DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.—On Friday set
during the performance of the " Battle of Navarin) di
ASTLEY'S Theatre, Mrs. WEsx had to present a
Mr. LAWRENCE, in order to intimidate him from fothr`lobi
her. Not imagining that there was any wadding in 't2
pulled the trigger, when the weapon went off, and the
tents lacerated the face of Mr. LAWRENCE, which was pf
figured in a shocking manner. Fortunately there wa'jje
hall in it, or the result must have proved fatal. The.eeci,
tress of the lady may be imagined, but cannot be descr'",.,J
Surgical assistance was soon on the spot, but is fr'lie
Mr. L. will be partially deprived of his sight.

I ELLIOTT finished the part, and has since performed it.

On Thursday last, during the visitation 'set
mon at St. Mary's church, Beverley, a sparrow 10 'set
ese
upon the head of a person asleep, and, by the shalt'
its talons, suddenly roused hint to a sense of duty; it
flew off, and lighted upon the hand of another Per 131,
whose head was resting on his open palm, and who n4ifei.
from that circumstance, have been mistaken fora tir°,ler
subject. He attempted to catch the sparrow with the
hand, but is vain; it then took its stand upon the 4/
apparently, keeping a. sharp look-out for the sleeper

A few days since, a young man in this p
of the name of SHIACK, made the narrowest escape `voe'
his life we ever recollect to have heard of. He 1336.,g");
up to the top of the steeple of our town's new church,- „I•J'
is now advancing to a state of completion; and while etf
ing on part of the scaffolding, he laid hold of one
ropes which are used for raising up the stones fet'lV
ground. Imagining that the block to which it was P We
was sufficiently ftrr•ly fixed, he had thoughtlessly rest
pistoling
whole weight on it. The block being loose, bent ot
immediately ran round with great velocity, and l'e4bie
course,. fell to the ground; but, fortunately, when tr
le-
a few inches of it, the rope became spent, and be et' 14
taining a firm hold of it, the violence of the fall Waitioet
that means broke, and the young luau escaped o'''s
receiving the slightest injury. Had the rope beeu..sbeen,
feet longer or shorter, instantaneous death must hs/eoler'
the inevitable consequence. It is a somewhat lea
circumstance, that although the scaffolding extend&
the base to the top of the building,. he never came'" "fbe
tact with it in the course of his dangerous desceut- I'ol4
height from which he fell is, we should suppose, very
short of 100 feet. —ElOin c",

SALE or THE AMERICAN WA,- woe'
TRICE.—A large assemblage of respectable company
attracted, on Tuesday at the Exhibition-room in lit' eP
street, where the celebrated black walnut-tree wad r
to sale by auction, by Mr. Roe :s, of Covent-gay' 10.1
had been on view for several days previously, 811(1'111'
excited a considerable degree of public curiosity-
aged Monarch of the American Forest grew aboel et
centuries ago at the junction of Silver and Walnut
'near Lake Erie. When growing it measured at
36 feet in circumference, and 12 feet in diameter
height previous to branching was SO feet, the
height 150 feet. From its being irregularly sh3l'e*"./1

p io
after being excavated, converted into the bar-room 41
tavern, located near the spot where it grew. Tbe 01
that has been preserved con iists of the lower port

exhibited.
