ROBINSON'S' PATENT BARLEY, AND PATENT GROATS, recommended by the Faculty. Patronized by the Queen and Royal Family. The attention of Mothers, (especially during the period of nursing.) Invalids, and Families is particularly called to the above Patent Articles, being the purest Farime of the Oat and Barley ever produced, deprived of their fermentative properties by a steam process. ROBINSON'S PATENT BARLEY cannot be equalled by any article for making pure Barley Water in a few minutes : all impurities being rejected, it is rendered more palatable than Barley Water made with Pearl Barley. It is an excel lent adjunct with milk for the breakfast table, highly useful for culinary purposes, light suppers, making delicious pud dings, thickening soups, also with the addition of lemon juice and sweetened, forms a most grateful beverage.

THE accounts lately received from Macao, brought intelli gence of the English having been totally expelled from China, and _that hostilities had actually commenced between Her Majesty's forces, directed by her Superintendent in person; and Chinese men of war; in other words, China is at war with England. And the questions upon which the. two countries are now at issue being of such difficult adjust ment as to render it almost impossible, and certainly impro bable, that any more teas can be obtained from China for a very considerable period, a great rise in all descriptions of that article has taken place. Since June last, common black teas have risen ls. 9d., and fine green, 3s. per lb. Fine Hyson, with duty, fetched at the late public sales, 9s. 7d. per lb. ; fine black teas as high as 6s. 7d., whilst up to this mo ment, Captain Pidding has continued to allow his teas to be sold without any advance whatever. The late great rise, however, having caused a run upon his teas by the trade, who found that they could purchase them cheaper retail than they could buy inferior teas wholesale, he is compelled to raise the price, to prevent his remaining stock being purchased by tea dealers. For the present, Captain Pidding's How- QUA'S MIXTURE will be sold at the rate of 6s. 9d. ner lb., being 9s. the catty, or an advance of only 9d. per lb., when the commonest teas, since June, have advanced Is. 9d. per lb. HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER Will he sold, for the p resent, at 9s. 9d. per lb., when ev en H yson, an inferior tea, is fetching, wholesale, 9s. 7d. per lb. Half and quarter catties in like proportions. Captain Pidding thinks it right to inform the public that his Chinese correspondent states confidently, that there is no probability of the trade opening with that country, for, at the least, twelve months ; and as the enti re stock of consumable tea in Great Britain will be exhausted before that period, there is little doubt but tea will advance daily. These Teas consist of Captain Pidding's HOWQUA'S MIXTURE, of 40 rare Black Teas, and HOWQUA'S SMALL LEAF GUNPOWDER,in Chinese Catty Packages. N.B.—The signature of " Captain JOHN RHODES PID DING" is upon every genuine package. GEO. CARLYLE, Repository, 38, 80ld -street, Sole Agent for LIVERPOOL. Bolton ...... G. J. French, Silk Mercer.

GRIMSTONE'S CELEBRATED EYE SNUFF, Under the patronage of 418 late Majesty, her Royal High ness the Duchess of Kent, and the Lords githcTreasury,) IS universally recommended by the Faculty f o r it s e ffi cacy .I. in removing Disorders incident to the Eyes and Head. It will prevent Diseases of g Scrofulous Nature affecting the Nerves of the Head. .In cases of Nervous Head-ache it is completely efficacious, and gives a Natural Sweetness to the Breath. It may be taken as frequently as, other Snuffs, with the most perfect safety and gratification to the consumer. Wash the eyes every morning with warm milk and water, to remove whatever secretion may have been produced during the night. Dr. ' ABERNUHY used it, and termed it the Faculty's Friend and Nurse's Vade Mecum. Dr. ANDREWS also recommends its use as a preventive. (See his report when in Sunderland, published in th e Ti mes , Cheltenham Journal, and British Traveller, in Nov. 1831.) He sayS. " the herbaceous quality of the snuff had such effect on the stomach, as well as the nerves of the head, from the .tenacious sympathy of the, membrane of the nose with the nervous system, that Grimstone's Eye Snuff, when taken frequently, must prevent any contagion entering the system, and recommends its universal adoption.

