia
Theatre, in constquence of a dense body of smoke and
volleys of sparks rising, apparently from the top of the
stage. Ia the course of a few minutes several hundred
persons congregated around the theatre, and a general
shout of Fire !" was raised. Ilad it not been for the
admirable precautions of the lessee and other parties
connected with the theatre, it is quite probable that a
similar calamity to that which took place some time
back at the Glasgow Theatre would have happened. As
it was, the n anagement at once ordered the whole of the
upper windows and I entilators to be closed, which pre-
vented the audience from hearing the noise in the street.
Messengers started in sundry directions for the firemen,
and in the course of a few minutes numerous Brigade
and the West of England engines were taken to the
place, but, fortunately, their services were not required.
The cause of so much alarm and confusion was owing to
some workmen using fire to solder a pipe on a roof near
the stage of the theatre. Fortunately, no one in the
house-was aware of what was going on in the street.
SUDDEN DEATH Or A CLERGYMAN.—On Friday
last the Rev. H: Thompson, rector c f Fobbing, in Essex,
attended the Protectionist meeting at Grays, and on his
return from thence was suddenly attacked by illness
while driving home, no one being with him. He was
observed by some labourers to be teelining over the side
of his chaise, who instantly went to his assistance, but he
shortly ceased to breathe. An inquest was held, when,
on the evidence cf a physician and of the before-men-
tioned parties, a verdict was returned of "Natural
death."
RUNNING A Rrsß.—The Liverpool Mail states that
on Friday last, shorty ef:er two o'clock, the Earl of
Sefton drove a chariot and pair along the north bridge
of the landing-place, then along the stage back to the
south bridge. The lives imperiled in this adventure
were these cf three ladies and a gentleman inside, in
addition to that of the noble Earl, and of a " tiger" out.
Sam LAUNClL—Yesterday (Monday) a hand-
somely-mcdeted clipper schooner was launched from
Mr. William Bailey's ship) arc', at the Cliff. Her re-
gistered tonnage is 80 ; by the old measurement 115.
Shortly before four o'clock she was " st t up," the " dog
shore" was struck away, and as the vessel commenced
her descent Miss Bailey broke a bottle of wine over her
cutwater, and christened her " The Ipswich Lass."
Hearty rounds of cheers followed, and the beautiful

little schooner, which bad descended to her home in ex-
cellent style, was shortly after securely moored along-
side the wharf. A number of nautical men were in at-
tendance, by whom the vessel was a armly commended.
We understand that she has Lean built on speculation.—
Ipswich Express.
ABERDEEN UNIVERSITY CLLTIC SOCIETY.—On
Friday week the members of this society held their an-
nual supper in Grant's Hotel, Marischal-street. The
society numbers wrong its members Celts from all the
Highland counties—Sutherland, Caithness, Ross, Inver-
ness, Moray, Nairn, Argyll, wad Perth, bad each its re-
presentatives. After partaking of an excellent supper,
which did great credit to the hostesP, Mrs. Grant (lets of
Campbeltown, Fort-George), the punch-bowl made its
appearance, and the chairman called upon the company
to fill a special bumper to " The Queen, Ler Consort, and
Family." He proposed this toast, he saki, not because it
R. as customary and right that all loyal subjects should
drink the health of their Sovereign—this was too general
and vague a reason—he proposed it because he well knew
that every Highlander would feel hurt did wry toast take
precedence of their beloved Queen. He referred to the
honour conferred on the Highlanders by her Majesty's
throwing aside all " the pomp and circumltanea" of her
rank, and sojourning among them as a private individual
—as the Gudewife of Birkhall. Then there was her
Royal Consort, who, he believed, was a Highlander at
heart, and showed it by studying the language of the
Gael; and did not their royal children appear even in
the Saxon's country in the " garb of c.ld Gaul?" Ho
then called on them to drink to " The Queen, her Royal
Consort, and their Royal Family."—(Drunk with High.
land honours.) Next came "Success to th 6 Aberdeen
Universities' Celtic Society," also drunk with Highland
honours, followed by "Professor Tulloch, the Patron of
the Society," " The Highland Clergy," " Our Univer-
sity and its ProfessOrs,' "The Living Gaelic Author,"
" The Press," &c., all which were enthusiastically re-
sponded to. All the speeches mere (with one or two
exceptions) and the whole conversation carried on in

