There wait a County Meeting held at Cambridge
on Tuesday last, fur the pt►rpore of pctitiotiiiig the
House of Commons for a Reform in the represen-
'talon, and for the restoration of her MAJESTY to
her rights and priviirger. The Meeting was very
numerous and highly respectable. The Duke of
BEDFORD, the Marquis of TAVISTOCK, Mr. GUN-
NING, and Mr. PRYMR, were Swung the speakers in
favour of the Resoluttnint, winch they enforced with
much vigour and ability. A feeble opposition was
made by Gen. WAILI. and Dr. CHAFT; but the
original motion was tarried amidst immense op-
!douse. The &feeling dispersed after giving three
cheers for the QUENN.

On Friday last a singular occurrence took place
at Greenock. Au Arobiatt horse, brought thither
in the Clydesdale, from Calcutta, ese.sped f the
Tontine stables, uud made its stay to the graving
dock, at the weft quay, into which it plunged, sans
eerensonie, end lighted ut the bottom, a distance of
nearly 20 ftet, without any apparent discomposure,
and altogether unhurt ! After making a few gam-
bols round the Ivanhoe steam boat, then in dock, it
ascended, by the steps. with scarcely less rapidity
than it had made its descent, and was reconducted
without difficulty, to the *tables, after its short hut
perilous excursumsti
On the Ist initatit, a melancholy accident hap-
pened on the west side of Stanley Burgs, near Brad-
ley. SONIC perrons pusruint• a lox, the animal took
refuge in a hole in the side of a high bank. Ile
was followed by a dog, and some of the hunters
also crept in after them. The foremost, a young
mail, named Geo. STOBART, 23 ) eurs of uge, uud
resideilt near Prudhoe, had got about 12 yards in,
and several others were in close succession, when
a large quantity of loose sand fell upon STORART
and ►mothered hint. The person next him, though
in imminent danger himself, endeavoured to pull
him out, but could not effect it on account of
the weight of rand, and his having passed a
turning of the hole. Notwithstanding the utmost
exertions were immediately used, and unremitting-
ly continued, she corpse was not recovered until
the neat morning.
