On Wednesday morning last Mrs. Walker, are •
speetahle married woman, residing in apartments at No.
17, Northumberland-street, New-road, quitted home for a
very short period, leaving in one of her rooms two of her
children-, a girl and a boy, one of them eight and the other
three years of age. Soon after her departure they upset a
large tea-kettle fall of boiling water, which fell on their
heads and bodies ; their screams alarmed the landlady, who
hastened up stairs to their assistance, and found them
scalded all over in a most dreadful manner. A surgeon
who was sent for quickly arrived and paid every attention
in his power, bat the injuries which the little sufferers had
received were of such a nature as to baffle all his skill, and
at an early hour on Thursday morning they both expired.
HERRINGS.—On Thursday
.the supply of herrings
at Brighton was so great that they were sold in the streets
of that town at 30 for a shilling.

On Friday, the 28th ultimo, three dead bodies were
found near to Yellow Sand Bite, Whitby, supposed to have
belonged to the brig Spring, which struck on the rock in
April last. All the hands, nine in number, betook them-
selves to their boat, which upset, and they all perished.
The bodies had every appearance of being sand-warped,
and must still have remained in their sandy sepulchres, but
for the tremendous gale of Thursday, the 27th ult., which
caused a high sea, and thereby bared the corpses. They
presented awful spectacles ; the greater part of them being
destroyed by time. They were removed to the parish
church, where an inquest was held by Robert Preston,
Esq., Coroner, and a verdict of " Found drowned," re-
turned.--Hull Advertise?. of Friday.
OPINION RESPECTING SIR WALTER SCOTT•

" If, in Walter Scott, I am frequently obliged to skip the
interminable conversation ; if I do not always meet with
that &elect nature, that perfection of scenery, that originality,
those thoughts, those traits, which I find in Manzoni, and
several of our modern novelists, it is my own fault. But
one of tha great merits of Walter Scott, in my opinion, is,
that he may be put into the hanls of everybody. It re-
quires much greater efforts of talent to interest whilst keep-
ing within due bounds than to please by overleaping them ;
it is not so easy to regulate the heart as to derange it."—
Cilateaubriand's Sketches of English Literature.

A tradesman in the neighbourhood of St. James's
announces himself as " professor of the art of cutting," an
accomplishment which some of the sprigs of fashion at pre-
sent perform very awkwardly.
At a meeting of the Committee of the Worcester
Musical Festival, at the Bishop's Palace, on Saturday, it
was unanimously resolved that the present want of success
should not induce the Directors to relinquish these delight-
ful entertainments for the future.

Between six and seven o'clock on Saturday morn-
ing, a fire broke out in the workshops belonging to Mr.
Shands, coach and cabriolet-maker, Old-street-road, Shore-
ditch, which caused the utmost excitement in the neigh-
bourhood, more particularly so from the recent dreadful
calamities of a like description in that quarter within the
last week, by which property to the amount of at least
13,0001. has been destroyed. A parish engine of St.
Luke's succeeded in some degree in stopping the progress
of the fire till the arrival of two of the London Establish-
ment engines, which confined the destruction of the flame•
to Mr. Shand's and the three adjoining houses. The stock
was nearly all consumed. We are happy to say no lives
were lost.

On Wednesday a reprieve was received at Newgate
for the four men sentenced to be executed on the 22d for
the felonious assault upon Mr. Mason, the builder. The ut-
most the sentence can be commuted to will be transporta-
tion for life.—Dublin Evening Mail.
PATHO-PROTEIAN MALADY—is a monster ma-
lady of comparatively recant origin. No name, no descrip-
tion of it is found in the records of antiquity, or even of
the middle-ages. It is clearly the offspring of civilization
and refinement, of sedentary habits and intellectual culture,
of physical deterioration and mental perturbation, of ex-
citement and exhaustion, of the friction (if I am allowed
such a term) of mind on matter and of matter on mind.
It is not the progeny of intemperance, for our forefathers
were more intemperate than we are. It is not the product
of effeminacy, as far as indulgence in pleasure or idleness
is concerned ; for the present race is more worn down by
labour and care than by ease and dissipation. Though
millions have felt it, no one can describe it ; though thou-
sands have studied it, no one has been able to frame for it
an accurate definition. And no wonder. It is a Proteus,
which assumes the form and usurps the attributes of almost
every malady, mental and corporeal, that has scourged the
human race since the creation of the world. We have
imported, through the medium of our boundless coloniza-
tion, the constitutions and maladies of the East and of
the West, and incorporated them with those of our
own. Every day and hour the experienced eye will de-
tect in the streets of London the Hindoo features, blanched
by our skies of their ochery complexion ; the Negro
nose and lips, deprived, by, the same agents, of their
original companions, the Ethiopian hue and woolly locks.
These, however, would have been of little consequence, had
we not imported with them the bile and the belly-ache, the
Iliudostanee liver and the Caribbean spleen, the phlegm of
the north and the cholera of the south. * * * * *
This disease has been attributed to the liver, the stomach,
the spleen, the brain, the spinal marrow, the nerves, the
colon, &e. ; each physician drawing the Proteian fiend in
the shape and hue which it most frequently assumed under
his own observance. Hence its various designations. In-
digestion, hepatitis, dyspepsia, nervous irritability, bilious
disorder, hypocondriasis, &c. have each in his turn, been
the name affixed to the infirmity. It is not difficult to dis-
cover the clue to this diversity of opinion. The Patho-
Proteian affliction is not, perhaps, in strict language, an
entity—a single disease sent down from Heaven, or spring-
ing from the bowels of the earth—but rather a morbid con-
stitution or disposition, produced by the various moral and
physical causes above alluded to, and moulding numerous
other maladies into its own resemblance.—Dr. Johnson's
Economy of Health.
