The meeting then resolved that they should their continue to receive signatures); neat meeting Tuesday evening next, ' when they should hold presentation for making the a of the memo necessary arrangements for the entation t t ilousands of leir confidence rial. Numbers of the committees expressed many in the belief t hat u p to that evening stating were that ad ditional signatures wo uld be added. Communications m also received from St. Luke's, Chelsea, pari s h had determ ined to memorialise the Qugeenhat against the ride, and also from other parishes which had resolved on pursuing a similar course. STATE OF TRADE.-"'MANCHESTER, Aug. 10.—. The market continues depressed. A very fair amount of business has been done since Tuesday in cloths, s but at done the lowest rates. Of this b usiness a fair amount ha been in skirtings for India, and in other cloths suitable for that market, but only where sellers have been willing tot a com de - pete for it at the lowe st p rices, in some cases cloths, and a sha under the rates of Tuesday. In long-cloths, T- Printers there has been a demand, but on the same condi tions. The total sales, however, have been of fair amount. Yarns are also against producers, and fully id. per lb. lower than last week. Low counts a re relatively the best, and hard twist is scarce. L IVERPO OL VOLUNTEERS IN CAMP.—For nearly a fortnight past the Ist Battalion of Liverpool Volunteer Rifles, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bousefield, have been out in camp on the Blundell Sands, at Crosby, abo u t six miles north from Liverpool. Notwithstanding the 'inclemency of the recently very stormy weather this gallant band of Volunteers continue to occupy its quarters among the sandhills at the place named, and there the regulations of military cam p life are stric tly obse rved. IVorning and evening drill, outpost duty, and the other pre cautionary measures of martial field duty are stric ly and regularly p r actised. The men seem to thri ve and enjoy themselves amazingly " under canvas. In the matter of defences we are unjust to Napo mperoe loon—very unjust to ourselves. Our security lies in our own. state of preparation, not in the French want of it. lie is perfectly right when he says that his army. and his fleet, are not more numerous than they were during the days of the monarchy ; i t althougt is one thing When a rifle is in the hands of a rifleman, te when it is in the clumsy grasp . of a grocer. 'pp ruler of France, exposed, as he always rs, to the than as of a collision with the great military monarchies of the Continent, must keep a considerable army a-foot. We cannot blame him for this. As long as France was g d overne by a Parliament and in a constitutional way, this gave us no cause for alarm ; but now things are changed. One man, alone, can restrain that army within its camps and cantonments, or let it loose upon the world ; therefore we must be prepared, —Once a WefAri LINES LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. Railways.

DISTURBANCE IN THE ADELPHI THEA' eFtE.k--Two men named Ballard and Frampton were ph teed at the bar charged with creating a disturbance in the £delphi Theatre last night. Police-constable 581 A said, in the early part of last even ing he was on duty in the Adelphi Theatr e, and was called upon to quell a disturbance in the gallery. On proceeding to that part of the house he found the two t lefendants quar relling with some other persons about their • Beats. He told them they must not interrupt the performs ace, and that if they did not remain quiet he should remove ,them. Framp ton told him they had come to the Theatre I ;o amuse them selves, and they should do whatever thep• 'pleased. The disturbance continued so much that the p et formance was interrupted, and then in consequence of low 1. , cries of " Turn him out," he attempted to remove the two ,men. Ballard did not offer so much resistance as Fran tp ton, but after some difficulty both were taken out of the . gallery, when Frampton commenced fighting. Assistanc e had to be ob tained to convey him to the station, but Bal li trd offered no resistance. Both of the men were drunk. Ballard—You never put me out at all ; I ( tree out. Policeman—That is not true. I got yoi t out first, and then I went back for Frampton. Mr. Henry (to the prisoner) —Were you di i ink or sober Ballard—Well, I was not drunk. Frampton—Neither was I. I certainly ha at been having a drop, but not enough to take effect on me. Mr. Henry—Then neither of you were e' ither drunk or sober. Is that so ? Ballard—l was certainly iot drunk, but I had had some thing, so I can't say I was sober. The p cliceman talks about taking me into custody. Why, I w sf 3 never taken into custody at all until I was standing opposite the