CALAMITOUS ACCIDENT ON THE DERBY RACE
COURSE.-Yesterday, between three and four o'clock,
the centre of one of the booths on the Derby race course
came down with a tremendous crash. A scene of confu-
sion and alarm presented itself that beggars description.
The whole course was thrown into a state of the greatest
agitation, and reports were spread through the town that
many persons were killed, and great numbers had sus-
tained injuries of a very serious nature. A ring was
formed to keep off the crowd, and the wounded were laid
upon the grass in groups, till 111t1118 could be procured to
carry them away ; others were carried on to the grand
stand. Several gent!etnen on the course were exceedingly
prompt in removing them to their residences, and the
Infirmary, to whom great praise is due for their humanity
and activity. We have made inquiry this morning at the
Infirmary, and we find there were carried there a man
and a woman each with a br,,ken leg, one man with a leg
and an arm broken, one with a dislocated ancle, and two
severely bruised. Eleven other persons we have heard of
who were carried to their own residences or to inns, who
received injuries. It was reported that a baby was crushed
to death in its mother's arms, as she was passing the booth
when it fell, but we believe ►.he report is not true, and we
hope it will appear that no fives will be lost by this very
distressing occurrence. The catastrophe was occasioned
by the rush of persons on the booth (of whom there were
350) w the front, on the ringing of the bell for the start
for the 50 guineas stakes. The centre prop was broken
by the immense pressure and the whole ilropt in a mo-
ment. It was a most providential occurrence, that the
booth underneath was neatly empty, the persons who had
been sitting there having gone out to see the race. The
shrieks of the females, and the cries of alarm and distress,
were appalling to the last degree, and will never be for•
gotten by those who witnessed this calamitous event.—

STRAND THEATRE. _Mt. ANDERSON ar
rived last night in this snug little port, after, beyond On
Atlantic, " biding the pelting of the pitiless storm" tit
l
`` open pen-knives, cruetq, sinellimr-bottles, locks, and
adies' combs." He was hailed by his friends on shore, as
they always hail the weather-beaten sailor—enthusiastically.
As far as appearance goes, the fatigue of foreign travel has
had but slight effect upon him. But, judging by the
huskiness of his voice, he has not as yet tecovered front
the evaporation of a dry climate and a lea voyage. We
like his animation, and he was on that account deservedly
encored in the song, " What joy again to hear the
trumpet," which he sang
as Henry Bertram, in the opera
Hof Guy Mannering. The piece, on the whole, was very
fairly performed. After the Opera, JEROLD'S Cif lden Calf
was played for the 17th time, and is as arrawng as et et.
The entertainments concluded with The Waterman, the
part of Tom Tug by Mr. ANDERSON.
