DOG SPEARS.—A serious accident occurred last week to
the son of Mr. Hall, of Wild Court, a tenant of Lord Brid-

THE NIGER EXPEDITION. - The Wilberforce steam-
vessel, recently returned from the Niger expedition, was paid
off at Woolwich on Wednesday last, and the Kroomen trans-
ferred to the William and Mary yacht. The Kroomen ap-
