About Twenty-Five' Years Of Age, Has Bee...
About twenty-five' years of age , has been crushed to death , at Bridlington Quay , Yorkshire , by the fall of a large mass of cliff , weighing from twenty to thirty tops * „' , T ?* Crystal Palace Comtany . —A financial Report has just been issued , from which it appears that Ff the amount expended up to the 30 th of June , as shown by tbe accounts , is 1 , 231 , 000 / ., and the total amount of Outstanding liabilities of every description , including all remaining expenditure for the entire completion of the works , may be taken very accurately at 45 , 000 / . In addition , the sum of 65 , 000 / . remains due on the original purchase of land , while , on the other hand , a sum of about 18 , 000 / 1 is due to the company from Mr . Wythes ,
under the arrangement described in the last Report , and tber « still remains surplus land beyond the precincts of the park and gardens , the market value of which may be taken , at a moderate estimate , at about 20 , 000 / . . . . A reference to the accounts will show that the bond Jide earnings of the first year ([ exclusive of the second issue of season tickets , which arc properly applicable to the second year ) have been , in round numbers , 140 , 000 / . ; and the expenses of every description , including interest on loans , & e ., 78 , 000 / . ; showing a net proGt of 66 , 000 / , out of which a dividend of 5 per cent , on the ordinary share capital has been already paid , leaving a surplus of 12 , 299 JL carried over . " Arrangements are being made with the railway company for a second line ; and the works of the west-end line are now proceeding with
rigour . Wiia > -CouKT , Druby-Lahe . —The Earl of Shaftesbury and several other gentlemen visited Wild-court , prury-lane , on Monday , in order to see the results of the late improvement .- ? . There are now in this court eighty-three families occupying ninety-two rooms , which are in a condition of marvellous comfort compared with their former state . Of these eighty-three families , twenty-two had lived in this court before its renovation . In a pecuniary point of view , the matter has been profitable , and in this respect is worthy the attention of proprietors of houses in similar localities in the metropolis ; for since the change there has been an advance of more than twelve per cent , on the old rentals ,
notwithstanding that there has been a slight reduction m the rentals of the individual occupants . Some idea may be formed of the revolting condition of this court up to November last , when it is stated , on the authority of the secretary to the society which has worked the change , that sixteen cesspools have been cleaned out ; from one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty loads of night soil carted off ; and from three hundred and thirty to three hundred and fifty loads of accumulated refuse , animal and vegetable , dug out of the basements and conveyed away . In this last operation , a solid mass of living vermin , three or four inches thick , bad to be encountered and got rid of ; and at one time the process became so loathsome that the labouring men Engaged in it struck work .
' Heai , tii of London . — In the week that ended on Saturday , the deaths of 9 ( 13 persons , viz ., -173 males , and 490 females , -were registered in London . In the corresponding week of 1849 , the deaths from all causes rose to 1967 , and in that of 1851 to 14 f » 6 , cholera having JhnAe considerable progress at both those periods . Taking corresponding weeks in the last ten years , it will be found that the deaths ranged above 1000 in nil the weeks of the series except three , those of 1845 , 1847 , and 1850 . Thu death * returned for last week ( which occurred in an increased population ) , when compared with the facts now stated , present a very favourable ^ result , tast week , the hirth * <> f 880 boys and 798 girls , in all 1 ( J 78 children , were registered in London . In the ten corresponding weeks < if the yonrs 1845- / M , tbe average number was 1378 . —From the J ! , ' // htrnr-f ! eneraVf Weekly Return .
Turn QuAUTiuti . Y IIktpun of Mauriao . ks , Uiiithh XSD Dkathh ( Marriages , January , February , March , J 855 ; Births nnd Deaths , April , " May , June ) has just been published by tbe . Registrar-General . From this wo gather that 29 , 131 marriages we . re celebrated in the first three months of the year , or less in number by nearly ity ' OO than the marriages in the winter quarter of the ypar 1853 . The . births of 1 ( i . VifiO children wore registered in the quarter that ended on June . ' 10 , 1855 , or less by 7000 thnn were registered in the corresponding duftrter of the previous year , and nioro , to nearly the Mmo extent , than were restored in tho spring quarters Of 1851-60 . Thoro wore 10 fi ,. » 84 dmUhn in thoqunrter , or 8918 more <] aath . s ti [; in were recorded in the . corresponding quarter of 1851 .

Two youths were , ho drendfully burnt that one Is already doiid , and the other is lingering without a hope of recovery . Mit . Stkaiian , tub Hankki ; it . —The High Aahurst oatate of thin gentleman was on Monday sold for 27 , 000 / ., after nomc little difficulty , owing to * thc original dooda having been lost or nmluid . A Yoimo Udv haa been killed in North Wales by foiling from a cliff , the edge of which gavo way banonth her . A precisely similar accident ]> n » but recently
oc-~^^^^^ mmmmmm etnrea" atr BroadBtatrs : ~ " Should' not -the" © age * of the cliffs be railed off ? The Police : Inquiry . —All the evidence has now been received by the Commissioners ; but their Report has not yet been published . Hackney Bbook —The draining ( by the Commissioners of Sewers ) of the new Islington Cattle Market into Hackney Brook is exciting some attention . An action has been brought against the Commissioners , and is now pending in the Court of Queen ' s Bench . In the meantime , the Chairman of the Commissioners , Mr . Jebb , denies that any nuisance has been committed . Whittington Club . — The half-yearly meeting of the members of this Society was held at the Freemason ' shall , on the 6 th inst ., J . J . Mechi , Esq ., president , in the chair . The Report congratulated the members upon the success attending their efforts to raise the sums required to complete the new Club-house . The rebuilding had been at length commenced . It appeared from the correspondence read to the meeting that unexpected difficulties had arisen with regard to alterations and improvements . The Club-house , however , even if built exactly as it was before the fire , would be an improvement on the old one . Resolutions were passed supporting the Committee . Suicide by ax Isvaijd . —Honorah Donovan , fiftysix years of age , who had been suffering from bodily infirmity for some time past , was sitting at breakfast with her husband , in Crown Court , St . John ' s , Wapping , when she suddenly drew a razor from her pocket , and exclaiming " This will do me good ! " cut her throat . She was taken to the hospital , but soon died from loss of blood . " Cadwallauer and his Goats . "—A Dr . Price recently brought an action at the Cardiff Assizes against a neighbour whose dogs had destroyed his goats . There was no particular interest in the case ; bnt the appearance of Dr . Price was singular . His hair fell over his shoulders in long locks ; his silvery beard descended to his breast ; and he wore a jerkin of Lincoln green , curiously scalloped . He objected to being sworn on a particular Bible because of its containing pictures . His daughter , who was examined , could not speak English , and was nearly as eccentrically dressed as himself . She said her name was " Gwenhiolen Hiarylhes Morganwg- " —that is to say , "the Countess of Glamorgan . " Being asked as to her religion , her father said she had been religiously brought up , and would " make a splendid Christian . " The jury gave a verdict for Dr . Price .
