EARFUL ACCIDENT AND NARROW ESCAPE.-
-testerday morning it appears that Mr. R. Webb, of
Covent-garden, was trying a fine animal with another
gentleman, in his dog-cart, when they had not pro-
ceeded further than Mr. John Kirby's, of Great Russell.
Street, Bloomsbury, on business; the moment Mr. Webb
got into the gig the horse darted off at a terrific speed
Until it reached Museum-street, when a fearful collision
took place. A large dust• cart was standing in the
road, which no doubt. alarmed the horse more, until he
came madly onward in the front, running the thick shaft
°f the cart above sixteen inches deep into the animal's
"ornach. The occurrence was so sudden that it is
miraculous how the gentlemen escaped with their lives.
Webb had presence of mind to spring out on the
t'4vement, fortunately without sustaining more injuries
than a few bruises. The other gentleman was not hurt
dthe least, nor the dogcart or harness. The animal

"ere assembled, who expressed their surprise that dust-
c,arts should be allowed to stand loitering about so late
bigh,e morning. The man was putting the nose-bag on
14,75 e at the time, and fortunately escaped from harm.
a c "larae can be attached to any one, as the horse was
Vious one, and only just up from grass.
