STIRLING, APRIL 20. This day the provincial Synod of Perth and Stirling met. and after the sermon the Reverend C. Craig, of St. Ninian's, was chosen Moderator. After some routine business it was unanimously agreed that an overture be transmitted to the General Assembly, m tehalf of the members of the Church of Sentiand resident in the M'est Indies, during the arrangements to be mode by his Majesty's Government, for an extendcol system of religious intteuenm, fitc., in those countries. It was also unanimously n,peed to that a memorial, having the same object in view, be presented to Lord Bathurst The case of the lice. William M•Gregor Stirlirg. of Port, then came under the conaideration of the Court. This was an tipped from the sentence of the Presbytery of Duniolane, deposing him front the Mike of the holy ministry. The whole minutes, with the memorials in the cause, were read. Parties having been beard, it was moved by Mr. Thompson, of Perth, and aecot.ded by Dr. Wright, of Stirling that the 'entente of the Presbytery be affirmed. It was afterwards moved by Mt. 3laxton, of Maddetty, and seconded by Mr. Caw, of Bothhoonar, that the case be refined simplleiter to the General Assembly. The votes brhig taken, the sentence was affirmed by • majority of one. Whereupon the necessary steps having been taken by the re spective parties, the cause was removed to the Supreme Court. Aruit. 21. The Synod having again met, thee took up the cause of James Campbell, front the Presbytery of Dunkeld, when the sentence of the Presbytery appealed from was read. The ratites were then called to the bar, when there appeared James Campbell, foe himself, and Robert Hill, inter in Stirling, as his ag ent. No appearance was made for the Presbytery of Duo. keld. 'he Synod, after bearing the comparing party, agreed to reverse the sentence cr the Presbytery of Di nkeld appealed horn,' in consequence of its being founded upon a sentence ..f the lesser excommunication. on a charge of contumacy by the Kirk Session of Weim which in that stage of the proceeding the Synod judged to have be en ineempetent : remit the case to the Presbytery, enjotn. ing them to take into consideration the subject of the petition of James Campbell, and to give a deliverance thereupon according to the rules of the Church. BRISTOL GENERAL SESSIONS. The business commencedhere on 31onday morning, before Chief Baron litrronn, the Recorder. There were only four canes to come behre the Grand Jury; when Thomas Woodland, for housebreaking, and Robert Lake, for highway robbery, had sentence of death reanded against them, but which was afterwards commuted into transportation for life. Jorids Slade, indicted on the Coroner's Inquest fw killing and slaying John Scott; and George Karoo, tried for maliciously stabbing Jane flddoek, being previously found "mute by the vitt tat ion of (lod," were both acquitted. The Court then waited a considerable time for the Grand Jury, who bad a bill before them, when the folhrwing singular circutu. stance occurred:— THE NINO N ON THE PROSECUTION or JOHN VALDION, AGAINST ' NAIL 1111,11SLI. AND DAVID I.I.IIMtLLIW, TOll Tr11.11:1111% Two bilk of indictment warerient up to the Grand Jury against these defendants. The (hand Jury however, ignored both bills. When the (band Jury returned the bill Into Court against David Lkwcllis, and whilst the Clerk of the Arraigns was looking into the indictment for the name of the defendant, the Foreman said, " It is against Mark Howell." The Clerk of the Arraigns answered, "David Llewellio, gentle.' men." A tired Juror.—" The bill is against them jointly." Mr. Burgess then appealed to Mr. Walker, the prosecutor's Solicitor, to know against whom the indictment in reality was. Mr. Welke —" It appears the Brand Jury do not Redeemed the indictment ; it is most David Liewellin alone." His Lordship called Tor the indictment, and atter ascertaining against whom it had been preferred, said, " Liendttuen, this in dictment is against David Llewellin singly. Would you wish to revise your derision ?" The Jury declined the proposed revision, and the indictment was as receivedignored. After this, Mr. Srucmiwo, as Counsel for the prosecution. stated to the Recorder that he had a motion to make of rather an extraordinary nature. In making it he felt that much difficulty arose net of its r.ovelty : he felt also considerable pain in submitting it to his Lord ship, bectuse the motion might splicer to be grounded on an assump tion that the Brand Jury had nut discharged their duty. Lord Girroan.