Gae and the various speakers evinced by their fluency
and correctness of expression that the discussions car-
ried on at their weekly meetings had given them a
thorough command of the Cultic tongue. After spend-
ing a most agreeable evening, the company separated at
a late hour, highly delighted with the evening's festi-
vities.— Inverness Courier.

BOILER EXPLOSION--A most alarming accident
occurred yesterday morning between the hours of seven
and eight at the Albion Brewery, Camdsn-town, be-
longing to Messrs. Baker and Son, from the explosion of
a boiler, of six horse power, which has resulted in the
total destruction of the interior cf the premises, besides
causing a great devastation of property to the houses
adjacent. So fearful was the explosion, that the neigh-
bourhood of Hampstead and Highgate felt the effects so
severely, that they feared at first it proceeded from the
shock of an earthquake. The houses in Caroline-place,
to the left of the brewery, have had the whole of the
windows completely shattaed, and most serious alarm
was caused to the inhabitants by a tremendous shower
of bricks felling into the back gardens. A part of the
boiler (221bs. in weight) was blown upwards of 300 yards
to the rear of the premises of the British Queen public-
house. There were only five workmen on the premises
at the time of the accident, none of whom have received
any serious injury. One man, who was in the mash-tub
close to the engine, at the time cf the explosion, escaped
with only his c.lpbeing blown off, whilst another was
blown through a door into an inner room, but was not
injured. The cause of the accident is not known, nor
leas the amount of damage caused by it been ascertained.
WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY.—Last
evening a public met t!ng was held at the Royal British
Institution, City road, for the purpose of explaining the
principles and objects of this association. Mr. James
Falser in the chair. Mr. Tindal Atkinson, Mr. James
Taylor (secretary of the Birmingham Society), and
other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the follow-
ing resolution was unanimously adopted :—" That this
meeting is t f opinion that freehold land societies offer to
the indut trims classes the most profitable investment for
their savings, and are efficient agents for engendering
habits of forethought and a spirit of independence,
and the mett!ng recognis, s in the general estimation of
there so&eties a most efficient mode of gradually and
legally extending the suffrage, by increasing the number
of voters for county Members, and that it behoves
every man who is anxious to extend the representa-
tion cf the people to contribute by all in his power
to their encouragement and support ; and that inas-
much as the Freehold Land Society embraces within

its operat'ons the home counties, bliddlesex Le:tig in-
cluded, this meeting considers it worthy of being sup-
ported by the people of the Tower iiandeti." A. vote of
thanks having bsen voted to the chairman, the meeting
separated.
THE " FATTIER " OF NOV SOUTH WALES—
ANDREW HAMILTON HUME.—The Sydney papers an-
nounce the death of Andrew Hamilton Hume, Esq , of
Glenrock and Humewood, iu New South Wales, on the
23d of Septeml et last. He was conventionally known
as the "father of the culony," having lived in it longer
than any other existing individual, and he was therefore
the senior member of all our:col.nists in the southern
hemispbe-e.
THE VACANT JUDICIAL SEAT AT THE CENTRAL
CRIMINAL COURT.—Ic a very few days the appointment
to the vacancy of Common-Sergeant, occasioned by the
death of Mr. Sergeant Mirehouse, will, it is said, be con-
ferred upon Mr, Commissioner Bullock, who has for so
many years been one of the Commissioners of this Court,
and to whose prorco'ion, it is said, no opposition will be
offered. Should this occur two other situations bccone

