-- TAXATION.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
,SlR,—The time must soon come when " class" law-
making will cease. The sooner the better. It is
both impolitic and unjust to tax the weak and omit
the strong. That being the case, it is very disgrace-
ful that personal property should be subjected to
legacy duty, and real property exempt from it ; nay,
it is dishonest, and until real property is subjected to
the duty, dissatisfaction will justly prevail. Sir R.
Peel has the means of imposing a legacy duty upon
real estates, and it is but honest that he should do so.
Jan. 29, 1845. RIGHTDOING.

P.S. If Sir Robert does not steer a manly and
a honest course in the approaching session, I hope he
will get as many good hot tosses as will pancakes
on the day Parliament meets—Shrove Tuesday.

During the temporary absence of Miss Davenport
in the provinces, the management of this theatre has
determined to make legitimate opera a feature, and,
accordingly, last evening the opera of the Maid of
Judah was produced in a style worthy of any theatre
in the metropolis. Miss Alicia Nunn was the Re-
becca, Mr. Binge the Ivanhoe, and Herr Fidor the
Cedric. Miss Alicia Nunn is already well known
to the musical world. After a long pupilage in
Italy, after having been for a season or two the
prima donna at La Scala, she appeared at
the Italian Opera in London, and succeeded in
winning the suffrages of the most critical audience
in the world. Her success last night was complete,
albeit she was occasionally rather deficient in
intonation, being once now and then a shade too fiat
for the music. Her Rebecca, as a whole, was an ex-
cellent and praiseworthy performance, and was much
and deservedly applauded. We never heard Binge
to greater advantage ; his voice, which is too weak
for the large houses, is just the thing for the Olympic,
and gave the exquisite music of Rossini with great
taste and feeling. In the celebrated bravura, " Hark,
the trump of fame now soundeth," he was deservedly
honoured with the only encore of the evening.
Herr Fidor has a fine bass voice, and went through
the part of Cedric respectably. The opera was very
well cast in the acting parts. Waldron, as Bois
Gilbert, was a most valorous and right doughty knight ;
and Broadfoot's Isaac was, with the exception of poor
Egerton's, the best we have seen. Our old friend
Rayner, as Wamba, was a " fellow of infinite jest."
He kept the audience in a roar the whole time he was
on the stage. The house was well attended, and the
audience were sent laughing home by the drolleries
of Flexmore as the clown in the pantomime, which
still continues as attractive as ever.

TUE LIBRARY OF THE LATE DUKE OF SUS.SEX.---.
Yesterday the sale of the fourth portion of the library of
the late Duke of Sussex was commenced, at Messrs.
Evans's. The number of the lots in this portion is 2,648,
consisting of near 7,000 volumes, principally of the Greek
classics, and comprising many rare first editions. The
sale will last eleven days.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the
Bishop of Chester, the Dean and Chapter, the Marquis
of Westminster, the Earl of Stamford, Earl Grosvenor,
the Bishop of London, Wilbraham Egerton, Esq., Lord
Robert Grosvenor, the Marquis of Chohnondeley, and
Lord Crewe, are among the subscribers of donations,
from 201. to 100/. each, towards repairing and enlarging
the Chester Cathedral, the cost of which is estimated at
5.000 L The Dean and Chapter of Chester has just
given a second contribution of 300 L in furtherance of
that object.
POVERTY REWARDED.—The Hampshire Telegraph
boas:s a paragraph which we have read with a delicious
thrill of the heart-strings. One Ann Abraham, aged
upwards of ninety, has received at the West of England
Agricultural Meeting, as the reward of fifty years'
faithful servitude, the sum of 2/.—yes, forty shillings—
a very handsome recompense, though certainly not at
the rate of twelve-pence a year. She has, moreover, re-
ceived--" A handsome testimonial from the Society,
bearing the signature of the Marquis of Lansdowne, and
which, being framed and glazed, now forms an elegant
decoration to her cottage." Ann Abraham leas not
touched the forty shillings. No ; she has left the money
"to provide fir her burial, without burdening the
parish." Really, there is a fine spirit of economy ani-
mating these rewarding societies. For instance, the
poor man will keep cut of the workhouse—will starve
with a fine heroism for fifty years, so that at the end
of the half century he may obtain the rewarding
forty shillings. He obtain it ? No ; his corpse obtains
it, for he does not touch the money, leaving it that it
may save his remains from the obloquy of parish deals.
By such sweet:bribes, (not forgetting the " handsome tes-
timonial, framed and glazed,") the poor are not only
tempted to starve through life, but to bury themselves
when starving has done its worst. How must the father
of hypocrisy have chuckled and rubbed his iniquitous
hands, as he read the " handsome testimonial" made by
pharisaical benevolence to aged penury !—Punch.
RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A fatal accident occurred
on Friday last, on the departure of the night mail train
up, at the Wellington-station, to the night porter, whilst
in the act of connecting two trucks to one of the railway
carriages. The trucks were on another part of the line,
and as the train was returning to take up the trucks, the
man, standing in a position to link them together, was
crushed between the two, and the lamp projecting behind
came in contact with his arm and forced it into his side,
breaking in his ribs, forcing his lungs out of place, and
causing instantaneous death. The man has left a wife
with three young children.— Western Luminary.
FRAUDS ON THE REVENUE.—SeveraI causes in the
Court of Exchequer, at the suit of the Crown against
certain parties, for being concerned in the late frauds on
the revenue, are appointed for hearing at the commence-
ment of the ensuing week, and a number of the Customs'
officers have been subpoenaed on the part of the Crown,
though they can be but ill spared at the present time,
owing to the recent influx of shipping from all parts of
the world, and the consequent pressure of business in
eYery department of the port.]