—Mr. Stocking, 1 cannot sit here to try the Grand Jury. What is the nature of your motion ? Mr. STOCKINC..—My lord, I conceive.— Lord irroun.—Nay, but what is your motion? Tell me what is the nature of she motion you intend to make. Mr. tiroe x o.—My Lord, I will state to your Lordship the substance of the affidavit on which my notice b grounded. The afildsvit sets forth that the indictment against Howell was sent to the Grand Jury with the names of twelve witnesses on the back 01 it ; the the Brand Jury have ignored the bill, leaving six of those witnewes unexamined, which witnesses are sworn to be material ones; toy motion, therefore, is, that your lordship will send the bill for reconsideration to the Grand Jury. Lord lit oromn—Mr. Smiling, did you ever hear of such a motion me this ? Have you any precedent ? Mr. STOCK I NO.—My Lord, 1 never heard of an occasion re quiring such a motion. Lord titrroso--I am clearly of opinion that I cannot grant your motion. I cannot sit here toter whether the Brand Jury h.ve done their duty or not. Iput it to your own good sense whether I can entertain such a motion as this. Mr. Sr nun xu—My Lord, when my client first consulted me on the subject of this motion, I certainly was embarrassed by its novelly. I had moth doubt what was the proper =Me of pro- Medina— but after the best consideration that I can give the sub. ject, I feel fortified In the conviction that I am not taking an ion.' proper course. I win not, my Lord, impute to the Grand Jury cor rupt motives. for I am Loth to cast on a body of respectable Midi. viduals an imputation which would accuse them not only of a breach of duty, but of a violation of their oaths. But I submit to your lordship, that through existent or mistake the timid Jury may hare omitted to examine those six witnesses who have remained without examinatitiv, and that on this ground your Lordship may request them to re.conritler their Bill. lord Otorone—l am .clearly of opinion that I can do no such thing. Mr. Srocatno—Then. my Lord, my client is left without a remedy. 1401 d 011IPTORD—Nn, not without a remedy ; you may prefer your bill at the next tiessiona. . . . Mr. STOCI I X —Of such &remedy, lay Lord, I may say S 4 way once said on another occa►ion, that it is ,, worNe than the disease. Slippage It possible, that from prejudice, arising front local eircain 'tilers, or otherwise, (hand Jarrell may be unwilling to discharge their ditties, it would only be fur Ilmod Juries to do *a has been &we this day, and se may prefer bills of intlictinstit fee ever. The present Grand Jury have omitted to examine six •witnesses, whom my client swears are material witnesses; the Grand Juty at the SCsakins may du the same thing; an that we may be handed over from Session to Sessions, ad tinitrus. Loril am quite clear that I am hound to refuse your motion. As I have said before, I cannot sit here to try the Grand Jury. You call ahew no precedent ; and you are cot with out a remedy for any injury you may hare susta!ned. If you choose you may prefer your bill again. Mr. Isrocansu.—Then, my Lord, I will advise my client to . take a second Hill before the Grand Jury. Lord Ilia Evonn.-1 shall nol keep the Grand Jury w.titing for your client's bill. His Lordship, *cur a pause, thanked the Grand Jury for their valuable services, and discharged them. -- - CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yestertlav afternoon an inquisi tion was taken before Mr. Unwiii, the lcanner, at the acrd Cage, Bethnal•grten, on the body of James ITIMen. It respectable was ter silk-weaver, staid 2ti, who destroyed !sinned( by tying a silk, handkerchief round his neck, and surpending finis& from tl'iP !op of a loom in his workshop. Vadiat—Lwaitv. PO LICA% MANSION-110f e.E. TIT'It CAUSE.