DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT AT MURDER.—
On Monday evening, after dark, as the Thorne packet
coach was entering Sheffield, it was stopped by a young
man, who handed the coachman a small box, addressed to
Messrs. WATERHOUSE, HODUSON, and Co. The box
was regularly forwarded the next morning, and Mr. E.
HATFIELD, a partner in the house, immediately proceeded
to open it. Upon forcing a chisel under the lid a terrible
explosion took place, which knocked Mr. H. down with
great force, and dashed out all the glass from the windows.
Upon examining the box, it was found that it contained
a pistol, which was loaded with powder, and had a canis-
ter of powder fixed at its muzzle ; a wire connected the
lid with the trigger in such a way, that by raising the lid
a very little, the pistol was discharged into the powder.
Mr. H. was much hurt in the face, and is still confined to
his bed, but is not considered in danger. The Sheffield
police are busy in endeavouring to trace the villain who
could have planned and executed the diabolical design.
DEAL.—Last week the following melancholy
and fatal accident happened on hoard the Stag frigate, in
the Downs, which has occasioned considerable regret in
that ship. A midshipman enjoying a frolic aloft with se-
veral of his companions, in the dangerous pastime unfor-
tunately missed a rope Le was endeavouring to catch, and
fell in cuntact with a gun on the deck. The unfortunate
sufferer never uttered a syllable, but died almost imme-
diately. On Sunday the corpse was conveyed for inter-
ment to the burial•ground attached to the Naval Hospital,
attended by the officers and part of the crew.-...Kentish
Herald.

DUNDEE.—On Monday the melancholy in-
telligence of the death of GEORGE KINLOCH, Esq.,
was announced in this city, to the deep regret of the inha-
bitants. On the forenoon of that day a few gentlemen
waited upon the Lord Provost to request bins to call r.
public meeting on the subject of candidates to fill the con-
s-quent vacancy. At three o'clock in the afternoon a
very numerous meeting took place in the Steeple-church,
Provost LINDSAY in the chair. The meeting was ad-
dressed by several gentlemen, and seemed deeply affected
by every allusion to the great loss which the city had so
suddenly and unexpectedly sustained. Letters from se
veral Members of Parliament were produced, strongly re-
commending Sir HENRY PARNELL to the notice of the
electors. A communication from Mr. CHARLES GeTitme:
(the unsuccessful candidate at the last election) was read,
which stated that he had waited upon Sir HENRY, re-
questing him rE, offer himself, and promising his support
in Dundee. Sir HENRY replied, that should a respect-
able number of voters request him to become a candidate,
he would immediately wait upon them personally. This
announcement was received with an universal burst of ap-
plause. We understand that before 8 o'clock that night
about 600 out of 1,500 voters signed a requisition, to be
forwarded to Sir HENRY by that night's post. This is most
creditable to the people of Dundee. Sir HENRY is a man of
sterling principles, a rigid economist, and one of our best
financiers. We consider it one great advantage which the
burgh consziteencies have over those of counties, that while
the latter invariably confine themselves to wealthy pro-
prietors living in the district, tio,s-i!ver ignorant or ineffi
cieut, the former, disregarding localities, can select men o
talent and principle from the remotest parts of the king-
d nn. It is in this way th it the burghs, which are the
organs of popular feeling, will insure their ascendancy ii
Parliament. Sir HENRy's success in Dundee is already
considered eertain,...Scotsma..
