The most reckless man of the day—of course we mean

the Marquis of Waterford—has just had rather a bad accident. In an annual steeple-chase near Dublin, on Wednesday, he fell from his favourite mare Columbine, and the beast rolled over him. He was picked up in a swoon, but he soon recovered. The mischance to the popular resident landlord excited much sympathy in the crowd. It is to be hoped that it will not interfere with the Marquis's matrimonial projects ; for it is said that he is about to marry the Honourable Miss Louisa Stuart, the daughter of Lord de Rothesay ; only awaiting the consent of the father, which has to be sent for from St. Petersburg.
