rum in the vault.—iiletary Gazelle.
Friday, Mrs. Fauntleroy was admitted to an infer-
, ieve with her unfortunate husband. She was accompa-
nied by

between them, all was buried in oblivion and mu.tral
forgiveness, and they parted with the strongest demon-
stration of affection, though that feeling was interrupted
by ebullitions of sorrow too overpowering for restraint.
SUPPLY OF WA TE It TO EXTINGUISH Fates.—Upon
application being made, on Thursday, at the Mary-la-
Bonne Office, by the Enginemen and Turncocks, 'for. re-
wards for their 'early attendance at the fire which oc-
curred the preceding night at a linen draper's in Oxford-.
street, a communication was made 'to the Magistrates
by Mr. Cot, the Secretary of the Grand Junction Water
Company, relative to the speedy supply of water. He
said that an abundant supply of water could at all
times' be furnished by the Grand Junction Water Corn-
'patsy, but that the momenta fire was discovered, every
one ran to procure tAte engines, 'and the Turncock was
permitted to remain in his bed until the engines arrived;
and then it was discovered, that they were useless
without a stipply of water. The Magistrates con-
sidered the information very important, and pointed
out to the engine-keepers the necessity of their instruct-
ing the patrol and watchmen to give immediate notice
of a fire to the tuincoelts. The Magistrate said that no
instances of
. a want of water had 'come to their know-
ledge in Mary-la-bonne parish; but whenever any de-
lay had taken place, it proved, on inquiry, to have
originated in the turncock not having been called,
