1' e OCT. lB. A serious accnsest occurred on Friday afternoon, near the Asylum in consequence of one of the tore wheels of a Greenwich Seige, the driver of which was proceeding at a furious we, coming oft'; the coach was shiuwn over. and the outside passengers, of whom there sere severe', precipiteted with great force against the ground. Four of item, n males, ainungst whom were the Matron of Sr, et ert e.e s w er eheitse, arid her daughter, were seriously hurt; the latter, who is ie.:catty married, was buried in a heap of mud, and the coach teli upon her ; it was sortie time after she was extricated before Slit sheaved ,ay signs of lite; her mother received a severe contusion on the temple, and had her wrist dislocated. Mr. West, a Surgeon t f West wilistece was fortunately passing at the time, and affneled the tee Intuit:de suff:rers every aid which skill and humanity could suggest. The accident principally originated in the furious mangier in which the coachman was driving. A biro, been with gunpowder to the value of 8001. the propene of Messrs. Tinklcr mid .Monfoft, of Chilworth, near Guildford, was seized this week, on the "Tames, by the Police Officers of Union Hell, for beteg moored alongside several other vessels at Mann's Wharf, Bankside, the same being contrary to Act of Parliament, which declares among other things, that vessels, laden with gun powder, shell on no occasion be moored at a wirerf, or alongside nn) other vessel, but in the stream. The powder was forfeited to the Offi cers who seized it ; but, we understand, was afterwards redeemed by the tiwiters for Jan I. Sunday, about twelve o'clock, a very serious alarm took place on bond the Ganges prison ship, at Piymouth, wherein 750 French prisoners were confined.—Coe of them had actually set fire to the, ship, and burned a great hole ie her, before it was discovered. The incendiary was soon detected, aid put tit irons ; he confessed his guilt, and decl.red that it was his intention to destroy himself and com panions, who were tired of confinement. He was immediately taken on beard the San Y slim. The prisoners all assisted in putting out the fire, and it was with difficulty they were restrained from rearing the oil lister to pieces.—U pwards of '2600 French prisoners have been sent from the ship within these lour days. On klutiday senniget, the basin of the Berkeley Canal was re.: : when one barge, laden with coals, passed through the lock, having on board several respectable persons. On this occasion some Young teen had procured several swivel toms ; when, 'doleful to tell, iree of thein buret ; by which accident Me t Dowiteswell, a respecta ble timer, was killed on the spot ; Mr. W. Wheeler, jun. architect, and Mr. G. Holtord, printer, were dreadfully hurt. Mr. ‘Vheeler is since de .d, and but slight hopes cast be entertained of the recovery of Mr. Hultirrd. A most melancholy occurrence took. place in the boil-house of one of the Whale Fishing Companies of Aberdeen. Two young children, who had been allowed incaatiuusly to approach the cauldron, lintel. turrately slipped their feet, and, dreadful to relate, were precipitate) amongst the boiling blubber. One of them survived only a few minute:, and of the other no hope is eotertainesi. Monday selling's', during the chafing of.

Deewerere Fix as.—On Sunday evening, a Care broke otit in the premises of Messrs. Wilkinson and Wonium, musical-instrument makers, in Oxford.street, near ICIIIOVCr•SqUaIC, which raged with great violence, anal totally destroyed the manufactory, together with a house adjoining belonging to Mr. Stewart, cabinet-maker. Tuesday meriting, soon after two o'clock, the house of Mr. Merle, carver and gilder, in Leadenhall-street, was discovered to be on tire. and so rapid was its progress, that by the time the family had escaped from the trap-door on the tep of the house, the tisanes had cominuni sated to the neat house (Mr. Seabrook's), Messrs. Holroyd and Jack son's, and also to the exiinsive drug- waremouses of air. Wet lierbuurne, In Billiter-lane, the whole of whicti were consutned. It is reported that the loss to Mr. Wetherbounie is upwards of 25,0001. The fire men of the different offices exerted themselves with much etPct in extinguishing the flames, and by twelve o'clock at noon, the progress of the fire was stopped sufficiently to ensure the safety of the other buildings around it. We are happy to add that no lives were lose. A fire WA* out on the Bth of August, in a hospital for casualties at Munich. Tire building contained, at the 'time of the conflagration, . lee paele e te, the limier part of whom must have Imitated, had not a high wind, the period of the greatest danger, blown down the root, and eiehleirly extinguished the tIAMCS.

A like broke out at Baden, in the Austrian States, last month, Which eenisemed IY6 feauses, and several smell ViSa4ll4. The damage is estimated at 1,574.0e0 florins.
