PROVIDENTIALk
On Monday, at half-past ten "S'ciocit; e
leaves at seven o'clock in the morning-,tliet‘ met tfi iirful
gi eich -
accident near Carlow, from which five passengers bad a most
providential escape. It appears that after receiving the
mail bags at the above hour, the horses started front
the Carlow coach-office at a rapid pace, the coach-
man letting them go at full speed. On turning round
the sharp corner in Dublin-street, the horses became
unmanageable, and ran with the • coach right a-bead
towards a deep quarry hole, off the main road, in which
there are 15 feet of stagnant water. The coachman lost, all
command over the horses, and throwing away his whip; he
endeavoured to hold them with both hands, but in vain. The
horses went over the parapet and down a depth of about 14
feet, and but for the mercy of Providence and the strength of
the pole, the passengers would have been killed en the spot—
for the pole, when the horses went over, sustained for a
few moments nearly the entire weight of the coach, and en-
abled some of the
.passengers to leap off, and who escaped
with very trifling injury. Not so, however, two others-;-.Sir
Nugent Humble, and a Mrs. Ralph, of Navan, both: fell
under the coach, and when drawn out were for a few minutes
insensible. Dr. Rawson, of the County Infirmary, was pro-
videntially on the spot when the accident occurred, and was
promptly in attendance. Sir N. Humble was removed to the
Club house, and we learn by private letter that he has escay
with a few bruises ; but it was deemed advisable to keep hint
quiet for a day or two, when he will be perfectly recovered. Mrs.
Ralph received no external injury, but being encieate, she
was taken up in a weak state, and removed to the Infirmary,
where she received every degree of care and attention, and
it is to be hoped will be enabled to proceed in a few (Lys.
Mr. W. Callaghan, of this city, was one :of the passengers,
and he escaped unhurt, having leaped off before the reach
went entirely over. The coachman, guard, and coach-
agent, a Mr. Duffey, escaped with a few bruises, having
leaped into the water off the coach when in the act
of tumbling over. Thus have the lives of several persona
been providentially spared by the interposition of liiyiee
Providence—for a correspondent describes the escape as
miraculous. Three of the horses, we learn, were blind, and
the fourth was an ungovernable brute, which should
not have been put in harness. We believe- that some blame
is attachable to the coachman, for letting the horses get into
too rapid a pace ; and when he Wile in view of the quarry
he lost all control over them. It is not creditable to the

LONDON SOCIETY FOR THE PRO-
TECTION OF YOUNG FEMALES.
Of the numerous estimable institutions whose benevolent
exertions tend to increase the comfort and prosperity ef the
humbler clasees, there is not one possessing stronger -dents
upon society than the above institution. The appalling sta-
tistical details which have been lately published by Dr.
Edgar, under the auspices of this society, demonstrate but
too clearly the absolute necessity for such an institution, and
the beneficial results which it has already accomplished
speak loudly in its favour.
The anniversary festival which took place yesterdayat the
London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street, was attended by
nninerous and influential body of gentlemen. The chair-
was taken by Mr. David Wire, supported by theitev. David
Laing, Mr. -Goblin, &c. After the usual routine of toasts,
the amount of subscriptions was read over by the Secre-.
tary, amongst which may be noticed her Majesty the Queue
Dowager, 25/. ; a legacy of 2001. by Mr. G. Somers,. sub-
scriptions fr,,ni a A. D. N., 50/. ; Duchess of Cleveland, 10/. ;
Lord Manvers, 20/. ; B. B. Cabbell, Esq., 20/. ; Luke Hansard,

10/. ; Lord Lake, 10/. • Sir P. Glyn, 10/.,
The total amount Of the subscriptions was 1,605/., an an,
nouncement which was received with general satisfaction by
the assembled company.
We may here state that the Bill brought into the House of
Lords by the Bishop of Exeter fur the protection of young
females will be read a second time on the 13;h inst.. 'We un-
derstand it has been prepared by eminent counsel, under the
superintendence of Lord Brougham, and his Lordship will
give it every support.

SENTENCE ON MR. O'CONNELL..

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. .
SlR,—The feeling produced in the minds of all men here
not blinded by partyrage, upon the receipt of the news of the
frightful sentence passed upon Mr. O'Cormell and his co-
vi,tims (for such they are HOW regarded), sterns to bc
that of unmixed horror. And the questions put by all per-
sons with whom I have come in contact is—what is to be
done? Are we to etacd by and tamely submit to have 411 our
feelings of right and justice outraged, without protesting in
the name of our common country against this attempt to
crush a political opponent, without protesting in the name of
our beloved Queen against this attempt to endanger her without protesting in the name of the IlritiA
Constitution against this attempt to destroy the great bul-
wark of British freedom—the right of public meeting? Per-
haps, Sir, the histor7 of onr country affords no similar-
instance of a State trial being conducted by the same Dreams,.
or with the same feelings. If we trace them from their
commencement to their conclusion, we shall find the same
vindictive feeling seeming to pervade the whole and every
part of it. The Government may rest assured that, hove :.
ever much they may fancy they have put down the repeal
cry in Ireland, it will be raised in England with irresistible
force, hundreds in this town, who have heretofore been op-
posed to a repeal of the Legislative Union, are only waiting
for an opportunity of enrolling themselves members of an
Ei'glish Repeal Association as soon as such an one shall Le:
formed. I trust, in conclusion, that should the decision er
the House of Lords upon the writ of error be unfavourable tie
the traversers, that a penny subscription will be raised ex-
clusively by the English people, for the purpose of paying
the whole of the fines imposed upon the whole of the pri-
soners, and I will not imagine an insult to them by doubt-
ing for a moment that it would be raised immediately..
Thank God, Birmingham will do its duty to a patriot, and tee
its own high reputation.—l remain yours, respectfully,
Birmingham, June 3, 1844. G. X.

