Last year, it is stated, 1,800 coasting vessels entered
the docks at Runcorn, some of them of 200 tons burthen,
and thousands of tons of merchandise passed through the
locks in lighters. The traffic between foreign parts and
manufacturieg districts, through Runcorn, is already im-
mense, and is daily increasing.

ST. HELENS AND NEIGHBOURHOOD.—There are at
present upwards of 5000 colliers out of employment. The
men have issued an address, in which they appeal to the
sympathies of the inhabitants of the town, and soliciting
assistance.

DEATH FROM QUICK LIME.—A man named James
White has been committed for trial at the next Liverpool
Assizes, charged with the
chester, by throwing quick limeinto his eye, which caused
inflammation and effusion on the brain.

potti/InIsTes°LquSUGAR MARKET, JAN. 26.—Our market
have b about 300 hogsheads West India
een sold since our last, without alteration in prices,
and which are very firmly supported. In Bengals and
Mauritius the transactions are confined to some retail
Parcels, at fully the previous currency. For rum there is
some inquiry, but the limited supply offering has prevented
any business of moment. Average price of sugar, Jan.
4'31 is 355. lid. per cwt.
PORTSMOUTH THEATRE.—On Monday evening the
i"g-announced translation of the French piece, called
ra us The Bohemians," was represented here, and the result
t have convinced the enterprising lessee that his ex-
ertions were duly aPpreciated. The piece is a very good
one, and admirably adapted for this stage. The scenery
(painted by Mr. F. Lloyds, of Liverpool) is first class,
and the effects of a description above criticism. The re-
petition of "The Bohemians" was announced amidst
unanimous applause, and a full house has been the result
every evening.—Hampshire Advertiser, of Jan. 20.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—
y mornin last a
g
youth in the employ of Mr. Hitchcock, of the North Mills,
In this town, was exercising a valuable horse belonging to
that gentleman, and on his return home, when near to der
lost bridge, the animal became restive, so that the rider
lost all command over him, and the result was, the horse
sprung over the parapet of the bridge, to the depth of
about twelve feet, and alighted with his hind legs on the
edge of the towing-path, and then fell into the canal.
The youth was thrown with considerable violence from
Tithe youth
into the water, and, we are happy to state, that
he escaped with a few slight bruise. From th positi on
in which the horse fell the poor animal broke his back in
two places, and upon his being extricated from the water
he died immediatelv.—Leicester Journal.
