FATAL ACCIDENT.—Last evening an inquest was
taken by Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hospital, on the body
of a man whose name is supposed to be Finch or Smith, but
who does not appear to have had relative, friend, or ac-
quaintance. He was a helper in the stables at the Clock-
house, Hammersmith-broadway, and on Friday morning,
while riding a spirited horse along the road, a dog flew from
the pavement at the animal, which caused him to shy to the
other side of the broadway, and he fell down, with the de-
ceased under him, who was taken up insensible, and carried
to St. George's Hospital, where he remained in nearly a
similar condition until his death on Sunday night. The base
of the skull was fractured, and there was laceration of the
brain. The Coroner said he had no hesitation in stating that
persons who knowingly
kept dogs of this nature, although
the offence would not amount to manslaughter, in a similar
case of death, were liable to heavy damages under Lord
Campbell's Act, if any relative took the matter up. The jury
observed they were glad to hear this from the coroner, as
they often witnessed accidents of a similar-character. Verdict
—Accidental Death.
DEATII OF LADY JANE D ALRYMPLE HAMILTON.
—This lady, whose death took place at Paris last Sunday,
was the eldest daughter of the celebrated Admiral Lord
Duncan, and sister of the Earl of Camperdown. In her
youth she was reckoned one of the most beautiful women
of her day, and attracted much admiration on that remark-
able occasion when, hanging on the veteran arm of her
stately and gallant father, she appeared in the Royal pro-
cession which went to St. Paul's after the battle of Cam-
perdown to give thanks for the great naval victories. She
afterwards married Sir Hew Dalrymple Hamilton, of
Bargeny and North Berwick, in Scotland. Their only
child, and the heiress of the great Bargeny estates, was
married to the Duc de Coigny, and their eldest daughter
and heiress is married to Mr. Dalrymple, the Lord-Lieu-
tenant of Wigtonshire, and heir-presumptive of the Earl of
Stair, who also married the sister of Lady Jane Dalrymple
Hamilton.

pass, and at the same time plunge his hand into her pocket,
and steal a purse. The thief coolly examined it, and laughed
on seeing it well stocked. He emptied the cash into his
pocket, and threw the purse away. The police then seized
him. The lady Who had been robbed could scarcely believe
her eyes when the agents called to her, and presented her
with her purse. Besides the sum stolen from her. Nathan
had several pieces of gold in his possession. He was sent to
the Prefecture of Police.— Gahgnani's Messenger.
CHEAP OMNIBUS FARES.—The proprietors of the
numerous omnibuses on the Oxford-street and Holborn
line, from Paddington to the City, &c., have now adopted
a table of fares on a scale of liberality and cheapness never
yet enjoyed by the public on this, confessedly the most
important omnibus route in the metropolis. By this new
table there is a fare of 3d. for the whole distance from Re-
gent-circus, Oxford-street, to the extreme end of the jour- 1
ney eastward, besides the same fare for the half journey
either way, as before. In addition to this there is a two-
penny fare from the Marble-arch to the bottom of Holborn-
hill, and another to the end of the journey, and &so from
the starting place at Paddington or Bayswater to the
Marble-arch, so that the passengers have now the oppor-
tunity of riding 6 a third of the distance throughout the
line for a third portion of the fare. In addition to these
facilities for cheap travelling, the cheap omnibuses at one
penny and twopenny fares maintain their ground on this
road, and are very liberally supported. A penny fare has
also been adopted on the New-road line from Paddington to
the Portland-road, which is a distance equal to the length of
Oxford-street, and is the first adoption of this extremely lo
fare on this important road.
