ACCIDENT IN THE LONG WALK, WINDSOR.--011
Sunday evening, about five o'clock, only a few minutes be-
fore her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince
Albert, in a pony phaeton and pair, had entered the Long
Walk, for their usual afternoon's airing, a serious accident
occurred to two gentlemen in a gig, between the double
gates and the statue on Snow-hill, as they were returning
from Virginia Water. It appears that in descending the
hill the horse took fright, both gentlemen being thrown out,
one of whom was for some time insensible. The horse then
dashed furiously on towards Windsor • but the keeper, re-
siding at the lodge at the double gates' seeing its approach,'
had just time to close the gate, and thus fortunately stopped
the animal, which was proceeding at the rate of some twenty
miles an hour. Both the horse and carriage were much in-
jured. In a few minutes afterwards the Queen and the
prince drove along the same road which had but just before
been so furiously traversed.
ADVERTISEMENT. ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY
PROOF OF THE EFFICACY OF HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—
Mr. Stevens, a gentleman holding a highly responsible
situation in an insurance-office in the City, from over
attention to business, became so bilious, debilitated, and
nervous, with palpitation of heart, and with a dread on
the mind of some approaching calamity, as to be ren-
dered for some weeks quite incapable of attending to his
duties. In this truly pitiable state he commenced the
use of this miraculous medicine, which in a fortnight re-
stored him to the highest enjoyment of health, and this
when physicians failed to afford the least relief. Sold (also
Holloway's Ointment) at Professor Holloway's Esta-
blishment, 244, strand (where advice may be had
gratis), and by almost all respectable medicine vendors
throughout the civilised world.
METROPOLITAN IMPROVEAIENTS. Yesterday a
communication was opened for foot passengers from Oxibrd-
street to Charlotte-street, Bloomsbury, on the south side of
the new thoroughfare that is to connect Oxford-street with
H '
may
by which the circuitous route in front of St. Giles's
church avoided. The passage is across the cellars
-hich have been built for the new houses on that side of the
street. On the north side of the way the whole of the ground
is nearly excavated for the vaults, which will be completed
in a very short time. In digging the ground about the spot
where stood the hospital for lepers, some deep wells were
found, in which were pumps, that had evidently been three
several hundred years, as they were formed of hollow trees
sunk in the wells.
