IMPORTANT DISCOVERY OF A NEW COAL-FIELD.
—The towns of Park-gate and Neston, in Cheshire, were
on Friday the scenes of considerable rejoicing, in muse'
quence of the complete success which attended the trials,
made to prove the field of coal on the Cheshire side of
the Dee, on the property of the Hon. E. M. Loyd Delon
tyn, M.P. We understand that an extensive field ot
coal, of most excellent quality, and which, no doubt, is
a continuation of the Flint and Bagilt coal-fields has
been proved. Should this be the case, Birkenhead will
be enabled to derive from this newly-discovered field,
the extensive supplies of coals required for the use of
that rising port, and for exportation, on far easier terras
than from any other quarter.
A VIPER IN A CARRIAGE.--On Saturday after'
noon Miss Catherine Hayes, daughter of Captain Edgar
Hayes, of Lauder House, Brompton, accompanied by
female friend, Edgar, her brother (in his 9th year), and
the governess, were proceeding in a carriage to a friend 'S
in Burlington street, when, at the cornier of Sloane"
street, the young gentleman imagining that he sag'
something move in the pocket of the coach, drew his
sister's attention to the subject, placing his hand at tha
same time within the pocket, but almost immediately
withdrew it, exclaiming that he had been bitten in the
wrist. The governess was about to order the carriage
to be stopped, when a small viper sprang from the pocket_
and fastened itself upon the fur mantle of the friend of
Miss Hayes, wounding her just above the shoulder. The
screams of the ladies brought several persons to their
assistance, and a young man, of the name of Brodie,
waiter at an hotel in Bow-street, seized the viper gel,
destroyed it, the creature measuring seven or eight
inches in length. Medical assistance was procured and
the wounds of the young lady and gentleman dresseet
that of the latter being of rather an extensive character.
Not the slightest idea can be formed as to the means bl
which the viper had got into the carriage, the vehicle
having conveyed the father of the young lady to the
railway station only the day previous, and the stables are
' supposed to be free of vermin.
COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND
SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.—An accident occurred 011
Saturday on the Brighton railway which might ha"
been attended with very serious consequences, but forth'
nately such was not the case. The most exaggerated re'
ports were in circulation, but on inquiry we learn that
two parties were only slightly injured ; one of thera
proceeded to town by the express train—he had re'
ceived a blow on the temple ; the other walked away
from the place of accident, and our informant did not
see him. An empty horse-box was shattered, and one
first class carriage had a panel broken. Neither engine
received any injury of importance, and one of them pro'
seeded with the train. Neither of the enginemen nor
other servants of the company were at all injured. The
accident took place at the point of junction of the male
line with the Kemer branch, the down-train from Lon'
don at seven, A.M., and the up Hastings at twenty int
nutes past seven, A.M., having come into collision.
strict inquiry will be made into the matter, and it is id'
dispensable such should be the case.
Dr. Nichol, the Professor of Astronomy to the
University of Glasgow, was entertained at dinner at the
Tontine Hotel, Glasgow, on Thursday, by a numerous
party of friends. Mr. J. Leadbeater occupied the chair.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]—THE GREAT POPULARITY or
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS IN THE WEST ll'
DIES IN THE CURE OF ALL SKIN DISEASES.—A voting
gentleman, residing in St. Kitt's, was afflicted with st,
most distressing skin disease, termed " the Shingles."
He had the best medical advice that could be obtained le
the island, but finding that he derived no benefit Irons
their treatment, he determined on having recourse to
Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which had a most grad'
lying effect, for in a very limited period these invaluable
remedies completely cured him. Mr. T. C. Cable, of St.
Kitt's, vouches for the accuracy of this statement —Sold
by all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish'
went, 244, Strand, London.
