BRIGHTON, OCTOBER 13.

A dreadful accident took•place a short distance on
this side of Preston, on the Cuckfield road, about half
a mile from this town, last night. As the two late
stagecoaches from London, the Dart and the Phce-
nix, both full of passengert, inside and out, were re-
turning to this place, about nine o'clock, the former,
in endeavouring to pass the hater, ran foul of, and
overturned the Phcciiit. The shrieks and the crash
were dreadful. Mr. TArrim, master of the Golden
Cross Inn here, had the bone of his thigh fractored ;
a gentleman who was on his way here to visit his fa-
mily in St. James's-street, had an arm broken ; Mr.
LA SLUM, a German gentleman, was hurt about the
face and ribs; C4ptain WilletteLL9 was severely
wounded ;ii the held; Mr. MAIM', the Solicittr,
j !lad several of his teeth beat out; and various others
i received severe contusions and injuries. The Dart
ii.st her dickey seat in the concussion, in which was
pl.crd the gi-ntleman who had his arm broken, and
1.,, • wis brflUght to the ground with great violence.
SN VI, the proprietor, was driving the Dart himself;
I and BAnitarr, a proprietor also, was driving the
Phoenix. The latter is much hurt about the body,
but has no bones broken. A post chaise, which hap-
pened to arrive at the time of the accident, brought
Mr. TAYLoa to the Golden Cross, and conveyance
was then dispatched for the others. Mr. Twvi.ott is
considered this morning in a likely way of doing well.
A shocking accident happened to the wife of Mr.
Scats, of Bond-street, on Tuesday morning. She
was returning from Worthing in a one-hotse chaise
with her son, having pissed the night at B.irford-
bridge, and attempting to pass a waggon in the oar.
row part of the road, about a mile from there, the
wheel of the gig was unfortunately caught by the
waggon, and instantly upset, throwing Mrs. Scotia
with great violence against, or rather under the wag-
gon, one of the wheels of which passed over her *rim,'
which it broke in a shocking manner. The force
with which she was thrown against the waggon
broke her jaw-bone and two of her ribs. She lies in
this state at an inn, a short distance from where the
accident happened. Every assistance was rendered
by the arrival of surgeons from Dorking and Epsom.
There fve no hopes of her recovery.

THE FUNDS..

The *ow paying at the Bank: .The
Funds wailed 'het 114)1 on Saturday. Monei was
very plentiful in the City. it is generally believed
the miiney thus piat kW, circulation will have a fa-
vourable effect on the Funds. Formerly, when divi
denda were declared, duke was always paymentof scrip
instalments of Omnium, or some imniediate chatitel
for the amount. The *Witt hiving happily termina-
ted, there is no other means of employing the over-
flowing capital of the country but in the Funds.-
-There is another circumstance which will greatly
benefit the Stock-holders in raising the present price
of the Funds. The Commissioners for the Reduction
of the Debt will next month receive nearly dtloo,ooo,
weekly, in addition to the present Amount thus em-
ployed ; their purchases of Stock will in consequence
be then very extensive.

The Grand Duke CONSTANTINE, the EMPEROR of
RUSSIA'S brother, and General Wirroesstam, ar-
rived on Saturday in London.
The SPANISH ANNA/HAD= to our Court is recalled
to Spain.
Lord CASTLURRAGH if ariAed at the house •of his
venerable father, in the North of Ireland.

Lord ST. VINCENT purposes to return to his te-
nants £l6 per cent. on the amount of the tents, com-
mencing at Lady-day, 1815; and his Lordship has
offered, where it may be desirable, to return the
money to defray the expenses of the present !raves',
instead of deducting the amount from the next pay-
ment of rents.

The Marquis and Marchioness of STAFFORD and
family, are arrived at their seat, Trentham .Hall,
from Scotland.

The marriage between the Earl of WARWICK and
Lady MoNSON, which was postponed only on ac-
count of the death of the late Earl, will take place
in a few days.
We give this day two official Finance Returns;
one containing the general result of the Income and
Charge upon the two correspondoug quarters in 1815
and 1816 ; the other, a more detailed account of the
produce of the particular Taxes, permanent and War
Taxes. From the latter of these it appears, that
there is a real deficiency of about £500,000 in the
last quarter in the different beads of Customs. In
all the other Taxes, whether permanent or otherwise,
there has been no veep great variation. In the
Excise not more than £llO,OOO. In the Stamps
about £200,000. The Incidents have increased
nearly £160,000. In the Surplus Annual Miles
there is a small increase. In the Interest on account
of Ireland, an increase of £130,000. The produce
of War Taxes fur this quarter is above four millions
less than the last year's quarter; but this deficiency
is the consequence of Taxes being taken off.
IL LYSTERI Esq. M.P. of Rowton Castle, Shrop-
shire. who, with his family, has resided some time on
the Continent, very narrowly es:aped assassination
lately. In crossing the Simplon, part of the Alps,
with his family, on their way to Genoa, the carriage
Was attacked by a gang of banditti, who plundered'
them of almost every article, even the seat' of filo
carriage. While the robbers were engaged in. their I
plunder. Mr. Llama seeing another carriage at a '
distance behind, directed the courier which accom-
panied him to gallop off and forewarn the party ;
but no sooner had the man departed thin he was
fired at and wounded by 10 or 1U bullets. An Eng-
lish Lady of rank had been plundered by the same
gang, just before Mr. ',TIMER'S family arrived at the
spot.
The new Melo-drame of The Broken Sword, is onel
of the best things of the kind which have appeared
since the famous Maid and the Magliie, and promises
not to be exceeded by it in attraction. Broken as it
I is, this Sword promises to be a more useful instrument
Ito the Proinietors of Covent Garden Theatre, than
all the unbroken -swords with which they have fought
their Melo-dramatic battles for many season.

CONCuRAN and CLEMENTS, of the 41st Regiment :
on their first tire, the ball of the former passed through
the hip and left hand of his antagonist, which termi-
nated the affair. Mr. CLEMENTS was conveyed to

DATE. AT,LOWILE TOOTING, SORRET.-..47th Day.—
&Warr completed, last night, al a quarter before
ten o'clock, 48 miles, having at that hour performed
1386 miles of his Herculean task. In the course of

CARTER AND Ouvza.—The contest between these
`celebrated heroes Of the fist has excited uncommon-
attention throughout all parts of the country, and it'
still forms a principal theme of coneersation in the
North. The Gentlemen who backed Carter presented
him 50 guineas, in addition to the-hundred guineas
for which he fought. Both the pugilists have pro-
ceeded to Edinburgh; they had an interview at
Hawick, where the conqueror condoled with the
conquered in the genuine British spirit, and, the battle
ended, they were enemies no longer. Oliver recovers
as rapid as can be expected front the nature trf his
wounds. Many` of the Sauthern'esendemen left Car-
lisle last week with Out recolketissz their engagements,
and some of the Wad kg: carried off the money which•
they received for the admission of horses and carriages,
into the field were the battle was fought. AI
match is in- agitation between Carter and Cribb.,
to be fought in the North in May next. Betting in
that past of the country is rather in favour of Carter; a 1
in consequence of the corpulence of Cribb, and it is
not thought be can be bioufbt into a proper state
so short a time without' injanpg iipth his etreogtb
cud constitution.
