An awful instance of sudden death occurred be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock yesterday morning in
Charter House-sqtrare. The two-penny postman
going to a Gentleman's door to deliver a letter gave
two knocks, and on the servant opening the door he
staggered into the passage, fell down, and expired
immediately.
Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, a boat with
six men and four women, of genteel appearance, ap.
proacbed London Bridge, in its way down the River,
from an excersioa on a party of pleasure, in the
course of the day, as far as Richmond. The tide
was going down rapidly ; and a waterman, in .a
ler, perceiving their intention to go through the
Bridge, went alongside, and apprised them of the
danger of such an attempt in the then state of the
River. The women were alarmed, and were, at
their request, put ashore above Bridge ; after which
the six men in the boat rowed back, and made an ef-
fort to shoot through the middle arch, when, unfor-
tunately, the boat went down head foremost. Four
of the party were washed off and drowned. The
other two stuck to the boat, which came up immedi-
ately, and, with assistance from the shore, which was
full of spectators, were saved. Two of the bodies
have been found. One of the persons lost was bro-
ther of one of the survivors.

During an exhibition of fire-works lately, at New-
castle-upon-Tyne, some•sparks of fire communicated
with a pArcel of rockets which flew off in all direc-
tions ; unhappily, one of them struck a young man,
of the name tit Price, apprentice to a grocer, and
wounded him so severely in the face, that he died in
a few minutes.

John Hill, a passenger in Messrs. Adams and
Lancaster's Southampton waggon, being very impru-
dently suffered to drive the horses, by some accident
fell down, when both the near wheels passed over his
loins, and killed him on the spot. The Coroner's
Jury imposed a deodand of 415.
The following melancholy accident happened
lately, at the Bird in-Hand Inn, in Bootham, in the
suburbs of York ;—John Sowry, a men respectable in
his sphere, employed ae ostler and brewer at the said
inn, unfortunately fell into a cower of boiling liquor,
and was so severely scalded as only tc survive two
days, leaving a wile and two young children in great
misery and distress, and destitute of friends aele to
render them any assistance.
• Tuesday a melancholy accident appened in the
neighbourhood of Stafford.—As William Lewis, a
faithful servent of Mr. Thomas Eli, of H ateghton, was
driving a horse in a gig, with two Ladies, down hill,
at Billington, the horse suddenly became restive, and
the man being thrown out, received a fatal hurt, and
died on the following day. The young Ladies eica.
pee ',,ithout injury, although the gig was broken in
pieces.
A singularly distressing accident happened at the
Lochaline lime-works, Argyleshire, on the 24th ult.
As some of the workmen were employed in, the late-
rior of the kiln, the footing of one of them gave way,
when he fell perpendicularly into a cavity formed be-
neath him, and was instantly enclosed up to the shoul-
ders with the burning shells. The overseer, and his
fellow workmen, made every exertion to extricate
him from his shocking situation, but without effect.
With much personal risk, they got a cord passed be-
low his arms, which, in pulling, broke twice ! Then,
to prevent the body from being consumed, they kept
continually pouring water on him till life was extinct.
He endured, with heroic firmness, for upwards of
half an hour, the most excruciating pain, arising from
the united uirtures of the weight and insupportable
heat of a vast quantity of the half burnt stones. He
remained, during the period of his suffering . Luke col-
lected, and viewed his inevitable fate with the fortitude
and calm resignation of a Christian. With wonderful
composure, he bade the people around him an affect-
ing adieu, and continued to pray in the most pious
and fervent ejaculations to the ALMIGHTY for himself
and his afflicted friends, and breathed his last recom-
mending his soul to his CRUTCH, and blessing his
wife and child. When death had relieved the ill-fated
mar, the body was soon drawn opt, and found to
have suffered less external injury than could be ex-
pected. The heart-rending scene which &flowed,
when his wife, mother, sisters, and brothers, were
Made acquainted with his fate, and came to view the
lifeless corpse of a person so dear to them all, and who
parted with then an hour before in od health and
spirits, may be conceived, but cannot be described.—
The name of the unfortunate sufferer was DUNCAN
MACMASTIIN a young men of sober industrious habits,
and of gond moral character. He has left an old wi-
dowed mother, a wile, and an infant son not a month
old, to deplore his irreparable loss.
Last week, four children, the eldest about six
years old,•Went out under the rocks, a little distance
from Budleigh, Selterten, to gather periwinkles ;
the tide coming in, they were unexpectedly surroun-
ded by the sea ; when providentielly some fisher:nen
observing them in motion, trick them for birds, and
rowed towards the rocks with the intention of shoot-
ing them ; but to their surprise discovered their mis-
take, and rescued them horn a watry grave.
About the beginning of April as some workmen,
belonging to Mr. Thomas Bell, of Ripon, brick-
maker, were digging for clay, under a stratum of
which, of three yards thickness, they came to a bed
of black earth, measuring eighteen square yards, and
nearly ten in depth, con raining a quantity of wood,
•principally oak and hazel branches, and-about three
,hundred bushels of nuts, without husks, perfect in
appearance, and of a beautiful brown colour ; when
opened, there was a.rind, but no kernel ; and after
being exposed to the Atenesphere, they become quite
bl ck.

ARRIAGE should be the foundation of snciai
happiness, which is often disturbed through the parties that
form the union, nut taking those precautions which would Imre
them the enjoyment of that treat domestic blessing. Amidst
the melancholy variety of disorders under which human natsre
is known to suffer, there arc none more alarming or more Ms-
tressing than those which result from fashionable gaieties, ratty
diss:nation, cr solitary intemperance.
Messrs. CURR IF. and Co. beg to state that the sedulous at•
tendon of a practice exclasivl•ly directed to the treatment end
core of CERTAIN COMPLAINTS, entitle them to tLe cilia
of superior acquirement. As regular tiurgeons, they otiera
speedy and permanent care for every staged that disorder, tsLiill
is contracted in an unguarded monsent, and which piainme the
springs of life, and for every class of debility, which is the cony-
quence of juvenile inliscretions, preventing the maturity of man-
hood, ent..iling by anticipation, on its unhappy victim-all the is.
' firmities of old age—t!,e bo !y becoming entreated and ems-
ciared—the cheeks yellow and bloodless—and the mind nloorny
and dejected. Per the result of their success in this
lar branch, they refer to that reputation, which, they tv:rr
thenisLivcs, they hive acquired,_by 30 years expert:nice, in a
much extended practice. In itnglit and recent cases of Syphilit.
tie Cotriplaint., a perfect cure is completed in the chart period of
. days ; and m the most agar:watt:l cases, a proper perseverance
in their plan of treatment insures to the patient an invigorated
constitution.
Married Women, who have long been disappointed in :lief
expectations of a family, may be assured that, in most it:stanceis
such defects are curable by medical skill; and though the re-
mental of sec's impediments be an object of doubt and uncertainty
with others, yet the cure of such defects, by the gradual pro-
gress of renovation, is the acquirement of their experience.
