Loss OF AN INDIAMAN.— The Queen Victoria, an
Indianian, left Bombay for Liverpool, on the 11th March
last, with a very valuable cargo of India produce ; and, on
the ith April, during' a sharp gale, it struck on the south-
west reel of rocks off Rodrigues, and soon became a total
wreck. The captain and some of the rrew were saved;
but Mr. James Serle, the first officer, Mr. Robert Plun-
kett, a passenger and nine seamen were drowned.

It is stated that amongst the losses sustained by the
sinking of the steamer Queen on her passage from Bristol
to Ireland, was one of £2OOO in sovereigns, the entire
savings of twenty years, by one of the passengers, who,
with his wife and three children were going over to Ire-
land to settle upon a far n which he had requested his
father to buy for him. By carrying his sovereigns with
him, this man saved sixpence, the cost.of an order upon
the Bank of Ireland.

ALARMING FIRE AT HALlFAX.—Between twelve and
one o'clock on Saturday morning, a fire broke out in the
warehouse of Messrs. James Akroyd and Son, of Bowling
Dyke, Halifax. The fire-engines were speedily on the
spot to stay the progress of the devouring element, but,
unhappily, without any success, as the roof of the build-
ing fell in, with a tremendous and awful crash, in about
an hour after the discovery of the fire. The warehouse
contained an immense stock of grey goods, and a large
quantity had been taken in the previous day. The loss of
property is estimated at £lO,OOO or £12,000 ; but
the insurance thereon amounts to £6,500.

IMPROVEMENT IN THE CULTIVATION OF NOM—To
the list of the various purposes for which iron is em-
ployed will probably soon be added the cultivation of
hops. The Rev. Mr. Formby, vicar of Frinsbury, has
the credit of suggesting the improvement, which consists
in stretching a stout wire along each alley, to which wire
the poles are fastened. The advantages of this plan are,
that poles of much less value than those usually employed
may be used ; that the injury from gales of wind is
avoided ; and that the alleys, being open to the influence
of the sun and air, the mould, the fatal disease of the hop,
is thus prevented. At Halting, near Rochester, a garden
of nine acres thus cultivated affords a most pleasant
sight.—Maidstone Journal.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—At a recent dinner of the
Plymouth Royal Naval Club Sir R. Dobson gave the fol-
lowing statistics of this noble asylum :—Now in Green-
wich Hospital, 2700 pensioners ; of whom their are—loss
of right arms, 14 ; left ditto, 9; total 23. Loss of both
legs, 3 ; right ditto, 35 ; left ditto, 33 ; total 71. Loss of
both eyes, 52; right ditto, 46; left ditto, 50; total 148.
Ruptured both sides, 177 ; ditto, right side, 194 ; ditto,
left side, 147 ; umbilical, 7; total .525. Total maimed
and ruptured, 767. The above does not include any of those
suffering from distortions, contractions, fractures, disloca-
tions, or old wounds not having required amputation.

TILE MORTALITY ON THE METROPOLIS.—The total
number of deaths within the bills of mortality in the week
ending September 9 was 880. An average of five years
gives 903 as the number of persons dying each week, but
an average of five summers gives only 846. The highest
point which the thermometer r.:ached in the week over
which the present return extends was 78 degrees, and the
lowest 54, the variation during the former week being from
78 to 54. An average of the temperature during the
month of September for the last nine years gives 58 de-
grees as the daily mean, which in the week referred to,
as well as in that preceding it, was 86.
THE LATE STORM.—The committee appointed to raise
a subscription for the relief of the many sufferers in the
county of Norfolk, by the terrific storm of hail on the 9th
ult., met on Saturday, when the loss was reported to
amount to about £30,000 in the tract of country extend-
ing from Attelborough to Thorpe. A proposal to raise
the sum of £20,000 by a v duntary rate of fourpence on
the county assessments, appears to be generally approved.
A meeting of the yeomanry, to be presided over by the
high sheriff, and attended by the lord lieutenant, will
shortly be held, to consider of the proposal.—Essex
Standard.

STRANGE AND MELANCHOLY EVENT.—.About seven
o'clock yesterday morning, the bodies of two women were
discovered lying near to each other at the outside of the
east protection wall. On being conveyed to the dead-
house, it was ascertained that they were the corpses of
two sisters, namrd Essex and Mary M'lntyre, daughters
of Mr. Peter M'lntyre, late of the Excise, and residing
on the Perth-road. When found, the features of both
were a good deal disfigured, which led to the supposition
that they had been a long time in the water; but this is
not the case, as they were both seen on Monday last late
in the afternoon. The cause of this lamentable event is
not absolutely certain; but the probability is that both
committed self-destruction while in a state of temporary
insanity.—Dundee Herald.

THR GADDESBY MURDER.—Messenger was brought
up for re-examination on Wednesday, the 13th instant,
hut, as the investigation was strictly private, we can only
say that :.e was fully committed to take his trial at the
next assizes for the wilful murder ofJa mes Garner. Great
numbers were standing round the county offiice the whole
time of the examination (which lasted eight hours), and
much anxiety was manifested to catch a sight of the man
when it was concluded. The Welford road was complete-
ly thronged with people, and the gaol doors were crowded.
The excitement was intense ; and the execrations of the
people were louder than ever. We have heard many ru-
mours as to additional evidence and as to the nature of
the defence. but deem it unfair to publish anything
grounded upon report alone —.Noefingham Journal.
THE " NEW Youx HERALD."—Mr. J. S. Bucking-
ham has written a letter to the Times, re-asserting that
the statements in his book respecting Mr. James Gordon
Bennett's paper, the New York Herald, are true; and
that the journal "surpasses the worst newspaper ever
published in England : I may refer to Captain Marryat's
accounts of the newspaper press of America, in the second
chapter of the second series of his Diary, in which Mr.
Bennett's paper is there described as the worst of all the
disreputable papers in the United States, and, as Mr.
Dickens truly says in his Notes, their name is Legion.'
Captain Marryat mentions also the fact, that before he
had been in America six weeks he was attacked by Mr.
Bennett, and a copy of the paper was sent to Captain
Marryat, with these words written in the margin, Send
twenty dollars, and it shall be stopped.' "
ATTACK BY WASPS.—On Saturday forenoon, as a man
and his wife, belonging to Pomarium, were engaged at
harvest work on the farm of Goodlyburn, they acciden-
tally came upon a wasp's " bike," and so disturbed the
inmates that they made their appearance in immense
swarms, and fixing themselves upon the unwitting intru-
ders before they could get out of the way. They raised
an immediate alarm, and, in a moment or two, all the
shearers in the field were about them, using every endea-
vour to liberate them for their dangerous enemies. This
they accomplished, but not until the man and wife were
so severely stung, especially about the face—almost every
trace of features being obliterated—that they had to be
helped home, and put to bed, from which, as yet, they
have been unable to rise, the wounds having produced
violent fever.—Perth Courier.
