CHIRP JUSTICR ABBOTT ) LIABILITY OF COACH PROPRIETORS. MARSH V. HORN. The Plaintiff, a silk merchant, at Bath, brought this action against the proprietor of a coach, called the " Night Regulator," to recover the value of a parcel, alleged to have been lost or stolen out of the said coach, in consequence of the negligence of the Defendant's servants. It appeared that Mr, Marsh bad purchased. silk of a manufacturer in Spital Eields, which on the 231 of January last, was taken in two parcels to the Cross Keys, Wood Street, for conveyance to the Plaintiff at Bath. When the coach reached itiewbury, it app. ared that one of the par cels bad been stolen, and as the Defendant would not be answerable, the present action was brought. The defence was, that the parcel had not been paid for, as being above the value of 5!., and consequently that the Defendant acting upon a notice in his Coach Office, was not liable. The Jury, in answer toquestions left for their considera tion by the divine. said they were of opinion the Defend• ant had made himself liable for the loss, and that the risk was, not more than a common risk. They were then directed to find a verdict for the Plaintiff. The verdict was ucordingly given for the Plaintiff;—Ds. wages 1341. lbs. —Costs. 40s. MOUNSULL V. TITCHCN. The early part of the day was occupied in hearing a case of furious driving.

The defendant's cart, a milk cart, cuminz from London at a furious rate on the same side, came into contact with the r horse of the plaintiff; .the shaft pierced -the horse's side ; the plaintiff was thrown to the around, his , leg fractared ; the horse died on the spot t the pliintiff was confined in the Jegdortilospital fur 14 weeks ; the horse was estimated at 204 and the the in trade rated at 51 a week. l'lre'iltiltof the plattitlffsit sapported by disinterested and consistent evidence. :114 witnesses for die defence centradictid the preceding wasimony, nail soloseqsandi their own.. • •:'4lts Loop. ligr vets brig ' , stated the nature of she goes tiato eo tried to the fteep,..ittl=t i rr a short consultation, idea-tared • 'cilia ISt this p . ...Damages IND. with costs. . . , . : .

Wexemtio, Dec. 27.—MELANCHOLT Occunitexca.—On Wednesday evening, a melancholy accident occurred near ltatbaspecic, occasioned by a horse which took fright and ran away with a car, oa which were a young man of the name of Fortune. about .eikltteen years of age, and three young women. two of them his sisters. The young man man was thrown to the ground with violence, and one of the wheels passed ovei his body, so as to cause almost im mediate death. About fifteen minutes after, the body wes examined by Mr. Nicholas Devereuv, who said his death was canoed' by a rupture of the aorta. An Inquest was held upon the body by Willinsderff Richards, and John Harvey, Esqrs.—Verdict " Accidental Death." One of the nnfortunate youth's sisters was dreadfully injured by baying been also dashed upon the road. She was taken op ins state of insensibility and conveyed to a neighbouring house, where she lies dangerously ill. To add another pang to the painful sen-rations which this melancholy cir cumstance is calculated to produce, and to furnish an addi: tiooal proof of the mutability and uncertainty of sublunary things. we understand that the party, who were proceeding house to Oainatown, when the accident happened, had bees in town purchasing wedding dresses for the young woman alinded to, now not expected to recover ;—(Warford Bop ra ) Charles Dickson, Serjeant of Police, has been committed to the County Kilkenny Oaol for stabbing, while com manding a party, Petrick Bayly, on the night of the fair of Fresliford.—Bayley is in a fair way of recovery. Oa Christmas Day, eye children, of the several ages of , Eve to ten years, procsred a horse and car to jaunt 013 the roads in the vicinity of Arles, in the Queen's County. The horse having turned to drink to a pool of water, which bad accumulated by the late" rains, upset the car and im'rnerged Out innocents thereunder. No assistance being near at band, four of them were drowned.—Tbe oldest was taken out with the vital spark just perceptible, but his re covery is doubtful. • TM:NMI STORY AT WATIRPORDe..-Sunday evenings furious storm of thunders lightning, wind, and rain, cow mewed a little after nine o'clock, and continued Dearly swell day NO% beet day. The storm was most Biamistilinill, toesardoegam'elook. Almost the entire of the gamy sad River Watch suffered a temporary blindness, front the effects of the unusually vivid lightning. One of them, WUHAN' Millrath, stationed just east of the bridge, had his po's driven from kis hand several feet away, was totally blind for about fifteen minutes, partially so until next morning, and complains still of pains in the corners of his eyes.— Effects nearly similar were experienced at Dunmore East, the mouth of this harbour.—(Waterford Mirror.) The new year was ushered is thin morning in the osoid style, and with folly the usual vivacity. The city clocks ' bad no sooner struck twelve than the streets were throng ed with a crowd of old and young, male and female,. /shouting, singing . and hurrying to the houses of their Mewls and acquamtances. As soon as they had gained admittance, there was a friendly interchange of Whisky. bread and cheese, current buns, and many fervent wishes of " a gude new year and many happy returns o' the season." ' This scene of noise, boisterous mirth, and dissipation, continued till nearly five o'clock, - when the more prudent part had retired to their beds, while the admirers of spirits had mostly got drunk, and were enjoying nature's kind restorer, balmy sleep, on beds, floors. is staircases or closes, jut as• circumstances would allow. As usual, a number of petty brawls ensiled in the streets, but upon the whole, fewer scenes of outrage took place than for a number of years. —(Glasgow Chronicle.) The French Police is very vigilant in intercepting all private le.ters from suspected quarters or from suspected persons. Some little time ago the Police intercepted a letter from a celebrated seven, who was known to he a great Bonapartist. The letter was laid before the French Minister of the Interior, and by him shown to all his ministerial colleagues and coadjutors. What to make of the letter none of them could tell. they read and conned the strange epistle till they could repeat it almost by heart. Some declared that it was absolute nonsense, others laughed at it heartily, whilst the sagacious shrugged up his shoulders, and swore, par bleu, there was more in it than met the eye, though what that more was, neither he nor- his official friends could give the least idea of. At length, after three conferences, they came to to a resolution that the letter was either a hoax, or that its author, the learned Monsieur —, had taken leave of His senses ; much learning, as Felix observed to St. Paul, being apt to make men mad. At length the suspicion of madness against the author was pronounced to be unques. jumble, and the letter being considered harmless it was sealed up and again put into the post to travel to its plat* o destination. The passage of the letter which had thus puzzled all the learned Thebens of th'e French Cabinet was as follows: —" but I must be implicitly obeyed, or my whole plan and contrivance will be destroyed—the River Thames is ridicu lously small, I will have it increased to twice, its size—but the English Channel may reveal') as it Is—the capital of Persia Is inconveniently situated, I desire yon to remove it 30 leagues to the South East—l think the Bay of Naples by ter too large, reduce its dimensions, and scatter the Alps more towards the centre. they at present lie too close, and are , moreover to. high.

