FATAL ACCIDENT at CAMBRIDGE.
Every one who recollects the chief circumstance which
caused the death of his Royal Highness the late Duke of Or-
leans will be struck with the similar nervousness displayed
in a melancholy accident which has just occurred at Cam-
bridge, and which had an equally fatal termination. On
Thursday Mr. Edward Jones Fox, of St. John's College, and
a son of br. Fox, of Bristol, was driving a phaeton and pair
along the Trumph.gton-road, in which were three of his
friends, when on coming near the stone bridge the horses
began to pull too strong for him. He attempted, instead of
pulling them in gradually, to stop them by a sudden and
powerful check, for which purpose he put his leg across
the reins; whilst he was in the act of doing so the reins
broke, and the horses made off at full speed. Mr. Fox
leaped unfortunately from his seat, and fell to the ground.
The other gentlemen kept to the carriage and managed
by degrees to stop the horses. Colonel Glover and his son
were walking on the road at the time of the accident,
and came .up to Mr. Fox, who they thought had landed
safely on his feet at first, although he instantly fell to
the ground. They raised him up, and perceived there
was a profusion of blood where his head had lain for the mo-
ment. He walked for a few paces, and declared he could not
go on any further, and they laid him down by the bank on
the way side until further assistance arrived. Mr. Bailey
Turner, a surgeon, coming up at this time in his gig, the
unfortunate gentleman was placed alongside of him, and con-
,..veyed..ttftwerds ,Ounbridge, Taal ,the,.intention of, stopping
at the hospital. He became, however, unmanageable, from
the strong convulsions into which he fell, and he succeeded
in throwing himself over the wheel. He was then taken
into the house of Mr. Walters, architect, where he was
put to bed and attended to. Dr. Haviland and Messrs.
Sudbury and Johnson, surgeons, afforded every medical as-
sistance, but in vain : he expired at eleven o'clock the same
night. An inquest was held on Friday, before Mr. Cooper,
the Coroner of the town, when it appeared that the names
of the gentlemen who had been in the phaeton on the
occasion, and who luckily escaped unhurt, were Watson,
Dobson, and Gordon. The first-mentioned had endeavoured,
but in vain, to assist Mr. Fox in restraining the horses in
the first instance, by pulling the rein next himself. It
was then that Mr. Fox, determining to pull in at any
risk, and put his leg across the reins, met with the melancholy
accident which occurred. Mr. Charles Davis, landlord of
the King's Head, the owner of the horses, as well as his
ostler, George Trace, were examined, and from their evi-
dence, it appeared iat the harness was good and service•
able, and that the horses had been constantly driven, both
ix single and double harness, without any accident ever
having taken place with them. The dreadful occurrence
took place between three and four o'clock, and it appears by
Mr. Sudbury, the surgeon's, evidence, who saw deceased
about a quarter of an hour after he fell, that a collapse of a
couple of hours took place, when a re-action followed, and,
with the consent of all the medical men present, he was
bled. Mr. Sudbury, in continuation, stated that, for the
next hour, he seemed to improve—his breathing was better,
but there was no return of consciousness. He remained in
much the same state 'till about half-past ten, becoming
gradually worse during that time. There was afterwards a
great hemorrage from the nose ; the discharge continued
from the ears. Death was caused by a fracture at the base
of the skull, producing compression of the brain. 'Witness
attended him some time ago, and he fancied that he had
a disease of the heart, which was, in witness's opinion, ima-
ginary. The deceased was of a nervous temperament. The
coroner was of opinion, with respect to the amount of a
deodand, that no blame whatever, was attached to Mr. Davis,
or to any one in his employment; in fact, he was not pre-
pared to say, that there should be any deodand, as the acci-
dent resulted, not from the horses becoming affrighted, but
fright of the deceased, and his having jumped out. In ac-
cordance with this opinion, the jury returned a verdict,
" That the deceased, being frightened at the breaking of the
reins, threw himself from the phaeton, and falling on the
ground, received a concussion of the brain, from which injury
he died." The inquest was attended by a great many mem-
bers of the University, friends of the deceased, who was an
exceedingly promising, generous .hearted, and amiable young
man, and universally beloved and esteemed by all who had
the pleasure of his acquaintance. It might have been deemed
a strange circumstance that one of the best drivers of his age
in England should have evinced such want of tact and pre-
sence of mind on such a trying occasion, had not Mr. Sud•
bury, his medical attendant, testified to the fact of his nervous
temperament.

