Yesterday Andrew Mackenzie, a native of Scotland,
decided a wager, which had been pending fur several days, by
walking round the inclosuro in St, James's Park in eight mi-
nutes, fourteen seconds. The time allowed was ten minutes.
Mackenzie expressed his readiness to repeat the feat in six,
but no one volunteered to accept the offer.
Mr, Edwards, sen., Lord Jersey's famous trainer,
died at Newmarket, on Saturday, in the 73d year of his age.
He trained for his Lordship upwards of 40 years, and bore an
unblemished reputation.
A dreadful disaster took place on the Danube on
he 221 inst. attended by the loss of nearly 30 lives. A large
barque of about 100 tons left Rugensberg for Vienna on that
day, with a number of passengers, upwards of 100. On the
esvel leaving Shauf, a small place about six miles from Ru-
gensberg, she ran foul of a bridge, which struck her nearly
amidships with a most tremendous shock which split her in two
Darts. A large portion of the bridge fell upon the passengers.
Au English gentleman, an officer in the Austrian army, named
Westbrook Michael, to whom we arc indebted for our infor-
mation, was standing a-head, and the shock threw him several
yards into the river with a portion of the wreck upon him.
Being an expert swimmer, he succeeded in reaching the shore.
The scene was of the most frightful description, and the cries
for assistance were heart-rending. Men, women, and chil
dren were borne down the rapid torrent. The scene at this
moment it would be impossible to describe. Between twenty
and thirty people perished in the river, and the loss of property
was very considerable. The officer above-mentioned was the
only Englishman on beard. Too much praise cannot be
given to the noble Prince Taxis, whose house and purse were
open to all those who escaped with their lives, but in many in-
stances lost all that they possessed. The exertions he made
in person to save the lives of the passengers reflect the highest
honour upon this nobleman. One poor woman, who had clung
to the barque, had her head completely severed from her body.
and a man bad one of his legs cut asunder. A neighbouring
hospital is almost filled with the wounded. The loss of pro-
, perty is estimated at 15 millions of florins.
