that it was not of that serious consequence as at first re-
ported in the City.

ACCIDENT TO THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.
—On Saturday morning an accident happened to the Duke
of Wellington, which might have been attended with serious
consequences. His Grace was hunting between Walmer and
Upper Deal; whilst crossing a bank his horse's feet slipped,
and coming down on its haunches threw the Duke off, who fell
on his back upon the ground. Lord Mahon, fearing the
horse might roll upon his Grace, instantly darted forward and
succeeded in getting him up, we are happy to state, without
having sustained any injury. His Grace, after shaking the
dirt from his cloak, remounted, and continued the hunt as if
nothing had happened.—Kentish Gazette.
The General Steam Navigation Company's packet
the Giraffe, from Rotterdam, arrived off the Custom-house
last night.
