Loan Commissioners, and a portion of which (7701.) WOO
conchae! of the agreement is to be paid off next year; buts.
there can be no doubt that a loan may now be raisd sta
much lower rate'of interest than five per cent, per enamel

.\IELANCFMLY )i-!Ai ii OF A CLER.GTMAN'S DAUOIfr
VCR. —airing the whole of Wednseday a feeling of regret pre-
vailed in the s•eighbourhood of Clap Lam at a fatal accident
which happened to a daughter of 'he Rev. Benjamin Hoe, of
Cure- lane. It appears that at the back of the house is a small
fish-pond, and after dinner the children were usually taken to
play in the garden. and the deceased among them. On this
occasion the deceased child got away from the servant, and
whilst running on the bank of the pond, unfortunately stepped
into it. The servant used every means to get the child outs
which she succeeded in doing in a few minutes, and conveyed it
to the house, when a surgeon was sent for, who promptly at-•
tended. Every means were used to restore animation, but, as
the child had been in a sickly state of health, all his efforts were •
useless. The Rev. Mr. Hoe was at York at the time, bet was
expected home on Wednesday night.
