LANCASTER, 'DEC. 26.

The following particulars respeaing the death
of Mary Rostron, as mentioned on Tuesday last,
have been transmitted to u.s Mary Rostron
was the daughter of. a poor woman, who lives
in a. small hut, near. to the shaft of a coal-pit,
in Lithe. Bolton. She was returning from her
work in the evening, and when within a few
yards of her mother's door, was heard to cry out, in
great distress, "-Main ! Main !'' Upon which, her
Mother ran out to her assistance, but could not see her
unfortunate' daughter, although the moon shone very
bright : However, to her sorrow, she heard some-
thing fall against the buckets, which were suspend-
ed about half way down the pit, and could perceive
the tremulous motion of the ropes. Whether this
poor creatute, on being alarmed by some person fol-
lowing her, ran into the pit, or she was forcibly
thrown into it, at present remains doubtful : Strong
suspicion, however, attaches to Bromiley, on ac-
count of -his being near the place when the melan-
choly event happened. We understand; that the
deceased had not kept company With any man, that
she was not suspected of being with child, nor
any was
there mark of violence upon her person, except
what might be occasioned by the fall. We Cannot
conceive that the mind of any human being could
beCome so depraved as to cause Mint() throw a poor
innocent girl into a coal-pit, no-less than eighty
yards deep; and we hope for the sake of humanity,
that when this affair is investigated in our court of
justice, it will appear to havebeen accidental, and
not the aEt "of a brutal murderer.

DANCING.The Academy for fashionable and
private Dancing at CoaChmaker's Hall,- Foster-lane,
Cheapside, under, the direetion . of-Messrs. HorKINs
and Son, continues, we find, to :receive that
respe&able patronage it has long merited ; and
where Ladies and-Gentlemen who have never ae-
quired this accomplishment; .or those who have IN t
obtained the present fashionable mode, may be
expeditiously instru&ed, in the most priv-a,te man-
ner, in all 'the elent and faShiOnable steps now
in, use_ to qualify them for the first ASsemblies;—
Young Ladies and Gentle Men are also taught every
fashionable Dance, and every attention exerted to
give the most elegant address. 'Every success is
therefore due to' so respelable an institution, which
.has for its object to cultivate and improve the graces
necessary to form and embellish the rising genera-
tion.

When men of ability, devote their time to public
good, it is reasonable to hope that a remuneration,
suited to the advantages reaped from their experi-
ence, will be the result. This has been happily, il-
lustrated in the case of Dr. Solomon, of Liverpool,
in the extensive .sale which the Anti-Impetigines
and Cordial Balm of Gilead have experienced, and
ircontestibly prove that they are the best Medicines

ever discovered for those disorders which ore now,
sl
become so prevalent in this Kingdom, and which,
for a length of time, have baffled the skill and droll
of the most eminent Physician,---we mean ScrophuW,
and Consumption. These Medicines
_have stood')
the test, and answered the expeaa ;ions- not only of!
a long private praaice, but also of tho.,e. who had
recourse to them since their being made public for
universal good. ,
