H. FRXWZX ow FOXIXINTLXO ix Lincesnut tortan—Mr. Frewen has sent to a Leicester newspaper a characteristic letter on the subject of foxhunting. He lasing by giving an account of the ancestry of the an cient Nimrod. " You have," he says, • • correspondent who signs himself 'Nimrod.' It is, indeed, assuming a fine old name. He, Nimrod, was the son of Cush, who was the eon of Ham, one of the sons of Nosh. He was the first King of Babel at the time of the confusion of tongues, and appears to have exerted himself to rid the country of wild beasts that infested that part occofu pa the world at the time be lived—a very useful - tion and rather a different one to that of your correspondent at Milton." He then refers to Nimrod's complaint respecting the scarcity of foxes, but hints at the cause by observing that "if the tenant farmers are to be treated in the way they have been hy the fox hunters, some coverts to the booth and east of MOM will very often be drawn blank. It tenants are to have their wheat ridden over by scores of horsemen, their gates and fences broken down, their lambs worried by foxes by wholesale, and their fowls carried off, and to receive no compensation for it, how are they over to to pay their rents, even though it mart l i; be asked for once a year 'r" And Mr. Yreweu pee on to say that "there are two farmers who live near Cold Overton whose landlords live a long way off, but they have each told their tenants to keep the hunters off their farms if they can, and I believe they have now both served Mr. Tailby with notices not to trespass. One of these men put his ewes last March in a field where he thought the hunters were nut likely to come, but they rode into this held one day, and when be endeavoured to stop them at the gate he was violently assaulted, and Ids gate broken down. The other gut • cut across the shoulders from a bunting whip last season, and if he bad got hold of the gentleman (F . ) who did it he would very soon have un horsed him. A third who resides in another parish very civilly asked the hunters one day nut to ride over his turnips, as there was • fallow place up the field where they could go. The answer he got was, 'Oh d— your temps,' and they went over the field and cut them all to pieces. Now if the farmers resort to the expedient of putting an iron wire in their fences, the foxhunters must not be surprised at it." NAVAL AND MILITARY. - - TIII BOARD OP ADMIRALTY.—The //sided Berrie Gazette says the following is reported to be the list of the new Board:—Mr. Childers, Find Lord; Vice. Admiral Sir Sydney Decree, K.C.8., First Sea Lord ; Vice- Admiial Sir Robert Spencer Robinson, K.C.8., Mar- Admiral Hastings R. Yelverron, C.B. The Junior Civil Lord will it is said. be Mr. Gregory, member for Galway. Captain F. B. P. Seymour, C. 8., is spoken of as the First Leas Private Secretary ; and Mr . Shaw Lefovre as Secretary of the Admiralty, in place of Lord Henry Lennox. It is rumoured that the new First Lord contemplates effecting radical changes in the Admi ralty and throughout the service. The Army Nary Gi,:rtte confirms the latter statement. Mr. Childers will, it is said, take much more active part in the dis charge of the general duties of the Mhos than any other previous first lord ever undertook. It is rumouured that Sir Sydney Decree is to have increased power as senior first lord ; that Sir R. S. Robinson, the Controller of the Navy, in to bare a seat at the board, and that Lord John Hay has been also offered the post of " civil " member. These alterations will throw greater responsibility on Mr. Reed, the chief constructor of the navy. THE ROYAL II:MINIM AND ROYAL MARLYS ARTILLRRT. —The Dalai Serrini Gaulle states that so great is the scarcity of Marines, that out of 1,100 forming one of the divisions, not more than 20 have passed in their gun drill and rifle practice, and that on board the ships at home ports there are hundreds of marines who have never passed their gun drill. An order in council now lies ready for the royal signature putting on half-pay, and otherwise reducing 3 field officers, 1G captains, and a proportionate number of subalterns. In addition to this, the Marine Depot at Deal is to be abolished, and it is also said that Eastney Barracks are to be taken from the Royal Marine Artillery and appropriated to exclusively naval purposes. A WAS LORD or THE TREASIIRT.—The Army nor! Nary Gazette says it is understood that one of the new appointments in Mr. Gladstone's government will be a War - Lord 01 On Trefillury, who, in communication with the board of which he will devote 111 1 2 , 0 1 i to supervision of our whole military administration, eve tastily as relates to finance. It is said that Captain ivian, M.P., will fill this place in the first inst.uice. Another rumour is that Mr. Gladstone proposes an imme diate amalgamation of the War-office and - Hem Guards, and that the Duke of Cambridge and his immediate staff will move up to Pall-mall without delay. The death of Field-Marshal Sir Hew Ross leaves vacant the desirable post of Lioutenant-Govornor of Chelsea Hospital. WEATHER =POIC.-(THIS DAY.) BATVIDAT. Ihc. 1!, 8 ♦.a. V I t Om, iB. .

