CHRONICLE. 
ave way, the arch fell in, and, 
melancholy to relate, killed eight 
men, and very materially wounded 
two others. What renders this 
circumstance still more distressing is, 
several of the unfortunate sufferers 
have left very large families. A 
comfortable provision has been made 
by the board of ordnance for the 
widows and orphans. The widows 
to be allowed one shilling per day, 
as long as they shall continue un- 
married, and an allowance of six- 
pence per day to be granted to each 
of the children, to be continucd 
until they respectively arrive at the 
age of 18 years. 
2nd. At Brompten, in Kent, in 
consequence of the frames employ- 
ed in turning the arehes of a maga- 
zine building there being removed, 
_ before the work was sufficiently dry, 
the building gave way. ‘fen work- 
"men were buried in the ruins, of 
whom six have been dug out life- 
less, and it is feared that the others 
have shared the same fate. The 
arches are supposed to have con- 
tained 60,000 bricks. 
It is with great concern we have 
to state the following melancholy 
accident. Her royal highness the 
Princess of Wales was this afternoon 
-on her way to the seat of Mi. 
Locke, at Norbury Park, near 
Leatherhead,Surrey, in a barouche, 
attended by Lady Sheffield and Miss 
Hiarrict Mary Cholmondeley, and 
wasdriven by her royal highness’s 
“ownservants. On their arrival at 
Sutton, they took post horses, and 
were driven by the post-boys belong- 
ing to the cock inn. — Her royal 
highness’s horses and servants were 
left to refresh in order to take her 
home that evening. Her royal 
highness proceeded to Leatherhead, 
when on turning a sharp eorner to 
‘extreme caution, 
447 
get into the road which leads to 
Norbury Park, the carriage was 
overturned, opposite to a large tree, 
against which Miss Cholmondeley 
was thrown with such violence, as 
to be killed on the spot. She was 
sitting on the front seat of the ba- 
rouche alone. Her royal highness 
and Lady Sheffield occupied the 
back seat, aud were thrown out to- 
gether. ‘They went into the Swan 
inn, at Leatherhead. Sir Lueas 
Pepys, who lives in that neighbour- 
hood, and had not left Leatherhead 
(where he had been to visit a pati- 
ent) more than a quarter of an hour, 
was immediately followed, and 
brought back; and a servant was 
sent to Mr. Locke’s, with an ac. 
count of the accident. Mrs. L, 
arrived in her Carriage with allex- 
pedition, and conduéted the princess 
to Nerbury Park, where Sir Lucas 
Pepys attended her royal highness 
and, as no surgeon was at hand, 
bled her himself. On the following 
day the princess returned to Black- 
heath. Her royal highness receiy- 
ed no other iijury than a_ slight 
cut on her nose, and a bruise on one 
of her arms. Lady Sheffield (wife 
of Lord Sheffield, who was with her, 
did not receive the slightest injury. 
—An inguest was held on the 4th, 
before ©. Jemmet, esq. coroner 
for Surrey, on the body of Miss 
Cholmondeley, at the Swan inn 
Leatherhead. It appeared, by the 
evidence of a Mr. Jarrat at Leather- 
head, and of an hostler belonging 
to the inn, that the princess’s carri- 
age, drawn by four horses, with 
two postilions, while turning round 
a very acute angle of the road, was 
overturned. ‘he drivers, through 
had taken too 
great a sweep in turning the corner, 
Which brought the carriage on the
