JCCIDENTS-, OfTBKCES-, c'c -.e-- A melanclsoly and affecting sc-ene occttrred at Southend, near Hull, about six o'clock on Wednesday evening. During the extreme vio- lence of /he storm, Thomas lia*rier £ John Sadler, William Kendall, Kben^.ar Biittison, i and John Parker, S-nc of the. IJibinbcr piJoh, I took a small hoat, ,iIh the intention of going' aboard their pilot boat, lying oft'lhc garrison. Just as they p'-lt oft", a Ireir.cMidbus vyave s!n:ck Ihe boat, and instantly upset her, in Ihe .sight -of a number of people assembled I at Southend. The spectators directly ran to atiord the -unfortunate men every possible -is. sistance, .but Ihe swell was no great, and the s-pray so strong, that it "was a task of the ut- movL di'dicully and danger. A sloopman, named Dixon, gallantly leaped into the wafer to "the assistance of the iniforlunate men, but in this humane attempt one of his legs was so in this humane attempt one of his legs was so I much bruised, ns to occasion considerable ap- prehension of his losing the use of it. AVenre gliid to heai-, however, {.hat he is something (,Ceti I ter. A man named Cowley, succeeded in dragging out one of »lie pilots, and two more were also brought out by some other persons. These -three were Thomas Hayncr, John Sad- I ler, nnM Wiiitam Kendall; Liso former was 'I' much injured: Sadler, when taken out, was to all aupe irKnce lifeless, but the means re- ol'i (i I commended by the Ffnmnne Society beting- ju- I diciously employed ior a considerable time, under the direction of- .Mr. Norris and Mr. Cra-ven, surgeons, whose -laudable exertions were above all praise, he was at length re- stored.—-Kendall at first manifested some ] 1. '1 signs of lite, hut. having received a violent contusion on the hetui, all attempts to restore perfect animation proved ineil'ccttia!. He has I left a widow arid nve children two of them are young girls; one boy a prisoner in l'rancc, and ;mother serving on board a man of war. A rope Wag thrown to Bftftison, which he suc- I ceeded in catching, but tits man who had I hold of it was unable to draw i>im ashore, and hclore any olhcr person could get Isold of it. Ihe poor man, being exhausted, lef go hi.s hold and was.jieen no more; Jie has -left a wife, I but no family. Parker sunk iminediateiv on the boat upsetting lie has left a wife and one chiid. Amongai others of^'the surround- ing spectators, whom the-accident brought (o the spot, the press-gang; were very active ir. I endeavouring lo gave the lives of these poor tnsti the dismal shrieks and cries of their I wives and children, whom the melancholy tid- ings had drawn thither, rendered the scene distressing in the extreme. Suicide.—A young lady of some rank in Dublin, having placed her alfectioiu on the son of a clergyman, by whom her passion was returned, was la My compelled by her guardian to v»ed a Major in the army. Des- pairing of happiness under such circumstances, and resolving not lo yield her person where she could not bestow her he.wl, drank on Ihe morning of her marriage, previously l» the ceremony being- performed, a (juanliiy of arsenic-and after lingering some hours in great agony, to the unspeakable distress ol three families, expired the, same evening. I 1 ritlay, Mary, Bafeuian was examined at I Ihe Town Clerk's Office, Leeds, before the I Magistrates of that borough, on (he charge of to Rebecca l erigo, wife of WiUiam l'erigo, it,ar tli,,it May, 1807. Soma particulars of (his tran- saction we have already laid before the public. Alter a Long examination, she was committed So "Y ork Castle, fo take her triaj at, the next assizes, on the charge of wilful murder. lie followmg daring robbery was commit- ted on 'Wednesday evening, between the Old bridge, at Bath, v and the turnpike-bouse on ihe Bristol-road: a young nun; named Hitch ings, returning from Bristol to Devizes, go! I out of the co&ch nt the said turnpike-house, Slaving be«ni previously acquainted with Sim- mons, the keeper ofthogate. lie spent Ihe afternoon there, in company with William Few and James Nichols. At six o'clock, 11 itch ings Guiifed lheholie 10 seek for lodg- ings in Bsfh, accompanied by Few and choK I V ;,cn Ihi-.Y l.ad proceeded about a hun- dred jiiids, Nitliois struck up the beds oi I II itch ings, fell upon liini, End seized him by ¡ the c TV., took from his pocket's a small leather purse, containing" eight guineas and a half in gold, and two 1/ Bristol notes, with which they decamped. Hitching* ran to lil(" zilt"-Cliili, it tilt., (.),'tl aliti told what bad happened. 