the other man, animated with the spirit of a true British tar, caught the child in his arms, and, at the almost certain risk of his life (being upwards of two miles from the shore), plunged into the sea: most fortunately a boat, with some gentlemen in it fishing, happened to be in sight, and came to the assistance of the brave fellow in time to save him and his charge. His boat, the produce of his meritorious carnings in the navy, was totally lost. And here again we have a striking instance of the British character: a subscription was set on foot at Harvey's Library, which produced nearly twenty pounds in about as many hours. Leeds, July 9. The following awful in stance of sudden death occurred on Thursday last, on the race-ground near Carlisle: A person of the name of Joshua Norman, an inhabitant of Penrith, who used to travel the country, attending horse-racing, &c. was offered three tankards of ale by an acquaintance, on condition that he should drink them off at three draughts, otherwise he (Norman) should pay for them. The offer was accordingly accepted; and Norman, after drinking the last tankard, walked off apparently in good health; but was shortly after discovered in one of the tents, with his head reclined upon a table quite dead. A coroner's jury sat upon the body the same evening, and brought in their verdict-Died by the visitation of God. London, July 9. The committee on the Middlesex election terminated their labours on Saturday afternoon, and lord Marsham, as chairman, will make his report to the house this day. The charge of treating, preferred by sir Francis Burdett against Mr. Mainwaring, has been substantiated; in consequence of which the late election is declared void, and a new writ will be moved for in a day or two. The charge of treating being proved against Mr. Mainwaring, disqualifies him from offering himself again as candidate during the present parliament. London, July 10. By the New-York papers to the 27th of May, accounts are received respecting St. Domingo, which we hope are unfounded. It is affirmed, that on the 20th of April the blacks began an indiscriminate massacre of all the whites at Cape François, sparing not even the women and children. An embargo was laid on the American ships in the harbour during this horrible work, which lasted three days and nights; and it had not been taken off at the date of the last advices, the 29th of April. We are very desirous of disbelieving this intelligence, which, we think, might have come from Jamaica direct to this country in the time, though we do not recollect any advices from Jamaica of a later date than the 24th of April. Dublin, July 17. It is now certain that several known traitors have lately re turned to Ireland from France; and that M'Cabe in particular, a person of great address and importance, having been aid de-camp to lord Edward Fitzgerald, and employed on distinguished treasonable missions, has been seen about the country. Government have advertised a large reward for his apprehension, as we have lately stated; but he is singularly dexterous in evading pursuit. Several trees have been lately cut down on lord Charlemont's estate, with the design of making pike-handles, as it is supposed The present calm is thought to be a very deceitful one. Women are employed ge nerally as the emissaries between the dif ferent parties of the disaffected. The camp on the Curragh of Kildare, it is thought, will amount to 24,000 men. On Saturday night, 14th July, the anniver sary of the French Revolution, Dublin exhibited strong symptoms of uneasiness, The yeomanry were at the alarm-posts, and the garrison under arms. There was reason to fear that rebellion would break out on that day; and strong apprehensions are entertained that it will be attempted this week, that is, on or before the 23d, the anniversary of the last insurrection. Assistance is eagerly looked for from Brest, where, we are informed by the French papers, general Augereau and admiral Gantheaume have an arma ment in readiness. London, July 17. A most shocking ae cident happened this morning at MileEnd, New Town. At half past six o'clock the foundation of two houses, filled with poor families, amounting to upwards of thirty persons, gave way, and they tum bied in upon the wretched inhabitants. At ten o'clock this morning, three coachJoads of the sufferers, who had been dug out much maimed and mangled, had been sent to the London Hospital; and workmen were proceeding rapidly to come at the rest. One woman who had just lainin of twins has not yet been found. The volunteers are out guarding the premises, and the whole neighbourhood is in a state of great agitation. A stable adjoining fell in also, and some horses have been buried in the ruins: they have not yet been searched for. BIRTHS.. June 20. The lady of the rev.
