FATAL OMNIEIJS ACCIDENT AT LIVERPOOL.—

Gazette, who was sitting on the front seat of the omnibus,
suddenly fell off the vehicle, pitching violently on his head.
He was picked up as soon as possible and conveyed into the
Grapes Hotel, but life was already extinct. The head and
face of tho deceased, who was about 29 years of age, pre-
sented a frightful spectacle, being entirely covered with
blood. The front part of the skull was broken in, and he
had evidently received other severe injuries. The body was
conveyed to the dead-house, preparatory to an inquest.
