MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.—We have to an-
nounce the melancholy death of Miss Anson, sister to Mr.
G. E. Anson, treasurer to his royal highness Prince Albert,
which took place under most distressing circumstances, on
Saturday afternoon, in Hyde-park. The unfortunate young
lady was at the time of the accident riding a high-spirited
horse, which she was in the act of correcting, when the ani-
mal suddenly ran away with her at full speed, and threw her
with great violence to the ground, close to a gentleman's car-
riage which was passing at the time, the wheels of which un-
fortunately passed over her neck, and deprived her of life.
On being raised from the ground, she breathed two or three
seconds, but before she could be conveyed to St. George's
Hospital she had ceased to exist. The accident, as may well
be imagined, caused a most painful sensation in all the fa-
shionable circles to which it became known. The body of
the unfortunate lady was removed from the hospipal in the
course of the evening. This distressing visitation will put
in mourning the houses of Lichfield, Itosebery, Forrester,
Mansfield, and Waterpark, and several other families. [lt
appears, by the London papers of Wednesday, that this ac-
count is an infamous hoax.]

LORD DUNCAN.—In 1803 or 1804, Lord Duncan, on his
journey from the north, stopped at the White Swan Inn,
Alnwick. A large crowd consequently assembled to behold
the hero of Camperdown. Among the multitude were two
compeers, the one of whom, addressing the other, said,
" George, have you any objection to treat the admiral to a
glass of wine ? " " None whatever, John." The two wor-
thies accordingly, having entered the inn, and ordered a
bottle of wine, sent a message that two patriarchs (patriots)
of Alnwick were desirous of paying their respects to Lord
Duncan. His lordship at once acceded to the desired inter-
view—received the patriarchs with much urbanity, and hav-
ing drank their health, said, I am sent by government to oc-
py an important command. Should the fleet under me meet
one of the enemy, I hope to do something that shall cause my
countrymen to speak of me." " Had you not done so al-
ready, we should not have been here, my lord, to compli-
ment you." The noble veteran, with a moistened eve, put
his hand upon his breast and bowed. Chesterfield, with alri
his artificial rules, could not have produced such a compli-
ment as sprung from the honest clogger.

INCREASE OF RAILWAY TRAFFIC.—At the late meetsmi-;
meeting of the York and North Midland Railway, the chair-
man observed, that in their application to parliament they
estimated the annual number of passengers due to their own
line, at from 120,000 to 130,000, and the number they caleu-
lated on, when all the connecting lines were completed,
would amount to about 260,000 ; but, in the present year,
which was an imperfect one as the Great North of England
and the Manchester and Leeds were not opened until March.„
the number carried would reach to about 400,000, or 130,000
more than had been anticipated. Many such facts as these
are recorded of the actual over the estimated traffic. Chit':
nally, the cost of working the lines was stated to be 50:pet •
cent., but there are those which work for 40 and under ;: and ,
as machinery improves, and they get better acquainted wit d
the requirements of the respectfve traffics, we have no dol3 of
the expense may be reduced to a third, or perhaps le is.
Should this ever be accomplished, it is highly probable. oat
every line in the kingdom will pay a good dividend and
hence we should recommend to parties to be exceedy ugly
cautious how they rashly abandon their property.—Rail way
