(LEFT SITTING.)

MR. O'CONNELL.—GENOA, MAY 12.—Mr. O'Con
nell arrived here on Friday, on his way to Rome, but has
been attacked by an illness so serious, that he is coafined to
his bed at the Hotel Feder, and one of his physicians tells me
this morning that it will be some days before he can be
moved, if he move at all. The other day (Monday) they
were much alarmed for his life, as in addition to his malady,
which is cerebral, he suffered from intestinal inflammation,
with a violent diarrhoea ; however, after applying leeches
and other remedies, the symptoms of immediate danger
disappeared, and he was better yesterday, and this morning
be continues improving, although he himself says that he
shall not live three days. He has two physicians, one a Ge-
noese, and the other an Englishman established here, and
they concur in saying, that although he may rally, his con_
stitution is so enfeebled that it is scarcely possible for him to
survive a long time.—P.S. Many have called upon Mr.
O'Connell, but he receives no one.

ACCIDENT AT WINDSOR CASTLE.--MT. John Turn-
bull, the Clerk of the Works in residence at Windsor, in the
department of the Woods and Forests, met with an unfor-
tunate accident yesterday morning, in the Castle quadrangle.
While the fire engine was being worked, for the purpose of
testing its being in a perfect state, Mr. Turnbull, who was
standing close to the engine, very thoughtlessly placed the
forefinger of his left hand upon its side, at the time the men
were pumping, the lever descending with great force, cutting
off the finger close to the knuckle. Mr. Turnbull was im-
mediately attended by Mr. Pearl, surgeon, and no serious
consequences are likely to ensue.
THE CROPS, &c.—For the last eight days the crops
of all kinds have made most wonderful progress—indeed
never looking better at this season of the year. The
grass, which was feared would be a failure, is also com-
ing on beautifully ; so that, in every likelihood, the en-
suing harvest will produce ample food for man and beast.
Notwithstanding the recent frosts, the fruit trees in our
gardens are overloaded with their variegated blossom.—

ROBBERIES AND ACCIDENTS AT THE EPSOM
RAILWAY TERMINUS ON THE DERBY DAY.—Yesterday,
from five o'clock in the morning until half-past two in the
afternoon, twenty-four trains of immense length, with near
100,000 persons, left the terminus at London-bridge for
Epsom. The crowd was so great during a great portion of
the time that many persons were severely injured. One man
was forced by the pressure of the mob over the balustrade of
the arch where the second and third class passengers were
waiting to be admitted, and received several frightful inju-
ries; he was conveyed to St. Thomas's Hospital. Several
females received such injuries from the pressure that they
fainted away and were trampled upon, but with a consider-
able deal of difficulty they were extricated and conveyed in-
sensible to the station, where they received every attention.
One gentleman lost his pocket-book with a 301. Bank of
England note. Others lost their purses and contents, and
when they got inside the teriniuus they were doomed to be
disappointed. The purses were afterwards picked up minus
the contents. The scene from eight o'clock until two was
almost indescribable, the shrieks of the females were terrific,
and the noise and uproar beyond all conception.
