HENRY CLAY.-The Democrats Review, the
&c ifc laet
number, has an article headed, Clay in the field
again. The article thus opens:
q Clay is fine fellow. He is so bold he is so
brave, and in the political melee he rides thunder
ing along at the head of his hosts, in the van of
the strife, so gallantly, and with 50 naughty
crest! Like the paaache Of Henry'1V., wherever
tue fight is hottest ane the blows the heaviest
there streams its white huter the signal to his
friends of the point of pressure and the direction
to which rhey should follow. He is a man, every
inch of hrn--worth fighting, worth beating.
And it is thus that the noble and gallant Harry
of the West extorts admiration even from his
bitterest political opponents. They cannot help
yielding him the tribute Of their praise.

quite a serious accident on Thursday the
South road between this and Batavia. Tho stage,
with ten passengers, was coming down the hills
in Darien, at rapid rate, when as the driver
slightly reined cut to pass ascending stage, the
coach upset with great violence, smashing the
side which struck the ground, and injuring more
or less every one on board, except infant child
and On Irishman. One gentleman had an arm
broken and others suffered from contusons on the
head and various parts Of the body. The too com

too severely reprobated. Buffalo Com. Adv.
How TO DETECT COUNTERFEIT ColS.-Take q
clean slip of common sheet zinc about two inches
by one half, and lay it upon the tongue; place a
genuine silver coin under the tongue, and on bring
