a very spirited charger, which, starting instantly at
lull speed into Upper Berkeley-street, got upon the
footpath, and Mr. WILLS not being able to contioul
the animal, which plunged in a desperate manner, he
was thrown with tremendous force against the area
railings, and the animal then dated off, very much

was insensible. Ott being conveyed to a surgeon, both
legs and his left arm were found broken, and his skull
fractured. He was carried home in this dreadful state,

place on board the Atholl steampacket, just as she

among its coils, %%hen, in consequence of a strong tide
'driving the vessel rapidly up and straining the warp,
she poor fellow's leg was severed from his body, and
thrown to some distance in the river. The boy received
every assistance from those on board, and was speedily
conveyed to the Infirmary, where he underwent ampu-
tation above the knee, and is now in a fair way of re-
covery. The lad's buoyancy of spirits never forsook
him. When they were conveying him from the shore,
