MELANCHOLY OccuREENCE OFF BANKSIDE,—TWO
LIVES LOST.—On Monday forenoon, shortly after ore o'clock,
a distressing accident happened at Bankside, near London-
bridge, by which two lives were lost. What renders it more
painful is, that it was witnessed by a great crowd of persons
on shore, who were unable to render the least assistance to
the unfortunate parties. The mity arose from the prac-
tice of bathing at that place, which is most dangerous, in
consequence of the steepness of its banks and the great
number of ballast holes. A number of youths, from nine to
sixteen years of age, had been bathing during the forenoon,
when at the time mentioned, a cry was raised that a youth
was drownieg, and one was seen struggling in the agonies of
death within fifteen or :sixteen yards of the bank. Another
youth, named Pry, fifteen years of age, hastened to the spot
Wlererthe'l-oy had been seen to go dean, and dived atter
him, but when he rose it was seen he other boy had grasped
some part of his bode, and that they were both drat niog.
A large number of persons collected along Bankside—there
being a regatta going on-great contusion ensued, but before
lt
T
a boat could be put off to their assistance, the youths had
di-appeared, and were pot seen at, erwards.

strains of a military band. The Lord Mayor, who presided,
The Queen Dowager,
then briefly proposed the toasts usual (n such occasions,
among which were—" The Queen," "
Patroness of the Institution," and " Prosperity to the So-
ciety." The company afterwards adjourned to the lawn,
when the amusement of dancing commenced, and was pur-
sued with much spirit, with the substitution of fresh
turf and the setting sun for gas light and chalked boards.
The proceeds of the fire will, we hope, prove a welcome ad-
dition to the funds of the society.
THE MURDER AT KINETON, WARWICKSHIRE.—
(From a Correspondent.)—No clue to this mysterious affair
had been found up to Friday night, when bills were printed
at Warwick offering 100/. reward by the Secretary of State
for the apprehension and conviction of the perpetrator of this
atrocious crime. Early on Monday morning, however, pri-
vate information was received at the county town that two
persons were actually in custody, a rumour to that effect
having proved to be incorrect on the Monday previously.
We therefore immediately set out for Eineton, and on Arriv-
ing there about two o'clock. P.m. we foetid that a private
examination of witnesses had been going on at the Red
Lion-inn from eleven o'clock in the morning. Upon making
an application for admission to the magistrates, we were in-
formed, that the court had thought it best for the ends of
justice that the details of the evidence should be kept private
until a formal public examination, as the aspect of the case
then was only (me of " strong suspicion." The names of the
parties taken into custody were James Shelswell and William
Mumford, both young men, and both natives or residents of
Bineton.
THE SUSSEX CLUB —The members of this county
club dined together on Saturday, at the Thatched-house
Tavern, • St.- James's. street. The Duke of Richmond pre-
shied, and among the circle were Lord Abinger, Sir C.
Burrell, M.P., Sir John Dodson, &c. It was the list meet-
ing this season. Lord Abinger was named president for the
next dinner.
A stonecutter, called Mitchell, was killed on Friday
evening last, at six o'clock .by the fall of a rock at Mr. Gil
quarries, under the Hoe.—Plymouth Times.
THE LATE MURDER AT LANIVET, NEAR BODNIN.—.
On Sunday last, two men were brought to Bodmin, having
surrendered themselves at Devonport on suspicioq of being
concerned in the above murder. There is a woman now in
Bodmin gaol, under sentence of transportation, for a robbery
committed some time since at Liskeard, and who asserts
' that she was present when the woman called Somerset Ann
was murdered. In consequence of her allegations a warrant
was issued out against two men whom she described, and it
was supposed that these were the same. On being confronted,
however, witkthe.pri,onens, it appeared that she could not
identify them: and thee' were 'consequently discharged. The
/hole occurrence still retains in as 4114 rarSterf c' r.
