very unpleasant affair has I.qely, taken place. at
MArgate ; and if t!;e circumstances, such as t.er
have been stated in letters ttom that place, be true,
the character of the Established Church is in a cer.
tain degree implicated in the odium which it mint
excite. It is well known, that at a siiort distance
from the town of Margate, theta stands a Wilding
for the reception and temperar y support of poor per:.
sons whose state of heald. requires that they should.
bathe in the sea; but who are unable to bear the
expense of travelling to, or living at a watering place.
This building is edict! the Sea-b.ithing ; it
is chiefly supported by annual donations, and ort:t.
sidnal conttikutions made by opulent, vi:atins.—
Among other sources it has been lisoal to have a
Charity Sermon preached once a year, in support of
the Institution, when a considerable sank was gene.
'rally collected from the congregation. Ili, season,
, however, we are told that the Rev. Mr. liamse.
Clergyman of the parish, would not allow his pulpit
to be used for the purpose. The cause of this extra..
ordinary conduct is not explained ; but it has excited
great indignation throughout the whole ta n.--
The Gentlemen who preside over the Institution,
finding this resource shut against them% deteranined.
on having a ;siblie ball, the profits of wit:cli should
go in aid of the funds : the ball was held on Friday
night. wat attended by 600 persons of fashion. and
produced the sum of 200 guineas, to which the
Stesiards contributed 100 more. The Stewards were
stiU determined 'that money should sull be raised
from those who attended at the Church; ands.as they
knew the power of the Clergymen did not extend be-
yond the church-yard, six Gentlemen undertook, .gin
Sunday morning last, to stand outside the gates %vials
plates in their hands, to collect mohey from the can..
gregation after the service, having previously ;sub-
lished a notice of their intention. It is farther stated, •
that these Gentlemen who thus so humanely stepped •
forward in aid of this excellent charity, were, at the
instance of the Rev. Mr. BATLEY, taken into custody
by order of the Magistrates, as vagrant:, and held to

FLOODS IN THE souniriF SCOTL 44V D.

Pt!RT(iER PARTICULARS.
Dustrats, Serr. 2S.—On the night of Monday
last a heavy rain commenced, which continued until
Tuesday evening, whereby all the rivers between
Portpatrick and Annan were much swollen. On the!
Fleet water a great quantity of. oats and hay were
carried down. On the Ken water, the old bridge of
Ken is washed down ; at Dairy, one arch of the bridge
there is gone; the new bridge near New Galloway is
ruined, and great loss sustained of grain and .h ty.
Part of the embankment on Urr water is damaged,
and quantities of hay and corn swept away by the re-
sistless timid. The Cairn and Nith were larger than
ever remembered since 1776—many of the embank-
ments were very much damaged, and the loss sus-
tained in grain is immense ; one firmer lost ten acres
of oats by the bursting ot 60 yards. ot the bank which
defended the holm ; and it is supposed that on this
piece of ground not its- than 35 acres of produce were
carried down the current. Sev,ral cart loads of
stooks were got out by means of grapples aid long
n the Maxweitio.en side of the Nith an I in
ocher places. but a ilat WA'. saved is comparatively no-
thing to what will never be recovered.
••More,kr, Seer. XlB.—This place and its vicinity
have experiented the ravages of the flood. The bridge
ov.-r the river A anan, about two miles from this
place, was carrie:t away on Tuesday last. The mail
c0.,..11 was stopped a cousidetable time. Another
bridge near Moffat, ou :he Glasgow and Dumfries
To. I•ice wise have become a heap of ruins,
had it not been timeously propped up by posts. At
about 1.500 stooks, the property of Mrs.
Holii,t my, of that place, were carried off; is also 60X/
stooks bel,.ngiiig to Mr. Dawn, of Annan Bank.
Salichrisait. him W.—Owing to very heavy rains
the Nith ~rd the other rivers were remarkably swelled
on 7'• inniLy and Tuesday last, and great damage sus-
Alined. It is irupo..sible to give all the of the
mischief, but the flowing form a p : the damhead
that conveys the water to irn the machine ti r keeping
dry Mr. Barker's coal-works, has been totally carried
away—not a usage --,mains. The darn-head, for
driving I or ale forge at Crawick-bridge, is
altogether carried off: part of the dam-head for the
corn wills has als .ieeta swept away ;as also, the
whole of the dam-head Above the Holm House,
greeted for th.! purpose of the carding, dye.
lug, and other machinery ; likewise a 'great quantity
Qt hay, belonging to Mr. Hutchinson, at Kiliteside.
.—Many gentlemen t • its vicinity have suffered se-
verely, by having. their hay, coin, and crops of all
sorts, carried aw-y ; and Mr. Dick lost above 4100
worth of lime, which was lying- in heaps upon hi,
land—n.:t a hanottil of it remains. Part or the wooden
bridge over the Nith, at Sanquhdr, was destroyed.

