in Leith Ittiadi yesterday, -sent tip by the Obero
sloop of war.
~.the ts• from Archangel.

The untiinelv.fate of the two Boys who Were
drowned in Leith harbour on ThurSday evening
has excited vei.V. general sy`mpathy.and regret.—
\ire understand they were -the -sons of Mr. Mac-.
diarmid, vintne!r; Pleasance, and what aggratates
his affliction, his 'ciniv surviving Children. They
were diverting themselves witfi,their comrade on
a raft of wood, when 4t was struck by a vessel
"coming up-the harbour, which separated the logs,
and precipitated themlato the water. One of the
bodies waslound the same evening, hut too late
to restore animation the other was not got till
Friday m-orning: it is impossible to describe_thc
feelings of the disconsolate parents. .
Tuesday evening a gentltman'S servant, in the
most wanton manner gallopped his horse through
a crowd of people asseuibled around two musicians
on the shore at Leith, several of whom Were trod
down and hurt, particularly one man, who. ap-
peared 'to be very much cut and brni.F.ed. The
perpetrator of this outrage waa immediately appre-
hended andi lodged in jail. . '
.On Monday night, the 21st, or early on Tues.=
day morning, .'some evil-disposed person, or p&-
sons, wantonly and maliciously hamstrung twenty'-
four rams, belonging to
.Mr. Robinson,--of
Brandon, near Newark. it appears to haVe been.
dope by somebody acquainted with .the groUnd,
...the sheep were in two pastures, at a considerable
distance from each other.

A most shocking accident. happened yesterday
in Piccadilly to a youth, nine years.old, of the
name of Oidfield. He was playing along the
street. with two or three other youths, .and,
amongst other antics, be was climbing up one of
the hinder wheels of a post-chaise, when the,
horses movedsoff, following a coach before them,
and his legs qlnd thighs, which got entangled• in
the wheels, were so dreadfully broken, that-be
was taken home to Swallow-street, without hopes
of recovery. _ _

An impertinent hackney coachman, named :F. -
vil, was yesterday held to bail for an assault on a
Mrs. BeaVer, after having extorted from her six
shillings, just double his fare.
BUGS.--We have been favoured with. a recipe
for the banishment .of those dirty, disagreeable
sects ; it is simply to hang a sprig of Tansy
.against the head of the bed, a few inches abOve
the pillow. If the bed is ever so much infested
with these vermin, the person who sleeps in it
will not, be :bitten, or in any way. disturbed by
them.
