Loss OF MR. FERGUSON'S FIREAWAY.—The City of
Dublin steamer the Britannia, on the passage from Liverpool,
on Thursday, encountered a violent gale, which carried away
the foremast, and caused the death of Mr. Ferguson's cele-
brated horse, Fireaway.—Eveaing Mail. [This turns out
to be incorrect : it was Mr. Ferguson's Fanny Callaghan,
which made so good a race for the Oaks, that was killed.]

THE TIIIMHLERIG AT ASCOT.--Some idea may be formed
of the immense number of these rascals who may be expected
to attend the races at Ascot this day and during the week,
when it is stated that a carpenter in the neighbourhood has
received an order to construct no less than 65 tables to enable
these worthies to "operate" upon in their villainous calling.
The contract price is 2s. 6d. each. £5 has been paid "on
account," and the whole are to be completed by ten o'clock
this morning. It is well known that not less than from five
to six scoundrels are in league with the " worker" at each
table. These G 5 tables, therefore, will cause a muster on the
heath of between 300 and 400 the most arrant cheats and
knaves in Christendom. If persons are to be found fools
enough, after the exposures which have taken place, to
squander their money upon these harpies, they are only de-
serving of being most heartily laughed at for their credulity
and folly.

It has been observed, that cannons of a good-sized calibre
are being carted from the Low Moor Iron Works through the
streets of Bradford. It is not stated whether these are in-
tended for home or foreign service.

STRANGE AceinENT.LA rather singular accident occurred
on Wednesday evening, at Vevonport-bill. As the Defiance
coach was coming in from Exeter. and proceeding up the
hill, the back seat suddenly gave way, and fell on the road ;
luckily there was no person but the guard on the seat at the
time; be was precipitated backwards with considerable vio-
lence. So sudden and unexpected was this fall, that the
coachman proceeded some distance before he could be brought
up by the call of some persons walking by at the moment.
The guard and portion of the coach which had given way were
picked up, and taken on to Devonport. The guard was much
affrighted and stuPitied by the fall, but we are glad to say,
seriously consequences are not likely to ensue,—Plymouth
Timex.
