PROVIDENTIAL PtltistßrxrioN.

See. snrgeon, in Derbyshire, • gentle.-
man of extensive pea, ice, which occasioned is at.
tendance on patients at houses dispersed in the coun-
try. consieetlibly distant from his own residence,
dteaseed ene'night, that, being called on to attend a
farmer's wife, who resided a few miles distant, he
was attacked and murdered in a certain lane, which
it was necessary for him to pass through on his way
%.`iithe.-. The agitation of his mind, in consequence
of this supposed attack, awoke him; when finding
['his alarm was nothing but a dream, it made no
further impression on him, and he soots fell asleep
again. In the second sleep. the same horrible cir-
cumstance wain presented itself to his imagina-
tion. and be awoke as before. He, however, went
to sleep a third time. when another repetition of his
terrific vision caused him to awake in such an agi-
tated state of mind, as induced him to awake Mrs.
S. to whom he communicated this singular oc-
currence ; the relation of which he had scarce-
ly finished. when a violent knocking at the
door was beard. Mrs. S. very much alarmed, in-
lasted that Mr. 8. should not get up, on any account,
and went herself to the window, to inquire what
was wanted. On whieh a man infermrd her, that
Mrs. (meaning the very person nho had
been the subjed of Mr. S.'s dream) was taken in
labour, aad that Mr. S.'s immediate attendance was
required. Mrs. S. replied, that Mr. S. was indis-
posed and could not attend her. The man urged
the danger of her situation, and the consequent no-
cemity of Mr. S.'s going with him ; but Mrs. S.
telling him that it was very singular ihe person he
mentioned should be in the situation lie described,
without having ptevionsly. as is customary, inti-
mated it to Mr. S. whose patient she was, desired
him to apply to someeither gentleman of the profes-
sion, assuring him, positively, that Mr. S. neither
could, nor would comply with his request. In the
morning Mr. S. had the curiosity to ride over to the
house where his assts....nee was pretended to have
been .vaii.ed. and lonnd the good woman ii. perfel
health. totally ignorant of the application.
Mr. 8 is a gentleman of tespeathle clierader,
both moral and professional ; and is the father of
several children.

On Tues Jay sc'nnigbt, Mn. Caron was appre-
bPnded, at Southampton, for cutting one FIiSCH,

was committed ui part, but has been sinca aWntitsed
