Messrs. Piokford and Co., the well-known carriers, in
order to meet their very extensive and largely-increasing
business, have recently erected, on a very considerable scale,
at a cost of about £20,000, premises adapted to their trade,
in close proximity to the London and Birmingham Railway,
and connected therewith by a junction line at Camden Town.
The whole was designed by Lewis Cubitt, Esq., and com-
pleted under his supervision. The arrangements are of the
most perfect and unique character, and the building is more
vast and extensive than any other in England.

STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT.-011 Thursday evening last, a
very serious occurrence took place on the river off Rother-
hithe, by the running down of a waterman's skiff by the
Orwell, Wing, master, on her voyage from Ipswich, to Lon-
don. Two persons were drowned, several others were much
injured, and the boat was stove in and rendered a complete
wreck. The two who were drowned were John Catlin, a
a butcher, and John Catlin, his son, aged nine.—London
Times.

DISTRESSING

ACCIDENT.—Loss OF FOUR OF THE
STROMA PILOTS.—The following is an extract from the let-
tor dated " Huna, Pentland Firth, Nov. 27th :"—" It is 'my
painful duty to inform you of the loss of four of the Stroma
pilots in the Pentland Firth, on Friday morning, the 19th
instant. They were cited upon a sheriff's warrant to appear
at Buswick, South Ronaldshay, to give evidence in an inves-
tigation at present going on before the sheriff of Orkney.
They left Stroma early in the morning, the weather at the
time favourable, but a good deal of sea running in the Firth,
although it could not he perceived from the island. When
near •South Ronaldshay, between the Barth Head and the
Lowther Rock, about a mile from the shore, a sea filled the
boat, which immediately swamped, and the four unfortunate
men met with a watery grave. The heartrending circum-
stance was witnessed by persons on the shore ; but it was
impossible to render any assistance, as no boat could leave
upon the day in question, the wind being dead on shore, al-
though the Caithness mail-boat made Buswick in compara-
tive safety in about an hour and a half afterwards; but by
that time the swell had greatly diminished."

mat of Beaumont Smith, so far as the circumstances
.tending it, has taken people in the city greatly by surprise,
.nd more still the discharge, or presumed discharge of Ra-
pallo. Not because that person may not be, and must be
accepted as being, innocent of implication in the mal-prac-
Hes of Smith, but because it cannot be understood on What
end, consistently with the result, he should have been ap-
nded and incarcerated. Again, Smith after pleading
sates that he has made a full disclosure of all particu-
d persons (substantially) connected with these nefari-
e:schequer frauds and forgeries. This confession after
eg laid before the judge was given up, and remains in the

what next? Are there no parties taken into

confession may be believed, he had accomplices ;
ices more guilty than himself; accomplices who re-
and monopolised all the gains flagitiously made by
ainted Exchequer issues, by which the convict avers
er benefitted to the extent of one farthing received, or
,ted in, or was cognisant of, any of the stock or other
.!ulations to which the proceeds were devoted ;

they still at large ? It seems clear that other

LANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Sunday morning last,
ahabitants of this town were thrown into a state of me-
holy excitement by a report that Mv. Nathan Shellard,
:her, of Monnow-street, had drowned himself in the river
'mow. Mr. Shellard had been very lately set at liberty
the Lunatic Asylum at Whitchurch, since which, he
hurled his wife, the loss of whom, no doubt, pressed
,ily on a mind scarcely restored to sanity. He was ob-
ed to be very low spirited all day on Saturday, and early
iunclaY morning his son, a youth about nineteen, missed
out of bed, he got up immediately, but could find no
e of his father, who had dressed himself and gone out;
ength, being led to the river, which runs at the back of
nnow-street, by the dog, and footsteps being very clearly
:ed down to the river without any track back again, it
generally supposed he had thrown himself in ; the dog
Lt to the very point of the bank where the footsteps were
:ernible, as though he had there lost the scent of his mas-
Boats were immediately provided and persons were
eging the whole of the day, but the river was so much
lien by the late rains that it was a mere chance of finding
river still continues very high, and all at-
rs to find the body have hitherto proved unsuccessful.
