COVE OF CORK, JUNE S.—The whole of the
Irish squadron, consisting of the Pearl, Nimrod,
• Orestes, Trinculo, Pylades, Dispatch, Procris, and
t9O
Pike, have, since the 11th tilt, had several experi,
- mental trials of sailing, in which the Pearl
has certainly had the superiority ; the Nimrod
- and Orestes ranked next ; the two latter vessels are
nearly equal, though the Orestes can carry sail
better, having more stability. The other sloops,
although good of their class, cannot compete with
the three first. With the exception of the Pylades
and Pike, the whole were able to carry through a
very strong whole topsail breeze, without complain-
ing much. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Sir Charles
Paget, who is so eminently qualified to decide on
the respective properties of the ships, had his flag

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-011 Wednesday
night last, just after the Bristol mail had changed horses
at Speenhainland (Newbury), and the driver• and guard'
were about to mount the coach, the animals suddenly
started off at full speed on the Reading road. There was
only one inside passenger in the coach, a gentleman, we
have heard, connected with one of the Bristol banks, and
he being dreadfully airtned, threw himself front the door
into the road. Unhappily he fell on his head, and received
so much injury, that he died soon afterwards. The horses.
stopped themselves a short distance from the town, imiced:t
before they had cleared the outskirts.
