WOODCOCK.—There was seen on Saturday

Honourable the Earl of MottAy, in the forests of Darn-
way, a woodcock with four young ones. —Elgin Courier.

Information was given at Marlborough-street
office on Thursday, by Madame VESTRIS, of a robbery in
her residence by her footman. It appeared that, after
driving her to Drury-lane in a cabriolet, he left her to re-
turn as she pleased, contrary to orders. On arriving
home she missed her purse, containing three 101. notes,
28 sovereigrs, and some jewellery, from her drawing-room,
to which she learned he obtained admittance in her
absence, under some pretext. He has not yet been
discovered.

MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A MOTHER
A•ND FIER Two CHILDREN FROM STARVATION.—Three
fellow creatures have perished in this neighbourhood, the
victims of hunger and cold. A poor woman with her two
children, driven by griping poverty to seek that sustenance
which nature wants, by begging for it amongst the humane
and charitable, i■ making her way from one village to
another, had to pass through a tract of unsheltered bog,
about six or seven miles to the north-east of Killarney;
in the centre of which they were found by a countryman
on Sunday morning, lifeless corpses, having in all proba.
bility been so, since the preceding Friday, which was
here a lather severe and bitter day. They were strangers
here, and were not recognized, save as having been seen
during the previous week begging from Louse to house in
the usual manner, and it is supposed that the poor woman,
exhausted from previous suffering and want, had not suffi-
cient strength to make her way in the tempestuous
weather through the bleak moor, but sunk down
mid-way, to rise DO more. The poor little innocents
who accompanied her, being out of view of any house
and unable to act of themselves, sat down with
her, and night overtaking them, they perished
together. The spectacle presented by the clay-cold group,
and the conviction to the beholder of the manner of their
death, was irresistibly affecting. The mother of the little
family, a rather young woman of mild and interesting fea-
tures, lay extended on her back at full length as if asleep ;
supported in her right arm, on which it rested, lay the
body of her younger child, a female about four years old,
and with its face downwards ; across the parent's knees, as
if embracing them, lay a fine boy apparently of the age of
eight years. The scene was indescribably moving and
heart-rending. Their habiliments were wretched and
ragged, denoting extreme destitution and poverty of no re-
cent date; the scanty and miserable attire of the whole
three being scarcely sufficient to give shelter to a single
limb. What a crying and•cruel sin that some parochial
refuge is not afforded in cases of such utter and helpless
deprivation ! An inquest being held, and all the circum-
stances investigated as far• as possible, the Jury returned a
verdict of " Died of cold and exhaustion."-- Tralee
Mercury.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—It is this week
our painful duty to record the death of five individuals,
occasioned by the upsetting of a boat belonging to his
Majesty's ship Britomart. About one o'clock on Wed-
nesday afternoon the First Lieutenant of the Britornart,
lying in the Sound, ordered Mr. CHARLKS FRANILYN, a
volunteer of the second class, of that ship, and son of Mr.
THOMAS FRANKLIN, spirit-merchant, Fore-street, to
proceed in the second gig, a vessel about twenty-two feet
in length, with the boat's crew, to Longroom Point, to
bring the officers on shore off to dinner. Between three
and four DANIEL BIRK, a private of the 73d regiment,
stationed on Drake's Island, saw what he took to be a
boat, apparently in distress, near Mount Edgcumbe, but
shortly after he saw several things floating on the water,
and he called another soldier of the same regiment to see
what it was, and they supposed they were casks, the whole
of which disappeared about twenty minutes aftewards,with
the exception of the largest object. Ten minutes after this
they saw a boat making towards it, which afterwards
proved to belong to the Breakwater light vessel, in which
were two risen, who observed, in their way to the vessel, a
hat floating in the water at the easternsost end of the
bridge ; they afterwards saw a boat full of water near the
eastern end of the island, with her sail across the stern
and her mast over the starboard side. They made to-
wards her, and on reaching her found a man with his feet
and knees in the belly of the boat, his head and shoulders
hanging over the middle into the water ; they immedi-
ately took the man, who was quite dead, into their own
boat, and taking the ship's gig in tow proceeded to the
Undaunted, lying in Barnpool, where they delivered the
body. The officer in command immediately sent a boat
for the surgeon of the ship, who was on shore, and about
a quarter of an hour after that gentleman came on board,
when every means was resorted to for the recovery of the
body without effect. This poor man whose name is W.
Gum, is the only one yet picked up. An inquest was
held on his body last evening at the workhouse, Stone-
house, when a verdict of "Found Drowned, but by what
means not known," was returned. Mr. FRANKLYN'S
family are thrown into the greatest distress. —Devonport
Telegraph.
