We regret to learn that on Saturday evening
last, a melancholy accident occurred at St.
Jolm's College, Oxford. H. PERKINS, Esq.,
Gentleman Commoner of New College, son of
the eminent brewer, was leaving an evening
party, and as he was passing down the steps, his
foot slipped, and he fell to the bottom ; his
ivas dislocated by the fall, and he died a
few neck
hours afterwards. His father had yesterday
nee

London. What renders the circumstance more
peculiarly melancholy, is the fact, that the whole
family had taken apartments in the town, and
were on the point of setting out for Oxford
when the intelligence was communicated to them.

A shocking circumstance occurred at Southern
Hill, near Reading, on Sunday- evening. A la-
bouring man and his wife went out, leaving two
children in bed, having locked the door. The
neighbours were soon after alarmed by the
screams of the children, and one of them having
entered the house by the window, found 'that
the children were attacked by a ferret that had
escaped from his confinement, and found its way
up stairs: The younger child is dreadfully
mangled, in the face, and it is feared will lase
the sight of one eye. The distracted father, on
his return, immediately destroyed the ferocious