But read the following : From the John Bull, 6th May, 1839.—We copy the fol lowing from the Cheltenham Journal, being struck by its re ference to that eminent and successful oculist, James Ware, Esq., F.R.S., whose opinion touching the subject of which he treats will be read with interest. The discovery of Mr. Grimstone is simple, gentle, and certain, and by its unfailing influence on the nervous fabric of the head, possesses the un questionable power of relieving, assisting, and prolonging the sight even to extreme old age.—Editor. Cheltenham Journal, 22d April, 1839.—" That most emi _ _ nent oculist, James Ware, Esq., was so strongly itn- pressed with the utility of snuff not made of tobacco, That in the third volume of the Medical SOc.ety's Works, page 334, this able oculist read several cases of gutta serene cured by the plentiful use of snuff. This snuff was made without the aid of tobacco, that being too great a narcotic to be used as a remedy. The anticipations of this gentlemen have been fully realised by Mr. William Grinistone, the Inventor of Eye Snuff, made from aromatic herbs, so judiciously ar ranged as in almost every case of disease touching the eye, ear, and the delicate organs of the head, to produce a certain cure."—Editor. " There are, perhaps, few articles which are so universally used as snuff, and various and innumerable have been the devices to tickle our noses at the expense of our pockets, but there is only one snuff—albeit many have been attempted— which has proved of any value, or indeed realised the inten tion of the consumers. Grirostone's Eye Snuff is a delightful and fragrant compound, and possesses properties peculiarly its own; for, unlike all other snuffs, it' is really of essential and important service to persons of studious habits, and of weak and infirm sight ; and if we may judge by the numerous medical gentlemen who have borne testimony to its merits, and the many well authenticated puree it has performed, it is not undeserving of the high esteem which it has already attained, not only in this but in other countries."—Old Eng land, 11th January, 1840. "We should be glad to see this snuff in general use. It is a safe and powerful restorative.,—Manchester Chronicle. . " GRIMSTONE'S EYE SNUYl l % — Notwithstanding the sys tem of puffing which is carried on in this.vast metropolis, we rsally must claim for Mr. Grimstone the distinction of being a benefactor to his species. We have had' cular demonstra tion of the value of his snuff, which we tried out of curiosity, having at the same time a slight affection of opthalmia, which the use of the snuff very speedily removed. We therefore cordially recommend it to the public."—Crown, Aug. 26,1838. " If any testimony were wanting to prove the efficacy of Grimstone's . Eye Snuff, we should be most happy to throw ours into the grand scale of demonstrations and proofs already possessed by the inventor. Literary men, and individuals accustomed to sedentary habits . or 'mg reading, will find this snuff invalUable in keeping off headache; dizziness, &c: &c. —Old Monthly Magazine, September, 1838, p. 336.

BROOMSTICK MA itulAcEs.--The Second annual report of the registrar-general has just been published, from which it appears that during the past year the number of marriages solemnised according to the rites of the established church was 114,632—viz., 10 by special license, 14,669 by license, 76,328 by banns, 968 by superintendant registrar's certificate, and 22,657 by unspecified forms. The number performed otherwite than by the rights of the established 'church was 6;4sl—viz., 5,654 in registrars' offices, 73 between Qoakers, 160 between Jews. This return must be highly gratifying, testifying, as it does, the attachment of the great bulk of the population to the national church. We always expected that the Broomstick Marriage Act would be treated as a dead-, letter by the people-of thin country.—rorkshire Gaiette. " Tue.

