Fine fresh herrings are now selling at Edinburgh

Sunday evening, a Brentford post-chaise, on its
return through Kensington Gore, was driven most
furiously and wantonly against a gig coming to lawn,
in which a Gentleman and his servant were seated.'
The former was thrown with great violence against
the wall of Kensington Gardens, and received several
.severe contusions : the latter, Snare sorry to say, fell
under the horse, which by its plunging mangled him
in a shocking manner, and he wartaken up almost
lifeless. The post-boy drove on at the same rate as
if nothing had halipened, although his pole and
spliA-
ter bar were broken by the violence of the shock.-6-
We need scarcely add; that the gig was shattered to
atoms. Both the Gentle Man and his servant shouted
to the post-boy before he came up to keep his own
side of the way, but in vain.

This morning, one of the Eieter And Plymouth
coaches, heavily laden, in passing through Hammet-
smith, on its way out of town, came down with
a tremendous crash, in consequence of the fore aile-
tree breaking. A sailor, who was on the outside, had
his arm broken, and was otherwise much lieerated
one female was taken up in asenseless state, dread-
fully bruised, if not actually killed. None of the
other passengers were hurt. The coach had previ-
ously run foul of the Hammersmith turnpike. and
poor Jack, after this, repeatedly assured the pilot
that the vessel was going crank to leeward, and would
soon founder : his prediction, however, was diSns-
garded by coacher; and, when the vehicle fell Overt
Jack had just manned his yards to meet the accidetee:
like a gallant seaman, by saving the 'female OK'S',
the crew, non which manly service he had his arm!,
shivered. He was conveyed to a neighbouring anti'
geon's to have his wounds dressed, and submitted to
a most painful examination of the wounded limb,
with the characteristic coolnete of his profession. .1
Saturday afternoon, the female prisoners confined!
in Cleikenwell Prison were dreadfully alarmed, by
one of the walls cracking, and threatening to bury'.
them in the ruins, owing to the adj"ining part of the
prison being pulled down for the purpose of being ets-
large. The Ga,)ler immediately went before the
.Grand Jury, who were then sitting, and informed
them of the danger of the prisoners, 116 women being
confined in that place,: there was no time to be lost
and to prevent danger, 56 of them, confined for smaU
offences., were ordered to be discharged, and the
other 60 were removed.
Wednesday 135 convicts were embarked at Ports-
mouth, for New South Wales, on board the ship
Fame, Captain lints; and, the next day, 116 were
sent to the Sir William Eitnsley, for the same Colony.
Those afterwards remaining on board the Portland
bulk, at Langston, were removed to the Captivity
and Laurel, in that harbour, it being intended to
break up the Portland. The Vblcatio takes 150 from
Portsmouth to the Bellerophon, at Sheerness. The
Fanie and Sir William &Miley will sail immediately.

Mr. Hercules Bradshaw., of Hillsborough, tiown‘,
shire, High Constable, having got information of a
person hiving committed a house robbery, at Hills-
borough, on the night of the 221 of August last,
after a Close pursuit, got bold of him. The fellow
finding himself warmly pursued, sat down on the
road, mid took out of his pbcket five forged bank-
notes, and ate them.

Instead of going flea, however, the man ran towards
the prisoner, and 'Filen said, la If you advance, I
will shoot ynal.' This he said two or three times,
adding, .4 I have a loaded pistol in my hand." The
deceased still ad6need, add the prisoner relied a
few paces. and then fired ; a • man felt, but -he said
he did not know whether he was dead or wounded.
Being requested by the prisoner, witness went with a
watchman into the yard, and founds than lying on
his back is the yard dead. .
,
Cross-examined.—*Tha deceased, to alstain admit-
tance into the yard, was obliged to descend three or
four feet of rubbish : except the place where this rub.
bids was, the yard was enclosed all round with build-
iagas the ra*ises had been robbed a short time be-
; fuer.. The deceased wet very deaf, but he must
lime seen the prisoner, because Tiflis had a lantern
in Ms hand. Vie prisoner told witness that he re-
tired as fast as he could towards his own house,_ but
fearing be should be cut off in his retreat, he fired.
He only fired in his own defence. When witness
went to the cart-house, he found a strange man there
apparently asleep.
Re.examined.—lt turned out upon inquiry, that
this strange Man had no connection with the deceased.
LThe prisoner had a dark lantern in Isis hand, but,
although the deceased could not see the man who
ld it, the lantern of course was very apparent.
Samuel Dobson proved, that at the time of the ac-
cideat there was a space left to go into the yard of
18 or 20 feet in Width. There was a slight hill in
descending into it.
Thomas Ingram, a watchmad at Spitalfields, heard
a report of a pistol about eleven &clock on the night
of the 27th of July. Being called inm the yard of
the prisoner, he found the deceased there. Tiffen
said he had shot the man in his own defence.
It was thought unnecessary by the Counsel for the
prisoner to adduce any evidence.
Baron GRAHAM represented to the Jury, that in
this • neither mali:e, temerity, nor wantonness were
v pro and therefore the prisoner must be acquitted,
ci
white any imputation upon his character.
_ The Jury, without hesitation, found a verdict—
Not Guilty.

_murder of James Kirby, a young infant, by driving

The prisoner did not tall odd to snake way, but went
on without inquiry.
Cross•examined.—The shock was against a chaise
that was coming towards Hyde-park : it was impos-
sible to see the gig, on account of the coach that was
going before. The prisoner appeared to be sober.
