PRINCESS'S NARROW ESCAPE.
♦ . ... .. NEARLY A FATALITY. On March 1, while the Princess Yourewski, a well-known winter resident of Nice, was out driving in the Fabroiv Quarter, where the late Queen Victoria frequently went for promenades, the horses took fright and ran away. One side of the road borders a precipice, and had the- carnage swerved to that side, nothing could fiave prevented a terrible fatality. Fortunately, says the Nice correspondent of the " Petit Parisien," the coachman did not lose his head, and succeeded in driving the terror-stricken: animals into a wood on the opposite side of the roadway, thus bringing the carriage to a standstill. The Princess and the coachman escaped with slight contusions.
