CAUTION " ..- TO COACHMASTERS, COACHMEN, AND GuAnns.—An Invest was held yesterday, by Mr. HILL, Coroner, at the White Horse, Shipston-upon-Stow, on Mr. J. Richards, of Broseley, aged 70, who on the night of the 21st int. was an outside passenger on the P r i nce o f W a l es stage coach, which runs through Shipston to London. —It appeared in evidence, that the coach changed horses at the 'White Horse, where it took up a gentleman against the consent of the pas sengers, who said the coach was over-loaded. The coachman drove off without the Guard, and when the coach had got about 100 yards from the Inn, he allowed the horses to take too much ground at an angle in the road, called the Horse Shoe Corner, and suddenly pulling them back i n t o the road, put the coach, (which was loaded with 16 passengers, beside luggage on the roof !) on the swill.' ; at this instant th e guar d getting up on the left sid e , contri buted to balance the coach over, and Mr. Richards receiv e d so muc h i n j ur y on t h e h ead and body that he died in consequence on the 28th inst.

On the arrival of Lord and Lady STEWART and their in fant son in the neighbourhood of Stockton,_ on Saturday last, they were met by th e p opu l ace, who took the horses from their carriage and drew it into the town as far as the Red Lion Inn, amidst the loudest cheers. A sailor, with a beautiful white flag, planted himself on the roof of the carriage.

Mrs. Salmon sung delightfully, and was rapturously encored in " From mighty Kings," and Rossini's " Tu die accendi."— Bellamy was never in finer voice, and in Calcott's " Angel of Life" he particularly excelled, and was most deser v edly re warded by the a ppl ause o f the company, at whose desire he repeated the song.—The other performers, both vocal and in strumental, severally acquitted themselves highly to the grati fication of a most respectable audience. NEWPORT, (ISLE OF WIGHT), Aun. 31.—0 n Monday last a sailing match took place between the Pyschc yacht, be longing to Mr. Edward Mew, of this town, and a vessel named the Martha,__ built by Mr. Greni er , of Cross House, near South ampton. The match was for twenty guineas, to sail from the Trinity yacht, in Cowes Roads, round the Nab Light at the east end of the island and back, which was won in style by the Pysche, beating the Martha about eight miles. —The wind was .E. N. E. blowing strong with an ebb tide, so that the vessels haa to. beat up to the Nab. The Pysche per formed the distance in five hours and 50 minutes. The Martha, from her well-known superiority in sailing, was th e f avour i te at starting, and bet s of 6 b 3 1 were offered in her favour. The Pysche was desi g n e d an d b u il t l ast year by Mr. John Bennett, of this town. During the match, Mrs. Jacob, of this place, was k- ()Aced overboard by the boom of a vessel, and must inevitably have been drowned, had not a gentleman jumped overboard and rescued her from her perilous situatiOn.

