were raised, so as to be bound together by cables
above, when suddenly one of them fell, killing two
persons dead on the spot, dangerously wounding ano-
ther, and bruising several with whom it came slightly
n contact. Fortunately the great bulk of the speeta-
ors were scattered about in other directions, else the
less of life would have been awful indeed.
The accounts from the Swiss frontier mention the
cessation of the blockade at several places. If we arc to
give credit to the assertions of a Deputy in the confidence
of the present Ministers, the Prefects and Sub-Prefects
by whom the blockade was conducted, greatly exceeded
in rigour the letter of the instructions addressed to them
by the Government. Switzerland, on her part, is fa-
cilitating the means of a return to friendly relations
with France, by the timely removal of such political
refugees as have abused the sanctity of the asylum
which she has afforded them.
Of the prisoners accused of participating in the

Madrid Journals of the 16th inst., one day later
than those previously received in London, have been
forwarded to us. The defeat of GOMEZ by ALAI;
was not so complete as was at first reported, though
the rebels suffered a severe repulse, and lost a great
number of prisoners. No doubt, however, is now
entertained by Ministers as to the result. GOMEZ is
now surrounded on all sides, and cannot escape from
his enemies, unless by some stratagem, which, if suc-
ftessful, will rank him first in the list of the Pretender's
Generals. it is said that Ministers are impatient at
the delays which Lave taken place in attacking the
rebels. MENDIZABAL, in particular, is reported to
have addressed a letter to General RODIL, imploring
him to lose not a moment in attacking GOMEZ ; at
the same time, by way of encouragement, accompany-
ing this letter with the sum of four hundred thousand
francs, to supply the pressing necessities of the troops.
The dilatory movements of the army are severely cen-
sured by the Madrid independent Press. A correspon-
dent of the Eco writing from Cordova, states that
the Carlists under GOMEZ, were guilty of the most
frightful excesses during the eight days they kept pos-
session of that city. To the eternal infamy of the
QUEEN'S army, the Carlists remained undisturbed
masters of this provincial capital till they chose to quit
it, although—according to this writer—the divisions
under GOMEZ, CABRERA, QUILEZ, SERRADOR,
PALILLOS, and OREJETA, did not exceed 8,000
in all, including cavalry
The Captain-General of Granada has addressed a
letter to the Minister of War, to the effect that the
British Consul at Malaga, and Captain Lord INGES-
TRIE, of his Britannic MAJESTY'S Tyne frigate, had
offered their assistance in defending that city, provided
the QUEEN'S authority was properly respected. This
offer was accepted with acclamations of joy.

Advices from Barbadoes were yesterday received to
the 17th ult. The Pigeon packet, from Falmouth, had ar-

Tranquillity reigned in the capital, but some fear was en-

and join the Miguelites on the frontiers.
We have to record the death of a young gentleman
named Reed, at Topsham, by another of those dreadful ac-
I dents which too often occur from the use of fire-arms. He
was only eighteen years of age, the eldest son of his pa-

SIIAKSPEARE'S MARRIAGE LICENCE.—This
curious document has recently been discovered in the ar-
chives of the Consistorial Court of Worcester, hearing date
Nov. 28th, 1582. At the time of his marriage he was only
eighteen, and the object of his choice was Anne Hathaway,
daughter of a substantial yeoman in the neighbourhood
of Stratford. The marriage must have taken place within
the diocese of Worcester, but in what parish cannot be
known from the record, as the transcripts of
parochial
rogisters preserved there do not commence till about the
'Tear 1660.
