ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, &c.

On Friday last as Mr. Byne, of Stepney, was angling for fish;
in Bow Creek, below Blackwall, standing near the brink, he
was taken in a fit, fell into the stream, and sunk ; fortunately
for hint, some watermen being near at hand, he was soon picked
up, and used every means in their power to recover hint of his
fit, and also to discharge the Water he had imbibed : in two hours
time he was enabled to walk about. He handsomely rewarded
his deliverers for their humane attention.
Wednet4day morning a Gentleman of the name of Stuart, re-
siding in Brompion Crescent, Chelsea, walked to Bromptsn4
row, and called for a coach from the stand. The coachman re-
fused to take him, when _he immediately returned home, tind
coon after slits' ith a pistol, and instantly expired.
At Union Hall, on Friday, a genteel young woman, nattett
Dogarty, made her appearance to answer to a summons preferred
against her by the Rev. .1. N iven, by whose statement it ttp-
penred that the defendant, on Sunday last, during his perform-
ing divine service at Vauxhall Chapel, attempted to interrupt
him. The above charge having been clearly proved by the evi-
dence of many respectable Witnesses, the prisoner was held to
bail, in conjunction with two sureties of 55/. each, at the next
General Sessions, which are t►► be held at Horseanonger Lane.-

Ton vnr. nr.svonsxtost or Sicor.---Among all the evils
attendant upon humanity none are more. to be lamented thia
those that deprive us of jhe free exercise of our outward facul-
ties, and particularly that of sight. A remedy for the removal,
of that defect in sight, ought to obtain the Patronage of the British
Public, that it may be freely used among the lower classes who
are unable to purchase so inestimable a blessing as that of the
removal ofdefecis in the sight. Mr. and Mrs. William', No. 99,
Hatton Garden, have the pleasure of informing the Public, that
they have in their possession an unparalleled remedy for all dis-
orders attendant upon the deficiency in loss of sight. They have
testimonials sufficient in their possession to place its efficacy and
value beyond doubt. Mr. and Mrs. Williams attend at No. 99,
Hatton Garden, from ten to twelve, and from two till five,
every day : and upon notice, attend Ladies and Gentlemen at_
their own houses.—They always apply the remedy in person.--
N. B. Mr. and Mrs. Williams have gratuitously distributed the it
Medicine for the last four years ; and have now been advised to,
form a General Dispensary, to be supported by Subscription,
that all Classes may have the opportunity of recovering the
perfect sight. To this humane institution Mr. and Mrs. 'lt
beg to direct the attention of the Public.
