Mr. Eorroa.The recent case iiaid to have occur-,
'red eta woman at flhoreditth being rescued from a
premature Warmest, brings to my mind an instance
attended with early aggravated circumstances,'
r which hap to the young orphan niece of a mis-
tress of a ag school, in a village near Derby,
last summer. 81se was reported to have died at eight
o'clock in the =min,; and a young married lady in
the neighbourhood wishing to see her corpse, was,
,after Much difficulty, permitted to do so about four
cfclock in the afternoon ; and although so early after
her reported decease, yet she was already laid out in
ter' men, locked up in an inner apartment, and
ndeened with Sewers, some of which were clasped in
beshands, laid across her breast, and on the young
lady's taking some of them, she found the fingers'per-
fectly pliant, and a pin • that had been carelessly em-
ployed to secure the head-clothes, had punctured the
skin, and blood bad Bowed from the woona 1 in short

1 On Monday evening, Thomas Devall, a workman
lat Mr. Barker's acid snanufactory, in Rugeley, was
left at the factory, to attend to the fire under the fur-
nace, which was to be kept in, all night. On the
foreman's going to the factory about six o'clock the
next morning, he found the fire out, and Devall ly-
ing dead on some embers, about two yards from the
fire, with his clothes nearly all consumed. .
A melancholy. accident occurred near Henderland,
in the parish of Meggat, and county of Peeblei, on
the SOth ult. Three children of a shepherd on that
farm, going from their father's house, to witness a
Matrimonial ceremony, in crossing an adjoining burn,
were all blown in by a violent guit of wind, and car-
ried down the current. The father, who was near
die spot at the time, ran to their assistance, and
brought out one, and laid it upon the bank, and then
another, and followed the third a considerable way,
which he also succeeded in bringing out ; but on his
return back with this last, to the place where the others
were left, he found them both without appearance of
animation, and every attempt to restore them was in
vain. The third is still alive, and it is hoped will
soon recover.
An unfortunate event happened last month at Cm-
telsarrasin, in the Department of the Garonne, in
France, on the 17th of December. A family of

idle foot of the poplar-tree and which, in the idiom

that day, was the only ode who escaped the disaster.
