Accident to The Prince Of Wales.
An accident. Of which tho consequent
ces might have been very serious, hap
pened 10 tho Prince OF Wales in Rotten
row. about n quarter past one o'clock
yesterday afternoon. His Royal High
ness, who was riding at a foot's pace
with one Of his cqueriss and two ladios,
had just reached the extreme end Of the
row. nearest tho Queens Gate, was in
the net Of turning, when n gentleman
who seemed to have lost all control over
his horse, suddenly dashed at full speed
down The incline, and into the very midst
Of the party,
The Princes horse being right in tho
path Of the charging horsVman, and re-
c%eiving the shock en- its flank, or should>
er, was instantly knocked down, turning
over like a rabbit struck by a shot, and
adpu entity rolling upon its rider, whilo
the intruder passed cleAi over both. For
a moment il seemed impossible that the
Prince could escape without injury 10 life
or limb from the struggles Of his own
horse. lie disengaged himself. however.
and got up without assistance. though at
first ho looked somewhat shaken, and As
if suffering from II blow on the head.
Recovering almost instantly, and never
losing his sclf-possession for a moment,
he seated himself on a bench close by,
while the horse was being caught, and
his hat and cane picked up By the by

Of esquestrians had time 10 collect lie had
mounted again, and, rejoining the ladies
was riding homewOrd us if no thing had
occurred, but not without some visible
traces Of the cal! upon his face and dress.
1t was altogether q very narrow escape,
as the few who witnessed Il can testify,
aud the Princes composnrc in n very
trying position did great credit to his
presence Of mind and good humor. If
not quite unhurt, he may we'll congratu-
late himself on having como of with
nothing worse than a few bruises from n
collision that might cas- ily%"baye proved

Whether tho unfortunate author, or
agent Of the catastrophe has been idcnti-
fed, and whether any particular blanc
attaches 10 him, is more than We can say
It was natural, perhaps. that be should
appear dumbfounded at .hc time, and
should have exhibited far less nerve than

questions which are becoming very ur.
gent, and the marvel is, not That collisions
should now and then occur, but that thoy

be easier than to prevent gallopiug when
the row is th:oungcd, and still more,
galloping on the wrong side. Why
should not the park keepers take riders to
task for pross breaches of the condition
