MARGATE, SEPTEMBER 17 The following melancholy circnmseance Occurred here yesterday, about four o'clock in the afternoons As a Gentleman from London, whose name is Wood . - ycr, and Mr. Webb, the celebrated Irish singer, were about to take an airing before dinner, in the former's gig, on the Birchington-road, the horse, in entering High-street from Cecil-square, made a sudden spring, turned round, and one of the wheels came in contact 'with a post ; the shock snapped the shafts and threw both the Gentlemen out on the pavement with great violence. Mr. Webb was taken up senseless, and carried to Mr. Nlunton's shop. Dr. Waddington was immediately sent for, who , bled him and he was put to bed, dreadfully bruised,. particulluly on the tight hip, elbow, and knee-pan. Mr. Woodyer lbrtunately escaped with less injury. The horse finding himself disengaged, ran furiously down High-street with the parts of the shafts. When near the Post Office, a poor woman with a child in her arms was struck on the head by one of the broken shafts, knocked down, and died almost instantly : the child escaped unhurt. The animal then pursued his course, when coming to the railway near the York Hotel, he leaped over, and also over the railing at the bottom of the Parade. Ile then directed his course up to the Market, and into an entry, where lie was secured. A boy was also knocked down, but only received a slight wound 'on the head. The )ody of the poor woman now lies at the Workhouse, until the Coroner's Jury sit to morrow. A liberal subscription has been entered into for the husband and her nine children, thus de prived of their mother. Mr. Webb had only finished his engawment, and taken his benefit at the Theatre the evening before. Not the slightest blame attaches to the Gentleman that drove. _ Last night a collier brig broke from her moorings, and running against Garner's Library, carried away part of the balcony nest to the water, and did some damage to the bathiag-rooms. BRIGHTON, SEPTEMBER 18. EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.-At the Bench of Magistrates at the Town Hall, yesterday, a Gentle-, man, evidently labouring under mental derangement, preferred an incoherent complaint against several of our tavern-keepers. This Gentleman, it seems, was landed from a West Indiaman by one of our fishing boats, about a week since, first putting up at the Old Ship, then at the Royal Hotel, then at the Castle, behaving in an extraordinary manner at each place, and with but little cash in his purse to answer the debts contracted. But the underwritten letter, sent from him to J. H. BATES, Esq. one of our local Ma gistrates, some days since, and which was exhibited at the Bench today, will at once spew the disordered state of his intellects: " TO 'JUT 11.101STIATTIN OT DRIGIFITOW. " Imthesameofbk Emperor . 2 f the Irst! The events which have occurred at this place will, I fear, prevent my sliming the Treaty of Peace for which I was qais sifted to this county. I shall here await the commands wlticit his Majesty's Minister* may make to you when•you have.rt:- ported the above, and then consider how far my rower will en ahl me to act, without communicating with the Government of which 1 have the honour to be Charge d'Affaires. (Signed) " li. I'. lIOLBECKF u Castle Hotel, Sept. 13, tele." His behaviour before the Bench corresponded with the contents of this letter, the attentive -and.-gentle treatment purposely adopted towards hitt indtuing . him to be suitably communicative. Ile was dres sed in a loose kind of plaid great coat, one sleeve of a blue coat beneath it on the right arm only, white leather pantaloons and slippers, a belt or sash of scarlet cloth round iniddle, white waistcoat, black stock, and a sixpence dangling from his neck by a white t ibbon, which went through a hole in it, completed his costume. lie had the appearance of a gentleman, notwithstanding, and though thin in person, seemed to -enjoy good health. The sus pended sixpence, he said, he wore, in consequence of its bearing his Majesty's likeness; it was a sym bol of loyalty towards his person and Government, and was quite as forcibly expressed on silver as it was on gold, and much less difficult to keep.