SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF—THE DUCHESS
OF KENT.
WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—Last night, be-
tween seven and eight o'clock, as her Royal Highneeses
the Duchess of Kent and her attendant ladies were
proceeding along the Frogmore-road, on th.r way to
Join the royal dinner circle at the Castle, an accident
occurred which might have been attended with very
serious circumstances to the Royal Duchess and her
'4lies; but fortunately, although the carriage in
bri-w uic h they were riding was so much damaged as to
Put further service, they themselves sustained no
Personal injury whatever. The accident occurred in
the following
manner :—A young man and his wife,
With another young woman, all of them in the service
-p643i6 4, r Hamilton Parks, of Woodside, Windsor Great
,arx, were leaving Windsor, in a light spring cart at
," Moment the Duchess's carriage turned into the
level road by the Waterloo Gate of the Home Park,
fand his horse, a strong and spirited animal, taking
right, it is supposed from the dazzle of the carriage
lamps, or from some other cause, and the young man
I°Bln all control over him, the cart came in such
iurious collision with the carriage as to tear away
eight spokes of the off hind wheel, and actually to
bend the axletree almost to an angle of forty-five
degrees. The driver and the two women were
thrown out by the concussion, and, it is said, seriously
Injured; but medical assistance was immediately at
band, and they were removed to the Hope Tavern,
just by, whilst the horse gallopped off with the
shafts, &c.
Sir George Couper, also on his way to the Castle,
Came up almost at the moment, and the Royal
Duchess and her ladies were transferred to his
brougham, and so arrived at the Castle before the
accident was known there.
It is affirmed that this accident would not have
happened had not the road been so dark; but the
corporation of Windsor have decreed, that though it is
Much frequented road, it shall have only one gas
lamp, and that lamp close to the Castle entrance, so
that the remainder of the road, for nearly half a mile,
18 in total darkness.
This afternoon the Duchess of Kent took a car-
riage drive in the Great Park, in an open carriage
and four.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our
Market, this week, have been very moderate, the show
of sample s of that grain here, today, was somewhat on
the increase. Owing to the large imports of Foreign
Wheat, and the slight pressure of American Flour, the
sale for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy,
and, in some instances, the inferior qualities were dis-
posed of at a trifling abatement in the quotations. For
all descriptions of Foreign Wheat we have to report a
very inactive inquiry, at barely, but at nothing quotable
beneath, Monday's prices. The sale for Barley was by
no means so active as last week ; nevertheless, prices
were mostly supported. Ia Malt only a moderate
business was doing, at late rates. There was a fair de-
mand for Oats at full prices. Beans and Peas were quite
as dear ; but all other articles were much neglected.