APPALLING OCCURRENCE at the
ADELPHI THEATRE, GLASGOW.
- (From the Gasgow Citizen of Saturday.)
Last night one of those appalling incidents occurred at the
Alelphi Theatre, which illustrate `so forcibly the effects of
a sudden panic upon a large crowd. The evening's per-
formances were for the benefit of Mr. J. Grey, a popular
member of Mr. Miller's company, and boxes, pit, and
gallery were crowded to excess. Everything went on
well till about half-past ten o'clock, when a false alarm
of fire arose in the gallery. A fire had broken out in
another part of the town—namely, in the premises
of Mr. Niven, printer, Glassford-street, which, however, was
speedily extinguished ; and it appears that the alarm was in-
cautiously sounded in the theatre for the purpose of getting
out certain men belonging to the fire brigade who happened
to be among the audience, and who, according we believe to
custom, had left notice where they were in case of their being
required. The scene which ensued it is impossible to describe.
In a moment all was confusion and dismay. The rush to the
doors, and over the gallery and boxes into the pit, and from
the pit upon the stage, was tremendous. Large numbers were
thrown down and trampled under foot, and the noise and
shrieking which prevailed rendered any attempt at ex
planation utterly hopeless. Several of the actors kept
their ground and made every exertion to pacify the
audience—others rushed, apparelled as they were, into
the street; and a considerable time elapsed before
order was even partially restored. Fortunately it was
found that no one was killed, but numbers were much hurt—
some, we regret to say, seriously. Mr. Miller, the manager
was untiring in his efforts to minister to the bruised and
wounded, several of whom he sent home in noddies. Dr. Easton,
surgeon to the police establishment, and Dr. King, North
Hanover-street, were speedily upon the spot, and the sufferers
received all the attention which was possible under the
circumstances. Many were of course much more frightened
than hurt, and the confusion was increased by friends seek-
ing friends, and by exaggerated rumours of the numbers
injured, as well as of the extent of the injuries. At the late
hour at which we write, and so soon after the occurrence of
the catastrophe, it is not easy to procure authentic details;
but the following, we believe, is a list of all the more serious
casualties :
Christina M'Coll, 18 or 19 years of age, residing at foot of
Saltmarket—taken home bruised.
James Chalmers, Goosedubs, injured on left side—sent to
Infirmary.

•
Peter Brodie, weaver in Cambuslang—leg sprained in
dropping from gallery to pit.
Barney lkl‘Pheely, a boy, residing at 13, Little Dove-hill—
sent home bruised. _ • _ _

C. J. Dupain, spirit dealer, Saltmarket—carried to his own
house, having received some injuries in the back, but not, it
is thought, serious.
A young man, having the appearance of a working lad,
dressed in moleskin trowsers, jacket, and waistcoat—taken,
to infirmary on a police-bier. This case is more serious than
any of the others. He was unable to speak when taken up,
and accordingly his name has not been learned. •
Andrew Templeton, King-street, Calton—bruised on the
side.
One man, whose name we could not ascertain, had his arm
dislocated and his jaw injured ; another had his arm severely
cut, and a third had lacerated his hands in dropping from the

gallery.
In addition to these, there are, no doubt, many trifling
injuries ; but it is amazing that numbers were not killed.
No blame, of course, attaches to the conductors of the theati a,
who did all they could to check the groundless panic, and
who were afterwards unremitting in their exertions to
alleviate its unhappy consequences.
A good deal of damage has been done to the theatre by
the breaking down of benches, chandeliers, &c.; but this
we believe to be the least source of regret to the manager,
who seems a benevolent and kind-hearted man.

