tacked the other, and thus re- 

 gained possession of the ship, 

 which has passed Dover, on her 

 waj' to Standgate- creek, whence 

 tlie murderers will be brought in 

 custody to London . 



At Devonton colliery, in con- 

 sequence of the rope being by ac- 

 cident thrown off the puUy of the 

 fly-jack, as the tub was descend- 

 ing, its contents, consisting of 

 four persons, a husband and wife, 

 a father and daughter, were 

 thrown to a great distance. The 

 young woman was killed oi\ the 

 spot, the two men died a few 

 hours after the accident, and the 

 wife was so severely injured that 

 her life is still despaired of. 



10. Munich. — The Atheneum 

 which has been founded here by 

 Professor Thiersch, for the edu- 

 cation of young Greeks, goes on 

 successfully. There are already 

 young men there from Greece 

 Proper, from the Islands, Asia, 

 Moldavia, and AV'^allachia ; among 

 them are the sons of the first fa- 

 milies 3 for example, a nephew 

 of Archbishoj) Ignatio, a grand- 

 son of the late Prince of Molda- 

 via, thiee brothers of the illus- 

 trious name of Conmeni, whose 

 family have retired within these 

 few years frem the Archipelago 

 to Taganrok, on the Don. 



11. Dover. — Yesterday morn- 

 ing the wind blew uncommonly 

 hard from the w estward, with a 

 very heavy sea running in the off- 

 ing, in which a boat called the 

 Po, belonging to the south end 

 of Deal, was lying to, waiting 

 for ships coming up Channel, 

 when, about 10 o'clock, a heavy 

 sea took her on her broadside, and 

 the ballast rolling forward, she 

 went down stern-foremost, with 



six men on board. Tlie moment 

 the accident was observed from 

 hence, several intrepid boatmen 

 lost no time in puttingoff to their 

 assistance, and happily succeeded, 

 although the accident took place 

 at the distance of more than two 

 miles from the shore, in rescuing 

 fo\ir j)ersons from a watei-y grave, 

 whose names .are Geo. Jarman, 

 Solomon Walker, James Tomlin, 

 and James Agar, who had clung 

 to the oars and spars : the two 

 other persons who composed the 

 crew, viz. John Lambert and 

 Matson Terry, being so exliausted 

 with wet and" cold, could not 

 keep their hold till the boat reach-' 

 ed them, were unfortunately 

 drowned, one leaving a wife and 

 child. Too much praise cannot 

 be given to our boatmen for the 

 alacrity with which they went off 

 to rescue their fellow-creatuies 

 from death. A liberal suliscrip- 

 tion has been opened for the un- 

 fortunate sufferers, which we 

 hope will be extended to the boat- 

 men who were so zealous in risk- 

 ing their own lives. 



13. In the evening about seven 

 o'clock, as a party of 14 persons 

 were returning in a boat th]'ough 

 Rochester-bridge, it was unfor- 

 tunately upset, and every soul 

 perished. 



The persons composing this 

 truly distressing scene had been, 

 early in the afternoon, to Wuuld- 

 ham, a little village between this 

 place and Maiilstone, to take 

 tea, and on tlieir return were to 

 have partaken of a little treat in 

 connnemoration of the birth-day 

 of a Mr. Gilbert, who then com- 

 pleted his 'ilst year. They were 

 accompanied by one of the most 

 skilful and sober watermen on
