An accident occurred three days back to the car-
riage in which the Prince de Carignan was being
conveyed from the railway station to the Palace at
Turin, on his return from Milan. While passing
along the Rue St.-Frangois-de-P ul the axletree
broke, causing the body of the carriage to sink be-
tween the wheels. Fortunately the horses were
stopped immediately, and the accident had no more
serious result than some damage to the vehicle.
DEATH OF MR. THOMAS POWELL.—Mr. Thomas
Powell, the well-known colliery proprietor of South Wales,
died suddenly on the 25th, at his residence, the Geer, New-
purt, Monmouthshire, in his 83d year. He was the owner of
16 collieries, and had about 6,000 people in his employ. He
was probably the largest coal exporter in the world, and an
idea of the immense resources of his works may be formed
from the fact that he shipped last year not less than 700,000
tons. He had been connected with the South Wales coal
trade for half a century, and his career affords another in-
stance of what may be effected by talent and industry.
A LAWYER'S DODGE,—A lawyer coming out of
his office in Lincoln's-inn-fields, met a creditor whom
he was anxious to avoid. There was no possibility of avoid-
ing him, but the lawyer did not lose his presence of mind,
and immediately resolved what to do, knowing the creditor's
weakness. " That's a beautiful mare you are on," said the
lawyer. "Do you think so ?" "Yes, indeed ; how does
she trot P" The creditor, highly flattered, put her into
full trot. The lawyer dodged round the corner into Hol-
born, and was out of sight in a moment.

[ADVERTISEMNT.I—TwofoId Extraordinary Cure effected
by Holloway's Pills and Ointment.--Mr. J. Webb, boot
and shoe maker, Chapel street, Cahircevin, Ireland, writes
under date Jan. 10th, 1863, that he had been afffictt-d for
17 years with a most dreadful asthmatic cough and
shortness of breath, and latter y was also subject to be-
numbed sensations in his limbs, attend'd with heavy drowsy
feelings which threatened an apoplectic fit. In alarm he
consulted the most skilful 01 the pr fession within many
miles of his resideace without avail, and fruitlessly used
every means recommended by friends till he heard of tae
repute of Holloway's remedies, and resolved, with death
staring him in the face to give them a trial. They imme-
diately relieved and ultimately cured him.