station-house door in Bow-street, when one.:.of the police men lugged me in. _ _ Frampton—When we went into the thee ttre with some female relatives and friends last night we fc rand the place quite full. We then began talking about going to some other part of the house or else trying to get our money back, when some one said, " Turn him out ;." With that the policeman came in and violently dragg ed. me out and pushed me down stairs, in doing which T. received very great injury. The policeman says I struck bim ; now, as I can show the marks where he struck me, T 83 iould like him to show his marks. Mr. Henry—lt is very annoying for hundreds of re spectable persons to be disturbed by drunken people. Frampton—Well, but we were not drunk. Mr. Henry—Both of you admit that you w ere not sober. It is always a very difficult thing to convinc e a man next morning that he was tipsy the night before. Frampton—l was not drunk. The policeman says I in terrupted and stopped the performance. Now, I refer to Mr. Webster whether the play was stopped. I never did any such thing. The house was full, an d I wanted to get a place where I could see, or else get my money back. Mr. Henry—l know very well drunken people don't often converse in a low tone of voice. There cannot be a doubt that the respectable part of the audien co was very much disturbed, but as I find Ballard did no t strike the officer in the execution of his duty I shall only fine him ss. for being drunk. Frampton must pay 20s. for. creating the disturbance and striking the officer. The fines were paid. STEALING FRUIT.—Two costermongers, n amed Lomas and Martin, were placed at the bar charged w ith stealing a sieve of currants from Mr. Almond, a salosma u in Covent garden. Market. Dalton, one of the regular market porters, said the loss the salesmen sustained by'robberies on marlrot mornings was enormous. The dishonest part of 'the costermengers came there and stole the fruit, by which. means they were enabled to undersell every other poor fellow trying to get an honest living. Mr. Henry (to the prisoners)—What du you do ? Lomas—Sell fruit. Mr. Henry—And you come to the market to steal it. I must try and stop this system of robbery. I. commit you both to prison for three months, with hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AREA SNEA/C.—THE MUFFIN DO3DGE.—James Manson, a young man, describing himself •es a general dealer, was charged before Mr. Beadon, with attempting to gain admittance to the area of the house of Dir.. Billing, 6, Grosvenor-gate, by means of a false key. Wm. Sere, footman to Dr. Billing, said that about half past 10 this morning, he saw, from the first floor window, the prisoner trying to open the area gate with a key. The prisoner then walked to the gate of the houses of Sir John Fisher and then back to the doctor's gate, when, cautiously opening the street-door, he stepped out and sc cured him. The prisoner said he was a general dealer, and went to kitchens to buy the bottles andkitchenstuff. Be denied all knowledge of the key. A basket was here produced containing a large piece of green baize, which Inspector Webb said was intended to repreFent a muffin basket, this being found a readier means to get admission to kitchens than many others. Mr. Beadon said ho should remand the prisoner for a few days for further inquiries. BRITISH MINES. Share , Mines. jAI trel Consols (Phllack) 20 ißritish Iron Clifford 'Devon G. Cons.

A MADMAN.—John Willi ams, a tall, dark, and melancholy-looking man, aged 22, d essribed as having no home nor occupation, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with hurling a stone at the mitldle window in the shop of Mr. Falkard, pawnbroker and salesman, Commercial road East. The prisoner said he did not break the window exactly on purpose ; a sudden fit came over him. Mr. Selfe—You are either a fool or a madman. Mr. Hebditch, assistant to Mr. Felker d, said the pane of plate glass that was broken was worth 2 35., and insured in the Plate Glass Insurance Company. The breaking of the glass caused great inconvenience. There was valuable property in the window, and he was compelled to remove it immediately to prevent the depredatiorts of the numerous thieves that collected. Selfe said the prisoner was an ill-c.londitioned man to imprisomnent. destroy other people's property, and, in. default of paying `WANTED.—John Clark, of 1 ' Essex, labourer, was brought 2 H O i s Ag . , High Birch, sentenced corN uRe aFr himFOR t o O t g O hc t d oo a An yf before Mr. Selfe charged with being in the unlawful pos session of a now black frock coat, supp osed to have been stolen.

The coat was worth 10s. He told the prisoner 10 should send for a police-constable, and the fellow then ran out of the shop. He pursued him, and overtook him.

