FRIGIITFUL ACClDENT.—Yesterday, about ten
o'clock, a young girl, named Elizabeth Masters, 12 years of
age, daughter of the housekeeper of Mr. Alexander, archi-
tect and surveyor, No. 9, John-street, Adelphi, whilst swing-
ing upon the stair bannisters upon the third flooring, over-
balanced herself, and fell head-foremost through the well of
the staircase to the stone flooring below—a depth of nearly
forty feet. When raised up, blood was profusely flowing from
her mouth, nose, and ears. A medical gentleman was
promptly called in, who, however, advised her immediate
removal to Charing-cross Hospital, where, on examination
by Mr. Hancock, the house surgeon, it was discovered that
she had sustained a violent concussion of the brain, a frac-
ture of the collar-bone, and other severe injuries.

It comprehends what has always been called "the Mansion," lout
it really does not pretend to such a mark of distinction. It is

A DELIGHTFUL VILLA ABODE,
with every accommodation for a snug family; but, in accordance
with Mr. Robins's invariable practice, he must state that the hand
of an artiste, to renovate the interior, will be accounted essential,
and the

SPLENDID SCENE THAT OPENS ON THE REAR
is so perfectly beautiful that an oUlay of 2001. or 300/. will be
encountered without a murmur. The residence is in the centre of
the town, shut out from the public gaze by a full-grown plantation,
Sze. It is full of comfort, and a gentleman whose income extends
to 1,000/. or 2,000/. a year will have no serious difficulty to en.
counter in distributing it at Leatherhead. The gardens and
grounds are disposed in unusually good taste; there is an undula.
lation throughout, that materially aids the landscape ; an English
and French garden; green houses ; plantations of luxuriant growth
and great beauty, adorned by a large fish pond, and extending to
THE RIVER MOLE,
full of fish ; and the enjoyment attained within this little demesne;
THE ROCK WORK, GROTTOS, AND SUMMER HOUSE

CORN-LAWS.

Mr. VILLIERS said he was obliged to postpone his
motion on the corn-laws again, from the 11th till the
18th, in consequence of some Members having given
notice of motions on the same day, and from their being
unwilling to allow his motion to take precedence of
theirs. He wished to observe that this motion was one
that engaged much of the attention of the House, and
that it n as extremely inconvenient to many Members on
both sides not to have the day fixed for its discussion.
This was now difficult to do owing to the manner in
which Members were only able to give notice, and that
the Government had deprived them of one of the days
for the purpose. He, therefore, begged to say, that if he
was prevented from bringing on the motion on the 18th,
he would not take his chance again, but do what he
should otherwise have been reluctant to do, which was to
move it as an amendment upon the first Order of the Day
for going into Supply.
Sir R. PEEL postponed the Duchy of Cornwall Bill
till Thursday, the 6th of June.
On the motion of Mr. WYSE, a Select Committee
was appointed on the subject of art-unions.
Mr. COLLETT wished to know when the Govern-
ment would bring on the Irish Registration Bill ?
Sir R. PEEL was understood to say that he could not,
at present, fix any time for proceeding with the Bill.
CANADA.

On the Order of the Day for the House resolving
itself into a Committee of Supply being moved,
Mr. lIUME said he had hoped in consequence of
the notice given by the Honourable and Learned
Member for Bath, that the House would be occupied
for some time in discussinF the state of Canada. He
had, however, been disappointed by the postponement of
the motion. He Would now ask the Noble Lord, the
Secretary for the Colonies, 'what kind of government ex-
isted in Canada, or whether any administration had yet
been formed ? The allegation on the part of the
Ministers who had resigned was that they were
not allowed to exercise the influence which they had a
right to expect that they would be allowed to po3-
sees ; in short, that responsible governinvst was at

MR. MILLS'S NEW WORK.

THE ENGLISH FIRESIDE : a Tale of the
_a_ Past. By JOAN MILLS, Esq., Author of the " Old English
Gentleman," " The Stage Coach, or the Road of Life," &c. In
three vols. .

