HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS.

We are authorised to state that her Majesty's stag-
hounds in future will (if prevented by frost, &e., hunt-
ing at the appointed place), on the return of hunting
weather, throw off at the Kennel, and not as heretofore.

GOSPORT PlER.—Application is intended to
be made in the next Session of Parliament for a Bill for
making and maintaining a pier on the Gosport or
Western side of the harbour of Portsmouth, to enable
steam-packets and other vessels to lay alongside and
embark and• disembark passengers and goods to and
from the Isle of Wight and other places. The usual
notices have been given, and no doubt is entertained of
the success of the projected improvement. The proposed
entrance to the pier is through the upper part of the
floating bridge approach.—Hampshire independent.
FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Wed-
nesday last a serious accident, which has resulted in fatal
consepences, befel the down-train which left Chester-
field for the north a little before two P.M. When within
a couple of miles of Leeds one of the wheels of the en-
gine suddenly broke, the rail was cut in two, and
the engine was twice overturned on a slight eleva-
tion at the side of the line. The engine driver (whose
name was Hinde) was so dreadfully injured that he has
since died. By keeping on the tender the stoker escaped
without injury, except a few slight cuts. The carria&e
next to the tender was overthrown by the shock, but
most providentially none of the passengers were injured.
