DREADFUL OCCURRENCE AND Loss OF
LIFE.-Qne of the most horrible events which it has been
our duty 6 record, took place in this town, about two
o'clock this; Morning. The following are the facts, as far
as welaVe been able to ascertain them :—A young man,
of the name of Mills; the son of a respectable publican, in
Port-street, was':supposed to be in the neighbourhood of
the Collegiate Church, when a quarrel ensued respecting
some females,' With a person of the name of Harris, who
inflicted with a large knife several dreadful wounds in his
breast and neck. 'Mills, it appears, after being wounded,
proceeded as far as Church Gates, corner of Hanging
Ditch, not being able to proceed further. He was taken
to the door of the Falstaff, when Mr. Oilier and seve-
ral other surgeons was immediately sent for, but the
unfortunate young man expired in a few minutes after
their arrival. Harris was taken into custody by two of
the watchmen, and lodged in the New Bailey. The body
was removed to the Spread Eagle, Hanging Ditch, to await
the Coroner's inquest.—Manchester Courier.
Rather more than a twelvemonth has now
elapsed since the commencement of the spirited undertaking
to reduce one of the steepest hills on the turnpike-road be_
tween Uppingliain and Caldecott, which has always been
an impediment to the commercial interest and convenience
of the neighbouring inhabitants. Although we cannot at
present announce the completion of this work, yet the ac-
complishment of what has been done sufficiently proves the
zeal with which it has been prosecuted. The original de-
clivity of the hill was a fall of lin 5 feet. The hill is now
cut through to the average depth of 15 feet, with 27 feet
at bottom and 60 feet at top, and to the length of 874 yards.
The rise on the north side has also been reduced SS yards
in length ; and that on the south 105 yards. The mate-
rials which composed these hills (except the hard stone)
have been employed in filling up the two valleys, which
now present an elevation of 17 feet above. the grass fields
on each side of the road. The valley:.on the north side
the cut is not yet complete, frorn,watt(of more materials ;
and although the undertaking ctees'not at this time proceed
very briskly, yet it is hoped the trtiOtes will not relax their
hitherto well-directed efforts towaridt its Completion. The
enterprise is unquestionably most laudable, and great credit
is due to Mr. Parr (the contractor) for his exertions. The
only stone found in the course of cutting was a great num-
ber of immense blocks of pebble stone, some of which ex-
ceeded two tons in weight; several beds of clay, and some
beds of sand, were also met with. The length of improved
road when complete will exceed 1072 yards, presenting a
rise not greater than 1 in 22 feet where there was before
a rise of 1 in 5 feet as above stated, making the road far
more desirable than it has hitherto been for commercial and
other pnrposes..—Stamford Mercury.
THE MARCH OF SENTIMENT.—There are different
ways of wooing, but we heard of one last night that
is rather unique. A gentleman, who had been dining
at the George IV., when walking in front of the
house, about three o'clock in the afternoon, had a
letter slipped into his hand by an elegantly attired
young lady, who passed him with never a word but
a smile. The following is a copy of the letter,
which we transcribe literally, for the benefit of all
young ladies who wish to imitate such a bright
example :
