MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—An inquest was held yester-
day (Monday), before the county coroner, at Great Crosby,
on view of the body of Mr. Robert Heyes, a gentleman who
lived at Crosby, and whore death took place under the most
painful circumstances. Mr. Heyes has for some time past
been labouring under a severe illness; and on Thursday
night, after the family had retired to bed, the deceased was
awakened by Mrs. Heyes calling out for something which
she was in want of. Deceased immediately got up, and, in
the hurry, he missed his footing and fell down stairs. A
surgeon was called in, when it was found that the spine of
the deceased was very much injured ; and although every
possible assistance was rendered, deceased only lingered
about eighteen hours. • Verdict—Accidental Death.

On Saturday last an inquest was held at the house of
Alice Westmore, at West Derby, on view of the body of
Henry Green, a man about fifty years of age. Deceased had
been at a dahlia show at West Derby village, and he and
one of the witnesses, John Lucas, who lives servant with
Mr. Freme, returned from the village about half-past ten
o'clock, and the deceased and Lucas walked together as far
as Mr. Freme's house, past which there is a style road,
which is the nearest way to the deceased's house. Deceased
carried a cabbage in his hand, and was fresh in -- On
Friday morning Lucas was informed that d

quor
eased was

missing, and that a hat and a cabbage were found floating in
a pit, which is about seven or eight roods from the style
road, leading past Mr. Freme's to the deceased's house.
The pit was immediately searched with drag hooks, when
the body of the unfortunate man was found. There was a
foot mark at one side of the pit where he appeared to have
fallen in. Verdict, found drowned, without marks of
violence.

PORT NATAL.—By the Bland, which left the Cape of Good
Hope on the 30th of June, and arrived at this port on Fri-
day, the following intelligence has been received :—" On Sa-
turday evening, the 27th of June, an anonymous despatch
was received in Cape Town from Port Natal, via Graham's
Town, stating that Captain Smith's party had been cut off to
a man, that the Boors had taken possession of the two
schooners then lying in the bay with stores, &c., viz., the
Mazeppa and Louisa, and some fears were apprehended for
the Couch, then on her way with a small number of troops
from Port Elizabeth. Her Majesty's ship Isis sailed from
Sitnon's Bay, the 28th June, for Port Natal, and report said
that the Fly and Bramble were to follow immediately. A
person who was supercargo of a Dutch schooner in Natal,
some time ago, supposed to have been instigating the Boors
to rebellion, is now in prison in Cape Town." It will be seen
this unpleasant intelligence rests on no official or even suffi-
cient authority. At the same time the circumstances in
which Captain Smith's party was placed, render it, we re-
gret to say, only too probable.
