the following manner:—lsis name is Adam Hawes, and he i, a na-
tive of Sazmundham, Suffolk. He arrived in town on Thursday,
and was walking along the Westminster-road, when a gentlemanly-
looking man met him, spoke to him very famtilialerlgy,,igainntdithhirt

parted, but pretending to pick up a parcel, Adam cried "
and they adjourned to a public-house to divide the prize ; t!.e.e they

house near Golden-square; thither Adam ri p. in .1, but

A melancholy catastrophe occurred on the
of Monday, the 15th inst. on Carnarvon bar. Th.:,
boat, manned by William Hughes, Ellis fh:n.
thers), Hugh Hughes, and Robert Hitghes. sons
Hughes, left Carnarvon at daybreak, with the •trArth-n
of boarding a' large ship, which had anchoreJ off
dwye the preceding evening ; tl.ey were observed fr. in
the shore to pass the perch, a,id sh4tly atter t::e b
was seen tossed amongst rh:: break-, s, aprate!li!:
out any one on board. About t s rive o'clock, ..f,e
driven on shore near 13elan, together with a 7;at, an t
other articles, which but too clearly inticate.l the an.
timely fate of her unfort:lntte crew.
It was on the Oar k and Rory y CVCP.int; ursd.is-
se'rmight, that a very melancholy nrcident happena d
the parish of Kells, near Dumfries. A tine boy rah
six years of age, son of Alexa•,Jer Itobsoo, in old (ile:1-
bad gone across the " hart Ualioch," a ,ta.::11
which flows near his own canal,:. that of dnouse,
a short aay distant. to bring home to his mother her
evening supply of milk, which sfe obtline,f from th ,t
place. There was only an old Man in Fordir. ~se (woad
forester to Mr. Grier: on, of Garro,h), v.ls a the little
boy arrived, who set down his can and went out, as ;Le
old man supposed, to go to the byre to his daughter-In-
law, where she then was milking the cows. The Irv,
however, never returned. and it is be!ievea he Ihr,f
fallen into the stream, then thunder ing pat with gedt
violence, either from the bank in:mediatel beside t!.
house, or from the rude bridge he had crossed, w hicli
merely two old trees laid lions bank to bank, and whier
had become very slippery by the rain. Instantly Oil
boy being missed, the alarm was given, and tl;e bun
was dragged for his body during the wh,:le of tl a tio-
mal night of the 18th, but to no purFo,e—vaiie tic
agonised feelings of the poor mother may be mor e .:t-:;Y
conceived than described. The body was, lrowrse:,
found next morning, upheld by sortie stunted
near the bridge of Corn, opposite Glenitte7l:ark,%.l%iiv;
been swept nearly a mile down the ,:tr earn.
