The South mail, which should have reached Inver-
ness this day (Tuesday) at half-past ten o'clock, A.M., did
not arrive till seven o'clock in the evening. Fears were en-
tertained that some accident had occurred to the coach, or
that some bridge bad been washed away by the floods caused
by the heavy and continued rains. This, however, was
not the case : the delay took place at Qucensferry, which
it was impossible for several hours to pass, owing to the
boisterous state of the weather.—lnverness Courier.
At a numerous meeting held on Wednesday, at
Swansea, for making a rate for church repairs and other ex-

tablished Church, the sum wanted was agreed to be raised
by voluntary contribution. -
The Hon. G. Keppel commenced a canvass here on
Monday morning, and on the evening of the same day, a
meeting of his friends and supporters took place at the

coming forward us a candidate for the representation of the
borough. In consequence of this proceeding Lord George
Beutinck, and Sir Stratford Canning commenced calling

A melancholy and fatal accident occurred on Sa-
turday evening, to Mr. John Pooley, of Waybridge-lodge,
Huntingdonshire. He was proceeding home from Hunting-
den-market, when, from some cause which is not known,
he was thrown to the ground with so much violence as to
cause a dreadful concussion of the brain, which rendered
him perfectly insensible, in which state he was found shortly
after the accident. Medical assistance was procured, and
he was removed to his own residence ; but he lingered in a
state of great suffering until Monday morning, about ten
o'clock, and then died. At the inquest held on the body,
it was deposed that Mr. Pooley was perfectly sober when
he left Huntingdon ; but there was no evidence to shew
by what means he was thrown from his horse. He was
only in the 31st year of his age, and his melancholy death
has excited the deepest sympathy in the neighbourhood.
