The pitmen at Seghill Colliery, the only portion of this

important class of operatives who remained unemployed last week, have, after an obstinate stick, resumed their industrious avocations upon the terms and at the same prices which were paid last year. All the col- lieries are now in full work. —Newcastle Journal.

A one-horse carriage, belonging to the Reverend Mr. Otter, was driven by a servant over the English bridge in Shrewsbury, on Mon- day. On its descent from the centre of the bridge, the footboard of the driver pushed against the horse, and the animal instantly sprung tpon the footway, and, with the shaft of the carriage, forced the coping. stones and balustrades of the bridge into the river, and then hung in the harness twenty feet over the water until the shafts and harness broke and the animal was plunged into the Severn : the depth of the water was enough to break the concussion of his fall, and he walked out uninjured. The carriage, with two servants upon it, stood upon the very verge of the broken bridge. About twelve feet of the coping and balustrade of the bridge were thrown into the river.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
