MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. Mr. Purkis, the oilman of Chancery-lane, has a son who has attained his z6th year, who was born blind. Several occulists in London have been applied to, but they all pronounced it impossible for him to obtain his sight, and the young man was content in his afflicted dark state. He has been brought up to the musical profession, and has attained considerable eminence on the organ and double flageolet.—About two months since, a gentleman from the country saw him, and undertook to procure him his sight. At the first ope- ration, he gaw sufficient with his right eye to distinguish a jug and a candlestick on a table, also a chandelier on a piano-forte but he could not tell what any of them were till he felt them the only thing he found out was the step at his father's door. The gentleman not being in London but for a few days, he went to his residence in the country, where, after three operations, he has obtained his sight in both eyes. He expresses the greatest surprise1 at the difference of faces of persons. He is now at Exeter, where the professors and ama- teurs got up a concert for his benefit last Friday, which was attended by about 500 peasons, to see the wonder. Persons visit him for miles round the country, to hold conversation with him. The body of an interesting young female, dressed in a blue mantle, trimmed with gold lace, was last week picked up in the Paddington canal, by a bricklayer going to work. In her ridicule was found a letter from a female friend, who resides in Sloan-street. It was in consequence of this letter that the body of the deceased was identified, at one o'clock yesterday, by a discon- solate mother. Her name was Sitton, and she served an apprenticeship to a wholesale milliner at the west end of the town, and was lately out of her time. She appeared about 20 years of age, and was in a pregnant state, which probably was the cause of her death. HOAX.—In consequence of rather a large hole being dug, on Tuesday, near the point of junction of Port- land Road and the New Road, Mary-Ie-bone, a report was industriously circulated, that the body of a man, who had shot himself, and respecting whom a verdict oifelo de se had been returned, was to be interred there at eleven o'clock at night. The body was said to be deposited in a neighbouring house, and a most minute statement of the affair was communicated by persons who had it from Qthers, w ho had it from thebest authority, &c. A great crowd assembled, and waited in anxious suspense till a late hour many even remained there a considerable part of the night; but no funeral took place, and great was the disappointment. The hole remained in the same state for some time yesterday, and numerous inquiries were made about it. At length the progress of something towards the spot was an- nounced, and no doubt was entertained that the ex- pected burial was about to be performed. The hopes of the curious throng were, however, again disap- pointed, it being discovered and most clearly proved, that this awful hole was destined to receive neither more nor less than a new Jamp-post. On Thursday last, a couple who had agreed to be married at a church near Lewes, set out from their home," accompanied by the bride's maids, &c. to have the ceremony performed and had actually reached the church-door, when a qualm of conscience, or some other qualm, occasioned the bride to change her mind, and she actually ran off, leaving the disappointed bride- groom, bride's maids, father, parson, and clerk, in a state of utter astonishment. The damsel, however, afterwards attended the altar, and the indissoluble knot was tied 5 since which, we understand, she has become a happy mother It is a matter of much and solid satisfaction to the army at large, that the Secretary at War has alotted in his department a specific part of the same to the consi- deration and care of the recruiting service. Some circumstances which lately appeared at Courts-Martial, in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, wherein it was proved that recruits were defrauded of their bounty, C, have occasioned this regulation; and we anticipate that infinite advantage will result, not merely to the indivi- dual, but to the service at large, by thus checking this spirit of mean and avaricious aggrandizement that has so long prwailed among that rank of men, who turn the recruiting service into a system of seif-opulence, to the injury of the public, and to the distress <md harm of the poor and friendless recruit. ie. Major Hedley, of the Northumberland Regiment of Militia, on whom a General Court Martial was held a few days ago at Norman cross Barracks, on charges preferred against him by I.ieutenant-Colonel Coulson, belonging to the said regiment of Militia, has been sentenced by the Court to be dismissed that service which sentence His Majesty has been pleased to ap. prove and confirm. Orders were issued on Thursday from the Adjutant- General's Office, for the general leave of absence for the officers and men of the Militia, to commence fioni the 14th Oct. and to continue till the 10th March the officers absent not to exceed one-third, and the pri- vates not more than ten from each company. At the assizes for the Inverness circuit, Alexander Gillan, accused of ravishing and murdering Elspet Lamb, a child of eleven years of age, was found guilty, and sentenced to be executed on the 14th November next, on the moor near where the