FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT IN THE BLACRFRIARS ROA'
—On Saturday night an accident occurred in the Blacic-
friars-road, close to Rowland Hill's Chapel, which it is
feared will terminate fatally. About eight o'clock Mr.
Daley, printer, in the New-cut, came dashing out of
Charlotte-street, in a chaise drawn by a spirited horso,
and knocked down a well-dressed young woman. Mr.
Daley did not stop, but pursued his course till he reached
his own home, near the Marsh-gate, where ;he was
apprehended by a policeman who knew him, and who
witnessed the accident. The unfortunate woman, who is
not known, on the recommendation of Mr. Jones,
surgeon, was removed to Gay's Hospital.
HINTS TO LODGING-HOUSE-KEEPERS. —On the
afternoon of Saturday, the 11th instant, a person in the
garb of a gentleman, called at a respectable lodging-
house, in St. Helier, and after looking at the rooms,
secured the best parlour and bed-room for at least thrc
months, intimating that as he was related to some of the
first families in the island, except at breakfast he would
seldom be at his lodgings, and that if the lady of the
house would provide that meal for him be would settle
the expense of it and of his lodgings weekly. All pre-
liminaries being settled, the gentleman was to be at his
lodgings at nine o'clock. The hour arrived, and the
lodger came, and having a pain in his chest he thought a
little brandy and water might be of service to him; this
the landlady duly provided, glad to be of any use to the
" poor gentleman;" she observed that he brought no
luggage of any kind with him, but as he informed her
that it would arrive on the following day, she was satis-
fied. Next morning he felt himself better and ordered
and dispatched an excellent breakfast ; after which he
took his departure, intimating that his intention was to
dine that day in the country with his friends, who most
probably would send their carriage for him, and that his
return to town that night was uncertain. Next day the
lady, on her way to church, met with a friend, who was
also in the habit of letting apartments, who informed
her that she hacifthe previous evening let hers to a very
respectabh person. On comparing notes, however, the:
two descriptions ;allied so exactly, that, much to their
astonishment, they could come to no other con:Au:dun
than that the two lodgers were one and the same
individual.—Guernsey Paper.
