The Tally-ho, a Woolwich op position coach. actuated by that tlarit of rivalry which has of late been fatal to so many live., bad the temerity to pass down Blackheath-hill at full gallop. The coach iu its progress was observed to acquire an undulating motion. and when it arrived about midway down the hill was thrown over with such violence that the aide wos driven iu and broken to pieces by the full. There were in all fifteen passengers, eleven outside and four inside, all of whom, without exception. received serious injury ; an officer from Woolwich, Major M'Cleod, • very tine young men, was one of the greatest sufferers; his ryes are the only part of his face that have escaped injury; little hopes are entertained of his recovery: Not one of the passengers have escaped without broken lege or arms, and several of them. it is much feared, will lose their lives. After the accident happened most of the passengers were conveyed back again to Woolwich, seine on the shoulders of men, and others in caravans. when they ,were immediately attended by four surgeons from the hospital. Another account says, the coach was upset by turning round the corner ut the toZottom of the hill in full speed ; it was dashed in a thousand limes, and it appears that the inside passengers received snore hurt titan the outside ones. Mr. Buxxonaus' benefit on Monday night yielded 4001., ilbe greatest house ever known at the Surrey Theatre. The box lobbies, and all the various avenues, were crowded to excess. No slight proof of the estimation of the actor and the worth of the man.

A curious trial, sumetbing in character with the above, was, on Tuesday, made among that grand assemblage of animals, the Royal Mtuaactlet Exeter 'Change.