—Yesterday the loan III•Ton (with wnom sat the City Solicitor as assessor ) ll 5 4 occupied in heating the ea s e of tithes which has excited considerable ferment in the parishes of St. Mary Weolnoth and ll'oolchurch, of which the Rev. Mr. S. Bridges Is the Hector. The cireumatances under which • number of the inhabitants foe nonpayment of tithes were summoned were these :—The tithes had been allowed to accumulate fur Fix, eight, and ten years, and in the particular ease before his Lordship for twelve years. The present occupier had only lived in the pariah two years, during which time he had not been applied to for the payment of arrears, nor did it appear that proceedings hod been a&pted to enforce payment from the preceding tenants. The Loan Marcia (with whom the City Solicitor concurred), after hearing the meat great length, was of opinion that the Rector had forfeited his right to recover, by neglecting to demand his tithes annually, and take proceedings for their recovery maims their (miner tenants. There had been gross neglect on the part of the Collector; the rates might have been improperly formed or assessed, and the inhabitants were now, by the lose of time, deprived of the right of appeal. Besides, ft was not impossible that some of the rates had been paid. Under all these eirenmstances, the war rants of distress prayed for on behalf of the Rector were refused. Jus.id• Madden, a baker, was yesterday brought before his Lord ship upon the following charge : Mr. Cope, the City - Marshal, stated, that on Monday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, be observed the prisoner passing along Fleet.street, in a state ofintoxication, and conducting himself In a most disorderly manner. He remonstrated with him, anti advised hint to go how quietly. His admonitions, however, only exaspe rated the prisoner more, and at length he felt it his duty to take him into custody. On, however, attempting to do so, the primmer, whose appearance did not indicate much muscular power, ktmelrest him down, kicked him in different parts of the body, sad tore hie clothes. On the two Forrester, (officers) coming to his assistance, they were similarly treated ; and at length they found that they could not get him to the Ounpter without hiring a cart, which they did, and tying him down in it, they conducted him there. Ills Lordship, after severely commenting on the grossness of the outrage, ordered the prisoner to find bail. Two respectable young Men ware then placed at the bar, charged with having obstructed the officers in the execution of their duty in the above ease, by crying out " Shame ! shame !" and bringing round them a mob, by whom they nee grossly insulted. They were diselisrged on receiving a suitable remonstrance, and expressing their contrltioa. GCILDHALL. MIMI TO PARISI( VESTIIIIM--An Instance, and by no means a singular one, of the mischief and inconvenience resulting from the careless manner in which business is frequently done at parochial wedeln, from the want of proper attention to legal forms, occurred yesterday before the Sitting Magistrate, Sir. Alderman Bridges. It had been the practice foe many years, in the united parishes of St. Nicholas (Save and lit. Nichols' Cole Abbey, not to males the wholesmount of the sum to be raised for tithes upon the Whale . tants, and to make up the deficiency to the Rector, by authorising the trustees of certain estates, left for the purpose of keeping the church in repair, to pay over to him the annual rental, amounting to 171. Latterly, however, it began to be considered by the trus tees that this um an illegal application of the money on their parts, which the Vestry could not authorise, and as th ey might be rendered personally liable for this misapplication, they declined to continue it. These objections were no sooner started than the just ness of them wee perceived, and a meeting of the inhabitants of the united parishes in vestry called to apply the remedy. All was unanimity at the meeting; it was resaved for the future to apply the 171. to the purposes for which they were originally bequeathed, and to supply the deficiency in the tither' by as additional rate of 1A per nut. upon the former sums on every occupier. As this was picasel what ought to be done under the circumstances, it never to anybody to inquire whether the vestry were authorised to make any such assessment ; but when the rate was put into col lection, some of the inhabitants refused to pay, and one of them, a Mv. Job Horton, attended yesterday on summons, to shew cause why a warrant should net issue against him for such refusal. The Collector produced the minutes of the vestry, authorising the sasessmait, and relied upon that for the propriety of his de mand. The defendant had no objection to urge against the principle upon which the vestry acted ; but being unwilling to pay more than