MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT A THEATRE.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT THEATRE
A melancholy accident occurred on the 18th,
at the Theatre Malibran, of Venice, where a
company of rope-dancers and tumblers have
been for some time performing. A human pyr-
amid having been formed, consisting of three
men upon one another's shoulders, the man
who carried them all began running about
ing somewhere, he lost his balance, in conse-
quence of which the uppermost man fell, and
had his brains dashed out upon the boards,
and the second struck his breast so severely
against the ground that his recovery was des-
paired of. The horror and confusion of the
scene may be imagined. Both the victims OF
this accident are fathers of numerous families.

THE TEXAS DEBT.-The amount of the pub,
lie debt of Texas, as scaled in the Auditor and
Comptroller's bill, which is now confirmed by
the State, was s6,827 ,27S Ga. The amount
appropriated in the bill for the liquidation and
settlement of the debt, is, with interest, only
S4,539,07G 81. The sum Of $2,2So,2O2 III OF
reported debt appears therefore TO be unpro-
vided for in the law. On looking over the
Auditors report. we find class OF debts re-
cognized and their value fixed, but not regu-
Iarly filled and audited. Two of these items
amount to S2,Il7,l89 81. These nearly ac-
count for the apparent discrepancy. We sup
pose that the amount not appropriated tor, re-
presents debt which is known to exist, but OF
which the evidence is not yet filed so as to re-
qure an appropriation TO pay them.-Nec

THE DAILY DISPATCH
a VILLAGE SWEPT AWAY.

ONE HUNDRED PERSONS MIssiSa.-The
heavy rains which fell on Tuesday and We'd
nesday last have produced a most alarming
destruction of life and property in Yorkshire,
Lancashire, Cheshire and Derbyshire. One
truly awful calamity has occurred at the viii
lage of Holm6rth, near Huddersfeld, by the
overflow Of reservoir used for supplying the
wollen mills and a number of the dwellings in
the neighborhood with water, .and known as
the Holme Reservoir. On Thursday morning,
about one o'clock, il burst with tremendous
roar, and water rushed down the valley with
terrific force, carrying away an immense mill,
built Of stone, with all IFS heavy machinery
&c., several out buildings, two rows OF new
buildings at Holm6rth, and part OF the village
OF Hinchliffe Mills. Nearly all the inhaoi-
tants were asleep at the time. and were swept
10 a considerable distance, number OF bodies
having been taken from the river 10 miles
from the spot. One hundred persons are mis-
sing, and more than sixty dead bodies are said
to be lying at the inns.
In the neighborhood of Manchester, the riv-
ers were so swollen by the rain that many Of
them oyerfowed their banks, submerging all
the low grounds in the neighborhood. A grea
norton of the Peel park laid under water
A large portion of Lower Broughton was also
submerged, the ground in some places being
covered to depth of nine feet. On the sou,F
side of Manchester, near the lower part OF Ok
ford-street, a good deal Of property was de
stoyed, and the inhabitants OF some of thu
houses in Little Ireland were compelled to TAX
refuge in the upper stories, in consequence O
the Easements being flooded. Several of tn
mills in the neighborhood had TO be stopped il
consequence of the lower stories flooded.

FRANKS TRADE WITH YANKEE.-"The
last time | was in ST. LOUIS" says Dan Mar
BILE, 81 was sitting in the door of old Frank
-, country fashion, on top of the counter,
legs pendant, when real nutmeg came boom
ing along, and in he comes with heap of
bundles in his fists. Frank was down on ped.
lars, and Yankees in particular, but he was al
ways "set'' for joke, and loved equal to an
lsraelite to drive sharp bargain.
The Yankee nodded to me, and nodded
towards Frank, intimating, there was his pic
tim. Frank was busy smoking and figuring
over his ledger.
"Hoaw'd du,' observed the pedlar.
"No, no, no,-go on" Frank peevishly re-
sponded; but that wasn't the Yankees reli-
gion, he wanted to trade, and was bound to
do it.
"Kalkiate, Squire, couldn't drive trade
or nothin' with yeou folks tn day2"
81 calculate you calculate about right, for
you cannot" was the sneering reply.
"Wall, guess yeou needn't get huffy about
it.. Naow here's dozen jenuine razor strops,
ten dollars and half; yeou may have 'em for
ten dollars"
81 tell you don't want any of your trash,
"ShO, how you talk I'll bet yeou five dol
lars if yeou make me on offer for them ere
strops, we'll have trade YETI
"Done," says Frank, putting V into my
hand.
The Yankee deposited like sum-when
Frank offered him picayune for his strops.
"They're your'n," said the Yankee, as he
quietly fobbed the stakes. "But," he added,
with great apparent honesty, II calculate a
joke is joke, and if yeou don't want them
strops, iii trade back -
Franks countenance frightened.
There it ISL said the Yankee, as he re-
ceived the strops, and passed over the plea
yune. "a trades a trade-and meow you're
wide awake in airnest, guess, the next time
yeou trade with that ere. pic, you'll do better
than to buy razor strops."
Away walked the pedlar with his strops and
his wager, amid the shouts of half dozen
fellows who dropped in.
