SMOCKING ACCIDINT.—Mrs. West, wife of a ser jettit in the Guards, was found burnt to death in her kitchen, at Westminster, on Saturday night. She had been left in her apartment up stairs in the- evening, and it is supposed she had fallen asleep by. the,Aitehen fire, and thus met the melancholy catastropins. She was quite dead when found, and the body presented a shocking spectacle.—On the same evening a female dropped down in a fit, at a wine vaults in Poland. street, and died, after remaining senseless several hours. A Coroner's Jury sat on Monday, on the body •f Mrs. West, and a verdict of Accidental Death was delivered. It was given in evidence that the de= ceased was addicted to oinking, and it was con cluded she was in that Atte when the melancholly catastrophe occurred. EXTRAORDINARY POWER OF IMAGINATION.--• " During our stay at the Dardanelles we lived in the house of the Neapolitan Cpnsul. This respect. able old man put in force a stratagem which may : serve to show the extraordinary power of imagine- - ! tion over the diseases of the body. Being troubled : with an intermitting feier, brought on during our excursion in Trois, I had been observed by him to go frequently 'to a cloak in the anti-chamber of our apartment, watching for the hour when the paroxysm began. This used to "Occur exactly at noon. One morning he put back the cloak a full hour.

In a new periodical work, which has been cons- menced iu Edinburgh, under the title of " The Scot.' 144 Review," it gives 'us much pleasure to meet with the.following warm and eloquent testimony to the ' merit of this distinguished individuatin public life. 44 Imperfect as is the review which the materials before us have enabled us to tale of Mr. Tooke's public conduct, it exhibits a character in which every lover of his country and literatdre will tied many admirable features. Perhaps in. no ago or country I has any individual raised himself,. by the mere force of intellect and'personal talents, without adventitioui circumstances, to such very eminent distinction. His course was not chalked out by any former political character ; he followed the undeviating path of pa triotism, and trusted to the light of his own under standing for guidance and direction. Ile stood erect , .in a declining age ; and, amid much corruption in the Government, and much thirst of innovation among the people, he adhered to a system of opposition to Administration,withoJt foregoing his integrity, or re signing himself to popular delusion. Ilis efforts in behalf of that branch of the liberty of the press, by which the public opinion was brought fully to bear on the deliberations of the national councils, alone entitle him to rank high among the patriots of mo dern times. The two Houses of Parliament, if they properly reflected os the advantages they have de- j rived from this influence, the blunders and disgraces which it has prevented, and the comparative recti- ; tilde of proceeding into which it has guided them, — should erect a monument to his memory. But Fame has taken the debt of giatitude out of their hands ; and while the select of the nation are shedding cro codile tears over departed venality, and decreeing sculptured bonours to the despoilers of provinces, the nation itself has accepted into the treasure of its best affections the memory of a patriot, to whom it is indebted for its firmest stronghold against the in roads of corruption and oppression. 46 We have not forgotten that that notable cry of moderation, which certain lukewarm advocates of popular right are always ready to• employ as an ex cuse for indolence or neglect, was raised with some vehemence against the individual whose character is now before us. But we are confident that no impar tial man will consider the fame of Mr. Tooke as blighted by the pertinacity of his conduct in any one of the public measures in which he was engaged, if he keep in mind the importance of a spirited expres sion of opinion on all occasions, and take into view the particular inducements and hopes which ani mated the breast of Mr. Tooke. .Nothing, we are verily persuaded, can be more injurious to the in terests of truth and of mankind, than the timidity which dissuades from the avowal of opinion on subjects which concern the general welfare. It is because few have the hardihood to oppose where the sentiments of the higher orders, the views of Government, or the voice of the multitude, are against them, that we witness so much haughtiness and tyranny in the great, such a spirit of encroach ment in those who rule, and so ungovernable a frenzy I in the people, when uncurbed,by virtue, undirected by reason, and restrained by no considerations of pru dence. Mr. Tooke was one of those power-braving few; and when we hear a man of such characteristic temperance and uprightness of principle accused of wanton severity in his opposition, our conclusion is, —not that his censures were unjust,—but that the deeds and persons he censured were of so depraved a character, and the chance of amendment so despe i rate, that his reprobation partook more of the vin dictiveness of as honest indignation, than of the persuasive calmness which arises from a hope of re `formation." On Saturday se'nuight, the machinery in Mr. Walker's mill. at Mirfield, Yorkshire, was entirely destroyed, by fire. Monday evening a gentleman, who was sending his son off by the Norwich mail, at the Swan with Two Necks, Lad-lane, was hustled by a gang of robbers, near the gate of the inn yard, and robbed of his pocket book, containing bank notes to the amount of 301. with which the robbers got clear off. Sunday night, three foreigners, seafaring men, in company together at the City Arms public-house, situate near the Poplar Canal, having, by mistake, gone out at the back door instead of the front. were all three suddenly Plunged into the water. One of them keeping himself afloat by holding by the keel of a barge, continued to call out, when, assistance be ing procured, two of them were got out, but with scarce any sympti..ms of life remaining. A servant girl was dispatched for a surgeon, but who, from the girl unfortunately not stating that they were drown ed, arrived without the necessary apparatus. One only was restored to life. The body of the third has not yet been found. Isubclla Aitwood, a strolling preacher, has been committed to Wakefield House of Correction for one year, as a lewd and disorderly woman, having been delivered of a bastard child. Catmint, Dec. 26.—Ronezeics.--Saturday night, about eight o'clock, as Mr. Hudson Scott, of ' Caldbeck, was returning from Carlisle market, he was stopped and robbed by three footpads, on Hawksdale Pasture.—,As Mr. Irwin, of Newhouses, Salport, in company with Mr. Tioniswood, were re turning home from Brampton market, on Tuesday' evening last, between six and seven o'clock, they. were attacked by four footpads, between Brampton _and I rthing-bridge, who robbed the former of Bank.; notes to the amount of 181. with which the villains made their escape.—Monday night, about six o'clock, as Mr. Raper, of Bothwell, was returning 1 from Wigton, be was stopped near Red Dial, by four villains, who robbed him of eight guinea notes, and a parcel , of osloth.—.Tuesday morning, a poor man was robbed of 101. on the road betwixt Penrith and • Appleby, by two withtins, who inflicted such wounds upon his person, Vitt in consequence he is since dead.—Wednesday night last, the weaving shop of John Robinson, of Cu mwhinton, was broken •ppd two webs cut In the looms, which were thketiilWay itlabg with the cloth-beams. .04 Sitprday seboolght, one of the prisoners in the depot at Perth, slopped down dead , without bun% itrsonsly made any complaint, This is the seeeod iastlte l iii of' i death equally sudden, since the period of their arrival.