THE ASSOCIATED CATHOLIC CHARITIES..—ThiS
Association celebrated its 23d anniversary at the Freemasons'
Tavern yesterday. The chair was taken at about six o'clock
by Lord E. Howard, who was supported by the Right Rev.
lir. Collier, Titular Bishop of the Mauritius, Lord Carney.%
the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, M.P., Sir R. Throcknaorton,.
Bart., Mr. A. H. Lynch, M.P., Mr. Scott Murray, M.P., and;
other influential Catholic gentlemen and priests. The ens,
ternary toasts were given and responded to, and the Rim
J. Harrington, in his appeal on behalf of the charities, ad-
verted to their origin respectively and subsequent associa-
tion in 1811; he traced their gradual and succeasful progrees
up to the present time, and stated that there were now 1;336
children enjoying the sheltering protection afforded by the
means placed at the disposal of the Committee. Since the
last report eight orphans had been elected into the asylum,
three had been apprenticed, and others would be put out so.
soon as eligible masters could be obtained. Clothing had
been presented to 408 children during the year, and alto-
gether the Committee had every reason to believe that their
report would be considered highly favourable. The Rey. Gen-
tleman continued at some length to urge upon the attention
of the meeting the claims of the Association, for which a
collection was subsequently made, and the sum of 4931. raised
in the room. In the course of the evening the children receiving
the benefit of the charities were introduced Oa the meeting,.
to the number of about 1,200, and walked in procession rouncdt
the room. Dr. Collier read a letter from the ilon. E. Petre,
the Treasurer, in which he stated that, while at Rome, he
presented the last and preceding reports of the Society to His
Holiness, who was graciously pleased to receive the same,
and to assure him " that the charities bad his benediction,
and his best wishes for the prosperity and happiness, both
spiritual as well as temporal, of all its members.' The pro-
ceedings of the evening were agreeably enlivened by the
vocal services of Miss Lacombe, Miss Betts, Messrs. Leffler,
Young, Hatton, Fitzwilliam, and J. L. Hatton, the litter of
whom presided at the piano. The chairman and most of the,
company left at half-past ten o'clock.
A NARROW ESCAPE.—Mr. Batty's van was dri‘,en
through Dublin yesterday, with twenty-eight horses in r
On turning the short corner of Parliament-street into risme-
street, one of the horses, about the centre of the testra came
in contact with the large granite block which protects the
lamp post in front of Shades music-shop, and so violent was
the concussion that the driver and the person sitting beside him
were thrown with great violence on the flagway, some of the
passengers precipitated with force upon the pavement, and
several of the bandsmen jumped clean out of the. vehicle..
Fortunately there were a sufficient number of grooms awl]
helpers in attendance, who had presence of mind enough to
rush at the horses' heads, and in time sufficient to prevent
their starting off. Had it been otherwise, and that the
animals had dashed away at speed—a thing .most likely to
have occurred—hundreds of lives might have been lost ; for
the contemplation of such an event as eight •and-tvuentyi
horses scouring narrow streets with a heavy vehicle at Oita.?
heels, and without a driver, is terrific. None of the patties
were seriously hurt ; and after some delay in splicing and
mending—the whole traffic and passage through Parlia-
ment-street being in the meanwhile interrupted—the driver
remounted his box and again recommenced his perilous
career.—Dublin Evening

THE WEATHER AND CROPS IN bCOTLAND.—:Che
wind is still from the cold north-east, and although tb,ere is
generally bright sunshine during the day, the atmosphere
in the shade and at night, is cold, chilly, and wits egg. The
drought is most intense ; so mueh so, that tie bed of the
water of Leith between Stockbridge and Cannonmills is quite:
dry—every river and stream has shrunk into miserable di--
mensions, and many of the hill-burns have altogether,
appeared. Pastures are suffering wofully, and are beton:iv
both bare and brown. The hay crop, which from the =-
unusual abundance of clover, gave promise of a heay.A
swathe, will now be a light one. Barley and oats are Vt&
suffering, and unless speedily relieved by a copious. 114
rain, will be both stunted and thin on the ground., 'Wheat
alone has weathered it out, and, except in a few sitos.tiona oa
thin and light soils, is superior in all respects to the ordinary
sverage at this season of the year. Petateea look well, and
are broad in, the leaf, and of a healthy Dolour. A consider-
able breadth has been sown with turnips, warmly any