vacant in consequence, it being intended, from the aug-
mentation cif busir eis owing to the late alterations in the
process for the recol ery of small deLta, for the future to
divide the labour by appointing a different judge to the
Small Debts Court of the City. The vacant Commit-
sionersbip is likely to give rise to a sharp contest, there
having been for some time two candidates, in the persons
of Mr. Ryland, one of the senior City plealers, and
Mr. Russell. Gurney, whose interest in the City is said to
be very strong. Yesterday Mr. Michael Prendergast,
Q.C., issued a manifesto, of his intention to becon.e the
third candidate. The judgeship of the Small Debts Coast
is alio likely to be strongly contested, and in the event
of Mr. W. Payne, the coroner fur the city of London,
and one of the candidates, succeeding in the election, it
will leave the situation of coroner to bo filled. This it
also teems wilt create a stir, fur several gentlemen,
acting upon the mere expectation of Mr. Payne's dee-
iPaotelicAcidcoeurmr'a.

LIFE A So ITRANCE SOCIETY.-1 C annual meeting of
this society, which is conducted on the purest principles
of mutual assurance, was held 3 esterdey at the head
office, 1•1,,. 345, Strand. From the report which was
read to the members by the actuary, it appeared that
during the year 1849, 643 new policies, producing fresh
premiums to the amount of 5,047/. had been granted by
the society, while, notwithstanding the cholera epidemic,
only seven claims from death had arisen in the same
period. At the same time it was announced that the
total number of policies which had passed the Board of
Directors up to the present ray was 910, producing an-
nual premiums to the amount of 7,700/. odd. When the
report presented to the members was of so satidectory a
nstare it is hardly necessary to state that the proceed-
iags were characterised by the gieatest unanimity. The
usual votes of thanks to the ivoithy Chairman, Mr. W.

F. Dobson, and the er directors and offiders, were
Massed. nem con., an the meeting separated after an
earnest exhortation from the Chairman to the members
to sustain by continued exertions the high position
which the society had already secured in the esteem of
lite public.
/ ACCIDEAT ON THE CROYDON cor
respondent has forwarded a letter containing an eo
count of an accident which occurred to one of the trains
on the Croydon line on Friday night last. It is fur-
nished by one of the passengers, who states that at the
junction of the Brighton and Croydon line, from some
cause not ascertained, the engine and part of the train
was on the Brighton Ike while the other was on the
Croydon, and consequently one of the carriages was
twisted across the rails, thrown on its side, and smelted.
That immediately preceding, in which the historian of
the accident was seated, was thrown off the line and
dragged on over some of the mile, but was fortunately
stopped as it was on the eve of being thrown over. No
lives v,ere lost, a few bruises and some slight injuries
from broken glass being fortunately the whole extent et'
personal damage sustained.
We understand that the Rev. Dr. Vaughan (heed
master of Harrow School) will shortly lead to the hyme-
neal altar Miss Kate Stanley, youngest daughter of the

LORD Got:GlL—The Tipperary Free Press says :
—" We understand that his Lordship purposes returning
to the land of his fathers, and that his seat, Rathronan
House, in the vicinity of this town, is being prepared for
his reception. If this be so, we can fairly promise him
a cued millefalthe which will cheer his truly Irish heart,
and amply repay him for those slights which, attempting
to be cast on a good and brave man, reflected only die..
cornfiture upon their originators.
THE I.lAunourt.—The shipping season has now
fairly commenced, and the harbour has a very animated
appearance, presenting a pleasing contrast to the dull
and gloomy aspect which it usually wears during the
winter months. At present there are nearly fifty ves-
sels, some cf them of very large tonnage, at the Broomie-
law, loading for foreign and colonial ports. Of these
eight are for Montreal, four for Valparaiso, three for
Singapore (two of which touch at Batavia), eight for the
United Stetes, one for Calcutta, several for the West
Indies, and a number for various Continental ports.—
Glasgow Dagy
It was reported yesterday that the Bank of England
had made a large advance to the London and North-
Western Railway Company on their debentures at air
per cent,, but the statement was without foundation.
appears, however, that in all the loansataieed by the
company during the present year the terms have been
limited to that rate.
The failure was announced yesterday of Messrs.
Benjamin Smith and Sons, copper smelters, of Bow-
common and Threadneedle street. Their liabilities are
understood to be considerable, although not extended
amongst numerous parties. The firm was established •
few years back, with the view cf carrying out a new
patent, upon the intrinsic value of which the prospects
of the creditors, it is presumed, will in some measure
depend.
PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.---This morning, at a quarter
after nine o'clock, a very serious accident occurred at
the Plymouth station of the South Devon Railway. The
goods train due about half-past eight o'clock, being very
heavily laden, was about half an hour after its time. On
anroaching the station the guards found it impossible,
owing to the slippery state cf the rails, to stop the train,
it rushed impetuously into the station, and the engine