1*0 was recommended lo Paul Scudamorc, the constable of the hun- dred of bath forum, who in three hours traced and took the oiicndeis into custody and on Thursday they were committed to Ilchesler gaol, for triai nt. the next assize for the county of Somerset. Caution to Dru^isls.—A little boy was un- fortunately poisoned last week, in Bedmin- stcr, by Inking sonIc butter of autimvny, which was served out to him, through a ints- tfike, from a druggist's shop, instead of anli- morviai wine. We cannot reprobate in lan- guage fcufikieu-tly strong the negligence of those druggists v. ho so frequently 'commit the lives of their customers, to boys, who, either I from negligence or i, (lo not or can- not distinguish between a poison and a salu- tary medicine. A most daring robbery was committed on Monday night, at the grist-mill of Mr". }]er. bert Lloyd, in Water-street, Carmarthen. Not being able to get in at the doors or win- dows, the villains forced their way lhrom>h H .I it waittMofeftmthkkncss.—TItccashhadlor- funaleh been removed early i„ tile evening-, except a small quantity of copper coin, which they obtained; and alter filling withHour a sack they had taken with them for the pur- pose, they made their escape undiscovered. A reward of L20 guineas is offered for their apprehension by the Mayor of Carmarthen. A woman, on her way lo Hull, on Friday, in order to have a tooih pulled, brought along with her an infant child, about three months old, which she had wrapped closely up, and laiu upon her bosom, to preserve it from the intense, coid. On reaching the surgeon's hOl¡t!<, she uncovered the child, when, bmcntnhle to Fciafe, It was iound to be iiiejes*, having we understand been unfor- iuiiaiely-smothcrcd, iu consequence of the too great caution alio "had used to prevent its great caution alio had used to prevent its suffering by the inclemency of the weather. f Thre^Fiwtcli. ^risorver*- rvlus were in con- 15( I'll finement at Portsmouth, have been lodged in Ihe gaol in that town, on a charge of forging h h Bank of England Noles. Tbey had succeeded I in passing several of the Notes, through some soldiers who were guarding them at Foi ton I prison. The Notes were very neatly executed, and are a good imitation, A shocking affair happened on Thursday last at Dowgatc chalk-pit, near Welling, j Bucks, fourteen men were at a work in the pit, which i 100 fecI deep, when an impend- Cl*fl'I,Ne via)', Illtl buried of, with two carls and four horses. Three of the men were dug out on the same day, two of whom were unhurt, and the other dead, aull three others were extricated in the course of the night, one of whom died afterwards 'he seventh man was protected by a cart, and is unhurt. The horses, although not killed, were rendered useless. A serious accidonl happened to the Carpen- ter of-the Inflexible, at Chatham, whilst attending to his duty on board that ship. He was going up the ladder at one of (he hatch- ways, and was followed by a marine who had a loaded blunderbuss in his band, the butt- end of which striking against a beam causad it to go oil, when the contents of the r)!undei- buss. chteiiy slugs, blew his hand io pieces, find some of them lodging in his body, in- dicted olhcr severe wounds,

To (his part of Ihe calculation objections may be made; till a horse is six yaars old, he is increasing in value. The presumption must 'nave been, lhat he was past his prime, when the esti- mate would, indeed, he too low. -,It i late C)f tile History Society of Edinburgh, It communica- tion from Col.

