MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.— As Cornish, the
Holbeton carrier, was driving his van into Plymouth, on
Thursday last, his daughter, a girl 14 years of age, at-
tempted to jump out of the cart, whilst her fatkcr was en-
gaged in paying the toll at the turnpike gate, in doing
which she slipped her foot between the horse and the
vehicle, and the wheel immediately passed over her leg
and arm ; ber terrified parent having stopped the horse,
proceeded to rescue his daughter from her perilous situa-
tion, which he fortunately accomplished before the after
wheel had time to pass over her, when, to his great joy and
utter amazement, he discovered that she bad received no
injury, with the exception of being bruised. Our readers
will scarcely believe this statement credible when we add,
that besides the goods, &c. with which the van was laden
there were eight female passengers in the cart at the time
thelaccident occurred.7—Deconport Independent.

10ENV POLICE REGULATION.-A vast num-
ber of complaints have from time to time been made with
regard to persons having been improperly locked up in
station-houses, to which they had proceeded in order to
give evidence in favour of parties charged, and who have
been incarcerated themselves upon the statement of con-
stables, who, in order to prevent them from giving such
statement as might operate in favour of the accused, have
turned round upon them and made them participators in
the transaction which led to their (the constables') inter-
ference. Within the last ten days the following circular
from Scotland-yard has been read throughout the several
divisions of Metropolitan Police :—" The Commissioners
strongly condemn the practice of taking into custody and
charging with being concerned in the offence, persons who
come to the stations as witnesses when a charge is mak-
incr; such a practice may prevent parties from appearing
wrio can give important evidence, and has the appearance
of a desire by the Police to suppress evidence in the case,
especially where the charge is for an assault on the Police
themselves, or for obstructing them in the performance of
their duty ; if parties against whom a charge ought to be
made, and who have not been previously arrested, do come
to the station as witnesses, their names and addresses
should be taken, as also their personal recognizance to ap-
pear before the Magistrates to answer the charge ; but in
cases of assault on the Police, obstruction in the perform-
ance of their duty, or rescue, and such like, where all the
parties cannot be secured and kept in custody, the arrest
should be made if possible at the time, and the parties re-
quired to go to the station, when such steps have been
taken, and then on the appearance of the parties at the
station, they may be arrested and detained on the original
charge."

HANOVER, MARCH, H.—Several journals
have said that the University of Gottengen was threatened
with suspension if it did not elect a deputy. An article in
the Hanover Gazette says, " It is indeed not easy to un-
derstand why the University has not made use of the im-
portant and honourable right granted to it by the Consti-
tion of 1819, which is now recognised as in force of elect-
ing a deputy to the second Chamber. The :Ministry
never had the most remote idea of decreeing a suspension
on that account.
