DREADFUL ACCIDENT.--On Tuesday night, about
half-past twelve o'clock, as Mr. Inspector Attwood and
P. C. Axford, 98, were passing the Royal Hotel, in the
Mall, Clifton, they heard a bustle inside as of some
person endeavouring to open a door. They obtained en-
trance, and found that one of the bed-rooms up stairs was on
fire. They immediately procured buckets of water, by.throw-
ing which on the flames inside, and judiciously keeping the
door shut during the time the water was being fetched, they
succeeded in extinguishing the flames beflire they had spread
beyond the room in which they originated. As soon as the
tiff ing smoke had subsided they entered the room, and dis-
covered that the gentleman who had been sleeping there had,
in his fright, jumped right through the closed window, and
had fallen to the ground outside, a distance of forty feet.
His fall had been broken by a lamp, otherwise it is prtbable
he would have been killed on the spot ; as it is, we regret to
say that his thigh-bone was broken, a compound fracture of
the knee, and dislocation of the foot, on the right side; on
tke left side, the foot most extensively burnt, arid the knee
dreadfully lacerated ; his arms cut by the glass, and his head
and face much cut and burnt. The gentleman is Mr.Heatli-
cote, of the firm of Heathcote and Holman, solicitors, Cole-
man-street, London, who was here on professional business in
the Bankruptcy Court. He was immediately conveyed to
the Infirmary, where he remains in a very dangerous state,
under the skilful care of Mr. N. Smith and DIN Greig. From
a fragment of the Times newspaper, partly burnt, being
near the bedside, it is imagined the accident arose from Mr.
Heathcote's reading in bed. The most remarkable circum-
stance is, that only one pane of glass, and that not a very
large one, was broken by Mr. Ileathcote jumping through
the window.—Sherborne Journal.
FAVERSHAM, MARCH 24.—About seven o'clock on
an express arrived at Faversham with

Queen Court, Ospringe, were on fire. The markteet

[ADVERTISEMENT.] -- HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.—The
virtue of this most extraordinary medicine is so admirable
and efficacious that it wonderfully preserves man in health
and strength of body, and of all the powers and faculties of
his mind. It is a sovereign remedy for all diseases, however
bad, that admit of a cure. All persons suffering from general
debility, nervous affections, liver or bilious complaints, sick
head-aches, indigestion, want of appetite, as well as every
complaint brought on by sedentary habits. For all such
these pills will be found to give almost immediate relief. Sold
(also Holloway's Ointment) at Professor Holloway's Esta-
blisement 244, Strand (where advice may be had gratis),
and by almost all respectable vendors of medicine throughout
the civilised world.

A SAILOR'S PRANKS.--A few days a man named
Webster, a sailor, was fined Bs. 6d. with costs, by the
Magistrates of Falmouth, for assaulting a constable.
The Recorder, Mr. Merivale, was riding through the
town on a pony with a very long tail. Webster took
hold of the tail and held on. The worshipful magistrate
tried to roach him with his whip, but the length of the
tail prevented him. The policeman came to. the rescue
of the magistrate, but was attacked by the jolly tar, who
hit him and knocked him with great violence.—Sher-
borne Journal.

A SIGN OR THE. TIMES.--During-the last week no
less than forty-five snares, some with hares in them,
were found upon the estate of Tollerton, immediately
adjoining the property of Earl Manvers at Cotgrave.
There is a clue to :the offenders, who are threatened
with being prosecuted with. the utmost• rigour of the
law as soon as legal• evidence is obtained for that pur-
pose. Every precaution having been adopted, by notice
and otherwise, to render them wilful trespassers, it may
be well to inform persons who follow such pursuits, that
it is not requisite to encounter them personally, but only
to identify them in order to bring actions.'lVottingham
Review.
