EXTRAORDINARY AND DREADFUL AC-

CIDENT IN HYDE-PARK.

Yesterday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a dreadful
accident occurred in Hyde-park, under the following extraordinary
circumstances :—The Marquis of Londonderry was riding on
horseback, at a very quick rate, to his residence in Park lane,
Piccadilly, followed by his groom, when suddenly, near Stanhope-
gate, the Noble Marquis's horse by some accident fell; his groom
Perceiving the perilous situation of his Lordship, proceeded at full
gallop to his assistance, and to secure the bridle of the horse to
keep him from plunging. At the same instant another groom, in
an opposite direction, also observed the situation of the Marquis,
and, with the same laudable feelings, rode up, when the two
grooms' horses came into sudden collision, with such tremendous
force as to knock each rider off his horse, and they both lay on:the
road for some time in a state of insensibility. Assistance was im-
mediately procured, when it was discovered that the thigh of the
Marquis's groom was broken, and that he was also dreadfully
injured in the hip; he was conveyed to St. George's Hospital.
A coach was procured for the other groom, and by the direction
of, his master he was conveyed to his residence, dreadfully
bruised. The Noble Marquis was enabled to proceed home,
without having sustained any particular injury from his fall.

BIRMINPIIAM AND LONDON JUNCTION

CANAL BILL.

The printed votes of the House of Commons give cor_
rectly the resolutions and reprimand of the Speaker on the
motion respecting "the conduct of Mr. Thomas Eyre
Lee," the solicitor of the Bill, as follows :

I. That Thomas Eyre Lee, the solicitor to the London and
Birmingham Junction Canal Petition, did deposit in the Private
Bill Office of this House a list of subscribers to the said under-
taking, and did afterwards attest the truth and correctness of
the said list before the Committee to whom the said petition was
referred. _ _

2. 1 hat it appears by the minutes of the evidence, taken be
fore the Committee to whom the several petitions complaining
of the said subscription list were referred, that the said subscrip-
tion list is a false and fictitious list.

3. That the said Thomas Eyre Lee, though warned as to the
suspicious character of the said list, did nevertheless, as agent for
the Bill, attest its truth without due inquiry into the circum-
stances to which his attention had been specially directed.
4. That Thomas Eyre Lee be, for his said offence, called to
the bar of this House, and there reprimanded by Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Thomas Eyre Lee, being called to the bar, received a re-
primand from Mr. Speaker, and then he was directed to with-
draw.

The reprimand is as follows :
Thomas Eyre Lee, the House, after lengthened and mature
consideration of the case in which you are involved, and having
given every attention to the petition which you have presented,
have come to the conclusion that the offence which you com-
mitted is of a grave and serious nature, as affbcting the dignity
and character of this House, and of the most dangerous conse-
quences to the property of individuals who may be concerned in
the passing of Private Bills. It has been proved to the convic-
tion of the House, that the Subscription List which you de-
posited, and which you attested before the Committee, was false
and fictitious in itself; and however severe a censure it must be
to every honourable mind to receive the reprimand of this House,
this House, in justice to the parties concerned in the case to
which their attention has been particularly directed, as well as
with a v!ew to prevent the recurrence of any fraud of a similar
nature, and to give security to those whose interests may be con-
cerned in Private Bills, and further to vindicate the honour and
dignity of the House, do direct that you be reprimanded for this
offence. I have? in obedience to the command of the House,
communicate this reprimand to you, and I have now to acquaint
you that you are discharged.
Ordered, neminc cantradiccnte, That what has been now said
by Mr. Speaker, in rep, imamling Thomas Eyre Lee, be entered
in the Journals of the House.

COVENT-GARDEN.

RETIREMENT of Mr. FAWCETT from the STAGE"

Last night, after the play of Charles the Second, Mr'
Fawcett, who performed for the last time in the character
of Captain Copp, came forward and delivered the follow-
ing farewell address.:—

Ladies and Gentlemen,—The moment is arrived when it
requires me to have strong nerves not to run into one of two ex-
tremes. Should I now affect apathy, it would he in bad taste;
and did I give way to inaudling sensibility, it would be ridicu-
lous. Partial friends have asked me why I quit the stage ? Ladies
and Gentlemen, I have sixty-two reasons, and every one a year
long. Were Ito say (at my time of life and with my infirmi-
ties) I am sorry to leave this arduous calling, I should not speak
the truth ; but if I were to say I did not feel a pang at parting
from you, I should tell a lie, "an odious damned lie." I have
held up my hand at the bar of public opinion many a day. My
trial has lasted thirty-nine years—this night brings it to a close.
Here have been arranged my Judges—here now sit my Jury.—
May I hope for a favourable verdict ? Before summing up it is
usual to produce witnesses to character. I have a few, and I
trust I may have the advantage of their testimony. The parish
clerk and sexton of Windsor, one Caleb Quotem, wishes to say
a word or two in my behalf. A learned tutor, an LL.D., and
an A.S.S., Dr. Pangloss, has volunteered his services. An
honest tradesman, from Penzance, in Cornwall, Job Thornberry,
believes he can induce you to think favourably of me. A worthy
Baronet, a great sportsman, though a sad invalid, Sir Mark
Chase, would speak; and, though last, not least, my old friend
from Wapping, Captain Copp, presses forward to entreat you to
look kindly on me. I have many others, but will not trespass on
your patience ;—and now, Ladies and Gentlemen, let me drop
all assumption of character, and as myself, as plain John Faw-
cett, let me (from the bottom of my heart) thank you for all
your kindnesses. It has been my ambition through a long ser-
vitude never, either in my public character as an actor, or in my
private character as a man, to do any thing which might dis-
grace my profession. lam now about to leave it, and if you are
of opinion I have succeeded, I ask your kind approbation. If
you have reason to think otherwise, I am %ire I do not deserve
it. I certainly have one great consolation at this trying mo-
ment—a gratification I can the more enjoy because you, my best
friends, will partake in it—it is the unprecedented compliment
which has been paid me by my brothers and sisters of my pro-
fession. They throng round me to bid me farewell, and to offer
me all the assistance in their power. The time of night forbids
my availing myself to the extent I could wish of their invaluable
services , but many of the brightest ornaments of the stage are
now waiting to make their bow to you, out of regard to an old
comrade. Permit me to have the pride and happiness of intro-
ducing them. Once more I return you mygrateful acknowledg-
ments fcr all your kindness, and then make you my last bow."
(Here the curtain rose, and discovered a great part of Drury_
lane, and all the Covent-garden Company.)

. ,
The address was followed by those testimonies of public
feeling which showed how highly the• audience appreciated
the merits of this able and popular actor, and how much
they regretted his final departure from the stage, which his
taleuts had so long adorned.
