:.The following melancholy accident occurred at
Hamilton races, in Scotland. While a post-chaise
from Glasgow, with three Ladies .in it, .was en-
tering the avenue to the race-ground, the end
of the pole gave way, and the chaise striking
the heel of the horses, they took fright,. and ran
off with the utmost speed down the hill, when the
driver endeavouring to turn them into the. avenue
leading to the Palace, the chaise suddenly and so
completely overset, as to light op the very top,
and bursting to pieces, as if exploded by gunpow-
der, threw the Ladies in different diredions at a
considerable dista:lce upon the ground. One of the
Ladies had her thigh bone broken, her arm di‘located,
and her head and other parts of Ler body dreadfully
bruised. The other two Ladks were also much.
bruised. They were accompanied to the house of 3
Surgeon by Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON, WI-a)
remained with the Ladies for some time, and whose
sympathetic attention, with that of the whole of
that noble family at Hamilton, merits the highest
commendation.,

We understand that none of the Sailors procurer'
within the limits of the City, in consequence of
Press-warrants backed by the Lotto MAYOR, are suf•
fered to be carried on board the tender till they hale
been previously examined, and a number have been
discharged, as not within the operation of Press-
warrants.

A small animal, somewhat larger than a rabbit/
has been brought to the Company's Faelory at Fort
Marlborough ; the head resembles that of a hog'
and its shanks and feet that of a deer. The Bezbar
Stone found on this animal, has been valued at ten
times its weight in gold. It is of a dark brown
colour, smooth on the outside, and the coat beioS
taken off, it appears- still darker, with stringy
running underneath the coat, and it will swim or
-the' top of water: If it be infused in any liquid,
makes it extremely bitter. The virtues usually gt'
tributed to this stone are, cleansing the stomachs
.creating an appetite, arlci sweetening the I.)icod•