be had heretofore done, now denied the legality of the rate, upon the ground that it was not made agreeably to the directions of the Statute commonly called "The Fire Aet," which requires the presence of the Alderman, Common Council of the Ward, and others, to make an assessment fur the sum to be raised for tithes. As these directions had certainly not been complied with, the hlagistate held the objection to be fetid, and that the rate could sot be enforced. As the act of the vestry was clearly a return from wrong to right, and as by conforming to the directions of the Sta tute a rate must be made, which can legally be enforced against the defendant, his opposition will ultimately save him nothing. It may, however, occasion much inconvenience to the parish, and some dissatisfaction on the part of those who have paid the rate, and should therefore act as a caution fur parochial vendee to pay due attention to legal forms in their proceedings. BOWARTEET. A dashing damsel, named Lire Louisa Edey, sou yesterday brought before Robert flails, Esq. ears warrant charging her with obtaining the sum of 381. from Mr. Allen, an officer in his Ma jesty's Nevem The Office was crowded to excess. Sir. Allen stated, that he came to reside in London about three week. ago, and took up his abode at the Golden Cruse Charing emu. On the Thursday after his arrival he breakfas ted at the coffee-house, 25, Charing-cross, kept by Mrs. Riley ; she was in the coffee-room, and in the course of conversation he asked her if he could be accommodated with a lied-room ; she said be could, and, after agreeing on terms. he was to take possession on the Sa turday fbllowerig. On the Monday she sent her servant to the Deaden Cries foe his luggage, with a note for him, which requested the loan of a sum of money. In the evening he again saw Mrs. Edey, aDd asked for en explanation of her Dote, when she repre sented herself to him as being the widow of Capt. Planer, of the Tenth Hussars, and stated that she received a pension of 1001. per year through her agents, Messrs. Cox and Co.; she also said she was the daughter of General Dunbar, who was some years ago tiovernor of Jersey ; she then told him that she bad the misfortune of having a bill for 3111. returned to her, and that if she did not get the money by the morrow, she would certainly be arrested. From her story he took pity on her, and as he had some money which he bad not immediate occasion for, he agreed to let her have the re quired suns, on her promise to return it by dm end of the week. He did not make any inquiries at Messrs. Cox and Co.'s until r-unday last,when Myra. Edey went oat in the morning, and about the middle of the day sent a note home, saying that she was going to the Theatre, and should not return to dinner; since which time be has not seen her. Mr. Allen produced several letters from the defendant, worded in the most loving" tams, concluding with " your faithful Louisa." Mr. 11• I. t.s observed, that he should infer by the letters that the money was advanced to " his faithful Louisa." Mrs. Edey, in answer to the charge, stated, that the prosecutor tame into her coffee-room, spatted by him. On his entering she was about to leave the room, when he requested that she would stay. He began reading, out of sonic old Magazines, some atm. sewn concerning lore, and asked her if she ewer was in love ? She, riot liking his inscourse, told him she never was in love ; he then, after asking he, about a lodging, said that he was very respectable, having an income of 1501. per yea, and that if she chose they might live very comfortal•ly together out of business, and asked her if she had any debts ; she told him she owed a few small debts, which he promised to pay, saying he was about to receive some money of a tradesman is say ing ; and pressed her very much to apply to him if she had the least occasion ; the bill being re turned, she wrote the note to him, asking for the money as a favour ; she concluded her defence by saying, that they had since been living together at Windsor amen and wife. While she was nothing this defence, which was delivered in a teeth and mature indicating perfect confidence and self-possession, the complainant paced about the room, clasped his hands together, and at the close of every sentence, exclaimed, in a tone of perfect astonishment, " False, false ! so help me Clod ! Pure invention, yaw