A correspondent at Worcester writes on the 2nd instant: "Last night a sad accident happened at Newman Villa, the residence of Mr. J.D. LINDSAY JP. After the family and servants had retired to rest, Mrs. HICKEY remained up to make a cup of coffee for a friend, during which time her clothes must have taken fire unperceived, and must have been burning slowly for at least a quarter of an hour; and alas! detected too late, for the startling discovery made her rush instantly from the place where she was sitting, when the fire was fanned into an inextinguishable flame, till almost every particle of clothing she had on was burnt on her body, and in about five minutes afterwards she expired. Up to the moment of her death she was perfectly conscious". Advertiser & Mail.
