THE ACCIDENT TO MISS GILBERT IN
HYDE PARK.

We have much pleasure in slating that this ac-
complished professional horsewoman is not seriously
injured by her horse falling over'the rails upon her

in Rotten-row last week, as we were informed was
the case. That she was 'carried into St. George's
Hospital insensible and apparently killed is quits
tines, but upon examination both Mr. Hooper and
Dr. Tatum (who as well as Dr. Sutton and the
other gentlement of the establishment showed her
every attention) found that there was no serious
injury beyond slight concussion of the brain, and
she was removed to her own house the same even-

ing. She felt so well the next day that she
ordered the same horse to be saddled, but Dr.
Hawke3ley, her medical attendant, would not
allow her to run such a risk as to get on horse-
back for a few days, but she will be on horseback
again to-day. The real cause of the accident was
very singular. The, horse was a high-couraged
hunter, ridden for the first time by a lady. He
went very quietly, bet on b&ng -cantered down
dose to ;he rails on the left side of Rotten-row, he
started with the wrong foot. Miss Gilbert wishing
him to change his leg, touched the near side rein
lightly. The horse evidently thought he was to
jump the rails, at which he n-se in his stride side-
ways, but being too near to clean them caught the
iron bar above the knees, turned c4apletely over,.
and fell on the other Fide of the rails on Miss
Gilbert. It was one of the most frightful falls ever
seen ; and her escap', to those who witnessed it,
st,ll appears incredible, but was owing to two
causes—her fine riding and nerve—for she never
moved her hands or moved from her seat untilshe
struck the ground. The horse had turned so com-
pletely over that the pommel of the saddle was the
first point of contact ; this was broken to pieces,
but appears to have thrown the horse beyond Miss
Gilbert, and thus saved her life. She begs us to
thank the numerous unknown ladies and gentlemen
who tendered their assistance at the time and have
sinae called to inquire about her at the Hospital,
and at her house.
