SIIIPWRECK.—A sloop, apparently about sixty
tons burthen, was upset in a sudden squall, about eight
o'clock, A. M., on the Ist inst., a short distance off Bull Bay,
about one mile west of Anilwch, and all hands on board
unfortunately perished. A schooner which was a short dis-
tance off (and had her topsail split in the same squall) was
seen endeavouring to render assistance to the capsized sloop,
but she had sunk out of sight ere the schooner could reach the
spot.
During the past week Ramsgate has been in a high
state of excitement, arising from the zealous exertions of the
corporators and anti-corporators to procure signatures to the
petitions for and against the grant of a charter of incorporation.
The weather during the past week has been more
stormy and boisterous than we have experienced during the
past winter. Both on Sunday and Tuesday a considerable
quantity of snow fell, which in the upper districts of the coun-
try accumulated to a considerable depth. No coaches arrived
here from the north on Tuesday, the road being completely
blocked up on Soutra Hill. The guard of the mail, we un-
derstand, by making a circuit of several miles on horseback,
succeeded with much difficulty in getting through. The road
is, however, now open, and required to be cut in several places
to a depth of 13 feet.—Kelso Chronicle.

FACTORY BILL.—A IVleeting was held at Bir-
mingham last Wednesday to petition Parliament in favour of
Mr. C. Hindley's proposed Bill.
INTERESTING !—" On Tuesday last," says the
Glasgow Herald, "an interesting scene was exhibited at
Levenside, such as the oldest inhabitants in that quarter have
seldom before witnessed." Then follows a lengthened de-
scription of how the squire's tenants were treated with meat
and drink, whilst those of a higher degree sat down to a
good dinner. All which was no doubt vastly interesting to
the guests, and is unquestionally worthy of public record.
The shoals of mackerel that have appeared in the
channel were never known to be so great at this early period
of the season as in the present year. The quantity taken is
very considerable, and they may be seen in abundance in all
the markets of Paris.—Paris Paper.
SIIOCKING DEATII.—A most melancholy instance
of sudden death from accidental burning, occurred at Taunton
on Wednesday last. The deceased was 23 years of age, and
had been married only ten weeks. It appeared, from the
evidence of the husband, that on Wednesday night, at about
ten o'clock, they had both knelt down at prayer, and the de-
ceased having expressed a wish to kneel near the fire, they did
so, and soon after her husband observed her dress burning.
He instantly endeavoured to extinguish the fire, and in doing
so he burnt both his hands so dreadfully, and became so horri-
fied, that he scarcely knew what he did ; but he left her, and
called aloud for assistance. Two neighbours were almost in-
stantly on the spot. They had great difficulty in entering the
room, it being full of smoke, the unfortunate woman standing
at the door, with her arms lifted upwards, and completely
enveloped in flames. The fire was soon extinguished, but,
dreadful to relate, the deceased expired in a few minutes, and
on raising the body the face presented a shocking spectacle.—
Bath Herald.
