DaBADPUL ACCIDENT, AND DEA'III OF THE
COUNTESS OF DENBIGH FROM FRIGHT.-011 Friday
morning, at twelve o'clock, a dreadful occurrence
took place in Eaton-square, Pimlico, at a louse now
being finished for the Earl of Denbigh. It appears
that a large cornice had just been fixed against the
side of the building by the bricklayers, when the
latter being about to leave (it being their dinner hour,
the cornice fell with tremendous force, and caused
the scaffolding to give way, and the three men were
precipitated into the road from a height of nearly
fifty feet. The Countess of Denbigh, who was
passing at the time, and who witnessed the scene, was
sleeted that she was instantly conveyed home,
and, we regret to say, that her Ladyship expired in the
afternoon at three o'clock. The Countess was enciente,
and has had eleven children. The poor men were
conveyed to St. George's Hospital.
NORFOLK.—STRANGE STORY.—Messrs. Culley, of
Cossey, have lately built a didling boat, and employed
men to take the soil from the bottom of the river in
front of their mills. A few days since these men
found a human skeleton, and a coroner's inquest has
since been held. It appears that about nine years ago
a Jew, whose name was said to be Abrams, visited Ta-
verham in the course of his trade, sold some small
articles, for which he gave credit to the purchasers,
and left the public house there in the evening, on his
way to the Lion, at Drayton (the next village), with,
as now reported, a sum of 901. in his possession. At
Drayton he disappeared, nor did he ever again come
to claim the amounts due to him at Taverham. Some
time afterwards a man named Page was apprehended
for sheep-stealing, tried, and sentenced to be trans-
ported for life. During his imprisonment he told
divers stories of robberies and crimes, most of which
turned out to be false. But, amongst other things,
he wrote a letter, promising that if he were released
from gaol and brought to Cossey, "he would
them that, from under the willow tree, which -would
make every hair in their heads rise up." The man
was not released, but the river was drawn, and some
sheep's skins and sheep's heads were found, which
were considered to be the objects Page alluded
to. From under this willow tree, however, the
skeleton has been fished up by the didlers, and it is
said there is proof that the corpse was fixed down by a
muck crome. The common belief in the neighbouring
villages is, that these are the bones of the missing
Jew, and hat Page knew of the murder if he were
not an accomplice. The Magistrates, we understand,
believe that they have obtained a clue to the mur-
derers, and have been and still are earnestly engaged
in pursuing the discovery."--Norwich Mercury,
LAST WORDS OF LORD RUSSELL ON THE SCAF-
FOLD.—" I did believe, and do still, that Popery is
breaking in upon this nation, and those who advance
it will stop at nothing to carry on their designs ; and
I am heartily sorry that so many Protestants give
their helping hand to it."