John Hughes, the pious and indefatigable incumbent (called, by courtesy, the vicar,) with the help of two curates, performs in the most exemplary manner the labourious duties of this very exten sive district—he has no share of the tithes, but receives from the lay rector, Sir Bruce Chichester (the newly created ba ronet) TWENTY POUNDS PER ANNUM !—This, with a dwelling-house, three acres of land, and the humble addi tion of Queen Anne's bounty, is all that this estimable and over-worked minister receives for his unceasing labours ! The lay rector (no doubt an anti-pluralist and church reformer, or the present dispensers of honours would not have made him a baronet) receives upwards of £2OOO a year in tithes from this immense parish. Were he to give only a tithe of this income to him for whom the whole was originally intend ed, it would be but an act of common decency.—Merthyr Guardian. DUEL BETWEEN LIEUT.-COLONEL THE EARL OF CAR DIGAN (11th DRAGOONS), AND LIEUT.-TUCKETP, LATE OF THE SAME CORPS.—In consequence of the 'Earl of Cardi gan having ascertained that certain letters published recently in the Morning Chronicle, reflecting, as his lordship sup posed, on his character as an officer and a gentleman, were written by Lieut.-Tuckett, late of the same regiment, (the 11th Dragoons, of which his lordship is lieut.-colonel), the noble lord sent him, through Captain Douglas, of the 11th, a challenge. This was of course accepted, and Captain Wainwright, of the half-pay, was the friend selected by Mr. Tuckett to arrange the preliminaries. An apology was de manded by the noble lord, to which the reply was, that if he would deny the allegations contained in the letters refe-red to, it should be given. Lord Cardigan declared that certain portions of these letters were true, but that the greater part were calumnies. On this the apology was refused, and a meeting was the consequence. It took place on Saturday afternoon on Wimbledon-common. The first shot was inef fectual on both sides ; on the second fire Mr. Tuckett received his adversary's ball in the back part of the lower ribs, which traversed round to the spine. The ball has been extracted, and Mr. Tuckett is doing we ll, h av i ng b een pronounced out of danger. A LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT took place at Omagh on Saturday night. It appeared that for some time past the fields of Mr. Robert Holmes, near the old chapel, a short . distance from the town, had been greatly trespassed on, the hay torn out of the stack and scattered about, the potatoes dug up and carried away, and the oats and barley greatly' trodden down. This being continued night after night, Mr. Holmes, than whom there is not a more respectable or quiet man of his station of life in Omagh, at length determined to, keep watch himself, and to frighten the first person he found so destroying his property by firing over their heads. On the night in question, at about half-past nine o'clock, while he was keeping watch, he heard a noise at some distance from where he had stationed himself and discharged his gun, loaded with shot, in that direction. It unfortunately happened that the persons were much nearer than Mr. Holmes suspected, standing up in the shelter of a stock of barley, by which they were kept out of sight. The shot took effect on both (for there were only two persons), a man and a woman—the for mer a person passing by the name of Krasicki, a Polish Count, and Professor of Phrenology —the latter a fine-look but unfortunate girl, named Eliza Young. The girl received 18 grains of the s h o t i n an d about thelets side of the head ; the Count narrowly escaped, having received only two grains in the right cheek. He was standing with his arm round the girl, who uttered the words `• I am killed," and fell never to speak again. Mr. Holmes, finding what had occurred, im mediately called assistance, had the girl carried to the road, and ran and brought medical aid, but to no purpose. She died a few minutes after being conveyed to the infirmary. Mr. Holmes at.once gave himself up to the sub-inspector of police, Mr. J. H. Ridge (affording the only evidence against himself,) and was lodged in gaol. An inquest was held in the Court-house on Monday. Verdict—" That deceased came . by her death from a gun-shot wound, and that the gun was discharged by Robert Holmes."—Derry paper. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOCIRTY. — We are gratified to learn that the annual report for 1840, which is now in course of publication, contains a satisfactory and encouraging ac count of the proceedings and progress of the society. Th e income for the present year is £16,176 6s. 10d.', being an in crease of £5,753 2s. 3d. upon the year preceding. The EishoP of Peterborough and the Bishop of Sodor and M an b aye added their names to the list of vice-patrons. 