A LIFE SAVED AND A LIFE LOST. - On Monday afternoon a little boy named Andrew GRAHAM, 5 years old, residing at 3 Fitzwilliam-lane, Dublin, accidentally fell into the lock of the canal at Mount-street Bridge. A man named James BEGGS, aged 50 years, jumped in, and endeavoured to save the child, but became exhausted in vain attempts to bring him to the bank.

The child was removed to Sir Patrick Dunn's Hospital, and was subsequently sent home, being nothing the worse. Beggs' body was recovered after a considerable time, by dragging the canal, and was removed his late residence. THE KNIFE IN WATERFORD. - At the Waterford Police-court on Monday morning Patrick WALSHE was charged with having stabbed a man named James CONWAY in the hand and thumb on Saturday night. It appeared that they were both under the influence of drink at the time of the affray, but Walshe had threatened before that he would "do for" Conway. Dr. BROWNE, who dressed the injured man's wounds, stated that if the cut on the hand had been an inch further back the prisoner would have kept his word and really "done for" Conway. Walshe was sent for trial at quarter sessions. At the same court Michael MURRAY was charged with stabbing a man named T. CATHRON in the face, at Ferrybank, on Sunday evening. They had some altercation about a woman, in the course of which Murray inflicted a wound with a penknife, which he was seen to throw away immediately afater.
