DRIADFUL Accumut.—Saturday evening, a person
named James Holt, who resided in Silver-street,
Hulme, Manchester, was burnt to death in the follow.
ing dreadful manner :—He was extremely decrepit,
and, on this occasion, we believe, not quite sober.
About seven o'clock in the evening, he was left alone in
the house by his wife, who went to market ; and in a
short time afterwards, a neighbour, who went into the
house to get a little water, s,w him putting tobacco
into a pipe, as it he was about to light it. In a few
minutes afterwards, a man, who bad occasion to go to
the house, opened the door, and saw, as he supposed,
a log of wood lying on the fire ; but on a close inspec-
tion, he was dreadfully shocked to find that it vans the
unfogglaate master of the house, who, it appears, in
attempting to light his pipe, had fallen with his left side
upon the grate, aped was unable to extricate hisn.elf
from this dreadful situation. 'the man removell him
Irons the fire, but he was so much burned as to be guile
insensible, and died in about an hour afterwards. •
Inquest was held on the body on Monday evening,* the
Blue Ball, Hulme; when the Jury returned a verdict
of Accidui Death.
The old distillery regulations cease on the 10th of
October ; the reduced duty of 95i
lons, of British'spitits, will take effect
1h ittary.

SONG OF THE MARINER.
-......-

Hurts ! along the foaming tide,
With wild waves dasking round,
With furious speed I onwards rids,
And love the roaring sound !
Blow! blow! thou loud and fearful wind,
Roll on thou angry sea 1
I'll drink to those I leave behind—
111 drink, Joanne, to thee !
Ob! who would tremble at the storm ?

Or, like the coward, weep ?
I'd rather feel my bosom warm
At every lengthened sweep !
The land is for the dastard mind,

The deep ! the deep ! for me ;
11l drink to those I leave behind—

drink, Joanne, to thee !
Love, dearest maid ! like mine, ne'er shall
In empty words depart ;
It still shall nourish, fresh and fair,
Within my faithful heart !
Yes—there's a Powea who dwells above,
Who guards the brave and free ;
lie sees, and will reward our love—

So here's a health to thee !
Blow ! blow ! thou loud and fearful wind,
Roll on thou angry sea ;
I'll drink to those I leave behind—
I'll drink, Joanne, to thee !

THE SOCIETY OF SCHOOLMASTERS.

The donation of 100 guineas from his Majesty to the
Society of Schoolmasters, has been followed by another
Royal benefaction to the same Institution, ♦iz. an annual
subscription from his Royal Highness the Duke of
Orleans. The Duke himself has been denominated the

Royal Schoolmaster, Irons the circumstance, that when
be was an emigrant, wandering in Switzerland, in dan-
ger and distress, he obtained a livelihood for nearly a
year as a teacher of mathematics, at the College of
Coire. His Royal Highness, therefore, calls all members
of the profession 4, Brother Schoolmasters ;" and in order
to commemorate this event, he has caused a picture to
be taken of himself and some of his pupils, in the act of
giving them instructions on a globe, an engraving of
which has been sent to Dr. Kelly, with his annual do.'
nation and which is referred to in the letter which it

of this letter:

" Herewith, Sir, I send you a check for 10 guineas upon Messrs.
Coutts and Co. as my subscription for this year to the funds of the
Society of Schoolma,ters. It is with pleasure that I offer to a So-
ciety, estabislted for such an excellent purpose, this new mark of
the interest I take in it.
" I also send you, Sir, the explanation you requested of the en-
graving you are in possession of.
" Fully sensible of the kind Sentiments you express, be persuaded,
Sir, &c. " LOUIS PHILLfI'E D'ORLEANS.'