37 new asso ciations have been formed, and 22 clergymen ha ve kindly of _ y ° fered their services as corresponding membe rs , several of whom have entered into an engagement with the committee to afford the society the benefit of a certain portion of their time and exertions to plead its cause and otherwise promote its interests. During the past official year the society, in has made grants to 76 incumbents in ch arge of 534,800 souls, order to provide stipends for 97 clergy men and 9 l a y assist ants, at a charge, when all th e appointments shall be made by the incumbents, of £8,612 per annum, beside s 9 grants , amounting in the whol e to £470, towards the building, pur chase, or fitting up nine chapels or oms to be li cense d f or public worship, in places where local resources for these pur poses were exhausted. The existing grants of this society are in aid of 270 incumbents,ulliaatyloinugoufnder their direct r care an aggregate Population 1,994,913, or each, on an ministe rialrg e charge or 7,388 souls ; whilst the average amount of their incomes is only £161; and 134 o f th ese i ncum bents are without parsonage-houses. Previously to the aid of the society only 3e.n clergymen of the above-statedwere engaged in the pastoral care population. the society's aid that number is now nearly doubled. The grants are to provide stipends for 285 c l ergymen and 28 lay assistants, at a charge of 25,324 per annum, the incumbents supplying from their own or from local resources 4,473 per annum towards making up the amounts required for the several stipends. The so ciety will thus be instrumental in bringing to the service of the church of England the sum of £29,797 per annum, so soon as all its grants are in operation. 196 clergymen and 36 lay assistants are now supported in their important labours by the society, at a charge of £17,854 per annum. The grants made towards the building, purchase, or fitting up of schoolrooms and chapels now amount .to 27 ; for these the sum of £1,471 has been votbd.—Sranclard. I EXPERIMENTAL OPENING OF THE CHESTER AND BIRKENHEAD RAILWAY. ThA number of the directors of this line, proceeded, on ursday last, from Warrington, where several of their en gines and carriages were in waiting, —to Crewe, where they Chwere entertained at a sumptuous collation by the mayor of ester, and o th er di,,,,F,,..,..,e ,t,.. r.,_ ~ , ~ . u,recLors or the Uhester and way. They afterwards proceeded along the C Chester, where they were received with great e' a* large conconr.. „so (eriday), the directors and their friends started from Chest on the Birkenhead line, with a train of five engines and to carriages, at a gentle speed, and arrived at their destinat' without accident, soon after twelve. At Crewe, joined by Mr: George Stephenson, tie. engineer of the first great railway (ths 'Manchester and Liverpool dof subsequent lines and works of magnitude. \V say that the greeting between him anti his be,. Mr. Dixon, of the Birkenhead line, and of the gentler: present, most of - whom knew him, was most cordial. On . Saturday, a .trip was m a d e st ill more gratifying, possible, inasmuch as it embraced the journey in the new line only from Birkenhead to Chester and back. On the previous day, the arrival of the trains not being generally anticipated by the now populous town of Birkenhead, the interest excited was comparatively small. A number of fine new engines and carriages were now, however, collected for the first time at the Birkenhead station, and the neighbour_ h od consequently became on the qui vire. Towards the hour appointed for.starting a large num b er o f persona of all ages and conditions, collected ou the v acan t ground of the company opposite th e station ;—at th e t op o Abbey-street, which was decorated with flags, many lathe Were on the ground, to witness the departure of the first large train from the terminus, towel its Chester. The gen tlemen included the directors, the engineer, Mr. Dixon, the treasurer, Mr. James, Mr. Yarrow, nephew of M . r. -D4on, (the assistant-engineer), and a l arge num b er of friends from Liverpool, Birkenhead and Chester. There were several • new engines on the ground, but one of them only, the Wirrall, built by Messrs.- Charles Taylor and Co., of this town, was attached to the train, - which was a mixed one. The second class carriages were very neat and eonunodious, .and bore the name of the makers, G. R. Melling and Son, Green Hayes, Manchester : a new and approved plan of a break is introduced. The two first class carriages were truly splendid vehicles, handsomely painted and varnished, and combining extraordinary neatness and strength, with several improvements in construction, amongst which may be con sidered their being, hung from the springs on strong leather. The manner in which these carriages are finished, both exteriorly and interiorly, excited the approbation of all who inspected them, .and is equally creditable to the builders and to the company. under whose directions they were built, by Mr. Truss, of Chester. Great anxiety was evinced by many of the bye-standers to obtain a ride to Chester and back, on the proposed pleasure - trip, for which, of course, there was no charge ; and several of the open carriages were .soon filled. Those who had thus taken their places were, how ever, informed that the operative engineers and workmen connected with the line should be adrnitted, and that if beyond these, room could be found for strangers„ they must find their way back from Chester on foot, as others of those. employed at the. works -would have to be brought from Chester by the train on its return. This was a damper to the aspirants to a cheap jaunt, and most of them dis mounted with