A STREET FLOWING WITH BEER.---Thii morning
(Fliday) early, one of the waggons loaded with beer, be-
' longing to the Setch brewery, broke down on the High
Bri,!ge, when several barrels burst, and also a cask of rum,
when the whole, or greater part of the liquor in them,
flowed down the channel of the street. This flood of the
potent draught formed an excellent treat to some labouring
men, who stretched themselves at length on the ground,
and drunk of the beer and rum to their heart's content.—
