SHOCKING FATALITY.

An inquest was held by Mr. Wood, coroner,
-yesterday, at the house of Mr. Myers; the sign
of Lord Nelson, in Walmgate, in this city, on
view of the body of Mr. Henry Hill, of the
steam-mill, in Walmgate, who met with his
death on Saturday evening.
John Webster—ls in the employment 'of
Mr. Hill, at his steam-mill ;en Saturday
evening. witness went, :along with. the de-
ceased s brother into the engine-house, in con-
sequence of the brother having inquired if he
had seen the deceased, he wondering what had
become of him. The door of the engine-home
was open, and they both went in with a lamp.
They saw the deceased's hat lying on a step, and
Robert Hill went for his father, who desired that
the engine might be stopped, which was accord-
ingly done. Robert Hill then put a large iron
poker into the sink hole, which contained about
three feet of water, and on feeling at the bottom
he said the deceased was there. John Dutton,
another person employed at the mill then went
down, and raised him up, and with the assist-
ance of the others got him out of the place.
John Dutton last saw the deceased alive at
five o'clock on Saturday evening. On hearing
the alarm given, between seven anti eight
o'clock, he went and assisted in getting him out
of the sink hole. This witness described the
deceased as very much bruised in his body, that
his left side was torn open; and his left arm
broken in two or three places. His breast was
likewise cut open about three inches, and part of
his entrails were torn out.

`Wm. Field, employed at the mill, deposed
to having seen the deceased for the last time,
about half-past five o'clock, and gave him
some silver, and he then appeared fresh in liquor,
but he knew what he was about.

The jury returned a verdict of " Accidentally
killed by the crank of the steam-engine."---lleo-
dand, one Shilling.—York Courant.

ROGUES AND FOOLS. -

A community of sheer rogues would destroy
itself, like two. millstones without the
intervention of a materia Ito Le_ ground. A na-
tion of fools would be devoured by their neigh-
bours ; but a society compounded, of the two,
with a preper intermixture of those who are, in
their own persons, a happy mixture of both, is
admirably calculated for the maintenance of " so-
cial order, and the relations of civilized life."—
Folly is, therefore, the ultimate of all that
is brilliant and elevated in social 'polity, With-
out fools, we should.. have`.,neither kings, nor
bishops, nor judges, nor generals, nor -police
magistrates, nor constables ; • or, at least, if such
things existed,' they ~vould be constitnued so
differently from those which at present bear the
name, that they would. no longer •be worthy of
it. They would bestripped:of all the sublime
and beautiful in which they. now rejoice ; and
the polished Corinthian :Capital would be divest-
ed of the better part of its gilding,and ornament.
There would be no sinecures, no pensions, no
reversionary grants, no proconsular colonies, and
no close boroughs to claim them : nothing, in
short, to distinguish men from the beasts Of the
field ! This is the very touchstone of pOlitical
science ; anti yet men go on abusing the block-
heads and dolts, as if they were a superfluity in
nature, and a let and a hindrance to the public
as large. But the matter does not reach here.
Banish folly from the intellectual complex, and
the major part even of the honester eallings must-
cease and be abandoned. The world would be-
come little better than one vast t.uli 'of DiogeneS,
and its population would be as'unaCCOrnmodated
and as idle as the people of Ireland. If the
simple desire of fencing out the inclemency of the
elements alone presided over the choice of our
habiliments, and nothing were granted to folly
and ostentation, what would become of the
tailor, and of the milliner and mantua-tnaker ?
It is folly and vanity that render these trades a
means of genteel livelihood to so many worthy
citizens ; and without them the Stulzes and
the Herbots would pine in the same. hopeless
obscurity as the vilest coinitry botch. How
itttle of the twenty yards of silk which 'my wife
asures me is indispensable to the building of a
decent evening dress belong to wisdom and pro-
priety ; and how much is dedicated, under the
names of gigots, vaults a dent, rashes, and
furbelos, to the service of folly ! How little of
the stupendous and complicated eiece of archi,
Lecture, called a bonnet, depends upon the ca-
pacity of the head which bears it ! The helmet
of the Castle of Otranto is but a type of its mar-
vellons disproportion. Like the interior of St.
Peter's, at Rome, the first aspect of it over-
whelms the spectator with a deep sense of awe,
and impresses him wtth as full a conviction as
death itself of the microcosm of man.---New
Monthly. Magazine,

Those of our readers who look over the Lon.

only have the unfortunate emigrants excited the spleen of
these writers, but their cause—the cause of justice, free-

LONDON.
WEDNE§DAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1828.

