DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A blacksmith, named Wind-
mill, was employed, a few days since, at the ironworks of
Mr. William Haden, near Dudley, in assisting to raise a
large vessel called a ladle, containing four tons of molten
iron. The ladle was overturned, and the liquid iron
flowed over him, and so burned him that he died shortly
afterwards.

THE HoN. MRS. NORTON.—The Times of Thursday
contains a letter from Mr. Norton, in reply to that by his
wife. Friday's paper contains a final rejoinder by Mrs.
Norton, in which she thus concludes the correspondence :
—" And now I will answer Mr. Norton no more. There
is no story so false, no scandal so foul, that it shall wring

from me any further reply. I have too strot.,

SUICIDIL—Two men, Thompson and Jackson, were

Jackson had committed suicide at the station-house he

this had divided the arteries of his aim, so that he had
bled to death in the cell.

A MOST Errniottimslmit Visit was caught in the
salmon net of Mr. Hazlett Hamilton, of Bundoran, in the
Donegal Bay, last week. It is a beautiful creative—tire
head, shoulders, and waist 'resemble a woman ; the lower
part that of a salmon. When we saw it, it was alive .in:a
vessel of salt water, and Ir Hamilton hoped to preserve
it alive in that way. The eyes were beautiful—its arms
when touched became skid', and the whole body appeared
sensitive tothe touch. Ithesy persons considered it a ynang

TRE DETECTIVES.—•A remarkable instance of sagacity
occurred last week. A London clerk, named Reclu, ab-

:2 feet deep, is in the course of construction to receive the
water brought from a spring at iLoddingt'on. The Dien
bad completed two arches of ,Hi feet span over the top,
,supported in the middle by a centre arched wall. Several
02, them had gone below for the pattse of cementing the
skies, when the foreman discovered a sinking, and gave
instant alarm, when every ,one :from below hastened
through the trap-door, by . which - they descended. The
last man had just got „through when the arch gave way
with a tremendous crash, and no .lees than 8,000 bricks,
besides 100 tons of earth, fell in.—Nuidstone Journal.

TIIE MU/ME& OF ELIZA. agi3livockl4 which occurred
in May, 1838, and of which the perpetrator has never been
discovered, placed another supposed criminal at the bar of
the Southwark Police Court on Monday week. It turned
out that a ,poor bootmaker, tanned Peter Lamisclial, Is
Daneby birel„hut long resident in London, had quarrel-
led with a woman with whom he had ,eohabited, and,
while drunk, lad threatened, as she deposed, to " serve
her as he had served Eliza Grimweod." Being sober and
frightened in court, he endeavoured to explain his words
into another meaning, declaring that he 'lead merely
threatened to serve his female ' friend" as Eliza Grim-
wood was served. The prisoner was young still, so that
he could have been lout barely eighteen at the time when
the murder was committed, and there was no:ovidence to
associate him with the crime, except the casual expression
already mentioned, helped out by a new statement, wolun-
teered by the woman Jennings from the witness4boT., that
"he was always talking about it in his dreams*: The
magistrate, however, thought the Case sufficiently -su.vici-
(cius to warrant his sending the Dane to prison, on remand,
;in order to give time for further inquiries. Re was
brought up again on Thursday and discharged. •
FALL OF A HOUSE IN THE STRA.ND.—A most alarming
accident happened shortly after 8 o'clock- On Thursday
rimming, _by the falling of a four-story house in the OeCupa-
tion.of _Mr. Thompson, situatein the Strand, 'at the north-
west angle of .Arundel-street, London, by which three of
-the inmates—consisting of Mr. And Mrs. Thompson, and a
young wan, their shopman—lost their lives. The building
has long 'been in a tottering condition; through the pull-
ing down of the adjoining premises, or the site of which
the ground was being excavated, preparatory to erecting
some large building. The excavators, lit is supposed, partly
undermined the gable end wall of Mr. Thompson's pre-
mises. To that cause is the accident attributed. Mr.
Thompson, with his shopman, were' engaged in the shop
at the time; and without the least warning the walls were
seen by the passers by to collapse, and, with the roof, fall
inwards, with a Imd crash. It was nearly three hours
before the sufferers were got out ; they were shockingly
mutilated, and seemed to have been crushed to death.
The servant girl had gone into the cellar under the pave-
ment, when the next moment the house fell in, but the
arching of the cellar preserved her life; she was extricated
in the course of an hour, and was found not the least in-
jured. Part of the gable end wall fell outwards upon some
labourers engaged in the excavations adjoining the build-
ing, and one named Roe had both thighs broken, besides
other injuries.

