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
Manufacturing districts, through Runcorn, is already im-
mense, and is daily increasing.

Sr. HELENS AND Nzionnouanoon.--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.

Tog.. PORTSMOUTH THEATRE.—On oday the
announced translation of theM Frn ench piece, evenincg alled
Ita the Bohemians," was represented here, and the result
have convinced the enterprising lessee that his ex-
ertions were duly appreciated. The piece is a very good
?n e, 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 I
every evening.—Hampshire Advertiser, of Jan. 20.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday morning last a
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 the
canal bridge, the animal became restive, so that the rider
lost all command over him, and the result was, the horse
oPrung 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
his seat into the water, and, we are happy to state, that
Ile escaped with a few slight bruises. From the position
in which the horse fell the poor animal broke his back in
hick
t, and upon his being extricated from the water
teed immediately.—Leicester Journal.