THE STYN, LONDON`, FRIDAY EVIE-WINa, JAI*ZU'ARY 81 1545

RAILWAY ,INTELLIGENCII.

BRISTOL AND GLOUCESTER.
BRISTOL, THURSDAY EVENING.—A special general
meeting of the Shareholders of this Company was held
this afternoon, at the White Lion H)tel, Bristol, for the
purpose of taking into consideration the union of the
Birmingham and Gloucester and Bristol and Gloucester
Railways, and to empower the Directors to take shares
in the proposed Plymouth and Falmouth Railway.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said that
at the meeting of the Birmingham and Gloucester, held
the day before, the resolutions approving of the amal-
gamation of the two Companies had been passed unani-
mously.
The SECRETARY then read the report, which stated
that the proposed amalgamation had been adopted from
a conviction that isolated Companies, in comparison
with allied bodies, would seldom be in a position to
negotiate on equal terms with their more powerful
neighbours. It, therefore, behoved the smaller Com-
panies to form a timely union with their natural allies,
always provided they could do so on fair terms. The
present position of the capital of the Company was as
follows:--The entire capital expenditure is expected to
be about 700,000/. Seven thousand five hundred and
thirty-nine shares have been created, on which 241,17J1
has been paid, and the further sum of 165,000/. has been
raised on debentures, which exhausts the Parliamentary
power of issuing such securities, and ths remainder
(raised on loan notes) must be met, as th, se notes fall
due, by the payment of calls on the existing
shares, and by the calls en new shares, to be
created. The proprietors also exercise the power, when
they see fit, of substituting share capital for their deben-
tures, and of thus covering their whole expenditure by
money paid upon shares. After a number of modes of
uniting the two Companies had been discussed, and at-
tempted, it was considered by both the boards that no
method would be so simple and satistisfactory as that the
amounts to be raised on the shares or stock of each
Company should be determined, and that the relative
amount being fixed, the separate interests of the two
Companies should forthwith be merged into those of one
united Company. The report then went on to propose
the method lately pursued by several Com-
panies of issuing stock in lieu of shares, and con-
cluded by recommending the proprietors to unite in
conjunction with the Great Western, Bristol and Exeter,
and South Devon, in promoting the proposed line from
Plymouth to Falmouth.
The CHAIRMAN then said, that in addition to
the amalgamation of the Company with the Bir
mingham and Gloucester, the Directors thought
it would be highly advantageous to promote the forma-
tion of the Plymouth line. They had seen the decision
of the Board of Trade in favour of that line, and there-
fore there could be but little doubt of its being carried
into effect. He then proposed the first resolution, which
proposed to empower the Directors to subscribe 500
shares of 50/. each towards the Plymouth and Fal-
mouth line.
Mr. H. 0. WILLS seconded the resoletion.
Mr. SOMERS HARFORD wished to know what advan-
tages the Bristol and Gloucester Company was likely to
derive from a subscription of 250,000/. to the Plymouth
and Falmouth Railway, as proposed by the resolution?
The CHAIRMAN said the Directors could not at present
define what would be the profits, as that remained to be
seen ; but if they wanted a precedent they might look to
the South Devon Railway, to which they had subscribed,
and which he was sure no one now regretted, as the
shares were at a fair premium. The Great Western and
the Bristol and Exeter Companies had both subscribed
to the undertaking.
Mr. SHAPLAND WB9 certain that it would be highly
advantageous to join in the formation of the Plymouth
and Falmouth Railway, as it would be the completing
-link from the north to Falmouth; and as Falmouth
would no doubt be the packet station, it would be of the
greatest advantage to them to connect the north with it.
The South Devon Company had subscribed 100,000/.
towards it. The Birmingham and Gloucester Company
agreed in the view the Directors had taken as to a sub-
scription for 500 shares.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to Mr. Aiken, explained that
the Directors were satisfied, both with regard to the cost
of the construction per mile, and to the increase of traffic
on the proposed line, and that it would be very remune-
rative when Falmouth became the packet station.
The resolution then passed unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the second resolution,
having reference to the amalgamation of the two Com-
panies, which was seconded by Mr. Jon.
The CHAIRMAN, in reply to the Rev. Mr. Taylor, who
wished to know if they were to participate in the exten-
sion of the Birmingham and Gloucester line to Wolver-
hampton? said certainly as to the traffic, but not as to
the capital stock.
A PROPRIETOR maintained that the terms of the amal-
gamation were most favourable to the Birmingham and
Gloucester Company, which had not been paying a divi-
dend of 3 per cent.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that the Birmingham and
Gloucester proprietors at their meeting had contended
that the Bristol and Gloucester Company had the best
part of the bargain.
A long discussion ensued as to the subject of the wide
and narrow guage, and it was stated that in all proba-
bility the railway from Birmingham to Gloucester would
be altered from the narrow to the wide guage, to make it
uniform with the Great Western and the Bristol and
Gloucester, Bristol and Exeter, and so on to Falmouth,
and probably to the Land's-end, all of which were con-
structed on the principle of the wide guage. It was also
stated that the contemplated South Wales line was to be
on the wide guage system.
The resolution then passed unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then proposed the third resolution,
which was seconded by Mr. Met., and carried unani-
mously, to the effect that the Shareholders be allowed
one month from this day to exercise the option of ac-
cepting or rejecting the new stock, and that any stock
not accepted be allotted as the Directors may determine.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BRISTOL AND GLOUCES.
TER, AND BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER.—The fol-

