GUIDE TO THE ROYAL ACADEMY.—Messrp.
Routledge and Co. announce for immediate publication, a

The Akhbar of Algiers states that although the
natives in general have contributed but little to the
fund for the relief of the cotton operatives in France, the
Arab tribes of the military territories in the province of
Oran have answered the appeal made to them by a sub-
scription amounting to 42,944 f., which has been forwarded
to the Minister of the Interior.
SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—A very extraordinary
circumstance took place in Regent street yesterday
afternoon. A groom was exercising a horse in a gig be-
longing to a livery-stable keeper, when the animal bolted
from the Haymarket along jermyn-street, and arrived in
R gent street juet as the driver of a cab was " crawling"
down the street. The horse in the gig had too much way
on to be stopped, and the cabman could not wake up his
animal in time to avoid a collision, the effect of which was
most extraordinary. The gig horse, a showy grey, went
completely through the cab, dashing in the near side and
thrusting his head and shoulders out at the other, in which
position it remained firmly fixed. The cab was, of course,
upset by the impetus, and the hind axle was snapped
in two. The gig was as much a wreck as the other
vehicle, but both drivers, though pitched out into the
road, sustained no injury. The crash of the collision was
so loud that a crowd was drawn together from the sur-
eminai
rounding neighbourhood in a moment, and amongst those
who ran to help was a carpenter with a saw, who, in
a short time, by cutting in two these portions of the wreck
which held the gig horse confined, succeeded in releasing
it, to

been in it death would in all probability have ensued. A

and nothing now remains but to settle who was in fault by
