We mentioned in our last that severs) flights of
the bird called cross-bill bad been seen near Shrews-
bury, and that their appearance was very mitre-
qiient. Mr. TURNER, of Virginia-water, has often
observed them in the plantations bordering on the
lake, and has shot some during the last week.
They are of various colours, and the male bird is
particularly beautiful.—/Windsor Express.)
The following melancholy accident occurred yes-
terday sennight, in the tiro4-litinurlioncl of Healey,
near Sheffield :—As Mr. .I.IIOMAS BINGHAM, of
Lightivuod, his wife (iii an advanced state of preg-
nancy), Mr. JENKINs, jun. and his sister, of Carter
Hall. were driving down, in a covered cart, from
the Four Lane Ends, the horse took fright, and
became utterly unmanageable; to add to ibis ter-
rible dilemma, the Mild snapped asunder. when the
affrighted animal hurried the vehicle against • tree
near Mtersbreok Cates, and dashed its ill-fated
passengers against the adjoining wall. Mr. 13. had
his head so dreadfully cut and 'metered, that lie
died at half-past nine on that evening ; Mrs. 13.
was not much i...jtired by the lA, but continued in
a state of extreme agitatiou and insensibility till
the following morning, when she became a little
calm and collected ; Mr. JRNitiNs was much
bruised, but not dangerously injured ; his sister,
however, was less fortuilate, having her collar bone
fractured, and otherwise much bruised. We are
happy in being able to add that they are likely
to do well. Mrs. B.'s recovery, we understand is
duubtfal.
