A fatal occurrence took place in Gourock Bay on
Sunday forenoon, (Bth inst.) A pilot boat, with three
men and a boy on board, in attempting to get along-
side of the Brilliant Liverpool trader was run down
by her, and although every exertion was made to get
the people out of the water, the boy, whose name is
Ross, unfortunately perished. The body has not yet
been found.

Letters have arrived in Portsmouth, from persons
who emigrated thence to the United States, dated
frcrn Cincinatti, Hamilton County, State of Ohio, so
recently as the 25th of July last, having been only
43 days in the transit, though the above place is
nearly 700 miles from the sea-port of Baltimore.—
One writer says—'"This State is very thickly settled;
you can travel in no direction ten miles from Cinci-
natti without going through some country towns.—
Vast quantities of produce are raised in the State, and a
considerable part of brought here to market, and sold
at very reduced prices. Flour is selling from one
dollar to a dollar and a quarter per hundred; Beef
from two to four cents, and Mutton about three cents
per lb.—Fowls 12i, and Turkeys from 25 to 50 cents
each. Though provisions are cheap, and there is
more liberty enjoyed here than under a Monarchical
Government, the climate is, as compared with Eng-
land, unhealthy; and, upon the whole, I am not pre-
pat ed to recommend any person who can get a good
living at home to come here; hut, should he be out
of employ, he cannot do amiss by coming, though he
must not expect to make a rapid fortune, as many do,
or lie will be disappointed?'

The expense of the Establishment for carrying on
the Redemption of the Land Tax, during the last fif-
teen years, exceeds by about a thousand pounds a
year the proceeds of the Land Tax sold by them.
Several curiosities have been discovered in taking
up the flooring over the Cloisters at Magdalen Col-
lege, Oxford, among which were some small leaden
pieces, probably commemorative of Queen ELIZA-
BETH'S visit to the University. On the obverse are
a Rose and Crown, with the letters E. R. Round it
is the legend " GOD save the Quene." The reverse
is a spread eagle. Several Abbey Tokens have been
found in excellent preservation, also some curious
coins, and a few old letters addressed to the ancient
inhabitants of the rooms. One is directed to the ce-
lebrated Mr. Peter Heylin, Fellow of Magdalen, and
is dated 1627.

Sunday, at noon, Holroyi, a boatman, went to a
bake-house, in Port-street, Manchester, and selected
from the dinners, just drawn from the oven, a large
dish, containing a leg of mutton and potatoes, which
he said was his; he carried it to his boat, and with
two friends began the work of demolition : it was not
long before the theft was discovered, and a police
officer went to the boat and secured them. One of
them would- not, however, suffer himself to be hand-
cuffed before he had finished his dinner. The two
friends were discharged on Monday, and Holroyd
was committed.

AMA!' AT CHIPPENHAbf.—..SeltUrdar, Mr. Henry
Knight and Mr. John Matthews, two respectable far-
mers, were committed to Fisherton Jail, Salisbury,
under the Coroner's warrant, for the murder of Mr.
Reynolds and Mr. Hull, in the affray which occurred
at Chippenham. The investigation is still going on.
In Castletown, Isle of Man, a few days ago, Wil-
liam Preston, in the employ f Mr. Quayle, brewer,
while standing on the edge of the mashing vat, over-
balanced himself, and was precipitated into the boil-
ing fluid, upwards of four feet and a half deep. He
rose immediately with his head and neck above the
water, and though instantaneous assistance was
afforded, the whole of his body was so dreadfully
scalded, that he d:ed in agony about six o'clock the
same evening. After having been extricated from the
vat, he walked home, leaning on the arm of the brewer.
Wednesday se'nnight, a fine little girl, about five
years of age, daughter of Mr. BALY, grocer, in Nor-
folk-street, Lynn, accidentally fell into a tub of boil-
ing hot wort, and was so dreadfully scalded as to oc-
casion her death on the following Sunday, after lan-
guishing in the most severe agony, to the great grief
of her parents.
At the request of the respectable inhabitants of
Buckden, in which is the Palace of the Bishop of LIN-
COLN, the Magistrates have licensed a free public.,
house, all the rest being the property of brewers ; in
consequence of which both ale and beer have been
materially reduced in price and improved in quality.

Thursday morning last a fatal accident befel Miss
LEYLAND, an elderly maiden Lady, residing in Isling-
ton, near Manchester. She was upon a visit at the
house of Mr. HAMPSON, of Ratcliffe, and was pro.
ceeding thence in a cart to pay a visit to the Rev.
THOMAS PARKINSON, of Ratcliffe-Hall, when the
wheel unfortunately came in contact with that of
another cart belonging to Mr. BEALEY, the bleacher;
in consequence of which the vehicle in which Miss
LEYLAND rode was overturned, and she' was killed
upon the spot.
About three o'clock in the morning of the Sth inst.
the seed wind-mill belonging to 'Mr. Neame, in the
parish of. Eastry, in Kent, was discovered to be on
fire, and so rapid were the flames, that in about two
hours the mill and a store-house adjoining, were to-
tally consumed, together with a large quantity of
seed : a small part only of what the mill contained
could he saved. By great exertions the dwelling-
house and the miller's house were saved. Strong
suspicions are entertained that the mill was set on fire.
About five o'clock on Monday morning a fire
broke out in the hop oast belonging to J. Ellis, Esq.
situate at Wateringbury, which in a short time de-
stroyed the whole of the building, together with a
quantity of hops drying on the kilns.
About eleven o'clock on Sunday forenoon, a fire
broke out in a stable situated near the top of Cage.
lane, Frindsbury, which in half an hour consumed
the same, together with various attached outbuild-
ings, and the dwelling-house of Cooper, an old
man who officiated as village schoolmaster. There
was a considerable quantity of hay and straw on the
premises, which were occupied by Mr. Pritchard,
Contractor for excavating the Thames and Medway
Canal Tunnel, as a depot for hones. The stable in
which a mare and foal were kept was on fire before
they could be liberated, and both perished in the
flames, as did also a goat and two pigs, 'which were
in a yard surrounded by the building. The officers
and men of the Royal Marines, who were attending
Divine Service at the Dock Chapel, the instant an
alarm was given, proceeded to the fire with the ut-
most alacrity, occasioning thereby some little confu-
sion amongst the congregation, the cause not being
generally known. The men formed a line to hand
water, which was very scarce, to the engines, and
performed every useful service required of them with
the greatest order and regularity.
MRS. DONATTY'S GHOST.—On Saturday a sale of
the late Mrs. Donatty's property took place. Numbers
of persons, particularly of the Jewish persuasion,were
attracted by curiosity to the house,.which, though
well furnished, appeared as if it had eocbeen entered
for years. The bloody state of the ball excited feel-
ings of horror in the minds of the spectatori. About
half-past eight in the evening the whole neighbour-
hood were alarmed at the report of Mrs. Donatty's
ghost having appeared to Mrs. Earl, a woman 10404
in the first floor at the next house to that of the de.
ceased, and who WAS the person who heard the screams
of Mrs. Donatty on the night of the murder. The
street was crowded with persons, and Mrs. Earl's cries
were heard front one end of the street to the other.

It was reported
.that Mrs. Donatty's ghost appeared
to her, wrapped up in a winding-sheet, the blood
flowing from the wound in her neck, and holding a
dagger in her right hand ; on the appearance of the
ghost Mrs. Earl alarmed all the inmates of the house,
to whom she related the *circumstance. She after-
wards went into hysterics, in which she remained a
considerable part of the night, during which time the
crowd began to inctease in the street, and it was found
necessary to call the watchmen to disperse them. '
