SHOCKING CASE.

In the aerosol we gave yesterday of the two children of
Mr. Waster, is Peartree•cuurt, Clerkenwell, being bit by
• mad dog, we thought we bad stated the worst, bat on
further inquiry •lace, we learn that two other children,
one belonging to Mr. Prichard, sad another to a Mr.
Bedford, to t►e same court, were also bit ly the same
one is the cheek and souther in the leg, both of
w▪
hom have undergone surgical operation, and, to add to the
misfortune, Mrs. Hessler, iu saving the children, had the little
finger of her left baud bit; the part has been rut nut, the
horse scraped, and elastic applied to the wound. To pre-
vent the dog eseaptog, as he was going out s►e held hint
between she door and the jamb, and laid hold of bins by the
tail, and kept bins so omit a lodger cause with a loaded
musket, and blew his brains out. The surgeons who attended
the wounded persons opened t►e body of the dog, and found
his stomach in • high state of isfiammation, and coniainieg a
nasality of small atones, and splinters of wood, which, is

DEATH OF Mae. GARRlCK.—Wednesday after-
noon, at the advanced age of 98, the venerable relict
of our great Worms suddenly expired. while yit-
frog in her claim, at her house on the Adelphi-terrace.
So little of pievious indication was there of her ap-
proaching diarolutiosi, that on Wednesday morning
she was making preparations to attend the re-
opening of Drury-Line Theatre, of which, we under-
stand, she was a very large proprietor. Great as
was her age, she was generally thought to have been
much more advanced in yesri. We heard it con-
fidently stated 11011/11V time ago, that she was above a
hundred; bur we have realms to believe that the
above Is correct.

WRIGHT, the pedestrian, will commence his ar-
duous task of going on foot front St. Paul's, Lnii.
don, to Yurk Monster. and return in five successive
days, on Monday next, the 21st instant. prcriaely
at twelve o'clock at noon, from St. Paul's Church-
yard, opposite the Crown.
Early on Thursday morning, Mr. T. C. FOWLER,
surgeon, of Sheerne.e, ass found dead. with his
neck dislocated, near the Red House, between that
place and the Half-way House to Monster. The
deceased, about half-past nine on the preceding
evening, had called at the Half-way House on his
return from Eastchurch, on horseback, and the
night being very dark, he was advised not to ride
an hard as was his usual custom ; hot it is feared
that he herded not this caution, and hence the fatal
accident which deprived him of life, and the circle
in which he moved of Ins able prulessional services.
