Tuesday last a very remarkable circumstance took
place on the High-street of Brechia. As Captain
ALIXANDRR THOMPAM, of his Majesty's 46th regiment,
was in conversation with a Gentleman on some business,
an infuriated cow came running behind him, and placing
one of her horns between his legs, threw him ten or
twelve feet from the ground. In consequence of the
fall he was slightly wounded, and had one of his
arms bruised.
Friday se'nnight, a beat, containing the dead body of
a man, was drifted on shore at Broughty Ferry. It was
soon discovered that the unfortunate sufferer was a sea-
man, a young man of the name of ROY, belonging to
Dundee. This melancholy event seems to have ori-
ginated in drink. He, with a companion, had gone
down the river in a boat, along with a vessel which
sailed on Thursday ; they were both intoxicated, and
on their return the latter, on coming on shore, had left
his unfortunate companion in the boat, which had
drifted away, at the mercy of wind and tide ; the poor
tuan being unable to contend with his fate, had led to
the above catastrophe;
Coitonsft's Ivouler..Thursday evening, at nine'
o'clock, an Inquest was held at the Half Moon, Clip-
stone-street, Mary-la-bonne, before T. STIRLING, Esq.
Coroner, on the body of Madame Bighicheff, a Si-
berian Lady, known to many foreigners of distinction
in this country. The deceased has been some years in
this country, and had first come here attached to one
of the Russian Embassies, and was allowed by a No.
bleman of distinction of that country, for some years,
121. per month ; but owing to some bad conduct of her
own, that was reduced to IL per month, which she had
up to the time of her death. The following was the
evidence given t—Mrs. Mary Anne Wells, landlady of
the Half Moon,• stated, that she knew the deceased
many years, and saw her for the last time alive, about
half-past eight o'clock on Tuesday evening. The de-
ceased held apartments in witness's house, and enjoyed
good health, and appeared between fifty and sixty
years of age; the witness served her with a pint of por.
ter, and one glass of peppermint. At about half-past
eleven o'clock, the witness was going up stairs to bed,
'and as she passed the bed-room of the deceased, she
was assailed by a strong foetid smell, and immediately
`bunt open the door, when a volume of smoke and
flame burst forth so rapidly, that the was obliged to
run down stairs to save 'herself ; she gave the alarm, and
her husband ran up, and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, but the deceased was bprnt to a cinder. The
deceased had a monthly income, and always paid her
bills _regularly. The witness believed the deceased got
inebriated in her room; she asked for a bottle of wine,
but was refined; however, a bottle with some Wine
was found in her room, which she had bought, but had
not paid for, in the neighbourhood. The deceased was
habitually inclined to intoxication. The bed and bed-
ding were partly consumed. Mr. Wells, husband of
this witness confirmed her testimony In its material
s
parts, and the Jury found the following verdict:--
ra The deceased was accidentallyr,lthutaitte.d to
death
while
in atuwa as id of Dr. p
state of intoxication."
