two drays, by which both the shafts of the cart were
broken, and the driver thrown out with great violence.
The horse had one of his hoofs forced off just by the
fetlock, and was obliged to be killed immediately.
Sunday, George James, nephew and apprentice to
Mr. George Hastie, stone-mason, of Nottingham,
went to see an aged relation at Stanton, by Staple-
ford, where he spent the day. About five o'clock in
the evening, as he was on the point of betting out on
his return home, he imprudently ascended a walnut-
tree, from which he slipped and fell, and was so much
injured that, although medical aid was speedily pro-
cured, he languished till six o'clock the next morning,
and then expired. He was in his eighteenth year.
The report which the wags are circulating, that the
fire at our Office, on Thursday evening last, originated
in the spontaneous combustion of a number of poli-
tical articles is totally destitute of foundation. We
do not deal in such dangerous ware. The truth is,
that our "devil" was endeavouring to purify a num-
ber of communications by fire, but not being care.
ful enough of the process, the flames unfortunately
spread to a number of poems in manuscript (the'
collection of the last two years), which, by reason
of the spirit contained in them, made a fine crack-
ling blaze, and finally exhaled in Ames etherial.—
They went off in a most glorious smoke, but burnt so
furiously at first as to scorch the wainicuting of the
room, and burnt a hole through the Boor. We trust
our poetical friends will now see the propriety of not
burdening us in future with so many original *rses.
We always considered the% very dangerous articles.

PEDESTRIANISM.
Yesterday morning, a match, which excited vety great interest
at the Club Houses, and upon which there was heavy betting,
was decided on the Kilbern-road. Captain SMITH. well knowri
in the sporting world as a good pedestrlin, undertook to run five
miles in thirty minutes for a stake of Sol. pay or play, and time
for the favourite at odds. He started at eight o clock front
Maids-hill, a mile in and out, and finally performed the match,
not having even a second to spare. The umpire and time-keeper
declared, that the distance had been fairly performed in the
stated time, which had the effect of settling all murmurs as to
the bets. The Captain was greatly fatigued.

Henry Andrews, Esq. of Shrewsbury, while on It
sporting excursion on Saturday. last, at the Park near
Oswestry, met with a fatal accident. About four in
the afternoon, having discharged one barrel of a
double gun, he was reloading it, when his knee having
touched the trigger, the other barrel went off, and
lodged the contents in his head, and caused his in&
scant death. The deceased had served in most of the

battles during the Peninsular war, and had received

several wounds.

This morning, about six o'clock, a woman, known
at Billingsgate by the name of Young Sall, in passing
the Borough side of London Bridge, was knocked
down by a cart, driven by a butchers boy at a most
furious rate; the woman received so much injury,
that she was taken up in an insensible state, and col-.*
veyed home with little hopes of recovery.
As Joseph Coulson, servant to Mr. John Turner, of
Bushill, Yorkshire, w.:s going to Hull, on Mcnlay
morning last, between two and three o'clock, he was
stopped between Newbald and Hunsley, by three
men ; one seized his bridle, another attempted to pull
him off, but he leaped from his horse, knocked the
man down, and remounted, expecting he had got
clear off; but they crossed an angle of the road near
Hunsley, and came up with him again, dragged him
from-his horse, robbed him of his watch, £l9 19s.
and stabbed him several times in the breast with *
bather's knife. He heard one of them ay, " D—n
him, don't spare the knife!" During the struggle,
his horse got away, and they heard the :Animal's leet,
which caused them to leave the man for a time, stir.

posing some person was coming ; when tley foind the
mistake they returned, most likely to fittilt the bloody
deed, but he had crept a little out of the road behind
a bush, and they missed him. He now lies dan-
gerously ill at Little \Veighton.
The attention of the Oxonians was on Saturday
attracted to a novel carriage which arrived in that city and ro-
cked universal attention. It proved to be the travelling carriage
of Mr. Tuarria,the celebrated Blacking Manulazturer, of Lon..
don. It is a four-wheeled carriage (invented by a Mr. JorixsoN)
which, though as neat and easy as a phaeton or curricle, from
having no iron springs, avoids the duty on spring carriages, by
coming under the appellation of a " stage-waggon," and as such
is regularly licensed at Somerset-House. The wheels are es.
tremely neat and light, with patent axletrees, and stand upright,
by which a considerable degree of friction is avoided. The
axletrees are iron : from the lder one, near the wheel, on each
side, is fixed a bar of lancewood ; these meet on the centre of
the fore axietree, and serve at once for connecting pole and
springs, the body of the carriage being poised in the middle of
them. The front axietree turns on a small circular plate, and
is neat and secure, though entirely without the framework in
the front of curricles and other carriages. The shafts, which
are of the cabriole construction, are immediately attached to the
axietree by joints. But the greatest novelty and advantage (if,
indeed, so ingenious an evasion of the duty be not of tantamount
importance) is the manner by which the horse, should he be
restive or run off, may be instantly detached from the carriage
by a simple operation of the driver. This is contrived, without
any sacrifice of neatness, or of ease to the horse or rider : the
traces are short; attached to each is a small plate of iron so
formed as to embrace three sides of the square shafts: through
the parallel sides of these irons is a hole, as there also is through
the shafts, to which they are consequently t y affixed by
means of an iron pin. Directly over this there is a curve or
bridge of brass screwed to the shaft ; through the top of this
arch a strap leads, fastened to the top of the pin, so as to pull it
straight out; when the pins are inserted another strap is put
through them in the manner of a linch-pin, to prevent them
from starting out; the straps are, at a convenient distance,
united, and lead along the shafts to the front of the carriage,
like a bridle, On pulling this, the straps that fasten the pins
below, being the shortest, disengage themselves; and the upper
ones then draw out the pins: the horse, with hit harness, is
thus at freedom in a moment; and the shafts, as the rein does
not draw along them further than is necessary to pull out tho
bolts, are, by the same operation raised from the ground.—
The whole machiue, which is neatly painted and decorated,
and is as handsome as any curricle. weighs only about Ile cwt.
and may be dragged about by # schoolboy. The body is the
same as that of a glg. In the frost, according to the Act, is
the far•famed owner's name, and the number of the waggon ;
and above it, in Mining, but not conspicuous letters, Is painted
what may 14 seen on the street corners of every town in Great
Britain. from the Land's End to Johnny Groat s House, is UN
Tummies Blacking."
