DUBLIN, SEPTEMBER SO.

An accidental wound which Joseph Fade Goff; Esq. received by
his gun exploding, has terminated fatally. The shot deprived hint
of the sight of one eye, tore away part of his cheek, and a portico
of his skull, notwithstanding which the unhappy result now men-
cloned was quite unexpected. The deceased, who was in the vigour
of manhood, died at three o'clock on Monday, leaving his amiable
Lady, and his family and friends, in a state of affliction more easy
to be conceived than decribed.—ireaford Herald.
One of the many accidents which too frequently occur from the
incautious use of firearms, took place at the Hal, in the neighbrur-
hood of Mountcharles,county of Donegal, a few days ago. Two I die
cousins-german, the one sixteen years of age, the other about four-
teen, having procured a double-barrelled gun, went out together
to amuse themselves with it. The eldest had the gun; but, being
inexperienced in the use of it, as he was handling it, it went off, ;
shot off the arm of his companion, causing immediate death. The
deceased was sun to the Land Steward of Lord Mountcharles,
whose seat the Hall is.

NoRTHWICH, SEPT. 'l9. A mongst other polite
amusements in this intellectual neighbourhood, bull-baiting may be
considered to rank as one of the most favourite amongst the
canaille. The Wakes has just taken place here, and a noble animal,
In despite of Mr. ?damn, of Connamera, was brought out to be
tortured by some ignoble bipeds. Whilst they and their compa-
nions, the dogs, were in the midst of the full enjoyment of sport,
a sudden movement of the bull broke the chain., and away be went,
bearing down all before him, and, followed by barking dogs, swear.

salt down the W to"the Mersey, are so called), and some bun.
dreds of other blackguards, ran roaring and bellowing along the
street. At this juncture, the carriage of Colonel PARRIS, of the
Royal Cheshire Militia, was returning from Vale Royal, where
the Gallant Colonel had been on a visit to his friend, the Lord De-
Auras, and the bull immediately made a push at one of the
leaders, and then ran at the body of the vehicle. He afterwards
turned round, and made a grand charge at one of the servants who
was riding behind, andjoored hint and the horse. inflicting, at the
same time, a severe wound on the animal's thigh. No other in-
jury was sustained.
It appears by some B4rman documents that his
Golden Majesty, during the late war in Ava, had en-
deavoured to form a coalition with the Emperor of
CHINA; but the head of the Celestial Empire contented
himself with promising his Golden Brother an asylum
in his dominions, should the issue of the contest reduce
him to the necessity of seeking such a refuge; and with
offering to accommodate the disputes between the King
of Avat and the English. The instructions from the
Golden Foot-stool to the officers of the Burmese army,
in which they are ordered to « seize, kill, and crush the
rebel strangers who are in Prome," are in the true style
of oriental sublimity. The answer to these instructions
is burlesque itself. A Gentleman, who calls himself
THAD° MINGLE MAMA MINGIAON, announces what he
did do, in the way of seixing, killing, and crushing the
rebel strangers, and at the same time gives a very satis-
factory account of what he did not do. A detachment
sent to Prome succeeded, we are told, in carrying off
" three muskets, two swords, and one pouch." What
a booty! But they failed in their endeavours to " enter
and kill the Chiefs," because " European soldiers kept
guard there."
It is said that the celebrated &misvalue was so de•
lighted with teat famous stanza 01 erzatenota and Housiss in the
tech Psalm,

eg On Cherubs and on Cherublans
Full royally he rode
And on the wings d;deity winds
Came lying an abroad,"
that he used td prole/ he had rather hare been the author of it, than
to have enjoyed the kingdom of Arragon.
