A shocking accident, from a threshing machine,
occurred last week at llillslope, in Itothurghshire, on
the farm of Mr. A. Hooc. A young man, about 20
years of age, when adjusting the machinery, after the
horses were attached, unfortunately got entangled,
and was lacerated in so dreadful a manner, that he
died in a few hours afterwards, in the greatest agony.

Saturday a fine boy about six years old, the son of
Mr. Widrington, a parish officer of Camberwell, met
his death in the following manner :—in playing with
marbles, he unfortunately put one in his mouth and
swallowed it. The child was carried instantly to Mr.
Brown, surgeon, close by, but expired before any
assistance could be rendered.

Thursday morning a melancholy accident occurred
to a very fine girl between seven and eight years old.
the daughter of Colonel BOYS, of Gillingham. The
young Lady was reaching to take down a watch
which was placed upon the mantle-piece, when her
clothes were drawn towards the fire, and were in-
stantly in a blaze ; there was no person in the room
to assist her, and she ran to her mother : the feelings
of the parent were so harrowed at the terrible spec-
tacle of her burning and shrieking child, that she fell
senseless on the floor, and before any assistance could
arrive, the clothes were nearly consumed, and the
cheeks, bosom, neck, body, and limbs of the sufferer
were burnt in a most miserable manner. The pain
the poor child endured was so excessive, that nature
sunk under it, and death terminated her sufferings
about 28 hours after the accident, leaving the family,
particularly a tender and affectionate mother, in a
state of grief and distraction which feeling hearts
alone can duly appreciate.
FORGERIES IN PRANCE.—From a Paris Paper.—
An Eng:ishman, who calls himself John Oliverson,
accused of several forgeries, was brought, on Mon-
day, before the Court of Assizes. His case was
continued during the whole day. The prisoner had
transacted various commercial affairs both in Paris
and Holland, during the years 1816 and 1817, and
has assumed different names.—His system of defence
consisted in asserting himself to have been the first
victim of the forgeries of which he is accused, and
that he had received the forged bills of exchange for
a valuable consideration, believing the signatures to
have been correct. —A document, of which he had
net made use, was seised in his house, bearing the
signatures and the seals in red wax of their Excel-
lencies the Ministers of Finance, of the Marine, and of
the Police. The seals had not been fabricated, but
taken from other instruments, and applied with dex-
terity to this forged document.—lt appears from se-
veral witnesses that the prisoner, having established a
shop in Paris,had written to a London-house, requiring
to know if it had received funds for him? The an-
swer was in the negative, but had the signature of
the house attached to it. This signature, it appears,
was afterwards imitated on a forged bill of exchange
of 100/. sterling, presented at a banker's in Paris.—
Oliverson was found Guilty by the declaration of a
Jury, has been condemned to six years' forced labour,
to b• 2 branded wl.ll the letters T. F. to stand in the
pi1!(..1.7, and to pay a fine of 100 francs.
