Dreadful Calamity By Fire.-It has
seldom fallen TO our lot to record an acct
dent OF more appalling nature than has
occurred at the village OF Winterbourne
Stoke, about miles from this city an
accident originating in carelessness and
thoughtlessness, and causing the sudden
destruction by fire of no less than seven
human beings! The fire broke out be.
tween one aud two O'clock, on Thursday
morning last, in large house belonging
to MIR. G.. kellow, which was occupied
as two teneuents; in one end OF the
house shopkeeper and his family resid.
ed; in the other tive families, consisting
oil niue poor persons, seven of whom,
shocking to relate. were burnt TO death.
The tire was not discovered till the whole
OF the latter part of the building was en-
veioped in the flames +; and it appears that
il was occasioned by Mary Alden tone of
The sutierers) having, previously 10 going
to bed, placed some ashes near to bundle
OF heath, III a but,ery not far from the
fireplace. The names Of the unfortunate
sufferers were, Cbristiana Alden, aged
so years: Mary Alden, aged 40, aud her
daughter Eliza, aged years JanSTar-
get, aged So; Ann Davis, aged %, and
her infant daughter Jane, aged 10 months !;
aud Elizabeth Wilkins, aged II years.
James Davis (lhe husband of Ann Davis
escaped with great difficulty, saving one
oil bis children three years old.--This
poor man, IN the fright of the moment,
leapt from the window to the ground; but
recoilecting the danger to which his wife
aud children were exposed, he re. entered
the house, and assembled into the chamber;
at that time the women of both apartments
were running about 10 an agony of des-
pair; he caught his eldest child with his
left hand. and with his right hand dragged
the mother claspiug her infant to her
bosom, down the stair case but by some
meaus the wife became disengaged from
bis grasp, and was lost with her infant in
the flames which surrounded them. The
father bursting through the door which
was on fire, again reached the outside
with his child, but both were dreadiuIly
burnt. The roof at this moment fell in,
barying in the mass of fire lin addition to
the mother and her infant) the four wo-
men and the child who remained behind.

WELSH INDIANS.
!" To the Editor Of the London Courier

6 Sir-i am not little surprised al
the historical uncertainty, expressed IL
communications to your respectable pa
per, concerning the locality of Welch
settlement ia North America.
. The people in question are as well
known TO the Inhabitants of the Western
continent, as the Welsh people are to the
European world. During residence OF
iorty years in different parts of the Uni
ted States, I have had dealings with
some hundreds OF them; and, in the year
1917, visited their settlements on the
Madwga, or, as vulgarly called, the
Paduea river, with one of the natives, q
crave aud intelligent man Of the name Of
Austin Nerthog These Indians, com-
posed of two tribes, the Bridonee and the
Madogee Indians, have their settlements
OIL two promontories called Kerna, 10 lar
itude about 40 degrees north, and about
80 degrees longitude west. They are
generally a tall and powerful people, Of
fair complexion and OF amiable manners;
they have the use Of letters. aud are in
possession of numerous manuscripts re-
speeding their ancestors of this island,
whom they call Brydon.
The language they speak is Welsh,
much purer than that of the principalliy
of Wales, 10 that it is free iron Angh
cisms their religion is Christianity, deep,
~ blended With Druidism, and their al
most unyaried amusement consists Of mu-
sic and versification.
On my first acquaintance with these
friendly people. which was above 80 years
ago, could hardly believe the individu-
ais conversed with, on account OF these
settlers having raken up position SO DIS
taut from the coast to this they gave me
the following answer, and wh'cn 'uInS
out to be the fact that they first se''iea
on the eastern coast OF Liechein' no"
Lexington, and at other stations, ana a'ter-
wards retired 10 their present settlements
when the country became disturbed oy =
snccession Of invaders from the ola
world.
Al trust. Sir, you will excuse the
shortness aud imperfection OF this letter, as
/ am plain man of business and rather
hurried. having to sail for America to-
morrow, | must beg leave to add mat a.
should any Of my fellow eountrymen De .
inclined 10 visit the Welsh settlers at
Kernau, it will give me great pleasure 10
assist them with every minute direction,
if they will give call upon your obliged
