GREAT MORTALITY IN ONE HOUSE..---At an inquest
held yesterday by Mr. Wakley, M.P., the summoning
officer stated that no inconsiderable excitement was
caused in the vicinity of Bryanston-square, in consequence
of three persons having died on the same day in one of
the houses of the square. Yesterday, he said, was the
day appointed for their funeral, and, as a matter of
course, many groundless reports were circulated. A
letter was even sent to Mr. Rawlinson on the subject. It,
however, appeared that one died of a liver complaint,
another of a decline, and a third of a decay of nature.
Two HORSES DROWNED. —On Wednesday night
a labourer, in charge of a team belonging to Mr. John
Titmarsh, of Henham, when near Collier-row, Hatfield,
on his way home, deviated from the road, in the flood
occasioned by the late rains, and two of the horses were
drowned ; a third escaped with its life, as did also the
driver, who, it is hinted, had taken something more
potent than water.—Essex Herald.
We are informed that a new iron steam-vessel, to
be propelled by a screw, was ordered a fortnight since to
be built for the especial service of the Queen, as a tender
to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, if that vessel
should ever be required again after her Majesty has once
been on board the new one. We understand that her
Majesty was so much pleased with the pro tern. arrange-
ment of Sir George Cockburn, in placing the Dwarf
iron screw steam-vessel at her Majesty's service, as a
tender to the Victoria and Albert, that, on board the
Dwarf, the Queen most graciously, with her own hand,
wrote to Sir George Cockburn, stating her desire to
have a steam-vessel built expressly for the purpose,
and actually sent the dimensions and the draught of
water of the proposed tender. The object is to enable
her Majesty to dispense with the Victoria and Albert
on short cruises, and, with the Prince, to enjoy the
beautiful sequestered scenery on the coast, which the
largo draft of the royal yacht now renders impossible
to be visited. The new tender will be about 135 ft.
long by 20 ft. in breadth ; her draft of water will be
less than five feet. She is to have a pair of Penn's
oscillating engines of 60-horse power. Sir George
Cockburn lost no time in attending to her Majesty's
wishes, and the little vessel is already in hand.--Hamp-
shire Telegraph.
GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY.—
The first two contracts of this line were lot on Thursday
for the sum of 61,000/. to Messrs. M'Cormick and Dar-
gan, whose successful completion of the Drogheda Rail-
way within the time gives promise of equally good and
speedy work on the Great Southern and Western. The
above amount will cover everything on twenty miles of
the line except rails and sleepers, so that it is probable
that the average cost per mile will not exceed 9,000/.,
thus proving upon the best authority, namely, the esti-
mate of the contractors, that in Sir John M`Neill's ori-
ginal estimate, 14,0001. per mile, the cost of railway was
not understated, and that the entire line is certain to be
executed within his estimate.—Dublin Freeman'sJournat
THE HERRING FISHERY.—We lately mentioned
that the herring fishing had again sprung up in Loch-
fine. 'We are now glad to be able to state that it con-
tinues to increase at Ardrishaig, and at the various fish-
ing grounds on the Loch. Some of the fishermen have
this week been very successful, having taken in one night
twenty maize (500 to the maize). The fish are excellent
in quality, and are still improving, and are sold at the
fishing ground to the curers, at Ardrishaig Point, at 3s.
to 3a. 6d. per long hundred, and at Inverary at 4s. 6d.,
the herrings at the latter place being remarkably fine, in
fact, the very best that hare been in the market this
season. The cured herrings are now arriving daily by
steamer, and find a ready market at 21. per barrel, whole-
sale, which leaves a very small remuneration to the curer
far his labour. The exportation of fresh herrings for
Liverpool continues ; indeed, every steamer carries a
large supply.—Glasgow Constitutional.
CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—WR understand that the
Parliamentary contract for this railway has been signed
to the extent of 1,700,0001. The whole sum, it will be
recollected, is 1,800,000/., therefore only 100,0001. is now
unsigned for.—Edinburgh Witness.
Mountjoy, the pedestrian, accomplished some ex-
traordinary feats in St. Peter's-gardens, in this city, on
Monday afternoon; but, owing to the unfavourableness
of the weather, the attendance was not numerous. He
ran one mile, walked one mile forward, and one mile
backward, trundled a hoop one mile, wheeled a barrow
half a mile, hopped 200 yards, picked up forty eggs with
his mouth, a yard apart, and dropped them into a pail
of water without breaking them, and jumped over twenty
hurdles, the last ten with an egg in bis mouth.—Can-
terbury JournaL