THE EAST INDIA CIVIL SERVICE.—Dr. Win chester, Medical Storekeeper at Bombay, has obtained a medical certificate to proceed to England for 15 months, with the intention, it is understood, of eventually resigning the service. Dr. Giraud, officiating surgeon to the governor, will, it is believed, succeed to the medical storekeepership. Dr. Haines, acting professor of chemistry, will probably succeed to Dr. Giraud's chair in the Grant College. The GOvernor-General of India has decided that officers in civil employment who were compelled to leave their sta tions on the breaking out of the mutiny shall receive their salaries in full, without deduction, from the time they were driven sway.—Cirt7 AFervice TION IN DEVONSHIRE. The Conservatives of South Devon organised a demonstration in honour of Lord Churston on Wednesday afternoon, at Newton Abbot. A grand banquet was held in a spacious marquee erected for the purpose in a place called Fairfield, upvvards• of 700 ladies and gentlemen being present. A magnificent shield, made of Devonshire silver, WP.S afterwards presented to Lord Churston by Lady Rolle. The subjects on the shield were 'designed by Messrs. Ellis Brothers, of Exeter, who were entrusted with the order, and the work was executed by Messrs. Elkington and Co., of Bir mingham. The shield is a very beautiful work of art, in the Renaissance style, and divided into five compartments, illustrating justice, commerce, agri culture, the fine arts, and the landing of William 111. at Torbay. The frieze contains faithfully executed portraits of Devonshire worthies Sir Francis Drake, Sir Joshua Reynolds, the first Lord Exmouth, and Sir William Follett. The shield is 3 feet 3 inches in diameter, weighs 500 ounces, and bears the following inscription : " Presented to the Right Hon. John Baron Churston, of Churston Forrers, by his former constituents of the southern division of the county of Devon, as a grateful record of his services as their representative in Parliament for a quarter of a century." Among the company at the banquet were the Earl of Devon, Lady Rolle, Sir John Duckworth and Lady Duckworth, Sir L. V, Palk, M.P., and Lady Palk, Sir J. L. Duntze, Sir E. S. Prideaux, Mr. Kekewich. M.P., and Mrs. Lekewkch. Mr. Monro, a county magistrate, presided, and the vice chair was occupied by Lord Courtenay. A letter was read from the Earl of - Derby, in which his Lordship said : " I have to express my regret that, with every wish to join in any mark of respect and regard to Lord Churston, it will be impossible for me to attend the ceremony on the the Bth of August." Letters regretting their inability to attend had also been received by the secretary (Mr. Flamank) from the Duke of Cleveland, the Duke of Northumber land, Viscount Exmouth, the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, Lord Chelmsford, Lord John Manners, Lord Valletort, the Right Hon. B. Disraeli, Sir Bulwer Lytton, the Right Hon. M. Mowbray, Sir M. Lopes, the Hon. C. R. Trefusis, &c. The usual loyal and patriotic toasts were cor dially drunk. The CHAIRMAN, in the name of Lady Rolle, pre sented Lord Chursti with the testimonial, and highly eulogised the noble lord for his consistent Conservative character and for the zealous manner in which he had fought Conservative battles. Lord CHURSTON, in responding, expressed a hope that Conservative feeling would never die away or fall in the country, and in looking before him at that great assembly, he had an earnest that it never would. (Cheers.) Recurring to his early connec tion with South Devon as one of its representatives his lordship said he had found that he was able to give an honest, independent, and cordial support to the Conservative party, which just at that time rallied round the great Sir Robert Peel, because he felt that their object was to sustain the Crown in all its proper dignity and power. He four d himself able, also at the time to which he referred, to give his hearty support to the Church of England which he found was venerated by the people, high and low, rich and poor. The Conservative party had always stood by the Church, and were determined to keep as far as they could those funds and those resources which belonged to it for its maintenance and sup port. (Cheers.) They were adverse, and rightly so, to the introduction of the Voluntary principle— a principle which, he believed, in many parishes of the country would end in the demolition of the Church. (Hear, hear.) " The health of the Earl of Derby and the House of Lords" was drunk with great cordiality, and was responded to by the Earl of Devon, who de nied that the House of Lords was, as had been alleged by some, an exclusive and selfish body. It was as anxious for the welfare and prosperity of the country as any other class of men in the king• dom. Of the Earl of Derby he said he knew of no man who was more qualified to be the leader of a great party than the noble lord. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next proposed " The health of the Conservative Members for the Southern Division of Devonshire." Sir L. V. PALK responded, and briefly reviewed the present session of Parliament. At the com mencement Mr. Gladstone found the country in tolerably easy circumstances, and without any probability of financial distress. Such a state of things was not, however, to be borne by a Chancel lor of the Exchequer, and so he negotiated a treaty to enable him to take off duties, which could easily have been done without a treaty. (Cheers.) After the Whitsun holiday, the House of Lords threw out the paper duty, and a great national convulsion was prophesied, which, however, did not take place, and he was happy to say that £2,000,000 a year had been saved to the country. (Cheers.) Mr. KEKEWICH also responded to the toast. " The health of the Volunteers of England" was responded to by Sir E. S. PRIDEAUX, Lieutenant- Colonel of the Exeter and South Devon Rifle Corps. Other toasts of a local character were then given, and the company separated early in the evening. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

HER MAJESTY AT THE SCOTCH REVIEW.—An additional evidence of the courtesy and consideration with which the Queen tempers even her virtue of punctuality was exhibited at the volunteer review on Tuesday.

