THE ACCIDENT TO SIR CHARLES WOOD.--We
have pleasure in announcing that Sir Charles Wood
was yesterday afternoon much better than could have been
anticipated, considering the somewhat serious nature of
the injuries he received while hunting with Lord Hawke's
pack at Marr, near Doncaster, as stated in The Sun of
yesterday. Mr. Kenyon, of Hooton Pagnell, who is in
attendance upon Sir Charles, has after an examination
pronounced his opinion that no serious results will follow,
and there is every reason to hope that the right hon.
baronet will not be confined to his room more than a few
days. The injury, it is ascertained, is confined to an
abrasion of the skin of the head, and to a severe shaking
of the whole body, consequent upon the violent contact
with the stone wall. The wound upon the head, though
only superficial, caused the loss of much blood. The regret
in the district at the accident is great, for Sir Charles
Wood is one of the most popular men in the West Riding.
The excitement oacasioned is somewhat allayed by the
favourable report given by Mr. Kenyon. The inquiries at
Hickleton-hall yesterday were very numerous.
THE COST OF BEING ASSAULTED.—At the Man-
chester Police-court on Thursday a soldier named
Sherlock was fined 10s., or, in default, committed to pri-
son for 14 days, for an assault upon Mr. Homer, a pawn-
broker. Some time after the magistrate's decision, Mr.
Horner returned into court and complained that he bad
been called upon to pay the costs of the defendant'seotnim-
mitment. Mr. Fowler, the presiding magistrate, told b

was present, mentioned that a friend of his had a relic which
would be a valuable addition to the Shaksperean Museum
at that place—the skull of Ben Jonson. This friend had
attended the funeral of Dr. --, at Westminster Abbey,
when he perceived that the next grave, that of Ben Jonson,
had been opened, and he could see the skeleton of the body
iu the coffin. He could not resist the opportunity of putting
in his hand and extracting the skull, which he placed under
his cloak and thus carried it off. From a remark which the
blind gentleman dropped Dr. Richardson thought he could
identify the offender, and he asked if the person's initials
did not consist of certain letters. The blind gentleman,
who was not a little startled at finding that his secret was
out, admitted the fact, but prayed that no advantage might
