EDINBURGH. NOVEMBER 23.

There have been considerable falls of snow here,
since the night of Thursday last : and, excepting the
forenoon of Tuesday, the frost has continued intense.
Fur some days past, the frost has been so severe at
Glasgow, that the navigation on the Clyde to the
Broornielaw has been stopped. The thermometer on
Sunday morning was as low as 19 deg. Fehr. Tues-
day morning it stood at 36 ckg. It i: remarkable,
that, with this severe cold, the wind was westerly till
Tuesday morning.
Time has at Dumfries, also such strange va-
rieties of weather, in extremes, as has not been re-
membered in so short a petiod by the most caieful
observer. Sunday se'nnighr, at noon, cane on a
very heavy rain, which, betore midnight, was accom- '
' pitied by a very high wind irons the S.S.W. Mon-
day the rain still continued, but the wind moderate
the barometer so low as 281 inches, the thermometer
41• deg. Wednesday and Thursday last, there was a
severe frost, almost unprecedented at this season of
the year. The barometer 29 3-10th inches, the ther-
mometer 22 deg. before sun rise each morning. Time
ice on Thursday inch thick.
The Tontine scheme of the city of Glasgow was I
instituted in February, 1781, when 107 shares were
suleicribed on , lives at the time all young : after
lapse of neatly '35 years there are no less than 70 of
these alive, a circumstance which far exceeds any
calculation that could have been made.
The Grand Musical 'Festival at Edinburgh netted
a profit of nearly a 81550, which has been distributed
to the several charities established in that city.

A most singular and unfortunate circumstance oc-
curred at Clatterford, near Newport, Isle of Wight.
As Major General Rower YOUNG was at supper
with his family, a small bone from s pig's foot which
he was eating, lodged in his windpipe, and baffled
medical skill to remove it. He lingered six weeks
in this most distressing situation, and terminated his
existence on Friday sennight,lin the forty-sixth year

of his a!le.
At Melbourne Hall, on Wednesday, a party of
Gentlemen were out shooting, and had just arrived
at a covert, when one of them gave his gun to the
keeper to have two flints changed, at the same time
telling him the gun was loaded. The keeper took
thy gun, and the Gentleman went aside to the party.
Some of the attendants went in front of the muzzle,'
when by some unfortunate accident the gun went off,
and killed a boy instantaneously.
Last week, a Ltd of the name of Pankurst, on'
board the Levon, at Chatham, accidentally fell down
the ship's hold, and instantly expired ; he had wrote
to his friends, acquainting them of his arrival, and
anticipated the pleasure of seeing them on the follow.

1g day.
Last week, Mrs. Constable, who sells fish about
Chatham, went from her home as usual, leaving two
children in her apartment, when by some accident
the clothes of ims of them caught lire, and she was so
much burnt, that she expired a short time afterwards.
Sunday se'imight, the child of George °Grit, of
St, Margaret's Green, Ipswich, a boy of about tour
years of age, being left by his mother in bed, unfor-
tunately got to the lire in her absence, and was so
terribly burnt that he lingered till Tuesday morning,
when lie died.
Thursday se'nnight, about half past six o'clock in
the evening, as a post-lad in the employ of Mr. Bol-
der°, of the Angel Inn, Bury, was returning from
Lavenham with a pair of horses, he was stopped near
Cockfield Loft, by two footpads, who pulled him off
his horse, robbed him of ag2. Si. and then desired
him to proceed to that town, threatening to murder
him if he dared to look back.
Friday se'nnight, as Mr. Isaac Round, of Dart-
ford, was altering some] punts, in the Creek, that in
which he happened to be unfortunately overset, and
he was drowned.
Wednesday night a dreadful accident happened at
Keynsham. Mrs. Isaac, a widow lady, remained up,
atter the family had retired to rest, reading by the
fire. About twelve o'clock her servant was awoke
by a violent screaming, and hastening to see what
was the matter, discovered her mistress at the bot-
tomed of the stairs, enveloped in a sheet of flame. In
a short time, Mr. Wingrove, a proleuional Gentle.'
man in the neighbourhood, was called to her assist-
ance ; but nothing could be done except an endea-
vour to alleviate her sufferings ; and she died, in
great agonies, about ten hours alter the accident.
BaitneroN, Nov. 25.--Tuesday the body of Sarah
Nye, a poor woman upwards of 80 years ut age, was
found dead on the road within two miles of Cucklield.
Yesterday an invest was tak !or at Newhaven on the
body of Elizabeth Walters, whose death was occa-
sioned by a quantity i.f sand falling upon her near that
place. 'Tuesday night, between 10 and 11 o'clock, as
Mr. Scrace, bailiff to W. Stanford, Esq. of Preston,
was on his way home from this place, he met, near the
Prince's Dan y, a man, who, after bidding him good
night, gave a loud whistle k instantly, another man
issued from the hedge, and both Ca= up to Mr.
SCrACC and demanded his money—one of the villains
at she same time holding a blunder buss to his breast.
Mr. S. gave them ail, in notes and 17s. in silver, be-
sides halfpence. Tt.e same night, three houses were
broken tutu, iii different parts of 1.110 town.