end. The engine fireman, James Bolt, is dangc rcusly
cut about the head; the driver, Tunstall, seeing the
danger, jumped off, and ran along the platform. The
engine, the Corsair, a new one, lately purchased by the

tered. The accident will cause no interruption to the

A COCKROACH-KILLING DcG.—We must introduce
to the lovers cf the marvellous a wonder in the shape c f
a deg, the property of Mr. Thomas Bennett, of the
Church-side, Macclesfield. This animal, which is I ept
in the factory, has been in the habit of killing cockroaches,
with which the factory is infested, by putting them under
the pressure of his right paw. By some accident the
paw was disabled, and the animal saw, doubtless with
much dismay, the enemy rapidly inert axing on his
Lands—or, rather,: under his paws. A few weeks ago
he exemplified the old adage, that "necessity is the
mother of invention," by lying down among a whole
host of his adversaries and rolling over them, thus effec-
ting at "one fell swoon" what had formerly cost him
considerable troule/e. having made this discovery ho
wad n: t the sort a dog to neglect taking adran'age of
it, and he may DOW be seen any morning taking a roll
amongst the cockroacher, and then surveying the slaugh-
tered foe with an appearance of eatisfactior.--elfaceles-

THE PIKE.—On Friday last an extraordinary fine
specimen of the pike was caught by W. Essington, Esq.,
of Ribbesford House, in a pool belonging to Arthur
Skey, Lg., of Spring grove, Bewdloy. When brought
to the scale, this " monster of the deep," was fund
to weigh upwards of 321b5., and in length more
than four feet. It was in excellent condition, and
afforded good sport. It was immediately forwarded to
Mr. Thomas Robinson, cf this city for preservation,
and we may take the opportunity to mention that the
excellent tackle which captured the fish was supplied
by Mr. Flinn, of this city.— Worcester Herald.
STATE OF TRADE.--MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—
The market to day has been very quiet. The demand,
whether for cloth or 3 are, has been limited, and with
prices further tending in favour of the buyer. The cur-
rent numbers of Indian yarns have been rather an excep-
tion to general busineee, the inquiry for these being still
to a considerable extent, end prices remaining tolerably
firm. Short-tine anti the stippatee of the mills in many
quarters continue. The advices from the United States
tend rather to a farther reduction of the estimates of the
cotton crop, but prices Lave bean already so advanced by
speculative means, and the consumption has been so
grossly exaggerate'', and is so greatly curtailed, that so
far from there being any tendency to advance in the
Liverpool market, prices tend in favour of the buyer.
Printing cloth is still low, and prices are giving way, par-
ticularly in the lower qualities. 40-inch skirtings con-
tinue to be sold to a fair extent, especially in the latter
reed?. Domestics remain dull, and, if any change, are a
shade lower.
MONTHLY TEMPERANCE DEMONSTRATION.—The
sixth Temperance Dernonstratiion (the last of the
series) took place on Monday evening, in Exeter Hall,
Mr. John Cassell in the chair. The subject of censi-
deration was, that int( xicating liquors are not essential
to health or comfort, and their entire abandonment is
promotive of the physical, intellectual, social, and reli-
gious conditicn of the community. After af: w preli-
minary words from the chairman, Mr. F. W. Pe. lilt ad-
dressed the meeting on the subject [proposed for that
evening, and was wet received throughout a long and
eloquent discourse. Mr. James Taylor, from Birming-
ham, entertained the meeting with a narrative a his
own life, le f ore and after ho had taken the test .tal
pledge, from the time when, he said, he occupiedla room,
for ah:ch he paid 2s. 7d. a week, and was always in at-
rear, and the time when he built Temperance Cottage,
in the neighbourhcod of Birmingham. lie remembered
well when, after taking the pledge, the clothes he had
worn on his back were convei ted int ) a mop for cleaning
his new lodgings. The Temperance Society cf Bir-
mingham, he stated, had purchased freehold laud to the
I value of about 19,000/. Mr. George Cruikshank, who
was received with great applause by the meeting, is
allusion to his popular sketches ;of " The Bottle," said,
that though he bad been a member of ntonaperairce so-
nic only for three years and a half, he had enter-
ta'ned to a great extent his present views on the evil
effects of drink from his very youth, and referred to his
sketch of the " Gin Juggernaut" in exemplification.
On the motion of Dr. Gourley, seconded by Dr. Burns,
an address was adopted to his Majesty the King of
Sweden, on the subject of the temperance reformatice,
and thanking his Majesty for the active interest which
he has t :ken in the abatement cf intemperate habits

