DUBLIN, OcT. 6.

The follhv'ing very extraordinary- circtimstance
occurred on Sunday evening last, at the Richmond
Tavern, DawSiiiistreet :---Otte of the underwaiters-,
by attemptingAb swallow a piece of beef-steak, was
almost :instfttitly choaked. The circuiwtgnce
so sudden, and the event so melancholy, that •the
whole neighbourhood was immediately aLvirleci.—
Surgeon CRAMPTON, who lives opposite theTvern,
was consequently resorted to, who, on ex:nnining
the body, found the vital principle completely sus-
pended, and with great promptness and,preAence of
mind made an incision in the win(.'.pipe, and intro-
ducing a quill, continued to inflate the lungs by
blowing into them, until symptoms of rcturnirg
life did not a little astorii,h the appalled spetators.
We are happy to say the poor man is in a fair way
of recovery.
On Saturday foiir men were committed to the
County_ of.,Limerick Jail, under a military escort;
for running away \vita Miss HONOR. % SIn'EIIY titan
'her fatlier's.house,' at Donamon, in that county, on
the Ilth ult.

A plan has lately been submitted to the French
Government by M. FOUCHE, a merchant of 1-1.:1 re,
the objea of which is to supply France with colonial
produce, through the means of a society, to be es-
tablished under the patronage of °Overt-mien% The
projeeor proi,oses to build eightvessels, after a p,',r-
Orfllr rhoL,?l, wbich ate to-be sent out ar.ned tolhe

Windward Islands ; and he observes, that if oat of
these eight only three vessels should return in, S-ItetY,
it would produce a clear profit of 15 per eel' t flat
that if, 6y an nnexpeCted stroke of good fortone,
the whole eight should be successful, it would pto-
duce per cent, Govern:)),!;,;, •!
is
said, a
.hasdv :'a;')'‘pni,. d of
20
ofo the plan, and tl shares,
which are 100 in number, at 10,000 francs eaen,
have been purchased with avidity.
A fire which broke out in tue dwelling-house of
Mrs. fitighes;t-at Halstead, Essex, on Sunday tiglit
last, had been nearly attended with the (nos: tatil
consequences -to the neighbourhood. The brother
of Mrs. H. it appears, had been engagd iu making
fireworks, and some of them having by accident
caught fire, their explosion soon set the room in a
blaze. The knowledge of a barrel of gunpowder
being in the house, so alarmed the neighbouring .n-
-habitants, that they fled in every direction, and- no
attempt was made for some time to extinguish the
flames. At length, an individual rushed into the
flaming edifice, and, at the imminent risk of hie
life, brought out the, barrel, which he had scarcely
effeeted when the roof fell in. The premises and
furnituro were consumed.

. On Tuesday Rickets, -the celebrated 'pedestrian,
undertook, for a wager of five guineas, to run seven-
teen miles in two hours, which he peffortned in log
minutes. He started from the mile-stone above the
Cow-herd's, 'on the Common, and ran to the firs:
mile-stone, near Southampton, and back, till accom-
plished.—He has also undertaken, for too
to run 20 miles in two hours, and will attempt it
50011.
