• SHOCKING DEATH BY •• BuvNING.---Tuesday
evening some persons were alarmed on passing
through Essex-street, Mile end, by hearing tint
cry of '' fire," which continued for a length of
time ; at length a woman who occupies an apart-
ment in that street, on looking through the win-
dow, saw a mass of flames in an' opposite room.
• She ran as fast as possible, and informed the
peofile of it, and went np stairs, and on opening
the door found an elderly Lady,
.who was by
herselt in the house, sitting in an arnt chair
by the fire, all in a blaze. Several pails of water
were thrown over her, and the fistnes were soon
extinguished. It appeared tint her husband had
just gone out, and she being feeble and unwell,
when her clothes caught fire, she was unable to
move, and remained in that dreadful situation till
assistance arrived, by which time wine parts of
her body were burned nearly to a cinder. She
was taken to the London Hospital, where every
assistance was afforded, but she died in the greatest
agony soon after her arrival.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT -We have often had oc-
casion to notice the many instances of the dread-
ful effects of tire, and, the following we record
for the caution of patents and others, having the
charge of children :—On Thursday, the 3d inst.,
while the servant and a washerwoman had gone
to the cellar, a few paces from the kitchen of Mr.
H. D. BRLL, grocer, Poplar-lane, Leith, to get
water, one of his sons, a fine pro►nising boy,
about three years and a half old, who was accus-
tomed to rise early, was in the kitchen, about six
o'clock in the morning, and although a small
stick had been taken several times from him, and
hid, he again got bold of it, which he had put
into the fire, and touching his night-clothes, set
them in a blaze. On feeling the effectb, be •
screamed out, when his father leapt out of bed,
and caught him in his arms, while the flames- were
nearly at his shoulders. The father, whose hands
and other parts of his body were scorched, con-
soled himself with the pleasing idea, that he had
saved his boy from being burnt to death. The
boy continued, as was supposed, to (lo well, and
endured the pain arising from his thigh and left
side being burnt, with great patience, until Mon-
day morning, when the inflammation which had
taken place proved fatal, and he diet! about ten
o'clock of that forenoon, leaving his patents to
lament his untimely fate.---(Edinburgh Courant,