lowing are the heaos of the agreement entered into be-
tween the Directors for the amalgamation of these two
lines, which have long laboured ur.der various disad-
vantages, particularly in the goods and passenger de-
partment, owing to the want of uniformity in the ma-
nagement, and a consentaneous working of the traffic.
As a remedial measure, the ratification of the treaty will
be read with interest:—" 1. That the Bristol and Glou-
cester and the Birmingham and Gloucester shall be
united into one company, under the title of The Bristol
and Birmingham Railway Company,' and that an Act of
Parliament shall be applied for at the earliest possible
period to carry into effect such union, and t) grant the
necessary powers in connection therewith 2. That
until the proposed Act is obtained, the affairs of the united
Company shall be administered by a Board of Ma-
nagement, to be selected by the respective Boards from
among themselves, such Board to consist of fifteen
members, seven of whom shall be chosen from the
Bristol and Gloucester Board, and the other seven from
the Birmingham and Gloucester Board, but the chair-
man shall be appointed by the members chosen by the
Birmingham and Gloucester Board. 3. That after the
passing of the Act a Board shall be elected by the Pro-
prietors of the united Company, at a period to be named
m the Act, and that such Boardshall consist of a number
not exceeding fourteen. 4. That the stock of the united
Company shall consist of 1,800,0001., of which the sum
of 1,142,1251. will belong to the Shareholders of the
Birmingham and Gloucester Company, and the sum of
657,875/ shall be allotted (subject to the following con-
ditions) to the Shareholders of the Bristol and Gloucester
Railway Company. 5. That each Shareholder of the
latter Company shall have the option (such option to
be declared within one month after notice given, and
not later than the 31st July, 1845) of taking his propor-
tion of such allotment ; and in case he decline to do so,
he shall have 501. stock in the United Company given
him in exchange for each share he may possess in the
Bristol and Gloucester Company, and shall receive divi-
dends on the whole of such stock, and shall pay interest
at 4i per cent, on such part of it as shall remain unpaid.
6. That the Bristol and Gloucester Shareholders who
shall accept the above-mentioned allotment shall not be
called upon to pay any portion of their unpaid capital
until the Ist of January, 1847, when they shall pay one-
tenth of anch unpaid capital every six months until the
whole is paid up ; but they shall have the option of pay-
ing the whole or any part thereof, not less than one-tenth
of the whole, at any earlier:period er periods. 7. That any
stock that may be declined by the Bristol and Gloucester
shareholders shall be divided among any other shareholders
in that Company who may be willing to accept the same,
provided such Shareholders shall have paid, cr at the
time of taking such stock shall pay, not less than 20 per
cent. thereon. 8. That in case the Shareholders of the
Bristol and Gloucester Company shall not accept stock
to the full amount of 657,8751, the portion unappro-
priated shall not be created unless the Board appointed
under the Act shall think fit to do so for joint purposes,
9. That all dividends shall be made on the er.tire stock,
whether paid or not, and that four-and-a-half per cent.
per annum shall be charged to the holders of stock on
all sums not paid up. 10. That all assets, liabilities,
contracts, and agreements of each Company, shall be
taken by the united Company. 11. That from the Ist
day of January instant, until the passing of the Act, the
revenue shall belong to the united Company, and shall be
divided on the stock which shall be created previous to the
dividend being declared. 12. That whether the Act of
Parliament be obtained or not, the foregoing agreement
shall be considered as binding from the Ist day of
January instant. 13. That the present agreement shall
form the basis of the Act of Parliament ; and if any
doubt or difference of opinion shall arise between the
solicitors as to the true interpretation hereof, or as to the
,manner of carrying out the same in the provisions of
the said Bill, the same shall be submitted to some bar-
rister, to be agreed upon between them, whose decision
shall be final."

GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER.—The opening of this
line, now definitively fixed, will form an important link
in the chain of railway communication between the metro-
polis and the south-eastern coast. It has been constructed
at the instance of the Proprietors of the Thames and
Melway Canal, who, conceiving that the days of canal
transit were numbered, resolved on converting, at a com-
paratively small cost, their property into a railway along
the banks of the canal, retaining at the same time the
latter for traffic in goods. The line has been constructed
by Mr. Rastrick, the engineer, within the space of less
than twelve months. It is now, we understand, consoli-
dated, and in good working order. The fares have been
fixed at Is. for the first, and Bd. for the second-class, be-
tween Gravesend and Rochester, including fare by steamer
between Rochester and Chatham.
MEMORIAL TO THE BOARD FROM LIVERPOOL.—A
memorial of the principal bankers, merchants, and trades-
men, is now in course of signature at Liverpool, ad-
dressed to the Board of Trade, in behalf of the general
interests of the town and port,
.as affected by the aintll.
gamation of the lines in its vicinity, which Companies
they complain now possess the entire monopoly of rail-
way traffic in and out of Liverpool. The memorialists
state, that great inconvenience is acknowledged to have
been experienced by there being only one terminus at

INQUEST ON EMMA WHITER.
Last evening Mr. Baker resumed, at the London
Hospital, the inquiry touching the death of Emma
Whiter.
Police-sergeant Baekhouse, 37 K, gave evidence
precisely similar to that reported in our impression
of Wednesday. lie produced the pistol (a large
pocket one) found near the spot in King-street,
Bethnal -green, where deceased was found dead. He
had since made inquiries about the pistol, and found
that it had been repaired by a man named Thomas
Perkins, who gave witness the bullet now produced.
Police-sergeant Shaw, 2 K, said after James Tap-
ping wss apprehended and brought to the Stepney
police-station, I said to him I intend to ask you some
questions, but you need not answer them unless you
like. The prisoner replied, " Then Ido not feel in-
clined to answer any questions." I said, I do not
mind your intention, I'll put some questions to you
notwithstanding, but you are not obliged to answer
them. I asked, were you in the deceased girl's com-
pany last nit ht ? He answered, " Yes, I
was all the
evening. I spent it As ith her at her brother's, a
beer-shop, in Brick-lane." I again said, I have
more questions to ask you. He replied, "I
have nothing to fear ; I'll answer any ques-
tion you like." I said, of course an innocent man
need not be afraid of anything. He responded, " I
am innocent." I then asked him if he had Leen keep-
ing company with the girl. He answered, " Yes, for
tK o years.' I rejoined, you say you have been spend-
ing the evening together, have you had during that
time any quarrel? He said, "No, nothing more than
usual has happened between us." The prisoner then
went on to say that deceased called on him the pre-
vious evening, that he accompanied her to ,her
brother's, and afterwards walked home with her as
far as the corner of Maid-street. They shook hands,
he said, and agreed to meet again on Thursday (last)
night. I showed him :,pots of recent blood on his
apron, and he said he supposed they must have been
caused by a cut he had in the hollow of his right-
hand, between his thumb and forefinger. I looked
at the cut and it did not appear a recent one. I exa-
mined his pockets, and found no traces of gunpowder.
When I read the charge to him ireutioning the death
of deceased by a pistol shot, he said, " I never had
any pistol, I never saw any pistol."
William Slater, of 4, South Conduit-street, Bethnal-
green, whose house is situated at about thirty-six
yards from the spot at which deceased's body was
found, saw her pass his door laughing and chatting
with the prisoner, Tapping, who had his right arm
round her neck, and about seven or eight minutes
after he heard the near report of a gun or pistol. He
looked through his bedroom window and saw nobody.
All this occurred about half-past twelve o'clock on
Tuesday morning.
Thomas Whiter, a brother of the deceased, said he
heard of the murder about the hour just named; that
he went immediately to the hospital and there saw
the dead body of his sister ; that he told the police he
suspected Tapping of being the murderer, on account
of his bad character, and the witness said it was
doubtful whether his sister kept company occasionally
with Tapping through fear or love. She carried on
no correspondence with any other person.
Thomas Whiter, a very respectable-looking man
and father of deceased, said that about two o'clock on
Tuesday morning a man named Richard Bunn came
and knocked at his door, and asked if he had a daugh-
ter from home, and whether he knew a man named
James Tapping. Witness answered both questions
in the affirmative, and then the man Bunn said, Tap-
ping is at home raving about the house, exclaiming
"I have done it; I have done it !" The witness then
repeated evidence about going to Tapping's lodgings
and giving information to the police, which caused
the latter to apprehend him. When this witness asked
Tapping whether he had seen his daughter Emma on
the previous night, Tapping said he had not, but on
his being pressed he said, with a forced smile, that he
had passed all the evening with her, and left her iu
good health.

- _ Lier.erieegl, and that most in-ufficieet, and one railway
:.outlet Flinn it, emerging by means of- a tunnel of one
mile and a quarter in length. They hove reason to ap-
prehend from the recent meetings, that a general amal-
gamation is contemplated of the Liverpool and Manches-
ter, Grand Junction, North Union, Preston and Lan-
caster, and Lancaster and Carlisle, and the memorialists
consider it to be their duty to submit their belief that the
interests of Liverpool, and the numerous travellers ar-
riving, at and embarking from its port, and passing
through the town, require the most direct railway com-
munication that can be provided. Separate lines and
independent termini, they conceive, must insure to Li-
verpool a great stream of traffic, north and south, and
give a guarantee against detention from accidental cir-
cumstances and trains conveying traffic to other destina-
tions ; and they trust that the Board of Trade will not
sanction any amalgamation or railway scheme which
dues rot secure to Liverpool, either north or south, direct
lines of communication, separate entrances, and distinct