TREASURES or NATURE.—II has been well remarked, that
there is not an imperfection that flesh is heir to, for which a
remedy is not at hand, to discover which we have only to
search the vast laboratory of Nature. A more apt illustra-
tion can scarcely be offered, than in the application of a
natural production, of American growth, namely the BALM
OF COLUMBIA, in cases where the human head has beer,
deprived of its, becoming and natural ornament. As a pro-
moter of growth, strengthener and restorer of the Hair,
C. and A. Otnainou's BALM OF COLUMBIA, is unrivalled,
and- in cases of baldness its virtues are inestimable. The
further advantages of the Balm may be summed up in its
freeing the hair from scurf, producing a beautiful curl,
e to the nurser
pre-
serving it from premature greyn
ss and its excellent adapta-
tionclimate destroys its efficacy, and it has proved a most
valuable article of trading speculation. Sold wholesale y, which should

duction of the passing tees.
Mr. BRADLEY moved that the matter be again referred
to the Finance Committee, and, on the vote being taken,
the amendment was lost by 33 to 14. The purchase from
Mr. Swarbrick was sanctioned by the Council. It was
understood that all the recommendations, except those
relating to Messrs. Brade and Kaye, were to stand over
for a month, according to standing orders. Ultimately,
Ater some discussion, the recommendations were confirmed.
HoaNnY explained that the deputation had come
to an arrangement with the Woods and Forests, whereby
the foreshore at Birkenhead would be secured to the
Council indisputably on payment of £4OOO. The Finance
Committee's general proceedings were then confirmd, as
were those also of the Watch Committee.
LIE TEMPERANCE PROCESSION.—The MAYOR read a
letter from the Secretary of State, approving the conduct
u41;,11 big wnrshin and his brother magistrates had taken

in reference to the temperance procession
DOCK PROCEEDINGS.—ThC Dock COMr_
ings were confirmed, the Chairman congratulating the
Council on the facilities which would he afforded by the
new Customs Bill in checking frauds. He explained that
the baggage warehouse ,could not be erected until the
position of the new Landings-stage, for sea-going steamers,
was decided upon.—The MAYOR said that Sir William
Cubitt was preparing plans for the stage, which would he
ready shortly.
TOWN IrtIPROVEMENT4S.—The Improvement Committee
recorded recommendations to apply to Parliament for
powers to widen Hatton-garden ; to make a new street
from North John-street to the front of St. Georges-'hall,
and to nrake the high level alteration of Shawls-brow,
shown by 'the plan proposed by the surveyor, and referred
to in the report of the Improvement Committee of the
30th September, 1852. In consideration, however, of the
urgent recommendation from the committee appointed at
the recent town's meeting to postpone the consideration of
the new street, it was agreed to reconsider the improve-
ment question at a special meeting in a fortnight It was
elicited that the cost .of the proposed new -street would
be £235,700. The proceedings of the Markets, Education,
Gaol :and House •of Correction, and Town-hill Establish-
ment'Committees were then confirmed.

FEssyrnotron.—The proceedings of the Health Committee
comprised : .1. Recommendation to increase the salary of
Mr. James Nevi lands, Borough Engineer, frem £7OO to
£1;000 per annum, and a subsequuent resdiation recom-
mending such increase to be from £7oo'to 1800 per an-
urine. 2. Recommendation to increase the-salary of Mr.
C. DaVies, AsSistant Local Surveyor, from £3OO to £350.
The -resolution of confidence in Mr. Langsdale also formed
aTortion of the proceedings.
`The proceedings having been read,
31r. DOVER, deputy-chairman of the Health Committee,
said,. when I came into this room I was - prepared to ex-
pect, on the part of several gentlemen who have unfortu-
nately mixed themselves up with events of the last
tkrancil, certain concessions ; but I find tiatt no proceed-
ings of the kind have taken place, and I am almost
tempted to go somewhat out of my way, 'because I am
,commissioned by a gentleman, who is nowabsent (allud-
ing to Mr. Langsdalem owing to family afiliCtions. lam
--prepared to make an admission and a' concesion, though
-bat gentleman, gaps, in order, was not the first to
,effend, he is not uuwaTaing to be the first to eaologise.
The MAYOR. —I have not the slightest .143esitation in
saying that the whole ,subject was to me wanatter of the
'deepest regret, and tttake some blame to myself—and I
do -so frankly and openly—that I did not,llB the chairman
6f This council, require an apology from both the gentle-
men, for both used language which I considered was not
justifiable. I was, however, not willing :to interrupt
the full and fair freedom of debate, nor do I think that
a,cliairman has a right to anticipate what gentlemen
may be going to say, although I did feel that it was very
'likely something of a personal nature • world have oc-
curred. I think, as Mr. Dover is now prepared, on the
part of Mr. Langsdale, Ito withdraw an expression made
use, of by Mr. Langsdale, which was not justified, whether
calied for or not, by the words which fell from Mr. Fer-
iiihengh, it is not necessary for me to give 73-I. opinion ;
but I am satisfied of 'this, from what has -occurred be-
tween Mr. Fernillough and myself, that if ..Mr. Langs-
Ilkleiis prepared to withdraw that expression, I am sure
Mr.vFernihough, in a spirit of generosity, 'and for the
purpose of relieving this !Council and myself feem an. un-
pleasant situation, and one which causes me-very deep
regret,—l am sore Mr. Fernihough will, in oche same
spirit, respond and express likewise his regret that any-
thing: of the sort shouldianniiltingly, and in tatc beat of
argument, have taken place. '
A' Isog pause ensaed.—Mr. Ferniliough, who se at the
foot ofithe long table, neitheirtvee nor spoke.
The 3IA.YOR.—If not, then we must go on *lth the

