water; it was perfectly calm and a full moon ; when they were about to land, the boatman informed them, that the best place was below the bridge, which they were fast ap: proaching, and where a number of ladies and gentlemen were walking. Before they had entered the arch, one of the ladies (Mrs. Rotherhy, as we understand from the survivors) called out, "There's a rope, there's a rope!" but it was not seen by any other of the party, being in part under the surface of the water. In an instant, all was horror !the moment the boat touched the ropes it was upset! The cries of the unfortunate for assistance, the pushing off of boats from the shore, and the hurry of the good people who were anxious to save them, formed altogether a scene of inexpressible distress. The wretched remains of this late unhappy party are Miss Eliza Shute, Miss Ann, and Mr. Rotherhy, the latter of whom had been twice carried down in supporting his wife, by struggling friends clinging to him, and checking his exertions; he at length got her to the head of the upset boat, but from one of the party again clinging to them, they both suddenly disappeared, and it was long before Mr. Rotherhy rose to the surface, when he again grasped the boat, and was taken up in an almost lifeless state. Miss Ann Shute, after long struggling, reached the boat, and was taken off its bottom; and Miss Eliza was taken from underneath, upon turning up the boat The unpardonable conduct of the person who fastened the fatal rope to the pier, contrary to all rule, and the regulation of the port, never before known to be done, and by which three families have been plunged into the greatest misery, renderit proper that his name should be made public: The Coroner's Inquest, states him to be J. Halford, of Bristol, the pilot who carried the vessel, to which the rope was attached, up the river. The bodies have all been found, and five of them interred at Monkton Combe, that village having been long the residence of the Shute family. The corpses were taken across the Severn to the New Passage, from whence they were conveyed in five hearses to Rath, in order to their being interred in one vault, at Monkton Combe.-Mrs. Rotherhy seems to have had a presentiment of accident: previous to going to the Abbey, she left behind her gold watch, lest (as she said) any thing should happen. In her pocket was found a minute of the text delivered that morning," To die is gain ;" and also a memorandum which she bad entitled "Farewell, Home."

A Gentleman of Reading, it is stated, has discovered a method of making closure bricks, which admit of separation into four parts, without trouble or waste, and with, notwithstanding, the ends square and handsome for work. This is effected by means of a wire, which cuts three fourths through the middle of the brick, after it has been moulded a day or two. The additional expence of dividing is about 2s. per thousand, and the saving in brickwork and labour is very considerable. These bricks are particularly useful for small piers, chimneys, ornamental work, &c.
