FATAL ACCIDENT iv THE EDINEURCH MAIL.—A 4 the Edin-
burgh Mail, on its road to that city, was passing Sunderland
bridge, between Durham and H u shy ford, about three in the after-
noon of Saturday se'nnight, the coachman observed a man on
horseback attempting also to pass the bridge, although it is ex-
tremely narrow. The coachman, therefore, finned his horses
with a view to pass first, and in so doing, made more haste than
good speed. There were three ou:,ide and three inside passen-
gers, and, in the hurry of the driver, the coach was thrown
against one of the battlements of the bridge. Two of the out-
side passengers were sitting on the top of the coach, and one
along with the coachman, on his box ; the former were dashed
into the valley below, a fall of twenty-five feet, and one of them,
Mr. Donaldson, a cattle-dealer, from near Perth, was killed on
the spot, whiist the other, Mr. Whitaker (the person who, along
with Mr. Craven, built Ouse bridge, in York), lingered till seven
the same evening, and then expired. The guard was throw:t
across the battlements of the bridge, and bad a most miraculous
escape. The coachman and the Gt iitleman who sat with him,
both escaped without the slightest injury, as did also all the
inside passengers.
