o'clock, the occupants of a pleasure van from

an accident when within a few yards of the Marble Arch.
All wore enjoying themselves, the baud was playing,
when suddenly the box-wheel came off, precipitating the
whole of them into the road. Great consternation was
caused, and the bystanders hastened to reader what ser-
vice they coul,l, but ou inquiry it was fortunately ascer-
tained that, apart from a severe shaking, the occupants
were not any the worse for the tumble.
BENEFIT TO JEJI WARD.-0a IV.onday evening
the veteran English pugilist, who contehded successfully
in eleven great battles, the last of which was nearly forty
years ago, when he beat Simon Byrne with great ease,
will have a benefit given him at the Bowery Theatre. In
James Ward the people of New York may see one of those
pugilists whose race has become extinct —a man of exceeding
strength and consummate science ; not very to rge himself,
but a model in build, and able in the prime of. his youth to
stall off the onslaught of a giant ; great in col wage and in
prowess, but gentle in manner and courteous in address.
lie is now 68 years old, and is younger and tate:teller in
appearance than most of the dissolute scamps, wxto, call-
ing themselves fighters, fail in stamina between 20 And 30,
and seldom live to 40 years of age. The ex-ohanpion
will no doubt have a bumper house, and we declare that
he fully thserves it.— The Spirit of the Times, New York,-
