A severe accident has happened to Mr. Biggs, one
of the contributors to the sports at Goodwood races. He was
home from shooting, when in coming through a cop-
piceefell into an old saw-pit covered by brushwood, and re-
e and in great agony, having sustained a fracture of the leg,
of his ribs displaced, until two o'clock the following
morning,
when he was extricated by his friends, who had per-
severed in a long and anxious search. Medical aid was at
hand send
well.dprornptly afforded. Favourable hopes are entertained
ofhisd

The building itself, the new Town-hall--the pride of
Birmingham, and an ornament to England—is well worthy
of the admiration so universally bestowed upon it. Stand-
ing on the brow of one of the steep ascents from the great
high thoroughfare of the town, and elevated, again, con-
siderably above the street level, by a rustic basement of
massive and rock-like masonry, this noble edifice rises like
the Parthenon on the summit of the Athenian Acropolis ;
and, being an oblong, peripteral building, with a fine Co-
rinthian colonnade running all around its exterior, with a
chastely-proportioned pediment, and fine entablature and
frieze, it strikingly resembles one of the remaining portions
of the Temple of the Sun at Heliopolis or Baalbeck, though
greatly inferior to that colossal edifice in size. Its site,
upon an eminence, occasions it to be seen from almost
every point of view in the town ; and, as it is perfectly
classical in its form and elevation, and is constructed of fine
grey Anglesea marble, it has all the appearance, at a very
little distance, of a fine old Grecian temple, in that grey-
ness of antiquity which even the whitest marble of Paros
attains after a long lapse of years ; and this illusion is
greatly heightened by the unfinisted state of the pediment,
which a slight exercise of the imagination converts into a
building partially in ruins, instead of one that has not yet
been completed.

If the exterior of the edifice was imposing, its exterior
was even more so ; and we think that not a single visitor
could enter eitiker,.the saloon or galleries without being
struck with surprise, as well as filled with admiration, at
the scene. The noble proportions of the vast unbroken
space, with its ample ceiling and roof supported by beams
reaching entirely across the whole building, without the aid
of buttress, arch, or pillar, filled the beholder with surprise ;
while the gigantic organ, towering with its clusters of gilded
pillars, like the hollow masts of some large ship of war,
from the orchestra to the roof, begot impressions of force
and power not easily to be surpassed ; while the gathering
the various members of the band, the busy hum of cho-
risters collecting their parts, the shrill notes of the flute
and oboe sounding their preludes—the rumbling of the
trombones, the serpents, and the bassoons—the tuning of a
hundred violins—the bracing and the beating in muffled
notes of the drums—the dulcet notes of Linley's violon-
cello, and the rich deep tones of Dragonetti's double-bass,
all combined to form a stirring and animated picture,
which was heard as well as seen. When the eye of the
spectator turned from the orchestra to the galleries and
the body of the hall, he there saw a most admirable
arrangement for the accommodation of the visitors,
in one deep and spacious gallery, overhanging about
a fourth of the whole of the hall, at the end fronting the
orchestra, with two narrow side galleries, or open-fronted
balconies, after the manner of those projecting in front of
the boxes at the new English Opera House in London,
and these filled with at least a thousand visitors, whose ap-
pearance and manners bespoke them to be generally of ele-
vated rank and station, the greater number being ladies
arrayed in the most chastely elegant morning dresses, with
bonnets, caps, flowers, and feathers, tastefully varied and
agreeably intermingled, and a greater number of beautiful
countenances than we ever remember to have seen collected
uuder one roof at any morning exhibition.
A full supply of light on every side, from the tall and
narrow windows which stood between the pillars of the
outer coloneade, and the pilasters of the inner wall, gave
the fullest development to all the many tints and hues of
the variegated and elegant dresses worn on this occasion ;
and a bright meridian sun, pouring in its playful beams on
the one side, while a clear blue sky was the only object
visible on every other, made the rays of light powerful and
uninterrupted, and gave great brilliance to the scene ; and
to crown the whole, the-richly stuccoed ceiling, containing
many of the forms and devices which are seen among the
sculptured rooffings of the ruined temples of Palmyra—
contrasted. by its warm amber tints with the white relief by
which it was encircled, and completed a coup d'ceil of in-
describable grandeur and beauty.
