Tng EAST AND WEST INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.
SOUTHAUFTON, JULY 3.—The Rest India and China mails
were dispatched this day in the Oriental Company's steam-
packet Montru..`e AS far as Malta, from whence they will be
transmitted by the Iberia steamer to Alexandria, and the
Montrose proceed on hqr voyage to Constantinople. She has
a full cargo of bale goods and a number of passengers. The
Royal West India mail packet Tweed left the docks yester-
day with the Mexican and West India mails, 580 bottles of
quicksilver, and a full cargo of stores and packages on the
company's account.
ESCAPE FROM Dnowanac.—About eleven o'clock
on Wednesday night Huddart, a post-boy employed by Mr.
Foster, of the Crown Hotel, Penrith, and a young woman of
the name of Raine, a native of Penrith, together with a
pair of horses, moat miraculously escaped being drowned in
the river Lamont, about a mile from Penrith. It appears
that Huddart had been out with a carriage and four, and on
returning to Penrith attempted to cross the river above the
bridge, for the purpose of washing the carriage and the
horses. The stream, however, being much swollen from the
late heavy rains, carried the horses off their feet, and the
cayriage was taken down under the front arch, and alighted
against the abutment of the bridge. The horses were cut
loose from the carriage by the postboy, who sacceeded in
getting them and himself out of the water, leaving the
young woman, who screamed for help, in the carriage, which
was nearly tilled with water. The night was very dark, and
the only person who was up in the village was Mr. Richard
Ralph, the landlord of the Welcome-Here-in-Cumberland
Inn, who lost no time in procuring ropes, and on reaching
the spot he found Miss Raine had got out of the carriage,
and was sitting on the top, which was just out of the water,
A man then came up, who fastened one of the ropes round
him, and taking another, plunged into the swollen stream,
and swam to the carriage, when he fastened the rope round
Mies Raine, and she was dragged out through the water.
On landing she was in a most exhausted condition, but is
likely to recover in the course of a few days.
LORD WARD'S HEAD GAMEKEEPER Sitor.—On
Tut %day last Mr. Xorri 4, head gamekeeper to Lord Ward,
was ,shot in the preserves at Hanley, near Dudley, b; an
wake gamekeeper of the name of Hall, whom Mr. Norris
bad just rebuked fur having dogs with him in the preserves,
whert• the game was very young. A portion of Norris's
left aim was blown to pieces, and a quantity of shot lodged
in his ,aide, next to his heart. Hall left Norris in this state,
but haring told two men in an adjoining field that he had
shot Norr:s, they repaired to the spot, and had the wounded
man cormayed home. Yesterday Norris's depositions were
taken, and ne now lies without hope of recovery.
