A RUNAWAY WAoool.—it is generally the Cale Unit
hones run away with the vehicle to which they are
attached, but on Friday last the causer of destruction
was the waggon itself. A heevily laden wsggon and
four horsee.beloogiog to Mr. Pope, of Nottington Mills,
Ina proceeding over the Bridge, on the Weymouth side.
When they had passed the incline and got on the
dissent, tbe horses moving on steadily, the weight of
the waggon coining down bill pressed on the horses and
incited them to go on at a faster rate. They accelerated
their pain, and noon became frightened, and then turned
off at a rapid rate to the North Quay, faster and faster
at every step, Passing Mr. Chalker's shop, the train
got off the line, that is, the waggon slipped off the road
down an incline, and pushed the hones into the
cabinetmaker's shop. The forehorse was sent right
throegh a sheet of plate glare, which flew in all
directions, and the animal wounded all about the neck,
kicked furiously, as it lay on its side, and only hurt
Itself Wtone and worse. With very great difficulty it
was sot free, and lb. harness taken off. The poor hone
was then taken to the Boot Inn, hut was so frightfully
ant and bruised that it was a mercy to have it killed.

Yami• RACL—On Monday last an interesting trial coy
speed came off between two yachts belonging to
Bishop, Esq., in Weymouth Bay. The two beautiful
crafts were the well-known Phantom, and the Mricassin.
The former is about 12 tons, and the latter about 15.
Both are cutter rigged ; but the Meanie is American
built, and centre-keeled, her keel can he hauled up, and
she is very fiat on the water, this being suppo•ed to
give he facility for going to windward quicker than any
other boat She was built in New York about 10 years
ago, and haa been owned by Mr. Biehoir about seven
years. The Phantom has lately been lengthened. The
Mosiassin for the race carried three "hand. ;" she was
mailed by Capt. Clavering, R.N.. and the respected
owner wits also or board. The Phantom menet four
hands, end she was sailed by ber master Mr. Bennett,
The coarse was from opposite the middle of the
Eaplanule, past the Nothe, round a buoy off Portland
Breakwater, actress the bay, round a boat moored off
Osmington Mill. and back to the &planed*, being thus
triangular. Ten* round, the total istance being about
18 miles. About 11 o'clock, they stetted at a signal
from Mr. Bishop, The Phantom bad the advantage of
the start ; but the Muousin hail the wet One-
time. The former went &ea), with a reef in her
mainsail, but soon after set her gaff-topsail; the
slocassin had no reef in her mainsail, and her blending
jib was set- They were soon betting away towards the
Breakwater, under • steady brth se from the W.S.W.
Tbe Phantom maintained her lead, and passed the
Breakwater a minute or two before the llocassin. They •
then, in order to run before the wind, eet more sail,
the Phantom her balloon topsail, and the Moccasin her
gaff-topsail and hallooe jib. The Mocuain showed her
superiority in running and gained upon the Phantom
an that opposite Onnington Mill she was was clime on
her. By a succession of short tacks, very handily done,
the Phaeton now gained on her American rival, which
had taken it, her balloon jib, and set her standing jib.
The first course wee clearly won by the Phantom ; but
they shook their wings again, and were off for another
round. Just off the Nothe • little misunderstanding
occurred about the mails, and the yachts luffrd up, and
tot out of their course, somewhat to the •urpriee of the
spsciators, who were watching from the shore. They,
however, soon resumed their course, and after rounding
the Backwater buoy, set their balloon jibe again, and
bowled across towards Omit:igloo. In this run the
Moccasin gained very fasten the phantom, no I. than
