SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—TIIE LICENSED
VICTUALLSREe SCHOOL.—yesterday being the anniver-
sary of the birth-day of his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, the Licensed Victuallers gave their annual felt
and fancy fair, in honour of the day, and for the bene-
fit of their school, is the grounds of the Surrey Zoolo-
gical Gardens. The concourse of company was very
great ; crowds were arriving during the day, and severald
thousand visitors must, in the course of it, have passed
through the entrance gates. The articles to be disposed
of, consisting of such things as are
generally se©a on
these occasions, were arranged under tents in the usual
manner. The purchasers seemed liberally inclined, and
a brisk sale was kept up. In addition to the sights ex-
hibited in these grounds on ordinary occasions, an excel-
lent military band was in attendance ; there was also the
Russian family Kantrowitz dressed in their national cos-
tume, who sang their native melodies with very good
effect. Herr Meyer, called the " magic siffieur," also
attended and displayed his art ; and, in a word, the
series of amusements and exhibitions lasted for many
hours, to the delight of both the young and the old. The
appearance of the children of the school, who were pre-
sent, was very good ; no children oould have exhibited
a more cheerful, healthy,
and clean condition. In the
evening fireworks were discharged, and the great fire of
London in 1666 was repeated. The whole was well
managed, and speaks well for the arrangements of the
gardens under the new proprietor, Mr. Tyler.
EXTRAORDINARY LRAP.—On Thursday night,
between one and two o'clock, the following very stran‘,(.
occurrence took place at the Northumberland Hotel,b
Dublin :—lt appears that a gentleman, who gave his
name as William A. Marsh, and said he was a native of
the county of Westmeath, went to lodge at the above
hotel on Monday, where he continued up to the nigh(
in question, and at the hour stated he got out of bed
and leaped out of the window into the street. Police-
constable 45 C was near the spot, and took up the gen-
tleman, who did not seem much hurt, although he had
leaped, according to the policeman's account, from the
third story ; but the gentleman himself said it was from
the second window of the building. The constable ac •
companied Mr. Marsh to Sackville-place station-house,
where he (Mr. Marsh) told the following story to Mr.
M`Cann, the inspector on duty :—He said he was
IN and that they were hurry-
aroused from his sleep by hearing the voices of persons
e could not &fame. The noise,
in the closet, who were speaking about going on board
awsuhricehtrhi
he said, continued for some time, and in a very confused
manner, so he got afraid, and leaped out of the window.
His left arm was a little hurt. He refused to go back to
Mr• M'Cunn had
the hotel, and as •no charge against
ho brought him to the • Prince of Wale,
the gentleman,
ai

Hotel, where he went to bed. lt is little short of a per,
Marsh escaped feet miracle that Mr. M almost unhur'
considering the dangerous leap he made.

DEATHS IN THI MILL P.Ausox.—An in,

was held last evening in the Millbank Prison (late len,
tentiary), before Mr. Higgs, on the bodies of Robert
James, aged 24, and John Ward,r aged 41, convicts under
sentence of transportation. Ile body of James was the
most emaciated ever seen even within this prison ; the
appearance was that of a human skeleton with skin
drawn tightly over it, the bones almost piercing through
it. Mr. Samuel Hatehard , deputy:governor, said the
deceased Robert James was received into that gaol on the
28th of March last, from Exeter gaol, under sentence of
transportation for ten years, having been convicted on
the 2d of
January at the Exeter Sessions of housebreak-
ing. ne had been in that prison before for three years
and a half, having been previously convicted of a similar
crime, and sentenced to ten years' transportation, which
was commuted to the above term of imprisonment. When
his term expired he was sent to his native place
(Exeter). The deceased on his second admission told him
that for some time before he committed the crime he had
where he remained until his death,
been sleeping under hedges, and was nearly starved. Dr.
William Baly, physician to the prison,. said the deceased
laboured under scrofula. an consumption when admitted.
After he had been in about six weeks. he was removed
(yesterday) morning. He bad
wine, brandy, eggs,
winhtoict etooilkifiritTl:2,
this
and everything he required. For
pis
nwtihc ha t
town
on the sth of
gaol,
the last three months he became so emaciated that it was
surprising he lived so long. In fact he had never seen
so thin a man. In this case a verdict of " Died of con-
sumption" was returned. With reference to the other
deceased (Vard), it appeared that he was received into
having been
pcornisvoinctoedn
at
tle the 2d n
sessions
July of horse stealing, and sentenced to ten years' trans-
portation. On the 9th of the present month he was at-
tacked with water on the brain; he fell into a state of in-
sensibility, and died on Saturday. Verdict, " Died fro.n
ifr ohmel di
water on the brain."
