carried them into .L'Orient, but would not land
them to be made prisoners. The Argus sailed
from L'Orient to cruise in the Chops of the
Channel, and had been within. 16 Miles S. W. of.
&illy. She took a vessel from Madeira for London,
with a quantity of wine on board, and two La.;
dias, passengers, which induced. Captain Allen
to allow the vessel to proceed on her voyage,
but -he first destroyed every part of her cargo
he could get at. Capt, Row, of the Salamanca, and
all his crew were also put on board this vessel, and
were landed at Pens,ance. The Argus is a remark-
able fine mid well-equipped vessel, sails very fast,
and has on board eighteen 24-pound carronades, and
two long nines, with a complement of 150 men.

A young lady of the name of Newham, niece of a
lady of that name, resident in Wyatt-row, Linos..
green, met with a shocking accident on Wednesday
night. She had been out to a party, and on het re-
turn soon aftir the family were gone to bed, her
cries alarmed the house, and on entering her bed•
room she was found 09 the floor enveloped in flames.
She had been reading a novel, and by some means
the candle had communicated to a muslin dress.—
The fire was subdued by rolling a carpet round the
'unfortunate girl, and hopes are entertained of her
reCOtery.

A report appeared some time ago in one of the
London Papers, from which it was copied into 'leve-
ed of the Scotch Papers, that an unfortunate per-
son, lately deceased, had left behind him a con-
fession that he was the murderer of Begbie, former-
ly porter to ch. British Linen Company. We have
authority for ,stating, that there is not the least-'
foundation (Or this•report.—( Edinburgh Mercury.).
On Monday, the 18th ivst. two young men, named
John and Robert Chevens, sons of Mr. Chevens;
coope-, in Scott's-street, VVimcolmlee, went to bathel
at their dinner hour, in the Sutton drain, a little!
above Sutton-row, near hull, in company with. al
young man of the name of Soppitt, son of Mr. Sop-
pit, Export-officer in the Excise, at Hull. Out of
them unfortunately got out of his depth, owing to ,
the channel deepening very suddenly in the middle,
and upon hie brother oho had left the water calling I
out for assistance for him, Mr. Soppitt, who was.
bathing at some little distance, got out of the draini
ran along the bank, and jumped in to his ranee, itsl
he was shaking. Mr. Soppitt caught hold of him un-
der water and brought him towards the side, but the I
bank,in the channel being both slippery and preci.
pitate, he could not succeed in getting him into shal-
low water; it was only with great difficulty that 'be
extricated himself from the grasp of the unfortunate
young man, and reached the bank quite exhausted,
having swallowed a considerable quantity of water.
In the interim of his being thus humanely employed,
the other Chevens, whom he had left running about I
almost distracted upon the bank, calling for assist-
:ince, and who Mr. Seppitt had warned against at-
tempting to relieve his brother, as be could not
swim, is supposed to have thrown himself into the
drain, as on Mr. Soppitt's emerginehe could not see
him ; and no other witnessed the accident. Nearly
twenty minutes elapsed before assistants could be'
drawn to the spot, when Mr. Soppitt again went
I've the water, and succeeded in bringing up the
Itnris of the two brothers, quite lifeless. One of
dote was about 18, atnl the other 16 years of age. 1'
