TAtSiffGTONj once a celebrated horse dealer, at Uttoxeter, who died last December at Cheadle, in his 83d year, met with more accidents than probably ever befel any other human being. Up

to the year 1793, they were a3 follows: Right shoulder broke"; skull fractured and trepanned; left arm broken in two places; three ribs onthe left side broken; a cut on the forehead; lancet case, Hue case, and unite iorcea mio uie inign;j three ribs broken on the right side, and V f f 1 ! t . 1 11 ' . . the right shoulder, elbow and wrist dis located; back seriously injured; skull fractured and trepanned; cap of the right knee kicked oil: left ancle dislocated

ribs and breast bone broken; got down and kicked by a horse until he had five hole in his left leg; the sinew just below the right knee cut through, and two holes in that leg, also two shocking cuts above the knee; taken apparently dead fieven times out of different rivers. Since 1793, (when a reference to these accidents was given to Mr Made ley, of Uttoxeter,) right should dislocated and collar bone broken; seven ribs broken, breast bone laid open, and right shoulder dislocated. (Flavin g been attended by an unskilful surgeon in this accident, he was obliged to be put into a very hot bath for two days, before the dislocation could be reduced, the first day, by mistake, 15 hours, and the second 6 hour3.)

Extract of a letter, to a Gentleman in Boston, duted hint in, China, April 23. 44 We have had so much business on our hands of late, that I" have forgotten whether I gave you, in my last, an account of the affair' which happened here on the 1st of Mtrch, between the Boats h nnmnor tn to vino I i 11 1 1 r and two Iart?e Chinese armed Boats. i The shiD Citizen, of New-York arrived hereabout the last of rebruary, and

This was done almost within hail of our shipping. It was immediately determined, by the commanders of the .English and American vessels, to man all their boats, and if it should appear that they had made prisoner ot tne young man

above alluded to, to recapture him at aiei1- Lord .snioutb, after witnessing a few events. If there was no European or showers of lead, said be believed the time!

American in the boat, it was agreed not to molest them. As our boats approached them, they took to flight, but perceiving that they could not escape, they rounded to, and prepared for action. When sufficiently near to speak them, an attempt was made, by signs and otherwise, to explain to them that our intentions were pacific, and that our object was merely to ascertain if there was an European or American in the boat. Our inquiries, however, received no other reply than a volley of stones which bruised and wounded several of our people; one of them dangerously. Seeing no possibility of coming to an understanding with t em, and being in consideraMe danger f;om the showers of stones which they continued to pour upon us, tne order was given to fire over them.! T lis order was very naturally disregarded by those who were smarting from the effects of a severe blow with a stone, and several of the balU were seen to take ef feet. The music of musket balls being sjmcthmg new not according to "o Id

custom" they thought beat to decamp, ; which they did with all possible expedition, leaving the fast-boat behind them. The Mandarins on the River between this and Canton, have for a great length of time, not only without the knowledge of the Government, but in direct opposition to its ordinances made a practice of seizing passengers going up and down the river, for the purpose of extorting money. In some instances they have treated their prisoners with great indecency and cruelty, stripping them naked suspending them by the hands, threatening them with instant death, 8z,c. until they have been obliged to advance large sums for their ransom. The capture of Mr. Leman. supercargo of the

iBrig Elizabeth, of Baltimore, which took nlace in January last, was fresh in recoi lection, and it was determined that they should not commit another act of such A . I I , . mi-wll - t 1 T wctmoii oppression, aim iu "- fleet too; without resistance. The act, on our part was perhaps rash, and, at first view, would appear unjustifiable, for, as it is illegal for a Chinese Boat to ;'receive a foreigner without special li- '. Chi nf?e OfllCP.rs to seize the Uoat tor (breach of their laws. It was was apprethat there would be a temporary suspen sion of the Trade. But it appears that the Mandarin Boats in question were not acting under the authority of their Government, or rather that they were not acting strictly according to their instructions, and consequently, that they were not under the protection of their Gwernmant. Indeed it is said that the Government have refused to take cognizance of the affair upon the ground that they had exceeded their powers in leaving their station and had no business at Lintin. Whether these Boats were in truth acting without orders, or whether the Chinese are unwilling to revive again the preposterous j unqualified demand of "blood for blood,'''' which was probably granted to them fori the last time in the disgraceful case of the Emily of Baltimore, is uncertain, and perhaps immaterial. One thing is ceitain, it will have the good effect to teachj

A Dublin coachmaker has attracted the attention of multitudes by the exhibition of a very handsome and geniausty constructed cmhge having but three, wheels and propelled by a gentleman sitting therein, at the rate of not less than eight or ten miles an hour. The force applied is in the operation ot lourlevers, which are alter-, nately acted upon with much ease, either by the hand orfoot, and cause the carriage to make an angle with much greater celerity than a coach drawn by horses can do.

Indian Death Blast. At Bandah, in Bundelcund, one of the northern provinces of Hindostan, there 8re numerous rocky hills, which during the hot winds, become so thoroughly heated as to retain their warmth from sunset to sunrise. The natives, at that sultry season, invariably wear large folds of cloth around tbeir heads and faces, just leaving themselves sufficiently exposed to be able to see and breathe. This precaution is taken in cons( qaence of the terrific blasls which occasionally rush in narrow streams from between the hills. Persons crossed by these scorching winds drop suddenly to the earth as if short by a musket ball. When medical assistance, or a supply ofcold water, is instantaneously procured, covery may generally be expected, but if no im-! mediate remedy be applied, an aiiuui wti tain death is the result.

StichjNew York, brought a suit against the

captain of a merchant vessel, for assault and battery in causing him to be severe ly beaten on board the ship, at sea, for swearing. 1 he captain admitted the act, but pleaded the rules of the ship, which prohibited others. 'The court gave a verdict for the captain; at the same time saying the regulation was salutary and praiseworthy, and the captain justified in punishing for its infraction ; that they regretted it was not more generally adopted and at all events adhered to by the captains themselves.'