Tatham ; Cornwallis, 60, Capt. George G. Randolph; Edin burgh, 60, Capt. Edwin C. T. D'Eyneourt ; Hawke, 60, Capt. William Crispin ; Hogue, 60, Capt. Re- ginald S. J. G. Macdonald ; Russell, 60, Capt. George Wodehouse ; Ajax, 60, Capt. John M. N. Boyd ; and the screw steam-frigate Dauntless, 31, Capt. Leopold G. Heath, C. 8., after being duly inspected, as previously announced, by Admiral Eden and Capt. Frederick, two of the Lords of the Admiraly, left Portland harbour on Wednesday and Thursday for their respective stations. The Colossus, 80, Capt. F. Scott, C. 8., still bearing the flag of Commodore Yelverton, remains at anchor in that harbour, but is expected to leave for the Isle of Wight in a day or two. The Biter gunboat, tender to the Colossus, is also at Portland. The following is an extract of a letter from a gentleman connected with the naval expedition to China, dated Hongkong, June 2, which says :-- " According to my promise, I send you a line re garding the expedition, and also enclose an amus ing piece of impertinence on the part of the Celestial Canton merchants. All the gunboats have arrived, making the passage from England in about six months or so. The gunboat Bouncer was exactly half a year and 50 minutes from Ply mouth, arriving without an accident of any kind. The fleet is now about to start for the Peiho, and by the 10th all those destined to witness and assist in the destruction of the forts will have left. Four .gunboats and a larger vessel remain to protect Canton river, and I imagine that a larger military force will be kept south than was expected, there being some doubts, or rather suspicions, as to the loyalty of the Cantonese. It is said that our allies will not be ready for six weeks or so, which, if true, will place them entirely in the background, for I do not think the Admiral will wait. Talking of our chief, be is, without exception, the best man adapted for the work, being heave, clear-headed, kind, very fair, and reserved, and, as everybody knows, has no superior as regards bravery. With this enormous fleet, the large transport department, and sundry other duties, his place is very far from a sinecure, and it is only a wonder to me how he can do so well and give such universal satisfaction. As to our success we have not the slightest doubt. Most of the fleet have already started, and pro bably before the close of June our footing will have been disputed. I imagine that the greater share of the sea attack will be left to the gunboats, as the large vessels will be unable to cross the bar ; but on all these hEads I will give you further intelligence when I am able to speak accu rately. The land force will, I believe, be as follows :---English, 25,000 bayonets, with artillery, 900 cavalry ; French, 9,000 bayonets ; while the number of guns our fleet can muster amounts to nearly 3,000, two-thirds of which will probably be brought into play, as it is stated that the crews of the larger vessels (which are unable to cross the bar) will form a strong naval brigade under the command of Lord John Hay. The Cam brian goes to Singapore as senior officer, in conse quence of Sir Robert M'Clure 'invaliding, and the Sampson remains here. It is almost wonderful to , relate that, considering the whole British force has arrived, not a single casualty has occur red, not a vessel run ashore, not a boiler burst, not an engine broken down, nor even a spar been carried away ; an achievement that reflects great credit on those connected with the transport department and on the head of her Majesty's naval service. The following bet has been offered and taken :—‘ The Canton Cotton guild have offered to bet 50,000 dols. the allied force will be repulsed at the Peiho. They will not stake a smaller sum, and are willing to deposit the amount in the bank on the other side doing the same.' " The screw steam Coastguard ships Ajax, 60, Capt. John M. N. Boyd, and the Hogue, 60, Capt. Reginald J. J. G. Macdonald, from Portland, ar rived in Plymouth Sound on Friday morning. The screw steam Coastguard ship Majestic, 80, Capt. William R. Mends, C. 8., left Plymouth Sound on Friday for Liverpool. The Torch, 5, screw gunvessel, Commander Smith, tested her speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay on Wednesday, with the following re sult :—Draught of water forward, 12 feet 3 inches ; aft, 10 feet 6 inches. Revolutions of engines, maxi mum, 94; mean, 95. Pressure of steam, 20 ; vacuum, 25.5. Mean result of six runs, 8.843. The Rinaldo, 17, screw, in the steam reserve, was tried the same day, and the results were as follows: —Draught of water aft, 