MELANCHOLY ACCIDENTS.

It is our painful duty to record one of the most serious
accidents that has occurred in this ueiglibunrhoird for many
years :—A great smasher of farmers, cattle-desks*, awl

about one o'clock on Tuesday morning; but having a long
tract of sand to cross, a strong south-west si ind blowing,
and it being very dark, some althorn separated from the main
body. Instead of holding directly worth, they deviated to
the westward, and ere they were aware of the danger
plunged at fall gallop into a very daageroits creek, many
fathoms in depth, called the Stooimpit. Dratressing to re-,

contrived to keep his head above the water by holding fast
hold of t►e bridle until the animal dragged him to the &g-

sofierers have been &sad: Mr. Graham bas kft a widow and
nine children, Mr. Frood a 'widow and three ebildresi.—his
servant was out married. The body of Mr. Ferguson, who

singular features. John Forinall, the legal Wiwi'
of the children, provrid, what wars not disputed,
his having gained a settlement in Spalding, and
fin tier deposed, that the reputed mother of these
children, Prurience Forman (hut Wlltalat wtaldru

aboui. sea-ell teell year% ago. 10 a Mat of the Millie
at Joseph llolines, for five gturreas (Is tolerable
pi ice for such a commodity ; but perhaps wives
sold iiiitter then than they du now !) and that he
had alit since cohabited with her, or hardly seen
her. The three children were all in Court ; the
eldest Was 1:11ie tunic 111311 twelve years of age.
Authenticated registers of baptism of these children
were produced. from winch it appeared that they
had been bloused by dillerent mimes; the eldest,
at Boston church, as the von of Joseph and Prudence
Holmes, alias Forman; the second, at the same
church, as the son of Prudence Furman ; and the
third, at Skirbeck church, as the sun of Joseph
and Prudence flohnes. Etidence was adduced of
these children living wills, and being considered
from their ilifinicy as the children uf, the said

Appellants, iusi•ted that Furman h.tvilig sold his
wife, and ceased to have intercourse with her long
antecedent to the both of any of these children,
coupled with the other circumstances of the case,
there could Le Ho pretence for cousidering them as
Ins children, but that they must rather be taken to
be the children of [Wines, the purchaser of the
wife. by whose name they were baptised and fre-
quently went. The Learned Advocate, though be
talked of calling evidence that would very much
strengthen his case, concluded by sayilig that he
felt it to ire sufficiently strung without doing so, aid
therefore would not take up the time of the Court by
calling any. On the part of the Respifildents, the
juuior Mr. llollway appeared, and very ably argued
their case. Ile quoted from Blackstone, from other
established authorities, and from the dicta of Judges
in cases that had come before them, tq *hew that
children bu•it iu wedlock must be taken to be those
of their legs. parents, unites eireurnstances could be
•hewn that rendered that impossible to be the case ;
that the law presumes access between man and wife;
that the sale of the wife by the husband was a scan-
dalous action, and detrimental to the morals of
society, and could not be set up as a bar against
the children's right of settlement; and that it
would be monstrous to admit of a husband's roma
tug forward to bastardize the issue of his owls wife.

HAMBURGH PAPERS.

STOCKHOLM, OCTOBER 29.

The inquiries still prosecuted by the Norwegian
Government into, the troubles which took place
during the Storthing in 1818, when a troop of pea-
Santa marched against Christiania, in order to dis-
perse the repreoviitelises of the nation, appear to
have Wel). led to important discoveries. It is
affirmed, that the plan in question was more ex.
tensive and deliberate than was believed at the be-
ginning, when mercy and consideration of the cir-
cumstances of the moment caused the laws to he
silent. The discoveries lately made are due to the
ability and tried experience of a Magistrate, end
though nothing is yet made public respecting the
nature of them, yet their importance may be in-
ferred from the circumstance that Halvor Hoe!, one
of the richest farmers in the district of Hedetnark,
and another landowner of the name of Ascii, have
been conveyed in chains to Christiania, where they
will be brought to trnil. The public opinion was
always unfavourable to Hot!, and when he was
chosen member of the Storthiog, some years ego,
the other representatives would not suffer him to
be among them.
In North Bothnia, a fanatical sect has arisen, who
preach fatalism, and profess doctrines contrary to
our religion. This sect is said to have spread over
an extent of 30 Swedish miles. The King has sent
Barou Skjoldebrand, Governor of the Province of
Nykoping, and the Secretery Strall, to make the
minutest inquiries into the progress and profes-
sors of that sect.

Since the day before yesterday ire hate had a

SURREY THEATRE.

Mrs. &mirrors% Mudge Wildfire, in the Heart
of Mid. Lothian, is skill the great point of attrac-
tion among the novelties of this theatre, and the
romance cutitinues to receive that warm approba-
tion from crowded audiences which it deserves, and
which we anticipated an the first ;tight of the per-
forinance.

siontinue to perform the war dance. mode of com-
bat. and dance of peace, of the North American
warriors. There is hut little variety in the move-
trients of these Indians, hut as a subject of cutio.
roy, it is instructive to see the habits of a people,
woo preserve much of their original character,
though residing not remote from the borders of a
civilized race.

The Proprietor of the Opera House has heel' at-
tacked, because the larnetit towards the Waterloo
Fund, which he gw:e at the theatre, was not pro.

of the house. A very I,4'l4aq:tory niliwer to the
charge is given in the front of our Paiur.
We have authority to state, to the uto•t positive
terms, that the allusion made by Mr. bastuklt 111

The second payment to the Bank of 30/. per

maiing 40 per cent. to the Batik, which is to be
on the Nth of February, is therefore calculated to
excite some appreheasitm, since the infirm state of
the market is plainly discovered by the effect pro-
duced on it by the making of the second payment.
It is difficult to imagine, under these circumstances,
how tiny rise in the funds can for the present be
anticipated. Saturday was a holiday at the Bank,