rueful countenances, amidst the laughter of the byestanders. ' The whole of those who were to proceed having taken their places, the train started at about ten minutes past one o'clock, at a moderate pace, amidst the cheers of the populace. Mr. Dixon, the engineer of the line, and Mr. farrow, had both taken their places on the engine, with a view to greater security,—a precaution which is highly commendable in all new lines.' As the train proceeded, the inhabitanti of Lower Tranthere, and of every hamlet, house, or cottage, whence a view could be obtained, made their appearance at doors or windows, or on the several bridges, all equally enthusiastic in their demonstration of delight at witnessing, most of them for the first time, the rapid and, to them, fearful movement of the train. they were e need scarce ther et The entire length of the line is, as nearly as can be stated in round numbers, 144 miles, and the gradients are easy, none of them exceeding 1 in 330. The country through which it passes is generally interesting and often picturesque, though not populous except at either terminus. It leaves the village and Church of Brombro' on the right, in proceeding to Chester, and those of Eastham on the left. From the first or Tranmere embankment a fine view is obtained of the Mer sey and the Lancashire shore. The Brombro' valley, crossed by a high embankment and culvert, points a romantic scene. and beyond it the Mostyn valley, still more extensive and picturesque, is spanned by a lofty mound and a fine viaduct of eleven arches, under one of which, 68 feet below the level of the railway, is the Chester and Ellesmere canal, and under another a considerable brook. The centre arch (over the canal) is 45 feet in span, and is of the skew form. The others are of equal height, but of smaller span. Here the country is finely wooded, and continues to open out to great extent, co vered with seats and farm-houses, and bounded on the west by sloping land of Wales, backed by the range of mountains of which Moel Faunan stands pre-eminent. The line crosses the high road from Chester to Liverpool by a bridge, a little to the north of the Lunatic Asylum, which last forms a fine object in the landscaiv. The tower of Chester Cathedral and that of St. John's Church are now at hand, and in a few minutes the traveller, if on his way to " the ancient city," is set down at the-station at the east end of Brook-street, where it is immediately joined by the Chester and Crewe line. The rails are here on a level with the street, which will be carried over a bridge of three arches, already in a forward state, a little to the north of its present site. Here the offices, &c., requisite for the station are also approaching to completion We should add that the greater portions of the cuttings ar over the central part of the line, and many of them were heavy amount. The whole, however, as well as the eml ment and bridge work, have been accomplished in a N substantial and workmanlike manner, and all the slopes w in a short time be strongly consolidated by herbage. On this first occasion, it was the wish of the directors tc proceed along the line with caution, lest any accident might arise from parties at the different crossings being prompted by curiosity to come upon the line. To make security dou bly sure, the steam-whistle was sounded on approaching every point where the slightest danger could possibly be ap prehended, and the. speed was at the same time reduced. Stoppages were also necessarily made at several of the sta tions, to take up or set down parties interested. The jour ney was finally performed to Chester in fifty minutes ; but it will doubtless, when opened to the public, be accomplished in. half an liour, or even less. The speed occasionally at tained appeared to be about thirty miles an hour. The greater number of the fields on each side of the line are laid out in pasture ; and the cattle, horses, and sheep, " all unused to the rail-ing mood," on seeing (he train and hearing it thun dering along, flew off at tangents, in great alarm. Some of the husbandmen lost their teams, and.others had much diffi culty in restraining them ; but no a c c id en t occurre d. On arriving at Chester, the directors and their friends visited the town, and afterwards returned to the station, whence they started on their homeward voyage at about a quarter past three o'clock, accompanied by several of -the di rectors of the Crewe Railway, whose guests they had been on Thursday. The first part of the road from Brook-street was crowded with spectators, and a very slow speed became re quisite, the engine drawing the train being now the Zillah, built by our townsmen, Messrs. Mather, Dixon, & Co. The trip was exceedingly pleasing, hut, owing to the circumstances before stated, the same time was occupied in the return trip —namely, 50 minutes to the station at Birkenhead. Tice train was loudly greeted at all the fine bridges on the line, and at every other point where the few or the many who domicile in the neighbourhood could obtain a view of it. At At Birkenhead the crowd was great, and appeared to be much gratified with the result of the day's experiment. About five o'clock the directors and their friends of this town, Birkenhead, Chester, Crewe, &c., sat down