`. ~ 312 SHOCKINOACCIDENT---EXIOW from a private let ter dated Boulogne, Fahlay, Sept. 20 As the Dositer;post o.lire steam -boat, from Dover, was near the peal, the unfortua nate engineer was caught in some of the steam apparatus, and tame isto the harbour with his arm dreadfully shattered, sod and his Irg mist:wily turn, lying on the derh. Soon after seeing Vita unpleasant sight, and passing through a creel in the upper Dame( Ate lower town, I saw • crowd, and asking the a French woman told me that the English Countess was rode os CT aad killed. In a slate of horrid anxiety I immediately went t her louse, Rue de %Idlest!, where I saw, breathing her last, I.le beautiful daughter of my very old 111141 partici: ar friend, Mrs. Charles Lock, the daughter of the DuSiess of Leinster by the second husband, Mr. Oiils ie. his eldest daughter married a toreigu Count of the name of %lay, and bad just recovered tea u her acconultesuent. Arctic was riding out yesterday for 1.,e host time on her donkey (boedet as they call it here,) sod coming down the hill towar.:s her own house, with her mother walking at her sid, , and her sioer, Mrs. Murray Gresill•, in co.npany, a cart csine down tiom the top of the street, the horse running away with it at full opted, ran over and killed on the spot tie boy in Attendance, and ran over. the Countess de Vilty, and her &owlet, the wheel passing over the lower part of her body. isi an almost lifeless state she was brought inte her house close toy, where I saw the melancholy scene attoremeutioned—her loisband tramic leaning over her almost inanimate body. By farce lie was torn away, to give the surgeons liberty to els smite the hurt : but, ides! to no purpose, she had breathed her Ist at the moment of separation from her husband. 'Mrs. Gre• v•Gc had it narrow escape, the wheel scraping bar arm, and Mrs. C. bock was thrown in the confusion. ,I shall nut attempt to describe the confusion, but God grant. that I may wit netts such a scene again." .Ott Saturday Just, the execution of Brierley. for highway rubbery, teat place on the drop, in front of the House cf Correction. Chester. About half pest twelve o'clock it was communicatedla the prisoner that the Sherifs were in attendance in order to sce the last melancholy duty of their o nce perfumed. Tim eateationer proceeded to pinion hint, whilst Mr. Chester.. the gaoler, fastened to his legs a heavy pair of irons, for the tetrpow of ser.elerAting Ids <leads, Brierley being but a short man. iers being done, the hangman expressed to him a hope tar for peerless. Aye, aye, (replied the poor man, in a tone of voice which inferred that the request was unnecessary) forgive you, eye; I forgive every body in this world." The Ordinary gave him same pious exhortations and advice. " Oh, 1 thank (Sod ! Cie exchtiliml) I am quite conifortuble ; Christ has made good his word with we. I turgive every one, and I know Christ has forgiven me. In a few moments I shall be in his pretence in lizaven. Blessed be hit name! ' He was then conducted up the ep• of the platform, the hangman having made the necessary lim i est:Lions. lie mounted with a firm step. When tied up, he turned round, and dew down a handkerchief which lie had in his hand. 'fire executioner then pulled the cap over his face, descended the step., and it 1111 l ediately drew the bolt which sup ports the leaves of the drop, and the -wretched convict was laranc'ted into the world of spirits. His body was much convulsed for about a minute and a half after being turned GC when all motion ceased tiff at least India minute. Convulsive struggles again ensued—the hands were closely p ripped—the chest hi awed several times. and the knees were bent upwards. In lase than three minute* all ett toggling .had ceased. lie had spent a most abandoned life fur several years. By trade he was a dyer, and was employed in a very re-pixtable concern in Manchester. lie was 3S years old this year. IUoLATRY IN INDIA.-s•- • rhe free Press of Cal cutta has operated most powerfully in ramming the most inveterate and revolting abuser. The effact of seven native pressers at work in that great city has been to triumph over thin . itoo superstition in its strong hold. During, the last festival of dagernaut the-c were SO few pilgrims ,present that they were tillable to drag the car. The Brahmins called in talter.rad. but no &Tate c.erld be persuaded to sacrifice himself to the idol. They now talk of L.:moving the Bath to a more central situation. The wily prieialitiod have sagacity enough to perceive that they must remove the theatre of their sanguinary superstition beyond the sphere of a tree press, or that the bijoury of thirty centuries wail disappear. To the pemianent glory of our Indian Adini itiatrution, a largeportion of the population of Bengal are receiv ing the rudiments of an improVed system of education, while thettsands of elementary works are circulating throughout the empire. Even Hindus) women, against whom widowhood, and subsequent burnaig alive, arc denounced fur learning the alpha bet, alai who must nut rend the Veda under pain of death, have placed their (I:anginas at the public scholis. The celebrated !Linker rtfinmer. Item Makin Boy, has held public (monthly meetings at Calrutta„for tits purpose of freely discussing the tenni of his religion, and exposing the cruelties practised .er it. uuoAl. LeiNCIIOLY ACCIDENT.--311 Monday a shock ing took place in the Broadway, Westminster, the sea eimeequeuce of which is, that a married female, six months advanced in pregnancy, and an interesting young woman, the I 1;;Iner of a respertahle *tradesman in the neighbourhood, w. re killed.

