EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.

Yesterday afternoon, about one o'clock, a poor Irish.
woman, who was selling apples and pears, was wheeling her
barrow on the foot pavement in Lueas•street, Brunswick-
square, when the street-keeper came up to her, sod laying
bold of the barrow, threatened to take it to the green-yard.
Neither tears nor entreaties could prevail on I to restore
the barrow; she told him her distressed situation, and
stated that it contained all her earthly substance, and
was the only support of herself and five children, besides a
sick husband; he was inexorable; he wheeled the barrow
along, she following, crying and entreating him to restore
it : but nu! As he was crossing the sheet with it, the pave-
ment sank ender his feet, in cuasequence of the sewer fall-
ing iu, and he was engulfed, and on attempting to ex-
triode lonsioeW, the earth WI each side kept pouring in, until
he was Marled is it above bis waist, and looked like Gulliver
in the eierrow-bone. The poor woman, taking advantage
of biz sokward situation, laid hold of her barrow and
escaped. He had to remain there near half an hour, dui,
nog which time the rain fell i■ such torrents that the hole
!filled with it. Ile was at Italy!' dog one seemingly noire
Jiad than alive from she wet and cold, but received no fur-
ther injury than Nome aliglit braises iu his legs.

About nine o'clock on Friday evening, Mr. Amami),
druggist, of Luaduii, was mopped, near Bris!logien, us
Lis way to Bristol, by a villain, who demsaded his mosey,
and immediately struck him with • stick, inSictimg a wound

a brown silk umbrella in a green case. with which lie ran of,

Earl Gansvxxou has sent 501. to the Fund
fo► the relief of the Manchester Sufferers, ■nd for
bringing to punishment the perpetrators of the
outrage, with an uccompanyiog letter, which is
given ►n another part of our Paper.
A few days since, while G. 1-1. SHIRWOOD, Esq.
of Rysom Garth, in Holder►►ess, was firing at a covey
of partridges, o►e of the barrels of his gun burst
near the breach, and blew off the cocki or both
locks. Mr. `S. escaped unhurt, with the exception
of having his face considerably burnt. The second
barrel was sot discharged; and, what is very sin-
r, the bird shot at by Mr. S. with the barrel
ilus‘ was hilted by the discharge.

Mr. Parkins said they could not agree.
The Lord Mayor asked, was there any chance of
their agreeing as to the Under-SherifiS to be sworn
in ? Ort which
Alderman Bothwell, in a firm and emphatic
manner, replied, there certainly was nut.
Some conversatiou ensued, during which the
Lord Mayor declared, that he had neither the
power nor the inclination to settle the private differ.
ences of these Gentlemen—that they roust go to
another tribunal, and no Under-Sheriff fur the pre-
sent could be sworn in. " But," added his Lord-
ship, " if you do not agree, an Under-Sheriff must
be sworn for each of iließheriffs."
His Lordship then rose, and adjourned the
Court, and with the Recorder, the Shei IX, Alder-
men, &c. retired. On his way through the Ball lie
was assailed with increased ardour by the people.
His Lordship remained inside fur a very considerable
time, in hopes perhaps that the people might di►-
perse, but the crowd seemed rather to increase
every moment, and on his Lordship's departure
front Guildhall a scene commenced which would
beggar all description—which, therefore, we shall
not attempt to paint.

• Adam Ogilvie &you'd, that he and his family
were lodged in the village el West-Reston, on the
bib of July lust. On the morning of the 7th, about
lire o'clock, *hen the winless was in bed, ana his
eldest daughter up to look after the horse, Robert
Young came to the door of the wittiest's lodging.
Witness asked him what he wanted so early in the
Him-nine., who desired him to get up end he would
tell him. Witness's wife had told him that she had
twee struck and abused by Young, at Prestonpans,
the Sunday before. Robert Young said, the hest
tiling he could do was to drink a bottle of ale with
him ; so lie went to the door, with nothing but his
enuff-hox in his hind ; and, having sat down upon
some stones near the door, Andrew called to John
to come forward and strike him. They had each a
Eick. When John refused to strike, Andrew tossed
down his hat, and struck him a revere blow ou the
Cheek with ins stick ; and Robert threw a stone, which
hit hint on the head and knocked him down. His
wife hail told him that the Youngs had threatened,
at Prestonpans, to come and murder him, and he
had got a rata' bit sword to protect himself and his
family, in case they should come to his house under
night. When be carne to himself he heard his wife
crying for mercy, and while yet lying, raw Andrew
strike her desperately with a stick. She gut the
kttword, end he saw her make a stroke at Andrew
with it, mid when he got up they were struggling.
Immediately after he got up another stone was

