SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.—In the course acne tide, last week, three vessels arrived at Liverpool from different places, all bearing the celibrated name of Wellington :—viz. The Lord Wellington, from New York ; the Marquis of Wellington, from New Orleans; and, the Duke of Wellington, from New Brunswick. A young woman of this town died last week in consequence of having been in the habit of lacing her stays too tightly,---(Plymouth Jortrnol.) On the night of the 15th inst. the lightning struck the cathedral of Strasburg, incited the lead Which cemented several stones, and destroyed the sound of the largest bell,  MAD Doris.---On Wednesday last the daughter of Mr. T. WILD, of the Rodney public-house, in Laxity, received a severe bite from a strange dog while playing un the road near her father's house. In, a few minutes after this lamentable event had taken place, a person called at the above house to say, that there was a dog of very 'singular appearance under a hay-stack in the immediate neighbour,. hood. Mr. 'Wild, with a few others, hastened to the place, and as soon as the dog saw them, it made an attack on Mr. Wild : he shot, and afterwards broke his gun upon it to avoid its bite. The dog made a second attack on another individual, but was repulsed by a large stone. It then bit a fine pointer dog, which was with them, and made oft it was steadily pursued past Stores Bridge, Stacy, Oldwordi, the Gate, Worrell, Wadsley, and back to the Rodney, where, entering a small shed, it was shot. In its•way it Was seen to bite a great number of dogs and pigs, together with one young man. The body of the animal has been opened, and carefully examined by Mr. Waterhouse, surgeon, of this town (Sheffield), and he gives it as his decided opinion that there were visible signs of hydro,phobia. We understand that' the dog went from Sheffield to the Owlerton toll-gate early in the afternoon of the game day, where it bit several dog's and one child. On the aame day another dog was seen in Loxley, of the madness of which little ooubt is entertained ; but what direction it took cannot now be ascertained. There May be public nuisances of various kinds, but it is doubtful whether one more hateful or disgusting than the number of useless dogs now kept can be found,— Surely these circumstances call loudly on the inhabitants of Sheffield (and every other town) to chain up or destroy *frit dogs, that such dreadful evils may be removed from among us.—(Sheffteld Independoit.) A sad and awful misfortune happened at Rad;. ford, a short distance beyond Leamington,. on Saturday morning, the 26th instant. The Stiovereign coach between Birmingkant and Louden,' was proceeding to town with nearly a full complement of outside and inside passengers, when its progress was arrested by. one of the fore wheels leaving the axle-tree, and instantly the coach sunk with a sudden and dreadful crash. The coachman and a clergyman named, we hear, ATTER BURY, were then thrown from the box, and the coach falling on them, with the accumulated weight of four inside passengers, ill a moment crushed them to death. Most of the other passengers received severe injuries. In the • year 1818, ELIZAuETH Low, an old woman, 70 years of age, residing at Dunning, was murdered under circumstances of great atro.city. She was found with her skull knocked in with an axe, and her house rifled of the few articles of clothing that she possessed. At that time no clue was obtained to the murderer. Lately, however, in consequence of a table-cloth belonging to the deceased being offered for sale, suspicion fell upon Wrn. and Margaret Boug, brother and sister, of being concerned in the affair, On Saturday last, the Sheriff stud Procuratdr Fiscal of Forfarshire went out to Dunning, where the two persons inspected were apprehended, underwent a long exaMination, and were both committed to Perth jail. We understand a untii.! tier of articles of napery and clothes, which longed to the old wanton, have been found ht Margaret Doug's possession.----(Edinburgh Cott. rant, July 'AO  TnE