They thankfully • 'incepted her off, t , and were conducted to the house in question wk i ; they were put to possession of the parlour, she her. self occupying the garret. When snugly lodged i n his hammock, the old seaman gave the Prisoner . tf !re s shillings for the trouble she had taken, and with hi s wife prepared himself for repose. The landlord of the house coming in some lime afterwards, and ti„,!, ing that his parlour was oc cu pi e d f or t h e night, (lid, as was his practice with st rangers , to prevent Ihcir quitting at ton early a n h oer , namely, locked them in, and took the key to hi s own apartment. Shortly after the Prisoner came down from hr.r garret, and asked for the key of the l'rosecutor's room, on pretence that she wns going to take the old people some gin, to cheer them. The key was accordingly given to her, and she went into the loom where the Prosecutor and his wife were reposing, and, leaning over the• Prosecutor, drew the sma ll- c l othes ft ," under his head. His wife gave the alarm, when the' Prisoner seized a bundle, which contained Mrs. !tot. nelly's wardrobe, and from which, in her haste. ,h e dropt a shoe, and escaped into the street. however, she was met by Goff, who was pill; rounds, and who insisted on examining her handl , : and as she gave but a lame account of the manne r is which she came by the• things, he took her to the watch-house ; and soon after learning that Donnelly had been robbed, he next morning took her hefora the Sitting Magistrates. The Pzisoner was committed for trial at the Assizes. sso, O tbieT u rff rs :a nis e t. isti c id . :l - , 1 : 1 s ii ii , t:r " Z i s aiY m N a aT n E , "!

The visitor find!! g eniptiry that his case was really distressing, gave him 41. end promised that some permanent aid should he afforded. He at tributed the interfcreree of the stranger to benevolence, lon tie snonmfter discovered that he had been considered by the Pgrith Officers as a pauper. The loaf of bread and the 4s. was is their estimation parochial relief, and by receiving the same be had, according to their representation, made himself, his Windt. 1 nate wife, and his children, liable to be paw,' with all the pa rish forms as paupers to their place of settlement. He then served, that he mad long been of independent mind; he had rung supported his family by his labi.ar, and having new re ceived the least assistance from any parish, he coald not support *be idea of being removed as n pauper. the fact was; he Dryer had applied as a pauper fist' parish relief; he hod taken the loaf as a gift springing from the bequest of some charitable person, and w hen the 4s. was given he did nut know that he was taking it from a Churchwarden. Under all the circumstance', he cos t :Weed the relief he bad received as a trick to remove him, nr der the idea that hemight hereafter become kidded to relief in the prirish.
