Sunday morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out
in the house of Mr. Brain, artist and engraver, in Al-
fred-square, Pentonville, which, besides consuming the
premises, damaged those adjoining.
A proclamation of reward was issued on Saturday
last from the Government authorities, offering the sum
of 1001. for the detection and conviction of the party or
parties who, a few nights since, set fire to the barn and
outbuildings of Mr. Thomas Proud, of Thornville, near
Green Ilammerton, in the county of York, on which oc-
casion much valuable property belonging to that gentle-
man was destroyed.
We regret to state that Mr. Benjamin Wood, M.P.
for Southwark, still lies in a most precarious state. The
Hon. Gentleman was attacked some time back by a
severe stroke of paralysis, flvm the effects of which,
however, he recovered ; but, unfortunately, the dis-
astrous complaint returned, and although Mr. Wood's
friends anticipate that he may linger, there are not the
slightest grounds for holding out any hopes of ultimate
and complete recovery.
The new steam schooner Senator, built of iron, and
fitted with the Archimedean screw, which left London

ther during Sunday and Monday.
Another result of the operation of the new Tariff has
been seen, the last few days, in the importation of hops

nounced, by competent judges, as quite equal in flavour

The Lord Chancellor, the Master of the Rolls, and
Lord Chief Justice Tindal, sat again on Saturday morn-
ing in the Lord Chancellor's private-room, Westminster-
hall, to hear the further arguments of Counsel respect-
ing the claim of the King of Hanover to a portion of the
Crown jewels. Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, who appears on the
same side with Sir Charles Wetherell, in support of the
claim of his Majesty, addressed the Commissioners at
great length. The proceedings were, however, strictly
private, consequently no report of the Learned Counsel's
argument can be given.

—We regret to state that a report prevails of the mur-
rain amongst cattle (which has been productive of such
serious losses on the Continent) having reached this
country. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this re-
port, and from the inquiry we have made, on the con-
trary, we are inclined to believe that the disease now so
generally prevailing, particularly amongst horses ex-
posed to the recent cold and changeable weather, is a
species of influenza, the symptoms of which are of a more
serious description than ordinary. Many of the hackney
proprietors have, we are informed, nearly one-half of
their horses laid up, and the deaths during the last few
weeks have averaged twenty-five per cent.
On Saturday evening a man, named John Walker,
47 years of age, was at work on some new houses in
Kennington-lane, near the Horns Tavern, when a por-
tion of the scaffolding on which he was standing suddenly
gave way, and he was precipitated to the ground from a
height of nearly forty feet. He was taken up quite in-
sensible, and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where it was
found that he had dislocated the vertebrae of the neck to
such an extent that no assistance could possibly be ren-
diired, and he expired in a few hours after his admission.

FATAL EFFECTS OF DRlNK.—Yesterday (Sunday)
morning, at an early hour, an elderly female, named
Diana Campbell, who resided at No. 1, Fore-street,
Lambeth, was seen between one and two o'clock greatly
intoxicated, and quarrelling with her son in the street.
The latter was heard by some of the neighbours to
threaten his parent with personal violence. After some
time the female returned to her home, and it was sup-
posed that she had retired to bed ; however, between
three and four o'clock, she was found lying in the pas-
sage of her house a corpse. Over the right eye there
was a cut, and two bruises on her cheek, but whether
caused by violent hands, or from falling down stairs, of
course it is at present impossible to tell. The son was
also found upon the stairs quite insensible from the effects
of drink, and nearly suffocated from the position in which
he had fallen. Mr. doffice, surgeon, of Paradise-street,
Lambeth, was immediately seat for, but the female was
past all means of recovery. The son soon rallied ; but
hearing the fate of his mother, he uttered the most pain-
ful lamentations, and having been left alone for a few
minutes he made the most desperate attempt to destroy
his own life. He was, however, discovered by one of
the police-officers, and was taken to the High-street
station-house.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning
last, about seven o'clock, as a number of men labouring
in the quarry were warming themselves at the lime-kilns
on Kendal Fell, previous to commencing work, one of
them, John Harrison, inadvertently stepped back, as is
supposed, and fell to the bottom of one of the empty
kilns. The consequences of the accident were dreadful.
The unfortunate man's back was broken, and if he sur-
vive the injury, which is very doubtful, he will be bed-
ridden for the remainder of his life. The unfortunate vic-
tim is the same who about two years and a half ago was
so severely injured while engaged in sinking a well at
Burneside Ball that he was unable to work for six
months afterwards. His companion on that occasion,
who was also injured, but less seriously, Anthony
Chambers was with the poor fellow on Tuesday morning
when the more dreadful accident happened. We regret
to say that Harrison's large lamily, consisting of a wife
and six children, are in very destitute circumstances, and
the aggravation of their distress by the late dreadful
occurrence may be imagined.—Lancaster Guardian.
AWFUL VISITATION.—Saturday morning, between
ten and eleven o'clock, a 3 oung man, a compositor, in
the employ of Mr. Saville, the printer, of St. Mar-
tin's-lane, named John Woodberry, whilst working at
his case and talking to a brother workman, suddenly
fell down speechless. He was removed with all speed to
Charing-cross Hospital, where he shortly afterwards
expired. The medical men attribute bis death -to
apoplexy.
