BERLIN AUGUST 26.—During the visit of the King
to one of the Silesian Spas, a circumstance is said, on
good authority, to have taken place, which, to prevent
misrepresentation, requires further communication.
Among the number of persons who flocked• from all
quarters, and who testified the most sincere loyalty
and attachment to his Majesty, there appeared, it is
said, a man in female attire, who attracted general
attention by his gigantic stature, and took advan •
tage of an opportunity to mix some shameful and
disrespectful words with the general acclamations.
He was arrested on the spot, and proved to be a cri-
minal from the House of Correction.
On the 22d the documente respecting the treason-
able attempt of Tschech were laid before the tribunal
to pass sentence. His counsel, M. Valentin, repre-
sents his client as insane, and on that account re-
quires his entire acquittal.

ACCIDENT ON VAUXHALL- BRIDGE. —On Friday
morning, as a young man was driving a valuable young
horse, in a light cart, over Vauxhall- bridge, the horse
suddenly shied at two large stones lying near the pave-
ment, swerved on one side, and threw the driver. The
horse then started off at full speed, when the gate-
keeper closed the gate, which the poor animal endea-
voured to clear, but, owing. to the dead weight behind,
fell back with great force on the iron spikes with which
the gate is studded, two of the spikes entering the under-
jaw, and lacerating it in a dreadful manner. The poor
creature commenced plunging violently, smashing the
vehicle, and at length succeeded in disengaging hims If
from the spikes, which were much bent, the whole of
the under jaw being literally flayed, and the throat and
