About three o'clock in the afternoon of Thursday the 9th he was in Piccadilly, on horseback; the horfe's feet were clofe to the kirb-ftone, standing across the street, near Moorhoufe's livery-ftables. He was in converfation with one of his friends, a Mr. Powell, from Bath, when a poft-chaife drove up, and, though the street was very wide, and no great number of people prefent, the poft-boy rode against Mr. O'Hara's horfe, when the pole going between the horle's hind legs tripped him up with fuch force that Mr. O'Hara was pitched off, and fell with his fide on the kirb-ftone fo forcibly that feveral of his ribs were broken and bent into his body. He languished in great agony until the evening of Sunday the 12th, when he expired, in the 53d year of his age, leaving an amiable wife to deplore Mis unfortunate death. The body appeared very much fwollen. Mr. O'H. was a native of the North of Ireland, and well known in the fporting world, being particularly intimate with fome of the firt cha racters in England and Ireland, amongst whom were their Royal Highneffes the Prince of Wales and Duke of York.

Mr. Sadler, an attorney, from London, on his paffage to Margate in the packet boat. Though repeatedly reminded of the dangerous fituation he had placed himself in, he perfevered in ftanding before the main maft. A friend who accompanied him had juft fpoken to him, and he replied, "Never fear, I will take care of myself;" and at that moment the jib changed its direction, and fwept him into the fea. The waves ran fo high, that though the boat was inftantly launched by the failors, and every exertion made, no perfon could venture into it, as it drove against the veffel in fuch a defperate manner as obliged them to let it go, and it was inftantly dafhed to pieces. Mr. S. fell upon his back, and floated for fome time. It is fuppofed he was ftunned by the blow he received from the j b; but as foon as he recovered, and began to make an exertion, he funk, and was feen no more. Not the leaft fault attaches, but to the unfortunate gentleman, who would not be advised by thofe who faw his danger. His body was picked up on the 15th by a Whitstable drudger, and taken to Whitstable.

He was an excentric character, as he never affociated with, or fpoke to, any perfon, unless he was firft addreffed; was very penurious; had accumulated a confiderable fortune, which he had hid from the fear of invafion; and his death was fuppofed to be occafioned by depriving himself of fufficient nourishment. Mr. Coke always furnished him with proper liveries; but his dress was of the most miferable kind; and he always wore an old painted hat, patched over with pieces of cloth. The liveries he had by him at the time of his death, and which had never been worn, are fuppofed to be worth Jool. He was known among his neighbours by the title of the Walking Ohelisk.

She was feated, about half past one o'clock, at the two pair of flairs back room wine dow, which was open, and looked into the back-yard. Two fervants, belonging to the family faw the deceafed about that time, but obferved no more of her until the fatal accident took place, which was first difcovered by a gentleman (a vifitor), who, being in the hack parlour, waiting the arrival of Mr. Burden, fuddenly heard fomething fall in the back yard, and, going to fee what it was, he beheld the deceafed lying clofe by the wall which divides the next houfe from Mr. Burden's, without figns of life; and, by her near fituation to the wall, the appeared to have fallen with her breast upon it. Two furgeons immediately attended; but she was dead. On examining the hody, no bones were broken, but bruises appeared about the breast, and, on opening oue, fymptoms were obferved about the chest which left no room fo doubt the deceafed came by her death in confequence of the dreadful blow received in her fall. No perfon having been prefent when the fell out of the window, no farther facts of this dreadful accident tranfpired, farther than that the deceafed was stated to be fubject to file, and had been feized with one while lately riding with Mr. Morgan, furgeon, in a fingle-horfe chaife.
