We regret to state that it falls to our lot, in
the present publication, to relate the particulars of a most
heart-rending occurrence that took place on the Flumber,
shout seven miles from this town, ou Saturday last. At
about half-past eleven o'clock on the morning of the day
in question, the Arundel sloop, from Goole to Deal, laden
with fifty tons of coals, while riding off White Cliff, in a
tremendous gale of wind, struck on a sand bank. The
crew, consisting of the mate and one man, together with
the wife of the Captain, were precipitated into the water.
Although several eteam•packeta were within a short
distance of the wreck, one only, the Hero, plying between
Hull and Gainsborough, was enabled to approach near
enough to render any assistance. By the exertions of
Captain EnwAens, of the Hero, the man and mate were
picked up in a complete state of exhaustion. Blvd. Foas-
TER, the wife of the master, was seen once to hold up her
hands for ass stance, and in a few seconds sunk to rise no
more. This dreadful occurrence took place in the pre-
sence of all the passengers of the Hero, who were com-
pletely paralyzed at witnessing a seene so truly awful.
Mr. FORSTER, the husband of the Inspires woman (who,
to add to the melancholy catastrophe, was, we understand,
in the family way), had left the sloop to transact some
business at Goole. The two unfortunate survivors had
every attention paid them on board the steam-packet, and
were, by the usual applications, soon recovered from their
exhausted state. Great praise is due to the Captain and
Proprietors of the steam-packet, three of whom were OR
board at the time, together with the passengers and the
crew, for their humane exertions on this melancholy oc-
casion. An inquest was held yesterday at liersle, by
CHARLES 'WHITTAKER, Esq., Coroner, on the. body of
the unfortunate deceased, when a verdict was returned its
conformity with the circumstances related as above.—

MOLECULAR lATTRACTIONS.—Attractions
may be primarily distributed into two Glasses; one con-
sisting of those which exist between the molecules or con-
stituent parts of bodies, and the other between bodies
themselves. The former are Pometimes called, for dis-
tinction, moiecular or atomic attractions. Without the
agency of molecular forces, the whole face of nature would
be deprived of variety and beauty ; the universe would he
a confused heap of material atoms dispersed through space,
without form, shape, coherence, or motion. Bodies
would neither have the forms of solid, liquid, or air;
heat and light would no longer produce their wonted
effects; organised beings could not exist; life itself, as con-
nected with body, would be extinct. Atoms of mutter,
whether distant or in juxta-position, would have no ten-
dency to change their places, and all would be eternal still-
ness and rest. If, then, we are asked for a proof of the
existence of molecular forces, wo way point to the earth
and to the heavens : we may name every object which can
he seen or felt. The whole material world is one great
result of the influence of these powerful agents. —Dr.
