Tuesday evening, as— ANoEnsox, E,q. late of
the Civil Service at Madras, was returning, to town, together with
his Lady in a light tilbury, some person within the hedge at the
road-side, not far front Saffron Walden, discharged a gun, the re-
port of which startled the horse so much, that it ran off at full
speed; after running for nearly 300 yards without interruption,
the he;se diverged front the centre of the road, and the near
wheel coming in contact with a mound of earth, the chaise was
thrown over against the hedge, and Mr. Anderson, who was in
the act of leaping out, had fallen on the horse, and escaped with
very trifling injury. His Lady, however, was not so fortunate ;
when the vehicle was turned over ►he was buried beneath it, and
part of the principal spring, which was cracked by the concussion,
was literally forced througlt her habit, stays, and under garments,
and made a deep incision between the fourth and fifth t ibs en
the right side; her face too was sadly bruised, and she was extri-
cated front her melancholy situation to all appearance lifeless. By
the help of some men front a neighbouring cottage, the lady
was removed on a litter to the house of Mr. Gascoyne, where
a Surgeon assisted the sufferer through a premature and dangerous
acconchcntent ; it is unnecessary to add, that the infant was still-lioru

the rioters, when, unfortunately, a young man, named
Adam Smyth, a Protestant, was killed. The Ribbonmen
fled in all directions.

At the same time that the body of Mr. Ptcnec was
found in the float at Bristol, that of Farmer Bruits's, of
Long Ashton, who was drowned about ten o'clock on
the preceding evening, was taken out of the river, and

DRURY-LANE TIMATRE:

77ze Hypocrite was performed last night; with one
change in the distribution of the parts; by which an old
favourite of the Public was introduced to them atter a
long absence from the regular boards. We allude to
Mr. OYC KRIM, who appeared on this occasion as 3/a:u-
m:inn. lie was greeted in a very cordial manner on
first coming forward, and a general laugh at his sane.:
tified aspect, spewed how capable he was of looking the
character at least. The cant so successfully and broadly
ridiculed by the writer was not thrown away upon the
performer. He exhibited the devotee to the life. A
strong effort was made to encore his last address, or
rather denunciation against the enemies of the pions
Doctor, who were base enough to expose him; but Mr.
OxnEntßY had the good sense to coincide with those who
objected to its repetition, although they were evidently
but a small minority. Upon the whole his exertions
were calculated to satisfy the most scrupulous critic,
that though the English Stage has but one Doctor Cant-
well, it is secute of two Matutvorms, while Mr. Oxisuit ItY
and Mr. LISTON continue to give it their support.
