Upon her arrival she addressed a note to.him, which he so contemptuouSly replied to that it occasioned an excessive depression of her spirits. The Lady aftertvards walked to Melton, about • a mile from Woodbridge, and being extremely fatigued, she went to an Inn, requested a small glass of water, sat down, and immediately burst into a violent flood of `tears A respe&able Gentleman present, solicitous to know the cause of her sorrows, and offering his services to alleviate them if possible, she, in the most unreserved manner, related the whole of her epistolary correspondence with the Officer, to the entire satisfaCtion of the Gentleman as to the authenticity of her tale. The Gentleman took the Lady into his family, wrote to her friends, and persuaded her to -relinquish every thought of her treacherous lover. She appeared' particularly comfortable for several weeks, and was introduced as a visitor to many respeelable families. On Monday last she again came there, in order to take the coach and return to her parents, who had been almost inconsolable on account of her absence; but after taking farewell of her liberal benefador and proteCtor, her Mind became agitated, and she went to the garrison to bid a long adieu to him who had been the sole cause of her distress—but being reje&ed, she accidentally met with Colonel Isimm, of the Nirtharopton Militia, who knowing her, offered any pecuniary :.assistance she might require, which she refused, observing Oat " she bad suffir dent to carry her as far as she wished to gO." He then accompanied her back to the town, when she politely thanked him for his kind attention, and wished him. good evening. Suddenly losing sight of her from the Inn door, and hearing her, as he thought, running down the Key-lane; he pursued, but did ,not, overtake her in time to prevent her from throwing herself into the river. The Colonel, however) without hesitation, leaned in after her, but being very dark he could not find her, till a man who vas alarmed by his shrieks went with a candle, and, by the assistance of others, with great difficulty rescued then! 'both from a. wa t ery grave.-  ,Some villains beset, on Sunday evening:, 'about seven o'clock, the house of Mr. KIRKBY, of Finishade, near Stamford ; but, on- being fired at, decamped undiscovered. The• following day a shot was fired at Mr. K. by a fellow out of Clitf Wood. as he was working in his grounds ; but the ball passed through his hat, fortunately, without injuring him. The neighbourhood was immediately alarmed,but the ruffian escaped. A poor man of Duddington, who had joined in the pursuit, armed with an old'rusty sword, happened to fall, when the point entered his body, and occasioned his death °the next day. As Mr.' Stratton was driving his daughter in a gig, on the Miie-end Road, some days since, in attempting to pass between two carts which were moving in opposite diretilions,, he-ran against one of them ; the young Lady was thrown under the feet of the' horses ; but the driver, suddenly stopping 'his horses, prevented them passing over her body. Mr. S. was likewise thrOwu out and severely bruised they are both in a state of recovery.  Some days since as the workmen employed in _ _  founding a house in frown's-buildings, Spitallfields, were regaling and hnzz'aing, as is usualon, laying the  last brick, t1;-e. scaffolding gave way, when one [Ban, named Spurrel, was killed, and five others danger"ously hurt.
