The MAGICIIINTSI frigate, with about 40 Eta un der convoy from Jamaica, were well on the 6th Augtal, on the Grand Bank, Newfoundland. An unfortunate accident happened on Wednef day, at Weymouth; as the CAMBRIAN frigate was firing a royal haute, fome fparks of fire flew from the weather guns into the flip, and communicat ing to a cartridge of powder, it blew up with a dreadful explofion ; twelve men were wounded, and were fent to the Hofpital in a moll deplorable condition. Sir H. Naots, of the Somerfet Mili tia, a paffenger on board the frigate, was terribly wounded, and his life is defpaired of. A Stocking ,Iccident happened on Wednefday between one and two o'clock, on board the Am bufcade Dutch 'hip at Sheernefs fitting alonglide the wharf: as part of the crew were employed in getting the main-top over the mail head, one of them was unhappily blown off (it blowing very frefh at the time), and falling on the deck, was °early (lathed to pieces.

DAVID ScotT, Efq. the late Chairman, now be longs to the 3d Clafs, comprehending (hipping, Private Trade, preventinggrowth of Private Trade, and Government Troops and Stores. ' A notice was put up at the Pott Office a few days ago to inform the public, that letters would now be for Warded to Spain through Portugal, the intercourfe between the two countries being now re-eitabli (lied. The human heart, in one hour, beats 3600 times: difcharges 7zoo ounces of blood; conveys through it the whole mars of blood in the body not lets than z 3 timei. In the (pace of twenty four hours the whole blond, in the body circulates 600 times throtigh the heart. The epidemic of the feafon at prefe n t is a boWel complaint, which fhould be attended to in time, as in many cafes it has proved fatal. A doze of the tititfture of rhubarb, taken at the commence. ment of the attack, to be followed by liberal po tions of water gruel; will effeaually relieve and reftore the patient. Medicines compofed of fpices, and all torts of ardent fpirits, fhould be carefully avoided, nor f!iould laudanum be ufed, except in extreme cafes, ar with the advice of the phyfician. About the beginning of tail month, a luminous Meteor was ken pift over the town of Franckfort; which for feveral minutes illuminated the whole town and its environs. and then burft with an explo-1 film as loud as the report Of an ordinary cannon. In the late prefentment it Trim, in the county of Meath, a curious item paned in the uftlal ac- ' counts, viz. 41.13 i. to a perfon for killing Magpies, which it is fuppo fed are confidered as very dellruc tive in that pan of the country. The premium is 4d. a-piece, and the petfon who claims is obliged to produce their heads to entitle him to payment. The claimant in this cafe was a brewing one and an olijbot, and on exhibiting the fkulls of 279 (laugh. tered Nov, it was oppofed againft birth that he had not killed that fPecles of theln which *ere Mott deftruitive, but had got to the nets of thofe birds, and wrung off the heads of the young ones. To dellroyr them any way, however, was confidered a fervice, and the (urn was ordered to be paid. Monday night, between eight and nine o'clock, an accident occafioned one of the molt melancholy and (hocking cataarophes that we have for a long time heard of :—The upper floor of an old houfe on Snow-hill, Birmingham, occupied by a poor man of the name of Pardoe, fuddenly fell, and drove all the floors below into the cellar, burying in its l ruins the wife, five children, and a youth about) 16 years of age. People were immediately em-1 ployed in making an entrance into the cellar from the iireet, by taking up the pavement, and in about an hour and an half got out the woman and youngea child, both ierydangeroufly bruifed; the young man was alto taken out alive; but the four other children, one boy and th-ee girls, were all cruthed to death, and their bodies exhibited the molt mutilated and Mangled fpedacles imagin able.—When the accident was known, every affift ance was immediately given; the Volunteers and Conflables kept good order and the areet clear, and the bell furgical diflance was at hand to hell idle Caterers as Caw as they were liberated. coklf MARKETS. At Mark•lane this morning the (apply wac not very great, but the prices, notwithltanding, on the decline. Of Englint Wheat none at market, and very few famples of fine foreign.

WHITEHAVEK,SETT. 1.-4.JpOn the fame fpot of ground (at Wath, near this town) which laft year produced 75 hooks of oats, the fame farmer this year had. 154 Rooks and 6 (heaves! Something more than a double crop. Such is the forwardnefs of the feafon in Under fkiddow, that fix of the principal landholders cut the Taft of their crops fo early as Wednefday Their prefent harveft, in quality and abundance, has fehlom, if ever, been equalled.

