Accident to the Prince of Wales.

From-the London Times. July attn.
An accident, of which the consequences
might have been very serious, happened
to the Prince of Wales on Rotten-row
about II o'clock yesterday afternoon.
His Royal Highness, who was riding at
foots pace with one of his equerries
and two ladies, had just reached the ex-
treme end of the Row, nearest TO Queens
gate, and was in the act of turning, when
a gentleman, who seemed to have lost
ali control over his horse, suddenly
dashed at full speed down the incline
road and into the very midst OF the
party. The Princes horse being right
in the path of the charging horseman,
and receiving the shock on its. flank or
shoulder, was instantly knocked down
turning over like rabbit struck by a
shot, apparently rolling upon its rider
while the intruder passed clear over both.
For moment it seemed impossible that
the Prince could escape without injury
to life or, limb from the struggles Of has
own horse He disengaged HIMSELF how
ever, and got up without assistance,
though at first he looked somewhat sha
ken, and as if suffering from blow on
the head Recovering almost immedi-
ately, and never losing his seli-possession
for moment he seated himself on a
bench close by, while his horse was be-
ing caught, aud his hat aud cane picked
up by the bystanders Long before any
great crowd of equestrians had time 10
collect, he had mounted again, and re-

not without some visible traces of the
fall on his face and dress. 1t was alto
gether very narrow escape, as the few
who Witnessed il can testify, and the
Princes composure in a very trying po-
sition does great credit to his presence OF
mind and good humor. If not quite un-
hurt he may well congratulate himself as
having come of with nothing more than
few bruises from collision that nigh
easily have proved fatal

How a Qusea Travels,

Queen Victoria left Windsor Castle on
10th inst for what she calls her home in
the Highlands Of Scotland. She was ac-
companied by their Royal Highnesses
the Princesses Helena, Louisa, Beatrice
and Prince Leopold, attended by Lieut..
Gen. Grey, Lord Charles Fitzroy, and
the Dutches of Athole. The Court Jour.
nal says: ''As the railway journey Of
$50 and one half miles would occupy the
entire night and a great portion of
to-day, much attention was be-
slowed upon the arrangement OF
the saloons and their position in
the train. The Royal-oceupied by her
Majesty and Princess Helena--was the
seventh carriage from the engine, and
behind il were four double saloons,
carriage truck with the Queen fourgon,
and a break van. The saloon IN the
rear Of her Majesty conveyed DR. Brown
and Mr.. Sahl in one compartment, the
other section being occupied BY the
Duchess Of Athole and the Hon Miss
f. Catheart Her Majesty's Ministers,
General Carey and Lord Charles Fitz
roy, hal the use of the third saloon, num-
Der four and five being reserved for
Prince Leopoll and the Railway officials.
In the fore part Of the train
there was double saloon, used BY Prin-
cess Louisa and governess, and the
Queens dressels, the carriage being next
to her Majesty's, while, the adjoining
single saloon had for its occupants
Princess Beatrice and her Royal High
lnesss governess and maid. Three
first-class carriages were assigned to the
royal dressers, ladies, maids, pages, up

about forty years of age, tall and erect,
with a powerful frame. He wears long

cast the peculiar look and acting Of a
monomaniac.
Ten years ago Mr. Free was thriving
business man. He WAS considered a
man of more than ordinary literary at
tainments, possessing a strong intellect
and considerable talent About the year
1855 he was doing business in California
and brooding over extensive losses, on

Beecher on the War in Europe.

Yesterday morning, Mr.. Beecher, TAX
ing for his text Isaiah xxxii, 18th and
18th verses, took occasion to make few
remarks on the war at present raging in
Europe. He said Two thieves 90 out
TO rob a roost; when they have done
their work they quarrel over the hens
robbed. In the present struggle he went
with the Italians; next to them with the
Austrian Government, He thought the
Prussian Government was least deserv-
ing of sympathy, though he sympathized
with the people of Prussia more than
with those of Austria. He said it was
exceedingly disagreeable to have to agree
with all three at once Though this war
had for its stated object but the partition
of a small territory, its ultimate result
would be truly great the advancement
of the cause of human liberty. For the
last fifty years Europe had been inevits-
bly yerging towaN this, and more partic-
ularly during the lasi twenty-hye years.
The Russian peasantry were being freed
from their bondage. In France, though
under the heel of despctism, the people
had more true liberty than they ever
before enjoyed.
Before the French Revolution every
law, from the great laws of the realm to
the smallest ones Of village, was a

A Sad story of Business Embarrassmsnts

From the Cincinnati Gazette. July Ill
At halfpast ten o'clock Yesterday
mo ming, Mr.. Thomas j. Warren, favor
ably known to quite number of our
business men, walked down Vine street
and on board the Covington ferryboat
Queen City. Speaking courteously to
the collector, he asked to be passed free,
as he had no money, which was granted.
When in the middle Of the river, on the
way over to Cevington, he laid down his
hat, deposited therein his pocketbook
and n letter addressed to his wife and
two children, and sprang into the river.
The boat was stopped, and the yawl put
out 10 try to save him He sank and
rose two or three times. The last time
his head was seen it was thought he
turned towards the yawl that was ap,
preaching him, and seeing it, drew his
face under water Nothing further has
vet been seen Of his body .4.fe
X The captain of the boat took his hat :,
pocket-book and letter up TO the Gait
House, where he and his family had been
boarding. There it was learned the
whole family had left the preceding
morning, leaving their trunks in the bag

were found in the pocket-book 1t is
presumed Mrs Warren and the children
were sent to Columbus, o. where her

New Order in the Episcopal Church.

Ii is fully two years since new reli-
gious order called the Protestant Epis-
copal Sisterhood of St Mary, was es-
tahlished in New York, under the au-
spices of the Right Rev Bishop Potter
and some of the leading clergy OF the
diocese, and yet very little is known Of
the organization and the character OF the
work assigned them. According to one
Of the journals of the church its mem
bers are required to devote themselves
exclusively TO works of mercy, by attend
ing the sick, aiding the poor, and dissem-
mating Christian instruction among the
young. The membership is composed OF
unmarried ladies or widows over thirty.
Admission to membership is granted on
promise to continue their plous labors
until either the urgent necessities OF their
kindred or some special Providence calls
them from their sphere of duty In such
cases the Bishop was empowered to re-
lease them from their obligations, There
are number of sisters in the society,
and others on probation.
Recently a lady who had been a can
didate for admission into the Ssterhood
for some time, was admitted with impos-
ing ceremonies Bishop Potter prepared
service especially for the occasion.
Quite a number of distinguished minis
tiers were present and near the altar.
The members of the Sisterhood were
present, sttired in the black habit of the
order, which resembles that of the Cath
olic Sisters of Charity.
After singing the hymn of Whitsun-
tide, closing with the Gloria Patria, the
Bishop offered few words Of exhortation
to the lady, relating to the work, closing
with the inquiry if she would devote her.

mercy in the Slsterhood of st. Mary, and
