ALARMING ACCIDENT TO SIR CHARLES WETHERELI.
—We deeply lament to state that a very severe and alarming acci-
dent happened to it* Charl: s Wetherell, in the neighbourhood
of Maidstone, on Monday morning. It appears that the learned
gentleman had arrived at Maidstore by train, and was de-
sirous of going on to Rochester, for which purpose he had engaged
one-horse phaeton, wills a driver, and proceeded towards the latter
place, taking what is called the Lower-road, skirting the river Med-
way, for tne purpose of passing through the village of Wouldham.
On arriving near the seat of Charles Milner, Esq., Preston Hall,
ionic trifling circumstance, said to be the horse's tail catching tin
reins, caused the animal slightly to mend its pace, on which Sir
Charles, who was sitting on the box with the driver, unhappil:.
caught hold of the reins, and the horse, clartin4 to the side of the
road, dashed the carriage against a heap of stones, which caused it to
upset, throwing Si. Ch •rtes to the ground with great violence. Th.
learned gentleman, on being raised, was found to be most alarming].)
injured. The driver and Sir Charles's valet escaped unhurt. Si,
Charles was immediately conveyed to Preston Hall, and was attended
by Mr. Dennis, of Aylesford, and 1)r. Taylor, of Maidstone ; but so
serious did these gentlemen consider the state of their patient, that
the valet was soon after dispatched to London to procure the attend-
ance of an eminent physician. The precise nature of the injury sus-
tained by Sir Charles we have not been able to learn ; but doubtless
the shock sustained by his system at his advanced age, 76, must alone
be sufneient to create the most painful apprehensions.

RE LATE MURDEROUS ATTACK AT MAIDEND EAD.-
On Mon lay morning Anthony Thomas ityves, a police-sergeant in the
service of the Great Western Railway Company, at the Maldenhettu
station, who was remanded by the Eton bench of magistrates 011
Wednesday last, upon a charge of having inflicted a serious wound
with a knife upon the body of Mr. Henry Plumb, an articled clerk
to Mr, Ward, solicitor, of Maidenhead, n-as brought up for re-
examina. ion bet Ore the magistrates of Burnham, by Mr. Larkin, the
superintendent constable of the Burnham and Stoke district. The
;nagistrates present were—Mr. Caledon George Dupre, M.P., Mr
Rice Richard Clayton, M.P , Major Bent, and the Rev. Thome,
tarter, Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, and Mr. W. R. Ward,
solicitor, appeared on the part of the Crown. Mr. Williams stated
that he had to apply for a further adjournment of the case, in con-
sequence of Mr. Plumb being unable to be present, from the nature
of the severe injuries he had received, to attend to give his evidence.
Ile handed to the bench the following certificate from his medical
attendant:—
" I am of opinion that Mr. henry Plumb is ton weak to attend
the magistrates to-day. Ile is, however, going on favourably.
.‘ B. BELLIS, Surgeon.

_
" Maidenhead, Monday morning, August 10."
Mr. Ward said, in reply to a question from the bench, that, from
what Mr. Bell:5 had stated to him before he left Mabienhead for
Burnham, he ex; ected Mr. Plumb would be able to appear against
the prisoner in the course of three or four days. Rev. Mr.
Carter thought it would be advisable that the remand should be for
as short a time as possible, taking into consideration the state of the
prosecutor. Mr. Ward observed that he was not able at present to
cave his bed. The magistrates having consulted together for a few
minutes, the Chairman informed the prisoner that in consequence of
Mr. Plumb being still in too weak a state to attend the inquiry, they
tad come to the determination of again remanding him until Friday
next. The prisoner, who made no re nark, respectfully bowed to
the magistrates, and wa,taken away in custody of the constable,
and conveyed to Beaconsfield Summonses, upon the application
.if M . Williams, were then issued fur the attendance of the witnesses
on that day.
Ditzsrana, ACCIDENT IN T/1R Towza.—On Monday
morning, /about stven oalocit, a most distressing oc urrence took
place in the Tower to a man named Joseph Heffernin, aged thirty-
five, a bricklayer, residing at No. 7, White-street, Spitalfields, which,
it is feared, will end fatally. It seems that the unfortunate man had
been employed for some time past at the new building in the Tower,
which is intended for the soldiers' barracks. He proceeded to his
work, and on reaching the third tier of planks en the upper part of
the scaffolding, one of the putlocks, or cross beams, gave way, where-
by he was precipitated a depth of sixty feet to the basement, where
he fell on a girder. Ile was extricated with much difficulty, and was
found to have received the most fearful injuries, the bones of the right
leg were broken, protruding through time flesh; the left thigh and
hip were severely injured, and various parts of his body had sustained
several contusions and bruises. He was seen by a surgeon in the
Tower, but he ordered his removal to the accident ward of St. Tho-
mas's Hospital, where, upon examination, it was found that the only
means of saving his life was the amputation of the right leg, which
the poor fellow at first refused to accede to, but when seen by a cler-
gyman he consented. The operation was forthwith performed by
Mr. Le Gros Clarke, one of the assistant surgeons, who was attended
by Mr. Travers and Mr. Sully.
REPAIRING THE STREETS OF LONDON.—A notice
has been issued by the Commissioners of Sewers that some of the
great thoroughfares will be impassable to every description of
e great
and length vehicle. The carriage-way is to be repaired in Old Fish-street,
Long-lane, Upper Thames-street, and Fleet-street. The latter was
closed on Monday, and will remain closed for six weeks or two months,
owing to th
up partially destroyed fte
requiredby ttho.mfoarkLationnewofhothtteomneowf
concrete, in which the stone is to be laid, the present bed having
beencut
sewer, and the laying down of gas and water-pipes. The carriage-
way
is to be relaid with the three-Inch cube granite, similar to that
which was laid down last year in Ludgate-hill, Holborn-hill,
o rn-hill, and
Snow-hill. At present there exists a great difficulty in getting good
workmen, as well as stone from the quarries, iu consequence of the
demand for the railways. When finished, it is alleged that Fleet-
street will not require any great repairs for the next twenty years,
the three-inch cube Aberdeen granite being estimated to last for
forty years in places where only an ordinary traffic takes place. All
large thoroughfares are in future to be paved with this stone, as soon
as the existing contracts for wood pavement expires. The following
places are to have new sewers :—Laurence Pountney-lane, and
Pountney-hill, DuckafuOt-lane, Cloak-lane, Bell-yard,
Laurence
tiracechureli.street, Little Bush-lane, Bride-lane, Poppin's-court,
Hosier-lane, the north end of Shoe-lane, Bouverie-street, and the
preclnc • tof Whitafriars, the whole of which are to commence within
the next Wouth.