MELANCHOLY ACCHANTS.— Monday evening an In-
quisition was taker: at the Carpenter's Arms, in
Ad em-street, West Mary-la-bonne, by G. Hocaisox,
Esq. one of the Coroners for •he county or kiddie-
sex, on view of the b idy of lone, Holloway, forty
years of age, and a master painter and glazier,oesi- :
ding in Adam-street, who was unfortunately killed on
Friday last, in the following manner :--The de-
ceased had undertaken to p.iint the Earl of Beverley's I
house, in Portman-square, which was nearly finished .
when the accident flapper:el After the workmen
same from dinner on Fnday, he ordered one of them
to wash the skylight over the staircase before it
should be p limed ; this the man refused to do, saying:
there was only a single plank to stand upon, and that
the place was very high, and, consequently, very
dangerous, as there was not any thing to hold by.—,
The deceased said, the plank was well secured, and
as he could not get a man to do the busine so he must
do it himself ; and taking a pail of water and a brush,
he went upon the plank, when, in his efforts to wash
the dome of the skylight, he over-reached himself,
the plank gave way, and he was precipitated to the:
bottom, a very great depth. His skull was literally,
broken to pieces on the marble flags in the passage,
and his brains were scattered about the place in a
most shocking manner. He was put on a shutter,
and carried home. Verdict—Accidental Death.

An inquisition was also taken at the Mansfield
Arms,aMansfield-place, Kentish-town, upon viewing
Me body of Henry Robertson, who was found upon '
his knees by the side of his bed, in the attitude of
praying, lint quite dead, onliis landlady going into
the bed-room in the morning to call him. Verdict—!
Died by the visitation of GOD.
Monday afternoon, between five and six o'clock, as
two young Ladies, sisters, were walking by the side
of Limehouse Cut, the younger one slipt down the
bank into the water ; her ster, uttering an hysteri- •
cal scream', plunged into the water after her. They
WRFC both taken out in a few minutes ; the younger
one recovered ; but although every exertion was
used, the vital spark was extinct iwthe elder. She
was a beautiful young woman, about eighteen years
of age, and had just arrived on a visit to Mr. Brown,
of the Black Ash Works, near the fatal spot.
In Edinburgh, a man belonging to the veteran bat-
talion was, on the '27th Llt. attacked by a furious ox.
In endeavouring to avoid the animal, he leaped aver
a small dyke between the Castle-hitl and the Gaelic
Chapel; but in so dOing he hit his bead /kb such
violence against the wall of the Chapel, as to fracture
his skull, whereby he died in A few minutes,
Mas. CLARKE.—The following are the circum-
stances of the case of Mrs. CLARKE, which hive been
so greatly misrepresented in the Newspapers :—:rhis
Lady leas resided for some time near Margate, with
her two daughters. Her residence, however, having
been lately learned by one of her creditors, he sued
out a writ, with ititent to arrest her. The Lord
Warden of the Cinque Ports exercises the duties of
High Sheriff, and the Boder of Dover Castle those of
Under Sheriff. To the latter the writ was accor-
dingly sent, and he immediately proceeded to the re-
sidence of Mrs. CLARKE, to put it into execution.—
Instead, however, of the mother, the Boder fell foul
of the elder daughter, a fine girl of 23, whose Chris-
tian name also is felAnx ANNE, and took her into
custody. It was in vain the ',Cling Lady declared
that she was not indebted to the person who sued out
the writ : the Boder declared that 'she was MARY
ANNE CLARICE, and the body of MARY ANNE CLARKE
he was determined to have and keep in hie custody.
In the mean time the mother escaped, and is now in
France—and a solicitor has been employed to bring
an action, On behalf of the daughter, against the &-
dor, for false imprisonment.
