Ma. LUDLAM, THE LUNATIC.—The keeper of this
unfortunate gentleman, who made so curious an ap-
pearance on Tuesday at Lincoln's Inn Hall, attended
yesterday at the Court of Chancery to seek his pa-
tient. He stated, that he saw the lunatic in bed at
eleven on Tuesday night, at his lodgings in Charles.
street, Westminster; that he took away his clothes
which he had worn in the day, and when he went to
, see him in the morning, he was not to be found.
The only article missing from his room was a blan-
ket, which, lie supposed, he rolled round bim. The
keeper stated lie had made a most diligent but fruit.
less search after him. He was advi.ed by the Offi-
cers of the Court to wait on Mr. CARR, the &ere.
wry of Lunatics, who would communicate the cir-
canistances to the Loins CHANCELLOR.
FATAL ACCIDENT.--S.kturdity evening, as a Lidy
and two Gentlemen were returning home in a one-
horse chaise from Narwich to Yartham, in attempt-
iug to pass a waggon, near Honirigham Church, they
were unfortunately upset. when Mr. HURRY MARCON,
who was sittivg on the left hand of the driver, was
thrown under the wheels of the waggon, and kilted
on the spot; the Lady happily escaped without ma-
teriel injury, hut the other Gentleman had three ribs
broken, and was otherwise much hurt.
The Provincial Papers hive, within the last week,
mentioned many bases of injury done by the 9 reds
over various parts of the country. They are ail,
however, trivial, compared with the damage done in
the Isle of Ely. in Cambridgeshire, as appears by
the following extract from the Bury Paper :
66 ELY, JAN. 13. 1817.—1 t is with extreme regret
we state, that a tremendous breach or gull has taken
place in the Burnt Fen Bank, near Mr. Santini 's, on
the river Lark, by which near 15.000 acres of land
are inundated."
At Boulogne, on the .sth inst. a very remarkable'
phenomenon occurred. Between one and two o'clock
in the morning, the sea became unusually agitated,
add rushed Lao the port with such impetuosity, that
in less than half an hour it had risen two feet above
as ordinary level. A great number of ships and
small craft were driven against the jettee of the port,
and suffered more or less damage. S. me parts of
the quay have been injured. This phenomenon is
supposed to be Connected with some earthquake in
oilier parts.
