14010 Ys fElt, M ARO' 18.--A dreadful a,ccidetit oc-
curred in this town yesterday evening, by the falling
of a floor over the kitchen of Mr. John Wyade, a
respectable maltster and merchant. This floor, it
appears, was loaded with a large quantity. of wheat,
but not being properly secured, some of the timbers
gave way, and the whole was iustautaneously pre-
cipitated-through a second floor, into the kitchen,
where Mrs. Wynde, her aunt, four children, and
two female servants, were sitting. An alarm being
immediately given by a man servant, who happened
fortumpely to escape, though buried nearly breast
higb. The most prompt assistance was afforded, and
in less than half an hour the whole were dug out;
the three younger children were dead from suffoca.
.tion, and the two servants from violent contusions
and fractures on their heads; every exertion was
.made by a number of medical men, who were soon
upon the spot, to restore animation, but without
.effect. Mrs. Wyude, her aunt, and the eldest
tinUghter, miraculously escaped death, the aunt and
daughter being found in an upright situation, covered
e,bnot breast high with fallen timber, bricks, and
' Mrs. Wynde was the last that was discovered
(eteept the two servants) upon the floor, under the
whole of the rubbish, and by proper exertions, was
Roan recovered; but her immediate enquiries about
the children, and her lamentations when inrormed
of the fate of her family, were heart-rending beyond
d'etaription. •Indeed such a truly distressing scene
was scarcely ever witnessed. Mr. Wynde, who had
been esibpa4ki to Worcester Assizes, arrived this
biessintby express, and those who are husbands and
patents may feel, but cannot describe, his situation
—bereft in an instant of nearly the whole of his
family!

About eleven o'clock in the evening of Monday 1
last, a quarrel took place in the streets of Irvine,
between some of the inhabitants of that town, prin-
tipsily sailors, and some of the soldiers belonging
to a detichtivent of the 27th regiment of foot guar.,'
