&MINT BY PROW:CI:NO.—A respectable young man,
named Henry Bates, whose friends reside in Vauxhall,
was unfortunately drowned while bathing in the river
near Battersea. The deceased was swietuting at some dis-
tanee out, when noticed suddenly to disappear, and he not
rising goon after, an immediate alarm was given, but al-
though several persons went to render the unfortunate man
their assistance, he was seen to rise no more. It is sup-
posed he had been taken wish the cramp, and sunk into
one of the sand-holes near the spot.
A poor widow, left with twelve children, awl residing
at Ileabers, near Middleton, cut her throat with a weaver's
loom-knife! It appears the family were quite destitute of
necessaries. Site had applied to the overseer (a young lad,
'eighteen or nineteen years of age), who referred her to the
Vestry Meeting. In the man time she was taken ill, and
could not attend, and has been destitute, and perhaps
forgotten since, until, having endured as long as nature
could bear, she has laid violent hands upon herself.

embifierncE, Az G.ll
We were alarmed last evening, ablaut ten o'clock, by a
strong light in the air. The several engines here proceeded
instantly to the village of Over, about nine miles nein this
place, the ill-fated spot. It was the most trz•zocntimit fire
that has been known by the oldest inhabitant, tithe, in
town or country. It consumed fire farm-briteest with
barns and other buildings, seven cottages, and sixty stacks
of hay, corn, &c. The value of the crop, I understand,
was from eight •to ten thousand pounds ; only two Nit of
Rix sufferers were insured. The fire covers a woce of neatly
sixteen acres, which presents a melancholy picture of IL
-
ruins of so much property. The agents of the Norwich-
Hertfordshire, and Essex Economic Fire Officeat wer,
upan the spot, and used every exertion to arrest the de.
vouring element. Great credit is due to the surrountlinc
inhabitants, but for whom other property had be -n
volved in the like ruin. There is reason to believe Oast
some vile incendiary set the barn on fire, where it first
commenced. Several men have absconded, which has
given rise to suspicion, and they are purseed with such
vigilance as I hope will ensure their apprehension.
