Tuesday aft. moon, hi-r a,,rl lino.. oclock,
a melancholy accident, by fire, occu`rred to Mrs. Elisabeth Mekins,
thirty-two years of age, the wife of a French polisher, East-street,
Manchester-square. It appears that the unfortunate female was
busily enraged boiling some combustible ingredients for making
French polish, in an earthen pipkin, when it boiled over and
ignited. In her alarm, she placed the pipkin on the hearth, and
the fire communicating to her dress, she was instantly enveloped
in flames. Her screams brought the assistance of some lodgers,
who succeeded in extinguishing them, but not before she was dread-
fully burnt. She was immediately removed in scab to the hospital,
where she lies without a hope of recovery.
T. AVIOUtt'S, SOUTHWARK.- —Some thieves ob-
tained an entrance in o the vestry of St. Saviour's Church on
Monday night. by breaking the stained glass window. After
forcing the locks of several cupboards and drawers without
finding anything valuable, and drinking one bottle of wine,
the parties retired. The plate, which appears to have been
the object of the visit, has not been kept in the church for
some years.
The fo'lowing notice has been isued at Oxford
University :—" The Margaret Professor of Divinity will begin a

desirous of attending the course are requested to call on the pro-
fessor on Thursday, the 24th inst., between the hours of eleven
and one. Christ Church, April 14."

A correspondent states that an active emissary,
engaged in obtaining signatures to petitions against Sir Robert
Peel's measure for the endowment of the clerical college of May..
nooth, on being asked by a farmer, whose name he sought, what it I
was all about, replied that " Parliament was a-goin to give the

then here goes," said the petitioner to her Majesty's " faithful
Commons."—Monmouthshire Merlin.

A gallant instance of intrepidity and courage was
displayed on ‘Vednesday se'nmght, by George Soper, of
Exe-lane. Walkiog up the banks of the river, on the
Exwick side, he saw two children, who had just rolled
into the water from a steep bank, and at once plunged
in to their rescue. Although it was ten feet deep at the
spot, he succeeded in getting them both out.. The ehi -
dren, who belonged to a navigator, workit,g not tar off,
had wandered away to gather primroses, and rolled into
the deep water. The father expressed his gratitude.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.—The board
have just determined on a further reduction of the fares.
The following are the prices to which the fares are reduced
on the whole distance from London to Birmingham. The
fares to the intermediate stations are reduced in proportion.
By express train and daily mail, 275. ; mixed and Ist class
and trains,—the Ist class 235., the 2d class 175.; mixed
stopping trains,-Ist class 205., the 3d 14s. On the Ist of
May they commence their fast trains, running to and from
Birmingham in three houss. These fare-reducing measures
evince an unequivocal desire, on the part of the Birmingham
board to serve the public interests as liberally and well as
they do their shareholders; that they do not wish to grasp
too mach for the one, at the expense of the other. Having
secured a large traffic, which produces equally large profits,
they seem determined to pursue a moderate and just course,
by giving the public the advantage of any increased traffic
by a nearly proportionate reduction of the tariff. We
cannot applaud this spirit too highly, feeling convinced that
while it is geaerous towards the public, it is the best means
of securing to a large establishment, like the Birmingham, a
firm and lasting foundation.—Railway Journal
