On Friday) at one o'clock, as Sir John Poer 13ee eesord was driving his pony chaise to Sir Arthur Paget's, on comillg nsear the gate at Northam, the animal turned round, and set off in full speed up the new road. Sir John, in endeavouring to avoid a waggon, was thiown out, and we are sorry to add that his collar bone was broken, and bis right arm and one of his andes dislocated. Having prompt surgical azsistance, the dislocations have been roduced.-Sgu. lisbnrij Jo;rtniL On Saturday evening last, as a carpenter, of the name of Coote, was going home from Sudbury to Bulmer, he was attacked by six footpads in a secluded part of the road, and robbed of shop goo45 which he had been purchasing, to the amount of 50., and 1Os. in silver, which he had in his pocket. He miade a bold resistance, and threw one of the men to the ground. During this time an- other of the gang cante up. and pulled Coote from the fallen rob. ber. This good turn was, however, ill repaid; for the rnan mistak- ing his companion for Coote, attacked hbin with a knife, anm wvound- ed him, as Coote (who by this interfercnce escaped) heard a voice excall, " You are eutting the wrong man !" Coote is able to identify nearly the wvhole party. Warrants are issued for their ap- prebension.-Co'snty Chronicle. On Sunday myiorning, between the bours of 10 and 11, a outli, about 14 or l years of age, nephew of a performer at Drmry irsse Theatre, hired Henry Peck, a waterman belonging to Water. loo-bridge, to row him to Lanbeth; while going past Htngerford, he pulled his coat ofh; which surprising the waterman. the latter asked him if he was warm; he answered ha was rather so; but while the waterman turned his head round, the youth threw a shil- lingaud his direction into the boat, and immediately jumped over- board. Hewas,after.great exertions, picke,d up by Henry Peck, and some persons rowing up, lie was irnmeldately taken in a sense- less state to hli uncle's house, when medical assistance was called in, and he is now in a fair wav of recovery. On Thursday last, a little before noon, five mens employed sn the works carrving on for the hinprovement of the navigation of our river, who bad been to Rodmei to take their accustomed refresh. ment dulring the flow of the tide, en their return to the water's edge, attempted to cross the river between the Sound Shallo w and Asham, in a smaUl fat-bottomed boat, which about thle Centrc Of the river sunk with them, and consigned them to a watery grave, the whole five having unhappily serished, in sight of several of their fellow gang's-men ots the opposite shore, who coald afford them no nssistt- a'nce, and wio, guided by prudence, hatdpreviouisly and safely crossed in the said boat, two at a tmim. The boat, about ten ininutes after it sunk, rose again, so as to exhibit one of the ill-fated nien, about half his height above the surfaccqff--the water, and what is very extraor. dinary,standing perfectly eie4f, but he again disappeared before any means could be taken to reicue him. The bodies were soon after dragged for, and on being found, were placed in a row on the bank of the river, and presented a very melancholy spectacle. They were next reumoved to a neighbouring barn, where the bodies were viewed by the Coroner's inquest, who returned their verdict-Accidenfal death by drowning.
