LIM8HOuSE-131ARKET.-On Friday an inquest was held at the Britannia Tavern, in the Commercial.road, before the Sheriff of Middlesex and a special jury, on the applicatien of Thoma Brt nton, Esq, of America-square, for a grant from the Crown to establish a public market at Limenouse. lr.- Scarlett and Mir. Chitty attended in support of the application, wbich was opposed on behalt of the proprietors and lessee of Spitalfields-market. A isumber of opulent and respectable inhabitants gave testimony in favour of the proposed mnarket, and the jury unanimously found that it would be beneficial to the inhabitants, and not prejudicial to Spitalfields or any other neighbouring market. On Friday last, about teb o'clock iti the evening, the London mail-coech, on its way to Edinburgh was overturneg about nine miles to the north of York. The coac Was full inside, and there were two passengers on the outside, who were thrown into an adjoining field, but fortunatelynoneof them received any material injury. The guard was somewhat bruised, but not so as to preVent him from proceeding. Thecoaehman alleged that his horses startled in consequence of some sheep that happened to be on the roid, by which means two of the wheels got into a ditch and led to the acCi- dent. It Was fortunate that the other two coaches happened to be near the spot at the time, as tbe guards andcoachmen gave every assistance in getting the coach placed again on the road.-Carli;e Journg(L
