verance and more cash, and, in all probability, lost its
and well
place in the grand race of renown by the mischance of
some mere accident. In justice to Messrs. Borthwick
then merchants at Leith, we think it right as we arc
sure Mr. Burstall would, here to record, that to their
liberality, as well as to his own talent, was he much
in-
debted for the means of
perserance. The other two
comotives, the Novelty and the Sanspareil broke down,
while Mr. Stephenson's Rocket outran the requirements
of the directors, averaged 15 miles an hour in speed, won
the prize, and ushered in " the greatest mechanical re-
volution effected since the invention of the steam-engine
by Watt," and its more immediate frxits.—Builder.
DYSTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday after-
noon an accident of a very distressing nature occurred
at Bwberton Mains, parish of Currie, which has un-
forturnstely proved fatal to one of the parties, and occa-
sioned much distress to the other. From what He have
learned, it appears that Mr. Scott, farmer there, had
taken down a loaded gun from the wall of the kitchen,
and while engaged in examining the lock, it went off,
when the contents were lodged in the body of a man
who is well known in that district by th
esoubriqueto of
" Johnnie Bauchels." The unfortunate was
killed almost instantameously.—Scotsman.
A site has been given by Mr. Adderley, M.P., to
the Worcester Board of Education, for the purpose of
erecting a training institution on a large scale for the
whole of that diocese. The site is conviently situated
near Birmingham. A sum of 5,0001. has been raised to-
wards the first outlay, and 3601. a-year towards the an-
nual expenses 9f the institution.