12 feet 6 inches ; forward, 11 feet 3 inches. Revolutions of engines, maximum, 96.5 ; mean, 95.833. Pressure of steam, 20; vacuum, 25. Mean result of six runs, 11.781. The Himalaya, screw troopship, Capt. J. Sec combe, sailed yesterday from Portsmouth for De vonport. The sailing sloop Elk, 12, Commander H. Cam pion, which arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday afternoon, as reported yesterday, landed there one distressed British subject and five naval invalids from the Australian station, and proceeded imme diately up Channel for Chatham, where her crew will be paid off, and she will be dismantled. She is in very good condition. The Elk was commis sioned in May, 1856, and continued in the China Seas until September, 1858, when she sailed for Australia. She departed from Auckland on the 21st of April, at which time the Iris, Pelorus, Niger, and Cordelia were at New Zealand. Thirty men belonging to the sloop, and four of her guns, were left bhind to form a portion of the naval bri gade established there. Off Cape Horn, on June 8, a very heavy gale from the eastward was experi enced. The Elk touched at St. Helena, July 1, and spoke, July 8, lat. 2 31 S, long. 18 37 W, the Eng lish ship Floating Light ; July 10, lat. 1 22 N, long. 23 55 W, the Spanish ship Julia, of Malaga, and supplied her with 1,2001 b of bread and 2001 b. of beef; and July 11, lit. 43 14 N, long. 23 53 W, the French barque Heloise, from the Isle of Bour bon, 91 days, for Marseilles, which must discharge to repair, and will assemble at Queenstown ; she desired to be reported at Lloyd's. The Royal Adelaide, 104, and the gunboats Steady and Penguin, are refitting at Plymouth for the second-class steam ordinary. The artisans of Devonport dockyard have com menced coppering the bottom of the screw steam ship Howe, 121. The hired transports Venilia, Capt. Page, and the Eleanor, Capt. Findlay, moored alongside the Royal Arsenal pier, Woolwich, yesterday com menced shipping, the former 750 tons and the latter 550 tons of hutting and other materials for the Cape of Good Hope. The cargoes consist of ready prepared planks and timbers, 177 tons of flooring bricks, 125 tons of slates for tanks, and other materials for the erection of two immense hospi tals, supplied by Messrs. Myers, the contractors, for the accommodation of invalid troops from India. Another material portion of the stores consists of balks of iron, plates, girders, &c., in complete readiness for being put together for the formation of a couple of huge cooking-houses for the supply of the hospitals, the latter materials having been manufactured by Messrs. Tupper and Co., of Limehouse. The erection of the build ings will be performed by the artificers of Royal Engineers stationed at the Cape, and who are about to be reinforced by Lieut. Coles and a de tachment from Woolwich. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander John E. F. Risk, to the Indus; Lieut. Mervyn B. Medlycott, to the Royal Albert; Lieut. J. B. Scott, to com mand the Caradoc, vice Buckle, promoted; and Thomas Scott, first-class assistant-engineer, for ,emporary service, to the Cumberland, for service .n the Myrtle. THE ARMY. The officers and men of the 78th Highlanders, at present stationed in Edinburgh Castle, entitled to medals for service in India, were presented with them on Thursday forenoon on the Castle Espla nade. The day had been previously fixed for the distribution, and as it fortunately happened that Lady Havelock, whose heroic husband had com manded this gallant regiment in the first advance on Lucknow, arrived on a visit to Edinburgh on Wed nesday, Col. Ewart, C. 8., who commands the regi ment, invited her Ladyship to distribute the medals, which she kindly consented to do. The regiment having been made to form three sides of a square, the officers and men who had served in India were called six paces to the front, when Colonel Ewart (who had served with the 93d in India) introduced Lady Havelock to the regiment, and expressed his satisfaction that the Indian men were now to receive the well-earned honour of the medal. The medals were then handed by Lady Havelock severally to the officers and. men, as they were called forward, commencing with Lieut.-Col, Henry Hamilton, C. 8., and Lieut.