DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT THE PANORAMA,
REGENT'S PARK.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—Yesterday evening at Inquest was
held in the Committee Room of St. Bartholomew's Hospital,
before T. SHELTON, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Thomas
Clarke, aged 40, a carpenter, in the employ of Mr. Peto, the
builder.—'Thomas Davey deposed, that he has the superintend.
ence of the erection of a building in the Regent's Park, for the
purpose of exhibiting panoramic views, we believe, on a new
plan. On Saturday morning last, about eight o'clock, wit.
ness was standing at the top of the building, when his atten
tion was attracted by a crash. Witness, on looking down,
perceived the deceased falling. 'Witness proceeded to his as.
sistance, and found him in a dreadful condition, lying on the
ground. He procured a hackney coach, and had the deceased
conveyed to the Hospital.
CORONER—Why did you bring him to this Hospital, when
the Middlesex Hospital was so much nearer ?
Witness—Because I have already taken two or three acci-
dents to that Hospital and have met with considerable delay,
and have ultimately brought them here. The deceased fell a
height of 68 feet. He died in the coach, on the way to the
Hospital.
Crave corroborated the evidence of last witness, and that
no blame was attributable to any party.
Mr. W. Birch, house.surgeon, deposed that he examined
the deceased's person on being brought to the Hospital, and
found a compound fracture of the thigh and another on the left
leg; those injuries caused death.
rhe proprietor of the establishment begged to impress on the
minds of the Jury that every precaution was observed to pre-
vent accident during the late stormy weather.
The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death."

DESTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF TUE LATE FLOODS,—,
(Further Particulars.)—Mr. Annrs, whose loss of 102 sheep
we mentioned in our last, had, on the night of the flood, sent a
man to the meadows, to see Wall was safe. The man brought
word that all was well, and that the water was sinking.—
His surprise and distress may be well imagined, when,
in the morning, he discovered, that so far from sinking, the
river had risen to such a height as to cover the meadows where
his sheep, cattle, and horses, were confined. The horses, cattle,
and about 20 fat sheep, had saved themselves by crowding
together upon a hillock in one of the meadows, and were
liberated by boats. Mr. Addis's loss is really a distressing
one ; he had newly come to the faun, and though he neither
asks nor expects the assistance of his friends and neighbours,
we would just suggest that a guinea a piece would be nothing
out of the pockets of his brother flamers, and would make
the worthy but unfortunate yeoman comparatively easy on
the score of his loss. All the accounts from Ross concur
in stating the scene at Wilton-bridge to have been truly
grand. The coachman of the Champion, when he came to the.
spot where the water crossed the road to a great depth and extent,
with a coolness and caution which does him credit, drew up, and
waited till the returning coach arrived on the opposite aide,
when they exchanged passengers and parcels by the interven.
tion of boats. At Monmouth, the appalling scenes of devas.
tation which the waters of the Wye and Monnow spread along
their shores last week have been renewed in the early part of
this, with accumulated effects. • To the inhabitants of !lion-,
now-street they have been particularly injurious. The
rivers have risen and fallen twice within a few days, and
were continuing to rise when our latest accounts came away yea.
terday. It Is our painful duty to record another melancholy
death occasioned by the late general overthrow of the waters. On
the night of Tuesday (30th ult.), as Mr. Powell, of Bac.
ton, was returning from Abergavenny market, he was drowned
at Monnow-bridge, near Alontuouth-cap. What renders the
accident more distressing is, that the cries of the unfortunate
sufferer were heard during the space of two hours; but in con.
sequence of the darkness of the night, it could not be ascertain.
ed to what spot to direct assistance. It is supposed, that find-
ing himself in danger, and passing under a tree, he forsook the
back of his horse, and sought escape by catching hold at the
branches,. but exhausted nature sunk hint into a watery grave.
On the Wednesday morning, the horse was found in an adjoin.
ing meadow.—(Hereford Independent.)

DEVIL'S 1311,IDGE.The upper arch of the ce.
lebratecl Devil's Bridge, near Haled, Cardigan.
shire, is broken down, and impassable by heavy
vehicles. A safe and temporary platform has
been placed for travellers ; the coach from Lian.
idloes proceeds no farther than the end of the
bridge, where passengers alight, and proceed in
another coach, stationed upon the other side the
chasm. The lower arch, and indeed the founda-
tion of this picturesque and extraordinary struc-
ture (which is supposed to have been built nearly
seven centuries ago by the Monks of Strata
Florida Abbey), la' still secure, The second
arch, which overspans the other, was erected in
1753, at the expence of the county ; and in the
year 1814, the patriotic Mr. JOHNEA, of Haled,
removed the low parapets of crumbling stone,
work, and placed in their stead iron hand-rails
and ornaments.—(Hergford Independent.)

SAVAGE MURDER.—On Friday evening last,
a man, named James Keenan, returning from the
market of Fintona, in the county Tyrone, in
company with his sister, was followed by a party
of fellows armed with weapons of different kinds,
and beat to death. Some of the barbarians, we
understand, are known, and warrants issued
by the Magistrates for their apprehension.—
