timber, &c. therefrom. A considerable proportion of this space — which is none too large if all were available—is blocked up by the materials of a huge iron bridge, which have been lying there for fully eighteen months, for no earthly purpose, and taking up the room of two or three trucksi We have been requested te bring this matter under the notice of the Government, as all efforts to obtain the removal of the obnoxious bridge materials hitherto have proved futile.

The mishap arose In consequence of- a landslip, which startled the horses, dud in the Confusion the coaph was Upset: f o thos§ acquainted with the nature of the road it will appear utterly inexplicable that, the coach should have escaped being precipitated over the embankment into one of those frightful chasms by which the road is beset. It happened, however, the upset took place at a point where the road is a trifle wider than it is at other places^ One of the passengers, a German woman, had her arm fractured— that in reality being the only real damage sustained. Strange to sajr, the horses, on recovering from the startle first given to them, remained perfectly quiet, otherwise, had they dragged the fallen vehicle only a very few inches it must have fallen into the river. All things considered, we are justified in designating this occurrence one ot the most providential escapes of the day. Mr. W. H. Hunt, of Adelaide Road, gratefully acknowledges the receipt of £10 collected by a lady for him. He also wishes to thank the other kind friends who have assisted him in his illness. . t|UEEB J*EBLiNGS. — Odd sensations in Various parts of the body^ particularly in the head and lower extremities, which' do not amount to actual pain, but are, upon the whole, rather worse, trouble many 'persons.
