LAMENTABLE OCCURRENCE.—II 15 with the deepest
sorrow, the most painful regret, the particulars of a
frightful calamity have just reached us. A pony and
car were got this morning on the strand at Doran's
Island. The pony was dead, and there is every reason
to fear that Mr. Cuffe Martin and his lady, who had a
sea-lodge in the island, and who left this town at about
10 o'clock last night, have been lost in the tide. Indeed,
it is very generally reported that their bodies have been
found at the Point, clasped in each other's arms. Nothing
can exceed the sympathy and grief of all classes. We
never saw such an excitement in this town before at so
painful and unexpected an occurrence. It has been
rumoured that some of their children were in the car
with them, but we are well informed that all the children
are in the lodge on the island.—Sligo Journal.
RAILWAY NAVIGATORS.—The improvident habits
of the class of men known as " navigators" or " navies,"
are alluded to in a report to the Poor-law Commis-
sioners, from Mr. W. H. Parker, an Assistant-Commis-
sioner, which is appended to the Fifth Report of the
Select Committee on Railways. It appears that, during
the winter of 1842, as many as fourteen of these persons
were admitted in one night into the Abingdon work-
house. It is stated that they usually receive wages
varying from 3s. to 4s. 6d. for every ten
hours' labour, but are required by their gang
or fellow-workmen to subscribe a gallon of
beer daily, and another gallon at the time the gauger
or sub-contractor pays the wages. "As the works ap-
proach completion, employment is difficult to be ob-
tained, and then the labourers, having previously spent
their earnings in the most lavish manner, undergo the
severest privations, frequently subsisting for a
there l there
week upon the wages of a single day. Ultimatey
is no longer any prospect of employment upon that par-
ticular undertaking, and then the workmen remove, seek-
! ing shelter and food in the union workhouses on their
route, to some other locality where employment is more
abundant."—Railway Record.
