MISCELLANEOUS.

John Francis, servant to Henry Ellis, of Shelfanger, was lately convicted before the Rev. George Betts, and paid the full penalty, with costs, for his wilful neglect in driving a waggon against the chaise of Meadows Tailor, Esq. of Diss, whereby Mrs. Tailor was in imminent danger, and the chaise damaged.

A very heavy gale of wind was experienced at Harwich on Wednesday se'nnight. Three ships were lost upon the Gunfleet Sand, viz. the Satisfaction, of Stockton, Apollo of Yarmouth, and Endeavour, of North Shields; all loaded with coals, bound to London. The crews took to their boats and arrived safely on shore.

Sunday last, an inquisition was taken by John Roach, gent. Coroner, on the body of Mary Overton, who was run down by a waggon on the turnpike road leading to Hethersett, which was going at a very moderate rate, when the fore horse started sideways very suddenly, by which she was run down, and the other horses going over her, she was so terribly bruised, that she languished about three hours and expired. - Another inquisition was taken the same day on the body of Ann Watts, who, in turning from Tombland towards St. Peter's Hungate, was met by a small cart, the horse in which had been frightened, and was running furiously, and one of the shafts of the cart struck her so violently in the breast, that she survived but a few minutes. - Verdict, in both cases, accidental death.

None ever shewed more compassion to the distresses of her fellow-creatures than she, by her unabated endeavours to relieve them; with a firm resignation to the will of heaven, she patiently awaited the awful change, and died a true christian.
