A shocking affair happened on Thursday last, at
Dowgate chalk-pit, near \Veiling, Bucks. Fourteen
Men were at 'Work in' the pit, which is 100 feet deep,
when an impending cliff. gave way, and buried se-
yen of them, with two carts and four horses.' Three

whorkwere Unhurt, and the other dead ; and three
others were extricated in the course. of .the"night;

proteraed by a cart, and is unhurt. The horses, al-
though rtot killed, ,were rendered ns'cleSs.
'fear SToest.—Yonk., Jax.7.---The fall of snow
on Tuesday was accompanied by a strong wind,
weeett, otl WottootHitty rolls to 0 otoot-44444,. -.‘orro,
such as has seldom been witnesses here. it ebethmed
with little intermission until Thursday evening, snide
which a thaw has set in. Between Beverley and
Market Weightoo, the fall of 'snow .was .so great,
that the roads were again rendered impaSsable. rrhe
coaches which went from Hull on Tuesday, being
unable. to reach the latter place, were left upon .the
!UN. On Wednesday th'e mail bagir froM this city
to Hull were taken on horseback, and the guard was
four hour§ in 'travelling between Weighton and
Bisholiturton, a distance of between 7 and 8 miles.
indeed there, has been ,a general obartelion to all
the mails from the different parts of the Kingdom.
From every part of the east coast of thiscounty the da-
-magedone to the Shipping has been verfgreat..The
severity of the weather has been the occasion of the
loss of many lives, especially near Whitby, where Se-
veral persons have been found perished in the snow
in their return from market. Two men have befsb
ft:ond on the Moor, 'near Cock Moor Hall, in the
neighbourhood of .Scarborough, wily had perished
in the storm of,
,Saturday the 17th ult. They were
supposed to be father and son, but it'is net known
to where they belonged.
Several persons lost their lives one night last•week
in attempting to itturn.home from Whitby marker.
ChristopherSwales, a blackstnith, in Goatland, about
ten miles' froM Whitby, en his return, called upon
his ton .at.littights, who seeing his father determin-
ed to proceed an. his journey, undertook to aueona-
pany- him over ale 'most difficult part of .the road.—
Having travelled a few Miles; the old man grew so
faint, that his sett WAS under the necessity of taking.
hien upon his back. After enceuntering'the greatest
difficulties, they reached the end of Their journey,
but not 'before the father had suffered so severely
from the cold and fatigue, that he expired almost
immediately on entering the ,house. The, port was
also reduced to such a state of weakness by the ex-
ertions he had been compelled to,make, that hiti re-
covery was for some time doubtful. Another vic-
tim to the severity of the storm, was a young wo-
man of. the name of Sellers, likewise a resident in'
Goatland ; the most pressing itureaties of her friends
at Whitby could not prevail whh her ro stay the
night, her constant . reply being, that if she did not
go home, her mother would conclude that soMe-
thing,had happened to her. On the evening of the
Bth, she was found sitting upon the snow on the
moor, with ..her horse standing by her, mitt the. bri-
dle in her hand, nearly .perished to death ; hut on
taken to a farmhouse, site soon recovered.-.-

She must have been exposed to the severe.storrn not
loss than 30 hour;.---A farmer of Lisenon, ealied
Reuben Rodger, also rt turning iron; Whitby, lust
his life near Sealingdam, from the inclemency of tltte
weather : his body was found a kw days afterwards
under the' snow ; the .peOple.who discovered him
being drawn. to the spot by observing is stick placed
upright in the snow, whieh measure it appeais
the dectla,ied had adopted as a signal, Whpn: exhaust-
ed wimpy had Ueen compelled to resign the hopele.s