— The innkeepers, against whom he had preferred a complaint, he said, had much to answer for—they bad stayed him on his important mission, and war with the Power he served must follow. He wished, notwithstanding, to see Lord SIDIOUTII and Lord BATHURST, though the die was cast, and he should enter into no negociation for peace, for which he was invested with full powers to treat. The Public would have the Innkeepers of Brighton to thank for this, the Master of the Castle in particular, who had deeds in his hands belonging to him, commanding a pro-, perty cf tea thousand pounds. and yet he had refused to give him credit to the amount of seven sllillings He was at length permitted to depart, but not before, Mr. Serjeant RUNNINOTON had been sent for, to assist the other Magistrates, Messrs. BATES and Hoe-, KISS, in pursuing such measures as werciegal. the arrival of the Serjeant, the case was made known, and a warrant issued to take the unfortunate man into custody, a Gentleman having previously made affidavit, from circumstances with which he was ac quainted, that it would be dangerous to let hint-con tinue at large. It appeared that he is a Pructor in Doctors Commons, that he is of good family and most respectable connexions, and who were unac quainted, perhaps, with his condition here, or even of his return from the West Indies, for which place be left England in October last. He is to be detained in custody until his friends have been apprised of his distressing situation. There are now living, within seven miles of Ash ford, where they have resided within a quarter of a mite of each other during the whole of their lives, four brothers, whose united ars amount to 921 years. They arc healthy and hearty in constitution, but some are afflicted with rheumatism. _ . The facetious SYDNEY Smirit is reported to have described thus .i clergyman he met at dinner:—" Sir, he was a wonder! lle had a six-parson power of sto mach, and betwixt the courses he had some Ircid intervals." IMPROVEMENTS IN BREED.---A Dandy, who had been amusing himself and his company at a watering place, by a display of his various excellencies, was accosted by a grave old gentleman, who remarked, that he remem b ered his father, who was a good sor t of a man, but a plain Bookseller!—" It might be so," said the Da:idy, "but Lhave quite forgotten Min : my irieuts call me—tire Ekgant Extract !"

Jones) was tried in the Somer set County Court at Ilehester, on the 2d instant, in which the plaintiff recovered damages and costs of the defendant, for imnniderairly riding a horse, which he borrowed of the plaintiff. CRICK Er.—The m.uch, played a few days ago at Nottingham, was attended by very peculiar 'circum . stances. The match, it seems, was made at Lorin's, on the part of the Nottingham Club. The sum to be played for was one hundred and fifty pounds a side, and not ene thousand pounds, as stated in the Newspapers. Arnoag the conditions it was stipu lated, that the Nottingham Club should allow the .111 England Players forty pounds towards de fraying their expenses of going to Nottingham.— Agreeably to tl:i, condition, the London players went there in full ey : ;ectation of meeting Mr. ()in..% LDE sTJ Z: I:. and that he would stake the money agreed to be played fez-. Mr. UNBALDEbT , /NE, however, did not appear. Under these singular circumstances, and to prevent tl.e people who had assembled from all parts of the midland counties being disappointed, it was aweed to p:ay for twenty-five pounds a-side. The match accordingly commenced for fifty pounds; in the coarse of which, one of the London players, on the part of himself and friends, represented to the Nottingham Club, that the twenty five pounds was a serious vim for them, and requested to with draw the stakes, and that the games might be played for honour. This proposition was - acceded to. After the conclusion of the match, the Gentlemen of the Nottingham Club, handsomely presented the professio nal players from town with 4:30, to bear their expenses back again to London. It was computed that upwards of 20,000 spectators were on the ground. A lamentable circumstance occurred at Hazle mere, in Surrey, a few days ago. Mr. BRYANT, a respectable farmer, residing at that place, went out shooting, accompanied by his son, a lad about ten years of age.• Having occasion to pass through a gate, he sent the boy forward to open it, whilst he beat about some furze bushes for game at a few yards distance with the but end of the gun ; unhappily the piece went off, and the muzzle being pointed towards the lad, the contents lodged in his body. The poor little sufferer languished a few hours, and expired. Thursday morning, a waggon-load of wheat, the property of Mr. Biggs, of Babworth, near Rezford, in INottinghamshire, was overturned coming to Bet ford, by which accident the driver. T..lone. was un fortunately killed ; leaving a wile and tour Lhillen.