A SINGULAIL CASE.—A liberal minded gentle. man, in a neighbouring county (probably in confe deration of the extreme diftrefs of the poor) has for fome time part been accumulating a vaft quan tity of grain ; which he pojay intended to have full in any particular cafe of nceetfity, contenting himtelf with the moderate profit of 150 per cent. Unhappily however, he had delayed to fulfil iris kflrooknt in tentions, till the grain had acquired fuch a difa greeable, four tafle, that the delicate palates of the inhabitants could not rein it. After taking firm pies of it to feveral (hops in a neigh'uout ing town, and offering it for Pale at a very reduced price, with out finding a pnrchafer, it was at lift lately fited in that receptacle for the poor, the work houfe ! The molt remarkable eircumllance is, that this fame gentleman, who has now fupplied the inhabitants of the poor houte with filch a valuable article, at a very low pries, was always molt flrenu ous in his declamations again) the poor ; alerting that any thing was good enough fur them, as they were never rt...eisfild For What they received. This may be adduced as a proof, that the di/Weibii of a man's start may not always accord with the/rat/- menu he utters. Mr. HEAVISIDE, of Taunton, laft week, gave public notice, that as he found the farmers west Rill unwilling to bring their corn to a flir and open market, at a reafonable price, he would lim ply wheat, as far as in his power, at 9s. per bufhel. At a fair held at the muir in the neighbour hood of Dundee, on Tnefday and Wednefday laft week, the thew of black cattle was uncommonly fmall, and the prices high; the !lodes being of an inferior kind met with a dull file. The pilchard•filheryon the emit of Cornwall has been unufually profperous, and many thoufands of hogfheads have been cured at the different ports. Such immenfe quantities have been inclofed by the fcynes at St. Ives, that they have lain dead in the nets ten feet deep, for want of fait to preferve them, and, of courfe, have been loft. - - We underhand, by Irtters from BulTorah, that in confequence of feveral thonfand perfons having been employed in rep:tiring the wall of that place, which was nearly wafhed away by the overflowing of the waters, the whole is now completed and nrengthened. This wall, which is of conliderable thicknefs, extends from the t fiver towards the great defart. The fort at Befromh has had fcveral ditiorial cannon Mounted on the ramparts. On the 9th of Att,gurl, the villaße of Orvin, near Bienne, in the Department of the Upper Rbinc, was by a fudden conflagration teSuced to antes. It confined of 58 honks. inhabiied by 65 families, making up a total popula:ion of 350 fouls. The lufs in property is Valued at 305,8b0 francs. The:following fingular circumfiance lately took place in the town of Zehanick, which was almott wholly torifunted by a del:rue:live fire. The houfe of one perfon of the name of Lock war adone left untouched; and the manner in which his infant child was preferved is altogether extraordinary : Early in the morning the man, accompanied by hit wife, had gone out to work, and had, accord ing to the cuftom of the place, left the child flaw iup n the houfe. On hearing the firft alarm, the mother, perceiving from the linoke that the town was on fire in a variety of places, hafiencd to her houfe to coiled tome moveables, and to place them beyond the reach of the flames, at the fame time giving inlirtations to her child to remain till her return. Though (he ufed every poffible exer tion to regain her habitation, the fire had made fuch progrefs that it was altogether impallble to approach the place. Next morning the father entered the city, and was furprifed to perceive thal his houfe alone was untouched. Full of impa tience he battened to fearch after his daughter ; but what was his joy may be more eafily conceived than defcribed when he perceived the chid from one of the windows welcoming his approach. He ruffled into the hoeife, took the child affeetionately :n his arms, aid returned thanks to raortazscs for hcr isiptcolota prdervAtios. ; . SPOR77ArG DTTBLL/GttitOt ECHAM RACER,.

The Sport today, confidering tkei was only one Plate run fur, was eery good. Mr. DURAND, walling always to acquire ellimation in the eyes of the Fair, entered his Chcfnut Colt, Sir Sidney, for the Ladies' Plate of Fifty Pounds. The Colt is awry kny ) and covers a deal of ground. which occafioned the odds to be in his favour at flatting. The &if heat they ran very equally till within a mile of the poll, when Sir Sidney made eta play; and though it appeared that Dourrepufhed him hard, yet he won it by a length at leaft. After this heat there was a variety of opinion at the bet ting-Poll; and though Sir Sidney is an acknowledg ed good four-year-old, yet the ceneral cpininn was that Dotterel! would win the too fubfequent heats.
