HAYMARKET THEATRE.—The play of The
Stranger was performed here on Friday, Mr. C. Kean apk)ear-
ing, for the first time in London, in that character. there
was, it may be serviceable to remark, an occasional indistinct-
ness in his self-c..mmunings, amounting, in fact, to inaudibi-
lity, which it would be well for him in future to mired. In
his personation of this character, Mr. Kean more than ordinarily
reminded us of his father, and we observed that he was always
most applauded where he most resembled his " great original."
Miss Ellen Tree (alto fur the first time) appeared as Mrs.
Haller, and by the touching tones of her voice—the appropriate
energy and feeling with which she sustained the character
throughout, imparted not only a deep interest on the pa.sing-
scene, but excited also a warm sympathy for the fate and former
frailties of the fair penitent—as the sobs of the audience but
too surely evinced. The other parts were carefully performed.
FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE GREEN-
N./mu RAILWAY.—On Friday afternoon, as the train which
leaves the terminus at the Greenwich end at a t,uarter before
three o'clock, reached that part of the line which crosses Blue
Anchor-lane Bermondsey, and where the junction of the
Brighton and Croydon line unite with the Greenwich, thu
engine came furiously in contact with a post which had incau-
tiously been left across the tramway. The wheels of the
engines and tender passed safely over the post, but the iron
which attaches the tender to the train was broken by the col-
lision, and the carriages thrown off the line. The train
continued its way some distance without the engine and
tender. The conductor, whose name is John Nash, was
thrown from his seat, and part of the train passed over him.
He was picked up immediately after the accident, with one
leg broken and many severe contusions of the body, and
conveyed without delay to Guy's Hospital. One of the men
employed by the contractors for finishing the London ter-
minus of the Brighton Railway, frightened at the danger he
was in, made a leap over the parapet of one of the arches, and
fell into the grounds of a market gardener. The first carriage
of the traits was twisted round upon the partly-finished arches
of the Brighton line. The poor fellow was precipitated from
the top of the wall to the garden ground beneath, about thirty
feet, and was much injured and dreadfully frightened. He
also Wag conveyed to the same hospital. Fortunately there
were no passenger in the first carriage, which has received
damage to the amount of only a few pounds. The post was
one of a number brought up by the trains from Deptford for
the purpose of snaking a temporary fence on the side 11.0Xt the
Brighton line, and ought to have been removed immediately
on its being thrown down. The train,' after a short time,
proceedpd to the terminus. Nash, the conductor, has since
had his leg amputated, it being so dreadfully fractured as to
admit of no cure.

CALAIS, MAY 26.—Yesterday morning, at
threw o'clock, the English schooner, Hope, of Bristol, -
Tucker, commander, came on shore about two leagues to the
eptward of this place, owing to the thick weather. She was
laden with stmes, and bound to Chester. This is not the only
accident to be deplored. On the same day at one o'clock, p.m.,
a fine three-masted vessel, the Henry Wellesley, Captain
Castles, came on shore near the same spot. It is true that
the weather was foggy, and the wind blew strong from the
eastward, but how it should happen that a vessel bound for
Hobart Town, manned with 17 hands, and having only left
tpin riper the same morning, should find herself so much
out of her course, is extraordinary. The French say that the
pilot, an Englishman, whAwe on board, deserves to be hanged.
Phis is too severe, but eertait3 y Were mug Imre been great
neglect somewhere. The three passengews who weee on tpgir4
were got on shore safely ; but one of the crew unfortunately
fell from the yard this morning, broke his thigh, and otherwise,
hurt hOself, and, in falling, seriously injured a French car-
penter who come on board. Both were taken to the hos-
pital, but without hopq of recovery for the sailor. It appears
there are some doubts whether the vessels will be got off.

DEATH FROM LOCK JAW,--7:2Q11 Frillay an in-
quest was hold at Kensington Qrcspl-pi4' On the }turfy of
George Saville, a greetigrovr, at Notting-hill, who died from
the effectrof tetanus, or lock jaw. It appeared from the evi.
deuce of the witnesses that the deceased about a fortnight ago
accidentally ran a nail into-the sae of 12is right foot. He paid
no attention to it at the time, but some days afterwards finding
it sore applied a poultice to it, which was, however, of no
avail, and on Sunday last lock jaw ensued, when medical a,sis-
tanoe q,(4.3 palled in. Every effort, however, to alleviate h s
suffering was of Ho avail, and hp died on Wednesday last. Ver-
dict, " Died from the otlect4 of igiallits, or lock jaw."
WORKSOP.—The hay harvest has already com-
menced in this neighbourhood. On Tuesday last, twelve
men were hard at work in one of the flood fields belong-
ing to his Grace the Duke of Portland, cutting down one
of the most luxuriant crops we ever witnessed.—Doncas
