!The iuniOni- gains ground daily on the Continent,

House of Orange. It is said, that Lord Crcrix-

• would in future be Flanders."

'An article from Bayonne, in Me" Paris Papers,
states a curious fact, .that the bridge of Yrun, over
the'Bidassms, had been destroyed by).dider of the
Spanish Government, whose object was supposed to
be to prevent all communication with France.
Mention is made in a book, of a more remarks:
ble person than Joanna Southcott, but who laid nd
claim to miracles :—" Ellin Ellis, of Beaumaris, in
Angleseyi aged 72, was brought to bed May. 10th,
' 1776: she had been married 46 years, and her eldest
was 45 years old." She had not had a child for 25
years before." •
The son of a poor woman in •Holloway, near ,
Bath (a fine boy, about four years 'of age). had for
a considerable time past complain( d of violent pains
in the chest, which, notwithstai.ding many reme lie
being resorted to, increased to such a deg ea that he
died a few days since, in great. agony. 11is.body ;
was opened, and near the heart was found a brass
ring, which it is supposed the poor chid had acci- 1
dentally swallowed, and thereby produced the great i
torments lie must have been afflicted with previous to,
his premature death„
ItxmAtte.tai.E ACCIDENT OP A Houst.—Some
evenings anterior to the close of Vauxhall Gardens
for the season, as the carriage of Lord Ilotham was
passing along the turnpike, at some distance from
them a chaise or chaise-cart, lashed furiously against
the off-horse, and, as it afterwards appeared, for,
I at the moment, the coachman took no notice of it,
drove one of the shafts through his ribs. The horse
came home, tvithout much apparent pain, and Mr.
Powi', a very able veterinary practitioner, being
sent for, treated him with his usual skill and ability,
but without success ; for, in the course of four days
after the accident, the animal dropped down suddenly,
dead. On opening the body, it appeared the shaft, after
being driven through the ribs by a concussion that
seems to have been made at full gallop, passed above the
lungs, and Perforating the diaphragm, entered the
cavity of the abdomen, from whence, when it was
withdrawn, the intestines rushed after it into the
chest, and, closing the orifice, prevented the admis-
sion of the external air, owing to which circum-
stance, though mortally wounded, the poor beast
did his part in dragging the coach home, and was en-
abled to live until the ,time specified. The conduct.
of coachmen, in 19 instances out of 20, when such
accidents happen, cannot be too much deprecated,
as the death or incurable lameness of 'many a
vn-
laable horse, besides this, is to be ascribed solely to
the stupid inadvertency, or incurable obstinacy of
the Jehu that drives him
