DOVER, JAN. 23.—A fine new steam-vessel, called the
Arrow, came into the harbour from the River, and is intended
to be employed in the service of the Post Office for the con-
veyance of the mails between this port and Calais. She is scout
10 feet longer than the other steam-vessels here, and has the
appearance of a frigate. The opening of the new sluice has
been the means of elf:dually clearing the bar from the mouth
of the harbour ; and it is now considered that the entrance will,
in future, be clear from all impediment. The Commissioners
of Paving have come to the determination of lighting this town
with gas.
On the •22d tilt. was launched at New York, an elegant ship
called the Columbia, intended to take the place of the J:im:s
Monroe, as a packet between New York and this port, anti to
be under the command Of Capt. Rogers. She was to sail front
New York on the 10th inst. Another vessel called the Florida,
has also been launched at New York : she is designed for the
Liverpool trade, and will, we are informed, be commanded by
Capt. Matlock.—( Liverpool Advertiser.)

It is calculated that the average number of
deaths caused by the overturns of stage-coaches,
within the year, exceeds half the number ex-
ecuted in England and Wales, that is forty-eight
killed, and more than twice that number of
limbs destroyed: The mischiefs are attributed to
the top-heaviness of the vehicles, which are allow-
ed to carry ten outside passengers, with luggage
reaching two feet in height above the roof of
the coach ; or thirteen passengers, if without
luggage. A coach so laden must overturn, if
the wheel be raised 131 inches from the ground :
and should it be in rapid motion, it would be
far from ,afe for the wheel to go over an obstacle
half that height. To prevent such accidents,,it
is proposed that a very small portion of lug-
gage be allowed on the roof, and only four pas-
sengers ; the rest to be placed in a seat behind.—
