OFFICIAL CORRECTNESS,--We havefoundamong
our stamps of this week a sheet without any stamp upon it.
As we should be subject to a heavy fine had we accidentally
printed it, the neglect on the part of the Commissioners, who
are aware of the consequences, must be unpardonable. This
is not the first, second, or third time we have discovered a si-
milar negligence, and some years ago we discovered seven or
eight newspaper sheets unstamped in one week's supply.—
Bath Journal.—[A similar occurrence has happened more
than once to us, and last week a sheet was discovered which
had been stamped twice over. Correctness on the part of
the officials in such a business is of vital importance, both as
regards the interests of the Government and the safety of the
press.—Kendal Mercury. _ _

Yesterday evening, between eight and nine o'clock,
the greatest degree of alarm and consternation was excited in
Farringdon.street, in consequence of a cab (the driver of which
was evidently intoxicated) proceeding at a tremendous rate
towards Blackfriars'-road. There were two prostitutes in the
vehicle, which, at the top of Bride-lane, ran against and knocked
down an elderly woman, named Morley, who not only received
a compound fracture of the right arm, but was otherwise se-
riously bruised. The driver, notwithstanding the injury ho
had caused, kept on at an increased rate, and at the foot of
Blackfriars-bridge drove over a boy who was in the act of
crcssing the road into Stamford-street. The ruffianly cabman,
although closely pursued, contrived, by whipping his horse
with all his might, to effect his escape.