knocked down again, and knew nothing after.—
:When he calve to his senses the Young', were away.
lie gave them no provocation that morning, nor
ever said a bad word to them in his life.
Mary Ogilvie, the wife, and Elisabeth Ogilvie,
tl.e daughter of the preceding witness, coofituied his
evidence.
Several witnesses were examined who sear the
fray between the Prisoners and Ogilvie, and repeat-
edly saw them strike him.
Robert Hood, surgeon in Ayton, was called to
Adam Ogilvie, about six in the meriting of the 7th
of July. He found three wounds on his head, down
to the hone, and iu one on the left side, a small
ii.ortion of the external table of the skull was de-
tached, but this did not amount to an actual frac-
ture. Two of the wounds appeared to have been
inflicted with a sharp instrument, and the other
with a blunt one. Witness did not think Ogilvie
in actual danger of his life. On the lid] he found
him affected with fever, and had the fever increased
be certainly would have been in danger.
The declarations of the Penne!l were then read.
Andrew Young alleged that Ogilvie took a sword
from his wife, and attacked him with it, but was
intocktd duets with a stone by Robert. This was
nearly confirmed by Robert. John and Alexander
merely admitted a scuffle had taken place.
No evidence was produced in exculpation, hut
revere! certificates of their previous characters and
guoii conduct hitherto, were read.
The Jury having retired a few minutes for 'con-
sultetion. returned a viva yore verdict, unanimously
finding Alexander Young Not Guilty, and Robert.

Lame, lb die Martij, 1819.
Sir JOHN JACKSON, Baronet, in the Chair.
--.
Charles bl'Lean, N.D.'s e.rasinalion revilinued.

The symptoms of plague are distinct ?—No; they are so
tanmerons, Mb various, and freemently so indistinct, Mat, the
di may he often confounded with other maladies.
Do you know of any instance where the plague has been
marked, where it has slot spread!—lt is not eolisistent with
my own knowledge. het cases have occurred is the island of
Cyprus, at the town of 'Arnica. A ship being wrecked
upon that 61111111, some of the crew being ill of 'the plague
were sent to the town of [arnica, they were visited by the
people. some of them died ; but the disease was 1101 pro-
duced the following year ; the disease prevailed in the town
of (Arnica, and swept olf at the rate of twenty or thirty a
day.
At what time of the year was this ?—ln March I think, or
April, as fares I recollect.
Are you, aware, that in the towns of the East, the Turks
suffer in a greater propos tion than the Christian popsilstioss?
—I am aware that such has been represented, but I do not
credit il, because I do out see the grouts& of it; it has
been assumed by Christian trarellers, that the Turks must
necemarily suffer more, since they do not take preranti .... s
that the Christians do ; and they have staled the fact upon
mer easstimption • whatimeans they hart ofjuolging, I profess
nut to know ; do slot know that bills of mortality are kept
by the Turks.
_ . _

Had you an opportunity of judging which of them put.
fered most l—sit in matter of obvious fart, that the Turks do
ant desert their friends when seized with the disease, not
feeling that dread of the malady which Christians do ; and it
is admitted by the advocates of contagion, that dread ope-
rates more severely than what they call the true euutaQwu
itself; it therefore must operate equally severely under the
belief, lot:contagion, whether it does or not exist; and it
must operate more severely upon those who entertain that
belief, as the Greeks and Atmenians of the Levant do, than
upon the Turks who do not entertain it. This also bee been
confirmed by (Acts; nod it is stated by various travellers,
that the Turka recover in a much greater number from the
plague than the Christians who are attacked with it.
Such being the belief of those who support the doctrine
of contagion, how do you account tor their innforuily sad
inverts') y representing the greatest mortality among the
Turks, where there is no dread !---1 am not aware that it is
an uoiformty and invariably represented, lint if it be, it is
only the opinions of those travellers who are slot enabled to
judge of the rircusnstnnees; for no traveller so the Levant
can possibly he he a situati to know any thing at all of
the matter, except what is rejresente.l to them by Chris-
tians believing in contagion, or by the stipetiutendents of
the plague establishments.

