FATAL ACCIDENT AT LORD DARLINGTON's SEAT.—
The following is an authentic statement of a molt
awful and melancholy occurrence which took place
at Newton House, the seat of the Earl of Darlington,
near Bedale, during the violent storm of last Friday
night : —Between three and four o'clock on Saturday
morning, the family were alarmed and called from their
beds by a most dreadful crash. On flying to the spot,
it was'found that the wind bad blown dons a stack of
chimneys, which had fallen on the of of the room
wherein Miss Russell, the niece of the Countess of Dar-
lington, slept. The roof and ceiling having been thus
driven down into the room, chosked the whole up, so
that the door could not be opened, and no entrance was
obtained until the pannels were broken away, when Miss
Russell was found covered wtth the materials of the
roof and ceiling ; and on removing them, she was brought
out in a lifeless state. Hopes of resuscitation were for
some time entertained; every means instantly mooned
to, and skilful medical aid powered in a very shoet spate
oitime ; but, lamentable to relate, all proved fruitless.
although every hope was not abandoned until near 12
o'clock at noon. It was most wonderful that no mark
or blow appeared upon the face or person, but the fea-
tures and countenance were most placid and serene, as
if she had passed from sleep to death. Thus depadhi
from this uncertain and probationary state. this toga*
and interesting. young Lady—blessed with the brightest
prospects, and to the bloom of life, being in the tett&
year of her age.

made to-day, and the Wheat trade is so completely stag-
nant, that prices are aondual, except for superfine sam-
ples, which were offered at Monday's quotations. and
only a very small quantity could be got off ; the inferior
qualities are totally unsaleable.—Fine malting
slatiatil
supports Monday's currency, but the ordinary
are Is. per quarter lower. The 'Oat trade continues ea-
ceedingly heavy as well as Deans sad Peas, the supply
of each being larger than the eausumers can take o
A few days shwa as a boy was going from this
town to Hassey, by the towiappath, be foiled lying
under the bask of the river, a gold ring, apparently
of great antiquity. It weighs one ounce, twelve
grains, and is ornamented all mend with a very pro-
minent embossers of rude workesauship. Its appear-
ance altogether is perfectly antique, and we sholld
not wonder if antiqoariancenjecture iodated a belle(
that it was formed and fashioned by the ancient Bri-
tons, u an ornament for the fitting finger of some
one the most distinguished of their hardy Chiefs.
The ring is in the possession of the Editor, who
