A form, equal in violence to that which necnrred
on Sunday fe'nnight is the metropolis, and its envi-
rons, prevailed at the fame time at Edinburgh, and
in the neighbourhood of Belfaft, and towards the
Irilb coat.

----- -
On Monday fe'nnight, as Tome young men were
palling by the gate before Greenfield Houle, Air-
!hire, one of them, named John IsVCreath, in a fro-
lie, climbed up one of the pillars, and feated himfelf_
on the neck of it, grafping the globolar flone on the
top, then looking round to his companions, the fionc.l
held by its. weight only in a fhallow fneker, was forc-
ed out of its place, fell with him, and pitching on the
fide of his head, killed him outright.
LaR week, as feeeral workmen, who had been
employed in pulling down an o'd firm houfe at Qat
near Mnrpeth, were clearing away the rub
bilb, an old bag was taken up, which, on being lifted,
went to pieces, and difeovered an immenle quantity,
lof gold coin. On examination they proved to be
old, and of the coin of CHAILLIs the Firtl, with the
end Carotur D. G. Mag. Bri. F. et Hi. Rex, and XX.
be ind the head, to denote its value in [billings; and
ow the reverie, round the arms, Parent Concerefeaßtgeta.
They were all nearly the breadth of an half crown,
but very thin, and, on being weighed, were found
to be of the value of sl. os. sod. each. Some of the
workmen had appropriated the greateß part of the
treafure to themfelves before it was difcnvered ; but
the proprietor of the houfe was loon apprized of the
circumttance, and with difficulty recovered, perhaps,
a tithe of the whole.
The affedion of the parent bird for its young was
never more forcibly exemplified than in the follow-
ing inflame :—The latter end of !aft week a boy
purloined a thrall's nett, near Rockeliffe, and bore
off his prize towards Carlifle, where he lived. The
mother who had jut been feparated from her young,
wish unceafing folicitnde purfued them Rep by Rep ;
which the boy and his companions perceiving, fre-
quently put down the neR, when the as eonttantly
refumel her place, refuting to retire until alma
grafped by the hand. Thus they travelled on to-
gether, until at the diflance of five miles, the boy
reached his home, and having taken the nett into
the houfe, the ;lit-conciliate parent watched an op-
portunity, and fprung in at the window the feated
herfelf as before, and could not be driven thence.
A linguist and awful circumflance took place at
Wotton-under•Edge, on Sunday the loth ult. A
woman of the name of lane, who had been is the
habit, for twenty years pall, of inßruding poor all-
dren who attended t:se Sunday (drool at the Rev.
ROWLAND Hugs chapel, particularly wifbed, that
when it 'tmid plea& Gorr to take her, the might die
in f,me Emit of the premiles belonging to this lode-
fatigable man. She attended the chapel as ufual in
vu,' health on Sunday morning, and appeared per-
icetly well till Mr. Hite had concluded his fermon,
when the was obfcrved by form of the congregation
to change colour ; and before-they had time to take
her from the place, (he expired without a groan.
The following lingular circunallance recorded on
authority : For near .hree weeks, the only daughter
of Mr. WRIGHT, of Dukedreet, Manchester-Gni:ye,
aged three years, appeared unwell, as it fn m a cr Id
in the head and note ; the could hardly Creak ; and
the parents, from her note getting quite fl or, began
to fear it was broken from a fall. A furgeon was
contulted, whole opinion was, the nofc was not
broke, but probably the child had had a tall ornlow,
as her forehead appeared black. An ahfcefs in the
left noßsil appeared to be gathering. Thurfday,
another furgeon called to fee the child, and probed
the nofe, *hen he drew out a white kidney bean,
(welled four times as big as its common fize when
dry, and which 11 id begun to gesso in the child's
head, linking upward., and was extra led peeled,
except fplitting in hag. The father has got it in fpi•
nits; lance which the child is as well as it was be-
fore : it had forrkhow or other pufhed this bean up its
nofe, and could ant get it back again.
On Wednefday night lAR. as a man (named Snape)
and his wife and child. was tenoning firma Eecletton
club teaß. in a cart, the horns took fight. and this