Among the minor incidents, we may mention that poor
old Livingstone (formerly well known on the Queen-street
boards, and who now fills the situation of box-keeper), was
knocked down by some miscreant when the confusion was at
its height, and robbed of several pounds.

NEW ROTAL ExcluNGE.—With the promptitude
and punctuality that has attended all the proceedings con-
nected with this great work, the mass of Bank .buildings,
which concealed the principal or west front have been re-
moved within a short month, and the portico in all its
splendid proportions is now exhibited. We understand that
this portico is the largest by far in London, and that it is
only second to the portico of the Pantheon at Rome, and the
Madeleine at Paris. It consists in front of eight Corinthian
columns, the extreme breadth being 90 feet, and the height
to the apex of the pediment 76 feet. The general proportions
of this portico are exceedingly admired, and there ap-
pears but one feeling in the City, that the architect has suc-
ceeded in producing one of the finest works of the present
age. At the meeting of the Joint Gresham Committee
which took place on Saturday, we are informed that this feel-
ing was exhibited by the most liberal suggestion for further
decorations in sculpture at the expense of the Committee;
and it was resolved that in addition to the sculpture in the
pediment, the interior should be decorated by a statue of our
gracious Queen Victoria, and that inasmuch as the statue of
the munificent founder, Sir Thomas Gresham, in the old
Exchange, was destroyed by fire, a new one should be pro-
vided and placed in the niche of Chef tower over the great
eastern entrance. Other suggestions or further decorations
were referred to a sub-committee for consideration. The
place of the statue of the Duke of 'Wellington in front of the
portico of the Exchange is also determined upon, and it will
be about 30 yards back from the corner of Princes-street, and
in the centre of the area created by the destruction of Bank.
buildings.
PROLIFIC EWE OF THE LEICESTER EREED.--Mr.
Thomas sell, farmer, of Randle Holme Hall, has at this time
a ewe seven years of age, that has had 19 lambs, which are
all living and doing well. She brought them forth as fol-
lows :—At one year old she had 2 lambs ; at two, she had 2 ;
at-three,-3 ; at our, 3; at five, 4 ; at six, 2 ; at seven, 3.
FREAKS F A HORSE.--A circumstance, of an
unusually strange character occurred at Bromley, Kent, on
Thursday' afternoon, which happily terminated without
serious injury. A horse, while being cleaned in the stables of
Mr. Pawley, of the White Hart Hotel, became restive, and
started into the street, p: oceeding through the village at a
furious pace. Being suddenly checked, he returned, and
rushed into the front entrance of the hotel, and, after
plunging and kicking for some time, bolted through a long
passage, ascended two flights of stairs, and finally made his
way into t 4 a4sembly.,ls;kin-4 where the door was imtne-

