OGLANDER, in his
,Memoirs of the Isle of
Wight, written in 1700, gives us the following record of
a blessing formerly enjoyed by that favoured spit. "
have heard," says our author, "and partly know it to be
true, that not only heretofore war there no lawyer nor
attorney in the Wight, but in Sir GEORGE CARY'd time,
1588, an attorney coming to settle there was, by his corn-
mend, and with a pound of candles hanging at his breech,
lighted, with bells about his legs, hunted out of the
island."

It is said to be highly probable that the House
of Commons will postpone the consideration of electit.n
petitions until after Christina.. This course was adopted
upon the list occasion of a similar nature that occurred,
and it is therefore inferred that, for the convenience of
the House, it will also be pursued in the present instance.
STEAM-BOAT EXPLOSION IN AMERICA.—

(Ftom the Boston Gazette of September 14.)—A Cor-
respondent in New York lies sent us the following di.trese-
ing intelligence :—" The steam-boat United Stales,
which left this city at four -o'clock this afternoon, fur New
Haven, burst its boiler on its passage, opposite the Persi•
tentiary on Blackweli's Island, a few miles from Curleer's
Hook. In the alarm and terror of the moment, six or
seven of the passengers awl crew instantly jumped over-
board, three of whom were picked up afterwards, and
two, Mr. iltaaat CLARK, a merchant in New Haven, and
ADFRRD Maaotr, a coloured man, were drowned,—
Another passenger, Mr. Voocrzß, sprung into the water,
and was taken up badly scolded and otherwise injured,
and every attention paid to him that his distressed condi-
tion required. Three of the hands were seriously @raided,
all of whom were carried to the hospital on their arrival
one of them, CHARLES Bot.r.r.s, has since died, but the
others, it is ,said, are. likely to recover. Mr. IllaißY
SHELLY, of Guildford county. is badly injured, but it is
supposed not dangerously. There were about 25 pas-
seugers on board. Captain • Exacatta states that the
boiler contained but twelve inches cud a half of steam at
the time of the explosion. He was standing in the bow of
the boat, and was slightly-scalded.' The steam=boat is
110 mud: damaged, awl the cause of the melancholy acci-
dent is unknown.--I'. S. We have since Itaxneel that 12
hats were pi,kol up, four of which are recognised. Mr.
