DOUBLE

ITS PRESENT SIZE.

The patronage and support hitherto accorded
to the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, has rendered
it necessary for the Proprietors to enter into
arrangements for its speedy Permanent Enlarge-
ment to Double its present size. Until this is
effected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever
a pressure of news, or an influx of advertisments,
shall render it necessary. In making this an-
nouncement, the Proprietors, grateful for the flat-
tering encouragement they have already received,
avail themselves of the opportunity to state that
they will spare neither pains nor expense to render
the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES the most accurate
and earliest authority upon all matters of news—
Political, General, Monetary, Commercial, and
Maritime. The new arrangements, when com-
pleted, will impose upon the Proprietors the
necessity of ceasing to supply extra Slips to
Subscribers, but no increase will be made in the
rate of subscription, which is now 38s. per annum.

THE DAY'S NEWS

The frightful accident which took place at the
Surrey Gardens, on Sunday afternoon, continues
to be the subject of much comment, not only in
London, but throughout the provinces. We pub-
lish to-day, such additional particulars as we have
been able to glean from the London papers, from
which we learn, that yesterday morning another
sufferer was taken to Guy's Hospital ; her name is
Jane Baker, aged seventeen, residing at Pauline
place, Bermondsey, She sustained a contusion of
both ankles, and herhands were severely lacerated.
She was the first who caught hold of the bannisters,
and fell when they gave way. At that moment a
person took hold of her gown, and thus slightly
broke her fall. The young girl, Margaret Keston,
who went to the gardens with her aunt, and who
was severely hurt, is gradually recovering, and it is
expected that she may be able to leave the
hospital in the course of today. All the other
patients in the hospital are going on favourably,
and there are no reports of any serious character
in reference to those who were taken to their
respective homes or to the houses in the neigh-
bourhood of the accident. The Globe of last
night states that " the police authorities this morn-
ing received information of several other cases of
persons being seriously if not fatally injured. Our
reporter was informed by Mr. Sergeant Coppin

that another death had been reported to him.
A lady, the wife of a city tradesman, residing
in Fenchurch-street, was carried out of the dense
crowd by some friends who had accom-
panied her to the gardens, and was placed by
them in a cab. She was then insensible, and
upon arriving at home medical aid was obtained,
but her injuries were so extensive that she expired
this morning. Several other serious cases have also
come to the knowledge of the police, who state that
there were at least 200 persons more or less injured."
We understand that a further inspection by the
officials took place yesterday morning, scientific
gentlemen being present, but nothing transpired
to alter the decision previously arrived at, that no
cause for alarm existed before the cry was raised.
The Express, of last night, contains the following
Up to this morning, the police, who had been
verY energetic in their enquiries, had been unable
to ascertain -
any thing respecting the unfortunate
boy who was
carried out dead by his father. His
name and address, or those of his parents or
friends, remain a mystery. That the poor boy was
dead is certain, as he Was laid on the table by a
policeman. and viewed by a
surgeon, who pro_
nounced life to be extinct, before he was placed
in his father's possession. Of course, every
particular respecting this case must become known
for a certificate of his
when the parents apply
death. The mystery surrounding the little girl in
Gny's Hospital has been cleared up. Her name is
Reston, and she is the niece of the unfortunate
Mrs Meed, whose name appeared amongst the
killed yesterday. The deceased took the child to
the hall, but they got separated, and while the
child escaped with her life, her protector perished.
The child is not likely to die. She has sus-
tained only a slight scalp wound, but
suffers considerably from being so frightened.
The death of her friend somewhat explains
why she was not enquired for immediately after
the accident became known. A great number of
