DEATH OF BURRELL EDWARDS, ESQ., OF SUTTON.
—On Sunday this gentleman, who was well known for his ec-
centric habits, was found drowned in a pond on his estate at
Sutton. On Saturday evening he asked one of his labourers
whether he thought there were any fish in the pond. The
man said he did not know. Mr. Edwards then instructed him
to go the next morning (Sunday) very early and rake the
pond about well, to see if he could stir any fish up, and to tell
him if there were any. This singular request was attended to
as desired, and while the man was raking the pond, he felt
something remarkably heavy, and on pulling it up discovered
it to be the body of his master. His stick was lying on the
bank.—lpswich Express.

for stealing two candlesticks, value 25., for which be was con-
victed, and sentenced to six mouths and hard labour, and in

excited great disgust amongst the inhabitants and visitors.
It is upwards of fifty years since a similar exhibition has taken
place.
MR. AUGUSTUS NEWTON AND THE BAR.—The
following order has been affixed in the hall of the Middle Temple:
—" The masters of the Bench having full) investigated the charge
preferred against Augustus Newton, Esq., barrister of this society,
and having heard him in his defence, are unanimously of opinion that
his conduct at the bar, as proved before them, has been in several
instances highly unprofessional, and is deserving of severe censure.
And they do order that he be excluded from the hall for the period
of two years from this date, and that this order be affixed to the
screen in the hall. Dated the sth day of June, 1845."

LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S TROOP-

SHIP APOLLO.

Yesterday evening a very painful interest pervaded the Artillery
Barracks at Woolwich, in consequence of a private letter having
been received from Greenock (announced in the " Shipping List"
of last evening), describing the loss of her Majesty's troopship
Apollo on the coast of Newfoundland. The letter was received by
the packet.ship which reached Liverpool in the early part of the
week, addressed to Messrs. Baine and Johnson, merchants in the
above town, from their agents at St. John's, Newfoundland. it
bears the date of Friday, the 6th of June, and briefly announces the
melancholy fact that the Apollo troopship, with troops for Canada,
had been lost at a place called St. Shots, near St. John's, and that
80 of those on board had perished. At first the report was con-
sidered by the officers of the garrison as unfounded, neither the
same conveyance which brought the above letter nor the Great
Western, bringing any communication from the officers or crew of
the Apollo, respecting the lamentable occurrence. On referring,
however, to the last advices from the officers on board, and the
great distance where the sad catastrophe is said to have occurred,
perhaps off one of those isolated spots which are so numerous on
the banks of Newfoundland, where the only communication is by
coasting vessels, the belief that the reported calamity was but too
true gained ground.

The Apollo sailed from Sheerness in the early part of April last,
having on board from the Woolwich garrison two companies of the
Royal Artillery Corps—viz., of the Ist and 9th battalion, under
the command of Captain Bent and Captain Collington, with the fol.
lowing officers attached :—Lieutenant Travers, Lieutenant Gleig,
Lieutenant Level, Lieutenant Evans, Lieutenant f; znt, Lieutenant
Ord, Hon. E. T. Gage, Lieutenant S. K. Bayley, Lieutenant R.
Granville, and Lieutenant J. G. Boothby, with Dr. Bent, of the
Ordnance Medical Department. They were to relieve other corn.
panics of the Royal Artillery in the Canadian territory, under
Major Furneaux and Captain Cater. The ship arrived at Ports-
mouth on the 10th of that month, and took her departure on the
19th, bound for Cork, Halifax, and Quebec, taking on board r:
the former port portions of a regiment of the line. Tit
last advices received by the authorities bear date Halifax, the
28th of May, announcing her safe arrival at that port, and
the satisfaction of those of the Royal Artillery that the troop
which had embarked at Cork had been landed there.
She was to sail from Halifax on the following day for her
destination, Quebec. It appears from other accounts of that date
that a succession of very fearful gales took place off the banks of
Newfoundland, there being at that time a vast accumulation of
ice. Several ships had been lost, and amongst them was the
barque Jupiter, from Liverpool, bound to St. John's. She had
been crushed by the floating ice, and so suddenly that eight out of
the ship's company perished witk her. The captain, Mr. Sea-
mond, of Scarborough, and the remainder of the crew, escaped the
same fate by jumping on a piece of ice, and subsequently obtain.
ing possession of the ship's long boat, which providentially had
floated. Respecting the fate of the Apollo, the greatest anxiety
must necessarily prevail until the arrival of the next Halifax
packet. The Apollo has been engaged in conveying troops to
different parts of the world for several years. She was corn.
missioned on the 3d of March last by Captain Ratcliffe, her
officers comprising Lieutenant Risk, Mr. Williams (master), M►.
Graham (surgeon), Mr. Dowell (purser), and Mr. F. J. Kent
(second master). She carried eight guns, and was upwards of 1,000
tons burden.

