at the last Chantilly races has, after a minute investigation by
the Club, been decided in her favour, and the stakes have been

It is a curious anomaly, which, perhaps, the
Postmaster-General can explain, that before the "
acceleration"
of the mails, a letter posted at Christchurch would reach Salis-
bury in four hours; it now takes two days to accomplish the
transmission.— Wilts Independent.
EXTREMES OF WEATHER.—On the longest
day, the 22d instant, the air was close and sultry, with thun-
der-showers ; and a storm of some violence
assed along
the Grampians and Sidlaws. Next morning the Bramar
Mountains appeared covered with snow.—Perth Courier.
DISTRESSING AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—
On Saturday evening last, as a mason, named George Pauley,
was at work on a high ladder at the gaol, Penzance. am empty
gig proceeded over the hill at a rapid pace, and dashing
against the ladder with great vielence, threw the poor man to
the ground front a height of about thirty-five feet, injuring
him so dreadfully, that he died almost immediately. The gig
it app:ars had been driven by Messrs. Matthew Dugdale and
Richard Botheras, who are said to have been intoxicated, and
to have driven furiously, in consequence of which they were
throwr. out. The Coroner's jury, in giving their verdict of
Accidental D,tth, severely censured the conduct of Dugdale
and Botheras, and agreed to a deodand of ss. on the gig.
DEATH FROM FURIOUS DRIVING.—In our
last we gave an account of the death of a female named Sarah
Harrington, who was thrown from the roof of the Redßovaert
coach, between Wolverhampton and Penkridge, which,
the time of the accident, was at full gallop to keep the lead of
a rival omnibus, also at its graatest rate of speed at the time.
An inquisition was held on Thursday last before Henry Smith,
Esq., Coroner, when, after a long and careful examination of
the witnesses, the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter"
against Robert Mirvin and John Bennett, the foemer tha driver
of the coach, and the latter the driver of the omnibus, with a
deodand of 05/. on the coach and horses, and 101. on the amid.

prehension of oth drivers Worcester Paper.
