Thursday last, WILLIAM FLOM, Esq. 19- years of age, Mid-
shipman of his Majesty's *hip REVOLUTIONNAIIIK and son of the
Rev. Mr. FLOUR, Rector of Stinsford, near borchester, was
unfortunately drowned to the westward of Portland. The Rs-
VOLUTIONNAIRZ lately returned to Plymouth, from the Mediter-
ranean station, to be paid off: this young Gentleman was coming
to Weymouth in an open pleasure boat with one seaman, in
order to proceed to his mother and family, and being shortly to
come into the possession of an estate of considerable value, to
have resided on it. His great partiality for the watery element
induced him to prefer the voyage by sea to a journey by land.
The wind blowing fresh, and a strong tide, the boat drifted into
the dangerous Race of Portland, shipped a sea, and in conse-'
quence sunk. The seaman and himself took to the ears and
spars, and were observed by the Portlanders. A considerable
time elapsed before a boat could be lauuched to go to their as.
sistance. They used every possible exertion to rescue them from
their dreadful peril, and succeeded in preserving the seaman's
life, bet this brave and promising youth sunk to rise no more,
after floating on the water more than two hours, leaving an aged
and affectionate mother in the most severe and inconsolable grief
for his premature and unfortunate death.
Friday as J. Pounder and his son, belonging to Hartlepool,
were trawling for soles, they were unfortunately run down in the
night time by a Yarmouth brig, and drowned. They have left
large families to deplore their melancholy loss.
Tuesday se'nnight, Mr. G. GRUEN, a respectable farmer of
Butleigh, Somersetshire, was thrown from his horse, and killed
on the spot.
Sunday morning, Thula, GANLIZT, 19 years of age, clerk to a
solicitor in the Temple, while bathing in the Thames, was seized
with the cramp, and drowned.
Thursday morning last, as Mr. GlLurwa Haves, with his son,
Park-keepers to E. P. MEADOWS, Req. of Conholt Park, }lamp-
shire. were shooting deer, the former had just killed Mee, when
his sun went to him for the purpose of stabbing the animal. In
giving his gun to his father to hold, the butt end pitched on the
ground, the piece immediately went off, and lodged its contents
in the body of the father, who fell down and expired instantly.
The deceased was between 30 and 00 years of age, and hash*
a wife and young family to deplore his loss.
Sunday se:might a fine bey, about seven years niti, the sea et,
Joseph Grainger, of Stamford Bridge, whilst gathering butter-
cups on the bank of the river Derwent, unfortunately fell into
the water and was drowned, where, after a diligent search round
the country, he was found the next day.
Same day, as William Halliday, a child about four years old,'
whose parents reside in Caroline-place, Walnigate, York, was
playing by the river Puss, near their house, by some accident he
got into the water, and was drowned.
METHOD OF DESTROUNG A SHARK.—The shark
is such an enemy to our seafaring brethren, that
sailors have as little compassion for this animal as he
has for them. This sea-tiger follows a vessel for se-
veral days, and snaps at and swallows, indiscrimi-
nately, everything thrown in the sea. The sailors,
taking advantage of this propensity, heat a brick
naming hot, which they cover with sail-cicith dipped
in oil very thick, and binding it tight with twine,
throw it overboard,. The greedy glutton swallows it
at a venture, and perhaps conceives it at first to be
nothing more than a gentle stomachic. In a few mo-
ments, however, the sea is -all in a foam with his
dying and spasmodic convulsions, and the upturned
white belly of the monster proclaims to the delighted
manners that the•hour of his tyranny is over.
A Porter of the Reduced Office in the Bank of
England, found on Thursday last, in Cornhill, a
pocket-book, containing upwards of seventy pounds
in Bank notes, and a banker's check for eighty pounds,
after some difficulty he discovered the owners a per-
son of consiJerable property in the City Road, re-
stored the book to him, and received for his reward
