Between eight and nine o'clock last night, a fatal
accident occurred at Somerset-house : —Jahn Onis,
an assistalit porter in the Navy Pay-office, in a state
of inebriety, got on the iron-railing, for the• purimse
of raising the sash to obtain admittance into the hall,
and fell into the area, a depth of 40 feet. The un-
fortnnateman was immediately picked up, and car-
ried intosan apartment in the •office, and a surgeon
was immediately sent for. Mr. Kenny, assistant to
Mr. Stanton, in the Strand, - attended ; but from the
nature of the injury he received, his skull being frac-
tured in several places, he could render no assistance.
He was about 30 years old, and has left a widow and
tw o children to deplore his loss.
llnowx NG.—Two brothers, of the name of Sewell,
one sixteen years of age and the other thirteen, were
'drowned in a pond at Bassilton, near Stantnore, en
Thursday. The eldest was skaiting, when the ice
broke in nine feet of water. The unfortunate youth
was paddling with his hands on the surface of the
.ice, when the younger, who was enjoying his slide,
• went to his assistance, fell inter the hole, ar.d bock
per ished. The bodies were taken up in an hour after.
The Pa RlM—Yesterday, from two to three o'clock,
the carriage-ride in Hyde Park was filled with gay
and splendid equipages, and more particularly mar
rthe Serpentine, which was covered with numerous
,groups of skaiters of the first water. The figure.: ci
eight, quadrangles, and semicircles were the most pc-,
violins, and army of the perfor mere appeared to be
very expert. Notwithstanding that many persons fell
into the Canal in St. James s'Paik on Thursday, is
con,equence of the ice breaking, it was crowded yes-
terday. At twelve o'clock three yonng men fell in
altogether, in the spot where the Pagoda-bridge stoop ,
but happily they were got out, by means of rose ,
without sustaining any matetial injury. The Croak-
then left the spot, and entered near the Parade upon
the ice, a place at all times dangerous from the sir
cnmstance of the water being always kept in nuiti..o
by the sluices. At three o'clock several lads pressed
close together, when the ice broke, and one of them
tell in completely.. One of the Humane Society's men
threw off his coat, dived after him, and brought iris
head to the surface, but could not extricate him from
the ice. A rope was lashed to the man's body, but
this had not the desired effect, and a ladder was tried,
but it proved of no service. The man remanxd :25
minut!•44.endeavouring to pull up the boy, AO en Le
lecaure. oimself insensible, and lost his hold. Ile was
then dragged out senseless, and carried upon men's
shoulders to a public-house, where means were st:c-.
cessfully used to restore him. The body a thelra;`
was not found ea a late ltour.
