ABERDEEN, NOVEMBER 18.

Tuesday last, after a period o f uncommonly mild 1
weather, the wind suddenly shifted to the northward, 1,.
bringing with it all the rigour of winter.. During that 1
night the gale increased with frost and snow, which
have sincecontinued with great severity. In the country I
the snow lies to a considerable depth, so that in some 1
places the communication is nearly stopped; and such i
has been the violence of the storm, particularly at its I
commencement, that a man is said to have perished :
in the snow on Tuesday night, on the road between
Cairney and Keith.
The following melancholy accident, affording, among
many others, a fatal example e‘f the danger of leaving
children alone, occurred on Wednesday last at Footdee. I
A fine boy, of four years of age, being left alone in the I
house, near a fire almost extinguish:A, had collected
some shavings of wood, and kindled so that the flames
caught his clothes, and being still increased by the
child running out into the open air, they had so far
enveloped the little sufferer, that before they could be
subdued, he was burnt in the most shocking manner ;
and after enduring great agony, died next morning.
Some days ago in the Old Town, while a man, of the
name of Robb, was employed in cleaning a window,
he fell backward'into the street ; and, although only
from a height of six or eight feet, was killed on the
spot, having, as is supposed, received a fatal blow
on the back part of the head.
Last week a sailor, in a state of intoxication, fell
from the fore-topmast rigging near the cross-trees of a
brig, at the Quay, and striking a rope in his fall, was
thereby precipitated with great violence on the deck
of another vessel, from which he was thrown into the
water. Several people being at hand, one or two of
them jumped into a boat, and rescued the man at the
1 moment he was on the point of sinking. He was taken
1 up to appearance lifele-•, and conveyed home; where
, proper means being used, he was restored to hissenses,
and next day so far recovered asto be abletogoon board
his vessel, having only received two or three bruises.

Three men, in a boat, with neither mast, sail, or
oars, were picked up, at about two o'clock in the
morning of Saturday sc'nnight, by the boat
_of the
Roebuck. They give no account of themselves ; they
are supposed to be army deserters from the Isle of
Wight, as the boat in which they were litlMig-§ to a
fisherman at King's-Key. .

NVI NCit r s r La, Nov. 18—Andover Sheep Fair was held yester-'
day. 'Me pens presented the appearance of an ample supply, an
immensely large number being brought far sale. The.purchasers
were, however, so numerous and spirited, that the whole were
sold at an early hour, full 15s. per head dearer than last year, and
1 many who wished to purchase were disappointed.
At the Cheese Fair, this morning, the situation of buyer and
seller was exactly reversed. A large quantity of cheese was
pitched, but few wholesale purchasers were in attendance. The
sale was in consequence very fiat, and good cheese was porch:A(ld
i at £3 3s. per cwt.—the general top price £3 16s. prime old So-
! ruersetshire £4 105. Many dealers and dairymen, who had
brought cheese from a considerable distance, at a heavy expence,
sold for less than the home price; and after all, a large quantity
' (nearly one third of the whole) remained unsold. . -