Worship, on my honour and my oath. Not a syllable of truth, so help me God!" The lady maintained her composure. • Mr. Hams—Give me leave, Madam, to ask you one question. Are you the widow of Captain limner ? Defendsnt —I hold eta lease of the house at Chasing-cross. My name is Edey—at least I an known by no other name. The question put by the Magistrate was repeated several times, and at length she rductanfty admitted that she v-as not the widow of Captain She was then asked if she had a husband of the name of Edey, and after great pressing, theses' Mr. Edey was dead, and that sh: ! had lived with, but was neva married to him. She was asked he real name, sad after again bein much pressed, she wrote on a piece of paper, " Ales. Webster, " and handed it to tho Magisoste. Mr. II A L 1.5-1 . 011 1101 V state yourself to be air. Webster. Pay whe is Mr. Webster ? The defendant conceived abe area not bound to answer that <lnes lion ; and all he abou:d may was, that 31r. 'Webster died in France. . . . . . 51r. II , a solicitor, said she had consulted him confi. dently about some prcperty which she said belonged to her. She stated herself to he the proprietor of an estate at North-end, Ful. ham, and 'hewed him a xhodule which she had made out, and in which she made it appear that her whole property, including 2,5501. in the funds, amounted to about 4,9001. She told him she was niece by marriage to Sir T. Plomer, and consulted him as to the propriety of going into mourning when that gentleman died. Ile always con sidered her to be of the highest respectability, and had NO much confident's in her that he introduced her to his own family, and be came answerable for several debts of her She talked of her inti macy with the family of 31r. Ilanisbottoui, M.P. and other persons of distinction. A Mn. M'ithere next preferred a charge. She Wig the daughter of an elderly man who was waiter at the tb:fentlaut's coffee-shop, and she had let her have 201. upon the repmentations that she was the widow of Captain Pinner. and receiving ltall. per annum, and that she wanted that aim to enable her to administer to Mr. Edey's will. Mr. HALL,. who was juiced by Sir K. Maw t E in the opinion. held that neither of the charges were tangible under the statute of false pretences. Credit had been given without proper caution, and the Ilefeneant could only be sued for the debts. MP. fi contended with mud% came sufficient to go to a Jury. After some convertation the defendant was about to be dis charged, when the following fresh case was brought forward : Mr. Samuel House, a broker is Sloane -street, stated. that on Thursday last the defeddant and Mrs. Dexter (a confidential ',Ce ram of Mrs. Foley'a, who was present) came to his shop. anti Mrs. Dexter sunk, that her friend, Mrs. Mina, had lately fallen in love Oat there was with a young life-guardsman, and that she wished to furnish apart ments for him, until she could get his discharge, when she imended to wash her hands entirely of soldiering, and take him to her friends in the country as soon as she could get some money to which she was entitled The witness told her be had no wish to dive into her private akin' ; all he wanted was a reference. The defendant repeated the story. and said she wished only to hire some furniture for a short time. She stated her own name to be Witnell, and said she lived with Mrs. Edey (Mrs. Dexter), who kept an hotel at Charingtross. Mrs. Dexter assented to this, and said she had kept it for five years. Witness made inquiry, but not being satisfied, he did not furnish the goods. In answer to this charge the dekndant and her confidant denied using the pretences alleged by Mr. House. Mr. Marrs was of opinion that this awe was sufficiently strong to go before a Jury, and he ordered Mrs. Edey and Mrs. Dexter to give bail, each, herself in ent. and two sureties in 2111. each, for • misdemeanour, so attempting to obtain goods from Mr. House under false pretences. The witnesses were bound over to prosecute. HATTON-GARDEN. OUTUAGEOVII AISIAULT.