MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE: On the forenoon of Monday last, while Captain John Townshend, R.N., with Captain Seymour, were shooting over the lands of Polwhilly, and when about to cross a march ditch, Captain Townshend slipt his foot into a "blind hole" of some depth. Having lost his balance, and being half twisted round, one of the barrels of his fowling-piece undortunately went off, and we deeply regret to add, the contents were lodged in the neck of James Wylie, hamekeeper at Cumloden, who happened to be standing immediately behind the Captain. Wylie fell, uttered a short exclamation, and almost instantly expired. The distress of Captain Townshend and his party at this terrible occurrence can scarcely be descibed. The unfortunate man's corpse was immediately conveyed to his residence, and an official inquiry instituted into the circumstances, the result of which we have reason to believe has been to show, that no want of care is attributable to the Captain, who is an old and experienced sportsman. Wylie was a young man, about a year married, a very exemplary character, and much esteemed by the Earl of Galloway, his employer, and by all who knew him. - Dumfries Herald.

EXECUTION OF THOMAS LEITH: (abbreviated)... The Rev. Mr. Renton then asked the culprit if he was guilty or not guilty? He, laying his right hand on his heart, said, with a firm voice, "I am not guilty." The executioner then advanced and adjusted the rope and drew the while cap over his eyes. The culprit then exclaimed five or six times in a most fervent and supplicatory tine "O! jesus, Jesus, save me by thy blood!" Amid these ejectulations, the drop fell. As the length of rope was not much above two feet, the culprit appeared to suffer a good deal. At 9 o'clock the body was cut down and shortly afterwards interred within the precincts of the gaol. Thomas Leith was a man apparently about 40 years of age, about five feet six inches high, rather dark in the complexion, his physiognomy resembling not a little that of the Italian... he was come of very poor parentage, and after the death of his father (who was a miller by trade) which must have been while he was very young, his widowed mother begged her bread from door to door with Thomas on her back. As soon as he was able to work, he learned the tailro trade, which he seems to have altogether deserted although he attached to it some auxillaries... When he attained what is commonly termed the years of discretion (about 20) he married Ann Welsh (the poisoned victim), daughter of a very respectable working man... by Ann Welsh, Thomas had twelve children, six of whom are now alive, the oldest being 19 years of age, while the youngest is from three to four...after accumulating a small trifle of money, he settled down in the Hawkhill, where he opened a small shop in the furnishing line. Thence he removed about the year 1832 to a more extensive establishment at the West Port, where he continued ever to drive a lucrative business. By a life of industry and frugality, and a careful abstinence from all intoxicating liquors, Leith succeeded in gathering a considerable sum of money whereby he was enabled to purchase several properties... the rents he derived from these, and the profits of his own business, allowed him to live in very easy circumstances, and it is said that he must have been worth nearly £1,000... in religious matters, he was at one time an admirer of John Wesley, whose principles of Methidism he professed... - From the Second Edition of the Dundee Advertiser of Tuesday.

Accompanied by his younger brother and another boy, he had gone in search of haws. They had not proceeded far from the village, when they came to a hawthorn near a dyke about 4 feet in height, upon which he mounted, and seized upon a small twig, which, in endeavouring to pull towards him, gave away, whereby he lost his balance, and falling backwards off the dyke, his head struck upon a stone. As he made no cry, nor gave other symptoms of pain, his companion who immediately came to his assistance, thought he was unhurt, but finding every inducement to make him speak unavailing, they became frightened. One of them ran to a byre near at hand, where he gave the alarm to a dairymaid, who immediately hurried to the spot, and found life was fast ebbing, for although he had turned on his hands and kneews, two faint breathings were the only sypmtoms of life he ever gave. - Dumfries Courier.

FATAL ACCIDENT - TWO MEN DROWNED: (abbreviated). We regret to state that an accident of a very melancholy nature occurred here on Monday night last, whereby two men, named John Robertson and John Clark, postillions in the employment of Mr. Gibb, were drowned. They had been posting throughout the day, and had returned to Stirling from Ardoch about eight o'clock in the evening, entering the town by the old bridge, for the purpose of washing their horses feet at a part of the river immediately adjoining it - a spot which, although extremely dangerous, is often resorted to for that purpose... the river was greatly flooded... Clark is supposed to belong to about Aberdeen, having only lately entered into the service of Mr. Gibb. Robertson, who was a most steady, sober, and industrious man, belonged to this town. He had been in the service of Mr. gibb and his father for upwards of thirty years, and was much respected by them as a trustworthy servant. We regret to say that he has left a widow and six young children to deplore his loss. - Stirling Journal.

As the deceased had for some time past been too often under the influence of ardent spirits, though he had been at work through the day, there is reason to believe he was under their influence when he met with the accident, and that it may be ascribed to the effects of intemperance. - Fifeshire Journal.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT: On Thursday, a coach driver named Alexander Scott, while placing some luggage on the top of the stage coach at Hawick, preparatory to starting for Edinburgh, had his foot entangled in the reins and fell between the coach and horses.

On reaching home he became worse, and died early on Sunday morning from the inward bruises he had received. [01]
MR THOMAS SPARK: We deeply regret to have to announce the death of this gentleman, who died suddenly on Monday evening week. For many years he was a pretty regular contributor to the Aberdeen Chronicle, and in 1829, he, in conjunction with Mr. Duncan, started the Observer. In 1837 the Observer was merged in the Constititional, but for nearly a year previously, Mr Spark had broken off his connection with the press, and devoted himself, almost exclusively, to the prosecution of his own business. He had read much, and had a most retentive memory, which, with a great facility in composition, gave him a considerable advantage in controversy, particularly when sharp-shooting was required. In all his social relations Mr. Spark stood high, and his death will be long and deeply lamented by his family and friends. - Aberdeen Herald.