the annual dinner of the Newcastle Chamber of Com-
merce, on Monday last, Mr. Hodgson Hinde, ALP.,
adveried to the proposed Newcastle end Berwick
(Hudson's) line, and congratulated the inhabitants of
Newcastle on the decision of the Board of Trade in its
favour. He hoped the day was not far distant when
Newcastle would enjoy the full facilities of railway corn-
mumication, and have their mails accelerated to the
utmost—that they would have railways spreading their
net works on all sides—and that sound schemes would
receive the Government support. The recent decision
of the Board of Trade formed materials for congratula-
tion. They had acted, he believed, on the principle of
giving preference to the old lines, where they could be
conveniently extended so as to afford the same amount
of advantage as the formation of actually new
lines. The true principle on which the Board
of Trade bad grounded their decision, was the
taking into consideration not the mere exten-
sion of a line, but the gradients of it, and
thus measuring the distance, not merely by miles, but
by hours. He believed that the remaining decisions of
the Board would be satisfactory, not only to the public,
but to parties locally interested. The President, in pro-
posing the health of Mr. Hudson, the Chairman of the
Midland Railways, passed a lengthened eulogy on the
enterprise and success of that gentleman in his promo-
tion of railway communication in the north. Mr. Hud-
son, in returning thanks, observed that the praise be-
stowed upon him by the President was as much due to
the Messrs. Stephenson, the engineers, as to himself,
they having been associated with him in all his labours.
During the whole period of his connexion with railways
he had never forgotten the great principle of railway
management, viz., that of conducting the undertakings,
not only for the benefit of the Shareholders, but of the
public. He hoped the time that had been refemd to for
opening the line between Newcastle and Berwick would
be realised, and that the opening would not be deferred,
should Parliament grant the Bill. He trusted that on the
18th of June, 1846, the members of the Chamber of
Comnierce would dine with the Directors of the New-
castle and Berwick Railway to celebrate the opening of
the line. An advertisement would be issued in a few
days to show that they were prepared to undertake some
risk, and which would almost be tantamount to anticipating
that the decision of Parliament would be in accordance
with that of the Board of Trade. The statement that
had gone abroad, to the effect that there was a likeli-
hood of the non-fulfilment of the project, was erroneous.
The Directors would, with the most judicious care—with
an anxiety to make the work as magnificent and beauti-
ful as possible, worthy alike of Newcastle and the name
of Stephenson—proceed in the accomplishment of their
purpose. He had always maintained that, so long as a
railway was remunerative, it would be well managed,
and that, so long as it was well managed, it would be
remunerative ; but let it become unproductive, and the
Shareholders became careless as to the management, the
Directors got disgusted, and the railway became a public
nuisance.

FATAL AND MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT-

ELEVEN PERSONS KILLED.

DUBLIN, JAN. 28.—A melancholy occurrence took
place in Limerick, on Sunday night, which was attended
with loss of life to a considerable extent. A party
assembled at a " wake" in Change lane, oue of the
