AT LLANDUDNO. —A melsocholy and fatal accident hop-
peed on Friday to a young gentleman named Leidy,
who, with his permits and other members of his family,

Chichester. Mr. Leisler had his gun eith him. and at
the request of hie friend shot at • gull which was
hovering near the Ortne's Head. The bird was struck by
the shot, and fell upon the hoe of the rock at a consider-
able height from the shore, Mr. Lelaler laoded, scaled the
rock, and secured the bird. which he threw down to his
friend. Is demending, he caught hold of a tuft of gram
which was growing from the rock. The hold was insecure
and treacherous ; the grass gave way, and the unfortunate
young man fell from a terrible height to the ground. He
gasped, and died directly in the arms of his friend. The
sad affair has mat a deep gloom over the whole neighbour-
hood, and is much deplored by the large circle of Man-