Hall, well knowing it to be forged and counterfeit, with intent to defraud his Majesty of the duty thereon. Th e Pri soner , by the advice of his Counsel, pleaded Guilty to the indictment. Mr. kart, who was Counsel for tbe_proseett- Con, said, that in consideration of valuable infor mation given to Government by the Prisoner, which would enable the Government to put a stop to these criminal prectices, he should not call evidence to the capital part of the charge, but he •sislied it to he known, for the information of those who still carried on this trade, that this would be the last instance in winch such an indulgence would be' granted. The Prisoner was then arraigned upon several other indictments, in which the offence was charged capitally, to all which he pleaded No/ Guilty, and no evidence being called, he was acquitted uponT each of them. Jule Holland, bricklayer, aged 44, and William King, aged 52, were capitally indicted for an offence not 6t to be named. The evidence against them fully substantiated the charge, and the Jury, after hearing it summed up by Mr. Justice Barr, immediately found both the Prisoners Guilty. Rosiaa Paris was indicted for stealing in the dwellogwhosse of Mr. William Staff, in the perish of St. Luke, Chelsea, two pair of bracelets, a neck . lace, a piece of' poplin, and other articles. The prisoner lived as servant with the Prosecu tor, and quitted her vituatiou on the 20th of July, and went to live in Downing-street. After she had left, the articles stated in the indictment were dis covered •to be missing, and in consequence Mrs. Staff "mot with an officer.ancl searched the Prisoner's box at. possnitipotreet, when the necklace and other articles were discovered therein, which the Prisoner said was her property, and was given to her by a young man lately dead. The different ar ticles were identi fi ed by 'Mrs. Staff as the property of her husband. The Jury found her Guilty of stealing to the value of 395. - The Prosecutrix recommended her to mercy. Robert Swadliug, a lad of fifteen years of age, was indicted for stealing in the dwelling-house of Thomas Cody 441. in silver coin, the property of the said Thomas Cody. It appeared from the evidence of the son of the Prosecutor, a lad of twelve years of age, th a t he was invited by the Prisoner to steal the money out of the 1104 iu which it was kept, cud was furnished by him with a key for the purpose of opening it. The Prisoner was to wait near the street door for the purpose of receiving the money, but when his young accomplice returned after committing the robbery, he found the Prisoner had gone home to his own house. Mr:Janice BUT, on this evidence, directed the Jury to acquit the Prisoner. It was necessary, in order to convict the Prisoner as a principal, that he should be near enough to render some assistance. The Prisoner was accordingly acquitted, hut was ordered to be detained in custody, to give the Pro secutor so opportunity of going before the'Grend Jury to prefer another indictment in a less penal form. Thomas Brighe, Thomas Gardener, and George Vegiuton, were indicted for assaulting John Harper on the Bth of August, and forcibly taking from his person, in a field near Edgware, five sovereign., 18 shillings in silver, and a pair of shoes. John Harper deposed, that he was a labourer in husbandry, and was at Edgware fsir on the Bth of August: Between four and five o'clock in the af ternoon a . thunder storm coming on, he took shel ter in shay-shed, in which he found the three Pri soners, bud another matt not taken; some conver sation tdnk place; they told him they were quite broke down, end out of work, and one of them offered to sell him a pai r of shoes, which lie ulti mately bought for eighteen-peace. The Prosecu tor afterwards went to drink some beer at one of the booths of the fair, where the Prisoners joined him, and they continued drinking till near ten o'clock, when he pulled out his purse to get change for a sovereign to pay his reckoning; he then quit ted the booth, and having occasion to go into an adjacent field, the three Prisoners sod the other Mon followed, rushed upon him, pinioned his arms. and thrust • Itaudkereltief into his mouth, and haring taken his mosey oat of his pocket, and the shoes which he had previously booght of them, they all ran away ; after having in vain searched fur them in the booths of the fair, he went beck and secreted himself in the hay-shed in which he had first met them; soon after midnight the three Pri. soners came into the hay.shed with three girls of the town ; he remained till daylight, when he went sod procured en officer and look them into custody. On his cross-examination he stated, that he had received the money of Mr. Good, of Okitigion Farm, for cutting twelve acres and a half of beans. Witnesses were called who gave the Prisoner Gardener • good character. The Jury found them •ll guilty, but recom mended theirs to mercy. Mary Gingell, a decent looking young woman, with a child in her arm., wits next placed at the bar, charged with stealing in the dwelling-house of John Prouse, in the perish of St. Pancras, two Bank of England notes of 51. each, sod two rove reigns, his property. . . The Prisoner, it appeared, was a lodger in the house of the Prosecutor. The Prosecutor gave the money and notes in question to his wife, who placed them in • drawer in • bureau in her bed room, from whence she missed them on the 13th of June, at thicb time the Prisoner lodged in her house, but no suspicion at that time attached to her: She quitted on the 2d July, telling the Prosecutor that she was going down to Marlborough. It ap peared that she actually did go there, and paid her fare with one of the five pound notes taken from the Prosecutor. Sbe was subsequently taken into custody in London.

Menthorpe, in the parish of nemingbrough, six guiles east of Selby, in this county. As the servants of Mr. CHAPLIW, thud place, were engaged in stacking oats, they were tad denly surprised by a balloon passing thew, evidently on .its descent, though without any individual in the car, or the appearance of any substitute for its direction. The grapples were . hanging room ti,e - car, but they had been turned the wrong way, sad ; so tied round with cord as to prevent them fro" .4 fastening to any object in their course. HMO although it had repeatedly touched the ground he fore it passed the sleek, it still had as repented's , risen again, like the rising and lowering Same a the nearly-exhausted and dying taper. There were, however, about 50 yards of Cord hanging from the balloon, sod, although greatly surprised by so Dora a sight, yet one of the risen of M. Cnamtiv lame distely ran, sod, seizing hold of it, tied the band firmly round • stoop, by which it was secured. Crowds of people instantly resorted to the place. and conjecture was very .busy respecting das sup posed unhappy fate of the owner, or that haplase adventurer who had presumed to soar io air. and thence to look down with contempt on his more humble brethren. The bslloon, the colour of nlaich is yellow and black, has beers described to as follows :—lt is the size of ••Isay.stack ; the oartioot a pink colour, lined with yellow, and its learlres about six feet.
