ALARMING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning
the Substitute of Nelson-street, Greenwich, were consi-
derably excited, owing to the sudden embedment in the road-
way of the wheels of Bray's traction steam engine, of five
tons weight, which was pomading from Pt nes factory with
• main shaft. weighing 22 toes 8 cwt., belonging to the ship
Howe, lj ing in Woolwich Dockyard. It appears that the
engine was steaming up the road at the rate of about three
miles an boor, when, in order to avoid some newly put down
macadamised stories, it was turned towards the kerb, bat that
part of the road being over tome cellars attached to the
houses, it is 'opposed the roadway, being weaketud by the
ponderoua weight upon it, suddenly gave way, emitter the
highest fears that something tearful would be the rmult.
TM traffic on that side the road was at once stopped, and •
large crowd assembled, requiring the exertions of Inspectors
Most and Ellis and emend police officers to keep them clear
flan probable personal M 31117 while the work of extrication
was ping on. A number of labouring men were immediately
obtained, and, by means of powerful Jacks and iron levers
and plates., with heavy steam power, they fortunately rao-
caded In raising the immense weight upon the sound earth,
without any further accident, the delay beteg only a little
over en hour.
FATAL ACCIDENTS.—On Saturday Mr. Thomas
Ripley watchmaker, of Cheleasoras in theta of mowing the
VMiffing from the salting bap at Fulham to the
arian's Stab*, whom he missed his footing, and falling

The body wee got out, quite deed, end removed to the Ful-
ham dead-hones. A quantity of valuable property wee

&weed matt who walked with • crutch, was paroing through
High-street; Poplar, when two lade, who were reaps alter
each other, yen violeetty against him. The %infonaute
man was thrown under the wheels of a heavily laden wagon,
which passed over him. Be was taken to Poplar Hospital,
when he was found to be deed. From documents found on
deceased's person, his name is supposed to be Devia.
A DESPERATE LEAP.--On Saturday a young girl,
named Mary Taylor, residing with her parents in Great Wild-
street, Drury-lane, who, in order to keep her out of the men-
, piny of tome improperacquaintances, had been looked in a back
room on the second-floor by her mother, who had occasion to
lens the boas, and failing to force the door, leaped from the
window as to the atone yard below, fracturing both her logs,
and sustaining other fearfnl injuries. tlhe was taken to
King's College Hoepital, where she lice without hope of re-

cowry.
DISTRUCTIVE FIRS IN DRURT-LANE.—Yesterasy

portment, the workshops over the engiowbottee, deem-
=alnd other inachnery, were destroyed, es well as some
pounds worth of leather ransomed. The
brawn e the firm will not, however we believe, be re-
tarded by the diseetrorm tweet. As to the origin at the fire.
nothing that could be positively relied upon could be ascer-
tained, but there seems every ground for supposing that it
commenced in the engine-house, and extended from that pat
of the building to tbo storm.

urice above Lake Victoria the Dorian was entered.
With but little difficulty the steamer leeched a pent above
Mount Murehlson, that heft the verge of the country that

woad sot have been safe to ascend farther ; but at a future
