HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—It will be remem-
bered that a short time since certain parties were implicated
in an attempt to create a disturbance at the Italian Opera,
with the alleged view to force an engagement of Signor Salvi.
The parties being arrested on the spot and taken before the
magistrate, were bound over to answer the charge at the
Old Bailey Sessions, and the grand jury returned a true bill.
The affair, however, has terminated, as the following letter,
addressed to the lessee, will shovi:—

"Sir,—We beg to express to you ourgreat regret that we
should have caused you any annoyance by distributing at
the Opera-house the bills relative to an engagement of Signor
Salvi, the tendency of which was to create serious incon-
veaience to the public. We are fully aware of the serious re-
sults with which we should be visited were you to press the
present proceedings against us, and we have to express our
thanks for the lenient terms on which you have consented to
their abandonment, viz, the payment of 501. to ten charities
selected by you.—We are, Sir, your obedient servants,
" GEORGE HANWELL, London.
" Row FRERE, Bush Hotel, Bristol."
The following is the list of charitable institutions benefited
by the above Arrangement : Hospital for Consumption, West •
minster Hospital, Charing-cross Hospital, Paddington Hos-
pital, Samaritan Fund, Refuge for the Houseless Poor, Na-
tional Benevolent Institution, Royal Dispensary for Diseases
of the Ear, Governesses' Institution, and the St. Jobn's-wood
Almshouses.

ACCIDENT TO THE HON. Miss BOYLE.—We hear
that the Hon. Miss Caroline Boyle. niece to the Earl of Cork,
and Maid of Honour to the Queen Dowager, had a miraculous
escape from drowning last week, at Allarston, the Noble
Earl's seat near Frome. It appears that Miss Boyle was on
a pleasure excursion on the lake, and when pushing off
amongst some willows she lost her footing, and fell from the
boat where the water was 16 feet deep. Miss Boyle clung to
the boughs. Miss Warburton, her companion, threw her
the end of an oar from the shore. Miss Mary Doyle, who had
been waiting the arrival of the tow. boat, at the further end
of the lake, alone uamoored the boat, and assisted by Miss
Warburton, succeeded in dragging in the half lifeless lady
just as her strength was giving way and her hands were
relaxing their hold,
BRUSSELS, JULY 6.—Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Kent, sister to the King of the Belgians, accom-

Two of the royal carriages were ready to convey her Royal
Highness and attendants to ths palace of Laoken.
PORTSMOUTH, JULY B.—CIIINESE
further portion of this ransom has. been received at Ports-
mouth from on board her Majesty's ship Childers, from
Esq., of the Treasury, who will ,by J. W. Cooper,
ceed in charge thereof to London, to deposit the treasure at
pro-
the Royal Mint. The floating-bridge across the harbour
from Portsmouth to Gosport has been stopped since Friday
evening, owing to the breaking of one of the chains, thus
preventing the sending over of any carriages or horses, and
causing thereby much inconvenience on both sides the har-
bour. Every exertion la making to repair the damage, and
it is hoped the usual communication will be speedily restored.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT STRATFORD.— On Snn-
day morning, a few minutes after one o'clock, a de-
structive fire broke out in the High-street, Stratford, near
Bow, by which much property was destroyed of a most va-
luable character. Two houses are gutted, and two others,
with the contents of the whole, very seriously damaged. The
outbreak occurred in the house of Mr. Henry Ballard, watch
and clockmaker, and jeweller, 4, High-street. The building
contained seven rooms, and the fire was discovered at the
back of the premises by one of the K division of police. .The
parish engine and the Jeffery-square and the Wellclose-
square engines were soon upon the spot, and an abundant
supply of water was furnished. Before the engines front
town had arrived the flames had obtained firm hold, rttd the
house was on fire from the top to the bottom. The, interior
of the building was entirely consumed, as were else., the stock
and furniture, not a particle of either of which
,•4 saved. The
adjoining house, in the occupation of Mr.:ftehert Pearson,
grocer and cheesemonger, had also caugh:. fire, and another
on the other side, adjoining, was on fir at the back and roof.
Upwards of fifty of the neighbour-4 being employed at the
engines, the effect became shorti:" apparent, and in less than
an hour so greatly had the fir been subdued, that the inha-
bitants of No. 2, High-strP.4t,
chief part of the contents, of that building, the destruction of
which at one time aped inevitable. With incessant la..
hour' up to a quartr,r past three o'clock, the flames were sub-
dued, and all drAger of the extension of the fire was at an
end. How the, fire originated is not known.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning an
unfor'cunpte accident occurred to Cockrill, 108 L, one of the
officers at Astley's Theatre, which is likely to be attended
W'ith serious results. It appeared that about three o'clock,
as he was about to go off duty, he went over some new
houses at the rear of the theatre, in Stangate, to ascertain
whether the lead and workmen's tools were all safe, and on
crossing a plank on the first floor his feet slipped, and he fell
through the joists into the cellar, a depth of 20 feet, broke his
right leg, and seriously injured the spine. .He lay there
nearly 20 minutes, until his groans brought a constable to
his assistance, when he was speedily conveyed to Guy's Hos-
pital, where he now lies in a precarious state. He is
known to the publie as the " Duke," from his striking like-
ness to the Duke of Wellington.
Several of our Contemporaries have taken notice
of the omission of 100,0001. in the statement of the decrease
of the property-tax in the present quarter, the decrease being
stated in the published account to be 9,2241., whereas it
ought to have been stated as 109,2241. This error, however,
makes no difference in the comparison of the total increase
and decrease on the quarter, as we observe some of our core.
temporaries suppose, as there happens to be another omission
of the same amount on the opposite of the account. The
increase under the head of "Repayment of Advances" is
stated to be 36,3501. instead of 136,350/. ' • the sum received
under this head in the present quarter being 274,5574
and in the corresponding quarter of last year only 138,207/.
The aggregate amount of the decrease under the
several heads of revenue for the quarter is 771,2234 and that
of increase for the same period 594,9241„ instead of a decrease
of 671,2231., and an increase of 494,924/, as stated in the ac-
counts published on Saturday. The actual decrease on the
quarter is 176,2991., being precisely the same after this ce.r-
reetion is made as before. As these quarterly accounts can
never be made up till late in the evening of the sth of the
month, it is not surprising that in the hurry of transcribing'
the numerous copies of this account for theuse of the several
public journals, clerical errors of this sort should occasionally
occur; and when, as in the present case, there happen to be
omissions of equal amount on the two sides of the account the
error is very apt to be overlooked, as it does not affect the,
general result. —Her ald.
THE LANCASTER AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—TiIbi
important national work is now fairly commenced. A rjatis.
factory arrangement has been made between the cord an