Yesterday the distribution of prizes, awarded by this institution,
took place in the theatre of the College. The Archbishop of Can-
terbury presided, and was supported by the Bishops of Landon.
Winchester, and Lichfield, the Dean of Westminster. Lord Rad-
stock, and Sir C. Clarke. The theatre was crowded by the friends
of the pupils. The Most Rev. Primate then made a few prefixal.
nary remarks as to the business of the day, after which
the Professors in order addressed the meeting on the int-
provement and good behaviour of their respective pupils.
The prizes were then delivered in the following order :—Depart.

At the termination of the distribution, the Caen/tax rose, and
stated that he was sure all parties present would be highly
gratified with the many proofs of the good behaviour and the great
improvement made by the various pupils, which was no doubt
owing to the very efficient Professors chosen for their instruction,
and that he, should Providence spare him, would be ready at any
time to assist this valuable Institution by every means in his power.
The Bishop of London proposed that the thanks of the company be
returned to the Archbishop of Canterbury, not only for his exer-
tions on the present occasion, but on many former times. The
Dean of Westminster seconded the proposition, which was carried
unanimously. The meeting then separated.

thalf.past ten for Birmingham, on reaching Camp Hill, came in
sight of a train proceeding from Birmingham, on the same line of
rails, and ere the engines could be reversed both trains came Into
fearful collision—one engine being completely destroyed and the
other very nearly so by the shock. These engines were the finest
and most powerful on the line. One of the engine drivers and
stokers jumped off, but the former was severely hurt, having fallen
on his back on the rails; the stoker was likewise hurt, but not so
seriously. The men an the other engine escaped. From thirty to
forty of the passengers are estimated to have been more or less
hurt, but it is not supposed that any of them were dangerously in-
jured. The moment that the accident was heard of at Birming.
ham everything was done by the officers of the company to afford
relief to the sufferers. The cause of the accident is said to have
been the leaving of the Birmingham train before the arrival of
the train from Gloucester, a thing altogether against orders. :The
whole circumstances, however, were to undergo official investiga.
tion last evening.
A RUSSIAN COUNT, HIS COUNTESS, AND CHILDREN
BURNT ALIVE BY THEIR SERFS.—We have received from Southern
Russia the news of the tragical end of Count Apraxin,
known for his divorce from his first wife. This gentleman, who
treated his serfs with unheard.of cruelty, has, together with his
second wife and children, fallen a victim to their vengeance. The
infuriated people at midnight surrounded his castle, and having
gutted it of its contents, bound the inmates, and set fire to it.
The Count, who bad freed himself, attempted to escape, but was
overpowered and beaten to death by this savage horde. The fine
wife of the Count Apraxin had married an Hungarian nobleman,
but the Pope would not give his consent to this marriage, which
besides was not reecgnised by law, her first husband being still
alive. The catastrophe which has taken place has now, however,
removed this obstacle, and the union having been sanctioned by the
Holy See, the Countess has been received at the Court of Vienna
and by Prince Metternich.—Dcbats.

Cch-rateHURCH-RATn theA spirited contest regarding
a
of 3d. i pound, for the repair and enlargement
of the ancient parish church of St. Dunstan, Stepney, one of the
oldest and most interesting ecclesiastical edifices in the kingdom,
terminated yesterday. Both parties exerted themselves, and much
excitement prevailed in the parish. At four o'clock the poll finally
closed, and a few minutes afterwards the Rev. Mr. Vawdrey, the
rector, announced the numbers as follows ;--For the rate, 840;
against the rate, 991 ; majority against it, 151. The rate was
consequently lost. A vote of thanks to the rector and churchwar-
dons was carried by acclamation, and the contending parties sepa.
rated amicably. It was stated the next step would be an appeal
to the Ecclesiastical Courts in Doctors' Commons, and that the in-
habitants in refusing the rate were likely to be involved in consi.
derable expense and litigation.
