but from an anxious desire to avoid the possibility of any undue

_
imputation.

their re.
turn, in Lady HARRINGTON'S carriage, from an
airing in the Park, to her Ladyship's mansion
in the Stable-yard, the axletree broke at the mo-
ment the carriage passed through the gate from
the Park, the body fell to the ground, and the
alarm of the Ladies can be more easily conceived

forded, and they were helped into Harlington
House, without experiencing any injury, except—
ing being exceedingly terrified.
Lately, whilst the men were re-paving the
Castle-yard at Lancaster, a Jorge cannon Emit
was found about ten inches below the surface
of the ground, weighing 46 pounds. 'f he generia
suppositioti is, that it was a ball employed

CROMWELL, in the. year 1653, and had perfo-
rated the area in the centre ; consequently it
must have remained under the ground undisco-
vered for about 170 years.
