On Sunday; a Mr. Holden, of Somer-street in the •

incautiously drawn Ins feet Out of the atarruirs, was,
on his horie receiving a start, suddenly carried along
with sued fury, as prevented him regaining a. corn-
mand of the affrightectanithal. In his flight through
Clare-street, however, he was arrested by the praise-
worthy exertions of Mr.l-Lunblin, of the 7th Dragoons,
though, we lament to Say, not without the most
serious consequences. Mr. Holden was thrown a
considerable distance from his horse, and fell upon
1 a help of stones, by which he receieed some 'severe
contusions and a wound on the he ii, which it is fear;

About the hoot of three o'clock on Tuesday, the

in'eaiterly direction, and whit led every thing which
came in contact with. it into the air. The noise at
first was tremendous, and in a short. time hay and
straw were flying in the air until they appeared td
touch the clouds. One cock cf hay in particular,
which lay in an exposed situation, was carried round
several times, and then into the air, and some of it
was seen to continue there for upwards of 10 minutes.
The clothes upon the hedges were whipped. up and
floated in the same way for a considerable time, and
some of them were:afterwards found at nearly a quar-

who was unfortunately drowned on the 'l2d of Fe-

and has since been interred there.—The body of As-

and conveyed to Saint George's Workhouse, Mount-

Thursday evening, as Mr. Drewe, of Wapping.-
was sitting by the fire-side, a piece of coal exploded,
and part tell at his feet. Mr. D. on examination,
found it shaped like a coffin, and this accidental con-
currence with a dream he had the preceding day',
that he should die that evening, had so powerful an
effect on him, that he befame extremely ill, and not-
withstanding the aid of medical men, he died the fol-
lowing day.

TIM GUINEA TRADL—The late guard of one of
the Royal Mail Coaches was apprehended yesterday,
and charged before the Loan MAYOR, with being a
common buyer of guineas, at a price above the legal
value. On searching him, eight Guineas were found
in one pocket, and various other sums concealed in
different part: about him ; on his examination, lie ad-
mitted that he had given the sum of Jel ss. 61 for
each guinea. •
Yesterday -- WA" was charged at the Man-
sion house with stealing a pocketbook, containing notet
avid memorandums, from a Mr. Palmer. The rosee
tutor stated, that on Saturday he was walking down
Fish-street Hill, when he felt a sadden jerk at his
Pocket, and missed his book. He instantly seized
the prisoner, and charged him with the theft, when
he declared his innocence; but a woman delivered to
the prosecutor a pocket-book, which she said she saw
fall from the prisoner. He was therefore fully com-
mitted for. trial.
EdwarelGandfle was yesterday re-examined at Guild-
hall, charged with attempting to break into the Three
Tuns .public-house, Red Cross-street, when the offer
was made to forego a prosecution provided he would
enlist as a soldier ; but as he declared that he would
" rather be hanged than wear a red coat," he was
fully committed.
C. Hairy was yesterday committed from Marlbo-
rough-street,charged with a most violentlatsault on
Develin, a watchman, on Sunday morning,
It appeared that the prisoner, with four or five others,
were lurking about the neighbourhood of Compton-
street, at four o'clock on-Sunday morning, and in or-
der to prevent depredations, a watchnian sprung' his
rattle, and the fellows decamped Soon after, the
prosecutor was talking with the watchmen alluded to,
at a public-house, when the prisoner attacked hi en
with a poker, and wounded him dreadfully in the head.
Two unnatutal monsters, the one who degraded
the character of a gentleman, described as a man of
fortune, and the other a soldier in-the Guards, Were
'committed from Queenesguare-Otßee on Friday, for

soldier was sentinel at Spying Gardens, when ibe as.
