SEPT. 3.

f,,.' w a: ular3 of a dread!ui a. c.d, za are contained
in a letter fro:n au inhabitant of Dom:it:it to his friend in Was-
go w , ?tag. 17
I have to relate one of the mast awful and the most melan-
choly ,:cidei;ts that ever occurred i;i 'hia part of the world.—
Weduesday, ittiag the fair-day at Tani, the ferry-boat, in
sio:, from VIA side to the south side, sunk, and the whole
tro hoard periAted, amounting to upwards of l'2o persons, among
w: re Sht-r:ff M'Cullock. Mr. John Leslie, merchant, and
Isabel, his sister, &c. There w .re upwards of 20 fin the
town, and 63 from the parisit. it is easier for you to conceive
than for rue al describe the :LA fail situation of the whole town.
The w h,)le (-bur it.,ant is one scene of graves; and all yesterday
carts At 're employed in carrying the dead bodies to the town:
Ft 4' of ;I).•se belou4iag to the town have been yet found ; but I
am aopeful a number will be found this day, as *e have got a
pet, aid are going to try what we can do. Ihe boat was over-
loaded, and, ;is ,00n as they left the land, b:.gan to sink. The
blame has been much laid on Sutherlawl, the ferry-man on the
soutii side, who has suffered, as he h:ippened unfortunately to tie
' .1s si le that fatal morning. -The day wiry quite calm. Good
God • o t<< ha4oc in one partsh—w hole fatuities have perished !"

S;•EEPING GUARDIANS.,—A curionus kind of frolic, if it
at be so denominated, was played :it Shepperton,'
k, on the night of Monday last. The orchard belouging to
Mr. Porter, which was well stocked with fruit, had been,
r. bbed, in order to prevent furthe:- depredations, t,‘ o steady
men placed to ;itch tae premises at tiight, with loaded
un:!ei busses, and a hut, built with trusses of straw and hurdles,
was ere,::ea for their accommodation.---0,1 Monday night some
heedless wags set tire to the said hut, and the watchmen, who
were fast asleep, escaped with some difficulty, and left their
blunderbusses, tne contents of which exploded, to the terror of
the village. A reward has been offered for the apprehensiou of
the incendiary, hot there is no trace at' him.
The following is recommeudei as a cure for the complaint in
the bowels :—To t%ro large spoonfuls of brandy add two of wa-
ter, and as much Turke7 rhubarb as will lie on a shilling : to
be taken three times a day.