CAUTION TO PERFUMERS AND MEDICINE VENDERS. --- APRINCE, the Original Proprietor of the . RUSSIA OIL, is constantly receiving information that Impostors are travelling the country with counterfeit RUSSIA OIL, and, to deceive Shopkeepers and others, have made the covers of their counterfeits exactly like Palace's; and even printed on the covers. •• Prince's Russia Oil;" and copy Mr. Prince's Affidavit, made before the Lord Mayor of Loudon, and to deceive Perfiunets. Medicine Venders. and others, in the country. say they are Partners ur Travellers of Mr. Prince : he begs to caution Perfumers and Medicine Venders against pur chasing Russia Oil from the impostor who travels the °ninny. Mr. Prince having neither Partner nor Traveller, recommends Perfume s, Medicine Venders. and others in the country, to have die Russia Oil front a respectable Wholesale Perfumer or Me dicine Vender whom they deal with in London. they will be certain of not being deceived, as the principal Wholesale Per fumers and Medicine Venders in London are Agents for selling PliINCK's celebrated IWSSIA OIL. Shopkeepers ought to be particularly on their guard, not to buy counterfeit Russia Oil, as Mr. Prince has had die opinion of Caunsrl. who informs him that if any one sells Russia Oil. with '. Prince" on the wrapper. that is not Prince's, subject them selves to an Injunction IN the Court of Chancery, the Mule as NAM granted to DAY AND MARTIN. In short. PRINCE'. CELEBRATED RUSSIA OIL is so improved with an extra valuable ingredient. through which it has made the RUSSIA OIL the greatest nourishes and ! preserver to the Hair. in the Universe, will make it grow thick 1 and long, and prevent its falling oft' or ever turning . grey ; and is such a nouri.sher to the roots of the Hair, that it a even has begun to turn (grey, it will restore it again to its natural colour, `and if used °Len, it will never turn grey again, and is sure to clear the scurf. trout infancy to old age, and will always keep the head and Hair elm: and beautiful. Gen:lnnen who have lost their flair, and li..ve the least sign of roots of Hair remaining, by using regularly for a few months PRINCE's IMPROVED RUSSIA OIL, with the extra valuable ingredient, will be sure to restore it, and produce a line Head of Hair, which hundreds i have experienced. Even Ale:heal Gendemcn have published, in the Gazette of Health. that Princes Russia Oil is superior to any Oil for the hair, and will do, in eaves of baldnes: or weak hair, what can possibly be done.—Ladies will find Prince's Russia Oil preferable to any other Od fur dressing their own, or false hair, as it gives it • natural gloss, sof.ens and curls it. Gentlemen wearing powder ought to use it instead of poniatum ; it pruenotes Eye brows, Whiskers. ac. and through the extra ingredient it will now always keep pleasant, even in all climates. Proved by affidavit. the ach of November, 1814, before the Lord Mayor of London. that A. Palace is the Original Propri etor in the Universe of the Huila& (nil; and therefore if any 1 Perfumer, Medicine Vender.
