The report of the death of Lady ELLIOT, lately, at
Wm-thing, in consequence of a dreadful accident, we
find was not correct. It was Miss ISASELL A ELLIOT,
younzest daughter of the late NICOLAS ELLIOT, Esq.
of Wiaterhorne Gunner, near Salisbury. Miss ELLIOT
I was walking near Worthing, when she was met by a
boy on horseback, and the boy being unable to tna.
Rage horse, she was beaten down against a wall,
her skull was fractured, and this melancholy accid. nt
occasioned her death. Her remains were brought to
Winterborne, on Saturday, and deposited in the fa.
mily vault.
Fire are sorry to state a melancholy circumstance,
which took place oc Friday:— John James Todd, Esq.
(brother to Colonel Francis Todd, cf the Ist regi•
ment of Guards), went out shooting in the neigh.
bourhood of Horndean, Hampshire, when his gun
accidentally went off, whilst he was taking the ram.
'rod out, and the contents of it being. forced through
his body, he lingered for twenty minutes and then
expired. The deceased Gentleman was on a whit to
his sister, Mrs. Halkett, the Lady of Captain Hal.
kett, of his Majesty's ship Gauges, who resides at
Cdtherington-house.
On Friday the 25th ult. a very melancholy accident
happened at Loudoun Castle. As the workmen were
employed in throwing the arch of the new bridge
building there, the supports gave way, when five men
were precipitated to the glen below, among the ruins.
MArt new MiCum.octi, Anton, a fine young man,
survived but a few hours; other tsfrr were severe:,
hurt, and still continue very ill. having their joints
dislocated in several parts, whilst the other two were
but slightly hurt. 'What makes MeCtn.t.c,c,i's fate
the more lamentable is, that he was a principal sup-
port to Ins parents, and this is the third accidental
death they have met with in their family. Mr. Was.
E u.toT, the superintending architect, had at the same
time, a narrow escape. One of the wsrkmen hav,,,g
