SIIOC.KINO ACClDENT.—Yesterday after-
noon, between two and throe o'clock, a shocking accident
happened on the Marine-parade, by a horse plunging over
the railings, dragging down the cliff a fly containing three
ladies.—From what we have been able to learn, it seem,
that the horse ern blind, and the driver, in endeavouring
to turn, drove the anitnal's breast against the rail, which
being exceedingly rotten, broke asunder. Tiais, it seems,
frightened the horse, and the driver striking him at the
same time, he plunged forward over the cliff, dragging the
fly down the pretipice. The driver was thrown over the
horse from his seat, and fell an his head. The descent of
the fly is described, by those who witnessed it, as being
dreadfully rapid, rolling over and over till it fell on
the beach below. The shrieks of the ladies were ap-
palling. Great numbers of persons hurried to the spot,
but it was impossible to render the least assistance till the
fly reached the bottom, when the ladies were taken from
the carriage. Two of them, we are happy to learn, re
not seriously injured, but the third was much bruised in
the bead, and one arm was broken about the wrist. The
terror and consternation occasioned by the accident it is
impossible to depict, and it is a matter of perfect astonish-
ment how any of them escaped with their lives. The poor
man was taken up in a dreadful state, and conveyed to the
workhouse ; we understand there is but a very faint hope
entertained of his recovery. His spine is said to be greatly
injured, and his head is also severely fractured. The spot
where the accident happened is nearly opposite the shop of
Mr. BEST, chemist and druggist, between the New-steine
and Charlotte-street. The cliff there is not perpendicular;
had it been so, they must all have been killed, but the
lower part of it is sloping. There is a space, about two
feet wide, level with the road, on the outside of the rails;
beyond which there is a perpendicular descent of about
seven or eight feet. A ledge of about four or five feet in-
tervenes, beyond which is another perpendicular descent of
about twelve or fourteen feel., and the rest of the cliff is an
uneven slope to the beach. The whole height is about 50
or 60 feet. A few yards to the eastward ,of the cliff is
sloping, to within about six feet of the level of the road ;
and about the same distance to the westward it is sloping
from the top, but very rugged. The ladies were con-
veyed to No. 3, New-steine, from whence they were after-
wards removed to their own lodgings, 14, King's-road.—
