was immediately conveyed back to the British Infirmary, where the
p roe fellow languished until Saturday, and then expired. The itnme-
diite cause of the accident was singularly remarkable :—Being asleep
in the waggon, the unfortutuee young man dreamt that he was driving
his father's horse and cart, (an occfmation he was much accustomed us)
anme.s here in the neighbourhood of Camerfon; and that the horse be-
jug in danger of running into the canal, he, wills great earnestness,
jumped out of the front of !lie waggon (which, iu lis dream, appeared
to him like his own cart) to lay hold of the horse by the head, and in so
• doing unfortunately fell under the wheel, and lost his life
The following circumstance lately occurred at Mr. G. Knock's, Brix-
ton farm, at Charing•heath, Kent :—A few nights ago, about nine
o'clock, Mrs. K. being in the kitchen, heard a slight noise in the chil-
dren's bed room, and while li,tenine, Mr. K. who, with a friend. was
s Itiag at the window, saw by the.hght of the moon something, app.
rttnily.iss white, dust swiftly across the orchard, which he supposed was
a man from the cellar window, which -had been left open; he ,
ately pursued, but lost sight of it at the end of the orchard. Mrs. K.
being 4uformed of this, ran out, and mut her husband returning ; shrieks
and cries of distress were then heard, whicir she exclaimed was tier son's
voice, both in consequence proceeded across the field to their next
ereightiour's house, %slime they found their son, John, about 12 years of
age, just taken ant of a pond, quite naked. It appeared, that in his

Tippling at public-houses has always been fatal in its effells spas
the lower class, and its baneful consequences have trequintly ex-
tended to those in higher stations of life. This truth has lately beets
verified by the conduct of a young man, who lived opon his owu.
estate, the son of a respectable widow woman, at Rettend..n. Essex.
Beguiled by an old offender (one whom he bad before puris..ed for
stealing wood), he was induced lately to heeome an accomplice im
breaking open a barn belonging to Mr. Boker,•Of Rettendon Haff„
Twice had the. offenders entered the prerni•es. The first tfnse they
stole three sacks of wheat undiscovered ; the last time four sacks
were taken, nue of which having a hole in it, so scattered whvA,
that fell in the track of the wheels, enabled Mr. Bak( r t, follow the
cart directly to the house of the delinquent. —Mr. Baker, without
,uspielatt that he had discovered the oat rider, rather *opposing some
one bad borrowed the rart, called tip the owner ho, instead or
joining in pursuit of the offender, ran out back way and endeavoured
to escape. On being overtaken, he confessed the oo'etwe, but de•
alined giving that information which would otherwise have enabled.