--Ytilteniay Thome. Sabin, an athletic Irishman, was brought up from Satlion-hill watchhouse, charged with having assaulted John Syke,a diminutive shoemaker, residing in Field-lane. Complainant stated, that as he was returning home last night, a little after twelve o'clock, in a most peaceable manner, he was suddenly pounced upon by the prisoner, who sallied out from • court with only his shirt on, and • poker in his hand ; and, with. I out receiving any provocation, proceeded to belabour him with the poker with as much song ,frod as if he were only using an ash twig. But for the speedy interference of the watchman, he would have killed him. Darnley, the street-keeper, spoke to the general good character lawl prnmahle behaviour of complainant. The prisoner, in his defence. stated that some malicious persons have been in the habit of coming at night and breaking his win dows; and that last night several panes of glass being broken, he certainly determined to take vengeance on mankind for the wrongs he suffered, and seeing the complainant passing, he thought he I might be one of the party. "As to bating him, your Honour," said he, " with the poker, I never did ; I only gave him a few switches of it." The Magistrate, nut exactly approving of his doctrine of India. criminate punishment, and his ideas of delicate castigation not coinciding with those of the defendant, ordered him to find bail for the assault. Upon this decision being announced in the outer office, the up. root of the Saffron-hill ladies became excessive. QUEEN-SQUARE. MATIIIPIOVIAL COMFORT IL—Yesterday Mr. Hetery Brows, • master farrier, and a man of proy, residing in York-street, Weetniiuster, was brought to this Oflce, before J. E. 011E410111", Esq. charged with repeatedly threatening the lite of his better hell. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix, that about twelve mouths since she was compellei. from the conduct of her husband, in often assaulting and frequently threatening her life, to have recourse to the same expedient as tho present one, the defend ant at the time entering into an agreement before the 3lagistratee tp pay her (Mrs. Brown) 151. per annum. This the defendant strictly adhered to till last Christmas. when he called upon witness, and offered to make up all former differences and live with her, If she behaved herself in every respect as a wife should. Mrs. Brown assented to the proposition, and they lived together tolerably well ' until within the last fortnight, when her husband commenced a similar line of conduct as on former occasions, often sulking her with his double fist, and actually . threatening her life, remarking, that he would not mind jigriog tt, if he could settle her het& The witless had therefore, under the serious idea that her husband would carry his threat into execution, applied to their Worships foe the protection the law allowed her. Mrs. Brown's statement was corroborated by several respectable persons in the neighbourhood, who said the complaisant had fro. quently flown so their houses for an asylum. Mr. Brown, on being called on for his defence, laughed at the idea of " slaying his fair partner," and said, if such language had been made use of by him, it occurred hi the host of passion, Mrs. Brown being of a most aggravating disposition ; but allowed often " slapping her cheeks," to allay in some degree his violence, which certainly migkt lead to very serious results. The Magistrate said Mrs. Brown must be protdeted, and ordered the defendant to find good sureties to keep the peace against her. LAMBETH-STREET. ASSAULT.—A Mrs. Rose and her daughter, both dressed in the first style of fashion, were brought up on • warrant, at the instance of Mrs. Dean, • lady of equally respectable appearance. The parties, who are both very respectable, are neighbours, residing in Jubilee-place, Stepney. One of the complainant's children was walking in the garden on Saturday last, when a child of the de fendant's began to pelt it over the wall with mud. Complainant went out in order to prevent this, when the defendants commenced • most furious attack upon her, hurled every sort of rubbish which they could find at her, and pails of water were showered over her without intermission. She observed, that if the Magistrates did not grant her some effectual redress against these parties, she should quit her house; and she DOW produced a bucket, which she said was very actively used by Miss Ross in throwing water over her, which she served was actually thrown at her head. The defendants denied that they were the aggressors, and repre sented complainant as • most furious, intemperate, and insulting woman ; and to shew that they only scud in self defence, called a Mr. Campbell. This