SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION.

WILSON, BLAIR, and J. WILSON, joiners, Kilmarnock,
Oct. 7 and 21, at one, at the Black Bull Inn, Kilmarnock.

Wednesday evening a horse belonging to Mr.
Hitchen, of the Fox and Hounds, Ramsden Crays, was
stolen from an adjoining field; but the thief attempting to
pass the Black Horse the animal became restive and threw
him. It happened that a son of the owner of the horse was
at the house at the time, and immediately recognised it to be
his father's property. Having secured the animal he obtained
the assistance of the constable, and took the rider, who proved
to be a lad named Walker, well-known in the neighbourhood.
When first asked where he was going he said he said he did
not know, bat afterwards declared that he only meant to ride
home, to which he thought there could be no objection. He
was on Friday committed for trial.
On Monday afternoon some boys, who were fishing
at the basin of the Regent's Canal, near the Wenlock-road,
Heaton, hooked up the body of a man, and, after some vain
efforts to drag it on shore, they ran off to the police-station of
the N division, in Robert-street to give information of the oc-
currence. Some constables then returned with them to the
spot, and the body, which proved to be that of a well-dressed
young man, was conveyed to the Wenlock Arms. In the poc-
kets were found several shillings, besides various Spanish and
Portuguese coins, a silver watch, and a broken brass tobacco-
box, engraved "J. Morelli, 1835." He has since been identi-
fied as a Joung man, 23 years of age, named Morelli, who had
been employed as cook on board the Adelaide steamer, and it
appeared that he had been missing since last Wednesday. He
had lately obtained an engagement on very advantageous terms
as steward of a new steamer, but had disappeared, after a quar-
rel with some companions ; and it is supposed that in his irri-
tation he went and threw himself into the canal. Notice of
the circumstance was forwarded to the Coroner.

A FLOATING FARM YARD.—The following
sketch of a family floating down the Ohio on a raft is at once
highly graphic and characteristic of inland emigration in Ame-
rica:—To-day we have passed two large rafts, lashed together,
by which simple conveyance several families from New Eng-
land were transporting themselves and their property to the
land of promise in the western woods. Each raft was 80 or
90 feet long, with a small house erected on it, and on each
was a stack of hay, round which several horses and cows were
feeding, while the paraphernalia of a farm-yard, the ploughs,
waggons, pigs, children, and poultry, carelessly distributed,
gave to the whole more the appearance of a permanent resi-
dence than of a caravan of adventurers seeking a home. A
respectable-looking old lady, with spectacles on her nose, was
seated on a chair at the door of one of the cabins, employed in
knitting; another female was at the wash-tub; the men were
chewing their tobacco with as much complacency as if they
had been in the land of steady habits; and the various avoca-
tions seemed to go on with the steadiness of clockwork. In
this manner our western emigrants travel at slight expense.
They carry with them their own provisions ; their raft floats
with the current, and honest Jonathan, surrounded with his
scolding, squalling, grunting, lowing, and neighing depen-
dents, floats to the point proposed, without leaving his own fire-
side ; and on his arrival there may go on shore with his house-
hold, and commence business with as little ceremony as a
grave personage who on his marriage with a rich widow said he
had " nothing to do but walk in and hang up his hat."—Amc-
rican Paper.

On Friday week a distressing accident took place
at Newstead, near Melrose. Two children, one nine and the
other six years old, had waded across the Tweed to glean corn
from a field on the opposite bank. In re-crossing the ricer,
they were both carried down by the current to a distance of
nearly four hundred yards, through deep water, and over se-
veral rocks, when they were got out by the exertions of some
people who had noticed the occurrence. Both of the children
were taken out of the water apparently dead ; their bodies
were taken to the village, and the attendance of Dr. Clark-
son, of Melrose, having been promptly secured, that gentle-
man, after using every means for about two hours, at last
succeeded in restoring the suspended animation of the
youngr una-
child ; but all efforts to recover the elder one,. proved
vailing.
MANUFACTURES.—The cotton manufactures in
the west of Scotland are exceedingly brisk, it being found
hardly possible to execute all the orders received at New La-
nark. A mill burnt down in 1819 has been rebuilt, and a
water-wheel, thirty-six feet in diameter, is making to drive
the machinery. All the iron-wolks are in full operation, and
e
in general the manufactures of all kinds were net er in greater
activity. —Scotsman.

On Friday last, four persons, tradesmen, residing in the
neighbourhood of the church of St. George's-in-the-East,
agreed to go down the river upon an excursion to Gravesend
and back in a skiff belonging to one of the party. They
were towed down the river part of the way, and reached
Gravesend in safety. After partaking of some refresh-
ment at that place, they left about two o'clock, with
the intention of returning to London. The weather
was squally, and they received repeated cautions from
some to be careful, and from others not to venture
out at all, but either to remain at Gravesend until the
wind moderated, or to go home in a steamer. The party took
no heed of these warnings, but hoisted the sail and set off.
On rounding the point at Purfleet their little bark appeared
to be carrying so much sail that she was every moment ex-
pected to capsize, while they shipped so much water that
two of them could scarcely keep the skiff afloat by baling
it out. While they were thus engaged a sudden gust of
wind capsized the boat, and a loud shriek was heard from
the four unfortunate men. A ship's boat, and a waterman
belonging to Purfleet, put off to their aid. Two of them,
a young man named Bassy, to whom the skiff belonged,
and another, a shoemaker, named Lewis, who has left a
wife and two children unprovided for, almost immediately
disappeared. The third, a Mr. Edmund Ship, the land-
lord of the Ham Jam beer-house in Anthony-street, was
picked up alive, but in a very exhausted state. He was
taken on board the ship (the boat belonging to which had
put off to his assistance), where every attention was paid
him, and restoratives were applied. He appeared to be
recovering, and was as soon as possible conveyed ashore to
the New Hotel at Purfleet, where a surgeon immediately
attended, and opened a vein in the arm. A few drops of
blood only followed, and the poor fellow, after groaning
heavily, breathed his last. The fourth individual in the
boat, a fine young man, named William Chadsey, an iron-
founder, of No. 6, Cornwall-street, clung to the mast as
the boat was sinking, and when it was raised he was dis-
covered in the same position, with his arms closely entwined
about it, and quite dead. He has left a widow, a well-
conducted and industrious young woman, with five little
ones, quite unprovided for. The bodies of the four men
(those of Bassy and Lewis having been picked up near
Gravesend) were all brought home yesterday to their rela-
tives and friends, and the neighbourhood where they lived
was a scene of woe. One report states that the boat ran
foul of a vessel, and another that she was run down by a
steamer, but the above statement, which we have collected
from the friends of the deceased persons, is the correct one,
and the accident can only be attributed to the inexperience
of the party, and their carrying too much sail.
