tIiSLANCIAOLT AGCIDSSIT.—OIt Tuesday, he 23u
ult., about eight o'clock in the morning, as Mr. Joseph
Bateman was proceeding in a gig towards Stourbridge,
his horse, which was a spirited animal, and unaccus-
tomed to harness, took fright heady opposite Bellevue-
house, at an attempt made by Mr. baseman to raise his
umbiella, and galloped furiously down the steep hill
leading into Hales Owen. Mr. 8, being much alarmed,
dropped the reins, by which the speed ol the horse was
fearfully increased ; and seeing a cart approach lain from
the bottom of the bill, dreading a concussion, he leaped
from thesis about 20 yards before they met. The Wall
driving the cart laid hold of the shaft horses and endea-
voured beget out of the way, but unforturiarely .!re lure
horse turned short round at the moment ore g g was
loaning, and received one of the gig steals in los body,
near the hip, which almost ethately killed .
The concuss.on was SO SIOICIII, that the can, which Was
laden with casting puts, WAS overturned, and the mars
thrown under the horses, by witich he had several of his
ribs broken, and was otherwise seriously krireir. Taw
horse, drarging a part of the gig atter him, was not
stopped until lie reached the turnpike on the brourbridge
road. Mr. Bateman WAS taken up by wale pCfsthiS Wilu
Wltllit.Sed the accident, and carried to a coi..iae mar at
hand. Medical assist nice was speetl,'v wrien

Mr. Burke had not been many months married : that
, prior to his happy union, his wife, who was a yeasig%

f quaintance with the prisosier, who is a handsome peas-
tellow of eighteen when a mutwai a•tachment ensued,
i and au attempt at an elopement was the result; but the
watchfulues• of her friends unfortunately frustrated the-
• attempt. Shortly after this, Mr. Burke paid his addret .
I see to her, and socceeded in gaining her affections, and
' an elopement, which led to the happy uttion, was the
consequence. It must be here ohm .ed that die retina-

.LOSS OF mrs mAJmor -maw mii4irki—

The following details ot the melancholy lots o
leis Majesty's ship Drake are extracted from a New.
foundland paper of the ell inst. received on Satur-
day :
•• The Drake sailed from Halifax on Thursday morning, 2tfth
1:1t for St. Jt The weather uncommonly fine, and the wind
favourable, shesoondnued to steer a direct course toe Cape Race
on Ssuiday merning_it came on extremely thick, with a fresh
bra, se from W.5.W..; at nom itches'sd up for about a quarter
ta en hour, just giving us time to get a govdsobeervation of the
latitude, which 1',7e0,1 luny well with -the latitude by account.—
At that time we supposed ourselves, by our reckoning, to be 90
Lilies front Cape Race:.
'• At six in the evening. having ran about (*miles. since noon,
and finding the fog still continued, we hauled out tour points,
iounding to have steered S.E. During the night, about half-
vast seven oZclack. all hands being en deck, breakers were re-
)sorted to be wdieadt the ship was instr why hauled to the wind,
but not being able to clear the danger on that tack. we endea-
voured to no, tote vessel ; but from the heavy sea, and whilst ill
racy. herstern took the breakers. and she immediately fell. broad.
solo us,, the sea beating completely over her s the masts were
immediately cut away, with the view of lightening the vessel. As
well as affording a bridge to save die crew, but without success
is either point• for in a few moments she bilged. at which time
there did not appear the slightest hope of raring a man. 't he
cutter was launched ever the gangway. but iiremediately sunk.
" • man attempted with a lean-line to swinvon eltor-a but the
.earwig setting strong to the northward he wee nearly drowned in
t:te attempt. The only hope remained in the gig he jolly bout
having,been washed away). which was hitinclut. from the tore-
•casrle, with the boatwain and leaddines a twiny suit washed her
u;.on a rock not communicating with the mrin, and was dashed
.mpreces, and the line carried away, but the boe'swa,n succeeded
in scrambling up the rock with a few tinhorns ie
•••Triesen at this moment making heavy breaches over the ship,
the crew were on the forecastle hanging by ropes, and each sue.
wetting wave.appearing to bring with it total ueseruction, when 44
tremendous sea lifted her quarter over the rock on wilich she
fait struck. and close to another. comparatively sheltered. The
tire/wale, hitherto the monesheitered pint of ahe ship, wes now
a inandoned for the rucks all (tope of the vessel being gone it was
oleter mined, if pessible.toquit her. The 'maple severally stepped
tom the poop w the rock, in attempting which a few (among
was Lieut. Stanley). were washed away, and dasheal with tremen •
imendous force against the wreck.
" Cantain Baker (after seeing the whole of the crew on the
rock) tiolowed but it was now tound that the rock was insulated,
.and that die rising title would cover it. The boatswain observing
this, swam with time piece of litre in his possession, end. in spite
or the surf, succeeded in reaching it. .and coming opposite :he
rock on which we Wert; thicw the line acres i it wee found just
lung enough for one to hold it on the main, and one on the ruck
at' arm's length; by this hiding rosistance bet out of So who
landed on the rock succeeded in gaining the main. and it i, pro-
bable all would, had not a man and a woman attempted to cross
orgt ther. which took the line out of the man's hand on tire rock,
.i.nd in the attempt to get.it buds it was washed away. Captain
Baker was repeatedly regime !..c1 to cross, but every time resolutely
ionised, and throughout the whole unfortunate occurrence, to
to save the lives of the crew appeared to be his principal object—
regardless of his own.
•• Every instant the water rose and seal increased, when the
cuter, and ship's crew used every endeavour, by tying handker-
chief's together, to make another holdfests but, praising too
anon, we were soon otter reluctantly compelled to abandon Mein,