The kno", tltlsc ledge of the true cause of tba malady' will, it is hoped, be followed by the discovery of a specific, cure. Xenophon, when a young man, met Socra- ¡ tes in a narrow lane, he stopped the Philoso- pher with his staff, and asked him Where all kinds of moats were to be sold?" To which Socrates made a serious answer, and then de- nlandcd of him Where it was that men were I made good and virtuous?" at which Xeno- phon pausing, follow me then," said So- crates, -1 a:iti tliiie I;e, became the disciple of that father of antient wisdom. CUCIOTTS ANECDOTE.—Mxni af'«r THE Con- quest. when the French language was first introduced into our Courts ot Law, the society of Gray's Inn appointed an oHiccr. whose duly it was to summon the Students, &c. to dinner at tv.,(,Iyc o 'clock, by walking through every part of the Inn, and crying out Man- ger f Manger 1" The office continues to the present day, and the duty ot it is discharged at (he same hour, and therefore, from the change of custom and habit, may rather serve ior a summons to breakfast, than todinuer.JThis ancient dinner half is called the Mangeur, and receives a quarterly stipend for the use uf his uoou-day clapper to this hour. SrNGÚÚtHTY IN niGfi LIFE.-—The mistress of an ample domain aull family mansion in the dered a most eccentric character, Her hene- volence is unbounded, find she possesses an amiable disposition but she imbibes the most whimsical ideas. A few days since, she ima- gined that the Prince of Darkness had taken his abode in the hacks of certain ancient fa- mily chairs, and, in order to serve Satan with ;m action of cjcclmeni, she scut for a carpen- ter, and compelled him, in her. prsseuce, So rcduce the chairs fo stools.ke backs, of course, were condemned lo that element where tile is supposed to reside. This lady, on a.former occasion, received, as a present, a most beautiful animal .of the horn- ed .species, brought from Peru. She was ex- tremely partial to it, and the liltic favourite' was placed on the lawn before the house, where its tricks and appearance delighted Ihe family. The fond mispress having one day left a rose which she had plucked in the gar- J den, on ihe step of the hall, the favourile not I only breathed ihe fragrance of the llovrer, but itie, (lie Before he had finished lit'» repasi, the ladv noticed the act, and she immediately turned away from her fa- I vourite,, and would never see it again. She I!lt,z entertained i?n idea (hat the animal had vio- ¡ lated -her hospitulity* -by destroying her fa- vourile (lower. Many other instances of re- I filled singularity havt; distinguished this lady among her neighbours. At the Quarter sessions at IJerifonJ, on Ihe 9th iast. came to be heard an appjui, the subject -of which had for some time before caused a more than ordinary degree of interest and atttealion in that.place and the neighbour? hood. The Appellant, who is the Rev, Dr. HOOK, Tiector of t,he parishes of St. Andrew Hertford ami Herlingfordbury, having de- manded o} his parishioners « considerable increase of tithes, to a valuation made by the Rev, T. UKARDLOCK, which tHEv thought proper not to accedo to, had been peared, was much less thau Ihe amount of bis demand for tithes, but twice ;ls much as any former rate. The present assesment, so iar as we could learn, was made upon the amount of composition required in lieu of tithes, added to tlie-average amount of pa- rochial rales (the c.ompos.Uion bavins: been de- manded by the. Hector free of such rates). Against the poor rate, so made, the Uecfor appealed, ft was contended, on the part of appellant,lhat as a lease of the tillu-s had been 0f .1001, although such lease was dated sub- sequently to Ihe rate, the value of the tithes not lo he considered greater than the rent: ant! a-Iso, that the rates should not be added to the rent or to I lie Composition, witSi a view to-ascertain the rateable value, although tbff Hector had been taking or was entitled to takf the liihes it! kind, as his lessee now doev. Iu this opinion, however Ike Bench did not concur, neither would (key admit the tease lS evidence or the u'L!t id" v/e.s shewn, on tL: part of tI¡e p:rih, that the :er;U | s-.ims dce.ntnde-a by the Uerior amounted t<; anoul iv'lF'U, and that the parochial rates 0! 0 as.i-"s»ed. Yh. Court therefore dismissed the "A pneai with costs. fr"s.o.