Owing to the prevalence of rery dense fogs,
we have received no French Papers to-day ; but
it is said that two Expresses have arrived from
Paris confirmatory of the capture of Silistria by
the Russians.

A great deal of speculation exists at present
respecting the eourse which the SULTAN is

likely to adopt upon the close of , the campaign,
supposing Silistria to fall as well as Varna. Some
think that he will consent to negotiation, because
he can do so with honour, while others maintain
that he will not, even should Russia make the

first offer and abate part of her pretensions, and

they fortify this opinion by reference to the in-
trepid character of the SULTAN, without recol-
lecting that the. SULTAN is prudent as well as
intrepid, and that prudence -wotild dictate mode-
retion even to the most powerful. It is diffi-
cult, in the absence of facts, to come to any
correct decision -upon matters which, after
all, are, liable to be governed by unforeseen
contingencies. The SULTAN, though he profess
it not; -may be at heart as ready to listen to peace
as ,the Russians would be glad to offer it, but
neither party likes to make a demonstration of
returning kindness, fearful. lest it should be con-
strued into symptoms of weakness, and advantage
be attempted to be taken of it accordingly. It
is just with nations as with -individuals. The
aggressor is either ashamed or too proud to confess
his injustice, and the sufferer will not brook •
to add humiliation to dignity offended. But the
case is deeply aggravated when religious zeal or
national hate is superadded to other causes of
discordance, and this happens to be the fact with
respect to the quarrel between Russia and Turkey. '
What it is the object, and, indeed, the deter-
m illation, of the one to obtain, it is the interest
of the other to withhold ; and, it is clear,
unless the one relax, or the other yield a point or
,wo, that the day of reconciliation is far dis-
Mutual compromise is, we think, the
only safe mode for both to pursue in the present
stage of the dispute. In the meantime, it is
stated by a Morning Contemporary, that "in
he letters from Constantinople the hopes which

;ant.

had been formerly expressed of the PoRTE's
having Consented to the intervention of England
and France, on the basis of the Greek Treaty,

have been unhappily disappointed, as the
PORTE'S acceptance was accompanied with con-
ditions which the Ambassadors of the two
Powers in question have considered them-
selves bound to reject. Mr. STRATFORD
CANNING, who had been staying at Poros for
the purpose of receiving the ultimatum of the
Turkish Government, had, therefore, returned to
Corfu. It was, nevertheless, generally believed
that negotiations, so far from being interrupted,
would acquire additional activity during the
season of the suspension of hostilities ; and by
those who were well acquainted with the real
it was believed that it
situation of the Porte,
would at least yield to the pressing remonstrances
of
.the mediating Powers, more especially as
the successes and progress of the enemy on
h
the Asiatic side :Lull;
thosebeeii of a much more
of the co-operat-
ing nature
ing army in Europe; for it seems that ac-
cording to late accounts from Erzeroum, the
capital of Armenia, Gen. PASICEWITSCII• had
leached the walls of that city, which was in no
condition to make a.defence, and it must soon
after have fallen into his hands. Since the con-
quest of Armenia by the Turks, no foreign
enemy had ever come within two hundred miles
of the frontiers of that kingdom, so that the

present. invasion of it is calculated to make a
great• impression on the minds of the ruling men
at Constantinople. It may be hoped, therefore,

that if the SULTAN has not yet altered his lan-
guage, it is only because he flatters himself that
his apparent consistency and resolution will pro-
cure him the best possible terms."

The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the sth inst.,
brings us intelligence that the Emperor NICHO-
LAS had arrived at Odessa on the night of the
19th October, and immediately proceeded to St.
Peters,burgh, which he expected to reach on the
26th. The Ambassadors were to follow with all
convenient speed.
According to accounts from Vienna, negocia-
tions were still supposed to be carried on between
the Poite and the Mediating Powers, through
the intervention of the European Ministers now
at Constantinople :

ODESSA, OM 21.

His Majesty the Emperor arrived here on the
night of the 19th, on, board the Empress Maria,
and immediately proceeded on his journey, accom-
panied by General Benkendorff. His Majesty thinks
to arrive at St. Petersburgh on the 26th. The Mi-
nisters and Ambassadors from Foreign Powers, who
had accompanied the Emperor to Varna, are every
hour expected here, having embarked at Varna on
the 14th, on board the Panteleimon.

VIENNA, OCT. 29.

