LIVES. —A distressing beat accident resulting in the loss of three lives occurred last evening at Plymouth. A boat containing four men, named Caseley, BrewOtt, !lowa and Hingston, who had been working on board a steam dredge in Stonehenge Pool, put off from the dredge with the intention of securing the vessel before leaving her for the night. Whilst so engred the boat was struck by the dredge, and at the same moment a heavy sea caught and eapsized her. The four meo were seen clinging to the wreckage, and boats put off to their asaistanee, but before they could reach the scene of the accident three of the men had disappeared. Ilingston alone was savid. Ed-EDIOLNES, Eleatic Stockings, Chemicals of every kind pra wools poet promptly. Kay Broc, Stockport.  SOCIZT, GOSSIP, Mom Th 4 World.) ~.,The teetotallers, who tab so lively an interest in Weston 'e walking feat, will to shocked to hear that at Liverpool he walked in a skating rink belonging to a licensed victualler who keeps one of the smartest American bars in the city. The newest thing out is a retreat for governesses, Caton Puree of Westminster conducted one last week at Kilburn. Professor Mauthner of Vienna operated some time since for amaurosis on a man in his 102nd year, and restored his sight. This was his first operation of the kind. He has now successfully made another, on an oculist 06 years of age. These operations excite immense interest in the profession. While people are turning their attention once more to the chances of being grilled or crushed its theatres, they should recollect there are other places where there is an equal chance of such misfortunes occurring. There are many music halls which have but one narrow exit, and there are others with long narrow passages leading to the street, which would infallibly be blocked at the beginning of the panic, and render all egress impossible. There are countless churches and chapels also with only one narrow outlet, which would in the event of an alarm become impassable. As the greater number of churches andchapele are isolated, there is no excuse whatever for this paucity of practicable dcora I do not understand why, when every one in the neighbourhood of Monte Carlo is talking about the atrocious murder committed in the gardens there, on an unfortunate gambler who bad been seen to ve:ti sixty thousand francs, no local paper, with the honourable exceptions of the Colonic Li. angers and La Craraehe (the two unsubaidiced ones), makes any mention of it. The poor man was found stabbed to death, with four wounds, under a palm-tree last Friday week; and every visitor there is discussing the matter, as well as that of the bodies of two suicides found in the grounds during the seine week. Yet, excepting from these two papers, not a public word of explanation can be obtained. But lam wrong to say Ido not understand. I understand the reason only too well. The Duchene of Edinburgh has received a number of visitors at Eastwell during the last fortnight, including the Duke and Duchess of Albany, Count Adlerberg, Lord Dalhousie, Lord Hothfield, Lady Agneta Montage, and Captain Wynne Finch. Thu Duchout will shortly visit the Queen at Oeborne, and early next month she is expected to lease England for St. Petersburg. I have a letter from Mr. A. K. Colquhoun, written from the P. and 0. steamer Anemia, near Colombo, on the 19th December. 1883. He says t "I am off again on an exploration of the interior of Indo-China, and expect to be about eighteen mouths engaged on the work. The exploration will embrace ad the regions bounded by China (north), Gulf of Siam (south), Annam and Tonquin (east), and Eurm (on the west). I am well supplied with fume, LIMO good 11,131 a. touts, and have great hopes of bringing back great results."
