ACCIDENT TO MR. FRANCIS ELOYD.—A. serious
accident, .ery nearly attended with fatal consequences, Iris
befallen this gentleman. He was trying oa Fri Jay to break
a thorouvh-bred horse of his (a racer, aged), into leaping,
with a view of converting him into a hunter. At a trifling
leap, a dry ditch and low rails, the horse made so unnecessary
and unexpected a spring, by admeasurement upwards of six
yards, that M'r. Lloyd sacs flung with tremendous ferco upon
his head to the earth. He struck the ground, a ploughed
field, with such violence as to leave a considerable dent, h's
hat having fallen off. His servant, who was riding beside
him, galloped off to Birmingham, four miles distant, for me-
dical aid, after calling some labourers' attention to his nu
fortunate and prostrate master. In three hours he returned
with Mr. Bowyer Vaux, Mr. Lloyd's surgeon : but that gen-
tieman found it impossible for some timo to draw blond from
him, so entirely was animation suspended. With difficulty he
was then removed to the Gough's Arms Tavern, at Perry
Barr, and remained under surgical care until the following
evening, when Mrs. Lloyd, of Bingley-house, his mother,
cotiyeecl him to her residence in her carriage, but sensibility
ev,s far from being restored until the following Tuesday. The
injury, we understand, is confined to a concussion of the brain.
Mr. Francis Lloyd is a balker in Birmingham, and one of the
roost active Police Magistrates of that town.

Monday afternoon, between four and fire o'clock,
the following frightful and appalling accident occurred in
Villiers-street, Strand, to a waggoner in the employ of Messrs.
Cuthbert and Sons, coal-merchants, liungerford-market. It
appears that the unfortunate man was driving his employers'
wsggen up Villiers-street, into the Strand, laden with three
tons and a half of coals, di-awn by seven horses, a man leading
the fore-horse, and the waggoner the shaft one,
unfor-
funatcly, his feet slipped beneath him, and he fell ; before he
hid power to extricate himself, the wheels of the waggon,
with its ponderous weight, passed over his lower extremities,
crushing them in a frightful manner. The screams of the un-
fortunate sufferer were pitiable. when,
Some persons who witnessed
the melancholy catastrophe hastened to his assistance, and a
shutter being procured, he was conveyed on it to Charing-
cross hospital, where, on his arrival, on an examination by the
surgeon.% of the injuries he had sustained, they were discovered
to Le so extensive and serious, that no hopes are entertained
of his recovery.

ANTWERP, Jan. 27.---Our City, too, in its turn,
has had a considerable fire. Last night, at ten o'clock, a fire
broke out in the sugar manufactory of Mr. J. Van Overlen ;
though it was got under by twelve o'clock, the building was
a'most entirely consumed, but the dwelling-house was saved.
The manufactory and its contents, which were almost entirely
destroyed, were insured. The damage done by the fire in the
Hospital of Bererloo, on the ',4th, is stated to be 200,000
francs. Four men lost their lives on the spot, being entirely
burnt; and of ten others who wero severely injured, three
have since died. The seven others are recovering.

COVENTRY.—We havg. to state that a contagious
disorder (we fear a malignant cholera) is producing the most
alarmiag havoc in the House of Industry at Coventry. The
matron (Mrs. Warring) died on Friday last; and we hare
been furnished from an authentic source, with the following
melancholy list of deaths in that institution alone, in the
course of a single week, up to Wednesday morning last.
The destruction is frightful—twenty in two days, forty-six in
the week, amounting to one-sixth of the number in the house,
the whole being 280— Warwick Advertiser.

Mr. Charles Borrows, mason, of St. Austell, after
studying for many years the beet method of destroying damps
in coal mines, has succeeded in constructing a machine which
will effectually destroy them, and enable the miner to prose-
cute his work with the aid of a lighted candle, without
lanthorn or any covering, in perfect safety. The invention is
simple and not expensive, and we trust for the sake of the in-
ventor, and those for whom his invention is intended, that it
will become generally in use, so that Mr. Borrows may be re-
warded for his ingenuity and philanthropy.—Western Times.

SIR JAMKS GRAHAM.—A writer of fustian in
the Carlisle Patriot, compares the Cumberland Baronet, whose
desertion of all his former (professed) political opinions, is so
notorious, to a " noble stag I" Hear what this gifted dabler
in dowlas saith of his " noble stag".." The Sun, the Chro-
nicle, the Globe, and all the mongrel pack of Nlinisterial
lurchers and hangers-on have been againhounded on the traces
of Sir James Graham ; but, like the noble stag, he has so far
outstripped his daily and weekly currish assailants, that their
voices have died upon the breeze, and become so impotent and
weak, that the tired ear is no longer vexed by them. So ar-
gument has been touched, no assertion contradicted, no fact
impugned, but the speech delivered by Sir James Graham has
come true out of the crucible, like thrice tried gold—pure,
brilliant, rich—and has been read and studied by millions of
the admiring English public." Has the Graham "gold" sug-
gested the fanciful similitude ?
Tus Pooft.—On Monday a public meeting of the
inhabitants of Sheffield was held at the Cutler,' Hall, John
Greaves, Esq., the Master Cutler, in the chair, for the bene-
volent purpose of promoting a subscription to relieve the dis-
tress which is unforthnately now prevalent among the poorer
classes in the parish, naturally arising from the long-con-
tinued depression of trade which has existed in that neighbour-
hood, and combined as it has lately been with the dreadful in-
clemency of the season. The meeting was attended by a
number of the principal Merchants and Manufacturers, by the
Clergy, by most of the resident Dissenting Ministers, and
other influential inhabitants of the town, together with a nu-
merous portion of these most materially interested in the issue,
the industrious artizans of Sheffield.
