STEAM-BOAT LA UNClL—Yesterday after-
noon a great number of persons were assembled in the
Union Dock, at Limehouse, to witness the launch of a
steam-boat, intended to be run between London and
Gravesend. At full tide every preparation was finished,
and a young lady having christened it " The Esex," by
dashing a bottle of wine on the boat, the last string was
cut, and the vessel glided beautifully into the water amid
the firing of cannon and the cheers of thousands of persons.
Many of the vessels in the river were decked out in their
colours. The steam-boat is made upon an improved prin-
ciple, and the boilers and apparatus are much lighter, at
the same time equally secure with those of other steam-
boats. The boi!er, which was raised by a crane of im-
mense power placed on the engineers' quay (Messrr.
SEW an) several feet above the ground, so that the boat
might come alongside and take her boiler, Ike., in without
delay. The new boat will carry 500 passengers with ease,
and is of seventy-horse power. The day was exceedingly
fine, and that part of the river where the launch took place
was all gaiety. No accident occurred.

A NEW INVENTED CONVEYANCE FOR
HEAVY Goons.—Yesterday morning a number of per-
sons assembled in the New-road to witness the exhibition
of a new invented carriage, belonging to WH.LIAx WIL-
BERFORCE, Esq., of St. John's Wood Farm, St. Maryle-
bone, for conveying heavy commodities with half the
usual quantity of horses. The machine is named the
Nondescript, and is the invention of Mr. Wm. SNOW, of
Wandsworth-road ; the wheels are seven feet in height,
and the body of the cart, or waggon, is suspended from the
axle-tree. .There are many conveniences arising from this
invention that far surpasses the present mode of conveying
heavy goods. From the lowness of the body of the ma-
chine, it is loaded in a quarter of the time that the present
ones are, and unloaded in proportion. There is another
great improvement—should the shaft horse have an acci-
dent t:4 fall with a load of two or three tons weight, there
would not one ounce rest on the animal, which will be the
means of saving many valuable horses in elms of acci-
dentally falling with heavy loads. By this new invented
machine there were upwards of double the weight. and
quantity of grains drawn, and with half the quantity of
horses that the present mode requires. On the whole it
seemed to give universal satisfaction, and appeared to answer
every point.

On Thursday evening the Godahning coach
came into Guilf,:rd about the usual time, at a moderate
pace, without a coachman or a single outside papenger.
The horses were stopped opposite the White Hart inn, by
the judicious endeavours of several persons, and four ladies
taken from the inside, quite unconscious of the danger they
had escaped. It appeared that about midway between
Ripley and Guilford, the coachman was thrown off the-
box, in consequence of something having startled the
horse., and the outside passengers scrambled elf while the
coach was going on, we are happy to say without material
injury. No blame whatever can be atttibuted to the
coachman, who bears an excellent character.

DREADFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday morn-
ing a shocking and fatal accident took place at the East
India warehouse. JOHN EDWARDS, a middle-aged man,
was employed in one of the tea-lofts removing some chests
of tea, in order to lower them by a crane to a waggon in
the yard. He was in the third-floor loft, a height of up-
wards of sixty feet from the ground, and after affixing the
chests to the rope attached to the crane, he was in the act
of pushing them off, when his foot slipped, and he was
precipitated head-foremost to the stones. Several of the
workmen on the premises proceeded immediately to his as-
sistance, and found the unfortunate man in a deplorable
state. He was conveyed without delay to a surgeon's in
the neighbourhood, who rendered him every assistance, and.
ordered that he should be instantly taken to St. Bartholo-
mew's Hospital, but he expired shortly after his arrival.

DA RING ROBBERY.—At an early hour
yesterday morning, one of those disgraceful scenes of
plunder and riot took place in Eagle-court, White Hart-
yard, Drury-lane, which has for years distinguished that
sink of every thing that is polluted and infamous. It ap-
pears, that some of the unfortunate females who live there
by prostitution and plunder enticed three young men, in a
state of intoxication, into one of those dens kept by a Jew;
and after remaining there some time, and having some-
thing to drink, the foolish fellows discovered that they
were robbed—two of them of their watches, and all of
them of their money, amounting to nearly twelve pounds.
An instant fight and riot took place between the sufferers
and the people of the house, and others of the same call-
ing who came to their assistance, which ended in the three
young men, after a good beating, being ejected out of the
house at another door than the one by which they entered. '
By the time they were enabled to procure the aid of
watchmen belonging to that district, the persons robbed
could not identify the house where the robbery was com-
mitted ; and the brothel-keepers therefore escaped, as is
too often the case in that place with perfect impunity and
the plunder.
