On their re return, and within 'o yards of the shore, the boat was upset among the breakers, when all went down. Two of them were instantaireously, as it it were, washed to the land, and were thus delivered from their perilous situation, without sustaining any injury whatever. The body of the other, whose name was Morgan, and that of a young mats named Cosens, belonging to the parish of Dysart, were not found till a considerable time after wards, as to render every attempt to restore anima tion forts ctual. The scene that ensu. don shore was mast afflicting. Matt and women were running here and Mere, some among the surges . and others among the rocks, all sMicnotia to do something, whilst they had not in their power the means of doing any thing effectual to save the lives of their fellow-creatures, who were connected with them by the tenderest of tics.— The case of the young man Cowin is particular.

Daring liottcry.—Oit Friday night at a very late hour, the cottage of Mr. Pritchard, a builder, residing in Nur sery-row, near Lark-hall, on the Watotsworth-road, was entered into by thieves, who after procuring a light, broke specs the drawers, and carried off the whole of Mr. amid Mrs. Pritchard's wearing apparel of every description, a gristmill of silver plate, desert, and teaspoons, &c. of considerable value. The robbers regaled themselves with a bottle of real Hodges, which had been left in the parlour, and afterwards escaped with the stolen pro perty. It is supposed they entered by climbing over the garden wall. During the time they were in the house, none of the family heard them. On Friday last au occurrence took place at the house eZ a gentleman named Jones, who moles at Walworth, witaat would probably have proved fatal, had not the servant-maid acted with great presence of mind. Mr. Jones's children were playing in one of the upper-rooms. —The eldest sun, a boy about ten years of age, ran into another room and brought from thence a gun, which had been left there for SWIM time, and was, without the knowledge of any one in the house, loaded. He pollard tie tun at his brothers and sisters, who were playing in a group in a corner of the room, and was its the act of pulling the trigger, when a servant girl, who became tin a sudden apprehensive of danger, seized a blanket, and threw it against the muzzle of the gun. The piece went off, but the aim of the boy was fortunately named away by the blanket, and no tniachief took place, except what was caused through the house by the terror which tile report occasioned. The bullet passed through the blanket, and lodged in the ticking of a bed. Daring Robbery.—On Tuesday night Mr. J. Phillis, of York-ssireet, South Lambeth, returning to his resi dence from Camberwell, by the the fields adjoining - Brixton, was stopped by a very tall stout man, wilt) said —"Sir, don't be uneasy ; I want a few shillings front you," accompanyisig his words -sroducina which he clapped close to the gr was so alarmed that he suffered of all they contained, with wine deliberately off, swearing if Mr. I alarm, he would blow out his brio There are at this time in Falb; its blostom, a circumstance, at thi very rare occurrence.

Seven), King, and Co. were em ployed at their evensive sugar refinery, Church-lane, Whitechapel, in craning up sugars into their lofts, when one of the hogsheads had arrived at the highest tier, it suddenly cause down with a tremendous crash ; and al though a number of persons were about the yard at the time, fortunately no one was hurt. The accident arose from the breaking of the chute of the hogshead, and, of course, the can-hooks had no longer any hold. In the forenoon of Monday se'nnight, two females, named Maria Rolesion awl Martha Crispin, the former about 28, and the latter 12 years, set out from Christow to go to Chudleigh, Devonshire. In their way they had to cross a wooden bridge over the 'reign; but the railing of the bridge having, been washed assay by the lame flood, they lost their foottsii , , and were both carried down the stseasn, and dross iteir. It appeared on the inquest, from the evidence of a carpenter who was employed to repair the bridge, that he had left the spot about ten minutes to procure poles, and on his return found a basket and umbrella on the Chselleigh side of the river, near his owl-bag, hot had not seen any one deposit them: front this circumstance it should seem Bin one of the unfor tunate snlkrers had crossed the bridge in safety, and had returned to help her companion. Toe melancholy event was not known to their friends until Tuesday afternoon, when immediate search was made, and the body of M. Crispin was found in the river about two miles below the place where she fell in : the other was not found on Thursday morning, though every practicable means had been exerted for that purpose. A melancholy occurrence took place at one of the coal pits belonging to Sir George Beaumont, Bin. of Coleorton, Leieesis.rshire, of Thursday last. A collier, named S. Prue:. has ing had Isis arm 'sowed by au acci dental blow irons a fellow workman was ascending to get it dressed, when, arriving near the top of the pit, some of the tackle gave way, and the poor fellow was dashed to the bottom, and died soon after, leaving a wife and five children to lament their irreparable loss. A melancholy accident occurred 111 the neighbourhood of Blandford on Friday afternoon, the Ygth of December. As the carriage of C. M. Pleydell, Esq of W hatcombe house, was proceediug with four ladies into Blandford, the spring of the coach-broke, about a mile fram town, by which the coachman and lady's-maid were thrown from their seats. The horses took fright, arid ran with great velocity towards Blandford, where, at the entrance of St. Mary's, they were attempted to be stopped by Geo. Knight, a faithful servant in the vairloy of Mr. C potter, who was riding by at the time, whets, shocking to lelate, he and Isis pony were knocked down bi the horses, and trampled on, the carriage passing over 'him : he was conveyed to the nearest house, • and the most psonspt medical assistance was administered, but without effect, as he expire lin about two hours after. We are happy to state Mat the ladies escaped unhurt, but the coachman and maid -servant, who were thrown from the box, were seriously bruised, but now are its a fair way of recovery. Knight was )much respected by all who knew him. ... evening Sli .. as a gentleman was walking near "Turnstile, liolhorn, he passed near a crowd of persons, Litany of whom were attracted by several thieves and women, apparently looking at some extraordinary sight near the moon, and pointing upward ; though there was nothing remarkable whatever to be seen. When he reacneo the crowd, he felt a fellow snatch at his watch chain, which broke, but the thief carried off put of the chain and a gold seal, on which were engraved the let ters C. I. The fellows with two others ran off and eluded their pursuers. Gangs in Holborn, Fleet-street, &c. every night attract crowds in the saute wanner, to rob the unwary passengers. • • About five o'clock on 'ruesday morning, as the South ampton mail was coming over the temporary bridge, which was erected after the blowing up of Crooked Billet bridge, by the late flood, one of the wheel horses chocked, and thrust against the other, which ran the wiled of the coach against the side rail; the coachman pulled up, and whilst the guard was its the act of easing the liorte's collar, the bridge gave way under the wheel, in consequence of the ground having been washed away beneath it, and precipitated the coach into the water, but as the fill slid not exceed four feet, the horses were nut draceed with it. Happily, there were neither inside nor outside passengers, and the only injury sostaincd was by the coachman, who accompanied the coach into the water, and got a complete ducking. The guard 'mimed a post•chaihe and four horses, and proceeded to town with the wail bags as soon as they could be got out of the water. The coachman, with the coach and horses, arrived by I I o'clock, at the Bell and Crown, Holborn. J AND J.
