On Saturday last a young man, having the appear- ance of a groom, went to Chaundy's tobacco shop in the Corn Market, in this city, stating that he was the servant of Mr. Craven, late a Member of Exeter col- lege; that his master had ordered him to call there for a quarter-pound box of the best cigars, and to de- sire Mr. Chaundy to send his account to the Mitre Inn, where he was staying, when it would be settled, together with the box of cigars. The account was taken at the appointed hour, but Mr. Craven had not been heard of there. In the course of conversation the man stated that his master was come to Oxford for the purpose of paying the bills he had contracted while at college, and that he had been sent round to all his master's tradesmen, requesting them to send in their accounts. It has been ascertained that Mr. Craven is not in England, nor has been for some time. |

A NARROW ESCAPE OF FIRE.- An accident occurred on Monday evening last, at the house of Mr. Chaundy, tobacconist, in the Corn Market, which might have been attended with serious consequences had not prompt and efficient steps been taken. It appears that in making a communication with the culvert the gas main was in- jured, so that the escape of gas immediately ensued. This continued during a great portion of the day, and in the evening became still more intolerable. Mr. Chaundy, alarmed at the circumstance, and not knowing where to trace the escape, resolved to sit up all night, in order to be prepared in case any injury might ensue. Towards one o'clock, as Mr. C. with a candle, was endeavouring to trace in what quarter the gas made its entrance into his house, it ignited in a corner of his sitting room, and for some time afterwards a loud report continued at in- tervals. An alrm was given, and Mr. Alderman Sadler and Mr. C. Adams repaired to the spot. The flame was extinguished, and the city engine was fetched, though it was not required, and the gas turned off at the works. The prompt adoption of these measures put a spot to what might have been a serious accident, and involving the loss of property to an incalculable extent. An acci- dent in OXford, arising from gas, is a very uncommon occurrence, and is to be wondered at, when we consider how very general the use of gas is here. The above oc- currence is one that arose from peculiar circumstances, over which neither the Company nor the consumer had any control. |

THE LATE MR. R. CHAUNDY.- The following lines are written for the tomb-stone of the late Mr. Richard Chaundy, of this city, by one of his Executors, after a close, unbroken friendship of nearly forty years:- Near, and saving, to excess, His wants were very few; But to a brother in distress No end his bounty knew ! From small beginnings he amassed Some thousands to his store; The hour he sign'd his will had pass'd; The next - he was no more ! Kind reader, blush not as you pass, For good example shown; The sands of Time had left the glass, He died without a groan! Oxford, May 28, 4 a.m. |
