What Is very remarkable, Is, that though there were eight passengers inside, none Of them were injured beyond bruises. The body and top of the stage were completely destroyed. The two forward wheels and the horses were left in the road. The driver jumped from his seat, and escaped unhurt. A passenger who was on the outside, was badly cut in the head.

 Coshmere Goats in England.-Mr. Tower, of Essex, England, has s7 goats of the Cash mere specics-2S of them natives of Britain. From the down of such goAts, the celebrated rare and costly shawls are made. Four Oun- ces of the down are obtained from male, and two from a female. It takes the down oC ten to make shawl fifty -four inches square. Mir. Tower has had three shawls made, which have been compared with others, and pro nounced of superior kind. The goats breed with great rapidity-nnd even when under twelve months old. They show no impa' tience to the cold, but are sheltered in winter and fed on hay hut they are remarkably fond Of the Gorse (Ulex Europacus.) The down is combed from them.

 State of Louisiana.-The government of this State is very peculiarly situated in con. sequence 0f the death of the late Governor. Much excitement appears Go exist in New Orleans. The Constitution of the State re- quires the Governor to be possessed of real estate to the value of S5O00, to be S5 years Of age. and to have been resident Of the State 6 years previous to his election-it Al- SO declares, in case Of the death or removal of the Governor. the President of the Sen ate shall he Governor, until another be duly qualified. The present President of the Sen ate (Mr. Bcnvaris) possesses real estate tO the value of SlOO0-is hut 27 years of age, and has resided only years in the Staie. The Governor is elected for years, the President of the Senate for year. The question appears to be if the President of the Senate holds the office of Governor for the term, which is 3 years. or if he should be reelected President of the Senate, how can he act as Governor when he does not possess the constitutional qualifications.