CORONER'S INQUEST:

An Inquest was yesterday taken before G MOB
HODGsON, Esq. Coroner for Middlesex. on the re-
mains of the late' Thomas Cartwright Slack, Erq.
and Sarah Burrell, his cook-maid, who perished in
the fire at Kentish Town, on Friday morning.
Mr. R. Tate, jun. deposed, that he was a resident
in the house of his father, next door to Mr. Slack's :
that he was first alarmed by the cry of fire about
half-past two on Friday morning. He immediately
proceeded to Mr. Robinson's dour, where he ob.
served Mrs. Slack, her sister, and some eeher fe-
males. He had first entrusted the care of his own
family to his elder brother, as his father was out of
town. Mrs. Stack said that one of' her children,
Eliza, was missing, and all was safe but that child.
On hearing Mrs. Slack scream, the deceased made
his appearance, but whence he came witness kftv
not. He immediately rushed to his own door, SR
called for a light. Witness returned to his tfiher's
house where he met one of his servants, from whom
he snatched a lantern, and followed Mr. S. into the.
house. Mr. S. exclaimed, " bring a light, for God's
sake!" Witness followed him within a couple of
steps of the first landing ; the smoke was so dense
that the lantern would not afford the least light.
Witness was nearly suffocated by the smoke, and
retreated down stairs, but knew not how. lie saw
no mere of the deceased afterwards. The child was
subsequently rescued, but it might be after the lapse
of twenty minutes. lie did not know the etele, ncr
any of the circumstances relative to her unhappy
fate. According to his opinion, Mr. Slack must
have perished live minutes afterward from shirocaticti.
No exertion was wanting on the part of de: neigh-
hours,
or any person, to render every assistance pos-
sible.
Miss Rebecca Grainge deposed, that she was a
ward of the deceased, and a resident in his hcuse ;
she was called out of her room at (as she was in-
formed) about two o'clock on Friday morning, she
immediately went to the nursery to the children, aiu
she was there informed that the chimney was on tire;
she took one of the children in her arms, and pro-
, ceeded out of the house ; she went to Mr. Robinson's
and went into the bedroom, where she saw Mr. R. ;
she did not, of her own knowledge, know where the
child was that was missing ; she did not know who
saw the cook last : Cie child's legs and arms were
scorched, but her shift was not so much as singed ;
there was nothing before the laundry fire, no clothes
nor any thing else hanging to air ; in the course of
the preceding evening the family had been burning
some green wood in the fire, which occasioned a slight
smoke in the room. but they thought nothing of Oat,
nor was that, in witness's opinion, the occasion of
the lire ; the family retired to rest at about eleven
o'clock ; it was the constant custom of Mr. Slack to
go down and see that all the fires were site before he
retired to rest ; there was not an unusually large fire
on the preceding evening in any of the fire-places
that witness was aware of.
Thomas --, was coachman to the deceased, and
slept in the attic at the top of the house. He and
the gardener were called by their master at about
two o'clock on Friday morning, and informed there
was a fire in the house. Witness immediately came
down, and went into the dining-parlour ; there was a
fire at the left hand side of the fire-piece, and it was
working towards the partition which divided the
dining-room from the drawing-room. It was not
then in flames. They ran down to the kitchen to,
get water, and on their return they could not get
into the room for the tire. There was a hole by the
chimney in the ceiling of the kitchen.—Witness con.
ceived that the fire originated from a beam of the
