ACCIDENTS, OFFENCES, c..I Accident at Windsor Palace.—About six o’clockI on Sunday evening the royal carriages were ordered out for a drive through the Great Park. The King, accom-I panied by the Marchioness of Cony ngham, drove off about I seven o’clock in the carriage which His Majesty usuallyI makes use of when taking the air. This carriage wasfollowed by an optn landau, in which were the Marquis of'I Conyngham, Lady Harriet Conyngham, Lady Frances I Paget, and Sir William Keppel; and on the dickey were 1 Sir Andrew Barnard and Sir Edmund Nagle.

A messenger was instantly sent on to inform his I Majesty of the accident* The messenger overtook the I royal carriage at Belvedere, and His Majesty immediately I returned to Cumberland Lodge, where he saw and condoled I with Sir Andrew, and aftewards joined the ladies at the I Royal Lodge.
