A very unf0rtdnatc accident occurred in
this city Yesterday, As TIC Mail Stage from
3 ltim6re was about to descend the Capitol
Hill. the horses took fright at something or
other, and, the driver being unable to hold
them ia, they dashed down the road towards
the avenue, but were going too rapidly to be
turned into it. They ran across towards
Maryland Avenue, where the stage ran off
the road, upset, and was smashed literally to
atoms. 1levc were, we believe, six passcn-
gers besides the driver, most Of whom were
more or less injured, but some of them sew
ercly. The driver, Mr.. Bell, very wor-
thy man, is Supposed to have been most
hurt, having one Gf his arms broken, and
one OF his thighs fractured, besides other in-
jni'es. Hr. Halfway, Of Vermont, an c.-
tire stranger here, had his arm broken, and
was otherwise hurt. Mir Il. O. 1yler, of
this city, (who had the bad luck to have got
out at the door of lis own dwelling, but af-
towards remonnted to 90 down to his Of
flee was also mncf injured. The Messcn-
ger who has arrived from Colombia, with
the ratification by that Government of the
Treaty with the Uni,ed States, was also in
the stage, and slightly hurt. 1t is hoped
that none ofthe lives o. the hurt persons are
in danger.


Oftwo persons who escaped unhurt, one
hadbeen pursued by the other on ii charge
ofthcft, and when the accident happened,
was arrested and carried before nagis-
trate. by whom, we understand, he was com
mited to prison. National Iatellgener.
