Tho car?, it is said, did not; tome into contact. Tho down car, how-: ever, stopped so," suddenly, that tho con-, ductor. Porter, was either off, or jumpedt off, and fell on to tho stroot. Some ef thoij paisengers were thrown down on the near platform. Ono of theso was) Constable (McDonnell, who was thrown, forward by the sbsck on to tho iuoks of the horses, lie was shaken and bis orm hurt by the fcrake handlo. Porter, Jiowever, was so bruised that ho bocamo in ■somiblo. Dr. Purchos attended to him, and than ordered his removal homo in a cab. He is now able to resumo his duties.' JirD. Hyauinson, of Durham-street, states; that ho was the only passengor in front of tbe down car. 110 believos the driver wasi intoxicated and unfit for his duties. In pawing Richmond Rood tho car got off the' line and ran for somo diatanco oa tho road metal. On approaching tho toop at top of Hodson-Btreot, whoro he ehould wait to lot' thsnp ear pass, the driver whipped his horses and ran thorn at a crallop right past the loop, and collided with tho approaching car. Hyauisnn raw that a collision was tn- ' svitable, and triod to jump off, but was' thrown down on his face. Ho sus-i tolled no injury beyond * Bhnking.! One of tho horsos was knocked down in the' collision, but escaped vninjured. Thomas5 Lawlor, the driver ofjMio down car, is said, to be the smartest driver in the Company's employ. The police intend taking proceedings' Bgaiiufc T. J/iwler, driver of the down car.'