Drocect&ings.
Mr: bovEn then proposed-that the salary of Mr..:New-
landsi Ix increased from £706.t0 £BOO per annum. Mr.
HENDEaSON moved, as an amendment, that the salary be
increased by £3OO, making it £l,OOO a-year. After avod
deal ordiscussion, the antendmentwas carried by 24 ts;2o.
The increase of Mr. Davies's salary was sanctioned wtth-
out opposition.

Mr..DovEn observed that he never felt himself placcl
in a more difficult situation.. I almost wish (he said) that
I -could• use an influence which I le not possess over
gentleman, near me. Some people Will say, I dare says
that I have gone rather too far alreudy, and somewhat
compromised the dignity and eharacter<sf a gentleman we
all, know It. —el' that the Health C"

.kinaTespec, as well as aat o.
inittee. lam almost inclined to sit dawr again, to give
the gentleman an opportunity [The speaker here sat
down. Mr. Varnihough did not rise.]

The MAYOI2.—Mr. Diver, you hadbetter proceed:
Mr. Dovii.m.—Then I believe I bave.a ,very short duty
to perform, aud,that is to move the confirination of the
proceedings of the Health Committee.
The MA.To-R.—=Mr.. Dover, will you permit ine, and Mr.
Fernihough, will,you allow me to ask you to :get up, and
end tbis,most painful business, after what 'has fallen from
Mr. Dover.? 1 thud: if Mr. Dover would give ,the intima-
tion which ,he has given to me in private, that he was
prepared to move that the resolution be removed from the
books, Mr. 'Feniihougfi's difficulty would be likewise re-
moved, and this most painful subject brought to an end.
Mr. FEnzanonon.—l rise, sir, now to relit:lv& this
Council from the difficulty under which they ENNIII to
labour, and to ask them' o allow that censure upon myself
to remain on the 'books.

Mr. How r.—lt does appear to me that the Council
are not considering this question in the way in which the
regularity of their proceedings require. It appears to me
to be the duty of the Conned to ascertain that no resole,
tions are placed upon the books of any of its committees
which interfere in any .way with its own functions. lam
quite sure that, in recording that resolution, the Health
Committee did not intend thus to infringe ; and lam
equally certain, if we allow the resolution to remain on
the books, we shall sanction the right to canvass the pro-
eeedings of the Council, and to enter into the discussion
,of questions of order which can only with propriety be de-
tided by ourselves. If we allow the Health Committee
thus to interfere with our functions, we shall be establish-.
ing a very injurious precedent, and for that reason, with=
out going into the question of the reeent quarrel, I move
that the resolution of the Health Committee be not
confinued- _

Mr. BANNER seconded'the motion.
Tns MAYOR.—When I saw that resolution of the com-
mittee, it Ivas clear to my mind that the Health Committee
were unquestionably departing from the usual course. It
is not usual for any committee to refer to what has taken
place in.the Council, and this resolution would amount to
nothing, without it was confirmed by the Council. I
think the mistake has been here. If the gentlemen form-
ing the Health Committee, in their individual capacity,
had expressed their opinion of Mr. Alderman Langsdale's
character, and had chosen to send it to him, it would have
been perfectly tly right; but I think it would be introducing
a precedent extremely dangerous for any committee to
put resolutions upon their proceedings which came after-
wards to be discussed by the Council. I was, therefore,
exceedingly desirous for the Health Committee to have
expunged that resolution, and I now suggest, and ask
members of the Health Committee to consent to its with-
drawal from their proceedings, and thus remove what I
believe to be the bar to Mr. Fernihough makin make apo.
logy which he authorised me to say he would if it
was removed.
After a discussion, in which Mr. Beckwith, Mr. Bigham,
Mr. Holt, Mr. Picton, and Mr. Gladstone took part,
The MAYOR, took the votes on the motion of Mr.
Hornby, that the proceedings of the committee be con-
firmed, with the exception of the resolution in regard to
the chairman. The motion was carried by 25 to 13.
Mr. FERNIROUGII then rose.—l congratulate this
Council (he said) upon the firmness they have shown in
preventing a precedent being established, that I believe
would be fraught with the most serious •
future conduct and character of the Council.
11th
That to I
havee
been the instrument of that firmness being maid, • ed, is
to me one of the most painful circumstances that ever
