LAMENTABLE and FATAL ACCIDENT.
An accident of a peculiarly lamentable character took
place last week near the village of St. Bees, Cumberland,
by which a young man named John Brindle, the nephew
of Mr. Brindle, the proprietor of the Railway Hotel, St.
Bees, was instantaneously deprived of life in a very
fearful manner. It seems that the deceased, who had
been stopping with his uncle, went in a gig to the village
of Egremont, accompanied by a young, lady named
Mary Ann Bowness, and a farm servant employed by
Mi. Drillalu. O. their return to St. Bees iu the evoa-
ing the party were seen driving at a very rapid pace;
and it appears that while the gig was descending a steep
hill leading to St. Bees the horse started off in a manner
to alarm the farm servant, who jumped out and tried to
catch the reins, but being unsuccessful he fell and re-
ceived some severe injuries. The horse, alarmed, set off
down the hill with fearful velocity, and as the reins gave
way the animal continued its career, the driver being
quite unable to control it. On reaching the foot of the
hill the animal and the gig went with great violence
against the shop window of Mr. Braithwaite, groet`r9
which was completely destroyed and knocked into the
road. Such was the violence of the shock, that Mr.-
Brindle was thrown against the wall with so much force
and
that his skull was completely shattered to pi
fragments of it, along with portions of his brains, were
lying scattered about. The young woman was also
thrown through the window, but, strange to say, received
only very little injury. The horse, which was a young
and very valuable one, broke one of its legs, and it was
necessary to kill it. A lady and some children had been
sitting at Mr. Braithwaite's window only a few minutes
before the accident happened. But fur the fortuitous
circumstance of their quitting it they must have been
killed or seriously injured. At the inquest, where the
above facts were detailed, the jury returned P. verdict of
accidental death. It is stated that the unfortunate young
man was about to be married to the lady who acoom-
panied him on the fatal excursion.

second an explanation is found in the anxiety which pre

trade there has been a continued steadiness which leaves no-
thing for remark. Haberdashery, nothwithstanding it is
comparatively a recent article of export, still presents,
month by month, a large improvement, and although iti
aggregate export was last year 270,0001. in excess of the year
before, there has already, in the first eleven months of 18S1,
been a further augmentation of 260,0001.
