observed something floating on the water, which they very soon dis.

Last week, as Mr. Williams, residing at High-stt eet,
in the Borough, WAS passing over Blackiriars-bridge,
he encountered a man carrying a stove. Whether in-
tentionally or not, the man shoved against him with such
force as to hurt the shoulder of Mr. Williams in such a
manner, that he immediately applied to a surgeon ;
when, on examination, Mr. Williams was ordered an
embrocation, to be applied to his shoulder, with a
draught to ensure repose. Through a mistake of the
female servant who attended him, the embrocation. con-
sisting of opium and soap liniment, was administered
instead of the draught, although properly labelled.—
The effect produced by this unfortunate blunder might
have been attended with fatal consequences, but an
antidote was instantly rebooted to, which happily suc-
ceeded in relieving Mr. Williams from the dangerous
consequences of his servant's ne_glect.
MISTING OF DICIIERARA PLAttsvatts.—Yesterday a
private Meeting of the proprietors of estates in Demos
rara, and of merchants trading with that portion
of the British West India Colonies, was held at the
.City of London Tavern, for the purpose, of adopting
such measures as might be thought necessary, in order
to protect their property from the effects of the Mann-
mission Clause in the Slave Laws. The Meeting was
attended by about 25 Gentlemen of great respectability,
and a series of resolutions were proposed and adopted,
recommending that a petition should be presented to his
M MUTT in Council, stating the great injury that would
be done to their property, were the Manumission clause
put into full effect. It appears that the Authorities at
Demerara have, after considerable discussion, come to
the resolution not to act in accordance with the wishes
of his MAJESTY'S Government, as far as regards the
manumission of slaves, and the Meeting of the Planters
resident in London was called by circular, for the pur-
pose of backing the Authorities at Demerara in their
determination. We understand that a petition is in
preparation, and wilkbe submitted for the signature of
all those who are interested in this important question.
The general body of planters, not only of Demerara,
but also of the British West India Islands, are, it is soil,
strongly opposed to any coercive measures; and the
proprietors of estates in Demerara having as large, if
not a larger stake than others at issue, think it prudent
to forward a petition,to his MaJastv's Government,
laying before Ministers their particular case.
SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—An Inquest was held on Thurs-
day, at the Star Inn, in Rastrick, York, on the bodies of
Martha Fairborn (formerly cook in the family of the
late Sir George Armitage), aged 81 years,and her grand-
son, William Fairborn, aged about three years, both of
whom were burnt to death in the house of the old wo•
man, un Tuesday morning. The mother 'of the boy
was out washing, and the poor old woman was left in
the care of three children, two of whom were out at the
time; it is supposed that the boy's. clothes caught fire,
and that the death of his grandmother was occasioned
by her efforts to extinguish the flames. Verdict—" Ac-
cidental Death.'
