_ltlacwr .u.SCAPE.—Dr. Hunter Lane, of
Brook,
street, was riding yesterday on horseback in Rotte row,
when a dog flew at the heels of the horse upon whinch his
eonSpanion a young lady, was riding. The horse took
fright, and the lady was thrown off. The doctor jumped
from his horse, although both were cantering rather craickly
at the time, and so, by timely assistance, rescued the lady
from her perilous condition. The horses leaped over the
rails, and were with difficulty stopped near Grosvenor-gate,
without having done any mischief. This permission of curs
into the park ought certahily to be prevented. Many acci-
dents have arisen from the same cause, and the owners of
the dogs too commonly enjoy rather than deplore the acci-
dents-consequent on their animals' conduct.
A• Doer..—A - duel with swords took place at
Madiid on the Ist, between M. Sagasti and M. Mantilla, in
consequence of a political dispute. They were both wounded
in the luuad, but not seriously,
