PllESENfT . 01- A . K * T ( TBN TO HER JUffJMTY . —Our readers will recollect an account in the Mercury a few months ago of tha whimsical fancy of an old woman named Baker , living at Scrediugton , near Eleaferd , wko sent a Jckt « n to the Queen . It was placed in a basket , fn » nkhed with white . cloths for it to lie on , nud coataioing an abundant supply of bread and butter for dta sustenance duri&g its long jotrney : the 'basket contained a letter , setting forth how that someitimf" before her Majesty waa crowned the old womaa had been informed in her xnidnight visisns , that her favourite tabby would * rave three kittens on the day of the ^ coronation , aoddiad been comiaanded to send one of the litter to the < QBeen :
the day arrived , and , woridroas to tell , the cat did bring forth , three kittens ;; tba old woman , not at all surprised at the went , selected the finest of -the feline tno , upon the head of wtioh / ter fancy had irxy ) re 8 S ; d a crown , and securing it in a hamper as above related , me dis , atchhfiit . by coach , havingappeudedto it tke following direction . ;— " To the Qseen in Lunnunbrelaewhere : to be Uken great care of / ' Nithing was . heard ol pussy ' s journey , and the papers -contaui , edno account of kerarnval at the Palace to satisfy the . curiosity of tie old w « nan , who , indeed , tad almost despaired of the catfs having reached bar destination ; when a few day * ago a letter bearing * ae royal arms wan received by the old lady :
it was from the Queen ! and contained the important information of the young kk *« having safely arrived , and that t « ne had become a very fine cat ; and ia proef of the letter ' s . being genuine , two Bant of England £ S notes were enclosed . The letfier and tUe uotes were tnintolligible to tbe old woman , who cafcoot read , but on her being informed of the meaning thereof , ahe could not restrain her expressions of gratimde to her Majesty , who h » i thus been the means of affording an accecsioa of <» mfort to one who , though fantastic in her notion * , k not an undeserving object .

Oue-half or more were buried by the parishes , their names and residences being unknown . Fatal Accident on thb Eastern Couktiss Railiioad . —Two Lives Lust . — Friday week , be'vreen fi * e and nix o ' clock , a most disastrous accident , attended with the loss of two lives , ^^
occurred on the line of the Eastern Counties railroad between Stratford ' and London . The live o ' clock train started from Devonshire-street , with about twenty or thirty passengers , and on their arrival at Bow had , according t « the statement of one of the passengers , acquired a velocity of something like thirty miles an boor , when , as if by some great obstruction , the train of carriages was suddenly stopped , and the vehicles rocked from aide to side , attended by tbe noise of an explosion of steam . Toe daors of the carriages being fastened at the outside , the inmates in vain attempted to release themselves . In a few miButet > , however , several men had come to their assistance when they got out upon the line of road , and were witnesses of a
most-appalling sceHe . The driver of the engine , who w named Meadovrs , and his companion , the stoker , both lay on the road in a most horrible state of mutilation : the stoker , whose name we could not learn , was literally cut in two , and Meadows was completely crashed , his head presenting the most shockiBg spectacle Imaginable . The engine bad , it appeared , been impeded in its course by the rising of a rail , which turned it ont ef its track , and , sinking in the soft ground , its-onward course , waa checked . It had , however , fortunately disengaged itself from the train of carriages , and to this accidental occurrence the safety of the passengers is to be ascribed . The full
power of the steam being on had , it appeared , burst the boiler , the whole machine being broken to pieces , and t * this the death of the unfortunate men is to be attributed . Most ef the passenger * immediately found their , way to tbe High' road , « ud tftokCjJachjjg for t own the bodies of the unfortonate men being removed to tbe Green Man at Stratford . There x » not the least doubt but their deaths mustbave been instantaneous . Meadows was known . t ' o be an expert engiHeer . The greatest exeitenient prevailsjin tbe neighbourhood , and the managers and director personally examined the sp « t where tho accident occurred , between nine and ten o ' clock last night .
Great Prize Fight between Mol * nsux THB BLACK , AND ReNNICK , 6 * NOBTHUHB « B . LAND . —It may be recollected by some that thtwe same men fought in the neighbourhood of Newcastle a few year * ago , when Molyneux beat his man in a short time . Since then Rennick ha * been in constant training , and it was generally believed by the knowing ones that he was now able to beat his opponent ; and was consequently backed to a great amount by his friends . The present fight waa-for
£ 100 a-side , and such was the exeitemtnt at Carlisle , Newcastle . Kendal , &c , that all sorts of conveyances were in requisition , and numbers hastened to the scene , who could ill afford either to waste their time or money . They fought at a place called the Hucks , between Keudal and Shap . The battle lasted one hour and fourteen minutes , and they tought sixty-four rounds , when Rennick was * ho severely punished that he could not come to time . Of course Molyneux was again declared to be tbe viotor .
Fatal Mistake by a Druggist . —An accident , terminating fatally , occurred lately at Bangor . The sufferer wa * Mrs . Margaret Doubavand , an unmarried lady , in her 67 ( h year , of independent circumstances . On the afternoon of Monday ae ' nnight , Dr . Roberts called upon her , and recommended her to have her usual draught ready , but not to take it unless she waa compelled to do s < rby the pain . At four o ' clock the next morning be was called to attend his patient , and on entering her roomy she exclaimed to him , " My God , I am poisoned ! That man has not sent the draught prescribed by you . I have felt all on fire since I took it / ' The unfortunate lady complained of agonizing pain . Every possible attempt was made to relieve
her , but in vain , and she lingered in great torment till the following Wednesday morning , about four o ' clock , when death relieved her from her sufferings . It appears ttat on Monday evening , after ths medical attendant ' s departure , the prescription was sent to tbe druggist , who had been in the habit of preparing a « jiijlar draught for the deceased for some tixi « feefore . Onfonwaately , he took the wrong phial , and mixed up the other ingredients with two drams of < cr « e » ote , instead of two drams of spirit of campbvr , « md so strong was the draft . impregnated with thatgwHrerfol medicine , that . the hand , of one of the female friends of the deceased was blistered by merely -coming in contact with it—Liverpool Mwowy .

He informed us that th <» official accounts of Mexia ' i defeat had been pubu * ae < i at Vera Cruz ; but he came away without any newspapers . It appears that General Mexia had advauced , at the head of 600 men , to within five leagues ot tae city of Puebla , and that he jpve battle to abont doable his force under two Generals of the Centralist ; tha action began about dajlight , and-victory favoured Mexia ' s * m * l \ army lor several hours .