Those Christians owing inhabitants of the country ?—Yes ;
but those have different degrees of belief; the Greeks be-
lieve much more in contagion tb3n the Armenians.
Yuu have bold us, that the plague is ilmlloll to he of six
different kinds at Smyrna?—Su 1 understand it to he; I do
not state that from personal knowledge.
You hare described the mother plague, slid you describe
the other five ?—I bare not guise into the perliessiars; I un-
derstand they are different only in degree; I Milk flue ac-
count as short as possible, but I east go into it inurc particu-
larly if the Committee wish it.

Is there any particnlar symptom in the plague, by which
you think it may with certainty be distinguished from any
other fever ?—Tbe symptom which seem• to be the must re-
gular is the peculiar appearance of the countenance, and the
eyes and the tentve; but that I do not conceive to be dig.
tiget from what those appearances are in the severer de►
greys of the ordinary forms ul typhus and yellow fever in
other countries.

Have you put much dependence upon the glandular af-
fections, as a distinctive character of the plagne?-,!-No.
Nor the carbusteles?—They do not always occur; but
when they do, they are more distinctive marks of the disease,
in my opinion, than the glandular swellings.
Ti, what extent have you made t►ials of that method, by
which you think the plague may in lout cases out of five be
cured ?—1 have only had an opportunity of trying it in an
efficient manner upon myself, sot bring able to try it ac-
curately on the patients in the hospitals; I was not able td
apply the remedy at night, from the customs of the people.
Then your opinion of the validity of that method, is
drawn from a single experiment ?—No ; my °pinto's was
drawn from analogy in that case, and the other cases which
were successfully treated in the pesthouse, as well as frum
the efficient manner in winch I bad, for many years, pre-
ly an opportunity of applying the doctrine in yellow
feve,r, and the typhus of sat iOUS it is principally
from analogy in other cases I draw my inference.
Hose you ever known the typhus fever, that which you
could be sure of as the typhus fever, to chew the symptoms
of glandular affection in the came manner as the plague is
seen to do?-1 have seen distinct buboes in the groin in the
typhus.

..to this country ?—Yes ; I have stet; such • thing but Dot
Often.

Did you ever see the ca.btsucles ?—No.

Toe attribute the origin of the bel;f of contagion in
epidemic diseases, to the slate of the Council of Trent ?—I
consider that to have been the period at which it was first
accredited sod acted upon, by any public authority, with a
view to effect the removal of that Council to Bologoa.
Are yon quite certain it was the plague that prevailed?—
It was di•puted by the Cardinals, whether it was the plague
or scarlet fever. rnicaoorius said, it was the true plague,
and said he had come there to atteuil other disorders, but
not to expose himself to the true plague.
Du you imagine the Court of Rome could have availed
itself of this argument, unless there bad been a pre-exiatiug
opinion to that effect '!—Thst there might have been a pre-
existing opinion, I am not competent to say, I do not know
that there was ; t am store there was none among the eminent
physicians of antiquity. I am not aware that any statement
of it is pretended to have been made, previous to the De.
enaneruu of Boccacio.

Do you imagine the disease prevailing in Florence is
1348, was the true plague?-1 hare no doubt of it ; 1 hare
no reason to doubt it. I was going to explain with respect
to the Decameron, that it is necessary to ascertain the pre-
cise. date of its being priuted, in order to appreciate the
authenticity of the doctrines which it contains, as being
those of the writer; or as being introduced by interpolation
of editors or commentators. At any rate, it does not sig.
nify to the main question, at what time the doctrine of con.
tagion orientated, or by whom, aad by bow sonny it hat
been entertained, if its truth can be disproved.
You have stated, you du nut believe the notion of the
plague bring contagious, as alluded to by the physicians or
aotiquity?-1 have.
