A WORD IN SE AS')N of with,t
we should rather say in consequence of—the heat of the weather,
ice in large quantities is to be met with in every street, at various
pastry-cooks. It is to be wished that the Humane Society, or
somebody, would have these places marked " Dangerous," for the
especial benefit of young ladies, who frequently hurt themselves by
venturing too often on the ice.—Punch.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE DURING A BALL AT WHITE
CONDUIT HOUSE.—On Wednesday morning, between one and two
o'clock, the following singular and shocking accident occurred at
a ball at White Conduit House, which followed the dinner
held there on Tuesday evening, uy the ratepayers of St. Pancras,
in celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the passing
of the Vestries Act. In order to gratify the wish of Com-
modore Sir Charles Napier, M.P., who had signified his intention
of being present, Mr. Ripley, the conductor of the entertain-
ment, had especially engaged the piper of the Earl of Aberdeen,
and a number of Scotch friends, to perform the dances of their
country. The whole party were magnificently attired in the
Highland costume, and commenced by dancing a Highland reel,
in which the gallant Commodore took part, and danced with equal
spirit to any of his juniors in yews, amidst the loud applause of the
crowded assembly. The celebrated " Tullagorum" was next called
for, and whist performing some of the extraordinary steps requiring
the development of great muscular power, incident to that dance, a
young man, named Warren, sudden)), missed his footing, and fell with
his right izrm under his body. The occurrence at first created a laugh,
but from the fainting condition of the dancer, it soon became evident,
that some serious injury had been sustained. Sir Charles Napier
was one of the first to run to Mr. Warren's assistance, and he was
removed in an insensible condition to the private apartments of
Mr. Rouse, the proprietor, and there seen by one or two medical
gentlemen, who were in the ballroom at the time. On examina-
tion, it was found, that his right arm was broken in a frightful
manner, and he was forthwith removed in a cab to the Middlesex
Hospital, where he received the necessary attention, and was then
removed to his residence, in Chapel-street, Tottenham Court-road,
where he now lies. The arm is so dreadfully shattered, that it is
feared the entire loss of it will be the result,
