You impute to me a matte:urn motive towards you. This
I positively disclaim. I neither knew your permit, nor your

Air the cOaricier of a Itrativh Officer, as sorb, no prison can

Monday, being the first of the new year among
the Jew,, was kept as a high festival, and finished
yesterday.
Monday. as the carriage of Mr. Bitoonx, of
Wimpole-street, was passing along the Strand at a
quick rate, the axle-tree broke, said one of the fore-
wheels flaw before the carriage. The coachmen re.
Ceivial a violent fell on the pavement, but fortunate-
ly no bones were broken. The horses started off
at full speed with two gentlemen in the carriage,
and were not stopped till they got to Cockspur-
street. A gig was overturned by the carriage with
two men in it, but they did not receive any material
injury. Mr. Baoox►'s carriage rested forward near
to the ground without overturning, and one of the
gendemen, whose mune we understand to be Moss,
received route injury in the uncle, in jumping out.

shore, she employed most judicious methods, for
near an hour, till she observed animation return-

man of the came of %A/midair Nee to life. Ou

ship Barireid, of [lull, bisinwl to Pennsylvania. The
ease being wetl attested, she was liberally rewarded
by the Tieesurer of that praise-sorthy institution,
the North Wiles Humane Society, for her zealous
mid active exertions in the cause of life.
