The Sun.
London, England, 1836-08-31 00:00:00

An inhabitant of the village of Ceinova, on the
Peninsula of Hela, near Dantsic, having been a been a long
time in the hands of the regular faculty for a complaint they
were unable to cure, called in a noted quack, named Kaminski.
This fellow, finding his nostrums fail, pretended that the
patient was bewitched. He caused all the poor old women of
the place to be collected in the house of the invalid, pointed
out one of them as the witch, and commanded her to take off
the spell. The poor creature, of course, denied the accusa-
tion, which she persisted in doing, notwithstanding she re-
ceived a severe bastinado from the doctor and his patient. It
was then determined to put her to the old ordeal by water,
and throw her into the sea. Terror induced her to promise
to effect a cure; she required a space of 12 hours. This was
granted, but at the end of the time she declared it was out of
her power to do what was commanded ; and, consequently,
after beinr, again beaten, she was cast into the water. As she
struggled hard for her life, she was thrust under by long poles,
and it is said even stabbed by Kaminski, and in the end drowned.
The perpetrators of this act of barbarism have been arrested
and conducted to Dantsic.—French Paper.
STORM.—ST. PETERSBURGII, AUG. 20.—0 n the
29th of July, at four in the afternoon, a dreadful storm visited
the town of Charcers and the environs. The wind tore up
trees by the roots, and unroofed houses ; the rain fell in tor-
rents, and the sky became so dark that the largest print could
not be read; at the same time a tremendous hail shower, the
stones as large as hen's eggs, fell, and being driven horizontally
by the south-west wind, destroyed in a moment all the panes of
glass in its course. ,000 sth,olpstanßesoiNiveeirreiabnrogklasensicnotulide

through. In all the streets there were houses without windows,
and the rain poured into the rooms. A girl, 10 years old, was
killed in the street, and some persons wounded. As the storm
drove the people into their houses, few accidents occurred in
the town.

Thursday morning the follT,ving extraordinary dis-
covery was made of the deaths of John and Mary Willowby,
man and wife, residing in Garrett-lane, near the Iron Mills,
Wandsworth. They resided in Wandsworth a number of
years, and were respected for their industry, having brought up
a family of nine sons and daughters. About a wee since they
proceeded to Carshalton, seven miles from Wandsworth, for
the purpose of harvesting. Wednesday evening they returned,
and finding themselves unwell retired to bed, when, on one of
their daughters calling them in the morning, they were both
discovered dead by the side of each other in bed. The hus-
band was in his 64th year, the wife 65.
The last of the balloon races for the season, if such
they may be called, where the parties have not the power to
slacken or accelerate their progress, took place yesterday
evening at Vauxhall. The gardens were crowded with spec-
tators. At ten minutes past six the balloons, after much
pitching and rolling, were released, and they arose " majesti-
cally slow before the breeze," Mr. and Miss Green being in
one and Mr. W. Green and a passenger being in the other.
The machines moved in a south-easterly direction, and it was
supposed they would descend about Croydon.
At Nantes, in the South of France, a few days ago,
the guillotine being out of repair, not a carpenter in the place
would give his assistance, even though a large reward been
at last proposed to induce them to work. The French Papers
recommend this example to be generally followed, as one
means, when all others fail, of putting a stop to capital
punishment.
Horse-stealing seems to be in very general operation
throughout all the provinces ; in Wished' two were stolen
last week, and there are ft-Av places which have escaped the
depredations of these villains. A correspondent says,
" Having been robbed of a favourite hackney, I caused a stout
iron-bar to be so fixed across the stable door that' no horse
could be taken out while it was up, and it was impossible to
get it down without going first up to the groom's sleeping
room. The contrivance is very simple, and its efficacy has
been tested by the fact, that whilst the horses of my neigh-
bours were nightly stolen my steed remained secure."
ENGLISH SUNSIIINE.—A Neapolitan, whose no-
tions of the foggy atmosphere in London seem exaggerated,
thus accosted Lablache on his return from a two years' en-
gagement in London :—" How is it possible you can remain
in a country so long without seeing the sun ?" " Caro amico,"
replied Lablache, pulling out a purse full of gold ; " ecco it

THE LATE BALLOON ASCENT.—Mrs. Graham's
senses have completely returned, and reasonable hopes may be
entertained of her recovery. The blow which occasioned the
concussion was received from the lower end of the spine, the
vertebral column communicating with and accounting fur it.
It is also evident, from the great dis-eolouration, and the little
paralysis that occurred, that the powerful muscles which cushion
the pelvis in a great degree softened the shock. The only
paralysis left is one of the right eyelid, which still falls over
and completely veils the oye. This circumstance gives her a
vacant and somewhat idiotic appearance, but this, as the eyelid
recovers its elevating power, will wear off. The vision of
this eye is yet confused and indistinct.
Yesterday morning, shortly after five o'clock, an in-
fant was picked up in Parliament-street, with its head com-
pletely flattened, and quite dead. It presented a most awful
sight, and was removed to the workhouse to await a coroner's
inquest. It is supposed to have been accidentally dropped
from one of the early coaches coming into London.
