petty misdemeanours of the most trifling nature.

Serjeant Dalton, of the sth Royal Veteran Bat-

' Sqlso,,en Friday morning last, about half past one
o'clock, when enquiring his way to Grafton-street
of the watchman, four men obtruded themselves to
show 'him the way, and under, that pretext headed
'him; one of them made a snatch at his watch, but
the Serjeant prevented the villain from robbing him,
and called the watch. They then ran off, a pursuit
took.place, and the iterjeant had caught hold of the
fellow who snatched his watch, when the Prisoner
CUM behind him, pbstructing him, aad the three es-

A gentleman's carriage, in which were a lady and
four children, was overturned with considerable via
lence yesterday afternoon, in Oxford-street, near
Pond-street, by the negligence of the driver of a
talico-glazier's cart. The horse had started off on a
sudden, and the wheel of the cart got bold of the
hinder wheel of the carriage before the coachman'
was aware of his situation. One of the children was
dangerously hurt, having fallen out of the coach-.
window under the vehicle. The carriage was said
to belong to a Mrs: Wheedle.
Owing to the melting of the unusually heavy falls
of snow, the River Severn rose, during the night of
I Sunday and Monday morning last, nearly six feet
perpendicular. The avenues into Shrewsbury, which
adjoin the river, were rendered impassable, except
by boats, and many of the buildings were inundated.
jt is said, that Mr. Chinnery, late of the Treasury,
has left this country, and is on his *ay across the
I Atlantic.

111UNGO PARK.
• •
Retract from the Calcuftu Monthly Journal, for
June, 1811 :—" No certain intelligence has hither-
to been received of tfie fate of Amigo Park : but
it appears by the English Papers, that the accounts
of hit safety are again doubted. We know not whe-
ther
the following circumstances, as communicated
by Mr. Pearce, in Abpsieia, to Captain Rudland,l
at Mocha,- hi a letter, dated Antalou, the 29th. of I
December, 1810, are calculated to lespen those!
doubts or not. The person alluded to is either
Mungo Park or Mr. Hornemati, who has been sent I
by the Diletatiti Society on a similar 'mission. A
friend of Mr. Pearce's, who has a relation a mer-
chant, in the Shoa, Cofla, and who left Efut three
months ago; said, that some strange white man had
arrived in the country of Shea, and *as Espeeted at
Flat, with an intention to proceed thence to 'l'igri.
Since this information, Mr. Pearde heard, that a
white man was seen beyondShoa. Mr. Pearce had
obtained leave from the Ras, to proceed to Shoe. In
consequence of a letter addressed by Captain Rad-
land to the Ras Welleta Selasse, orders had been,
given, that in case Mr. Park entered the territories
of the Ras, every attention was to be shewn him,
and every assistance afforded him to remit' Mas-
aorta."
