THE ICE ACCIDENT IN LONDON/ The following incidents of the terrible accident are selected from various sources, and may not prove uninteresting On Saturday and Sunday, and following days, the process of searching the ornamental water in the Regent's Park continued, and, judging from the number of spectators present, especially on Sunday aftemocn, the late calamity must have excil •<! ve-y ■mdc t,pread interest. Every position from which a View of the operations upon the lake could be gained was crowded with lookers-on, who, in reaching the islands and other proisinent points, betrayed their usual indifference to risk. The police and icemen warned them as long as warning seemed of the slightest avail, and then lay by for a time and waited the result. Those who had reached solid ground there was little use in disturbing, but hundreds of men fn skatin? arfr?11wib,h quietly looking on, engaged in skatmg and sliding close to the points where the L.? ere at work and the ice was actually being anc* pulled to shore. The secretary and erai members of the committee of the Humane ►society at once went upon the ice, and by dint of expostulations and remonstrances induced the ma- jority of those present to quit a position so full of danger. Numbers, however, chiefly lads, proved refractory, and had to be cleared off by a concerted movement of the police and park-keepers, who suc- ceeded for the remainder of the day in keeping the ice clear. In running off to avoid the keepers six lads fell in near the side, and their well-merited ducking obtained for them little commiseration from the spectators.
