THOSE WHO RUN MAY REAL).----GLASGOW:--
One of Messrs. Lyon; Croat, and Co.'s coaches, the Enterprise,
arrived here • on Wednesday evening, at half-past nine, brilliantly
lighted the whole wiry from Edinburgh with portable gas, sup—
plied by the Portable Gas Company, of the latter city ; and she
left this again yesterday at four o'clock, for Edinburgh, lighted in
the same manner. This is the first coach that has been lighted
with gas in Siotland ; and as it has had the desired effect, the
proprietors intend having it more completely fitted up, the present
trial having been by way of experiment.-- Okegow Chronicle.

DA it K NESS.—Yesterday was one of the darkest
days which has been witnessed in Glasgow for many years. For
several hours during the middle part of the.day the darkness was
so great that candles, and gas when it could be obtained, were
lighted in our Exchange Rooms, and in every shop and counting-
house in tle city. The atmosphere was cloudy and calm, with
drizzling rain. The barometer, which had been gradually rising
for several days preceding, stood at 30. 3. Such phenomena at
this season of the year, are very frequently the precursors of settled
frosty weather.--- Glasgow Paper.
Du NKELD, Dxc. 21.—One of the moat' deplorable
accidents that ever happened in this quarter, occurred last night.
As the Caledonian coach was coming down•the brae a little above
Putney, near the place called Duncan Hog's Hole, the hook or
tackle in front of the pole gave way, and the horses ran off. The
coach, from the want of the pole, became unmanageable. A per-
son of the name of W. Robertson, a painter, who war sitting be-
side the coachman, laid hold of the reins next him. This had the
effeet of drawing the horses ten suddenly to one side, and the
coach.nput. Poor Robertson fell on a dyke on the side of the
rain!, a stone piercing his forehead above the right eye, lie was
killed on the spot. Donald M'lntosh, the guard, who was on the
back dicky, was also thrown on the dyke, and had his skull frac-
tured so dreadfully that he died to-day. He hail been connected
with the coach for these Mae years, and has left a wife, and several
children. Robertson is generally regretted. Several of the pas-
sengors were hurt, one lady severely. Au investigation into the
circumstances that led to this melancholy catastrophe has been
partly gone into to-slay, and so far as it lumprocceded, has been in
favour of the driver..--Caledonian Mercury.
