SINGULAR OCCUR RE N CE —A few nights since the Cheshunt wag-
gun on leaving London had a number of women and children pas-
sengers, and after par skint; of some refreshment at the Black Bull.
at Kinasland, they proceeded on. Some time afterwards the wag
goner was alarmed by the shrieks of one of his women passengers,
and on enquiring the cause she had fallen asleep and lost her infant,
which was supposed to have slipped through her arms and fallen out
of the waggon. The driver stopped whilst the afflicted mother and
and two men traced the road back after the child, and in their way
they met a stage coach and waggon. but they could get no tidings
of the infant until they found it lying in the road. about a mile limn
the waggon uninjured, except basing been ,lightly hiniscd. The
night was dark and loathe" the drivers of the coach or waggon could
see the child.
Last week, a hanolsome woman of genteel appearance, ap
proaching her acconchement, took her place in the Chester mail ti:
go to Ireland, where her husband an officer in the army, rectotly re-
turned from Bourdeaux, awaited her arrival. On her arrival at
Oxford, she complained of being unwel. There were three gen-
tlemen in the mail with her. She had not loins passed WolverhamP•
ton, when she was assailed by the' pains of labour; the gentlemt
quitted the coach, and sent a young woman, who happened to be on
the outside, to her assistance. She was so little experienced, that
she was of little service; fortunatrly an elderly female passed at the
moment, and with her care, a fine boy was ushered into the world.
The mail was detained half an hour, but the lady and her ottspring
were safely conveyed to the lodge of Sir John Wruttesley, between
Wolverhampton and Stafford.
A melancholy accident happened on Friday evening, in the parish
of Fetiwick (Scotland) :—A farmer having gone out at six o'clock,
to draw some lime, part oldie kiln gave way, and he was thins% n
among the ashes. Immediate assistance was procured, and the un-
happy Mall Iva. heard several times railing for relief, tior above an
hour ; but although every exertion was used, it was near nine
o'clock ['elute the lime and ashes could be 'callused, when the body
was found in a shocking state.
bins lloos.—There were, perhaps, never so many instances of
mad dogs as has occurred in this year. The parish of Clerkenw ell is,
very prudently, placarded by order of the Magistrates, enjoining
ill
the inhabitants, who have dogs, to keep them tied up, under the
threat of a penalty for neglect ; and Camden Town ahri its vicinity
have been kept in a state of constant alarm during the last ten days,
in consequence of a mad dog having run throuch that place last Sunchly
