CHEAP P-LEAsuaE EXCURSION.—We
under-
stand that from the great competition at present existing be-
tween the two steam-boats on Loch Lomond, and those between
Dumbarton and Glasgow, that a person inay leave this city in
the morning by the steam-boat for Dumbarton, travel from
thence to Balloch (a distance of only four miles), sail through
the'lake, and return home in the evening by the same convey-
ance, for the astonishing small sum of three shillings and six-
pence, and that those inclined to take the cabin of the steam-
boats and the coach from Dumbarton to Balloch, may do so for
-seven shillings and sixpence.:..—(Glasgow Free Press.)
-DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--011 Monday Major
Ridge, who was at his brother's seat, at Vining, near Rogate,
Petersfield, on a shooting excursion, went out with his servant
to enjoy the sports of the field. After going over a hedge, his
servant handed him his gun through the hedge with the muzzle
towards him, when it accidentally went off, and the contents
'passed through the Major's body. When the account left he
was alive, 'but there was but little hope of his recovery. The
-family were in the greatest distress, and the whole parish la-
mented the accident, as he was universally respected.
ACCIDENT TO THE LEEDS COURIER COACT(.—
At 12 o'clock yesterday, the Courier, a Leeds coach, was over-
thrown opposite the church at Islington, by the near hind-
wheel coming off. Several persons were severely hurt, and one
gentleman, an outside passenger, had his thigh broken, and an
-infant, inside, an arm crushed. No blame appears to attach
.to the coachman, who was himself severely bruised.
On Monday a number of convicts arrived. at.
Newgate from Liverpool and York, and were yesterday con-
Areyed to Portsmouth, 'in order to undergo their sentences of
transportation, many of them being for life. Four men and
-three boys, from the Isle of Man, also arrived at the same gaol
•on Monday tight, under sentence of transportation, and were
'removed yesterday morning at eleven o'clock to Woolwich, pre-
lims to being,sent to Chatham.
