CAB ACCIDENT ON LONDON-BRlDGE.—Yestcrlay
morning Charles Allen, a cabman was conveying two gen-
tlemen to the railway station, when the horse took fright,
and started off at a furious pace, upsetting the cab on Lon-
don-bridge, and seriously injuring the driver, who was con-
veyed to St Thomas's Hospital in an insensible state. The
gentlemen only sustained slight injuries.
THE WEATHER AROUND WINDERMERE.—For
some days back we have had nothing but dark, rainy, bois-
terous weather, melting the thick-laid snow of Bowfell,
Langdale Pikes, and Fairfield; and the surrounding rills
have become noisy currents, the becks maddened streams,
the rivers headlong torrents, the Brathay and the Rotbay
more than bank-full, vieing with each other in rapidity,
while the gully from the Pikes appears at a distance like
•
rolling snow, till all lose their angry impetuosity in the pro
found depths of Lake Windermere. Its waters are now
swollen to an enormous extent, covering many acres of
meadow land at different places, and affording a most mag-
nificent sight from any elevated position.—Westmoreland
Gazette. _

Tho details of the force to be sent under Sir J.
Hope Grant to China between this and March are being
arranged in India. We believe it will consist of eight Eu-
ropean regiments, of which four—the Ist Royals, 2d Batt.;
2d Royals, Ist Batt. ; 3d Buffs, Ist Batt. ; and 67th are in
China, or on their way thither, and two each are to come
from Madras and Bombay respectively-4,000 Sikhs, two
regiments of irregular cavalry, and one of European cavalry,
with eight troops and batteries of artillery. Rumour asserts
that either the King's Dragoon Guards, or 7th Hussars,
will be the cavalry regiment sent ; and that the 31st and
66th Regiments from Bombay, and the 44th and 66th from
Madras, will complete the infantry force.—Anny an Navy
Gazetts.

Hall, Oxford, incumbent of St. James's Church,

personal religion in that plain and impressive lan-
guage which conainces the hearers that he has a
message of infinite importance to deliver worthy of

verse of the 3d chapter of Zechariah. The Rev.