-Col. Mlintyre, C.B. In all 13 officers, about 60 non-commissioned officers, and 250 men received the medals on the parade, and to about 40 or 50 doing garrison duty, or absent from other causes, they were subsequently given. . Four holders of the Victoria Cross were included in the presentation—namely, Dr. 111‘1\laster, Colour-Ser geant M‘Pherson, Corpor al James Holliv▪ vell, and Private Henry Ward. At the close the men gave two most hearty rounds of cheers for Lady Have lock, who afterw ards visited the barracks and hospital, and in the wards of the latter di▪ stributed the medals to several of the men who, from sick ness, were unable to be on parade. A great pro portion of the medals had two clasps-Lnamely, for the defenco 0f Lucknow from the 25th of September to the 22d of November, 1857 ; and for its fin al :ure. Yesterday Col. H. Drury Harness, C. 8., assumed the command of the Royal Enginee r establishment at Chatham, vice Major. Gen. H. Sand ham, promoted. The 13th, 14th, 16th, and 19th companies of Royal Engineers, now employed oil the Ordnance survey of Great Britain, having been reduced somewhat below their required numbers, Colonel Sir H. James, R.E., who is superintending th e trigonometrical survey, has ma de applicatica to the authorities for a number of additional non commissioned officers and men to be trans ferred from the companies at headquarters to the surveying companies. In accordance with this application about 50 of the most intelligent mathematicians, surveyors, and draughtsmen have been selected from the non-commissioned officers and men at the Royal En gineer establishmen ts, Chatham, and these will shortly proceed from Brompton Bar raeks to the several companies at which their ser vices are required. The experiments with Armstrong guns against the martello tower at Eastbourne were continued on Tuesday. The guns used on both days were a 40-pounder of 30 cwt., an 80. pounder of 63 cwt., and a short 100-pounder, weighing . cwt, The tower was 48 feet in diameter, and 32 feet high. The walls were 7 feet 3 inches thick on the land side, and the roof was a massive vault, designed for carrying a gun, and to be bombproof. Solid shot and shell were used in about equal numbers, but the chief damage was occasioned by the shells. The shells from the light 100-pounder were pre eminent in the effect they produced. The principal object of the experiment was to prove the destruc tive powers of the Armstrong gun and projectiles, by completely shattering the land side of the tower and the bombproof roof ; but the side nearest to the sea, having become protected by the slope of fallen material which filled up the interior of the tow( was left standing. The tower became untenable after the first 50 rounds. The gun of the tower ha id been previously removed, and therefore it did not, share in the general ruin. THE FATAL OCCURRENCE AT DOVELR. DOVER, FitIDAY ,We are to-day enabled to furnish more .cletaitei particulars of the frightful accident at baser, of ' which a brief notice has already appeared. The Archcliff Fort battery, the scene of the ma. • lancholy occurrence, has boon regularly used by the Artillery Volunteers since their organisation for the purpose of gun drill. It lies to the westward of the town, and is the nearest battery to Shaksperc?s Cliff, which is on its right, the viaduct of the Sow la Eastern Railway running from one point to V 1 , 13 other. The fort is bounded on three of its sides I )y a broad parapet., that ou its right overlooking a (lit. !..11 or foss which cuts off the line of fortifications fro m the adjacent country, the road to Shakspere's if crossing it by means of a drawbridge. At the tim4e of the accident the members of the corps in attend' , ance were engaged at target practice, which had just commenced. Three guns were mounted along. the front of the battery, and were pointed at the: target, which was placed the necessary distance out in the Channel. The elms were the ordinary 32.- pounders used by the Royal Artillery, who had re peatedly fired the whole of them, and it is believ• sit they had all undergone the necessary tests, althouwki there appears to be little doubt that they have beet n a considerable time in use. It was the centre oneo f the three that exploded; and from all that can be:a t present ascertained there appears to be no dou'b t that the explosion was owing to a flaw in the gu o . This point, however will be more fully cleared u;u by the evidence of' professional men at the inquii] which will take place. As has been already stated., there would seem no ground for believing that the gun was imperfectly loaded, as, if' the charge ho.d not been properly rammed home, the projectile would not have reached so near the target as it did . The direction of the ball is well known, several of those who had ranged themselves along the parapet at different parts to see the effect of the discharge being unaware of the occident until they had