parlour floor going into the chimney, arid catching
fire. Mr. Slack then went to the dont, I,,id called
out 14 Watch !" and.. Fire !" and told them for God's
sake to run up stairs and save the family. Both wit-
ness and the gardener then went up stairs for the t.t.
mily. The females were altogether on the top land-
ing-place. Witness assisted Mts. Slack and the chil-
dren down stairs. They leaned against the wall in
the lane for a time, and then went to Mr: Kohinsr,n/s.l
They looked round fur the family, and turs,ctl the
ielant Eliza and the cock. Mr. Slick called wet to
I know if the child was taund ? and Mr i. Slack replied
44 No." Mr. Slack called for a light, and went into
the house. Witness did not see his mater after that.
Ladders were applied to the windows, anti witness
ascended and burst open the shutters, and heard his
master calling out for help, and the child. The voice
seemed to be in the upper part if the house. Ile called
out " Fur God's sake help me !" There were doors at
the top of the house. Mr. Gardener came round to
witness, and told him that the child was on the
stairs in the front part of the house. The child was
sitting on the stairs, about seven steps up. Lewis
Wiber rushed in, and witness followed him. In
coming out the floor gave way, and Wiber fell in up
to his knees; witness pulled him, with the child, out
by the shoulders, and supposes that he himself must
have been standing on one of the joists. 'rho e was
no fire in any other place but that by the kitchen
chimney, which went through the parlour floer.—
Witness heard the cook say, " What is the matter ?"
but knows nothing of her loss. Every possible and
useful service was rendered by the neighbours. Wit-
ness saw the remains, which the Jury had viewed,
dug from the ruins; they were about three feet asun-
der. The body which was supposed to be Mr. Slack's,
was found not three inches from whence seitness con-
ceives he fell, after hanging on the bannisters; lie
must have been a corpse then.
Mathias Archibald Robinson, Esq. deposed, that
he lived next door but one to the deceased, and was
alarmed by a knocking at his door and ringing at
the bell, at about '4 o'clock on Ft iday morning. On
his getting, up he found Mr. Slack, with the female
part of ti.e family and some of the chiitiren, at his
door. Ile took them in, and alter lie hal teodcred
every assistance to them, went to the I: u.e. iz v, as
then three quarters of an hour after the fire cont.
['termed. 'There was not even a heat in the kitchen.
' The parlour was in names—he had an oppor trinity
of examining, and is convinced that the fire was
caused by one of the rafters of the dininge outri floor,
going into the kitchen chimney. At first, halt a
dozen pails of water rnizlit have extinguished the
lire ; but certainly not tl‘en. He helped to take out
part oldie clock, and several other things. It was
afterwards that he saw the child on the stairs. He
could pieiuly distinguish the screams of the cook,
and heard NJ. Slack cry out, is Where is my child!"

He saw the ladders raised to the windows. The
flames burst out of the back windows, after the slim.
ters were Woken open. Ile tried to get in •.le
back part ut the linise, and in the mean time the
child was rescued by \\Tiber. Witness brought fis
garden engine, but without effect. Every
that could rssibly be afforded by the reigiih•::::s
was given with great alacrity and prt.tnptituite.
Joseph Scrutton, Esq. found the parluur. (Ai
and Mr. Robinson told him that Mr. Slack :Ad •
up alter his child. He saw the child muted,
heard two distinct SCTC•ITIIti, and traced the cry li•
the second to the fist Hour. He himself, aid „„,.L
gentleman named Goodeve, attempted to
