YELLOW FEvEH.—lmportam accounts have
been received from Gdirnl ar and Ca:-Hz. An ex-
press had arrived at the former place, stating that
the yellow fever had made i;s appearance at Cadiz
with great malignity, and that not only the inha-
bitants of ihe town, but the military in the neigh-
bourhood, had taken the infection. The letters
from the British fortress are dated on the 2d inst..
and they add, that immediate pree.intions had beers
token by the Governor, to preve:it all communica-
tion with Spain, and that a cordon was to be
established without delay. All intercourse would.
thus be interrupted, unless the regulations of qua-
rantine were observed. The da.es from Caciz r.re
one day later, and ther,tate that the fever had been.
brought by the Asia, fi otn Ilavanaah, where it has
made considerable ravages during the last fear
months. Half the crew of the Asia is said to be
intectet) or dead of the dreadful malady.—Br
advises from Odessa of the 3d tilt. a Ft elicit
vessel had art iveil there from Constantinople the
day before, with the plague on board, and would
be stink. Four of the crew were landed at the
hospital; three of them (lied the same night, and
the other was not expected to sursive.
MAIDSTONE, AUG. 2.1 —The present wea!lier
appears, particularly fat ourable for the hops, ~ndt
they grow so fast that it is thought picking will
generally commence in the course of the next week.
Some grounds in this neighbourhood are af.
fected with the mould, which has much in-
creased in them the last few days, and there
are also indications of the red mould in grounds
about Alalling.
EXECUTION.—On Saturday Edward Byrne anti
Patrick Whelan %vet-, executed m front of the
New Gaol, for burglary and robbery, porqoant
to their sentence at the late Assizes. The tin-
fortunate men, we regret to say, evinced
none of that _feeling or concern which is
natural for men in such a trying situation. Both
of them persisted in declaring thir innocence.—
Byrne said " his life was sworn away by his own
sister-in-law!" and Whelan affirmed, that his pro-
secutrix (with whom he admitted he had Coll bitni
for years,) swore against hint " because he would.
not give her money to release her husband one
of gaol !" Immediately after this declaration,
he jumped off the platform, and his fellow -suff,rer
followed his example, long before tile execu-
tioner could have had time to draw it front tinder
them ! Bytne died almost without a struggle ;
but Whelan, who did not let himself off in the
same spirited manner as the other, and who had.
not so great a length of rope, was convulsed for
some time. The former was about thirty years of
age, and the latter sixty. They were natives of
the County of Callow.—(Wexford Herald, Au-
gust 16.)
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Friday last a poor
woman named Bolton, employed at harvesting at
Farleigh, Surrey, and who slept amongst the
corn in tbe field with her child, a boy Only seven
months old, lighted a fire to prepare her break-
fast close to the spot where she slept. After break-
fast she went to get some water at a remote part
of the field, leaving the child sleeping in thg
corn, and, as she thought, leaving the fire
In her absence the stubble, by some
means, caught fire, and communicated with
the corn where the child lay, which by this time
ts as in a sound sleep, and melancholy to re-
late, before assistance strived, was completely
burned to a cinder. An inquest was held upon.
the body before Air. JEMMETT, the Coroner for
Surrey ; when it was stated, that in the absence
of the mother, a stranger came by, and finding
the tinder-box which she used, he lighted his
pipe by it, and left it burning, which caused
lie disaster. It did not appear that he was
aware of the child being there, and the Jury, tin-
der all the circumstances, returned their Verdict--
