J. T. BRIGGS,
Accountant-General Navy
Admiralty-office, June 21, 1845.

Yesterday the Duchess of Northumberland gall:
an elegant fete champetre at Sion House, the ducal residence
Isleworth, where a limited but brilliant circle of the aristocracy "";
ambled. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Carnbriri:
and Prince George of Cambridge, attended by Baron Knoche'
and Lady Augusta Cadogan, arrived at a quarter past four &clod°
and left shortly after six.
AMERICAN ICE.—For some time past this no,
importation has been in pretty general use in Glasgow. It is Pet
fectly clear and transparent. twinu from large Pr'no
rise, and lit pt free from all impurities. 1%4,
certainly a very striking instance of the spirit of enterprise,
a regularly organised company should be established for the P".,
pose of dealing in such a commodity ; and it is rather singulartl,
think that an epicure in Great Britain may have his wine in f
shape of " sherry cobblers" with ice produced upon the lakes of
the American continent, and which has been brought through I,
", -
beat of summer across the Atlantic, for his express use and grit'.
fication.—Edinburgh Witness.
MrsoßE COFFEE.—A parcel of coffee, imp...-.
from Madras, the produce of the Mysore district, has within the"
few days been admitted at the low duty of fourpence per lb. The
Lords of the Treasury, by an order dated 13th June, 1844, en '"
application from the East India and China Association, respecting
the admission of sugar and other articles from Mysore, (Weer
that Mysore produce, being legally admissible as such, should be
admitted as the produce of Madras ; and since that period gn°46
imported direct from Madras, and certified by a number of
spectable merchants or brokers, judges of the articles, as being the
produce of the Mysore district, have been delivered as the produtr
of the former place.
The trial of William Harper and Edward W
Hams, who were arrested on the charge of passing off several bank'
notes ctolen from the bank at Manchester, which charge, as ae
robbery was committed in England, and the prisoners were Eiir
lishmen, the criminal tribunals of France could not entertain,lo
who were detained as guilty of the offence of obtaining and using
in France a passport taken at Boulogne in a false name, wit
brought on before the Correctional Tribunal on Saturday. Harper,
on being interrogated, stated that he was a butcher in Newget''',
market, at London ; that he came to France on the invitation I"
Williams, who said he had business in which he Harper, might 1"2
useful to him, and promised to pay all expenses. Williams, 111
said, had a passport from England, but he, Harper, was with'
out one. The passport in the name of John Parker, will'
which he came to Paris, was obtained at Boulogne, by Wit'
Hams, without Parker's appearance or interference. He statea
that he had been acquainted with Williams between two and three
years. He admitted changing English bank notes to the amould
of 4601. ; but declared that they were given to him by Williaroo,
and that he did not know Low he came by them. Williams, Cn
being examined, contradicted Harper in most points, and insisted
that he had never seen him more than twice in his life, having
met him for the first time in the packet which brought him over
to Boulogne. On being asked what business he had in Paris, tie
declined giving any answer until he had consulted his counseL
Upon this M. Forcade, the advocate, came forward, and stated
the court that he had been chosen to plead for Williams, but had
hail no communication with him, because he had at first engaged M.
Charles Ledru, who was prevented from attending the court, and
therefore he requested time to receive due information and iro
structlons from his client. Upon this the court put off the furtive
hearing until Thursdsy next.
The following painful occurrence happened three
days ago in the Rue Folie Mericourt. A young wife, in the 101
stage of pregnancy, having occasion to warm some water, lighted
a brazier of charcoal in a room which had no fireplace. In a feel
minutes afterwards, she was taken in labour; being unable 110
move from the room, and no person being within hearing of ha
cries, she could have no one to assist her. She succeeded, how-
ever, in delivering herself, and she and her baby might have done
well, had not the vapour of the charcoal overcome her and cow•
pelled her to lie down on her bed, where she remained senseless
for several hours. At the end of this time some of her family went
in; by throwing open the door and window, and using the proper
means of resuscitation, the poor mother was recovered, but her
child had been long dead.—Galignani.
BARBAROUS MURDER OF AN INFANT.—On Mon-
day last a countryman, who was going to the fair of Dungarvan,
when passing through the townland of Kilgobinet, heard some
faint cries ; on looking round him he could see no object, and
after standing in amazement for some minutes, he put his ear to a
heap of stones, when he felt convinced that some living creature
was concealed underneath within a few feet of him. He proceeded
to remove the stones, when, to his surprise, he found a female
child, about eight or ten slays old. The poor man had the child
taken to the parish priest, who baptised it, but in the course of the
evening it died from the injuries it received. On Wednesday,
Thomas Dennehy, Esq., county coroner, held an inquest ; the
jury returned the following verdict;_" That the said female child
was buried alive by some person or persons unknown, and which
alone was the cause of its death."— Waterford Mail.
THE RAILWAY.—The last prevailing rumour rela-
live to the opening of the railway from London to Cambridge was,
that it would take place on Wednesday the 9th instant. 'ruts is
correct however only so far as regards the line front Cambridge to
Ely, which we believe will be opened on that day. Yesterday an
experimental train was made in a single carriage down that part of
the line, and everything proved very satisfactory. Within the last
week or two, the station has rapidly advanced.—Cambridge
Advertiser.

We have heard with regret that the child of Mr.
Booth Bell, who had his arm fractured by a fall from the gig when
his father was shot, has since died.—Northern Standard.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.— We heard just as we
were going to press that the floor of the Petty Sessions House at
Mullinahone gave way yesterday (Friday), with about 500 persons.
The fall was so sudden, that many were seriously injured, several
arms, legs, and thighs being broken. '1 he bench, on which were
the magistrates, John Millet, H. T. Redmond, Pureloy Poe,
Esqs., and the Rev. W. Bryan, remained undisturbed. Dr. Goring
promptly attended, and administered medical relief to the sufferers.

On Sunday morning, shortly before two o'clock,
a fire broke out at No. 30, Great Pulteney-street, Golden. square,
in the joint occupation of Mr. C. Goodall, card• manufacturer, and
Messrs. Parsons, Welling, and Lomer. The fire was first oh-
servod an the second floor by a policeman, who gave an alarm, and
enabled the inmates to escape. The flames were not extinguished
until the upper floore were destroyed.
A PHILOSOPHER IN TROUBLE.--A gentleman
named Goddard, who resides in London, was brought before tbe
borough magistrates on Monday, and charged with trespassing on
the grounds of C. Perry:erton, E,q , and refusing to give an ac-
c"unt of himself. Mr. Bradley appeared for the defendant, and
stated that he had been requested by Professor Phillips to say that
the defendant was a gentleman of respectability, well known to him
and the principal members of the British Association. The ex-
planation gi►en of the affair wee, that the defendant had taken as
over-dose of nether, which had affected him so much as to render
him perfectly unconscious of what he was doing, so that he fancied
himself in some of the college grounds.—Canaridge Chronicle.
