DEATH BY BURNING.—An inquest was held yester-
day, before Mr. Curry, touching the death of Peter Row-
linson, a child of two and a half years old, who lived with
his parents in Back Falkner-street, Windsor. On Thurs-
day evening deceased was much burnt by upsetting a jug
of hot water from a table. He died the following day.
Verdict accordingly.

FATAL. ACCIDENT AT THE DOCKS.—Yesterday, about
mid-day, as a man named William Sloane, about fifiy-
years of age, and who was generally employed in assorting
timber, was passing a lorry discharging cotton under the
crane at the South side of the Union Dock, a bale, which
the carter was moving with his hook, fell upon him from
the top of the load, and crushed him so dreadfully that he
never again spoke, and it is supposed he died almost in-
stantly. The deceased has left a wife, but no child. The
inquest will be held this day.
BEGGARS.—Mr. Gray, of the Parish-office, appeared
yesterday at the Police court, to hear the informations
preferred before Mr. Rushton, against between twenty
and thirty persons who had been apprehended for begging,
and receiving the magistrate's ditect:ons respecting them.
Amongst them were many poor creatures, young and old,
including destitute females with infant children, and others
who had been deserted by their husbands. Some of them
consented to be passed to their parishes ; relief was or-
dered for others, and a few were discharged with a strong
caution.

STEALING A WATCll.—Yesterday, at the Police-court,
a woman named Margaret Hewitt was charged by Edward
James, a warehouseman, with stealing his watch. Com-
plainant said that at two o'clock that morning (yesterday,)
he had gone to a house with the prisoner, who there seized
his watch, cut the guard, and, throwing the article under
the bed, endeavoured to make off. He got hold of her,
and held her, until, giving the alarm, a constable came,
and took her into custody. The watch (stated to be worth
£7 75.) was not found; but a hole was observed in the
floor, near the spot where it had been thrown. The pri-
soner was committed for trial.

We understand that Messrs. Seeley and Co., the Lon-
don publishers, have in the press an important and
seasonable letter on the rumoured concessions to Popery
in Ireland, addressed to Sir Robert Peel, by a clergyman
of this diocese.

CASH-BOX FOR THE KING OF ASHANTEE.—We have
seen, at Messrs. Chubb and Sons', of St. Paul's Church-
yard, a very elegant cash-box, which they have just com-
pleted for the King of Ashantee. It is made of solid
silver, and weighs two hundred and seventy-six ounces,
ihe size being seventeen inches long, twelve inches wide,
and seven inches deep. The ornaments and chasing,
consisting chiefly of lions, tigers, and elephants' heads,
designed by Mr. T. Sharp, are of the richest description ;
and the box, which is intended to hold his Majesty's
gold-dust, is secured by one of the detector locks, having
a massive sold key.—Morning Chronicle.