get:Sanaa said, that he had not witnessed the beginning of the fray ; he went out In order to quell it, but the missiles and pails of seater were showering so fast on both sides, that he was intimidated from interfering ; the contest appeared very doubtful, and both parties were at length obliged to ,five in from fatigue and without a victory having been obtained upon either side. Witness came to tea In the evening to Mrs. Ross's, and the contest was again revived, and carried on fur a considerable time with the saute ardour and weapons as before described ; be thought both parties much to blame, and could not tell with whom the fault actually lay. The Magistrate was of opinion the whole proceedings were quite disgraceful, and both parties were much to blame ; he, therefore, in order to prevent a recurrence of such shameful conduct for the future, ordered the complainant and defendants to find sureties to keep the peace towards each other. Neither party indeed ap peared satisfied at this decision. UNION HALL. Yesterday five men, named J. Barnett, R. Smith, J. Dillon, 3. Smith, and J. Miler, were brought before the Sitting Magil -1 trate, charged on suspicion with having robbed the bleach grounds of Mr. Ill'Pearn, situate in the parish of Mitcham, of upwards of 1,51 M yards of muslin. Information of the robbery was given at the office on Saturday last, in consenquence of which (Hannon and Hammond, two active *Seem were directed to make search after the offenders, and they emended in apprehending the above men on Tuesday morning, tegether with the whole of the property, at a house in Islington. Marmon stated, that on Tuesday morning, at six o'clock. he and Hammond went to a house at Gad's-row, Islington, kept by the Miles. On the °firers' entrance, they immediately appro. El i n i dT er d the above men, who were all below stairs, and on pm casting up stairs, they discovered the whole of the stolen property in &small room. The muslins, which were of various patterns, were all lying in a heap together, and quite damp. Some of the pieces were much damaged, in mnsequence of the violence used in dragging them from the pegs in which they were fastened to the bleach ground. Manson added, that he had the whole of the ro pperty now in his ion, but had not yet informed Mr. Al`Featn of the appre= of the pawns, or the restoration of his property. The prisoners, who ell reside in 3litcham or that neighbourhood, denied aH knowledge of the robbery. The Magistrate remanded them, in order to have the at tendance of Mr. 111•Fearn, who was informed of the circumstance M the course of the day. •. We are requested to correct a mistake in our report from Mary-la-bonne Other yesterday, the Reporter having uninten. tionally misplaced the names. The complainant was Mr. Camp, bell, and the defendant Mr. Arnsinck. SHOCKING ACCIDIENT.—The following melancholy acci dent occurred at the brewery of Mews. Woodcock, Hodges, and Wells, at Chelmsford, on Friday last:—A man of the name of Howlett went to the top of a large vat, for the purpose of shooting in hops, when (as is supposed) he ascended a step or two higher than usual, and losing his Wisner, fell in. His perilous situation was soon discovered by the junior partner, who happened to be ping towards the store at the time, and heard him shriek. The tap was imniediatcly started, to let off the liquor ; the men sum_ moved. and the grappling-irons brought into use with the utmost promptitude; some time, however, necessarily elapsed before be mid be recovered t and, though every effort was used by the me dical gentlemen who had reached the spin, it proved unavailing; life hail become extinct. The tilling of the rat had but lately com menced, mul little more than two or three brewings had been put into it. From the small depth of the liquor, therefore, it is evident be must have died of suffocation. The deceased had been several years in the employment of Messrs. AVoodcock and Co. and was a very sober industrious man. He has left a widow and eight child. rev, one of which is about a month old, to lament their lON. A coroner's inquest was taker—Verdict. Accidental Death. The whole of the beer (shout 90 barrels) was subsequently let off into the common sewer, in the presence of the Rev. Messrs. it's* Hutchinson, and Ilunt ; J. Crabb, Esq. ; Messes. Chalk, Baker, Archer, and several other gentlemen.—!Cent and Essex Afeeesiry.
