WHAT TIE PRINCESS DID.
The Princess was seen acknowledging with
enchanting grace the tumultuous cheers which
were bestowed upon her, mud which greeted
her from the SUBMITS Of the 1ofticst roofs, as
from the lamp-posts and curbstones Of the
route along which she was moving. She was
feen, too, to be constantly rising from her
seat, and, with her own hands, gently aud
tenderly raising the heads (nany of them
very rough and ragged ones) Of the individu-
als who, iammed By the intense and irrepress-
ible pressure Of thu tarong, against the royal
carriage, appeared to be In a fair way Of hay

SIX WOMEN TRAMPLED TO DEATH.
About quarter pastT o'clock there was .
F.! fearful crush in the mob in front Of the Man

men and women were described as appalling.
a number Of persons were trampled down,
and q considerable time elapsed before their
fate could be ascertained. The Lord Mayor
and Lady Mayoress witnessed the catastrophe
from the decorated balcony of the Mansion
| House, but nothing could be done, so great

man vas being conveyed to the Bow-lane Po-
lice Station, d child, - months old, was
been thrown into a cart at the Nanslon-house.
It proved to bo the child Of the poor woman.
How its life was saTed is miracle.
In the carrioge.Tay Of Mansion house place
the body Of awoman was found.evidently hay
ing metwith similar fate. Two young women
were found apparently dead near the same spot.
About two hours after the aburo occurrence,
frigbtfnl accident took place, from the pres

ripgdon street.
There are several parties lying in a dan
gerous 6ta.c at St. Bartholomew and Guy g
Hospitals, having been knocked down and
run over. The arrangements Of the city police
for the carriage traffic through the city appear
to have been disgraceful.
