The following letter, from the master of the Norna, trading
between Lerwick and ieith, was received by a mercantile house
in Leith on Friday, dated Cromarty, March 7:—
" I left Lerwick, on the 4th current, and got about seventy
miles to the southward of Fair Isle, when the wind went
round to south. 'We still persevered and got into the
Moray Frith, about 11 a.m. yesterday, when it came to blow a
most tremendous gale. We and many more were obliged to
put in here as a place of safety. There are about 12 sail come
here last night, all southerly bound. The greater part of our
cargo consists of chromate (42 tuna 12 cwt.), nine horses, and
about 26 passengers, the greater part steerage.
" There are melancholy news from Shetland ; two vessels
are totally lost, only one of both crews saved ; the one a Hain•
burgher, laden with linen, some pieces of gin, a large assort.
ment of cotton stockings, lace, made shirts, some few bags of
grain ;in short, a very valuable cargo. This vessel was wreee.
ed at Haroldswick, Unst, the other wrecked at Whalsey, all
hands lost, wood-laden.

" A sloop called the Newhall, belonging to Mr. Hay, was in
Norway for a cargo of boats, &c. ; I fear she is lost. It is re•
ported, that boats have been seen floating about the Isle of
Feder, and that part of a small vessel inis been found between
Yell and Fetlar. The poor Ann Eliza was never more heard
of, nor ever will, I doubt."

TODACCO.—It appears by the official return 4
which have just been printed, that the quantity of tobacco and
snuff in England, Scotland, and Ireland, on the 10th of October
last, was—Unmanufactured tobacco, 1,031,7451b5. ; manufac-
tured tobacco, 1,018,29816. ; snuff, 545,4661 b. The quantity
upon which duty was paid from the sth Jan., 1824, to the sth
Jan. 1825, was 16,931,6721 b.

Snot:KING A CCI DENT.—About eight o'clock
this morning a fine boy about two years old, ki.:z.•;.
loning to Mrs. KEANE, of No. 12, Acorn-street;
Bishopsgate-street, in the absence of its mother
got playing with the fire, and while amusing
itself with lighting pieces of paper, the flames com.
municated to its dress.. Its cries brought the
inmates of the adjoining house to its assistance,
who found it stretched on the floor, with the
whole of the lower part of its body burnt black,
and its face and neck covered with blisters. Its
clothes Were almost entirely consumed, so that
the fire was easily extinguished ; but such %was.
the extent of injury it had sustained, that, not-
withstanding every care, it expired within an
hour afterwards.

Most MELANCHOLY EVENTS.—A few days since
about twelve of the Students of the University of Cam-
bridge went up the river Cam, in as many canoes, to the dis-
tance of four or five miles, and landed at Granchester.-,-
After remaining there a short time, the party reinibari e
when two of the young Gentlemen (named ryren and Fiei.i)
incautiously getting into the same canoe, it unfortunately up' et,
and lamentable to state, both the interesting youth's instantly
sunk never to rise again alive. Their loss is deeply deplored
throughout the University, each bearing a most amiable and ex-
cellent character. A Coroner's Inquest sat on the bodies on Mon-
day last. Verdict, "Accidentally drowned by the upsetting of a
boat."—A similar shocking accident occurred at Oxford about
the same time. The circumstance is thus related :—" Mr. Dow-
ning, of Lincoln Csllege, was rowing a skiff up the Charwed,
in a very narrow part of the river, where he was met by a skiff
on the return, and through some mismanagement, the boats
struck. Mr. Downing, being unpreparee, was precipitated from
the boat, and being unable to swim, v as unfortun ttely .drown-
ed. lam sorry to say, this is the third accident which has oc-
curred through skiffing during the last three years. It is worthy
of remark, that they have all happened in the same term every
yt ar."

EXTRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE.—The town
and neighbourhood of B— have been kept in
a state of considerable ferment during the last
week, in consequence of the sudden demise of
the wife of a principal manufacturer of that
place, under very suspicious circumistaticeq. The
case, as related to us, is simply this. On Tuesday
morning week the husband of the unfortunate
deceased, whose habits have been described to
us as being extremely irregular, returned home
after having absented himself the whole night,
and having evinced his quarrelsome disposition,
by complaining of every thing on the breakfast
table, so far provoked his unfortunate wife, as to
induce her to remark, that it would have been
better if he had staid to breakfast where he
had passed the night. For this speech she
received a violent blow on the head, which laid
I her senseless on the floor, and ahout half an
hour afterwards, according to the statement
of our informant she was a corpse. The
husbandr, left the house a few minutes
after he had given the blow in question.
for the purpose of procuring a horse to accom-
pany the procession of the High Sheriff, and
on his return was met by one of his sera
vants, who told him of her mistress's death.
Dead rejoined he, '.then what will become
of me.' Notwithstanding the notoriety of these
facts, a Coroner's Jury returned a verdict of—
Died by the visitation of god. As we can.only
state these circumstances as a common report, we
withhold for the present the names of the parties,
