Yesterday Monday forenoon, as the Rock
land stage, with eighteen passengers, drawn
by six horses, was crossing the bridge over the
Sheepscot river at Wiscasset, and when near
the edge of the channel, a span of the bridge
gave away-about thirty feet in length-and
and the vehicle with all its living freight was
precipitated, among falling timbers, to the wa
ter below, a perpendicular descent of not less
than fifteen feet. The bolt connecting the
body of the coach with the forward axle-tree,
drew out, leaving the horses and forward
wheels on the standing portion of the bridge,
and the driver-Mr. Weeks-by holding on to
the reins, was drawn from the box and thus
escaped an unpleasant plunge. The coach
body, with nine persons in the inside, and
an equal number upon the outside, with a
large lot of heavy baggage, brought up in the
water, upon its side. Fortunately it was dead
low water, and the carriage, striking upon the
edge of the channel, was not entirely submerg-
ed, but those upon the outside found them
selves rather promscuously scattered, and
some of them went to the bottom where the
water was eight or ten feet deep. If the bolt
had not drawn, the horses must of necessity
have been drawn down upon the coach body,
and in that event it would have been almost a
miracle if any one had been saved; as it was
all were rescued, several more or less injured,
but all but three able to keep on to Bath
where they took the cars. Mr.. Addison Day
and Mr.. Robert Ferris, both of Rockland, were
severely, though it is hoped not fatally injured,
and Mr.. Bassett was also so much injured
that he was obliged to lay over at Wiscasset.
Fortunately there were no ladies in the coach,
the lady passengers all being in another car
riage short distance in the rear. The bridge
was built but few year since, but the timbers
it seems had become so rotten, that when it
gave way it was done without premonitory
warning.

sB- Every one who was familiar with the
appearance of the News and. Day Book, two
notorious papers in New York,whose welcome
death came of their reasonable sentiments
will remember the coarse, dark, forbidding ap-
pearance of the paper on which they were
printed, while the World was a very model Of
neatness and good taste. OF late, since the
World has fallen from grace, and become a
carping, fault-fiuding opponent of the vigorous
measures proposed by the government, we no.
tice that the paper on which IL is printed, has
commenced to assume the peculiar tints and
appearance of the papers referred to. Is it
possible that an unriendly, disloyal spirit has
power to change the texture and color of life
less cotton rags? Or has the Worlds strong
dual procliyity for cotton and negro slavery,
had a tendency to soil the fair face Of the sheet
on which it is printed?
