him to surrender., and at the same time presented a
pistol to his breast t this rather' alarmed him; but,
he could not thi,nk the Prisoner in earnest,•being a
mere boy, and therefore asked him what. he meant?
The Prisoner replied;" your money' immediatoly,"
which induced the witness to take out of his pocket
his canvass bag,-containing two one-pound notes, a
seven-shilling piect; .and. two'dollara; and deliver
it to the Prisoner who',.'when he- took it,. said. he
Was a very poor young nary,- and that he had no

a person skilful in the artliiis of India,- having been
in disgrace With JOHN King of Portugal,
.aOll be-

solved to carry the• first news of it to him. Having
obtained a copy of the plan, he set- out front
India in a bark of 19 feet and a half long; 9 broad,
and four and a half deep, with three 'Portuguese,
two others„ and his own slaves. He pretended
that he was going to- KaMbaya, but when he was
out at sea, made known his intention to.go to
Lis-
bon ;. p.t which they were , all astonished. Being
overcome by -fair words, they proceeded on their
way, till finding themselvereduced to distress, the
slaves agreed to kill BoTerl.o) but after killing a
servant, they were put to death themselves. With',
the four who remained BOTELLO held on his course,
doubled the southern Cape of Africa, and at length
arrived At Lisbon, where the• Bark was immediately
burnt, that no man might see it was possible to.per-
forni that voyage. in so small a Vessel. The King
was greatly pleased with,the news, and restored Bo-
TELLO to his favour, withcit any other reward for -
so daring an-adventure. -
A Coroner's Inquest was held yOsterday at the An-

strapped on behind :the carriage; containing the
whole of the town wardrobe of his' Lordship and
another Nobleman; the servants being on the 'dicky.,

,some Un-

On Sunday niori-ling an alarming occurrence took
'place at the Old Church; Liverpool, during the
time of divine worship, which s.va,;, providentially.)

young lad, about 16 years old, fell a vi6lim to the

On Saturday last, near the head of Jamaica-s+.reet,
Glasgow, a very large log of Wood slipped.usidenly
off' a cart, and fell upon two: children that were
'standing near it. The elde,''a fine bdy of seven
years of age, was dreadfully crushed, and lived only
a few minutes ;, the leg of the youngest .was broken,
but he is not otherwise much hurt. The father of
the boy who was killed is employed in the Glass-
house ;- and what adds to • the distress of this me-
lancholy accident, his mother was in 'labour when-

Thursday morning as a county waggon Was
passing through Brentford, a young mati of genteel
appearance walked after it, crying out' that he heard
'the•cries- of his wife, and laid hold, of one of the
,wheels. The waggoner conceiving that he intended
to rob . the waggon, gave him in custody to a con-
stable., On being- searched,:papers were found upon
him which discovered some of his con nedions, who
are respeEtable people in the West of England. Being
found to be insane, he was Placed under the care of
the Parish Officers till his friends are made ae-

.7 Oh Monday last -a melancholy accident happened
at Bainton, in Yorkshire :--Four labourers having
got a waggon load - of wood out of the 'plantations
there, belonging to John Grimston, Esq. three of
them were riding on the top of the load with a
little boy of about six ,years of age, son to.: one
of them; on, turning out of the. plantation upon
the turnpike road, thsct waggon was thrown over, 'and
three men and the boy bulied in the wood ; the.
Jritri were all killed, but the boy Miraculously
escaped unhurt, and having crept from amongst the
wood; ran to the nearest town, about half a mile
off, and alarmed the inhabitants, who made all baste
to extricate the unfortunate men ; the driver was
laid under the. horse, with a considerable quantity
of Wood upon his breast, and but for the timely as-
sistance of ,the people, who were informed of the
accident by the child, must have shared the fate of
the three unhappy sufferers, who have all left fa-
lathent their fate.o--On Tuesday morning
an Inquest- was :taken on the bodies before GEO4GE

le&ed, however, in his,long praCtice, only one in
stance of this kilrd. It vas the case of Mr. Green-

his-father's death, when he, was seized with a sudden
indisPosition, had -a glass of warm brandy-and water
administered to him by his brother, in eonsequence
