VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.)
The business before his Honour this morning was entirely
unimportant.

FATAL ACCIDENT FROM MACHINERY AT EDIN.
BURGH...-. On Saturday morning an accident of a very painful
nature occurred in the glass-works of Mr. Ford, at the south
back of the Canon ate. While a troy about 15 years of age,
named Adam M'Cosh, was engaged in some of his usual oc-
cupations, he, by some means, got entangled with the machi-
nery. His left, arm was seized by a wheel -band ; and he was
pulled up till he came in contact with the wheel, when the
arm was literally to: n off, and the poor lad fell to the ground,
and in a few minutes after expired.
THE SLATE TRADE.—A considerable increase has
taken place during the last half-year in the export of slate
from the various quarries in North Wales, a circumstance at-
tributed to the repeal of the brick duty causing an impetus
to the erection of houses. From the port of Carnarvon
alone the exports for the last half-year have been 61,400
tons, being an increase of 11,000 tons over the prior half-
year, and for the month of February the shipment has been
to the extent of 6,200 tons. In other ports a large increase
is apparent.
RETURNING SENSE.—Mr. Leach, of Manchester,
;teed at a Chart ist soirée at Sheffield lately, that " he had
spent eighteen of the best years of his life in speech-making,
but he would be sorry to waste the next eighteen years with-
out making a more sensible and manly effgort towards doing
good."