" Mr: Mills, both in this and in his former works, appears in a
overtTatt school,
reeseableand an eminently light.He is evidently
patriotichimselfly er Alli anitE English gentleman
ntleinan
f thetaste
and predilections seem directed to the beauties and other good quali-
ties to be met with in this island. He loves his home with an exclu-
sive love, possibly because he knows no better ; but possibly also—
and this we would fain believe—because he has made the experiment,
and has discovered satisfaction no where else. If this be the case,
we arc glad to have Mr. Mills's testimony in favour of our social
system, for he has evidently a keen relish of enjoyment. He relishes
life, such as he finds it here, like one of nature's epicures, and he
would not give two farthings to the inventor of a new pleasure. The
English Fireside is, indeed, well arranged and rapid, and deeply in-
teresting, nay exciting—in this respect it far supersedes the author's
previous productions. No one who loves a manly, vigorous, healthy
style of writing should fail to read this Tale of the Past."—Sunday

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE LONDON Docts.--
Monday morning, about half-past twelve o'clock, an acci-
dent of a peculiarly frightful character happened in the East-
ern Basin of the London Dock, to a man named Thompson,
belonging to the Sylph, a vessel trading to the West Indies,
and which is now unloading at that quay. He was aloft
doing something to the rigging, when, from some unex-
plained cause (being perfectly sober at the time), his foot
slipped, and he fell from the main-topsail yard, a height of
perhaps 30 feet, head-foremost on to the deck, striking, in
his descent, against the handle of the winch used for hoisting
out the sugar hogsheads, which the men had left hardly
three minutes before. His skull was literally dashed to
pieces by the fall; and the deck strewed with .his brains.
When taken up he was quite dead, and presented a shocking
spectacle, the face being smashed to a mummy, and the arms
and ribs completely broken. The horribly-mangled remains
were conveyed on a stretcher to the dead-house of St.
Oeorge's-in-the-East, where they await a Coroner's inquest.
which will be held at the Wellington public-house, adjonint
the church, this day. What renders the occurrence the mores
lamentable is, that the poor man had rejoined his wife and.
family only two days before, after returning safely from a
voyage to the West Indies.

MARYLEBONE.-(THISDAY.)

The cases brought before the magistrate this morning.were
of the most trivial character, and contained not one feature to
interest the general reader.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)

There was no charge brought before the magistrate of
least interest. One case of violent assault was postponed as
the complainant was unable to attend, having received a
fracture of the collar bone. She was in consequence removed
to the London University Hospital, but it is not apprehended
that any dangerous consequences will ensue. The name of
the injured person is Bridget Allen, and all the parties con-
nected with the affair live in Church-street, St. Giles's.

FIRE AT BRADFIELD.—On Sunday afternoon, be-
tween four and five o'clock, afire broke out in some straw
on the premises of Mr. Joseph Everson, of Bradfield,
the same farm (the property of the Rev. Robert
Davers) on which a fire took place last year ; but by
the very commendable exertions of the labourers, the
Suffolk and Norwich engines being also promptly on the
spot, though their services were scarcely needed, the
damage was confined to the destruction of a harvest-
waggon and about six loads of straw. Mr. Everson is
insured.—lpswich Express.
CHILD MURDER AND SUICIDE.—An occurrence
has lately taken place at Westlaby, near Lincoln, wich
has excited a great sensation in that locality. Some per-
sons who were taking young rooks in Mr. Tongue's
rookery, found a bundle which contained a dead child, 1
and one of the menmost unfeelingly kicked it into some
ivy. Tho affair, however, caused a good deal of con-
versation ; it was mentioned to Ann Robinson, Mil
Tongue's housekeeper, and she was observed to evince
confusion, though at the moment she passed the matter
off with a mere expression of surprise. In the course of
the evening the dead child disappeared from the ivy
bush, and could not then be found, and the same night
Robinson destroyed herself by taking a large dose of
laudanum. The child:was her's ; but nothing transpired
tending to show whether it had been put to death or
died in the birth through neglect. Inquests were held on
both bodies. In the case of the woman a verdict of
felo de se was returned; in that of the child the jury re-
turned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the de-
ceased Ann Robinson.

