tered at the Azores to convey cargoes of Orac4-4es to

the States than from the Azores to England, a new and
important channel is likely to be ol ened for the
consumption of this description of produce. The price
of Barcelona Nuts has declined, from the oppoq ioti of
two houses engaged iu the trade, and at the present low
price of 38s per bug the buyers are laying in stock,
higher prices being expected.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE

DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE.-(THIS DAY.)

- -
Shortly after ten o'clock this morning, an accident of
a most fearful character occurred near the terminus of
the North-Western Railway, Eustoe-square, to Joseph
Gill, one of the postillions belonging to the carriage of
the Duchess of Cambridge, as he was driving his royal
mistress to the station to be conveyed iu an express train
to Prop:more.
It apps ars that at the above time, the Duchess of
Cambridge, attended by two ladies in waiting, left Cam-
bridge-house, Piecadillyr, in a carriage drawn by tour
horses, and proceeded, to the North-Western Railway
terminus, for the purpose of being conveyed by the
quarter-I ast ten o'clock express train to Frogmore. On
the carriage turning the corner of Whittlebury-street,
the near aide-wheel horse slipped, and fell ou its off
side, throwing the unfortunate postillion Gill, upon the
ground. The animal, in endeavouring to rise, tell upon
him, and struck the other horse, on the off side. This
horse commenced kicking and plunging. Gill received
several severe kicks about the head and body, and,
eventually, before the horse could be held by the head,
he slipped, and fell upon the unfortunate postillion, and
both horses then commenced kicking at each other.
Before Gill could be released her Roy al Highness and
her ladies in waiting were assisted out of the carriage
and conducted to the Lamb Hotel.
After considerable difficulty Gill was extricated frcm
under the horses, and was found to be in a state of in-
sensibility, and bleeding most profusely from several
severe wounds he had received. lie was inst,ntly re-
moved to the house of Mr. Oliver, the landlord of the
Drummond Arms, where Mr. Caharn, a surgeon, and
several surgeons from the University College Hospital,
soon attended. They found that his right leg was most
extensively fractured, and his body covered with
contusions and bruises, and in addition to which he had
been most severely injured in the abdomen. 'the usual
remedies were immediately applied, and be soon avter-
wards recovered from the st.to of insensibility. His
sufferings are most acute, and he remains at the public-
house in a very precarious condition. The Duchess
gavc strict injunctions that every possible attention
should be laid the unfortunate man, and shortly after-
wards left the hotel, attended by the railway officials, and
proce, ded to the station to start for Frogtnore. Her
Royal Highness locked excessively pale, and seemed
greatly agitated and alarmed.
