Upwards of 60 vessels are now lying wind-bound
at Cowes, more than 20 of them under repairs, consequent
upon the late tempestuous weather.
An action of ejectment having been commenced and
matured at the Court of Ancient Demesne, at Romford,
by the Marquis of Salisbury and others, against Thomas
Frostick, a chimney-sweep, to recover possession of a piece
of enclosed wilste ground at Havering Well, near Rom-
ford, Saturday morning week was fixed upon for putting in
force the strong arm of the law. About nine o'clock on
that morning the deputy bailiff of the liberty of Havering
sallied forth to commence operations, accompanied by the
Romford watchmen and others. On the arrival of the
parties at the sweep's hut, and making themselves known,
and the object of their visit, they were covered with soot
and tar, which were plentifully showered upon them, some-
times from a ladle and sometimes in balls. The action
now assumed a very black appearance, and some of the
party attempted to stave in the sides of the hut with long
poles. At length a passage was forced through the door-
way, and Frostick and his wife were, after a hard struggle,
captured and marched off as prisoners to the cage of
Romford. On Tuesday they were released on bail, to ap-
pear at the next General Quarter Sessions to answer-the
charge against them.
An inquest was held on Thursday last, at Farn.
worth, upon the bodies of Robert Taylor, aged 14, and
Daniel Taylor, his brother, aged 10 years, who were
drowned in a coal-pit at Kearslcy, about half-past five
o'clock the same morning. It appeared, by the evidence
of James Taylor, their father, that he was letting the de-
ceased, together with an elder brother, by a rope down a
coal-pit belonging to Mr. Doming, at hearsley, in order
entrance to which is
The
for them to go to work in a mine, the
about nine yards from the pit's mouth. rhe rope was fas-
tened to a wheel fixed in the drum shaft, having a handle
to it, acting as a windlass. When they had got down about
eight yards, one of them called out ,‘ We are not low
enough ;" upon which witness moved the handle of wheel
for the purpose of allowing them a little more rope, and
when he had got it to the level where he should have
stopped, the wheel overpowered him, and lie called to
another man who ran to his assistance ; but they were both
unable to stop the wheel till the rope ran to the bottom of
the pit, which was seven yards deep in water. Some per-
sons went down to the assistance of the lads, and found
only the eldest son who had hold of the rope, and was up
to his neck in water, and as they were pulling him up, a
piece of wood fell upon his head, without, however, doing
him any serious injury. The bodies of the other lads were
not found until after eight o'clock, when they were quite
dead. Verdict—" Accidental death."—Bolion Chronicle.

HORACE WALPOLE'S LETTERS.--The publica-
tion b y Mr. Colburn in a cheap form of the large body of
correspondonce of this distinguished wit and statesman, for
sixty-two years, with George Montague, Esq., and other
celebrated persons, as a companion series to the letters
lately published, and addressed to Horace Mann, has given
much satisfaction. It has been truly observed, that "to
the few who linger among us, and remember the beauties be
has celebrated, or have laughed at Arthur's with Townsend
or Selwyn, these volumes will recal a thousand recollections;
and to the present generation it cannot but be gratifying to
have, the wit, the pleasantry, and the manners of an age,
not indeed so long removed from us in time as in manners
and opinions, themselves, sketched with such admirable
truth and spirit. The scenes between Selwyn and Mrs.
Dorcas—the marriage of handsome Tracy'—the Vaux-
hall party, and numerous others, are the remembrances of
an age that has quite passed away."

At Valenciennes, some of the artillerymen of the
National Guard, in order to celebrate the fete of St. Barbe,
were making fire works ; by some means one of the pieces
caught fire, when the whole of the combustible materials
exploded, blew up the house and scattered the unfortunate
persons who were in it, in all directions, many of whom were
killed, and other's shockingly mutilated.—Boulogne Journal.
In his new romance, entitled " The Duke of Mon-
mouth," the author of " The Munster Festivals" has found
a theme worthy of his rare genius. The career of the
Duke, which ended in the battle of Sedgmoor, involved
passages more calculated to raise the emotions of wonder
and terror than almost any other portion of the history of
the ill-fated Stuarts ; while the deeds of the atrocious and
sanguinary Colonel Kirke furnish to the writer of romance
those incidents which powerfully stir the heart and arouse
the sympathies of the reader. His infamous treachery to a
lady in the west of England, which forms so black a page
in tradition, the present author has turned to strong-account ;
indeed, it supplies the most striking and terrible series of
scenes ever developed in historical fiction.
At Gravelines, a stable fell in upon 150 sheep which
were shut up in it, and out of the whole flock only a small
number came alive ; the chimney of a sugar manufactory at
Tourcoing fell down, killing three persons and wounding
three more ; near Morbeque, on the road of Cassel, a
weaver of the name of Pierre Loonis, was crushed by the
fall of a tree, a child was killed by • that of a wall, and a
young man named Pierre Buvey was seriously wounded by
the branch of a tree.—Boulogne Journal.
On Tuesday week, at the St. Omer assizes, Alex
ander Delattre, a sea-faring man of Boulogne, was accused
of indecent assaults on two little girls, from six to eight
years of age. The doors of the Court were ordered to be
closed during the trial. The accused was condemned to five
years imprisonment, and five years surveillance of the police.
A most distressing scene ensued, as the prisoner went out
from the Court, he being the father of eight ohildren, of
whom he is the sole support. His unhappy wife bad come
to St. Omer, to render her husband what assistance she
could under the investigation which was either to deprive
her of her husband or restore him to her again ; she was
obliged to leave the Court at the commencement of the
affair ; she waited with an infant in her' arms crying on
the steps of the Court until the trial was ended. When she
found that her husband, the only person for whom she had
waited, was to be taken away, her sorrow knew no bounds ;
and she and her husband went to the prison plunged in
such distress, that it excited the sympathy of all who wit-
nessed the scene.

