LEEDS, MAT 3.—Wednesday a party of Gentlemen
and Ladies, from Branhope, who had gone to pass the
day at Bolton Bridge, iftei viewing ►he scenery of the
place, came to the Strid. There the waters of the
Wharf suddenly contract themselves to a -rocky chan-
nel, only four feet wide, on the margin of which a
young Lady of the party, in her 19th year, the only
daughter of Mr. GEoncse PooLE, of Gray's lan, Lon-
don, was passing, when btr foot slipped, and she was
precipitated into the. stream, a little above the Strid.
On observing the accident, to which his attention was
called by tie skritk of the Ladies, Mr. JOHN DEAN, of
Addingham, threw off his coat arid plunged from the
rock, with the hope of rescuing the young Lady ; and
so nearly had he accomplished his purpose, that he
touched her bonnet, but ►he. violence of the water se-
parated them, and she sunk. It was in vain that he
remained in the water nearly an hour, swimming and.
diving by turns, in hopes of recovering the body, which
was bond on the following morning, washed .through
the cavity of the rock into the broad water. In the
course of the day.an inquest was held by Mr. BROWN,
when the Jnry returned a verdict of Accidentally
drowned."

been employed in doing some repairs, and the latter

part of his clothes. Iles father tried to save him by en-
deavouring to pull him out; but the machinery having
caught hold of the boy's legs, all the father's efforts to
drag him from destruction were ineffectual. Her relin-

Saturday afternoon the London Docks presented a
scene of gaiety nut frequently witnessed in a place de-
voted solely to commercial pursuits. • A grand enter-1
tainment was given on the occasion of the entry of the
first ships into the new basin, which has been for med
to give additional accommodation to the slipping in-
terest. An immense concourse of Ladies and Gentle-
men were assembled early in the Docks. Four vessels,
dressed out in the colours of all nations, entered the new
basin one by one, during which several bands of music
played national airs, and grand salutes of cannon were
repeated for a considerable length of time. The vessels
entered about three o'clock. After the ceremony was
concluded, a choice cold collation was set out, and the
whole company par took of the viands prepared on the
occasion. Champacie.and other wines flowed about in
abundance. The hmnia, a fine ship, for New South
Wdlcs, was the first vessel that entered the Docks.
