Westmiuster Bridge has, since New Year's Day,
been illuminated with gas lights. The small tubes
Which supply the lamps are laid so close to the irnn
supporters as to be almost concealed from sight. The
apparent wonder at the brilliancy is, by this circum-
stance, somewhat increased to the passengers.

The belief in Joanna Souslicott's being actually dead,
spread much quicker than was to be expected, from
her obstinately-credulous followers; but the fact was,
that while they seemed deprived of all their other
senses, they retained that of:aid/iv / Our Readers,
perhaps, will scarcely credit it, that, besides the cra-
dle, articles of furniture and plate, purchased by the
dupes of this wretched woman, for the chil.l, a very
large sum of money was subscribed, and is now in the
hands of her Tieasurer, the purpose of which was to
purchase a piece of freehold ground near the Regent's
Park, to build a palace for King Shiloh I An eminent
surveyor was applied to for a plan, which was exhi-
bited and approved by all the dupes; and who will be
greater dupes than we take them, to be, if they do not
make sonic inquiry after their subscription-money?
Tuesday se'nnight as one of the 'servants of Mr.
WCorkle, Greenock and Glasgow carrier, was pas-
sing through Port Glasgow, one of the horses start-
led, when one of the shafts of the cart struck William
l'ettegrew, the carter, on the bras', which caved
his immediate death.
Friday se'nnight a young man, at a wedding in
the parish of Cambuslang, was killed by the falling of
his horse.
Last week two men, attempting to ford the river
Dee, in the neighbourhood of Mar Lodge, the one
carrying the other. were Orown down, by the masses
of floating ice at that tittle in the rivet,' and unfortu-
nately drowned.
Dining the extreme iiolence of the gale on Friday
se'nnight, a countryman at Aberdeen put a bundle
of papers, with eight pounds in bank notes, in his
hat ; which blew off with the contents, scattered and
driven before the fury of the storm. The poor man
only recovered a pound note—thus suffering a consi-
derable loss, and literally si giving his money to the
wind."

In consequence of the heavy rains which fell on
Thursday, the 15th uk. the Drumelly and Rex),
Lochs, on the estate of Marlie, Perthshire, had
swollen to such a height, that a number of large
perches were found, when the w 4 ter receded, both on
the road leading to Blairgowrie, and in a wood ad.
joining one of the Luctib—a circumstance which
never before occurred.

An unfortunate accident took place on the night of
the 27th ult. The boats of the ship Montreal, which
hal been driven in the late gale upon inch Green,
near Pert Glasgow, broke loose from the ship ; their
use being important in assisting to get the ship off,
which was to be tried sntt. that night's tide,
William Black, a fine young man, Second Mate, ad-
venturously stripped himself, jumped into the water,
and endeavoured to reach the boats, but in the at-
tempt was drowned.
The storm of the 26th ult. has done much damage
to the fishing boats on Lochfine. Between the head
of the Loch and Otter Ferry, a distance of nearly 30
miles, no less than twenty .boats were broken to
pieces, besides many more which were hurt so much
as to be rendered useless for this season. At Strachur
Bay alone, above ten boats were wrecked. One vessel
broke from her moorings on the north side of the
Loch, ran before the storm till she grounded below
Strachur House at high tide, and must unload before
she can be got off. Near Cairndow Inn two or three
boats went on shore, and would have been driven to
pieces were it not for the seasonable assistance of the
neighbours, aided by the scholars there, who instantly
hauled them out of danger. We are concerned to
hear that a young mar. was lost at Otter, while in the
act of fastening a vessel to the pier, and that Dun.
Smith, a native of the parish of Lochgoilhead, was
lost on the 14th oh. by falling overboard, while in
the act of setting sail to his fishing boat, near the
mouth of Lochgoil ; he left a widow with a large fa-
mily of young children to lament his loss.
In the dreadful storm of Saturday sennight, a ves-
sel, called the Conception, bound fri:m Dublin to
Wexford, was driven ashore and wrecked, at Bally-
nascar, near Weitfortd harbour. The crew took to their
boat. and, with the exception of one man drowned,
reached the shore ; but they left behind them (fas
tened in the weather shrouds) a mother and a
daughter, over whom the sea beat furiously, and
every moment threatened to tear them from their last
refuge. A poer fisherman, named William Hanson,
law from The shore their dreadful situation • he col-
lected some of the boldest of his fellows, who, with
infinite difficulty, rowed him towards the wreck, now
lying on her side, and, consequently, the mast along
on the surface of the sea. On the Inmost point of
the mast he fastened himself (for his boat dare not
approach the hull of the wreck) and from thence
clambered to the body of the vessel. Here a new
difficulty arose—the contest between the mother and
daughter, which should, by the profered aid, first at-
tempt the shorei nor was it ended till their gallant
deliverer assured them that he should return to her
who should remain. He first brought to the shore
the mother—and, scarcely waiting to take breath, re-
turned for the daughter, whom he afterwards,
through thE tremendohs surr, landed in safety.

ing to. one of the Victualling Hoyi• at Portsmouth,