Bell's Life in London of Sunday, May 26, will
give the most correct account of the four days' sport at Epsom,
with a portrait of the winner of the Derby. Contents of
Bell's Life of last Sunday, May 19 :—Fifteen columns of
Sporting events, including Paris Races, and a peep at the
French Derby (Chantilly), an epitome of the week's mis-
cellaneous news, and 100 advertisements, chiefly connected
with Sporting matters. The insertion of a single advertise-
ment in Bell's Life may be equally beneficial to that of half
a dozen in some journals. A sixpence, or six penny stamps,
to Mr. Clement, jun., 170, Strand, will at all times insure a
copy of Bell's Life by return of post. The weekly sale of
Bell's Life exceeds 20,000 copies. It is regularly published
in time for the Saturday afternoon railways. Belts Life of
June 2 will contain an engraving of the Ascot Cup.
Wicx, MAY 15.—During the last fourteen days
about 100 boats and their crews left here and the La-
theron coast, for the early fishing in the Lewis. There
hava not been much accoudts from them since as to suc-
cess, but several small cargoes of herrings have come to
Wick from the Lewis, and havo all been immediately
shipped again for Hamburgh. The Wick fish-curers are
all making the usual preparations for the fishing. The
boat-builders have this year built more than double the
number of boats which were built last year, and more
thanehave been built in any one year for a number of
years.

TILE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ELY V. BLISS.

This case was set down in the paper to be spoken to ; but
Counsel on both sides not being present, it was not pro-
ceeded with.

NEEDIIAM V. NEEDIIAM.

In this case Colonel Needham appeared before his Lord-
ship, stating that he had a petition to discharge an order of
the Court.

Mr. Coors rt said be had received late last night a heavy
brief in support of the motion, but he was not_then in a situ-
ation to proceed with it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that under those circum-
stances, the case had better stand over.
Mr. CALVERT objected to the postponement of the motion.
It had been standing in the paper ever since January, and it
was in substance the same as -three others which had been
refused with costs.

Col. Needham said all the costs up to that time had been
paid, and the order which had been obtained was not of the
slightest use, except to keep him in prison,
Mr. CALVERT said the use which had been made of the or-
der was to discharge the defendant out of prison.
The case was at length postponed, on an understanding
that it should be taken out of the paper.

MR. MILLS'S NEW WORK.

THE ENGLISH FIRESIDE : a Tale of the
1 Past. By JOHN MILLS, Esq., Author of the " Old English
Gentleman," " The Stage Coach, or the Road of Life," &c. In
three vols.

" Mr. Mills, both in this and in his former works, appears in a
very agreeable light. He is evidently himself an English gentleman
of the best school, and an eminently patriotic writer. All his taste,
and predilettions seem directed to the beauties and other good quali-
ties to be Met with in this island. He loves his home with an exclu-
sive love, possibly because he knows no better ; but possibly also—
and this we would fain believe—because he has made the experiment,
and has discovered satisfaction no where else. If this be the case,
we are glad to have Mr. Mills's testimony in favour of our social
system, for he has evidently a keen relish of enjoyment. He relishes
life, such as he finds it here, like one of nature's epicures, and he
*Would not give two farthings to the inventor of a new pleasure. The
English Fireside is, indeed, well arranged and rapid, and deeply in-
teresting, nay exciting—in this respect it far supersedes the author's
previous productions. No.one who loves a manly, vigorous, healthy
style of writing should fall to read this Tale of the Past."—Sunday

MAW AND POLICE.