This vessel is built in a very su perior style, and is peculiar in her construction, both as re gards her hulk and the machinery by which she is to be impel led. Her external appearance is exceedingly handsome, and the cabins are fitted up in a corresponding style of liberality and taste. Notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the wea. ther, the novelty of the scene, and the interest excited in the suc cess of the undertaking, attracted a vast concourse of persons to witness the launch. Before removiflg the stays which secured the vessel to the slip, the ceremony of christening was perform ed by a lady, who threw a bottle of wine at her bow, and she was then ushered upon her native element in the most ma jestic and admirable style. The whole passed off exceedingly well, with the exception of a single accident, and that, we regret to state, was of a serious nature. Previous to the launch taking place, 21 pieces of cannon were fired at intervals. Cuon the commencement of the firing of the second salute, Capt. Sandom observed to the person who was discharging the guns, (and whit we are requested to state was in no wayconnected with the yacht) that from the report they made, he was convinced they were overloaded, and recommend him not to use so much powder. Confident, however, in his own jud gment , h e di sregarded the friendly caution, and the melancholy result was, that on apply. ing the match to the fifth gun it burst, and killed him on the spot.— (Worcester Herald, Sept. 1.) At the late Sailing Match on the river Colne, the silver cup given by the Mayor of Colchester, was won by the Hawk of Brightlingsea, which was presented to the fortunate son of Neptune by Miss Watkinson, accompanied with a complimentary Address, after which the company retired from the marquee to the adjoining green, where the merry dance was led off by the Chief Mai„nstrate and his amiable young relative, ANtnoltg: An Arab goind to cOmprain to guttari of . some depredations committed in hit house by two unknown persons, the Sultan instantly repaired thither, and causing the light to be extin gu ish e d , se i zed the criminals, had thei r heads enveloped in a cloak, and gave orders that they should be stabbed, The execution being thus performed, he ordered the flambeaux brought with him to be again lighted ; and ; having examined the bodies of the criminals, lifted up his hands, and returned thilnks to God. " What faVonr," said the Visier, " have you theft received from Heaven ?"—" Visier," replied the Sultan, " I thought my son had been the Author of these " crimes ; therefore I ordered the lights to be put out, and the " faces of these unhappy *retches td be covered with a cloak. " I was fearful, lest paternal tenderness should induce me to " fail in the justice which I owe to m y subjects, Judge whe " ther I ought not t o t h an k Heaven, when I find myself just, " without taking away the life of my son !" THE LATE KING OF PRUSSIA.--The imperti nence of one of the King's pages was so great, that the King in a passion gave him a box on the ear, and discomposed the dress of his hair. The page immediately turned about to a looking glass, and began to adjust his curls. " Scoundrel cried the King, " what impudence is this ?"—" I should be sorry. Sire, (replied the page) if the people in the anti-chamber • shoUld perceive what has happened between us." The King laughed heartily, wcht away, and left the page in the room. DIOGENES, the Philosopher, seeing the son of a common woman throw stones among a crowd of people, " Take care young man, said he, that you do not kit your father." - BIIASTVAS, the famous Lacedwmonian Gene ral, caught a mouse ; it bit him, and by that means made its escape. " 0, Jupiter !" said he, " what creature so con temptible, but may have its liberty if it will contend for it." Two country Attornies overtaking a waggoner on the road, and thinking to break a joke upon him, asked him, Why his fore horse was so. fat and the rest so lean ? The waggoner, knowing them to be limbs of the law, answered them, that_his fore horse was a lawyer and the rest were his clients. The late Lord CittsrcurrELD happened to be, at a rout in France, where Voltaire was one of the guests.— Chesterfield seemed to be gazing about the brilliant circle of. Ladies, when Voltaire thus accosted him :—" My Lord, I " know you are a judge; which are more beautiful, the Eng " lisle or French Ladies."—' Upon my word,' replied his Lord ship, with his usual presence of mind, •' I am no connoisseur in paintings.'—Some time after this, Voltaire being in Lon don, happened to be at a Nobleman's rout with Lord Chester field. A Lady in company, prodigiously painted, directed her whole discourSe to Voltaire, and entirely engrossed his conver sation. Chesterfield came up, and tapped him on the shoulder, saying, " Sir, take care you are not " captivated"—' 3ly Lord,' replied the French wit, " I scorn to be taken by an English bottom under French colours.' - CLASSICAI„‘NECDOTE.---A Student at one of the Universities being called upon for a definition of the Christian virtues; Faith, Hope, and Ch.erity, made his replies in the following order : Quid est Fides ? Quod non vides. Quid Snes ? I ;ma res. Quid Charitas ? Magna raritas. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TENTERDEN RACES, Trrunspar, Ago. 30. Five Guineas Stakes. Mr. Browne's gr. f. Gift, 3 Irs old Sir J.

It may not'be generally known that the father Of WILLIAM GOSTLING, the antiquary, and author of " Walks in and about Canterbury," was one of the favourites of King CHARLES 11., and remarkable for a fine voice. In allusion to which, the merry Monarch once said, " Talk of your nightingales! I have a Gosling who excels them all." His MAJESTY presented him with a silver egg, filled with guineas, saying, CC I have heard that eggs are good for the voice."
