fuesday Mr. Thomas Mac Lean, spirit-dealer in
Gla%gow, lelt that city, by the K•ppen coach, in coon-
.pan, with his brathir; in order to proeeed to Dykehead
of Cardioss, in the Neat of Perthst.ite. Mr. Mac Lean
was a native of that place; and had been complaining
for some time before he left Glasgow, and set out for
the-purpese if enjoying the benefit of his naive air. A
friend was waiting to. meet him with a pony, at Kepp
firs, where the road turns to the Port of Monteith; and
Mr. Mac Lean hiving m•ainted, they .et off instiller.
They had 'not proceeded ahove a mile and a hall, when
Mr: M.'s brother and friend, who were a short way be-
hind, observed him leaning to one side, while riding on
the pony. They ran hastily forward, and inquired if
he was ill; but he did not answer them. They intone.
diately took him in their arms, and carried him intp
Mr. Wright's inn at Kepp, which was not above 40
yards distant; and when they Ilid him &sit, fibs' was
extinct. So sudden a cessation of the-Eduction. of life,
under such circumstances, was truly distressing. •
We'are exceedingly sorry to hear that an accident
happened on Wednesday to a party from Glasiow,•con-
-slicing of the Rev. Greville Ewing, his Lady, and a
Gentleman from Jamaica of the name of Cathcart, who
was • also accompanied by his Lady and his sister, on
their way to view the falls of Clyde. In going.down'
a steep part of the road without drag, io the vicinity
of the upper fall. the catiiage in which.the patty were
was unto' Innately upset, and -sae are grieved to learn.
that Mr. Cathcart has received a severe injury, with
fracture of the spine. His Lady and his sister have also
got contusior.s. the former oithe chest, the latter of the
arm and leg, not very severe. Mr. Ewing has a frac,
ture of the collar bone, and Mu. Ewing a very bad•
fracture of the leg. The whole party are accommos
dated in Brasfield-house, which was empty, but has
been supplied with every thing necessary by the neigh-
homing Gentry, kc. They had good medical advice
and assistance, and they passed a pretty quiet' night
alter the casualty.
Betwixt. Saturday evening and the morning of. Sun-
day last, Robert Jarvis, pensioner, in the -parish of
Denny, was rode over by the Glasgow and Edinburgh
late mail; at Peathill. Jar vie, who at the time did not,
appear to. be much hurt, was able to walk home, but
turned, exceedingly ill after reaching his. house, grew
gradually worse, and died on Sabbath forenoon.

. The learned civi'ian, Sir. Jig. Marriott, said.l! Trade
resembles. in many cases, the Sensitive plant ; touch It, and It
shrinks—press it, and it dies."
Ftsi.coss.—Yest:rdiy the inhabitants of this town
were gratified wilt a view of the falcons belonging to
his Grace the Duke if ST.ALDAWL who is Grand Pal.
cow Of England. The•i fine hiwks,eight in number,

brown, with oblong spots of the same colour on the
breast, on a dingy yellowish ground. They Were on their

in this county, to Lincolnshire.—Furs Herald Sept.l6.
The bustle of the present season being neatly termi-
nated in Covent-garden market, a boarding has been
erected. which encloses the whole of the northern side,
and yesterday a number of workmen were employed in
pulling down the whole range of shops on that side,
previous to the building of the new market, which is
to be commenced forthwith ; when comple ed. it is said,
irom the novelty and beauty of the design, as well as
the superior accommodation that will be afforded, that
