ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The following medical certificates relating to the
several individuals were received yesterday by the
Secretary to the Company, from the surgeons in at-
tendance :

"Berkhampstead, Thursday, Half-past Ten P.M.
" Sir,—We regret to have the melancholy duty of
informing you that the poor woman Mary Bye ex-
pired about half an hour since. You may be assured
that every means have been assiduously used to save
her, but she never rallied from the shock at the time
of the accident, and, gradually declining, sank at the
above time. " H. H. HILDA, Surgeon.
" T. BaowN, Surgeon."
" Berkhampstead, Friday, Dec. 9.
" Dear Sir,—We beg to state that on our visit Ao
John Tomlin this morning, we find he has passed a
restless night, is suffering severe pain from his in-
juries on the head and chest, and must be still con-
sidered in circumstances of great danger.
" H. H. HILDA, Surgeon.
" T. BROWN, Surgeon."
" Berkhampstead, Dec. 9.
" William Low and the firemen of the engine are
both going on favourably.
" THOMAS WHATELEY Surgeon."
Mr. Tomlin follows the occupation Of maltster at
Boxmore, to which place he was returning from
Aylesbury when the accident occurred.
Mary Bye (the deceased) was a poor widow woman
residing in Aylesbury, in which town she was well
known
,by many respectable persons. The circum-
stances of her being on the road to London are pecu-
liarly melancholy—her visit being to attend her
daughter in an approaching confinement. John Pem-
berton, the Company's stoker, who was removed to
Berkhampstead after the accident, was sufficiently re-
covered to proceed to Aylesbury last evening.
Mathew Lowe, the overlooker, who is also in a fa-
vourable state, still remains at Berkhampstead.

Yesterday afternoon a shocking accident occurred
to a respect-able female named Margaret Walker, 70
years of age, residing in Bishopsgate-street, who,
whilst in the act of crossing Cornhill, opposite the
Mansion House, was knocked down by an omnibus,
which was passing at the time. A policeman who
saw the occurrence, immediately ran to her assist.
ance, and on picking her up it was found that her
right anele was dislocated, and she was otherwise
severely injured. He procured a cab, and conveyed
her to St. Thomas's Hospital, where she lies in a
perfectly insensible state, and without the slightest
hope of recovery.
RUSSIAN STEAM NAVIGATION.—Two very fine new
steamers of about 800 tons each, with engines of 260
horse power, by Maudsley and Field, are now in the
East India Dock, on the point of departure for Con-
stantinople. They have been constructed here for the
Russian Government, are fitted as passenger and cargo
vessels, and are, it is said, destined to ply in the Black
Sea and the Bosphorus. _ _

THE LAWGIVER AND THE MONET-TAKER.---
Martin Fuldes, the antiquary, remarks, that our
English Kings, on their " great seals," have been
always represented with beards; whilst, on their
" coins," they have always exhibited themselves
smooth faced. How is this? Is it that the law-giver
is mure terrific than the muney-taker ? or that the
latter is the more barefaced of the two ?
THE BISHOP AND HIS " DUE."-Dr. Egerton, once
Bishop of Durham, on coming to that See, employed
one Due as agent, in order to improve and ascertain
the real value of the estates, &c. Due's reportgreatly
raised the fines and reserved rents of his tenants, who,
in their convivial meetings about Durham. had a fa-
vourite toast which never escaped them. " May:the
Lord take the Bishop, and the d-1 his Due."
