PERILOUS ADVENTURE OF THE DUKE OF RUT-
LAND.—As his Grace was coming up from Belvoir Castle in
his close carriage and four, without lights, the night being
quite dark, the carriage came in contact with the Manchester
coach. By the concussion, the Duke's coachman was thrown
off the box, and the footman actually flew out of the ramble
behind ; fortunately neither were materially hurt, nor did the
carriage sustain any injury, except one of the wheels and the
splinter-bar. The body of the *Alanchester coach was much
injured, and the outside passengers were pitched off the roof,
hut none were materially hurt. The horses broke from their
traces and fled to Grantham.

ENCOURAGEMENT OF LITERATURE.—WC hive
heard, and with great satisfaction, that the present Ministers
intend to restore the pensions originally conferred on eminent
literary men througis the medium of the Royal Society of Li-
terature, and the 1 estrinption of which, after the death of its
founder, George IV., we ever deeply regretted. In one or
two cases, Dr. Jameson's and Mr. IViilling,en's, they were re-
stored by Earl Grey ; but we trust that there will be no selec-
tion now, and that all the Royal associates whom death has
spared to us (for Coleridge and Malthus are dead) will again
be distinguished and gladdened by this honourable grant.—

THE MEETING AT BALLYKELLY.—A memorial
having been forwarded by some of the parishioners of Tam-
laght Finlagan, to the Irish Government, respecting the man.
nor in which their anti-tithe meeting had been obstructed, an
order was most promptly forwarded to Capt. Crossly, of the
constabulary, directing him to make a formal inquiry into the
circumstances. The Captain in consequence intimated to the
parties that he would proceed with the investigation at Nn-Li-
mavady, on Thursday last. Accordingly, on that day, he ar-
rived at Nn-Limavady ' • and, after listening to the statements
made to him by several of the parishioners who had witnessed
the outrage, he stated that he would postpone the inquiry until
he received farther instructions from the Castle.—Derry Paper.
CAPE OF Goon HOPE.—The accounts received
from the Cape to the commencement of January are not of a
favourable character. They state that information had been
received from Graham's Town that great excitement prevailed
there in consequence of the attack made by the Caffres. It
appears that some of the patrols had gone into Caffroland in
order to regain some horses that had either strayed or had
been stolen, when the natives made some resistance, and
speared one of the patrol. Colonel Somerset and the frontier
authorities then resolved to clear the neutral ground of the Caf-
fress, and an attack had been made by the natives, in which
it is stated some of the English were killed. It was expected
that the natives would make an attack upon Graham's Town,
and preparations were going on to repel any offensive demon-
strations. • An order had been issued, calling upon all persons
in Graham's Town capable of bearing arms to be in readiness
should their services be required. At the date of the last ad-
vices from Graham's Town much excitement prevailed, but
not the least doubt was entertained that any attack of the
Caffres, would be repelled without difficulty. The natives
had, however, swept off many head of cattle, and done injury to The new system of apprenticeship worked well in
the colony.

Thcre is a decrease in the burials of the week end-
ing Feb. 24, as compared with that which preceded it, of 281.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT.— On Saturday last, as
the half-past one o'clock second class train was on its way
from_ Liverpool to Manchester, when near Newton, the engine,
by some accident, got off the rail, and by the concussion tho
two engineers were thrown under the engine ; one of the poor
fellows was killed on the spot, his head being actually severed
from his body; and the other, after lingering in great agony,
died.the next morning.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE BY A GIRL.-On Sa-
tu7day an Inquest was held at the \Venlock Arms, Wenlock-
road, Shoreditch, on the body of Emma Bell, aged thirteen.
Jane Jones, aged seventeen, a tambour-worker, apprenticed to
Mr. Angus, of No. 5, Wenlock.road, said that the deceased,
who was an orphan, Was her fellow-apprentice. She always
appeared in a state of melancholy, and when any one attempted
to cheer her up, she said that the death of her father precluded
her from enjoying any happineSs, and she only thought of end-
ing her existence by lying down in the canal. To such an
extreme did she carry these melancholy thoughts, that she in-
variably burst into tears when any. of the apprentices were
visited by their parents. On 'Wednesday night she suddenly
left the room, and cas not heard a till next morning, when
she was fouad in the canal. The deceased, it appeared, was
always treated? on account of her forlorn situation, with marked
kindness. Verdict—Found drowned.
INCENDIARISM IN ES*SEX.—At Toppesfield, in
Essex, there has lately been a dreadful incendiary fire, by
which was destroyed the entire property, consisting of farming
stock and produce, amounting. to 500/., no part of which was
insured, of Mr. Isaac Davie, a respectaMe farmer, and of late
a very active and resolute constable of the parish, to which
latter cause there is no doubt this malicious deed is to be attri-
buted. As Mr. Davie must have fallen a victim to this fiend-
ish act, and been compelled to leaVe the farm upon which he
was born, unless he had been so fortunate as to sheet with the
sympathy of those who are able and willing to assist him in his
misfortune, assubscription has been set on foot by the clergy-
man- of the parish, the Rev. Mr. Gooch, son of Sir Thomas
Gooch, Bart., so long M. P. for Suffolk, and who was pre-
sented to the living by his Grace the Duke of Wellington.
This Rev. Gentleman, it gives us great pleasure to say, has
contributed the munificent donation of fifty guineas. Most of
the neighbours in Toppesfield and the adjacent parishes have
subscribed from Si. to IL each ; a' day labourer of the parish
has subscribed a sovereign ; the county Members, it is under-
stood, will send contributions to the fund, and there is every
reason to hope that an industrious and worthy man will be
rescued from the ruin to which the hand of• the incendiary
would otherwise have reduced the much-respected object of
his revenge.
On Tue:day about three o'clock in the afternoon,
an awful visitation of Divine Providence occurred in New-
street, which caused considerable sensation in that neighbour-
hood. A man named Moriarty, (as we have been informed),
a native of the county Cork, when in the act of walking up
New- street, to all appearance in the enjoyment of perfect
health, was suddenly seized with a violent fit of coughing,
through the intensity of which, a bloOd-vessel burst, and the
ill-fated man discharged a large quantity of blood from his
mouth—hc fell on his side and was a corpse in a few minutes.