A curious account of a Chinese lottery appears in the Man-
sion-House report. In referring to it, Sir Peter Laurie said,
" I am actually tired of cautioning the public against the
various plans by which money is wheedled out of their
pockets. Every day produces new dupes, who venture with
their eyes open into all sorts of snares. In this case the com-
plainant has certainly put a period to the existence of this
Chinese lottery by the exposure he has given it here."
At Guildhall, Michael Doring, a lad apparently under 20
years of age, was charged with having stolen an immense
quantity of papers relating to the Spanish and Portuguese
Active and Passive Stock, the property of Messrs. Ricardo,
in Angel-court, 'Throgmorton-street. After the evidence had
been heard, Mr. Alderman T. Wood said the case was clear;
but one of the Messrs. Ricardo must identify the property,
and for this purpose the prisoner was remanded to Saturday.
Benjamin Edwards, a youth of about 18 years of age, in
the service of W. 11. Marley, cheesemonger, &c., Great
Tichfield-street, was, together with Mary Ann Harris, placed
at the bar, the first charged with having robbed his muster of
various articles, and the latter with receiving the same,
knowing them to have been stolen. The prisoners were
committed for trial.

- At the Hammersmith Police-court, John Whitaker was
charged with having violently assaulted and beat his own
mother. The prisoner, who formerly filled a responsible
situation in one of the public offices, had by his bad habits
lost his situation about three years since, and had subsequently
been supported by his aged mother, who keeps a lodging-
house for respectable ladies, at Notting-hill. This was his
fourth appearance at this Court, for violent conduct towards
and assaulting his mother. On Monday night he went to the
house, and created such a disturbance that some of the ladies
quitted the house, and his mother trying to prevent him, he
knocked her down. Mr. Paynter ordered him to find bail,
himself in 401., and two sureties in 20/. each, to be of good
behaviour for six months.

UNION HALL.--(THIS DAY.)

Mary Bowles, the daughter of a-person holding a situation
in the Bank of England, was charged with attempting to
commit suicide.

On the preceding night a gentleman, on proceeding along
the Kent-road, had his attention attracted on observing the
defendant walking along, and crying very much, in the di.:
rection of the Surrey Canal. When she arrived at the bridge
she turned down to the left, leading to the Canal, and was
about divesting herself of her cloak and bonnet, when he
went up and prevented her from precipitating herself into
the water. On questioning her she talked in a very incohe-
rent manner, and as she seemed bent on self-destruction he
took her to the station-house and gave her into custody:
In answer to the Magistrate, the unfortunate woman said
that her father had been in the Bank of England for thirty
years, and allowed her 10s. a week. On further questioning
her, it appeared, from her answers, that she was labouring
under the delusion that her son had committed some offence
for which he was transported. And this idea was so strongly
impressed on her mind, that she was induced to lay violent
hands on herself.
Mr. COTTINGHA3I felt averse to discharge the poor woman
until further inquiries were made respecting her, and she was
accordingly directed to remain in custody.

LONDON IN THE OLDEN TIME

Painted by Denson and Telbin,
Is the most gigantic achievement ever yet produced, and for grandeur
of composition, fidelity of design, and beauty of execution, it far
exceeds any previous production. It accurately represents ancient
London—Old St. Paul's—Old London Bridge—Baynard's Castle, and
all the principal Churches and Buildings of the locality, and may
with truth be designated the most wonderful production of mo-
dern times.

exhibition. London Bridge, Old St. Paul's Cathedral, anti other
Buildings will appear devoured by the devastating element, and
present a heap of blackened ruins, in accordance with the best
delineations taken at the period, and coup d'ceil will give a vivid

Bolger, who passed his examination September 16, 1756. At
that time he mist have been, by the rules of the college, 22
years of age, so that he now numbers at the least 110 years.
Next on the list, Thomas Bolger, his son, who passed in 1784,
and who is now, therefore, at least 82 years of age. Neither
of these gentlemen has been elected a Fellow under the recent
charter.
The poor man Sumner, who was so dreadfully
mutilated by the explosion of a cannon at Blenheim-park
last week, is getting better, under the skilful treatment he is
receiving at the Radcliffe Infirmary, Oxford. He will, how-
ever, it is feared, sustain the loss of one of his eyes, as well
as both his bands, should he in other respects ultimately
recover.
