FATAL ACCIDENT AT MESSRS. BARCLAY,
PERKINS, AND Co.'s BREIVEKV•—On Monday evening an
inquest was held before Mr. Payne, at St. Thomas's Hospital,
on the body of Evan Evans, aged 44, who came by his death
from falling down and striking his head. The injury appeared
to be very trivial, but soon after his admission into the hospital
he exhibited signs of delirium tremens. The deceased died on
Sunday morning. Verdict—Accidental Death.
THE RETARDER.—TIiaI has now been made
of this invention for retarding (not locking) the wheels ot car-
riages when going down hill, with success. The principle of
the invention is pressure so applied to the nave of the wheel as
to retard its motion, or at the will of the coachman stop it alto-
gether. The advantages of the invention are that the power
may be applied at the discretion of the coachman, so that he
might take his coach down a steep hill without allowing his
horses to be pressed upon at all.