to an ex- cellent dinner at Mr. Hilliar's, the Monks' F err y H ote l . Amongst these present were William Dixon, Esq. in the chair, Mr. Cl ax t on , v i ce - c h a i r, t h e Rev. James Main- Waring, Mr. Joseph Mallaby, clerk of the company, Mr. Christopher Bentham, Mr. John Dixon, engineer, Mt. John Jackson, Mr. Murray Gladstone, Mr. H. Crackenthorpe, Mr. William Ravenicroft, Mr. Worrall, banker of Chester, Mr. White of Sutton Hall, Mr. Follett and others. We need scarcely add that the evening was passed in a most agreeable manner; that success was drunk to the Birkenhead and Chester Railway; and that the parties separated highly delighted with the proceedings of the day. The railway will, we learn, be opened for passengers and traffic on Monday next, when also—an arrangement having been come to with Mr. Price, lord of the manor of Birken head—the Monks' Ferry will again be thrown open to the public. Mr. Brown, an aeronaut, ascended in his balloon from the gas works, Ashton-under-Lyne, on Monday, and alighted about five miles from the town. Mr. Wildman, recorder of Nottingham, has been appointed clerk of the Stockport Court of Requests, in the place of the bankrupt — Winterbottom, who lately absconded. There exists no intention at present for the assembling of parliament at an earlier period than usual. The Society fot the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts has resolved to maintain 20 additional missionaries in the diocese of Toronto. The following clergymen have teen appointed by the society to the several stations in the diocese of Montreal annexed to their names :—Rev. J. Fidler, Fe nelon Falls, Upper Canada ; Rev. W. Flannagan, Gore dis trict, Upper Canada ; Rev. N. Guerout, Riviere du Loup, Lower Canada; Rev. G. Wait, Pont Neuf, Lower Canada; Rev. G. C. Street, travelling missionary in Newcastle dis trict ; Rev. R. Lonadale, Kingsey, Lower Canada ; Rev. R. Anderson, Upper Ireland, county of Megantic ; Rev. M. Boomer, Maine, Upper Canada. It has been agreed to place £5OO at the disposal of the Bishop of Montreal, for assisting in the erection of .churches in poor districts. Also £2OO per annum to assist in the education of no fewer than foie• inis- sionaries MR. MACRETII.—On Sunday forenoon, Mr. M acret h (who is quite r ecovere d f rom the late horrible attempt upoil his life) attended divine service in the parish'church of St. Lawrence, Ludlow, and, through the minister, offered thanks to God for his preservation and recovery. 'When the Rev. Mr. Arrowsmith (who officiated in the absence of the Rev. A. 0. Johnes, the rector) pronounced his name, all eyes were bent upon him, and he appeared a good deal agitated, but soon recovered his self-possession. ' He has been paid much attention in Ludlow, arid his amiable disposition, gentlemanly demeanor, and companionable habits, have made him a ge neral favourite there. He left Ludlow yesterday by the Worcester mail, and from Worcester, through Cheltenham, to Bristol.—Salopian Journal. The postmaster at Exeter has received notice that the mails for Egypt and the East Indies will leave Falmouth in Govern ment steamers on the second day of every calendar month.— Exeter Times. The following cause has been given for the late fatal acci dent on the Eastern Counties Railway. One of the stokers, frightened at the velocity of the engine, put down the break upon the propelling wheel without the knowledge of the en gineer, or without putting off the steam from the !Aston ; this caused the engine to jump, and ultimately to jerk off the rails, and hence the fearful mischief that arose.—Chelmsford Chronicle. • DECLINE OF SoctAtisat.=-In consequence of the great decline which has taken place in the number of Socialist wor shippers since the recent exposures of the iniquities of that system in Leeds, it has been announced that in future the morning lectures at the Saloon in South-Parade, Leeds, will be discontinued. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAIL WAY.—CHESTERFIELD, SEPTEMBER 14.—A terrific acci dent took place. on the North Midland railway on Sunday last. The train which leaves Chesterfield at 11 o'clock had got as far as Bull-bridge, on its way to Derby, when the axle tree of one of the carriages suddenly broke, through the ex treme badness of the iron it was made of. Seven carriages were precipitated off the rails, and all in them more or less injured. One g entleman, a for e i gner , was ki lle d on the spot, and was sleeping when the catastrophe occurred. His body was seen 'on "the rails, and a carriage was on his back. He had with him some game, and plenty of cash on hi§ person, besides a valuable pocket-book. lie is supposed to have been shooting in the north—have not yet heard his name. The gu ard, n a remar k a b ly fine-looking man,. was precipitated down an embankment seven yards deep, where he lay for dead he was t a k en up b reath i ng, b ut di ed last night. Ano ther person, (name unknown) is so seriously injured that he is not expected to recover. A respectable young woman had her collar-bone broken, and her brother had so contused an artn that the surgeon says it must be amputated. An aged female, of Chesterfield, was so injured as not to be likely to recover. She has co bones broken, but a dreadful internal hemorrhage.
