and kadiug themselves without a guide, gallopped along the
road towards IlLaightsbridge with the greatest velocity : hap-
pily takiag a long sweep, they cleared the lamp-pout at the
career of Skeane-street. They then kept on this furious pace

posite St. George's Hospital, obeli thou colorer was arrested

House, sprang bef.we the saimals us the road, mid catching
the bridle with t►e hooked handle of his Umbrella, held with
all his might, and in that situation was dragged a distance
of about 30 yards ; but he succeeded at length in stopping
the horses, without say person receiving the least injury, ex-
cepting the coarhatar, who sustained a few slight bemires.—
What added considerably to the danger was the event taking
place about Gee o'clock. when the road was crowded with
carriages, kr. returaiag from the aliddlesex election.

WARWICK, MARCY 29.

[nuns mg sYstuna PAM.]

The approaching trials excite mucli Jess attention
here than they do in the inetropolir. Few of the
Warwick people seem greatly to interest themselves
in politics ; mid the 'tames of Cartwright. Wooler,
and their brother Reformers, are read over in the
cause list with calm indifference.
When the proceedings will commence is at pre-
sent unceitain.
'Else case of Spurrier n. Edmonds will probably
he taken before the indictment for • conspiracy.
The Grand Jury stand summoned for to-morrow,
and till they have performed their ditty nothing
can be done. Friday then is the earliest day ou
which the parties charged with a conspiracy can be
put on their trial, but, that being Good Friday. it
is not likely that the Judge will then take a cause
of such importance. Ou that day Mr. Justice
Best (the only Judge at ',repent here) will attend
Divine Service, but on account of the great pres-
sure of business at this Amiss's, it is undersood that
on ilk return the Court will pit.
An application has been made to Mr. Lee (the
Usider Sheriff), to accommodate the Gentlemen
connected with the Londoo Newspapers, now h •re,.
by providing them with seats in a favourable situa-
tion, that they may be enabled to transmit a cor-
rect account of whatevei may occur. He has po-
litely declared his readiness to de all that can be
done, but at the same time lie is fearful that con-
siderable difficulties lie in the way of affording the
requisite indulgence to all.
Major Cartwright has been here a day or two.
lie has several mobs walked about the town. but
without being generally n soguised. %limier has
nut yet made his appearance.
