DISCHARGE OF BARNARD GREGORY.—This indi-
vidual, who, it will be remembered, was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment in the Queen's Prison, for a libel on
the Duke of Brunswick, was on Friday discharged from
custody, by an order of Mr. Justiee Wightman. An applica-
ri,s., .. —...1. ~...,1 .v.... Art whi,.l, •••,—. ;,,„ c„,,,„ ,--, a,,
31st ult. ( when it received the royal assent), intitled, " An
Act to stay Execution of judgment for Misdemeanours,
upon giving Bail in Error ;" and it was submitted to his Lord-
ship that the defendant was entitled to his liberation until
a decision was given on the wi it of error allowed in the
cause " The Duke of Brunswick v. Gregory." The words
of the statute are, that in every case of judgment whether
given before or after the passing of this Act, for a misdemeanour,
where the defendant or defendants shall have obtained a
writ of error on such judgment, execution thereupon shall
be stayed until such writ of error shall be finally determined.
The proposed sureties were Mr. M'Lachlan, a tailor, and Mr.
Robinson, a livery stable-keeper ; they gave bail in 100/. each,
and the defendant, who was brought up by a writ of habeas
corpus from the Queen's Prison, gave his recognisance in the
sum of 200/. The condition of the recognisance is that the writ
of error shall be proceeded with, and in case the judgment
of the Court of Queen's Bench should be affirmed, then the
defendant is to be rendered to his former custody to undergo
the sentence recorded. This is the first application under the
new law, which has reference to misdemeanours in which
judgment has been pronounced and writs of error allowed.
The point raised in this cause cannot be determined until
Michaelmas Term.
THE SILVER SCULLS.—On Saturday this great
race, between Mr. Chapman and Mr. Bumpstead, was deter-
mined, contrary to general expectation, in favour of Mr. Chap-
man, after a very fine struggle, rowed under disadvantages of
such rough water, that it was almost questionable whether the
competitors' boats would live the distance. Both gentlemen are
well known to the public as first-rate scullers, and had taken much
pains to get themselves in the best condition for the race. Bet-
ting was 5 and 6 to 4 on Mr. Bumpstead, but the friends of his
opponent were very confident. The start took place at a little
before six from Westminster-bridge, Mr. Lewis, a very dis•
tinguished aquatic amateur, who has had the honour of hold-
ing the sculls, being the umpire. On the signal being given,
Mr. Bumpstead jumped off with the lead, and by the time
they had arrived at the Horseferry was his own and another
length in advance, which he increased another length by the
time they had got to Vauxhall. They continued in this
way up to the church at Battersea, where the variation of
Mr. Chapman coming a trifle nearer, and then again falling
about the same length astern. At the church, Mr. Chap-
man, who rowed in the most beautiful style, neared his
opponent for the fourth or fifth time, and the latter tried to get
away, but could not ; and off Spiller's they were almost scull
and scull. Bumpstead, who had what trifle advantage there
was between them, suddenly changed his course, and in doing
so fouled his larboard scull against the Leander's side, and cer-
tainly lost three strokes by it. Mr. Chapman immediately
shot away from him, and ultimately won by seven or eight
lengths. A number of cutters were out, some of which were so
water-logged as to be scarcely able to proceed; and although
two or three,pair• oared boats went down from the roughness of
the weather, their rowers were fortunately saved.
FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.—An accident of a
fatal nature took place on Thursday, the 31st ult., at the
No. 1 I pit, Dundyvan, by which two men lost their lives, and
several others were seriously injured. It appears the pit had
been laid idle a few days previous, and on the men descending
to their employment, their lights came in contact with the gas,
which exploded. The names of the sufferers are William
Ingram, a married man, who has left a wife and five children
to deplore his fate ; John Allan, a young man, died after being
taken to the infirmary. The other sufferers are of the re•
spective names of Wotherspoon, Stevenson, and Hodskies,
who are in the way of recovery.—Another of those fatal
colliery accidents, now becoming too common, occurred
at Jarviston Colliery on Friday, the Ist of August, when
Walter Bulloch, by some mismanagement in drawing him
up in the pit, fell from the pulleys down the pit, and
was killed ; he has left a wife and family to mourn his less. It
is said that his two sons were at the pit bottom when he fell,
he having forbid them to ascend with him, lest anything should
happen.—On Tuesday last, at four o'clock in the morning, a
collier and two boys met with a very serious accident in a coal-
pit, near Shettleston. One of the boys had his leg broken,
and was otherwise considerably bruised and lacerated ; the
other boy had his arm broken ; and the collier, who is the
father of the boys, was also very seriously contused. Dr. J.
Paterson, of Parkhead, who was visiting a patient in the vici-
nity, immediately reduced their fractured limbs, dressed their
wounds, and promptly rendered them every assistance in his
power.— Glasgow Saturday Post.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.-0.1 Sunday
afternoon an accident, nearly attended with fatal consequences,
occurred off Bankside, Southwark, to a boy named James
Webster, of Falcon-court. Borough. He was amusing himself
on one of the coal-barges, when he fell into the water and dis-
appeared, but the timely aid of a waterman who was passing
was the means of saving his life.
LEITII—STRANGE OCCURRENCE.—OH Thursday
afternoon, about four o'clock, two gentlemen, in passing Ann-
field, observed a young man undressing at the bulwarks east
of Newhaven, as if for the purpose of sea-bathing. Having
thrown off his bonnet, jacket, and shoes, he ran into the sea
with the rest of his clothes on, like a person determined un
committing suicide. He struggled for a few minutes in the
water, and then altogether disappeared. As none of the gen-
tlemen could swim, they instantly gave the alarm, and
in the
_ _
course of a short time a boat, with four seamen, proceeded to
the spot, and succeeded, by means of grappling irons, in
raising the body cut of the water. It was immediately taken
to the rooms of the Humane Society, where every means
were used to restore animation, but without effect. The de-
ceased
appeared to have been a sailor, arid seemed about
twenty-four years of age. He was dressed in a fur bonnet, a i
blue jacket, and a brown vest. I e was fair complexioned,
with fine features, and auburn hair. There was a watch in
his pocket, which, from a paper inside, appeared to have been
repaired by Mr. Morrison, Alloa, on the 29th of July. We
mention these things in the hope that they may lead to hil
identification.— Scotsman.
It is rumoured in the circles of fashion that the
lady of a deceased Viscount is about to enter again the honour-
able bonds of matrimony with a gentleman possessing large
landed property in one of.the midland counties.
Wednesday is the anniversary of the natal day of
her Majesty the Queen Dowager, who will complete her 133 d
year, when the event will be celebrated with the customary
rejoicings at Busby and Hampton.
