THE LONDON GAS COMPANIES. Yesterday
morning an unexpected change presented itself in the
aspect of the London gas question, now before parliament.
The select committee had usembled, with Mr. Cardwell
in the chair, and Mr. Davison was about to make a con-
cluding address on behalf of the Board of Trade, when the
progress of the proceedings was stayed to allow of a private
conference between that gentleman and Mr. Burke, one of
the counsel for the gas companies. On the return of the
learned gentlemen to the committee mom, Mr. Burke
stated, that notwithstanding the unavailing postponements
which had already taken place, there seemed even yet a
prospect of a settlement being effected between the con.
panies and the Board of Trade, if further time were
allowed for that purpose. The points at roue appeared to
be narrowing, and he indulged a hope that it might yet be
possible to save the committee from a fruitless termination
of their labours. The chairman observed that he had
great pleasure in hearing this statement, and proposed that
the committee should adjourn until Tuesday next. This
course was agreed to, andthe committee shortly afterwards
rose.—Hrrald.

Swore ACCIDENT AT TUNBRIDGE RACER. —MT.
S. J. Bond, of Hitchin, well-known in the sporting
world, met with a very serious accident whilst riding
in the Hurdle Race on Midsummer-common on Tues-
day afternoon. In the first heat, Equinox, whom
he was riding, refused at the first fence, and
ran out, but Mr. Bond snooeeded in getting
the animal straight again, and it took his place in the
ruck. At the last flight of hurdles the horse shied, and
Mr. Bond was thrown heavily on to the hard grounds and
Homely clearing the jump immediately behind Equinox,
landed with one of his feet on Mr. Bond's chest. The un-
fortunate gentleman, who had sustained a severe con-
cussion of the brain, was removed in • state of insensibility
to the house of Mr. Lambert, the Half Moon Inn, where
be had been previously staying, and the services of Dr.
Ransom and Mr. Temple called in. Mr. Bond lay insen-
sible for several days, but yesterday (Friday) he showed
some signs of rallying, and there are hopes dist, as no bones
have been broken, and the sufferer is blessed with a good
constitution, he will ultimately recover.—Cambridge inde-
pendent.

ran into an Oysterhaven fishing smack, which had seven
man on board. The smack foundered immediately. Boats
were lowered from the Nebraska, and three men were
picked up, one of whom, however, • man named Patrick
Murphy, was found to be dead. Four others were never
seen, and of course were drowned. The night was dark
