A melancholy accident, accompanied with fatal consequences, oc- curred on
Sunday afternoon, at Harlevfbrd, on the Thames, near Mar- low. A boat, in which were Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Thomson and a young gentleman, son of Mr. Wadham Wyndham, who resides in the neigh- bourhood, was unfortunately upset by the force of the current dragging it over the weir, and the party were plunged into time stream below, where it is very deep and troublous. Mrs. Thomson was taken out of the water insensible, after having sank twice, and was, after great exertions, re- stored to life ; but we regret to say that Mr. Thomson and Mr. Wynd- hem sunk to rise no more alive. Their bodies were recovered after same lapse of time, when all attempts to restore animation proved una- vailing. An express reached Mr. Poalett Thomson with the melan- choly intelligence in the course of Sunday night ; when he immediately left town with Mr. Pottlett Scrope, for Court Carden, the seat of his un- fortunate brother.
A fanatical Irishman, residing in the lower part of Lincoln, having conceived an antipathy towards the embedral. has vowed to demolish it ; amid last Saturday morning he cononeneva. I as eaiwr of knight- errantry by smashing forty panes of glass ia one of the Southern side windows. A policeman who was at limed fertunately put an end to the freaks of the madman.—Lincobt Meeeees.
The Manchester market on Tuesday s: ore even a more gloomy ap- pearance than on any of the previous market-days. There was scarcely any demand either for yarn or printing-eletim ; and a fbrther decline of
V. per pound in the former, and :3,1. per piece in the latter. had to be submitted to by all who were able to effect sales. Of course. under these circumstances, the working of short time is extending greatly. There are now, we believe, five mills in Menehester and in the imme- diate neighbourhood entirely standing, mid thirty others working on an average not more than three days a week. Many others in different parts of the neighbourhood ale taking the same course ; and it is cal- culated that the diminution in time coastanption of cotton, from this coarse alone, will amount to upwards ti :i.UOU bags per week, besides a considerable tilling-off arising from the generll. substitution of light for hen vy tiories.—ellanchester Guard/tn.
