While noinerons important improvements have taken place
in every other department of the mechanism of Bookhiniting,
that part of it which consists of attar hini. the leaves tostet her.
has hitherto remained without improvement, if, indeed, it have
not retrogailed. Whatever excellence Bookbinding. mac have
hitherto attained, those who are familiar with its details will
readily admit the existence or art imperfection which has lonLir
been deemed without remetilv, and most nartictilarly experien-
red by those who have to make entries in Ledger'andot her
Account-balks. By this Patent, Canute:hone. or India-rubber,
has been hrouUht into operation for supplyirto the defects expe-
rienced in binitinz, and the application thereof has exceeded the
most-sanguine expectations of the Inventor. The invention is
especially applicable to
LEDGERS AND ACCOUNT-1100K. _

Every person experie;;ced in holikTicepin, most have felt
the ineanvenience arising from wasting towards the inner part
of a this-hly hound book; the patent method of hindinv, so com-
pletely obviates this utmleits'ant obstrortion to writing, as to
pr.,,,nt the folio of a Ledger in. an ottinirm plane sorface; an
object hitherto unattained, hut now equally practicable with the
book of 30 or stX)!eaves.

goats than whisky to milk and water. They are ingenns, they
are pleasant (many of 'em being old frens, and not less welkim

COACH ,k'CIDENT.—Great excitement prevailed on the line
of road between Leicester and Northamnton. on, Saturday
morning, respecting the Defiance Nta'nehester coach, which
ought to have arrived in Leicester at five o'clock. bufw !rich was
not heard of even at Ilarborough till about ten. when intOrma-
(ion reached that town, that it had been upset beto,co there.
and Northampton. Owing to its being so heavily laden. one of
the wheels gave way at the nave, and the pasAem4ers'.wer,
thrown of, fortunateby (with one ,txception) without being h-
,jured. The party injured was arterrial,. with an infant in her
arms, who 'escaped uninjured, Whilst its Mother's head was
"tmil'lY hurt, though not, we believe, fractured. The up-
coaches were also laden in% fearful manner, the Union reach-
ing London five hours after its usual time. On Friday, one
coach brought no less than 193 barrels of oysters from London.
