WoNDERFEL EscAer..—On Monday afternoon as Mr. New ton, of Stoke, was.comin7 into Bath, in a one-horse chaise, his horse took fright, near the turnpike on the lower Bristol road, and leaping at the gate, in a most surprising manner cleared it, and dragged the carriage after without overturning it or throw ing nut his driver. who stopped his progress by overthrowing the gig against a heap of stones, lying at a short distance in the road. Mr. Newton was only slightly bruised upon the arm; but the turnpikeman received a severe contusion on his temple and remains extremely ill. Tuesday afternoon as Mr. Luther, son of a merchant residing in King's-road, Chelsea, was riding along Gloucester-place, New-road, he met a groom riding at a brisk rate With a led horse, and Mr. L. not keeping at a proper distance, the led horse threw out both his. feet, and having struck him, broke his thigh in a shocking manner, so that it must undergo imme diate amputation. On Sunday morning, a poor woman, the wife of one or the privates in the Life Guards, threw herself into the Serpentine River. A blacksmith, who was on the spot, plunged after her. In the struggle she kept him so long under wafter, that when brought out, by the assistance of others, they were both taken to St; George's Workhouse, where the man, it is feared will not survive.

Mr. Holeroft's has been a life of literary labour. He possessed great natural en dowments, and a most burning desire of-knowledge. He owed all his attainments to his own thirst of information, and over came every impediment that suppressed the ardour of his mind. Forseveral years he was a Comedian of eminence in several re spectable Provincial Companies, and came to London in the year MS. From that time till the day of his last illness, he has been indefatigably engaged in almost every department of literature. Ile acquired by his own assiduity, such a knowledge of the languages, as to enable him to translate freely from the French, Italian, *and German; and his Dramatic Pieces, a 'well as Novels, entitle him to no ordinary praise as a fruitful and able writer. We lament to say, that he has left an amiable wife and six children, the oldest of whom is only nine years, totally unprovided for. lie has also left two daughters by his first marriage.
