NEWCASTLE, JaLy 24.

A serious accident occurred on Friday morning at
one of M. 'Amoroso's pits, called the Charley. It
appears that it had by some means taken fire, and eight
men were burnt, some severely, but not so as to occo
sioo death to any of them.
A distressing instance occurred, within the last few
days, at Sunderland, of the effect of fear oo the mind.
The wife of a seaman in Silver-street, in an advanced
state of pregnancy, it appears, having heard of some
act of dishonesty of a little boy related to her by mar-
riage, chastised bim severely. This beating roused
spirit of that for some time esisted against her
among her neighbours, and the young people, probably
at the instigation of the older, determined to burn the
poor woman who had thus given them offence in effigy,
Straw was got ready for the purpose, and they were
bringing it towards her house, when toms friends gave
her satimation of what was about to take place, and
the intelligence made such an impression on her, that
she immediately fell back in a fit of apoplexy, and ex,
pima. A surgeon was sent for, who extricated the
child from the womb. It had then life, but soon fol-
lowed its parent. A Coroner's Inquest which sat re
the body of this unfortunate woman, returned a verdict
of—Died by the visitation of Gon.

Possourso.—Tuesday an Inquest was held at the
Brill, in Somers' Town, on the body of Frederick %it-
tenbaeb, who was supposed to have been poisoned by
his wife. The facts of the case were stated in Tai
STAR of yesterday, and upon the Ugliest no fresh facts
were elicited, excepting that a few days before the death
of the deceased, his wife had been heard to wish it was
her lot to wear the widow's weeds; and on Saturday, le
speaking to her landlord, she said, " my daughter little
thinks what is now in my head.* As there was no d ,übt
that the deceased had 'died in consequence of the poi•
son administered in the podding which he had ea"
and which had been prepared by his wife, the Jury is•
turned a verdict of Wilful Murder against her.
Of the eight bodies that were suspended for so many
years on gibbets, off Blackwall Point not one now re.
mains to be seen, by persons who past up or down tbe
River. These of the four Malays have, some time sincri
totally disappeared, and the gibbets on which Bock
and Gilliam, the smugglers, and the other two whites
were suspended, have lately been sawed down, by order
of the Loan lion ADMIRAL. What is left, now Iles
among the mud and weeds alongside of the liver. i
number of persons have been to view them, and a relic
collector has carried off one of the smuggler's hands.-
The clothes on the bodies fall to pieces hie tinder, with
the aceptien of past of a check shirt, taken from on.'er
he arena( one of the smugglers, which is still fresh sod

strong.

fury upon any one who dares to molest them.
