Messengers were uuntediately dispatched to London for ntedical and surgical assist- Alice, and we are sorry to learn that the ball, which is lodged in toe head, cannot be extracted. At the time the sad accident took place, neither the report or the flash sif fire arms were heard or seen; btu an itutnediats inquiry was instituted, when it was discovered that two respectable young gentlemen, named Hawes. were amusing theinseh es in a garden in Palmer's Terrace, by firma with a small pock •t pistol at a target; on the g ttttt lid being measured irons where they stood to the window, the distance proved to be 200 yards. On Mon day the friends of the young lady applied at the Police office, Hatton Garden, for a warrant against the two young gentlemen, and on Wednesday they were brought before tile sitting magistrate in the custody of Wallas's Read, jun.; Lint as the young lady is not dead. and as they at present cannot be charged with tuanslationer, nor with maliciously And feloniously firing whit linen! to kill, or do sonic bodily harm, they were permitted to • give bail to answer the charge, themselves in 2001. each, sod four sureties in Whi. each.
