ACCIDENT AT SEA.—Early on Tuesday
morning a Newton herring boat, belonging to a Mr.
CUTHBERTSON, when off Holy Island, was run down by a
steam vessel, and we are sorry to add that the crew, con-
sisting of four fishermen, have all perished.— Caledonian
Mercury.

CITY OF THE FALLS.—We hear that Mr.
Foasmes houses and grounds, exceeding 400 acres, at
the Falls of Niagara, have been purchased, with the in-
tention of founding a city on a plan of the fashionable
places of resort in Europe. It is determined that baths,
reading-rooms, and a splendid pump-room, with an
orchestra, shall be erected north of the Table Rock ; that
40 acres, including the highly-picturesque banks, are to
be appropriated to landscape gardening, with walks,
shaded seats, and every attraction, so as to render the
proposed city one of the most delightful places of retreat,
both for the fashionable, the learned, and lovers of elegant
retirement, and for respectable families of limited income,
as not only the necessaries of life are abundant and cheap,
but luxuries are attainable on more moderate terms than
in Europe. Accommodation will be provided for families
while their houses may be in progress. Building ma-
terials are fully 50 per cent. cheaper than in the cities or
the sea-port.—ltiontreal Gazette.
DREADFUL DESTRUCTION OF A SHIP BY
FIRE.—The ship Susan, OUTERBRIDGE, from New
York, hound to New Orleans, with 2,000 casks of lime,
and 200 kegs of gunpowder, was, on the 27th of June,

thrown on her beam-ends in a gale ; the fore-mast was
cut away, when the main and mizen-mast went by the
board, and the ship righted, jury-masts were rigged, and
they endeavoured to make a port. The powder was
thrown over-board during the gale. On the 16th of July
the ship was discovered to be on fire from a quantity of
water having passed down the companion. The long boat
was launched, and the vessel was abandoned. Two hours
had elapsed from the first discovery of the fire to its
breaking out on deck. The Captain and crew, in all 11
persors, much exhausted from fatigue and exposure, ar-
rived at North island, having been three days and night.
at sea in an open boat, the greater part of which the wind
blew a gale, and remaining without food and water. Two
bottles of claret and part of a bottle of brandy, the whole of
the liquids saved, were soon exhausted, and the provision•
were all salted ; thus eating them only increased their
thirst. Some of the crew succeeded in saving their clothes
and bedding, while others were less fortunate, and saved
nothing but the clothes on their backs. The inhabitants
of North Island extended to them such assistance as their
necessities required.

ADJOURNED CORONER'S INQUEST.-THE
atYSTERIOUS DEATH IN HYDE PARE.-Yesterday after-
noon the Coroner and Jury again met at the Old King's
Arms; Kensington, when the following additional evidence
was adduced :-Miss SOPHIA BARNES, milliner and
dressmaker, of 42, Adam Street West, deposed that she
was intimately acquainted with the deceased Miss Hut-
nam. Being in straitened circumstances, she had latterly
assisted witness in her business. She possessed a very
proud and lofty spirit, and could not bear the idea of being
under the slightest obligation to any one, and her altered
condition in life seemed to press heavily on her mind. Tile
deceased, although an eccentric woman, was generally es-
teemed for her liberality, and the many amiable qualities
she possessed. Witness parted from her on the Friday
evening preceding her death ; she was then low-spirited as
usual, but she saw nothing about her to warrant a con-

elusion that she meditated any design upon her own life.
%Ir. AMBROSE CUDDON, of .22, King-street, Portman-
,quare, deposed that the deceased bad lodged in his house
for the last three months, but he had known her for a
much longer period. She was a most virtuous, prudent
woman, and possessed the highest sense of honour and
propriety. In the opinion of witness her in.sbility to meet
certain pecuniary engagements preyed much upon her
mind. There was also another circumstance of a more
tender nature which had caused her much uneasiness.
About a year ago a most respectable gentleman paid his
addresses to her, and they were on the point of being united
when, for some reason with which he is not acquainted,
the intimacy was suddenly broken off; she (oak
this much to heart, and for a long time afterwards carried
the letters of her lover about with her in her bosom, and
has never been right, in his mind, since. The last time he
.aw her alive was on that day se'nnight, and she then toll
him that she intended to quit her apartments ; she ap-
peared very low-spirited at this time. He has since dis-
covered that a nunsber of love-letters and other papers
had been destroyed by her prior to leaving his house on
Friday. Her bed-rom was in the utmost confoaion, anti
her clothes strewed about the floor. The Coroner here
inquired if the woman (ENGLAND), who was supposed to
be in some measure implicated in the deceased's death,
had been apprehended ? The beadle replied, that though
he had mathiathe strictest search for her, she was no where
to be found. The Coroner observed, that this woman

he thought the evidence which they had now heard tended
to show that the unfortunate woman had been her own
destroyer. As there appeared no possibility of obtaining
further evidence, even if they should again adjourn, he
thought the better way, under a I the circumstances,
would be for the Jury to return such a verdict as wool.'
leave the subject open for further inquiry, in case any
thing should hereafter transpire to itnplicat • any person
in the death of the unfortunate deceased. The Jut y, art •
ing upon this suggestion, returned a verdict, •' That the
deceased was found dead in the Serpentine River."
