We ca n remember, in our juvenile days, read-
with 4tonishment the account of the roc bird carrying
114;14o sailor, from the Valley of Diamonds; but we
tills week, to relate the actual fact of a bird having
%/4,44 to SI me considerable distance, with a boy of about
e Yea; rs of age, and weighing last. Albs. The circum-
'o,o:_7l ar e these:—On Tuesday evening, about seven
64;1,, 5 Ir. NtnrrrweALE, a tailor, of Carlton-street,
ft, ved t 4 peacock upon a hay-stack, a short distance
W:7 the gravel wharf on the Trent side, and near to
pwc4ll-lai ae. He ascended a ladder, with a young com-
aned WILLIA3L RICHARDS, son of Mr. JOHN
vii,Cl.ll4ltEd of Knotted.alley, and tied the creature's legs
tl,-,
",his I tandkerchief ; he then directed the lad to hold
fu; i'ird till he got upon tho ladder, which her per-
,4led, by grasping its legs ; but the bird, not fancying
41:N 414 dint, spread its wings, and, after fluttering a
14,,,tt1e !e a bold sally from the hay-stack. The lad still
tZt, his hold, and the peacock actually carried him over
,„Liedge, in a straight line, upwards of twenty yards,
bj struggling, the youth brought his aerial voyage
sal end and the bird came to the ground, was secured,
bruolght to Nottingham. It was afterwards found to
bsloo; to. Mrs. SMITH, of liridgeford, and was returned the
•'.4loorinii: day. The hay-stack is about twenty-two feet
'qheight.—,NOttinghant Mercury.
SHOCKING CISIDENT.—On Sunday week,
inquwit wail held by Mr. Wool), the Coroner, on view
kithe body of CHARLES Smrru, at the house of JERE-
to 44 Bonus, at the sign of the King's Arms, in the
uLbhip of Follyfoot, who met with his death on the
7itZ(ding Thursday, under the folliming dreadful circum-
zzip.e.:--The deceased was servant to Mr. PULLEIN,
'el') of Follyfoot, and was found by JEREIIIAH WEST,
4.ther, miller in Mr. P.'s service, on Thursday evening,
v43:4€* dead upon the shelling-stone, with -his feet on
floor of the mill, and his body severed in two, as
Zir as possible across the middle. One of his thighs
also very much cut, and one side of his face and head
4c4,, crushed down to his mouth. He had only entered the
v 7", in good health, about a quarter of an hour before be
1.14° found- in this awful condition. It is conjectured, that
e deceased had been throwing the little stone wheel out
14 the gears, and that the tipper wheel had caught him and
t~t"1"1 him between it and the grey-stone nut, and so
thi'4ed him to death. The Jury returned their verdict,
bzt 'the deceased was accidentally killed by the ma-
'iViery of the mill."—Deodand on the machinery, ls.—
°7l Courant.

811ORERANI.—We have tlt4 week the painful
k7c, of recording the following particulars of a shocking
ent, attended with the loss of two lives. On Friday
t, three of the crew of the brig Xing, Captain Jonar-
I;t:,}4a, from Memel, having passed the evening at the
Thin Inn here, proceeded about 11 o'clock with the
tt'ttlitautiou of getting on board the vessel, which lay about
%if a mile down the river. When abreast of her,
hailed a person employed in watching a raft of
i der alongside, who put off in a small boat, took them
and had got but a few yards from the shore, when the
uPeet, and the workman (Ilmtvey) and one of the
ol'Qrs (Baocr.rr) were drowned. The others were provi-
ltially enabled to swim to the shore, and procuring an-
i:er boat, made an ineffectual search after their unfor-
'late companions, who the following morning were, bow-
discovered lying on the sand about 80 yards from the
441. The bodies, although but six boors had elapsed
°l,rn the time of the occurrence of the accident to the period
v
N,7tn fautl, presented a shocking spectacle. An Inquest
holden on Sunday morning, and a verdict of Acciden-
' Death returned. Poor Hanvev, whose civility had
tZeured for him the appellation of " Civil Ila.anv,"
left a wife and infant : the poor woman has since re-
11,4i,nkel in a state bordering en distraction, and Beocxrr

holllll4gly about three weeks old. The old ones were in a
about 300 yards distant, one of which was killed.
tat-}... brought the young one home, fed it with milk,
until it could eat other food, and called it "Ben," which
4fe it knew and answered to in a month's time, and in
A 0
months it would fellow him like a deg, and aceom-
Y him a-fishing, and many persons have seen him dive

COURT OF KING'S BENCII.
SMUGGLING.
The SOLICITOR-GENCRAE moved the judgment
of the Court on Stephen Hart alias John Scott,
who was convicted of attempting to bribe two sea-
men of the Ramilieg, which was engaged on the
preventive service off Romney, to permit the land-
ing of a cargo of smuggled spirits.
It appeared that the bribe which the defendant
offered to the seamen, was a suit of clothes each,
and .ss. for every tub of spirits landed.
The defendant being called upon to state what he
had to say in his defence, positively denied that he
had attempted to bribe the seamen. He said they had
come to him and asked him, if be knew any one
who wanted to land smuggled goods, for that they
were tired of the service and wished to desert.

Mr. Justice BAILEY pronounced the judgment of
the Court, which was, that the defendant should
be confined for four months in the gaol of St. Au-
gustin, near Canterbury, and kept to hard labour.
