MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHF..—On the morning of
the 27th of August, fourteen men, belonging to Con-
way, went out in a small boat to finish the loading
if a fiat lying near Ormshead, bound with pavement
flags for Liverpool. After having accomplished
their work, they left the vessel about ten at nitlit, and
began to row towards Conway ; in a short while,
their cries were heard as if in.great danger, but the
vessel being a-ground, no assistance could be ren-
dered to them. The cries of distress continued until
este loud yell was uttered, after which there was nni-
1r real silence. ' Next morning the boat was found
lull of water and drifted up the river. Seven hats,
1. two jackets, and it waistcoat, were found on the wa-
-1 ter's edge ; but none of the bodies have been washed
*there. Conway is filled with lamentation. Ten of
the men have left large families. Eleven widows
-were unfortunately made, and thirty-five children left
' fatherless. Subscriptions for their relief have been
set on foot, and the people, touched with their suf-
ferings, have been extremely liberal. .
Saturday last a handspike, which a man was using,'
fell out of one of the tops of the Childers, at PoFts-
mouth, struck Lieutenant T. W. KENT' tipon the
bead, and male. is ee;Y dangerous fracture. He was
immesliapliccinyeyed to Haslas I lospital.
A *ammo; reamed swain, was drowned last
week lathe- Medway, near the spot where Mr. Finch
and his sons perished a few weeksogo. Swain was
navigating a Marge, 'when be discovered that the ves-
sel was sinlcing,; he jumped overboard, and swam
towards the shore ; but when he thought he had ar-
rived within his depth he attempted to walk, but his
feet sunk so deep in the mud, that be was unable to
extricate himself, arid perished.

BOWAVIIIEM—Oneof the country collectiag derks'
of an eminent brewer, wasooFtidaycharged with em-
uezzlinglyarious sums of money received on account of
hid •emPioYers. Pearkes, the officer, produced a
number of letters he found, on the prisoner, among
which are several that had been sent to the brewery,
complaint; of errors in the accounts, and which the
prisoner connived to get possession of, on their ar-
rival by the post. The necessary witnesses not be-
ing present to prove the facts, he was remanded.
J. Sheargold, in custody on the charge of the mur-
der ot.W. Bryant, was discharged : it appearing, by
the testimony of the Surgeons, that the death could
not be absolutely attributed to the blows he had re-
ceived from ttle prisoner in the battle ; and in which
the &ceased was the aggressor.
GUILMIA LL.—Satut day R. Marshall was charged
hi J. Phillingham with picking his pocket of his
handkerchief on Friday night. The prosecutor sta-
ted, that as he was going through the fair he felt a
person drawing out his handkerchief, and on turning
irouad he secured the prisoner before he could throw
it away. He was fully commiued for trial.
Saturday John Thoinpron, a groom, was charged,
by one of the constables in Bartholomew Fair, with
having attempted to pick his pocket the preceding
evening, between eight and nine o'clock. The
young man denied the charge, and stated, that he
went to the Fair for the purpose of seeing two beauti-
ful tigers, received as a present, and sold by his mas-
ter, the Duke of Norfolk, to a Lady, who exhibited
them to support her father, who was confined for
debt in the Fleet prison. The mob being great, he
was driven, he said, against the constable, and his
hand might touch his pocket, but he had no intention
to rob him or any other person.
Mr. Alderman ANSLEY, wishing to ascertain the
truth of his story, asked him whether his Grace the
Duke of Norfolk was in town? His answer was,—
" No, he is in Sussex, with his regiment, the Sussex
Militia.

Q. Is not the Duke fond of having a menagerie of hls own ?"
—A. " Yes, but he has not a fancy for those beasts, tigers."
Q. " His Grace keeps animals, don't he, at Arundel Castle ?"
—A
14 Yes, he has hounds there." _ _

The lid then stated, that he had been two years in
the Duke's service, and could produce the servants
left in town to give him a character. He was re-
manded till his Grace's Steward could appear, in
corroboration of his statement.