Mrs. c: KEMBLE performed the part of Miss Stediag,and imparted so much spirit to the character, as proved that in her absence from the stage she has lost none of her attractions or claims to public favour. Mr. ABBOTT'S Sir Jam Sterling was highly-respectib!t, Mr. FAWCETT'S ,Steding was a fair blunt portrsit, or as SILEBIDAN more eegantly expresses it, 48 ti'very formidable likeness." Mr. C. Ktunters Letettei.l •A a good performance, bet we cannot say the same of his pantaloons: it is a pity he does not see the pro priety of dressing to more advantage. Mr. Jones was very amusing in the drunken scene, as Brush. Mr. Farmer's Canton was at least broad enough: DAVENPORT, as 'Mrs; Heidelberg, afforded, as usual, great entertainment; and Miss Brwsrow, by her talents as well as persipal charms, was a faithnl represent ati ve of the interesting Fanny. On the whole; the play was strongly cast, nod its announcement for repetition on Mond ty evening was received with the loudest approbation The farte of the Wee,6 Walker concluded the entertainments of the evening, to the utmost gratification of the audience. Mr. .1. RUSSELL, from the Haymarket Theatre, performed the part of SOMI2O in a most admirable style, end was rapturously applauded in all his effotts. He will rot fail to prove. a valuable acquisition to the comic de . - partment of this Theatre. The Ifnuse was ;very full. ENGLIsII 01.F.RA, LYCEUM.—Last night the petite Opera of the Doan/jug House was performed ; the bustling, busy Peter fidget, was admirably presented by Mr. HARLEY. The Ihirletta of Midas followed'. In the concluding Farce or Amateurs and Actors, HARLEY's imitation:, of MATTHEWs were received with enthusiastic applause: The Musical Festival at Rochester, under the C. rectum of Mr. C. J. A ...rt.r.v, afforded a gr-eat treat td the lovers of harmony. The Oratorio of the Mes. , ia4 was performed in the chinch on Tuesday, the Bth instant, in a style of complete excellence. A Ronneu 8110 T.—Thursday night, after the fa= mily of a Gentleman, who lives in the thanlion crest.; pied by the late Dr. Holt, in East-lane, Walworth, had retiied to rest, a gang of thieves eneervoured to break ii to the back part of the horse. Taey effected an entrance into the gardens 'and grounds by retthig over a high wall, and *mild nb doubt have saaeeded in their object, had •not one -of the gang trod upda the wire of a spring-gun set in the reminds, the con tents of which lodged in some part of his body. Tht family were alarmed by the re Fort of the gun, and got up immediately ; they found a quantity cf blood on the ground near the wire, and traces of spots of blood to the wall, over which it is supposed his corn+ panions helped the wounded man, and rarrlA him off it is supposed the thief was dangerowly wounded. An inquisition was taken yesterday at St. Willies lornew'i Hospital, upon the body of Mr. James Cies menu, of Dulwich.--The deceased was in Smithfie d Market on Tuesday, when a horse, which . was har nessed in a cart, belonging to a sliopkcefer in Sn.ith field, took fright, and set off on a ailop, the C.c_ eased attempted to stop the horse lsy seizing the reii s, when his feet slipped ; he fell under the horse, and the ewe passing over his body he was dreadfully injtred : he was carried to the Hospital, where he expiree 4 :—T? e ,Jury returned a Verdict—Accidentally killed by the wheeli of a cart passing over his body. Thursday night, a Coroner's Inquest was held at the Thatched llouse, New Exchange -court, Strand, on the body of Mr. JOSHUA CRANK, painter and gla zier. It appeal e 1 that on Saturday night last the de ceased left his home, in Exchange -court, about half past eight, in perfect health. About nine, he was seen at the corner of Turnstile, Holborn, in a strong Iconvulsive fit. After h e . had recovered a little, he was taken to a watch-house on Saffron-hill, and was put in the usual pl ice of security. On his way to the watch-house, he fell several tones backwards, and it was supposed that a vessel in the head was ruptured. The deceased's wife hearing of his con finement, went to the watch house, and war informed that he was intoxicated ; she told the watchmen that Ihe never took liquor to excess, - and must be unwell. After sonic time the deceased was brought forward ; he was quite insensible ; about fi ve **clock on Sun day morning his wife procured a coach, and the de ceased was conveyed home, and medical assistance . procured, but he in a short time after expired. Mn. Crane informed the Jury that the deceased's clothes were wet thrtaigh when she found him in the dark room, and site was informed that being thought to be an impcstor, a bucket of water was thrown ovcr him, to bring him to his senses.—The Jury returned a verdict, " Died by the visitation of Gott.' • Saturday, James Johnston, servant with Andrew M , Luckie, carter, of Glasgc , .v, died, it is supposed, in consequence of violence he !IA received on Friday, having been at Paisley with a load of grain.
