Yesterday, as a little girl, 11 years of age, named Mary Kates,
residing in Hartshorn-place, Barbican, was draining the water off
some potatoes, her pinafore caught fire, and before the flames could
be extinguished, her frock and under garments were totally con-
sumed, and the poor child dreadfully burnt under the arms and
breast. She was taken to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where she
now lies, without the least hope of recovery.
Monday night a Gentleman of the name of Frimley, with his
wife and a little boy, returning home from Wingfield, Berks, in
a single horse chaise, got out of the track of the heath, near the
Serpent public-house, and the chaise and horse went down a
precipice of fifteeen feet and upwards. Mrs. Frimley was killed
on the spot ; the boy had his arm broken, and the chaise was
dashed to pieces, but 111 r. Frimley escaped unhurt...

M. CHARLES DUPATY, Member of the French Insti-
tute, died a few days ago. ' •
A French paper asserts, that the Greeks have ceded
to the Americans the small island of Aussa, near Faros,
for a naval station. This we much doubt.

In consequence of a requisition from the Jury who
sat on the body of Ann Ashley, when the horrible state
of the watch-house of Bethnal-green was exposed, a
meeting of the Watch Committee took place yesterday,
at St. Matthew's Church, to take into consideration the
expediency of levelling the present building, and erect-
ing a new one in a different situation. After some
delibetation a resolution was passed for carrying the
measure into effect. The night constable and officers,
who were in the watch-house when the poor woman was
brought in there, were suspended until the next meeting
of the Board.

At the dinner of the Livery of the Founders' Com-
pany, at the Albion Tavern, on Tuesday, Mr. BORRO
D A ILI (the father of the Company), proposed the health.
of Mr. Alderman Thompson, and hinted the probability
of his soliciting the honour of representing his fellow.
citizens in Parliament. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON, in
returning thanks said, his friend had hinted at his
desire to become one of their Representatives in Parlia-
ment ; he certainly did aspire to that high honour, and,
as it was well-known there would be one vacancy at
least, he hoped he should be successful. He begged to
assure them of his adherence to those political opinions
which had placed hint in the high office he already held ;
and assured them, that front his inttmate connection
with the trading and commercial interests, they would
always find him ready to bring forward any measure for
their benefit.