Bartholomew Fair exhibited on Saturday night a
scene of riot and confusion which has seldom been ex-
ceeded. • The influx of persons of all descriptions
was immense, and at ten o'clock every avenue lead-
ing to the Fair was crammed with an impenetrable
mob. Those who happened to be in the interior of
the mob could not be extricated, and those who were
outside were in the most imminent danger of being
crushed to death against the booths. Several fe-
males- fainted and were trodden under foot, others
forced their way on the top of the crowd, and
crawling on their heads, were rescued from their pe-
rilous situatson by the performers in the booths. We I
lament to state that many serious accidents occurred,
several limbs were broken, and one or two lives were
lost. The most distressing scene that occurred, was
that of a fine child, about 12 months old, having
I been suffocated in the arms of its mother. The tin-
fortunate woman did not discover the hapless tate of
' her infant until she reached Giltspur-street, when she
rent the air with the most frantic shrieks ; while her
husband, who accompanied her, and who had the ap-
pearance of a decent tradesman, stood mute with the
dead body of his child in his arms, which he regarded
with a look of indescribable agony. The pick-
pockets were, as usual, active, and, in many cases,
eminently successful in their gleanings.
Yesterday morning, at eight o'ch:ck, a decent
looking man was found in the area of the new build-
ings of the Admiralty, with his head fractured. He
was completely senseless, and appeared to be about
50 years of age. It is supposed that he had been at
Bartholomew fair, as there was a quantity of ginger-
bread nuts found in his pocket. He was carried to
Middlesex Hospital.
Motu:ire.— Some jocularities having passed yester-
day, at dinner,,between a young man and the wife of
a fishmonger, of the name of Dodd, resident at West
Ham, Essex, the husband, enraged at what he con-
strued into an improper familial icy, plotted a knife,
with which he was eating, into the heart of the unfor-
nate woman ; her death was instantaneous. Dodd I
was immediately secured.
The head of a female, with golden hair, and teeth
extraordinary for whiteness, was found by two men,
buried in a moss in the neighbourhood of Troome.—
Two men recoilected healing the cries of murder one
evening, about two years ago, at that part. All
search and enquiry has hitherto proved fruitless,
alter the name of the murdered person.
A few days since a seaman, belortging to the Gem:-
CESTZR, lying off the Scheldt, confessed to have
committed a murder fifteen years since. The cir-
cumstances of which, as at present understood, are,
that he went on shore froM one of the ships at Spit-
head to Portsmouth, and the Midshipman in charge
of the boat, had orders not to allow him to leave it ;
that all the other men having left the spot, he pushed
past the Midshipman, byplunging hit knife into his
body. The Midshipman died-. and the perpetrator
left England fur several years he has ever since
found his life a dreadful burden, and at length has
',been constrained to confess the crime. He has been
removed to the Monmouth, the flag-shipin the Downs.
An Inquest was held on Friday afternoon, at St.
Bartholoinew's Hospital, before THOMAS SIIELTON
Esq. Coroner for the City of London, on view of the
body of a young child, who met its death on the day
.preceding, by falling out of a w;ndow, near Finsbury-
square. Verdict—Accidental Death.
Theirsday week, about two o'clock, the neighbour-
hood of Dewsbury was visited by one of the most
awful storms of lightning, thunder, and rain, ever re-
-1 membered in that place. Starr-End Mill, near Earl-
? sheaton, was struck with the lightning on the roof,
and a cavity was made large enough to admit a man;
and, Melancholy to relate. William Elsworth (who
via* working with tines others in the top room,) was
struck dtad on the spot. The vivid flame then de-,
scended to the earth, down the wall. In the lower
fluor, a youth was struck insensible from the stocks
at which be was working, he however soon recovered.

'‘,V HEN Men of Education and professional skill
use persevering endeavours to discover the most safe and
certain method of treating a few prevailing Diseases, the success-
ful result of their experience is the best proof of superiority.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. Surgeons, have been int;uced to snake
the cure of the following the object of their particular study, via
a certain Disorder, frequently contracted in a moment of intoxi-
cation, and its concomitants, Strictures astd Gleets, which, by
an improved plan, are speedily and effectually cured; as also de-
bility, whether arising front Bacchanalian indulgences, long resi-
dence it ".4rtn climates, ei a secret solitary vice, too of en un-
happily pursued by the youth of both sexes, in the one causing
sterilb y or barrenness, sad in the other a numerous train Qf ner-
vous diseases, which, if not timely remedied, terminate in bur°.
tence and consumption. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, %lean r the consequence of such baneful habits, or
arising from any other cause, by which the powers of the consti-
tution became • Vetbled, as regularly educated Surgeons s.f Lon-
don, they offer a nun, safe, and speedy restoration to mend and
vigorous health. •
The result of a long and extensive practice has enabled them,
by a superior method, to remove venereal complaints, however
inveterate or complicated, without subjecting the patient to the
least restraint in diet or exercite; and in recent Cases where an
early application isanade on discovery of the infection, they fre-
quently perform a cure in the short space of two days. The un-
precedented success of their nrode of treatment. (which has never
been known to fail in one siegle instance in a practice of 15 years,
during which period many thousand persons of both sexes bare
been cured, teen after severe and injurious methods had bees
pursued by ether Prac.itioners without effect), induces them In
thus publicly offer their advice.
I'o be consulted daily personally, or by letter, by persons of
'ither sex. Letters from the country, containing a Bank-note,

William Croltt, late of the Borough of Saltash but now of
the Borough of Plymouth, in the county of Devoo, do voluntarily
snake oath that I was afflicted with a cancer in my face for up-
wards of ten months,. I had a very painful wound seated in my
nose, the greatest part of nsy face was dreadfully inflamed, atten-
' sled with the most acute pain that could possibly be endured—my
head was also distracted with pain, and my eyes so severely affect-
ed that I could not bear the light, and obliged me to sit whole days
together with my head ea my knees or some other support ; dur-
ing my affliction I tried various medicines, u well twos the fa-
culty, as others, without receiving the least relief, and the disease
increased daily; worn out with pain, no prospect of relief, and
having exhausted the little earnings of many hard years labour, I
was almost reduced to a state of despondency, when I was advised
to make trial of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscorbutic Dropii ;
the strong recommendation of those who had received cares from

the medichte gave me hope it would succeed, and this hope was
realised by the time I had taken the second bottle, the pain en-
tirely left me, the vomit, daily got better, and by the time I had
taken Ave Intuits I gained a perfect cure.
