RAILROADS versus STAGE-COACHES.—III the coffee-room
at the Black Swan Tavern, in York, hangs an advertisement,
of which the following is a copy, in a glazed frame, over the
mantel-piece :—" York four days stage-coach. Begins on
Friday, the 12th of April, 1706. All that are desirous to
pass from London to York, or from York to London, or any
other place on that road, let them repair to the Black
Swan, in Holbourn, in London, and to the Black Swan, in
Coney-street, York. At both which places they ma) be re-
ceived in a stage-coach every Monday, Wednesday, and Fri-
day, which performs the whole journey in four days,.(if God
permits.) And sets forth at five in the morning. And re-
turns from York to Stamford in two days, and from Stam-
ford, by Huntington, to London, in two days more—and
the like stages on their return. Allowing each passenger
l4lbs. weight, and all above, 3d. a pound. Performed by
Benjamin Kingman, Henry Harrison, Walter Baynes. Also,
this gives notice, that the Newcastle stage-coach sets out
from York every Monday and Friday, and from Newcastle
every Monday and Friday." This journey is now performed,
on the railroad between York and London, in ten hours.

A. MAD Ox.—On Monday evening, about six o'clock, a
small ox of the Scotch breed, was being driven into the
slaughter-house of a butcher, in Salisbury, when the animal
became infuriated, and broke away from the butchers. He
took his course through Market-place, where the first object
of his attack was a little child, whom he tossed into the air ;
the child fell into the channel, and by that means escaped
without very serious injury. Pursuing his course up Win-
chester-street, he attacked a poor woman named Sanders,
the wife of a shoemaker, who was endeavouring to remove
one of herchildren from danger ; she was tossed three times,
and the horn of the animal entered the side of the throat,
inflicting, it is feared, mortal wounds. When the animal
had nearly reached the London-road, at the top of the town,
a malster belonging to Maton's brewery, attempted to arrest
his progress with a rake, but the unfortunate man was speedily
knocked down, and the calf of his leg was nearly torn off by
the horn of the ox. Several other persons received minor in-
juries ; and the animal remained at large in the fields until
Tuesday morning, when a party went in pursuit, and suc-
ceeded in shooting him at Ford Farm, about two miles from
the city.

A REGULAR OUT-AND-OUT VAGABOND.—Last Thursday
afternoon, as Mr. Mulby, of the Sawyer's Arms, was resting
awhile on one of the stone seats behind the church, a middle:
aged man, apparently in great distress, came up to him, and
after asking charity, commenced a most pitiable recital of his
misery and want ; he had been a sailor " shipwrecked and
drowned, and then sold for a slave." Mr. Mulby was on
the point of relieving him, when Mr. William Mecoid, block-
maker, came up to them quite out of breath with having run
up the Vicarage-hill from the Quay as fast as he could. After
ascertaining that Mr. Mulby had been sonic time in the
church-yard, he asked him if he had seen a strange man pass
him. Mr. Mulby replied that the only person he had seen
was the poor beggar before them, who seemed to be sadly in
want. Gaberlunzie upon this was preparing to bolt, and
looked anxiously about, which way he had best shape his
course ; but just as he was going to shoot a-head, Mr.
Mecoid, who is an old sailor, threw his grappling irons over
him, telling him that he must overhaul his cargo before he
allowed him to take his departure. Mr. Mulby, as may well
be supposed, was surprised at such a rencontre, and much
more so, when, upon the fellow being searched, a good linen
shirt was taken from him, which the impudent impostor had
been seen to take from a garden-hedge. As he cried loudly
for quarters, Mr. Mecoid let the fellow go upon conditions
that he took his rascally presence from the town instanter.
The man stood not upon the order of his going, but set off
down the yard into Church-street at railroad speed. But
here the " tragedy" did not end ; for whilst Mr. Mecoid and
Mr. Mulby were talking the affair over, up to thon hastened
two other men from the Quay, and also a female, all asking,
as Mr. Mecoid had done, " if a strange man had just gone
through the yard." Upon the adventure detailed above
being related to them, it appeared that they were after him
upon the same errand, as he had been robbing hedges, at the
bottom of the Vicarage, with the greatest coolness, never
supposing that he could be seen from the small window at
the back of the houses on the Quay. Chace was immediately
given, but as yet the fellow has not been apprehended. and
probably he will not be in this quarter, as he would doubt-
less leave the town without delay. He is a stoutish-built
man, apparently about fifty years of age, and had on a suit
of shabby dark clothes. [Since the above was in type, we
find that the man, whose name is Roberts, has been taken up,
and committed for trial.)—Preston Chronicle.
DARING BRIGANDS.—We understand, that, for three or
four months past, two men, armed with guns, have been
prowling about amongst the hills, on the borders of Lanca-
shire and Yorkshire, committing a number of robberies and
outrages of the must audacious kind. They are believed to
be two notorious poachers, named Briggs and Dickenson,
from the neighbourhooja Bolton-by-Howland, near Clithe-
roe. These men are suspected to have committed the rob-
beries and outrages near Bacup ; and more recently, they
appear to have been carrying on their atrocious proceedings
in the northern part of the West Riding of Yorkshire. It
appears, from the Kendal Mercury of Saturday last, that on
the preceding Thursday, as a man named Mr. Joseph Wig-
nail, butter buyer, was on his road to Hawes Market, about
six or seven o'c:oelt in the morning, he came in company,
when crossing the Stake, a very solitary and mountainous
district, with a man on foot, who went with bins some dis-
tance, although Mr. 'Wignall was on horseback ; and when
they came to a certain part of the road, a gun was fired at
him from behind the wall, but fortunately the contents did
not effect the murderous intention. The piece had been
loaded with hail shot, about half-a-dozen of which had pene-
trated Mr. Wignall's head and face, but without doing him
much injury. He immediately put his animal to full speed,
and left the villains to ruminate on what they no doubt con-
sider their bad fortune. There were carts not more than a
quarter of a mile behind at the time, and some people were
not very far before, whom Mr. Wignall soon overtook, and
related to them what had happened. The circumstance soon
became generally known in the neighbourhood, and several
young men volunteered their services to go in search of the
villains. It fell to the lot of one party, consisting of a con-
stable and another man, to track diem towards Horton, near
Settle, where, stepping into a farmhouse to make inquiry
concerning them, they beheld the very persons of whom they
were in quest, quietly drying their stockings by the fire ; they
instantly seized hold of them, when a scuffle took place ; and
they
all four rolled on the floor together, in which position
one of the men (the constable) had his hand and cheek dread-
fully lacerated by
-n the teeth of his antagonist. One of the
villains succeeded deraawreinsgora pistol,t when the constable
and his man,
put toi flight, and totally worsted, retreated
to Settle. Hitherto, w
have not been apprehended : bUty,
aso say,their
t namesthese desperadoes
and
pe
n
sons are known, they cannot long escape the pursuit which
is now making after them in. all directions.
