The following is an extract from a letter
written by Surgeon WALTHEW, of Holyhead :—" I was
called this day to three men on board the Sarah, of Bris-
tol, who were suffocated by closing the hatch after they
had gone to bed over night. The fire was in an iron pot
—it was Scotch coal—two were quite dead (Welchmen)—
all means failed to bring them to life—the trachea was
opened, and their lungs well inflated, and which
was kept up for some time, yet without success—
the third was a black man, who had life in him; his body
cold ; all his senses suspended ; he breathed a little; his
heart was not to he felt, but by applying warmth to his
death-like body, and injecting with the stomach-pump a
large quantity of brandy into the viscus, the vital spark
was kindled, and he is now in a fair way of recovery."—
Dublin Register.

A good many circumstances of a rather ludi-
crous nature occurred on the two days of polling. One
quondam elector appeared to inform the Sheriff that he
had been disfranchised by a rather singular cause—namely,
the wind having some weeks since blown down the pre-
mises on which be rt gistered. Another, after having had
a carriage sent to carry him to the poll by the friends of
the one candidate, voted for his opponent by mistake;
while a third having pledged himself to all three can-
didates, and being many miles distant on the day of elec-
tion, had a gig sent him by two of the candidates; he took
the one that reached him Srar.—Elgin Courier.

On the night of Saturday last, a Rockite
notice was posted on the chapel gate of Moghern w, i❑ the
parish of Cumcliff, threatening any person to be flayed alive
who should take an acre of ground, or give any cattle to
graze to JAMES GILLMOR, of Dunavny. The only cause
assigned for this threat is, that Mr. GILLMOR would not, at
the last Assizes, give a character of a fellow who was trans-
ported for burglary and robbing arms, and for making
himself conspicuous at WYNNE'S late election. Mr. GILL-
3tott was a kind neighbour to the peasantry who bur-
rounded him.—Sligo Journal.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—OR Monday week
a❑ accident of a melancholy description occurred at the
cotton factory of Messrs. HELM, of Padihan-i, by which
an unfortunate woman was instantaneously hurried into
eternity. She entered the factory with the intention of
speaking to an acquaintance, when her clothes unfortu-
nately caught the upright shaft, which turns with great
velocity, and she was killed upon the spot. Both her
legs were torn off at the knee joints, and the greater
part of her head was shivered to atoms. Auother woman
in the room had a very narrow escape,—.Bluchburn Gaz.