poorest localities in the city, and the room in which the
body was laid out was densely crowded. The floor
suddenly gave way, and all within were precipi-
tated to the room beneath, which also fell, carrying all
to the Lext, and that again, being the third, to the
ground. By this melancholy accident 11 persons were
killed, and from 16 to 20 grievously maimed—some with
legs and arms broken, skulls fractured, and one man
had his back broken. The surviving sufferers were taken
to Barrington's Hospital. Many of them were beyond
all hope of recovery when the mail left Limerick last
night.

By the CORONER—My daughter was of sound in.
tellect, and I do not think she ever had a pistol in her
possession. I have not the least possible suspicion
that she destroyed herself.
Richard Bunn, a weighing machine maker, said—l
was at the Rising Sun public-house, Sale-street,
Bethnal-green, between one and two o'clock on Tues-
day morning, when James Tapping, the prisoner,
came in and seated himself on a table, and said to a
brother of his, Henry Tapping, who was standing in
the tap-room, " The deed is done, and it cannot be,
undone." The public-house being about to be cleared,
the prisoner left, and I followed him to the corner of
the court in which he lived, saying, "James, what is
the matter with you ?" He exclaimed, " What is the
matter, indeed ! Ah, the stars look bright and the
moon shines clear." I said, " Jem, will you come
with me ?" He answered, "No, why should Igo
with you ?" lat last persuaded him to come away
from the court, and as he was doing so he said to a
man named Thomas Capes, who was with him by the
court, " Thomas Capes, you have been the whole of
this destruction, and I never want to speak to you
again." The prisoner then asked him to go as far as
the Salmon and Ball to see if he could get anything
to drink. We went. I knocked at the door of that
public-house, but found it closed. Tapping was
quite sober at the time. We then turned back to-
ward my house in White-street, and I asked Tap-
ping to come in and have some supper. He said,
"Why should I ? I will go home and see the chil-
dren," meaning his young orphan sisters, whom he
supported. Tapping then went home, and I went
to Capes' house, and got from him the address of
deceased's parents. I proceeded to their house, and
gave the last witness the information he mentioned.
By the CORONER—I declare solemnly that when I
went to give Mr. Whiter the information about Tap-
ping, I did not know positively that deceased was
dead. I have now stated all that passed between me
and James Tapping, to the best of my recollection.
Mr. Crispin said he was also in the tap-room of the
Rising Sun when Tapping came in. He appeared
very much excited and agitated, and said, "It was
done, and could not be undone," adding "it will be
a mystery to you all." Tapping's sister, a young
woman, came to inquire for him, and he went out to
her to the bar, and when she saw him she fainted,
falling into his arms. On Saturday last the witness
saw a pistol, very like the one produced, in the hands
of Tapping at the Rising Sun.
By the CORONER—On Tuesday morning, when
Tapping came into the Rising Sun, I saw blood on
his apron. His right hand was bleeding, and he wiped
it on his apron. Some one in the room made some
observation, upon which Henry Tapping ran up to
his brother James Tapping, the prisoner, pulled open
his jacket, and thrust his hand into its inside pocket.
On this, James Tapping said, laughing, " Ah, 'tis
gone."

