A short time since an elderly Lady, of the name
Of STYLES, died in Church-street, Windsor. She
%as of penurious habits, and left a considerable
property, Some of the clothes which she wore
Were given to her nurse, a poor woman of very
tespeetable character : amongst these was a pair
of "id stays, which the deceased had worn till her
• '4l moments. The nurse, in endeavouring, to re-
hair them, found Banknotes to the amount of
101, secreted in-the lining. With exemplary ho-
ne.
-ty she initnediately tack back the same to the
t*ectitors of the deceased.
LANIENTABLE CATATROPnE,s—rnIC 'following
• "t!atressing accident happened at Tewkesbury, on
ill:lorday afternoon :—As Lieut. Richard Brydges,
N. with 'his brother Thomas, a midshipman,
11,ndhis-yonngest brother, Charles (all sons of Mr.
"Ydges, of that Borough), accompanied by Lieu-
' tt!tint Butcher, R. N., were sailing in 'a plea-
- 14re-boat upon the river Severn, about midwa
1; y
"ween the Upper and 'Lower Lode, a sudden
Eust of wicd upset the boat ; and, melancholy
r" relate, the whole of them were drowned,
with the exception of Mr. Thomas Brydges, who
4ith very great difficulty (owing to the strength
of ;he current occasioned by the flood) got to the
sburein the !new exhausted state. Mr. Brydges
114 d sailed down the river from Tewkesbury
with a party, hilt got on shore at the Upper Lode,
f" await their return, and get refreshments provided
for them ; and thus probably he escaped the dreadful
fail--which, in a few minutes, overtook his un-
Mfortunate 'children and their friend. Lieutenant
rydges was in his 26t1i year.
