Friday,- a pa; ty of Colonel NORTIICOTE% Regi-
ment, now stationed in Glasgow, with some of the
7th Hussars, having been sent on duty to assist the
Civil Officers in search after arms or delinquents,
were followed nod pelted upon their return to the
Barracks, by a large party of Radicals. The soldiers
immediately charged, when the mob, in flying down
the street, came in contact with the wooden railing
which surrounds the common sewer ; which gave
way, and the unfortunate Radicals were plunged
into x place more substantially filthy than the meta-
phorical cesspool of the House of Commons!

A letter from Strasburg says, that at a ball lately
given by the Countess sof IGELHEINI, a Lady of her
household took the fancy of figuring as a statue in
the middle of the room. Scarcely had she placed
het-tell in the attitude, when she fell down dead. At
first it wa, supposed she did so as a piece of plea-
santry, but it was soon found that she had as attack
of apoplexy.
A frightful fate has befallen Lady COURTENAY
CINCULTER, wife of Mr. BLOUNT, an English Gen-
tleman. This Lady, having her carriage overturned
on Tuesday last, took a hackney-coach to drive to
the house of one of her relations, but her alarm at
the accident was such, that in alightiag from the
coach she fell down dead.—Paris Paper.
A dreadful calamity took place at Boardeaux on
the 3d of this month. The north entrance of the
Cathedral Church of the City is situated between two
towers, surmounted by lofty spires. A pyramidal
obelisk, about 150 feet high, rose immediately over
the gateway. This obelisk had been injured by fire,
:Ind was repaired about ten years since. On the 3d
instant, at five o'clock in the evening, at the moment
that the church service was commencing, a violent
ttorm arose, accompanjed by sudden squalls. The
lightning struck the obeliJc, and dashed it on the
:oof of the church, which, being incapable of sup-
porting this enormous weight, sunk down as far as
to the arch which separates it from the great body of
the Cathedral. A mass of stous immediately poured
in, and killed several of the persons who were as-
.embled in that part of. the Church. A mass of
.tones of more than three metres high filled the nave
it was evident that all Who were covered with this
enormous mass must have lost their lives. The dan-
eo r was every lii ,tant increasing, by the fragments of
the roof, which the gusts of wind shcok, and which
were constanily falling in the midst of the labourers.
architects signified the danger of continuing the
vork, and their fears here but too well founded, for
t,hickly another portion of the roof tumbled in. The
..yoilos were resumed the next morning at daybreak,
and the ruins were nli• removed at twelve o'clock.
The number .of the killed aniouhts altogether to
thirteen, and among the wounded is one whose situa-
tioa leaves ho hope of recovery. All the bodies of
the dead are dreadfully mutilated ; those which could
not be recognised have been transported to the Cum-
in ne.— i'qris Paper.