Sli JOHN COPE'S FOX-HOUNDS.--The meet on
Saturday, which was attended by Sir John and a field
of upwards of two hundred, was at Brick-bridge. A
fox was found, upon drawing tho great wood of Mr.
Young, which took away across the Round-wood to the
Hayes where it doubled back to the Great-wood, and
there lost. After an hour fruitlessly spent in endea-
vouring to find the lost fox, the pack was taken to
Billingbear Park, and another fine young fox put on
foot, which took away through the Park to Bear-wood,
and thence to Warren-wood, near the Warren-house,
where it doubled round through the same covers again
to Billingbear Park, nearly up to the mansion. Reynard
then stole away at a tremendous pace for Charity-wood,
where it was killed after a beautiful burst of forty-five
minutes. It being now nearly four o'clock, the sport
was given over for the day.

THE DUKE AND THE RAILWAY.—By a private
letter from Dover, we hear that, in consequence of the
train having been one day last week one hour past its
time, the Duke of Wellington, who went by it to attend
the Council, arrived when it was over. His Grace was
much provoked, and went to the Directors to reprobate
in strong terms their want of punctuality. The Direc-
tors were in despair at the occurrence, and endeavoured
to excuse themselves by saying that had they known his
Grace was a passenger, they would havo dispatched a
special train. This declaration was far from calming
the complainant, who with that true and admirable feel-
ing of justice which characterises his Grace, asked,
" What am I, the Duke of Wellington, travelling by
railway, more than any other individual ?" and pro-
pounded to these gentlemen that it was their duty to
study the convenience of the public.—Court Journal.

FLOOD AT BUNGAY,—From the very heavy rains
which have prevailed during the last month, the marshes
and low meadows in the vicinity of this town have been
covered with a deeper flood than has been known for at
least thirty-five years. The roads in those places where
the water crosses them, having been impassable ; and
on Wednesday evening a man in the employ of Mr.
Spence, farmer, returning from Bungay with a waggon,
in which were coals, in attempting to pass through the
" Broom Watering," the current was so heavy and rapid
that his waggon was carried against the foot-bridge and
upset, and it was only with great exertion that the horses
were extricated.—lpswich Express.
THE MATHEw FUND.—On Wednesday night a
meeting for the purpose of raising a sum of money ne •
eecessary to relieve Father Mathew from his present
difficulties was held at the Nelson Assembly-rooms, Mr.
Lawrence Heyworth in the chair. Several other highly
influential gentlemen wero present, but in other respects
the meeting was but poorly attended. At the close of
the proceedings upwards of 731. was subscribed. A
provisional committee was appointed, Mr. Lawrence
Hey worth being nominated treasurer.—Liverpool Albion.
RESTORATION OF THE MONUMENT TO GENERAL
PrcToN.—We have much pleasure in stating, that a very
handsome subscription towards carrying into effect the
above desirable object has been commenced. We hare
also great pleasure in stating that the Mayor, William
Morris, Esq., of Carmarthen, has kindly consented to
act with Capt. Gwynne, in carrying into effect the pur-
posed restoration of the monument.—Cumbrian.

INVERARY CASTLE.—We are glad to announce the
convalescence of Lady Emma Campbell, who has been
indisposed for some weeks past. The Duchess of Argyll,
who has also been suffering from a quinsey in the throat,
is fast recovering her usual state of health. This Marquis
and Marchioness of Lorn are expected at Inverary early
in the ensuing month to pass the Christmas with their
noble parents.
DEAru OF REAR-ADMIRAL COCHRANE.—We have
to announce the demise of this venerable flag officer on
Saturday last, at Bathford, the seat of his brother, at an
advanced age. His commissions wore dated as follow:—
Lieutenant, Dec. 26, 1800—Commander, July 30, 1805
—Captain, March 24, 1806—Rear-Admiral of the Blue,
Nov. 23, 1841. The Admiral, when commanding the