DUBLIN, JAN. 29.—The following additional details
of this calamitous occurrence are supplied by two local
journals received this morning :
" On Sunday evening, at eight o'clock, Limerick was
horror-stricken, by one of the most tragical events that
ever fell to the lot of a journalist to record. In a small
lane at the end of Change-lane, in the Abbey, pirish of
St. Mary's, a public wake was held on the remains of a
young married woman, named Jordan, who died after
her first confinement. The crowd was unusually great,
and every portion of an old, rotten, ricketty tenement
was filled to witness this idle ceremony. The corpse
was laid out on the upper story, which was crowded ;
mid lie story was likewise filled to overflowing, and the
ground floor was similarly circumstanced. In a second
the topmost story gave way, and, horrible to tell, the
people, falling on the persons below, the second floor
gave way, and the entire came down with an awful
crash on those occupying the ground floor. This
all occurred in a second of time ; and, of course,
the people were unprepared for such a catastrophe.
Ten persons were killed on the spot, and sixteen
badly wounded. The arms and legs of several were
broken, whilst others were considerably bruised and mu-
tilated. The first outcry was to bring the bodies of the
dead and dying to Barrington's Hospital ; and perhaps
more dismal or woeful scenes never occurred than took
place in the streets. Husbands shouting for their wives
—fathers and mothers looking for their children—every
one, a member of whose family was out, apprehensive
that his or her child, or relative, was among the killed.
The police, under Mr. Williams, were promptly on the
spot, and rendered every assistance. In less than half
an hour the ruins of the wretched and fatal tenement
were completely cleared out, and the bodies removed to
Barrington's Hospital. The clergymen of St. Mary's,
the Rev. John Braham, P.P., the Messrs. Egan and
Mackey, the Rev. James Quinn, P.P., St. John's ; the
Rev. Messrs. William Bourke and Ryan, were in imme-
diate attendance, and administered the last rites of reli-
gion to the poor sufferers. An inquest wai held on the
bodies, and a verdict according to the melancholy circum-
stances returned."

The Limerick Reporter gives the followidg additional
particulars :—" Ten were killed in all—namely, Mary,
wife of Cornelius Murphy, a bailiff; Catherine, wife of
Michael lianeen, labourer, Garryowen ; Catherine Mad
den (unmarried), Garryoweu ; Mary Molony (unmar
tied), Mary-street ; Jane Boland (unmarried), of the
Abbey ; Bridget Rourke (widow), and her daughter
Margaret (unmarried), Carryowen ; James Enright, a
youth, son of Jaws Enright, and James Lynch, Garry-
owen, labourer. Three of the unfortunate women were
far advanced in pregnancy. There were only two men
present, and one of them escaped, while the other
(Lynch) was killed in the effort to save his wife, who is
dangerously bruised. Of the wounded we have ascer-
tained the following names :—George Mason, Alicia
Grady, Margaret Grady, Margaret Halinen, Margaret
Jordar, Catherine Barlow, Mary Hayes, Eliza Jordan,
Catherine Jordan, Ellen Fitzgerald, Bridget Kennedy,
Mary Barlow, Margaret Lee, Henry Enright, and Ra-
chael Lynch. Two of the wounded girls could not be in-
duced even by the Catholic clergy to take wine which
the doctors prescribed as absolutely necessary, and when
they were informed they would die if they persisted in
their determination, they replied that they would rather
die than taste it."

Mr. Whiter, the father of the deceased, told the
Coroner that two of Tapping's brothers had called on
him requesting him to endeavour to have the prisoner
brought before the Coroner, as he (the prisoner) had
a statement to make, and wished to see the body of
deceased.

