MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.--GALWAY, TOES-
DAY EVENlNG.—Yesterday morning a most calamitous cir-
cumstance occurred in one of the islands of Arran, by which
15 unfortunate men have been swept from time into eter-
nity in a single
when moment. All of them were fishing with
lines on a elf, , notwithstanding that the weather was
calm, a sudden wave broke over the cliff on which they were
standing, and washed them out into the deep. Only four of
the bodies have been found up to last night. Many of the
poor fellows have left large families to mourn over their
irreparable loss. A subscription has been already set on
foot, and it is hoped a large sum will be raised for them, now
that. Galway is so crowded with the nobility and gentry of
the United Kingdom.
PLYAr;TJTII.---LOSS OF LIFE.--On 'Thursday morn-
ing, about half-past two, a poor woman named Blagdon, and
her two children, were suffocated in bed. The husband of
the unfortunate woman is a briekmaker, and being at work
in the night it is supposed that his e. ife must have placed a
lighted candle on the chair near the bed. 14 on the neigh-

We have already seen some very fine heads sent for preserva-

(Sutherlandshire), on Saturday, the 7th, Mr. Ross, of Cro-

rifle. The second stag had a very handsome wiclti. head
