BRIGHTON RACES.

The extraordinary conduct of the committee places the sub-
scribers and owners of horses engaged in a very awkward si-
tuation ; not only have they not fixed the time hitherto on the
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday following the races, but all
applications have been treated with contempt. It is high time
that something should be done.

Yesterday afternoon a dreadful accident occurred
in Piccadilly to Captain Sir William Symons, Surveyor Ge-
neral of the Navy. As he was proceeding along Piccadilly in
his cabriolet, attended by his groom, his horse, a very high-
spirited animal, suddenly took fright, and threw Sir William
and his servant into the road. Several persons who witnessed
the accident hastened to the spot, and Sir William was imme-
diately conveyed to the Vine-street station-house, where he
Was attended by three surgeons, when it was ascertained
that his thigh was broken (it is believed in two places.) He
vas afterwards removed, by his own desire, to his residence in
Somerset House, on a stretcher, borne on the shoulders of four
Ilr'lieemen of the C division, where he now remains in a very
dangerous state. The servant, excepting a slight bruise on
the lace, escaped unhurt.
A child belonging to a respectable farmer in the
beighbourhood of Stotie4ven, while attending some cattle on
field, thoughtlessly fastened a rope which was hanging to
°ne of the cattle round her middle. The animal taking fright,
"'ragged her in this state a coasidarable distance before she
01. ed be relieved. She received so much injury, that she
"IY survived fur about an hour.
Yesterday morning between eight and nine o'clock
the following accident occurred to Michael Sullivan, 28 years
Gage, a labourer, in the employ of Messrs. Blessenton and
flwood, manufacturing chemists. It appears that the un-
ortunate young man was engaged oiling the cool of a steam-
i"ine at the period it was working, when thel' sleeve of his
lehet got entangled in the machinery, and before he could
,erisenMe it his hand and arm were drawn in and torn and
I_l.:shed frightfully before the engine could be stopped. On
~"Ing extricated he was removed to the hospital. From the
Shoulder must be performed.
The b,

qinnwenby a dreadful fire. Three hundred houses were burnt
e _nweith the Basilican convent, the school, and the prison.
h building of the Cafe of Cadets was saved. The Em-
peror immedi

The ferment of politics having subsided, Malvern
is beginning to fill very fast. Since the elections of Here-
ford, Worcester, Cheltenham, and Tewksbury terminated, our
visitors have increased fourfold. There is a report this morn-
ing that her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent has written

Castle at Eastnor for her accommodation.

made an application to a foreign Power, through its Ambassa-
dor at the English Court.
The Grand Duke and Duchess of Oldenburg, ac-

Yesterday morning between ten and eleven o'clock
a serious accident occurred in Hyde Park to Colonel Billing_
ton, a gentleman between 50 and 60 years of age. It appears
that the gallant Colonel proceeded into Hyde Park, mounted
on a fine spirited horse, for the purpose of witnessing the re-
view of the two battalions of Household infantry. Soon after
he had entered the Park the troops commenced firing. The
report so alarmed the horse that he suddenly reared up, and
Colonel Billington unfortunatly pulled the horse over on him.
On being raised from the ground some ribs were found to be
fractured. H
e was conveyed home in a gentleman's carriage, to
procure surgical assistance.
TORYISM IN TILE CILURCII.—" No surrender"
has been the watchword of the Tories throughout Lancashire
during the present contest. Everywhere have they displayed
a willingness to resort even to the most unworthy means in
order to gain a disgraceful victory. As a specimen of the
animus which prevails among them in this district, it deserves
to be mentioned that on Sunday the flags of Egerton and
Wilbraham, the Tory candidates for South Lancashire, were
hoisted on Deane church. W. Hulton, Esq., J. P., appeared
at that place of worship on the day mentioned with a Tory
coloured rosette on his breast. This is not the mode which
any wise friend of the church would take if he wished to make
it beloved and respected. Its worst enemies could hardly
devise a better scheme fur throwing discredit on it.—Bolton
Free Press.

An accident, which proved fatal, befel John Black-
burn, sen., bobbin-turner, of Stainton Mill, at Manchester, a
few days ago. It appears that he was descending the stairs of
a manufactory, where he had been doing business, when,
melancholy to relate, he fell, and received injuries, which ter-
minated his existence a short time afterwards,
