SALISBURY, MARCH 16.

A number of the unfortunate sufferers on board the
Keut, arrived here yesterday, on their way to London.
As the Mendicity-house was completely occupied, there,
was no public place of refuge for the destitute strangers ;
however, on the intelligence reaching the ears of Mi.
Beare, of the Rose and Crown, he offered to provide
them with beds, and with everything else which his
house could afford, in order to make them comfortable ;
and in addition to which, he set a voluntary contt ibu-
tion on loot, which was promptly filled. At the same
time, a woman with three infant children were turned
out of the Mendicity-house, when night and intense
cold pressed heavily on them. Mrs. Beare heard of
this, and with great benevolence, provided the widowed
mother and her helpless orphans with food and shelter
for the night.—Devises and Wiltshire Gas. March 17.

The Prince of LEINENGEN has arrived at Brussels, tra-
velling under the name of Baron de Stocksmar.
Mr. CHARLES BUTLER (a liberal and enlightened
Boman Catholic) says, it has come professionally to his knowledge
that the venerable Bishop of DURHAM has disbursed more than One
Hundred Tkuusand Pounds in charity.
A few days since, about twelve of the studentt of the
University of Cambridge went up the river Cam, in as
many canoes, to the distance of four or five miles, and
landed at Granchester. After remaining there a hort
time, the party re-embarked, when two of the young
Gentlemen (named TYREN and FIELD), incautiously
getting into the same canoe, it unfortunately upset, and
both the young men instantly sunk, never to rise again
alive. Their loss is deeply deplored throughout the
University, each bearing a most excellent character. A
Coroner's Inquest sat on the bodies on Monday last.
Verdict—" Accidentally drowned by the upsetting of a
boat." To prevent misapprehension from the similarity
of names, it is advisable to state, that it is not Mr. Fan-
DIMICIC FIELD, B.A. Fellow of Trinity College, but
Mr. CHARLES FIELD, a pensioner of that College, and
the son of Mr. CHARLES FIELD, a Russia merchant, in
London, who was unfortunately drowned.
One day last week, as Mr. Doimeo, of Lincoln
College, Oxford, was rowing a small boat or skiff up
the Cherwell, in a very narrow part of the river, where
he was met by a skiff en the return, and, through some
mismanagement, the boats struck. Mr. DOWNING,
being unprepared, was precipitated from the boat, and,
being unable to swim, was, I am sorry to say, drowned.
Two or three skiffs were within sight, but of no use, f‘r
the unfortunate young man was drowned long before
they could arrive. After a while, grapples were ob-
tained, and after remaining nearly two hours in the
water, the body was found, and conveyed on a hurdle
to the Port Mahon public-house, but life was extinct.
Yesterday morning, a fine boy, about two years old,
belonging to Mrs. Keane, of Nu. 12, Acorn•street,
Bishopsgate, in the absence of his mother, got playing
with the fire, and, as is supposed, was amusing himself
by lighting pieces of. paper, when the flames unfortu-
nately communicated to his dress. His cries brought
the inmates of the adjoining house 'to his assistance,
who found him stretched on the floor, with the whole
of the lower part of his body burnt quite black. He
expired in an hour after. An Inquest was held on the
body in the afternoon, and a verdict of—Accidental
Death returned. •
A new Gas Company has been lately formed at
Brighton, with a capital of 20,0004 and' the whole of
the shares are disposed of.