AFFLICTING ACCIDENT.—On Monday last a very me, lancholy occurrence took place at Oak Lawn, Surrey, the seat of Edward Morley, Esq . . Amongst a number of friends who were enjoying. winter sports at o.ik Lawn, was Captain T. Morley, formerly of the Honourable East India Company's Artillery, who had arrived in England only a few days previous. Captain Morley is, in.. parties. lady fond of field sports, was highly delighted with the well kept covers of his brother's estate, and sported every morning; on Monday last he was shooting a new cover, in company with his nephew, a lad of sixteen years old ; the enclosere being. very close, Captain Morley recommended the young gentleman to keep in the rear, and not to fire until' the birds had risen above the quickset badge, which divided . them. Two cocks starting soon after, the nephew anfoetunat-ly neglected this caution and fired, when Capt. Morley, who stab them not twenty yards distant, received nearly the eatife . charge in his right shoulder, and fell, ex* claiming "Oh ! George, lam shut." T he young gentle man, overhearing the exclamation, sprung over the Isedvs and- found his uncle lying on the ground in great agony ; assistance was instantly procured, and the wound was ex• amined by Surgeon Waller, who happened to be then ou a visit at the boase:the greater part of the shot was extract' ed ; but from the torn state of the surrounding flesh, and a (*Ojai fracture of the bone, it is presumed that antpa!ation will be necessary to ensure the gentleman's recovery. ALARMING OCCURRRNcs.—EarIy on the morning cf Thursday tait, whilst Moses Hodgson, of H.tllguards, was asleep at the Bush inn, Brampton, he arose from his bed and precipitated himself out of the window, three stories high. Some persons returning soon after from the Metho dists' Chapel, discovered the unfortunate man laying on the pavement in a helpless state, and immediately gave as alarm, when he was removed to his quarters, and medical assistance promptly procured.—On examination it was found that Ire was not much bruised, and that none of his bones were fractured. A few hours after the accident he wts taken to Iris own residence, and it is fully expected be will recover.—(Carlisle Jourall.) Yesterday se'noight, as ono of the Manchester coaches, on its way from thence to this town, was passing along the bridge over the goit at Kirkstall, the hind seat suddenly gave way. and with its full complement of pass , •niers dropped on the road. Two tnen te,•eived rather severe con tusions. one on the back, the other on the shoulder. After a short pause, however, being' accommodated nitla seats at well as eucuinstances would admit, they proceeded oa their journey.—(Leeds Alercury) An explosion of gas took place yesterday morning,ll the shop of a spirit dealer in the Canongat•, which di4 considerable damage to the windows, the floor, and gu.sls of the shop. The tubes conveying the gas inside of the shop hall been faulty, and the gas accumulated below the floor. The shopm akincautiously applied a light, througts a bole in the door, to the place where the leak io the tube had been, and the whole became instantly ignited.
