ther with the ticking of their beds torn into strips; and
a number of blankets also. torn op and tied together,
made a rope of about thirty feet ; the first was-to en.
able them to gain the top of the building, and the la it*
to assist them in the descent. The lathier of form► Was
hoisted against the wall in the court of tile old gaol, and

on a charge of breaking open and plundering the h. me

Wednesday stfterdoon, an4 accident happened to the
Glasgow mail crach, which was attended with fatal
consequences. The mail had re*che4 Bidsberry End, •
twelve miles north of Beatock Bridge, and drew up to
„change horses, in front of a botsage and stuble, cccu-
l.pied * that lone spot for,the.,e*ptess purpose. The
leiders had been taken off, anclthe coachman and ham
keeper were assiduously engageit in kosening the
wheelers, when up came the mail- coach from Glasgow,
on its way southward. Its arrival frightened thewheeler
in the harn:s of the I:orse-keeper ; it plunged ; the man I
exerted all his. strength to restrain it; the rein onfortu•
nately broke; the coach was in a moment dragged
across the road by the restive animal, and upset in a
ditch against a wall. Unhappily, Vie coach' frill epon
the outside passenger, a Mr. Wib*dstin. of London;;
and crushed him Co. severely that he died at the cot.
tage, whither he was instintly conveyed, in less than
three hours.' The horsbkeetrer was also thrown down,.
and the coach fell upon him likewise, but he wsi not
materially hurt. A second outside passenger sustained
some slight injury, though not sufficient to detain him.
Three persons who ve,:ie inside were not at all the worse
oforibe disaster, if we 'except a fright. •
