STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENTS.--Government has appointed
two gentlemen, Captain Pringle, R.E., and Josiah Parkes,
Esq., civil engineer, to inquire into and report upon the na-
ture, causes, and practitiable methods for the prevention of
accidents to life and property arising from explosions of
boilers, defective machinery, &c. in steam-vessels.—Perth
Courier.

COURSING MATCH.—There was a very large assemblage
of sportsmen, from various parts of the country, at Plas Teg,
Flintshire, on the 14th instant. Early in the morning the
ground selected for the sport presented a lively appearance,
which was considerably heightened by the vast number of
country people who were eagerly waiting to witness the sport.
The dogs turned out in " slapping" style, the runs were well
contested, and, as will be seen, the Welsh dogs proved that
they possessed superior metal to their English competitors.
The following is the result of the day's sport :—Mr. Aston's
Fly beat Mr. Bennett's Jim Crow ; Mr. Aston's Fly beat
Mr. Rennel's Go-by ; Wilson Jones's, Esq., M.P. Pekoe,
beat Mr. Catherall's black dog Bugle ; C. B. T. Roper's,
Esq. Lover beat Mr. Catherall's Guinea.—Chester Gazette.
GALLANT CONDUCT.—On Thursday last, one of the
guards of the Halifax mail, named Swan, distinguished him-
self by an act of courageous gallantry, which deserves to be
recorded. The mail was proceeding up Holywell-street,
when Mr. Swann perceived two ladies a little in advance of
him, one of whom accidentally dropped a small parcel, which
proved to contain a pair of shoes. At the same moment a
tall stout fellow, who was hawking door-mats, picked up the
parcel and quickly decamped with it down Devonshire-street.
To see the lady thus deprived of her property, was more than
our hero could brook; and instantly alighting, he pursued
the thief with the speed of thought, and brought him to his
bearings. Unwilling to surrender his prize, the " manufac-
turer" threw down his. mats, and stood on the defensive—a
piece of bravery which might not have been displayed, had
he not perceived a colleague in his calling fast approaching
the scene of action. Swann soon possessed himself of the
shoes, and gave both the fellows a sound drubbing,) notwith-
standing that one of them got his thumb in his mouth and
bit it dreadfully) and had much satisfaction in returning the
parcel to the ladies, who were greatly astonished and de-
lighted at the courage and promptitude of their volunteer
Champion.—Derbyshire Courier.
