Dreadful Occurrence.

An occurrence of the most dreadful
nature took place on Monday evening, at
the Rev. Mr.. Murry's, No. 22, Charles
street, Berkeley square. About half past
six, in the evening, the family were a.
Harmed by the report of a pistol in the up
per part of the mansion; and on proceed
ing to the nursery, Miss Mary Gayton, a
beautiful young lady, only seventeen
years of age, and the sister of Mrs. Muir
ry, was found lying on the ground well
. tering in her blood, having been shot
(unintentionally) by her nephew, youth
of between nine and ten years Of age,
who had incautiously obtained possession
of his fathers pistol. The consterna-
|. ton Of the family may be more easily
conceived than described. Mr.. Bradley,
a surgeon residing on the spot, was inn
mediately sent for, and arrived within
three minutes, but life was instantaneous
ly extinct. The ball had passed in at the
left breast, and had divided two of the
principal arteries. The deceasedreeled
against the bed, and exclaimed 6 Oh
James," the name of the infant agrees
sor, and Immediately fell dead upon the
floor.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, Coro-
ner's inquest was taken upon the body
by Anthony Cell, Esq. at the Running
Footman, Charles-street, Berkeley square.
The nursery maid was examined by
the Coroner, and from her evidence it
appeared that the deceased was upon
visit to her sister (who, it will be re-
membered, was the once fascinating and
amiable Miss Clayton, of Drury-Lane
Theatre, the celebrated dancer and on
the evening in question was sitting in the
nursery, with the maid and an infant,
when Master James hurry entered, and
pointed pistol, said to the deceased, in
the most playful and unconscious man.

From the Boston Evening Gazette

Compendium Of Foreign Intelligence.
Paris papers received at New-Yo rk
as late as January 4th, containing ac-
counts from ST. Petersburg to the 9th
of December, advices from Vienna to
the cath and from Madrid to the gath,
furnish no more recent information from
Constantinople than we had previously
had by the way of London. Every
where indications continually presented
themselves of a probable war with Tur-
key and Russia. The report Of COM
mercial treaty between this country and
France having been concluded, seems
to be finally contradicted; it would be
curious 10 ascertain how the American
Consul in Liverpool was deceived in this
particular.
Irish advices to January 4th indicated
a return of the inhabitants of the coun-
ties so recently in state of disturbance
to apparent tranquility. The floods
which rataged many parts of England
late in December have done great dam
age in Ireland, destroying many valuable
establishments.
Madrid was also tranquil as late as
December Gath. The massacre of the
Greeks in Smyrna was known in Paris
early in January. The French Cham
Der Of Deputies we're engaged on plan
for governing the press.
From South .Amerlca, the intelligence
continues TO be interesting and the mer-
chants begin to be awakened to the adj
vantages of trading with the different in
dependent governments. Several con-
curing accounts inform us Of the declar-
alton of independence of the whole
Isthmus Of Panama, by free vote of
the inhabitants. Those Of the town of
Panama, on the shores of the Pacifck,
proclaimed themselves free on the 28th
Of November, and those of Porto Bello,
in the Gulph Of Mexico, seven days af4
forwards.
A Curacao paper Of January 10Th,
states, that Coro had again fallen into
the hands of the Royalists. But ac-
counts from Maracaibo mention that
Gen. Limo Clement had arrived there
with 1900 men from St. Martha, intend
ing to proceed to Coro and Puerto Ca
bello, the only places held by the Roy
alists on the immense line of sea coast
from the Ofonoko to the Isthmus of Pa
mama. Gen. Bolivar, President of CO.
lombia, had marched from st. Fe de
Bagota, with a large force reported at
5000 men, to endeavour to unite Quito
to the other territories Of that repub-
lick.