Entortunate suffners. At this time we laund the frame of the
wreck broken in halves, with the ater p:rt 'Mown on the top of

t-mitt's, we repatret to a hint at we broad there, weer having in
s AM searched to the body of Capt tin Baker, and then ortmeeded,
'.::era little refreshment, to 'frepa.s.y. The only reason of so
wetly becalming saved was .'rout the great order and discipline
or the crew. Every man's exertions appeared not to be tor his
sun life, but for the general gut. I. lied any confusion prevailed
t.,ere ;ar little doubt but few would have remerned to tell the tale
The end of those felt upon the rock was truly o.ello.
t rely ; for it is probable they might have remained lo.lf on hour
ai:eo the line was gone, the tide rising rapidly, and their r .ovintlee
tee-a proaching nearer every instant.
• Captain Baker died pmeliatty regretted by both ofHcers and
crew ; his uniform kindness and attention to every intlividua, on
l Dead, during the whole of his command. made a deep impres-
sion, and it will be long before the memory of him and his un-
timAy fore will be diked. from the memory of his survivors.

who have uu means of knowing the circumstance,
tialt there are from one hundred to one hundred and
fitly _thousand English and Irish people of property
living in different parts of the Continent. Whole
towns are absolutely peopled .by them. In Paris,
Cie Dukes of Hamilton, with the Earls of Stair
and Fife, at an expenco to themselves, or rather to
their country, of 100,0001. per annum, lead the
fashion to about 20,000 English persons, of a mixed
character, at Versailles. Mr. Robert Williams, the
member fie Carearvonshire, with his numerous and
ta:ri4lle family, and several titled persons, have, for
s-ohe years, taken up their residence in the neigh-
Li,tirhuod of Geneva. There are 1600 English
with the Duke of Leeds at their head, the
lilarchionciss of Bute, and many distinguished nobles
as faith sexes, at Rome. Lord Byron is at Venice.
Lord Montfiird has lived some time near Bourdeoux,
surrounded by about '2OOO, one half of whom are
small fundholders, an•l one half Irish, of 3001. to
4501. per annum, when they can get their

4000, who pride themselves upon their tinnily con-
nexions in the United liingdoin. At Boulogne these
arc 6000 English, 4000 of whom are entitled to
seine compession, being half-pay oflieers, who can-
not live without wine. Prince Leopold vet y natu-
rally expends his 50,0001. a year among his German
cousins. At Brussels, the Engli.di and Irish con-
regine, and there is scarcely a town or village in
France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Italy,
is which they are nob to be found.