ROSCREA, MONDAY EVENING.-.At church hour yes-
terday an armed party entered the house of a
schoolmaster, two miles from this, on the road to
Birr. On seeing them enter, the owner, named Jones,
seized a dirk, and two of the party, armed with
stones, closing on him, he stabbed one of them.
The third, armed with a large pistol, fired and
wounded Jones in the head. Finding the resistance so
determined, the ruffians fled. Jones seized a gun, but
from loss of blood he was unable to fire. The police, in
the pursuit of the fellows, discovered the body of a mur-
dered man in the wood of Bowen, a mile or two from this
place.—Evening Post.
A LORD MAYOR'S DOG.
Yesterday Timothy O'Brien, Esq., last year's Lord
Mayor, was fined the sum of 10s., for allowing a ferocious
dog to prowl the streets. It appeared, in evidence, that
his Lordship's dog was of the bull-terrier species, an
admixture of vulgar with high blood—that an humble
but courageous bull-dog met him in Westmoreland.
street, and after a few growls the aristocratic animal be-
gan to do battle. A policeman stepped in to separate
the belligerents, and he has sworn that the bull-terrier
was all tz blame ; accordingly, he killed him with his
baton, and summoned his master for permitting
such an unruly brute to be at large. His late Lordship
was defended by Mr. Wm. Ford, the principal agent
in the late State prosecution. Being a sharp fellow,
his services were considered invaluable in this action
however, he could not prevent a decision against his
client. During the investigation Mr. O'Brien said that
when he was Lord Mayor he was solicited to issue the
usual order to the police to destroy all wandering dogs,
but respecting the rights of animals he refused so to do.
He, therefore, felt it a great hardship to kill his dog and
be fined himself.

Thomas Perkins, gun-maker, of Sale-street ,Beth-
nal-green, proved having repaired on Saturday last,
for James Tapping, the pistol produced, and which
was found close to deceased's body. Witness also
gave Tapping four leaden bullets, which he said he
wanted for a shooting match with Dick Bunn (a wit-
ness examined).
Two bullets were here produced that had been ex-
tracted by Mr. Cummings, house surgeon, from de-
ceased's head, and they exactly fitted a mould in
which Perkins had cast the four bullets he gave to
James Tapping.
Perkins, in answer to the Coroner, said he had no
doubt that the tw,) bullets produced were given by
him to Tapping.
At eleven o'clock, after an inquiry of nearly six
hours, the case was adjourned till Monday next.

INGENIOUS ROBBERIES.—(From a Correspondent.)
—About a fortnight ago a lad came with a message .or
the nursemaid, requesting her to send a certain shawl
she had back by the bearer, who stated ho was sent by
her mother for the shawl, naming her address. She did
not give it to him, but said she would see her mother
about it. Shortly afterwards the boy came back, and
said her mother could not wait, but she must send as
she was in a hurry. It was not delivered, and the girl
found, on making inquiry, that it was merely an imp,.
dent attempt at robbery. On Thursday afternoon a sd.
milar circumstance occurred, when, after delivering the
article to the boy, I detained him, and sent for a police.

with " conspiring to commit a robbery," intending to
pursue the charge at Guildhall to-day. The inspector..
however, after hearing the case, said, " the charge was
not strong enough !" and hereupon dismissed the young
street prowlers. On my sending word to him that he
had no right to dismiss the case, ho replied, " Ho had to
use his own discretion : I might tell who I liked."
DEATH' OF A DRUNKEN DWARF.—On Thursday
Mr. Baker held an inquest at the Royal Crown, Rat-
cliffe-highway, on the body of John Coggan, aged fifty-
five, a dwarf, and inmate of St. George's-in-the-East
workhouse. Deceased was only forty-four inches hip2l,2,
and formerly used to be exhibited at fairs, &c., throngs
the country. Smaller competitors rendered him no at•
tractive curiosity, and for years he had been an inmate
of the above workhouse. Whenever he left it for a holi-
day he was sure to return intoxicated. He went out
on Sunday last, and returned in the evening extretneiy
drunk. About four o'clock next morning he complailg
of internal pain, was promptly attended to by
Wilson, the workhouse surgeon, but ho gradually sank,
and died on Tuesday morning. Verdict, " Natural
death, accelerated by excessive drinking."
