A SHOWER OF WHITE FLIES.-011 Sunday, thef
6th ult., a most singular fact attracted the observation
of some of the inhabitants of the eastern road settle-
ments. About three o'clock P.N., a shower of small
white flies came drifting along, borne along on a gentle
breeze from the north. west. For upwards of tan hour
and a half they continued to float onward in a south-
wardly direction past a certain point, where an indivi-
dual had the curiosity to watch the extraordinary flight.
So that if they travelled only at the slow rate of four
miles per hour, they must have reached a distance' of six
miles in a lineal direction. How far they extended in
width, the writer had no means of judging; but as far
as the eye could reach, the atmosphere presented an ap-
pearance similar to what it does during a violent snow
squall.—Halifax Post.
The Venerable Archdeacon Shirley's conseers Ltion
as Bishop of Sodor and Man is fixed to take plat :le on
January 10, 1847, at Whitehall Chapel.
FIRS IN THE HAYMARBET.—Late on Mr .nday
night the premises belonging to Mr. Stray, a taiilor, of
39, Haymarket, were discovered to be on fire by a. olice-
man. He succeeded in arousing the inmates, nut, how-
ever, before the flames completely cut off all metne of
effecting a retreat by the usual way. The parties ma-
naged to get upon the roof of the premises, and they
were ta nt
ken io the ad:joining house. The fire was not
subdued until it had 'passed through almost every apart-
inept in the house., destroying a considerable amount of stock, furniture, and other effects. Mr. Stray was in-
sured in the lyncenix Office, but not to the amou ut of
his loss.
SINGeLA.7I DEATH.—The death of a young woman
was lately occasioned in a somewhat curious manner,
near Charl_eroy. Two dogs were fighting near the mout h
of a coa't-mine, in the vicinity of that town, when, in
their straggles, they approached the brink of the pit and
rolled over, to the great mirth of the spectators of the
4ombat. Lamentable cries, however, were immediately
'heard issuing from the mine. The dogs, in their fall,
:had alighted on, and broken, the cover of the bask et
evhich was ascending the shaft, and the pieces falling on
file young girl wh.o was coming up in it, fractured b,er
wkall in so shocking a manner that she died on the ap pt.
