It is there stated " That from and after the Ist day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1823, it shall n be lawful for any person to keep or use any cart, van, or other vehicle, without his, her, or their name and address being painted in legible letters, at least an inch in length, on the off-side or shaft of the said cart or other vehicle ; and it i 5 further enacted, that the said name and address shall be paint ed in a straight line or lines, and not in any other shape of form ; and all persons not conforming to the stipulations eon tained therein, upon information being exhibited before any , Magistrate, shall forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding 4Q%• nor less than 10s." The defendants were charged with having their names and address painted on their carts in an oval shape, and not in straight lines, as required by the Act, and one and all were fined in various sums, under forty shillings. DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yestcrday morning' between eight and nine o'clock, a little g irl s named Mary-Ann F e ath er st o ne, seven y ea rs o f age, was run over by a hackney-chariot it' Leather-lane ; the chariot Iva.; turning from Cross-street, Hatton-garden, into the lane, when. the child was passing, who, having a very large bonnet on her, did not perceive the approach of the vehicle; she was knocked down, and the wheels passed over both her legs, which were dreadfully fractured; she was instantly carried to SC .- Bartholomew's Hospital. Not the slightest blame can attach to the coachman, as he was driving at a very steady pace ; and, on the oc , curreuce of the accident, gave every assistance which humanity could dictate. The workmen have commenced their labour ill excavating the bed of the River, for the founda' tion of the intended New London Bridge ; large gun-brig, on board of which is erected steam apparatus, is placed opposite Iron Wharf, Thames-street ; such is the power of the steam in raising the ballast, by means of revolving iron buckets, that three barges were yesterday fillsa in half an hour.
