On Saturday morning the farm-buildings, stocks

Lord Lichfield and three of his friends were veil
nearly wafted to their forefathers the other day. The boor
of the Manchester train was changed without any notice'
which is a very common occurrence, and when Lord Lichfield
got to Birmin ham he found it was gone. He was much an-
noyed, as the Duke of Sussex, and a large party, were cornig
to dinner at his scat, Renton Abbey. He asked whether b°
could have an engine for himself and party, which was imme-
diately provided. Away they went at great speed, but Owing
to the neglect of a pol'eeman in not turning a plate, they
were carried with great force off the line, were in most intent'
vent danger, and at last upset into a pit. They were a-
fire understand, much injured, and one gentleman, Lord Lich-
field's secretary, received so violent a contusion on his shine,
that he has been in boa ever since.—Northampton Herald.

deposed that she accompanied the deceased, with two Odle;
females, on Monday afternoon, about five o'clock, to inert/
the Glass-house in Water-lane, Fleet-street, where they re-
mained about two hours. They then crossed Blacktriars-
bridge, and deceased called a four-wheeled cab, into whit°
they got, except deceased, who mounted up beside the ca
lf
man ; but in the act of turning the horse, the deceased fell u$
into the road. Deceased was taken to the next surgeo°l4
who pronounced him to he labouring under a fit of apopleeP
In half an hour he recovered, and proceeded to the first coach"
stand, where he procured a cab, and was driven home. A succes'
sion of fits, however, followed, and he expired on Wednesdel
of ernoon. The Jury returned a verdict accordingly.