tary to the Board of Prisons in Sweden, who is at pre-
seat on a visit to this country for the purpcse of collect-
ing information as to the statistics and treatment of
criminals in England, acknowledged the compliment.
During the evening about 20/. was collected in aid of
the expenses attendant upon the course of six monthly
meetings airs ady held in Exeter Hall, which, added to
about r:00/. already collected, will nearly be sufficient to
cover all the outlays. A vote cf thanks to the chair-
man was proposed by Mr. Cruikshank, and seconded y
Mr. W. West, after which the meeting separat b

FIRE AT LOUGHBOROUGH BARRA CliS.—an Sunday
night a fire occurred at the above
tro
Dragoon
place. The
the 3d barracks
ace occupied at present by a o
Guards. At the bottom of the troop
yard is a large
dung-p:t, sunk below. the surface', and walled round to
the height of several feet above it. It has been the cus-
as well as manure from the stables,
tom t )threw ashes,
into this pit, and sometime on Sunday some hot cinders
appear to have been thrown in with a quantity of ashes.
These set fire to the manure, and in the course of the
evening the attention of an officer was called to it, but
he considered there was no danger. Near to the dung-
pit is a stable in which one of the officers (Lieutenant
Oroker, we l elieve) had four horses—thr ea hunters and
a trooper. In tee outer wall of the stable is a small
aperture to carry off the drainage, and just opposite is a
small aperture to admit it into the dung-pit. the flames
appear to have spread through these apertures and set
tile to the litter in the stable, and on Monday morning
the four horses were found suffocated. It is stated that
the horses were valued at from 300/. to 400/. The da-
mage done to the building was slight.
Streninn or A MILITARY OFFICER IN PAISLEY.--
It is our painful duty to record the death of Lieutenant
Noble, of her Majesty's 27th Regiment of Foot, by his
own act, which sad event took place in the Paisley Bar-
racks, on the morning of Tuesday last. He left the house
of a gentlemen in town the night previous about doen
o'clock, apparently in his usual health and spirits,
.and
was next morning found mat eeded from the stair-rail in
his quarters, by his own sash. The reuse cf his com-
mitting this ichh act is net known, but is supposed to
have been the result of temporary
insanity. His re-
mains were interred on Friday in the Abbey Church-
yard, with full military honours. .N orth British Mail.