We learn, by commercial letters from Constanti-
nople of the 10th, that the city was perfectly tran-
quil. The minds of the people were indeed much
excited by the events of the war, but order is so
well enforced by the Government, that it can-
not •be disturbed except on extraordinary occa-
sions. The Sultan was still in the camp at Ramis
Tchifiik, whither the Reis Effendi and other officers
of State tvere obliged to go very frequently, in order
to take the Sultan's orders. It was believed that
negociations were still carrying on between the Porte
and the mediating Powers, through the Europeau
Ministers still at Constantinople, and this opinion
was confirmed by the occasional arrival of French
couriers from the Morea, by way of Smyrna.

The announcement of the blockade of the Darda-
nelles had caused a great sensation at Pera ; it
was apprehended that, if carried into execution, it
would have an unfavourable effect on the minds
of the people in the Capital. No want of provisions
indeed, was yet felt, but the prohibition of the ex-
portation of corn from Odessa may render it difficult
for the Government to keep its magazines filled in
future. Ibrahim Pacha had sent word from the
Morea that he found himself obliged to evacuate the
Peninsula and its fortresses; at the same time he
proposed to the Porte to send fresh troops thither as
speedily as possible. It is said that he has com-
plained much of the manner in which he was treated
by the foreign Admirals. The troubles that have
broken out in Candia made a great sensation in Con-
stantinople, and the occurrences there are painted in
the most frightful colours.
The Emperor of Russia embarked at Varna on
the 14th for Odessa. Count Nesselrode and the
whole of the Foreign Ministers are to follow his Ma-
jesty. The Grand Duke Michael, Generals Die-
bitsch, Woronzow, and Alexander Benkendorff, ac-
companied his Majesty. Part of the Russian fleet
is to remain for the winter in the port of Varna.
The Grand Vizier is said to be in the neighbourhood
of Bowgas, whither it is said that Omer Vrione,
with his corps and the Captain Pacha, have also gone.

The following is from the Austrian Observer
of the 31st October :

VIENNA, OCT. 31.

The Austrian Observer contains extracts from the
Corfu Gazette, of 4th Oct., relative to the expedition
of the Greeks by sea and land against Prevesa and
the Gulf of Ambracia, which, as we hive already an-
nounced, had various obstacles to contend with.

Another article of the Corfu Gazette says, •" By
accounts from Zante of the 2d inst., we learn that a
Russian brigantine, which was sent to Suda, in
Candia, with letters from the European'Admirals, had
been fired at from that fortress, and much damaged.
On its return to Navarin, on the 27th Sept, with the
news of this treatment, the Russian Admiral imme-
diately sent two ships•of--the-line to Suda to demand
'satisfaction! It was believed, however, that Suda
would not have much to fear from so small a force.

The latest accounts from Malta, received at Corfu,
announced the safe arrival of the Fere Champcyzoise,
Vice--Admiral Ricord.

We understand that the Hamburgh steamer
has arrived at Gravesend, and the Post-office
have sent for the letters. The Hamburgh Mail,
which arrived this morning late, has been anti-
cipated by the last arrival from Hamburgh,
consequently brings no news.

We have received from the City what pur-
ports to be an account of the fog in that quarter,
but the writing is so emblematic of the gloom,
that we can hardly read it. It is " darkness
visible" truly personified.

The fog has been so dense all day in London
that business out of doors is nearly at a stand
still. The hackney and stage-coaches are mea-
suring their gloomy progress with all the cautious
circumspection of Macbeth creeping into the
fatal chamber. Every now and then the cry is
heard " Look out there !" " Look out yourself."
" Mind what you're about—Murder ! Stop I"
with a plentiful addition of hard words, which,
unhappily for the lovers of defamation, are lost in
the fog.

Mr. HUSKISSON arrived in town on Monday
From Paris.

POACHING EXTRAORDINA RY.—A few days
ago a gang of poachers entered the woods uelonging to W.
E. I. BuLwnu., Esq., of Heydon Hall, Norfolk, between
seven and eight o'clock in the evening, and fired upwards
of twenty shots at pheasants. On the outside of the co-
verts was a barouche and four, and two other carriages,
belonging to the poachers. On being discovered, they
drove off
at full speed, in the direction of Norwich.— York
Courcolt.

For--At a very early hour last evening a
dense fog visited the metropolis, and continued until an
early hour this morning. The greatest inconvenience was
caned to the stage-coaches and other vehicles iu conse-
quence, the coachmen finding it almost impossible to pro-
ceed without the assistance of links, which were carried by
persons walking before the horses'-heads.
