We have been informed that some of the squadron Oa, the 3d Dragoon Guards, which left this city on Tuesday, on the march for Cahic, had some dlispute with the country people on the road. In the scuffle which followed, one of the dragoons, we regret to state, received a blow of a spade on the skull, tfrom the effects of wlhich he was unable to proceed farther on the route than Tipperary. where, we understand, he died on lVednesday.-Limerick Observer. A dreadful accident occurred on Tusesday, on the pre- rnises of Alr. Bramwell, wine and spirit-merchant, at the corner of Elizabeth.street and Ebury-terrace, Five-field-, Pimlica. Four la- bouring men were employel, without thc superintendence of a brick^ layer, to pull down an aotied VrAiult used as a liquor cellar; this vault opened from the house, and extende(d the whole length of the back yard, about 60 feet; instead of taking off the earth that covered the vault, andt aking up tile bricks, they commenced underneath, and pulled down about 16 feet of'one aide, and the fouraatin arow under the lhangingarch on the other side, and were employed in cleaning the bricks, when on a sudden the whole fell in; one of the men, who happened not to be under the in pendinig arci, escaped; the man who sat next him ivas half buried in the ruins, and very much injured; and the other two, after an hour's hIard labour, were dug out quite dead. The bodies were taken to the Bsicklayerb'-aims, in Elizabeth- street, for the Coroner's inquest. Turner, the man who wasinjured, was put into a wann bath, ind every thing done to assist him,and we are glad to find he is expected to recover. HOR.SBLE AcciDENT.-Oneof the most drea(dful cases of burning-ever witnessed occurred on Tuesdaynight about9 o'clock to llrs. Ann Fcrmon, an old lady, in the 79th year of her age, at hier son's house, Zoar-street, Gravel-lane, Blackfriars. She had been left by her daughter reading before the fire in the front parl3ur about ten minutes, when a strangcer passing beheld from the street the reom in flanes, and gave the alarm. On entering the apartment, a horrible scene presented itself; the wretched womain extended on the iloor wittiout a vestige of raiment of any description iemaiDing on her person, wh.ich, with the exception of her ieet, was burnt frightfuUy, the tongue, hdir, eyes, ears, and nails being nearly destroved ; in thlis calanmitous condition thc ill-fated sufferer was wrapped in sheets and taken still breathing to Guy's HOspitLI, v/hen, afLerlangruishing in tke extremity of torture for four hours, and calling on death to relieve her, she expired fn the artns of her afflicted son. She was unusually tall, alld had bome the remains of much beauty. It is remaatkable that her Insband wvas scalded to death 43 years since.
