COACH ACCIDINT.....OO Friday last, the mail coach was overturned at Amney, near Cirencester, owing to the reins breaking. The horses started at full speed. Mr. Habgood of Cirencester, draper, who was outside, was very much hurt, but we are happy to say he is likely to do well. Mr. Habgood and hlr. Warner, surgeon, were conveyed Into Cl. ftneesier in Mr. Blackwell's carriage. Several other passtngers were hurt but not materially. It is too much the practice, as it was on this occasion, to put young and restive horses into the coaches, thereby endangering the lives of the passengers. Shakier,' Fountain Pump Fascists claims to an universal application in the following striking points :1. That the economy in original cost of the Fountain Pump, in its manufacture, averages about 40 per cent. less than that of the pump en the old plan. 2. That the quantity of water raised by the Fountain Pump, is nearly double that which can be delivered in the use of the pump on the old plan, allowing the same moving power to each. FATAL Ocrictioa.—On Tuesday last, an inquest was taken at the Dog, at Over, near this city, before John Cooke, Esq. Coroner, on vie* of the body of James Terrett, who met with his death under the following melancholy circumstances. It appeared in evidence, that a party of freehold. en were starting by coach on their return home from the election of a Coroner ; and that several persons who were not voters, and did not belong to the company, intruded themselves on the coach. On their arrival at the Dog, at Over, Mr. Dl. Bennett insisted on the strangers leaving the coach. One of them, named Thomas Wintle, objected, when Mr. B. took hold of him by the coat, and he was re. moved, but without any great violence. Wiotle then wanted to pull Bennett off, and attempted to take bold of his leg, and the latter, in endeavouring to revent Wintle laying hold of him, kicked him on the bad. Winds then went to a heap of stones by the road aide, picked up a quantity, and threw them at the passengers on the coach ; he followed the coach a considerable distance, and continued throwing, though repeatedly cautioned not to do so. One passenger was struck on the head, and was seriously hurt; another, the deceased, received a blow on the neck, and immediately fell back senseless. A er then got off, and pursued Winds for some distance, who pulled out his knife, and swore he would kill him; be was, however, knocked down with a stick and secured. A surgeon, who examined the head of the deceased, was of opinion, his death was occas'oned by the blow under the ear, which ruptured the left internal jugular vein. After a very patient investigation, the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Thos. Wintle. The offender, however, has for the pressot, evaded the power of the law. having contrived to e#set his from the constable of English Bickner. in whose ash= had been placed. The spirit of inceudisziam has not yet been subdued In,  Hampshire. A barn, containing about five loads of wheat, was wilfully set on fire en the night of Saturday last, at Soberton, near Bishop's Waltham, and entirely consumed. Some unhappy differences between the boners and the agri. cultural labourers have lately occurred in the parish,and one of the latter has been apprehended on suspicion of being the incendiary.—Hampshire Chronicle.
