DREADFUL ACCIDENT.

Yesterday, between. one and two, as Mr.
ELDER, jun. of Swallow-street, was driving, a
spirited horse in a break, down the Haymarket,
the animal-took fright, it is supposed, at some of
the iron •work of the break, which, having become
loose, made a loud rattling noise, and he in►me-
diately began kicking and plunging, in the most
violent manner. The shafts of the carriage
were almost instantly broken, and Mr. Elder
and his servant thrown on the pavement. The
horse finding himself disencwl!bered of the ve-
hicle, and terrified witl► the broken shafts, still
hanging by his sides among the liarness, dashed
on the foot pavement, where lie came in contact
►with Hill Dailey, Eq. of Ryder-street, and,
shocking to relate, Mr. Dailey ►was thrown
down, and so much injured, Cott he expired in
a few minutes. The unfortunate gentleman
was immediately carried into tl►e shop of Mr.
Hudson, chemist, »ear the end of Manton-street,
and was hied; but too late, he merely requested to
be " raised up a little," and almost instantly ex-
pired. Mr. Elder was carried into the shop of
Mr. Hastings, near the Theatre, and, having re-
ceived every necessary assistance, was after-
wards eonveyen home in a coach, and is not con-
sidered to be in a dangerous state. Atter Mr
Darley was thrown down, the horse s ill con-
tinued his course down the foo•-path, throwing
down several persons in his way, and though
many persons attempted to stop hint, it was found
impracticable passing, till over to the opposite
ravernent in Cockspnr-stree, he tell, partly within
the shop-door of Messrs. Dare and Stark, and he
was then secured. The hody of Mr. Darley re-
mains at the house of Mr. Hudson, where the
inquest will be held. Hr• was a gentleman of great
notoriety in the sporting world, and had left his
apartments in Ryder-street, St. James's-square,
only a few minutes before this awful catastrophe.
The injury which Caused his death was a com-
pression of the skull upon the brain, the back
part of his head having fallen oil the corner or the
area coping stone, belonging to Mr. Godfrey's
house, the hatter, a few doors above Panton-street. ,

ALARM OF FMB —This morning, a few minutes
before six o'clock, the inhabitants of Milford.
place, Tottenham-court-road, were thrown into
a considerable degree of alarm by the watchman
springing his rattle, a tire beginning to make
its appearance in a chimney there, on which the
neighbours were immediately On the spot, the en-
gines also, and being. well supplitd with plenty
of water it was prevented doing tiny material
damage At one time several of the iohabitatits
were on the eve of beginning to move ►off their
uornis, fearful of the dreadful const quences it
seemed at one pertotl to threaten. Much praise
is due to the watchman for his activity.

ANOTHER MußDEit:—Anta week ago, as a
man named H• nry. Gill, enri,loyed as a waggoner
by Mr. Gl,rver, of Mitcham, was passing over
Mitcham Common, with a Wag Eon .loadm with
three casks of tobacco. on his way. to. London,
he was attacked by two men, who knocked him
down before -e had time to put himself on the de-
fensive : while be was on the ground they beat
and kicked him until he was insensible, and, as they
supposed, dead, when they robbed. biro of all the
money he had about his person, amounting to
only eight shillings. The villains expected to
find a booty in the waggon, but they were de-
ceived; the casks of 'ohacco were not sufficiently
portable for their purpose, They decamped with
the paltry sum, leaving the man for dead. He
lay on the ground 'or a considerable time, when
a roan came up, and seeing his condition went
for assistance, and they put the poor fellow in
the waggon, and conveyed him to the Windmill
public-house. Clapham, where medical assistance
was procured, and it was found that several ribs
and his collaf-hone were' hr.ken, and that he
hart sustained very violent internal injuries by the
kicks he had received.. He was from thence con-
veyed home to his family at Moreden, where he
ingered in great agony until Sunday last, when he
died from the effects of the inhuman treatment of
the midnight marauders.

SUICIDEC—An Inquisition was taken on Mon-
day nigh,, at St. Thomas's Hospital, on the body
Of THOMAS SPREAD3OIIOUGH, wlio was found on
Thursday night last with his throat cut in a
most shocking manner. It appeared from the evi-
dence of the deceased's wife, and also his late em-
ployer, that he had been I,,tely in a very de-
sponding state of mind. During his fits of de-
spondency he used to be lamenting that he was
in existence, for he was certain that he should
come to poverty ;and want. On Thursday night
last he left his home, and was found a short
time after in Ship-lane, Airalcot-place, Lambeth,
near the house of T. Evance, Esq., a Magis-
trate of Union Hall, with his...throat cut with a
knife, which remained in his right hand. He
was carried to St.Thomas's Hospital, and died on
Monday morning, at six o'clock.—Verdict—ltt-

Yesterday morning Frede►ic Rimer, a prisoner
in the New Prison, Clerkenwell, was found dead
with his throat cut in a horrible manner. He had
in his possession upwards of a hundred pounds
in guineas and Bank-notes.

HIGHWAY RossettY...--On Monday evening,
between seven and eight o'clock, as Mr.
Waters, of the Commercial Docks, Rotherhithe,
was passing along the Kent-road, near the Blue
Anchor, he was attacked by three men, one of
whom having passed him, turned suddenly round
and placed his hands tigl►t over Mr. Waters's
eyes, the others immediately laid hold of him.
and with horrid threats and imprecations de-
manded his watch and money; he hesitated to
deliver up his property, when they threw him
down and kicked and beat him in a most inhuman
manner, and finally succeeded in robbing him of
his watch, ISS. and his bat, with which they ef-
fected their escape.
