On Thursday morning a meeting of the church-
wardens and parishioners of St. Mary, Whitechapel,
was held in the vestry of the church for adopting some
mode of celebrating the approaching christening of his
Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, in place of the
usual illumination ; the rector, the Rev. T. Champney,
in the chair. The Chairman, in, opening the business
of the meeting. said the garish of IVhitechapel had
never been behind in testifying their loyalty and rejoic-
ing on all public occasions, and as a demonstration of
their loyalty and affection on the present interesting
occasion was highly desirable, the more particularly as this
was the first time in the annals of this kingdom that a
Queen Regnant had given to her country an heir to the
Throne, and it having been suggested that in place of the
usual illumination a subscription should. be set on foot,
by means of which the deserving poor of the parish might
be relieved, thereby enabling them, in common with their
more fortunate brethren, to participate in the joy natu-
ral to so important an occasion, several gentlemen ad-
dressed the meeting, when the following resolution was
proposed and unanimously adopted—" That it appears
to this meeting to be highly desirable that the baptism
of the Prince of Wales be celebrated in this parish by re-
lief being given in some way to the poor instead of il-
luminating." A Committee was then formed to divide
the parish into districts, and canvass the parishioners for
subscriptions, and to consider the best mode of carrying
into effect the object of the meeting. Thanks were then
voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.
LAMENTABLE CASE OF DROWNING.—An
inquest was held beforo J. W. Cowley, Esq., one of her
Majesty's Coroners for the county of Bucks, on the 1i th
inst., at Ashendon, on view of the body of Alfred Smith,
aged seven years. On the previous Friday deceased and
his brother, aged nine years, left home for the purpose of
sliding upon a pond in the neighbourhood. The survivor
stated that he and his deceased brother went on the ice
together, that the ice broke, and let him in. It was not
over his head. The deceased immediately tried to pull
him out by the hand ; that in so endeavouring he fell in.
The elder one, being somewhat taller, broke his way out,
and was saved. Re could not see his poor brother, 'being,
as it was supposed, at the time under the ice. He ran
home and told his mother, who with others succeeded in
getting the body out. Every means was resorted to to
restore animation ; all, however, proved unavailing.
Verdict, " Accidentally drowned."

A gentleman travelling in Ireland asked a fille-
de-chambre at Belfast if she was sure the railway from
thence went no further than Lisburn ; she replied, " In-
deed it does not, but it comes back again."
LINENDRAPERS', SILKMERCERS', LACE-
MEN'S, HABERDASHERS', AND HOSIERS' INSTITUTION.—
The annual ball in support of the funds of this Institu-
tion was held at the Queen's Concert-rooms, Hanover-
square, on Thursday, and the exertions of the stewards
met with the greatest success, upwards of 500 persons
being present. Mr. Adams was in attendance with his
band, and the party had not separated at an early hour
this morning. There were nine recipients of pecuniary
relief last year, and we are glad to learn that there is
every prospect of the full fund of 20,000/. being realised
this year.
INQUEST.—Thursday night a long investigation
took place before Mr. Baker, the Coroner, at the Hare,
Cambridge-heath, Bethnal-green, on the body of Daniel
Mulhallin, aged 74, whose death it was alleged was
caused by " drugging." Amelia Mulhallin, of No. 2,
Cambridge-place, said that she was deceased's widow.
He was formerly a non-commissioned officer, and latterly
lived upon his pension of 51. 4s. .101 d. per month, with
the assistance which witness afforded him. On Thursday
morning last he went to Oxford-market to receive the
