Yesterday morning, about eight o'clock, the follow-
ing melancholy accident occurred at Knightsbridge. As a
gentleman named Newman, residing at No. 9, Pall-mall,
was riding in the direction of Kensington, his horse shyed,
and threw him with great violence on his head. The un-
fortunate gentleman when picked up was bleeding profusely
from his head. He was immediately assisted to St. George's
Hospital by police constable Jones, 55 T., when, on exami-
nation, it was found his head was dreadfully fractured. He
remains at the hospital in a very precarious state.

ACCIDENTS IN THE FOG.—Yesterday, during the
dense fog with which the metropolis was visited, a young
lady, between eighteen and nineteen years of age, the
daughter of Mr. Jefferies, of Goldsmith-street, Wood-street,
Cheapside, was ran against by a cart, in crossing the end of
King William-street, London Bridge, and knocked down,
the end of one of the shafts striking Miss Jefferies with tre-
mendous violence on the shoulder. On being raised up, the
young lady appeared to be much frightened and hurt. She
was conveyed home in a hackney-coach. A respectable
married woman, named Marshall, residing in Mint-street,
Borough, was knocked down by a hackney-coach in the
Commercial-road, Lambeth, and one of the wheels passed
over her right leg, severely fracturing the bone between the
knee and ankle joints. She was taken to St. Thomas's
Hospital. A woman named Flaxman, in crossing Hyde
Park, carrying her husband's dinner, walked into the Ser-
pentine River, and narrowly escaped being drowned.
DREADFUL MURDER IN NORFOLK.—On Thursday
-information was given at the different metropolitan police
offices of the murder of Hannah Manfield, a widow, residing
at a place called Danver near Norwich, who was found on
Tuesday morning, the 3d inst., with her throat cut nearly
from ear to ear, lying in the parlour of her own house.
There is no doubt the murder was effected for the purpose
of obtaining possession of her property, as she had the repu-
tation of being in comfortable circumstances. The articles
of plate taken from the house by the murderers, are as fol-
low :—One silver pint-mug, one silver cup, one silver ladle,
small and very much worked ; two dozen and a half of tea-
spoons, eight table-spoons, eight dessert-spoons, three pair
of sugar-tongs, two old-fashioned cream-jugs, one very much
worked, three silver salt-cellars, and two salt. spoons. The
silver was all old-fashioned, and some of it marked with the
letters I. M., and some of it H. I. ; also two silk pocket
handkerchiefs. Three men, who are suspected left the
public-house of a neighbouring village on the evening
preceding its committal, and were met a mile from
Danver, at three o'clock on the morning it was effected.
Tho following is a description of the men :—" Big Jack,"
is five feet eleven inches high, twenty-two years of age, dark
hair, swarthy complexion, long visage, stout made,wearing a
velveteen coat, with short flap underneath, corded breeches,
dark blue stockings, and high shoes, elated at the heels and
toes, weighs 15 or 16 stone. 'rhe other suspected man's
name is " George," stout made, and sandy hair ; he had with
him some lucifer matches and a box. The third man is
about twenty-three years of age, and also stout made, and
dressed as a labourer. A reward of 100/. has been offered
for the apprehension of the murderers.

Fox, whose pecuniary affairs were seldom in a very
flourishing state, on one occasion, being compelled, by ill-
ness, to lead a very abstemious life, told his friend Dudley
Long that he " lived by clock-work." " Yes," replied the
latter ; " I suppose you mean that you go tick, tick, tick."
The reign of Hugh Capet, the first of the present
dynasty in France, commenced in 987 ; a period long an-
terior to the Norman conquest.
