AN OMNIBUS UPSET.

We regret to state that a frightful accident, accompanied
with the loss of one life (miraculously no more), occurred at
the Three Mile Oak on the West Bromwich 'road, on
Monday evening last, under the following cirr:,,arnstieces.
About seven o'clock there were standing on the side
of the road nearest the Oak-house, the Rolyhead mail
on its way to Birmingham, and Co Wednesbury
coach on its way to that town. On the opposite side
of the road, and nearly opposite to Collier's coach, was
one of Doughty's omnibuses, there being about fifteen
feet between the vehicles on the two opposite sides of the
road. Having thus stated the situation of the carriages,
which were stationary at the Three Mile Oak, it is now our
painful duty to relate the circumstance which led to the
catastrophe which ensued. From the statement of a mart
named Royston, who was in the kitchen of the Oak, it
appeared that at the time the coaches we have enumerated
were opposite the house, two omnibuses, one belonging to,
Mr. Doughty, of Birmingham, and the other to Mr. Dean,.
of Dudley, were seen between Lord Dartmouth's lodge and
West Bromwich, about 150 yards from the house, galloping
abreast at a fearful rate in the direction of Birmingham. I\lr-
Doughty's vehicle almost immediately took the lead, and
upon this Dean's omnibus slackened its pace and pulled in. It
would appear, however, that the driver of Mr. Doughty's
omnibus lost all control of his horses, and, galloping on, the
omnibus came in contact with the off-hind wheel of the Ho-
lyhead snail, the consequence of which concussion was, that
the driver of the mail was thrown amongst his horses, and a
gentleman upon the box pitched upon the paved footpath be—
tween the mail and the public-house. This was, however, li
tle compared with the injury which followed. The omni-
bus was upset, and we are sorry to add that Mr. Mark Ro-
binson of Beverley, well known as the advocate of lay
preaching in connexion with the Established Church, was
pitched upon his head and killed on the spot.. Timmins,
the driver, fell near the deceased, and was considerably, al-
though not dangerously, injured. A Mr. Randal Plunket
(of the firm of Plunket and Brothers, of Dublin), at the
time the accident occurred, sat by the side of Timmins,
and was thrown some yards beyond Mr. Robinson, but
fortunately escaped without receiving more than a few:
trifling bruises. The opinion of this gentleman is, that
little blame is to be attributed to the driver, except a want
of nerve, skill, and strength, to manage a very awkw,lrd
and restiff team. The body of the deceased man was re-
moved into the Oak public-house to await the result of a
coroner's inquest. There were 13 inside passengers 'in the
omnibus, but none of them were materially hurt.—Bir°
nzinghanz Advertiser.

The weather has been hot and sultry for same, days,
with frequent showers of rain, which have brought for ward the
crops with extraordinary rapidity; and, judging from present
appearances, we may yet hope for an abundant, if n of an early
harvest. The continuance of fine weather h'.is tin own a lair
pour over the corn markets, and grain of all descriptions ig
now rather on the decline.—Scotsman of Saturday.
A silly-minded lad, well known in the vest end of
Glasgow by the appellation of " Daft Jock," w las on Friday
placed at the bar of the Police Court, Glasgow„ charged witil
annoying the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of SauchietTil"
road, and among others our worthy Lord Pr "ovost, by being
over importunate in soliciting alms. Th'.: Lord Provost
stated to the Court that his friend Jock W 8 a complete pest
to every body in the vicinity where he dwelt., After being ad-
monished by Bailie Johnston, " Daft Jock." was remanded I
durance vile ; and the Lord Provost, bid-,ling the Bailie V°
morning, left the Court.—Ayr Observer. -
REVOLTING MURDER.—On Tuesday last a lilt
up
of the name Fitzgerald, herdsman to Mr. Henry Massey, "„
shot on the lands of Donniskea, four miles from Tipperary, 1"
the noon-day, by a ruffian named Sweeny, who, in coming.
to his unfortunate victim, exclaimed, " I have; been 101°1
for you a long time, and now I have you." He then made
him go down on his knees, and ordered him to bless himsel
after which he deliberately fired at the dece' Ised with a blun-
derbuss. There were seven balls found in his body; be lin-
gered for a few hours, so as to be able to depose as to the per-
petrator of this foul deed, who was his sexond cousin.—izr
