FORTUN ATE ESCAPE —On the evening of Sunday
an occurrence of a most serious character took place on board the
Eclipse, Richmond steamer. It appears that the Eclipse left Rich-
mond-bridge at its usual time, with 200 passengers. She proceeded
down the river until nearly opposite Hammersmith when it was dis-
covered that the boiler had become red hot, and that if an explosion
did not take place the vessel would take fire. The crew imme-
diately poured water into the engine.room, and the consterna.
tion amongst the passengers was so great that the steamer was
run to the nearest shore, on the Barnes side, where the whole were
disembarked, several jumping into the water and wading ashore.
Several of the females were nearly in a fainting state from fright,
and were conveyed to the Boileau Arms public-house, in the
Hammersmith Suspension Bridge-road ; and eventually the whole
body crossed the bridge to Hammersmith Broadway, where the
Hammersmith Conveyance Company provided omnibuses for their
conveyance to town.

and 5,0001. in money.

The East India and China Association have re-
ceived a communication from the Government, stating that the
Governor of Ceylon has been instructed, if he sees no objection to
the measure, to direct the postmaster at Colombo to make up mails
by way of Marseilles for transmission by the direct Calcutta line of
packets.

FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR ANDOVER.—On Monday
morning, 16th inst., at seven o'clock, an inquest was held at Enham,
near the town, and in the borough of Andover, before Harry
Footner, Esq., Coroner, upon the body of Mr. Samuel Guyatt,
a respectable yeoman, holding a farm at Enham. The jury ap-
pointed Mr. Charles Dale their foreman, and, from the evidence
of witnesses, it appeared Mr. Guyatt had been at Charlton, near
Andover, the whole of Saturday, sheep-washing, preparatory to
his annual sheering, and, from the fatigue and extreme heat of the
day, had taken more beer than he had been accustomed to. He
left the Royal Oak Inn at Charlton, on horseback, about ten o'clock
at night, for his own residence, riding very fast. His wife, sitting
up for her husband, about twelve o'clock, heard his horse in a
meadow behind the house, and, on calling the carter, the horse was
found there, with saddle and bridle, and without his master. The
carter then commenced a search, and, about a mile from the farm,
found Mr. Guyatt lying insensible under a hedge. Mr. Westlake,
surgeon, of Andover, deposed that he saw the deceased about three
o'clock on Sunday morning, at his own house, and, on examination,
found a severe contusion on the back of his head, which, he stated,
caused death. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
The deceased was about forty, a plain English farmer, and much
respected in the neighbourhood.
DEATH IN Vi ;f 1.1:1; Ross- STREET PH ISON.-- Aron-
day afternoon Mr. W. Payne held an inquest In Whitecross-street
Prison as to the death of Mr. Edward Milford, aged 35 years, late
a prisoner. The deceased had been in the above prison since the
9th of May for a debt of 3001. He was in very good health when
first admitted, and remained so until the morning of Tuesday last,
when he was seized with violent pains in the head. Mr. W. Ward,
the prison surgeon, was called in with great promptitude, and pre-
scribed for the deceased, whom he found in a state of insensibility.
He was subsequently placed in the infirmary, where he continued
get worse, and died on Saturday last, from inflammation of the
lungs. Verdict—" Natural death."

THE WELSH IRON TRADE.—We are sorry to find
that there iF a continued re.action in the price of iron. The Ynis-
cedwyn and Ystalyfera Iron Companies have this week lowered their
prices for castings 11. per ton. We apprehend the failure of a large
speculative broker and dealer has operated prejudicially on the mar-
ket ; but if the fear entertained rather generally, that Parliament
will stop the progress of many of the railway Rills for this session,
should prove groundless, we hope there will be sufficient demand
for iron to prevent a return to the old rates of wages, which, we
fear, mud otherwise take place...Combrfan.