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE THAMES AA B ANIMS.NT. About 12 o'clock last night an accident of a Very serious character occurred at that portion of the works of the Thames Embankment between the Temple-gardens end Blackfriers-bridge. This portion is technically known as "No. 3 contract," and the works were commenced in the same way as the now completed portions. Hugepiles had been driven intothebed of the river, at the requisite distance from the shore, fur the purpose of excavating the foun dations. The whole length of the "contract ' had been piled and made watertight, and one hundred men were at work within the wooden wall. In order to complete the work within the given time, it was necessary to employ two sets of labourers, and the nig tmen were_ just re coming work when the accident . The first alarm was given by a man whose barge was lying moored off the Whitefriars Wharf. He had been on shore having supper, and ou returning to get on board was very much &Limed by the troubled state of the water. A very strong wind had brought up an immense tide, and the roll of the wave, was such as to shake the stout piles, and bend them like reeds. The man at once gave an alarm. It happened that about 30 men who had been at work puddling had only a minute or so before left their work to take supper. The other men were at work, and, hear ing the piles cracking, and knowing the great height of the tide, they rushed to the sluices, in the hope that by letting in the water that way they might 'amen the danger that threatened the works. Cnfortunately they were not able to effect their purpose. Those of the night men who remained in the trench hastily scrambled out, and at the MUM muiuent the water broke through the piles, which snapped asunder with a loud report. In an instant the whole trench was filled throughout its entire length, and an immense amount of damage done to the works. The large timber piles floated about the river, and =tied considerable alarm amongst the boatmen. All the floating stagings were destroyed, and also a wooden bridge used fur the purpose of filling the large bergamot the scavenging contractors. One of the engines used in the driving of the piles was thrown down and sank. As soon as the accident occurred, a rumour was spread that all the workmen were in the river ; but beyond a good wetting, in a few instances, it is believed that no man has received any injury. LATER PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.) At daylight this morning the work of destruction was fully reali-ed ; and from the Grand Junction Wharf, Barraud's Wharf, Whitefriars Dock, and other points the la sh rortgii Wll B Witneaseet by hundreds of persons. Im mediately in !Toni, of the Grand Junction lirliarf the whole Of the huge piles, staging!, &e., have been washed completely away, and in all directions were Boating piles, fragments of timber, &c. Not a ve-tige of the tramway b ru belonging to the Commissioners of twere remains, and the damaging effects of the un looked-for calamity were apparent in all parts of the con tract. Considering the great power employed in the construction of the works the accident is sur prising to the contractors and other officials; and tho delay that must necessarily take place during the repairs is estimated at between three and four weeks. At the time of the occurrence the wind was blowing violently, and the force of the water—the tide being three feet above Trinity high water mark—was such as to make an inroad to the coke cellars belonging to the City Gas Works, and causing the nnu employed there to make ahasty retreat. The late Lord Chancellor, before goiug out of office, issued an order closing ell the county court offices on Saturday, the day after Christmas Day, and on the following Monday, thus giving the officials four clear days vacation. A movement is on foot to get the principal City houses to close the same days. That nobody can lose Libe ta arrangement ought to be a sufficient reason for its on wherever practicable.—South Loudon Press. R. Mlle= • CONVERT TO &MUSH JUSTICE. —At a dinner given in Balling to commemorate the unop- posed return of Mr. G. H. Moore for the county of Mayo, Archbishop WHAM observed that since 1852, when the party of " Independent opposition " was founded, there has been no " uprising of the people " to compare with that of the recent elections. "To what strange conjunction of the stars of Ireland's destiny added Dr. " astrologers might tram this vigorous uprising, I leave entirely to tho adepts in thut curious and occult science. But for us catholic' - being utterly unskilled in the black art and its kindred branches of necromancy—we should he disposed rather to trace these recent wonders to the collision of rival and powerful bodies, which never occurs without • disturbing influence on the political atmosphere." Whether they were yet come to the eventful period predicted by the ancient seers under the same of " Cogiia da Gall," or the War of the Two Hostile Strangers, he (Dr. M'Hale) did not know, but for their triumphs, •43 far, they were " greatly indebted to the growing intelligence of the English people, who bed broken the dark lantern by which they had been groping, and were now [beginning to milk in the broad effiilgence of the sun of Heaven." MIreICAL AND DRAMATIC aossio.—Mr. Barney Williarne, an American actor, who played for Wine time in England low comedy Irishmen, has bought from Mr. John Brougham a drama, entitled TA* Emerald Eiog, which is now in rehearsal at the Broadway Theatre, New Yolk. The sum paid for this drama, 2,000 dollars, is 'Rid to be the largest hitherto given in Aineric, fur any American drama. Signor Verdi is said to be at moth on a " Romeo and Juliet." It is to be given at 14$. Petersburg in the season of 1569-70, with Mad ime Patti. The monument to the memory of Ponsard has been designed by M. Viollet-Leduc. It is to consist of a brows statue to be erected in front of the Hotel de Vino, in the drarrmt.ses birthplace. Vienne (Isi , re). More than its estimated cost, 26A0fr., has already been contributed.
