It is stated that it is probable that on the expiration of the present commission of the Pearl, now flying Commodore Goodenough's pennant, she will be made a present to the Government of this colony as a training ship, and will be stationed permanently at Wellington. Timaru, January 17. The North coach met with a serious accident coming into Timaru last evening. When half-way down the hill, after passing Thompson's boarding-house, one horse got its leg over the trace, and caused them all to bolt. They went along the main road at a mad gallop. The coach caught a lamp-post and broke it off, and fell over on to the footpath. The horses then dashed away with the forecarriage. Thirteen people were on the coach, who were all more or less bruised, but no bones were broken. Messrs Blackett, Pavitt, and Grierson, and Mrs ftedfern, were shaken and bruised the most. The horses, after leaving the coach, went a few chains down the street, and struck a telegraph-post, and all fell. In the collision one horse broke his leg and was afterwards shot. No blame is attached to the driver, Mr Griffin, who showed great presence of mind.
