GLASGOW, Ocr. 21.

Sunday night the London Mail, which should have
reached the city at half-past four, did not arrive till a
quarter after seven. This delay, we understand, was
occasioned by the coach' breaking down about thirty
miles on this side of London. The coachman was thrown
to the ground with much violence, and so severely in-
jured that his lite is ,despaired of. One of the pas,engers
was slighlty,bruised, and one of the horses killed on
the spot.

of a man, well dressed, apparently the master of some
vessel 'dm has been lost. It must have lain some time
in the water, as the features were entirely destroyed;
had in his pockets a sovereign and a half sovereign,
and 12s. in silver. Also, a hunting watch, nsaket's
name Rob. Roshil, Liverpool, No. 23,088 ; two gold
seals, one with arms engraved, and a dragon's head for

the motto, Alta Spes &tutus below the arms. The body

Yesterday Mr. COPRLAND was sworn in at Guildhall
as one of the Sheriffs of London and Middlesex. He
was much agitated upon entering the hustings, and
seemed to suffer.pain, but he recovered his spirits before
he bad been in the Hall five minutes, and he loudly
repeated the oaths after the Town Clerk. It was consi•
dered a daring thing to venture upon such an exertion
after a 35 days' fever. When the ceremony was at an
end, Mr. C. appeared to have rallied completely.

opening of a theatre at Montrose, with the farce of The
Devil to Pay," to be followed by the comedy of w The
West Indian." Adverse wind'', however, prevented the

Friday morning a considerable sensation was excited
in the village of Snydale (Which is situated about half
way between the toirns of Wakefield and Pontefract,
being about five miles from each), by the circumstance
of a Inan having been found in a ditch, bounding a field
war the village, with his throat dreadfully cut, and in
a state of insensibility. He was conveyed to a house,
and every emotion paid -to his deplorable condition,
medical assistance being immediately procured. As
soon as he became sensible., though yet speechity, he
made signs, for writing materials ; a slate and pencil bay-
ing been provided, he scrawled with great difficulty and
pain the words" Markey, Hul." However, hexecovered
so far before night, as to state the name, description, Ste.
of the robber, and the articles stolen from him, together
with the probable destination of the villain. He shortly
afterwards. ezpired. From the accusing record he has

,Moor, neat Pocklington, quitted Wakefield on Friday
morning, .at six o'Clock, accompanied by . a man
named William Mosey, a native of the latter place,

posed) bad knocked down the deceased, and after cutting
his throat so desperately as to lay the gullet entirely
open, and to separate the roots of the tongue, robbed
him, and then threw him into the ditch where be was
found. The villain took from him a silver watch, ss.
in silver, and a small bundle in a dark coloured silk
handkerchief. A razor case was found near the ditch,
but the razor with which the murder is conjectured to
have been committed, has not 'yet been discovered.—