In the neighbourhood at Cassel the late storm raged
with great violence, the roofs of nearly all the houses were
stripped, innumerable trees were cut in two, and six mills
were thrown down.—Boulogne Journal.
The Chamber of Representatives of Belgium has
agreed to tax the rest of the inhabitants of that country for
the sake of the ship-builders. It has decided that a bounty
of 30 francs per ton should be given on ships built in Bel-
gium of from 100 to 500 tons, if coppered and copper-
fastened. Steam-vessels are to be rewarded by a still
greater bounty, but the Chamber had not decided how
much. The Government proposes that it should be 36 or
40 francs, as they are not coppered or copper-fastened.
CALAIS.--The pier and jetty of this port, the
strongest and best constructed of any in this country, could
not stand against the impetuosity of the foaming element.
The massive stones that were cranked together by strong
iron bars, and hitherto have served as a breakwater to the
pier and harbour, were shaken from their places and broken
asunder. The deep-driven piles of the jetty then became
loosened. At the end there was a sentry-box for the
douaniers, which was completely washed away, with about •;
25 to 30 yards of the upper part of the pier or bars, leaving
only the piles standing, and other damage done. The signal-
staff was broken to pieces, and six small brass guns, which
serve to salute the arrival or passing of any squadron or
ships of war belonging to foreign nations at peace with
France, were entirely dismounted from their carriages, and
thrown to some distance by the impetuosity of the waves.—
Boulogne Journal.
The Waterford Mail, a Tory paper of some con-
science, pays the following well-deserved compliment to the
Noble foreign correspondent of a fashionable morning
paper It is boasted that a Peer, Lord Ranelagh, is
as
fightin, a volunteer in the bigot's ranks, and much admi-
ration 'has been bestowed upon his Lordship's excellent let-
ters in favour of the patron of the Jesuits and friend of the
Inquisition, published in the Morning Post. If he were a
popish Peer, we would understand his conduct. But he is
a high Protestant ; and, if he had a vote in the House of
Lords, would unquestionably record it against the National
Board, and every measure tending to exalt the name of the
Bishop of Rome in these realms. Yet, he is fighting and
shedding blood, to make the Pope lord paramount to Spain
What a miserable, contemptible, and unprincipled creature
he must be !" •

TILE VENDOME MuTINY.—Tile trials of the mili-
tary mutineers of Vendome commenced before a Council of
War at Tours on Friday. The President read to the Court
the Ministerial order by which it was summoned to sit on
the trial of Bruyant (Charles Victor), a brigadier, a jeweller
before entering the service, 22 years of age ; Thierry (Ni-
cholas), a hussar, a boat-maker before he enlisted ; Oudinot
de la Faverie (Pierre Victor Francois Louis), brigadier, a
student before entering the service, 25 years of age ; Marsha l
(Louis Nicholas), hussar, formerly a gardener, aged 22 ;
Descartes (Bartholemi Theophile), a hussar, formerly a
carrier, 30 years of age ; Bassicre (Claude Alphonse), bus-
sar, a paper-stainer, aged 25 ; Benoit (Pierre), a hussar, a
hatter before entering the army, '25 years of age ; Bernard
(Pierre), a hussar, formerly a mason, aged 24 ; Lenoan, a
hussar, a servant before enlisting, aged 20 ; Nardin (Fran-
cois Auguste), a hussar, and formerly a boot-maker, aged '27.
All of these are charged with participation in a conspiracy
having for its object to overturn the Government of the
King, and proclaim the Republic. Bruyant is, moreover,
accused of having been the promoter of the plot—of having
attempted to create a revolt in the regiment to which he be-
longs, by crying " To arms : liberty for ever!" and having
committed a wilful murder on the person of a brigadier
Thierry was declared contumacious.
