SIMULATED DEATH. • • ••
A very extraordinary case of this nature occurred a fdw.
days ago, at Hammersmith, in the person of Harriet Smith, a
young woman of Interesting appearange, who• served as house-
maid in the family of Robert F‘minterson, Esq., of. Oxford-
street. This girl, it seems, had, abost three years ago, been
thrown from the top of e stage-5900, and received
.!Piny se-
vere contusions both intermit and external, which seriously
affected her'sstrength, and brought otin gradual dee* 'ef nd-

RULING TOE netters I—A short time since, a woman,
about 45 years of age, tall in person, brown complexion,
with a long blue cloak on. and hiving the appearance of a
gipsey, called io the evening at the shop of Mr. Edward
C—, a howl/sire, flour Ideate', &c. at Preston-in-the
Moors, near Wellington, Salop, and purchased a few arti•
des, such as sugar, cheese, for them and retired.
The next morningebe called again at elm shop, accompa-
nied by a young wipes) of good ligure, evidently orate
same tribe, and after a short conversation informed Mr. C.
that sbe bad been riding ski ',Maces duties" the bight; find'
bad discovered that he was hereto become fi'vety rich„fm•
deed ;" that a great property wao concealed near his house.;
and she tumid inform him where it was, and bow lie"nsiglit
possess it, bat as no one but.himself would be allowed to
toucher remove it from its eanceshoeist, he must first pre-
pare 251., to be folded op in a porticelar mesas!, in his
presence, as a charm, before any proceedings &mild be un-
dertaken. This sum be promised to provide by the evening,
he did accordingly select 22 one pound notes, a five pound
note, and one sovereign, making to all 281. as required.
About dusk in the evening the Sorceress came ; the money
was produced ; she commenced folding the notes, placing
the sovereign within them, then wrapped them up in paper,
placed them on the counter, and requested he would cover
them over with floor to comeletifthe char& ; the man turned
his bead for a moment while heisached• the flour, covered
the parcel which he supposed contained his money, the
Sybil telling him every thing would g 9 on well, but he
Most keep the parcel covered with dour for 14 days, and
not attempt to look at it, or the charm Would be broken,
and misfortune attend him as long as he lived. Sbe then
bade him good night, promising to call again at the time
appointed. Soon after the woman disappeared, Mr. C. be-
gan to feel uneasiness lest all Was not right, and he ventured
to open the charmed packet, when, to his dismay, he disco-
vered that his money was gone, but a roll of paper, similar
to the roll of notes, was substituted ; and thoegli immediate
i search was made for this ingenious professor of astrology,
she was gone too, and has not since been discovered. The
poor dupe was in Stafford this week, and related his disaster
with artless gravity.—(Sealord Paper.)
BRIGHTON, OCT. 10.—On Tbursday.lest. the Town Sur-
veyor, (under the direction of the Counhissioners) attend.
ed by peace officers,, commenced taking down the bow
window of Mr. Bastick's house, in St. James's Street,
baker. The circumstance drew together a concourse of
people. The workmen employed, -however, soon ceased
their operations, from, we presume, Mr. Bastick adopting
the plan of his next door neighbours, Messrs. King and
France, who have, themselves, in conformity to the wish
of the Commissioners, set their windows back.
On Thursday afternoon, a scaffiald erected before a
house in Jubilee Street, with three men on it, in conse•
(pence of the breaking of a putlog, gave way, and the
three men were precipitated to the ground; one of them,
named Nell, had hie thigh fractured, the others received
hurt, but not of so serious a nature, as to preclude the
hope, that, in a short time, they will be enabled to resume
their week.
On Saturday last, as the Southampton coach was on its
progress to this place, near Barham Potind, a child, about
IS months old, belonging •to a travelling family, while
„flaying in the road, fell beneath the wheels, which, pass-
ing over its body, caused its almost immediate death.—An
Inquest was hit' by J. 1.. Ellis, Esq. on Monday, when
the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Deatn." and
a deodand of 13s. on the coach.
" ON Monday evening, two young men quarrelled, in the
-North Street, Chichester, and proceeded to blows, when
one of them, ars Italia°, finding himself too weak in the
hands of his antagonist, actually seized him by the ear,.
' which fie neatly bit off, as well as made three consider-
