DEATH OF AN OLD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.—
On Tuesday, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the Golden An-
chor, near the workhouse, Clerkenwell, on the body of Mr. Samuel
Cave, aged 75. The deceased had been 54 years clerk at the Sara-
cen's Head, Snowhill, and in consequence of his meritorious services
was much respected by his employer, who allowed him many indul-
gences. As he was proceeding to his residence in the City-road, last
Saturday, he dropped suddenly in Goswell-street, and breathed his
last.
SACRED TlARmorac SOCIETY .—The annual general
meeting took place lately at Exeter Hall, when a report of the pro.
ceedings during the past year was read, the Committee re-elected,
and other business transacted. It appears from the statements con-
taMed in the report that twenty public performances had taken place
during the year, to ten of which the subscribers had admission ; that
the list of subscribers had received considerable additions, being at
the present time nearly full ; that the receipts of the year exceeded
4,900/. ; and that, in addition to the invested property of the Society,
the balance in the treasurer's hands had been increased to upwards
of 3001.—Musical World.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, MANCHESTER —A
requisition to the President of the Chamber of Commerce, requesting
him to call a special meeting of the Chamber, for the purpose of con-
sidering the propriety of expressing its opinion on the exclusion from
office, at the recent annual meeting, of Mr. Birley, has been laid on
the table at the Exchange, and also in the Chamber of Commerce,
and it has already received about 120 signatures. We understand it
is intended that it should be resented

outbreak occurred at the farther end of one of the arches, to reach
which it was necessary to pass through the trap-entrance in front of
the premises, and from the fact of there being on each side strong
party walls, and but a single opening by which the smoke could pos-
sibly escape, the of from the burning materials, consisting of
straw and wicker baskets, was found to be so stilling that, prior to
Mr. Braidwood'guished, and tile damage rendered comparatively
arrival, no one could possibly venture below. One
of the firemen, however, having, under the superintendence of that
gentleman, clad himself in the '? smoke-proof dress, descended at
once into the vault, and so directed the hose that in a short period the
fames were extin
trifling.
