Major• General SAMUeL WILSON, who lately filled the
office of Commander of the Forces at Bombay, died on board the
Upton Castle, jest arrived from that settlement, on the Ist of May,
the day previous to the vessel making St. Helena. The General's
death was equally awful and sudden. He had been sitting at cards
with a party of friends the preceding night, apparently in good
health, except a slight attack of gout, under which he had some
time laboured, which induced him to retire to his cabin, A slight
struggle, as if for breath, and two hollow groans, attracted the at.
tendon of a pasasenger in the adjoining cabin, and on the Captain
reaching the General's cot if. was found extinct. His remains
were interred with funeral honours during the stay of the vessel at
St. Helena' the Governor and five Field Officers bearing the pall.
The General left England in 1783, and had arrived at his rank
through a succession of valuable services, having been at both the
sieges of Serinppatam in 1792 and 1799.

Obelisk, in St. George's-fields. As a party of the
Guards were returning to town from Greenwich, about
11 o'clock, the horse of a Gentleman, who was driving
past in his gig, took fright at the music, and started
off down the Westminster road, and when near Charles-
street, knocked down five persons, among them, the
maid servant of Mr. Merritt, of the Havannah coffee-
house, in the Westminster-road, whose collar bone was
broke. and both her ancles severely injured ; Mr.
Dennis, a t .ilor, in Charles-street, was taken home
with his face much lacerated, and bleeding pro'usely ;
a little girl, whose name was not learnt, was taken up,
to all appearance lifeless, and conveyed to a neighbour-
ing surgeon's ; and a labouring man was struck so
violently by the iron step of the chaise as to break it off.
The horses of a Greenwich coach also took fright, and
the coach, with the utmclst difficulty, prevented from
being upset; the horse occasioning the mischief was
stop?ed near Lambeth Marsh-gate, without the Gentle-
man. sustaining the least injury.