MAGAZINES.-(CONTINUED.)
NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
The character, habits, personal peculiarities' &c.l of
the Emperor _Nicholas arc minutely described in i
Number, by a writer u ho, it appears, has been some
years resident in Russia, and has had many opportu-
nities of picking up Court gossip. He represents the
Czar as one of the handsomest and most symmetrical
men of his age, upwards of six feet in height, stately
and severe in his demeanour, and greatly addicted to
frightening, honest people out
.of their wits by the
sternness of his Imperial stare. His acquirements
are more than respectable; he speaks French and
German with perfect fluency,' has a passable know-
ledge of English literature, but is so little acquainted
with our insular character and habits that he is con-
stantly falling into error, whenever England is the ,
theme of his conversation. His brother, the Grand ,
Duke Michael, is equally uninformed on this point,
so much so that when . "he meets the clergyman of
the British factory of St. Petersburgh in. the streets,
he addresses him in English with, ' Ah, G—d d—n
your eyes, how are you ?' " This he means as a
courteous salutation, and of course the discreet parson
acknowledges it with becoming pride and thankful-
ness. There appears by all accounts to be much that is
melodramatic in the character Of Nicholas ; like Louis
the Fourteenth, he is a sort of made-up man, and
eechibits his warlike propensities to considerable advan-
tage at reviews, though we do not learn that he has
ever found courage enough to head his armies in the
field, or that his campaigns have ever extended be-
yond the parade ground of St. Petersburgh. He has
not yet achieved in person even the capture of a pig-
sty, and must, therefore, be considered as a less expe-
rienced warrior than the gallant Major Sturgeon,
whose daring assault on the old sow at the head of
the City Light Horse, has immortalized his memory.
" Recreations in Natural History" are devoted this
month to an account of the habits and physical pecu
Rarities of the elephant, of whose sagacity several
curious anecdotes are related. " Social Nuisances"

is an anathema against_ lap-dogs, in the justice of
which we cordially concur. " Their selfishness is de-
testable," observes the author, "they engross the
snuggest chairs in the room, secure the best morsels,
and drink up all the cream at breakfast, without the
_ _

least regard to the duties of hospitality, or the com-
monest principles of politeness.' But this is not all ;
notwithstanding the aristocratic circles in which they
move, they are the most vulgar dogs in the kingdom,
and make a point of turning up their noses at such of
their brethren as have not had the good fortune to be
educated in the drawing-room. In an essay on the
"Rights of Dramatic Authors," occur some speculations
on the causes of the decline of Comedy among us. The
question is one by no means difficult of solution.
Our national manners and feelings have been so much
toned down of late years by constant intercourse
with the Continent, and the steady march of refine-
ment and intelligence,' that those marked distinctive
traits of character, which are the aliment of the Comic
Muse, are no longer to be found among us. One man
is now just for all the world like another man; we
have become sophisticated, and present no marks for
the shafts of wit and humour. True, our social,
literary, and political coteries still furnish ample food
for ridicule, but it is the business of Comedy to deal,
not with masses, but with individuals. " The Emi-
grants of St. Thomasso" is a passable poem, from the
pen ofiMrs. Gore; and we canextend no higher praise to
Horace Smith's "Moral Alchemy," which is a lan-
guid imitation of Wordsworth's didactic manner.
" April Fool's Day all the Year Round" is a
sprightly essay, whose execution is as ingenious as
its conception. " Lady Londonderry's Journal" is
full of entertaining gossip about Athens, PalermO,
Naples, and the society to be met with in these cities.
" The Wedding Day" is one of Ingoldsby's diverting
legends, and exhibits some of his raciest touches
of sarcasm and drollery. In hunting about for ex-
tracts, we can find none better suited to our circum-
scribed space than this pleasing poetical apostrophe to
" The Laurel :"

Oh ! the willow may wave o'er the mouldering grave,
For a scorner of valour is she,
But the type of renown is the evergreen crown,
That is form'd of the bright Laurel-tree ;
His green leaves have shed o'er the brow of the dead,
The halo of lasting renown,
For the mighty of earth, in their pride and their worth,
Were wreathed by the bright laurel crown
Peerless and changeless—oh ! long flourish he,
The pride of the nation—the green Laurel-tree.
Then hail to the Laurel—the evergreen King?
For a monarch undying is he ;
An emblem of fame, from past ages he came,
And still sacred his branches shall be:
For him lives the warrior, his life of renown,

His glory gives nerve to the brave ;
There's fame in his breath, and his boughs after death,
Are the emblems we carve on his grave !
Peerless and changeless, immortal shall be,
The pride of the nation, the green Laurel tree.
Though brace be the Laurel, we love him the most,
That he blooms net alone for the strong;
That his bright leaves are hung, for the Bards who have sung,
Whose voices were mighty in song !
Oh ; a song in his praise, shall be heard when the days
Of our warriors and minstrels are o'er,
When he yields then the fame of an undying name,
Like the Bards and the Heroes of yore!
Peerless and changeless,—oh ! long flourish he,
The evergreen monarch—the green Laurel tree.

ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE.
Mr. Jerrold's allegorical " Chronicles of Clover-
nook" are here resumed; it is impossible not to ad
mire the vigorous power of fancy that pervades them,
but we fear that they do not possess sufficient direct-
ness and obviousness of meaning to please the genera-
lity of periodical readers, who are apt to turn with
impatience from whatever taxes thought. Yet the
author has written few cleverer things, and certainly
none whose moral tone is so sound and elevated.
The " Orphan Milliners, a Tale of the West End" is
by Miss Camilla Toulmin • it is forcibly and unaffec-
tedly written ; and is illustrated by an engraving,
which represents a groupe of emaciated girls toiling
like slaves at their needle by midnight in order to
meet the demands of fashion—that smooth but inex-
orable tyrant who laughs to scorn all the claims of
humanity. " Sketches of Parisian Life" convey a
livily idea of the dandy of that over-refined capital.
In the essay on the " Belles of England" we find a
brief biographical notice of the famous Duchess of
Marlborough—the conqueror of the conqueror of
France, and who ruled her terrified sovereign with a
rod of iron. " Levy Papers" is a whimsical exposure
of some of the trickeries of legal pettifoggers. The
theme is a tempting one,
.and the lash cannot be laid
on in too severe a spirit. The " Chaunt of Death"
contains a striking image or two, and we subjoin it
accordingly
" I am not of earth, but spirit born,
Yet the wide world owns my sway;
Its pomp and its might I laugh to scorn,
For all must my will obey.
I visit the halls of dazzling light,
Enter the loftiest domes,
And all is anguish, and all is night,
Where the King of Terror comes.. _
" I reign o'er the waves of the mighty deep—
I ride on the stormy wind—
On every shore _where breakers sweep,
My ruthless track you find.
I soar on the wings of the pestilence—
Am heard in the tempest's crash—
And when earth is veiled in gloom intense,.
I sail in the lightning's flash.
" Yet oft in loveliest guise I dwell,—
On the light of the clear blue eye,
On the blooming cheek, set Imy spell,—
They wither—decay—and die.
And often I lurk in the night-wind's sigh,
And steal in the youthful breast,—
And gently, calmly, and silently,
Doth that spirit sink to rest
.And I smile as I niarkthe youthful brow

When I have doomed him to sure decay,
And know, while his bays are green,
That his toil-worn frame shall pass away
From earth, and "no more be seen."
" I care not for pomp or glittering crown,
Serf and Lord are alike to me—
For the mightiest king must bow him down
To a mightier king than he.
I speak! and the loftiest head must bend.
From creation's earliest dawn
-I have reigned, and my reign shall only end
With the last of woman born.
" All things of earth—of air—of sky—
Must yield them unto me,
And the vast and glittering worlds on high
Shall my parting conquest be;
• For the heavens shall melt and pass away
Ere the work of death be done,
And the Sun himself shall see decay
Ere my earthly race be run.
" The universe with my fame path rune
Since my banner I unfurled,
And my parting requiem shall be sung
'Mid the ruins of a world.
Lord over all with life and breath!
The same triumphant chime
That sounds the dirge of the monarch, Death,
Must sotind the knell of Time."

By the new naval regulations masters in the Royal navy,
prior to being appointed to situations in the Royal dock-
yards, are to be promoted to the rank of commanders. Sir
Joseph Douglas, master, will be among the first promoted,
and appointed Master-Attendant of Deptford Dockyard, as a
reward for his distinguished services whilst in command of a
merchant-ship at the commencement of the war with China,
and for which the honour of knighthood was conferred upon
him by her Majesty.
The Collingwood, 80, sister to the Vanguard, was docked
