ACCIDENT TO MONS. F. LEMAITRE.—This eminent
actor, while en route front Paris to London to fulfil his engagement
at the St. James's Theatre, where he is announced to appear on
Monday next, met with an accident from which his escape with life
was most miraculous and providential. When about a league from
Boulougne the horses of the carriage in which he was travelling took
fright, when descending a precipitous hill from the negligence of the
postilion the carriage was overturned with tremendous violence, and
one of the horses killed on the spot, but fortunately M. F. Lemaitre,
with the exception of being severely cut and bruised, escaped without
any serious injury. Since his arrival in London, M. Lemaitre has
been attended by Dr. Willey, through whose judicious treatment there
is no doubt he will be enabled to fulfil his engagement.
The works on the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings
Railway are progressing very rapidly. Fahner tunnel, when com-
pleted, will be about six hundred yards through; a shaft has been
sunk at the summit of the hill, nearly midway in the tunnel; and at
the bottom of the shaft, diverging east and west, openings of about
eight feet square have been made to a considerable distance. To the
east, a length of about three hundred and fifty feet has been already
reached; but in the western direction the progress has not been quite
so rapid, in consequence of the greater hardness of the chalk. Night
and day gangs are constantly at work, and not a moment is Wet.
When the weather is more favourable, a great additional number of
hands will be employed. The line has been commenced at the East-
ings end, which augurs well for its speedy completion.--)frighten

before. —Cambridge Advertiser.
