In THE BRITISH PREIS of Wednesday last,
we stated (from ler Leeds Mercura), that Mr. Ser.-
LER!, a card-maker, at Wake, near Bradford, who
left the Saddle 100, in that town, on Tuesday the
Bth instant, about ten o'clock in the evening, had
disappeared, and that though his horse had beets
found in the river Aire, on the evening of the fol-
lowing day, its rider had been diligently sought for
by his friends up to that time, but in vain. To en-
courage others to engage in the search, a reward of
ten guineas was offered to any person that should
lied him either dead or alive : and on Monday
Nursing, about nine o'clock, his remains, which
had Boated to the surface of the water, were disco-
vered in the river by JOHN HARRISON, • cloth•
dresser, about 100 yards below the place where his
horse had been previously found. We are happy to
add, that too marks of violence appeared upon the
person of the deceased, and that all the property
which was in his possession when he left the imu,
consisting of a bill of exchange, value 1001., with '
a few provincial notes, and half-a-crown. in silver,
as well a• his gold watch, were fouud upon him. The
verdict of the Coroner's Jury was, as may have been
anticipated from this account, Accidental Death ;
and though the fate of this worthy man is unques•
tiooably most deplorable, yet it is divested of a
large portion of its horror, by the consolatory re-
flection, that it was occasioned by • casualty, end
Dot, as was apprehended, by the hands of a tour-
deres.

Last Thursday night, soon after eight o'clock,
the Defiance coach, on its way from Liverpool, was
overturned at the Cardigan Arm., within about a
mile from this place, owing to the coachnian, who
is represented to have been in a state of it►toxtca-
tion, turning too suddenly towards the inn. At the
time when the accident happened, there were ten
outside and six inside passengers, and one elderly
woman, of the name of THORP, au inhabitant of
Liverpool, and the mother of eight children, had
one of her legs broken in two places, and the thumb
of her right hand dislocated. A Lady in the coach,
whose name we have not heard, received a severe
contusion on the head ; and a gentleman from
London, of the name of Ram), had his arm so
much bruised as to fiud it necessary to use a sling.
The other passengers all providentially escaped with-
out any serious injury, except a foreigner, who was
thrown into a state of extreme agitation, but suf-
fered no bodily injury. The coachman paid the
penalty of his intemperance and want of caution on
the spot ; the splinter boner of his leg having been
broken by his fall from the box.—(Leeds Mercury.)
