A CURIOUS BEQUEST.—The following notice was
lately posted on the doors of the parish church at
Holsworthy, Devon:—" Extract from the will of the late
Hey. Thomas Meyrick :—' I give and bequeath the sum of
£lOO in trust to pay the dividends annually to the church-
wardens of the parish of Holsworthy, who shall openly
give £2 10s. to the young single woman resident in that
parish who is under 30 years of age and generally esteemed
by the young as the most deserving and the most hand-
some and the most noted for her quietnns and attendance
at church ; and on the next day shall openly give the re-
mainder of the dividend to any spinster not under 60 years
of age, and noted for the like virtues and not receiving
parochial relief.' The churchwardens will be glad to re-
ceive the names of any persons who consider themselves
entitled to either of the above bounties before the 19th
instant:"

LOSS OF LIFE ON THE THAmts.—On Wednesday
morning an accident, by which two persons lost their
lives, happened on the river off Limehouse. The Odin, a
Swedish brig, arrived for the purpose of being taken into
dock for repairs. Wells, a waterman, and one of the crew,
named Abrie Dorn, were engaged in a small boat along-
side the brig. The pilot gave orders for the man on
deck to lower the large anchor. The man, not knowing
that the small boat was immediately under the bows,
let go the anchor, which fell upon the unfortunate men,
crushing them, it is bolievee, and sending the boat to the
bottom of the river. After a few minutes the boat came to
the surface of the water, but the two poor fellows never
rose again:. •
