This morning, as Garland, the cosch•nan, was
driving a very large carriage, crowned inside and
out Aid' 13athonians goin.„:• to liristol fair, one of
the wheels came off near the village of Tiverton.—
'Pie poor fellow finding the coach was going down,
sprang froli the box, but haring lost his erpiipohie
by the andlenness of the fall, he, unfortunately
pitched on one leg, which wag dreadfully shattered ;
I hive heard it is broken in three places.

Yesterday afternoon, as Sir John Hawkins was
sporting on his Kelaton Manor, with a friend, 'the
dogs made a point, wad the gentleman jumping off
his poney in a hurry to get a shot, unfortunately
hi* guii went off, and nearly the whole chaige
penetratid the fnuoiwee right side. I. elm happi to
add, however, fur the satisfaction of Sir John's
inerous friends, who mac be ut a dists►►er (ruin hmi,

The following trait of brotherly affection desterves
to be recorded : At the commencement of the
present cunteet between this country mid France, a
young Milli, belonging to Bourdeaux, who had
bee,' married only a few weeks, ens. drawn as a
conscript, and ordered to appear before the Mili-
tary Prefect at a stated period, to enrol himself far
the army. His feelings. and the sympathising dis-
tress of his relatives. may be inure rea lily conceived
than deseribed. A yonager brother, linwever. be-
ing a witness to the anguish of his brother and his
young bride, e11111761/el. the laudable resolittion of
freeing him from his distressing dilemma ; and,
without givinz the least notice to 'any of his rela-
tives, he n paire.l to the Prefect, (dimmed his bra-
disellinge, staid enrolled himself in his stead.
Very soon afterwards lie joined the army. and
being placed in a regiment of dragoons,, was taken
prisoner dal the continent. and sent to this country,
where he has remained a prisoner ever since, till
Thursday last, alien he was liberated in the follow-
