ACCIDENTS DURING THE PROCESSION.

In Pall-mall some alarm was created among the
crowd by a cab-horse taking fright, and dashing at
full speed amongst the people. Two men, John
Roaks, a picture.frame maker, and Isaac Tucker, a
carpenter,were knocked down and run over. They
received severe injuries, and were removed to
Charing-cross Hospital. A number of accidents, of
a more or less serious nature, occurred from the
dangerous practice of rushing between the horses
and vehicles in the streets. A boy named Smith
was so badly injured by a kick from a horse, re-
ceived near London-bridge, that he was removed to
Guy's Hospital, where the operation of amputation
was performed, and his life is despaired of. Several
females and children have been injured from a
similar cause. In the rush consequent upon the
passing of the procession along Pall-mall East
several ladies were thrown down and severely in-
jured. Mrs. Lydia Constable, 31, Cleveland-street,
was trampled under foot, and was in imminent
danger of her life. Her shoulder was dislocated,
and she received severe contusions. She was re-
moved to the Charing-cross Hospital by the police.
At the same time Eliza Searle, 34, St. Martin's-
lane, was thrown down and received injuries of a
similar character. Several others were also injured,
and had to be conveyed to the hospital, where the
house surgeon, Mr. Mallam, attended to their re-
quirements. A cruel outraage was committed in
the same street, upon a boy named James Edward
Blatch, aged 15 years. He got hold of a shilling
that had been foolishly thrown from a window
amongst the crowd. A man immediately knocked
him down, and then fell, sitting, on his face, and
remained in that position until the poor boy gave up
the shilling. The boy had to be carried to the hos-
pital, where he was found to have sustained dreadful
injuries to the face. At other hospitals several per-
sons came for the surgeons to dress wounds received
in fights for places, and in one instance from a blow
from a policeman's staff. During the dreadful
crush which took place in the crowd endeavouring
to pass through the iron gates at the entrance
of Hyde-park, after the procession had passed
through, a poor woman with an infant in her arms
must have been crushed to death through her
anxiety to save hrr child, when a volunteer officer,
who it was afterwards ascertained was Lieutenant
Hamley, of the Duke of Corn wall's Rifle Volunteers,
seized it out of the arms of the mother, and carried,
or rather was carried with it, holding it up as high
as be could across the road at Hyde-park-corner,
and down about 50 yards in the Green-park, when
he laid it down almost exhausted; and although
many who had witnessed Lieut. Hamley's conduct
offered to take the child, he refused to leave it until
the mother came. It turned out that the mother
was pushed by the crowd down Piccadilly, and it
was half an hour before she recovered her child.
On her finding it her joy was so great that she
could scarcely speak. She was afterwards assisted
home by women who were passing. She was the
wife of a bricklayer living somewhere in Pimlico.

Mr. Weekes, sculptor, and Mr. Boxall, portrait
painter, have been elected Royal Academicians. The
honours of the Associateship have been given to Mr. Le
Jeupe.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A sad accident,
resulting in the immediate death of two men, and
serious injury to a third, occurred on Thursday on the
South Yorkshire Railway, near Wombwell Station. The
three untortmate men formed part of a gang engaged in
repairing the line, and when a train approached they
either did not hear, or did not understand, the warning to
stand olear, consequently the train struck them, killing
two of their number, named John James and Bingley
Swallow, on the spot, and so injuring the third, named
Thomas Turner, that there seems to be no hope of his re-
covery.

PRINCE ALFRED A LIEUTENANT.—A. letter from
our Malta correspondent, under date of March 3,
says " His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, since his re-
moval to the Royal Naval Hospital, has been progressing
most favourably. Last week shortly after his removal, he
passed his examination for lieutenant. The captains who
examined him were the Hon. T. Egerton, of the St. George ;
W. 0. Stewart, of the Marlborough; and Commander Mar-
soil, of the Firefly. Directly the ceremony was over his
commission as lieutenant was handed to him, and he now
awaits kis passage to England to join her Majesty's ship
Racoon. It is strange that he should have passed his first
step to promotion in an hospital." _

Sir Robert Peel has forwarded a cheque for £2O

THE ANGLO-CHINESE EXPEDITION.—On Thurs-
day last a magnificent despatch paddle steamer,
ordered by Captain Sherard Osborne for his Anglo-Chinese
fleet, was successfully launched from the yard of Mr. John
White, of West Cowes, Isle of Wight. Her leading dimen-
sions are as follow :—Length between perpendiculars, 239 ft.;
breadth of beam, 29ft. ; tonnage, builders' measurement,
1,000 tons. The engines, which are of 300-horse power,
are constructed by Messrs. Day and Co., of the Northam
Ironworks, and will be placed and fitted on board in the
Southampton docks. From the beautiful lines of this very
handsome steamer, and the reputation of her builders, this
last new addition to Captain Osborne's fleet will,
it is con-
fidently predicted, attain a high rate of speed under steam.
The screw steam yacht Thule, lately the property of Mr.
Arthur Anderson, has been purchased for use as a despatch
boat for the fleet, and is fitting out for the purpose in South.
ampton docks.
