The venerable Sir Joirx Hut:, Bart.of Hawk-
stone, has lost two of his sons within the last five
days. His youngest son, Mr. EDWARD HILL,
died on Wednesday week; and on Monday, the
Rev. RICHARD HILL, after a very short illness.
The Hon. Lady HARE had the misfortune to
fracture her leg and dislocate her ancle, last
week, by a fall, whilst viewing the fine ruins of
Castleacre ; her Ladyship was immediately after
conveyed in her carriage to her seat of Stow-hall,
in Norfolk, and is now doing well.
GLITTTONY.-011 Tuesday se'nnight, a person
ate at Monkwearmouth Shore, fifty-six herrings
and a 6d. loaf. In , order to assist these, he
swallowed two gallons of ale and sixteen glasses
of brandy, completing his repast in 12 minutes.
This gentleman performed on the principle of
eating as much as he could get, and he professed
himself willing to eat as much more, but the
by-standers were not disposed to pay for any
further supply.--On Thursday se'nnight, also at
Monkwearmouth, a man named John Eagleston,
devoured 7 lbs. of beef-steaks, half a peck of
potatoes, two three-penny loaves, and seventeen
glasses of brandy, in 25 minutes, for a wager of
five pounds.

A ROBBERS' NEST.—On Thursday evening
Mr. Pococa, a gentleman of fortune residing in
Kilburn Priory, Edgeware-road, arrived at the
Mary-le-bone Police-office, and stated to Mr.
GRIFFITHS, the Magistrate, that he had two un-
occupied houses in his neighbourhood, and upon
entering one of them the previous day he found
concealed undeF the straw some fire-arms, one of
which was loaded. He had no doubt that they
were placed there by robbers, and he wished to
consult the Magistrate upon the course which it
would be proper to take upon the occasion. The
Magistrate recommended that the arms should
not be removed, and that some officers should
he placed to watch on the 'spot without delay.—
Mr. Pocock concurred in this recommendation,
and said that the neighbourhood was of late in-
fested with desperate characters, and instilnced
the recent firing upon the butler belonging to
Mr. Macdonald. Drummond and Morris were
sent from the office to remain on the spot; they
remained there all Thursday night, but the fel-
lows no doubt having heard something, never
made their appearance since.
LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT.—It is our painful
province this week to have to record one of the
most lamentable accidents which has come within
our notice for a long time, and which took place
at Trowbridge on Thursday morning about half
past six o'clock. It appears that a boy, named
Watts, about eleven years of age, was engaged
at the factory of Messrs. Waldron, and in a room
in which he was employed, in passing over a
strap (instead of going round it, as he had been
repeatedly told to do) his apparel became en-
tangled ; he was drawn in between two cylin-
ders, and crushed instantly.. His head was torn
off and not a bone but was broken; one arm is
supposed to be still among the machinery, as it
cannot be found. The steam engine was stopped
by the concussion,—but we refrain from a fur-
ther detail of the heart-rending scene which
presented itself on entering the room where he
lay.—When will boys, and those who attend
such places, learn wisdom, from the repeated
accidents into which many are frequently thrown
by heedlessness and fool-hardihood ? The pa-
rents of the child are in a state that may be
imagined but cannot be described, and the cir-
cumstance will call forth the sympathy of all
who are possessed of the proper feelings of hu-
manity.—(Bath Herald.)
A woman, last week ,lost her life in a contest
with some Excise Officers at Poole, in Dorset-
shire. The Coroner's Jury, after an investiga-
tion, which lasted eight days, returned a verdict
of " -Wilful Murder" against the Supervisor and
one of the Excisemen, as principals, and another
Exciseman as an accessary.