body of the said Elspet Lamb was found, and his body afterwards hung in chains. This was the most atrocious case that ever came before a court of justice. James Martin, now under sentence of transportation in Chester gaol, was recognized there on Sunday by a Mr. Finin, who had been swindled out of a sum of money, by the prisoner, and who had in vain endea- voured to apprehend him. On Finin's challenging the prisoner with thus cheating him, he frankly acknow- ledged the fact, and with the utmost sangfroid, ob- served, that he would pay him on bis return from tratisportation The following melancholy and unhappy catastrophe occurred at Lewes last week :-On Tuesday, between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening, a private of the 37th Infantry, stationed in the barracks, named Homer was shot by John Carter, a labourer in the service of T. Tourie, Esq. as he was crossing a potatoe plot, on Landport-lane, near that town. The poor fellow lan- guished ifi extreme agony, until neon the next day, when he expired, aged 28 years. At ten o'clock on Thursday, the Coroner's Jury assembled at the Black Horse, and from thence proceeded to the Barrack. Hospital, to take a view of the body, the Regimental Surgeon being there in attendance for the purpose of dissecting it. The reins exhibited sixteen distinct and deep wounds, the effects of the deadly shot, which on laying open the abdomen, were found to be pieces of cut lead, of various dimensions, and which had not only perforated both lobes of the lungs and the liver, but also miserably lacerated the left kidney and seve- ral were taken from the thorax, sticking to the ribs. It afterwards came out in evidence, that the deceased, and two of his comrades, having unfortunately tres- passed on the plantation referred to (w hieh is in an. open lane) were taken for depredators, put to flight, pursued, and rashly shot at by two persons, armed with horse pistol, who, with five others, had been ordered to watch the potatoes. One of the soldiers wholly escaped, but the other, after being fired at without injury, was seized. It further appeared, that Carter, after he had shot Homer, went up to him, Men the unhappy sufferer exclaimed, « You have jig me bitterly turned sick, and fell upon his. e, in which situation his assailant left him, and joined in the pursuit of the other two. The wounded man contrived to crawl some distance, where he would have remained and died, had not his groans brought a drummer of the regiment to his assistance, who drag- ged him to one of the huts near the barracks, where he received all the medical aid that could be afforded him. After an investigation of six hours, the Jury re- turned their verdict-Homicide by Misadventure and Carter, on Saturday, was committed by the Coroner to Horsham gaol, for trial at the next assizes, till when, notwithstanding the above verdict, the sature of the indictment that will be preferred againstiura, cannot be known. ■ The remains of the deceased, who bore a most ex- cellent character in the regiment, were interred with military honours on Thursday evening. Mr. Tourle had been from home for a fortnight previous to the above unfortunate transaction and did not return till the evening after the unhappy event; and although from the vicinity of his land to the barracks, he has been subject to repeated depreda- tions, he never sanctioned his men in the use of fire. arms. The following melancholy instance of the narcotic effects of the berries of the yew tree, may serve as a useful caution to the parents and guardians of chil- dren On Tuesday se'nnight a child in Garragh, Ire- land, two and a half years old, hitherto in good health, swallowed a number of tie berries that had fallen froci a yew tree which are unusually abundant this year, and in a very short time after was seized with exces- sive sickness and violent vomiting, and about an hour after was covered-with colliquative sweat, with pulse so low and freqnent, that it could not be measured. In a few minutes after, the child expired without being considerably affected with spasm. The stomach in a short time after became very much swollen and tense. Sunday se'nnight, William Webster, a voung man in the service of Walter Smythe, Esq. of Bambridge, being inja'frenzy fever, got to the window of his apart- ment, in the absence of the person appointed to attend him, threw up the sash, and jumped out, at the height of fifty-four feet from the ground. He alighted on his feet, on a gravel walk, and, wonderful to relate, had not a bone broken, but was most dreadfully shaken. He was conveyed to his bed, where he languished till Tuesday morning, and then expired. A Mr. Gibbon undertook on Tuesday, for a bet of 100 guineas. t) go on foot from Hammersmith tJ Bath, and return in 72 hours, the distance being 206 miles. He started at six o'clock ,.n Tuesday morning: had gone 32 miles at eleven o'clock, and was at the 40 mile stone at two. At ten o'clock on Thursday morn- ing, he had reached Fifield, near Marlborough, on his return and had then to perform 72 miles in 16 hours but in the evening, at Maidenhead Thicket, the pe- destrian was compelled to give in, with a frame ¡JUd1 debilitated, and with legs as big as thighs. He had only 25 miles to perform in ten hours when he r signed. i Sixty pounds was hst week paid at Plymouth for a substitute for the militia. One man went on coussde-' of receiving is. per day during the war j and another sold for is. 3d. per lb.
