SHOCKING ACCIDENT TO THE CHESTER
MAIL.-Yesterday, as the Chester mail was on its road
to London, when near Welford,
Northamptonshire, about
nine o'clock in the evening, the horses took fright, and the
mail was overturned with a dreadful concussion. Several
of the passengers were severely injured ; one gentleman, a
Mr. EDGERTON, in the inside, was thrown with such force
' against the top of the coach that his brains were dashed
out, and he was killed on the spot. Another gentleman is
so shockingly injured, that his life is despaired of. The
' coachman was obliged to be left on the road, as he too was
severely injured. We have not yet heard the cause of this
*idol caultroplic.