made their observations. All agree that it was a very good. shot. Lieutenant Thomp son, Sergeant Monger, Sergeant Matthews (in structing sergeant of the Royal Artillery), Gunner Pell, and several other members of the corps were upon the righthand parapet overlooking the ditch before mentioned, which is between 20 and 30 feet deep, and on the explosion taking place six of their number were hurled over—viz., Lieut. Thompson, Sergeant Monger, Corporal Austen, Gunner Bould ing, and Bugler Tucker, and a young gentleman named Harris, the nephew of Captain Wollaston, who commands the corps. Five out of the six were carried over into the ditch, but the sixth, Mr. Aus ten, fortunately caught hold of some long grass which was growing on the outer edge of the pa rapet, and was thus saved from sharing the fate of his unfortunate companions ; indeed, he escaped without any injury whatever. Mr. Tucker also escaped injury in a most miraculous and extraor dinary manner, being able to get up from the ground soon after alighting, and to walk away. It was at once seen, however, that the injuries sus tained by at least three of the remaining Volunteers were serious. Lieut. Thompson, it is said, got upon his legs for a moment, and, with that kindness of heart for which he was always remarkable, said to those near him, "I am not hurt ; let us see about the others!" but on turning round in the endeavour to carry out this benevolent design he fell back wards and expired without uttering another word. Mr. Monger and Mr. Harris were conveyed to the military hospital, which is about a quarter of a mile distant from the fort; but in the case of Mr. Monger death took place immediately after his arrival. Mr. Harris was found to be suffering from concussion of the brain. He still lies in a very critical state, but the medical men give hopes of his recovery ‘ Boulding was not seriously hurt, and was taken to his own home in a fly. The gunner who applied the match, Mr. Had low, jun., was wounded in the head, but not very severely. He behaved with great courage and coolness, beseeching those who were about him, as soon as a bandage. had been applied to his head, to give their sole attention to those who were more seriously injured. Mr. Gilfillan, who was standing near was struck upon the arm by a splinter from the exploded gun, whereby the limb was rather badly fractured. We are happy to state, however, that he is going on favourably, and that at present the only fatal casualties are those already alludel to. Dr. Astley, who is one of the lieutenants of the corps, was present at the time of the occurrence, and Mr. Ottaway, Mr. H. Coleman, Mr. Walter, and other medical men were on the spot in a short time aster. From what we can ascertain, the gun parted just below the trunnion, the muzzle dropping to the ground, and the breach being blown about 30 yards to the rear. The remaining portion was split into fragments, which were sent in all directions. Two of the pieces were blown over the left side of the battery into the goods station of the South Eastern Railway, and it is said that one of these bears un mistakeable tokens of the defective character of the gun. The other piece, which is three or four feet in length, was deeply imbedded in the ground by the violence of the concussion. • Mr. Monger, who carried on the business of a tobacconist in Snargate-street, leaves a wife and two children. Mr. Thompson was a solicitor and the coroner for the borough. He also held the offices of registrar of Dover Harbour and clerk to the county magistrates. He was universally esteemed for his kind and amiable demeanour, and his loss will be deeply regretted by all degrees of his fellow-townsmen. The authorities of the bo rough are placed in some difficulty as to the opening of the inquiry upon the bodies ; but Mr. E. Knocker, the town-clerk, has telegraphed to the recorder, Mr. W. H. Bodkin, who, it was thought, would apply to the Lord Chief Justice, in whom rests the power of appointing a person to conduct the usual coroner's investigation in eases of this nature. It is thought the inquiry will be opened to-morrow (Saturday). We have obtained the following narrative from the lips of Mr. J. D. Squier, who was No. 1 man at the gun which exploded. He says,—" I was stand ing at the rear of the gun at the right, imme- into diately behind the group who were hurled the ditch. They were standing upon the em bankment on the right of the ba tter y , and about a dozen yards in advance of the muz zle of the gun. On the discharge of the gun, and as soon as the smoke cleared away, th e volunteer who hadhis fired, Hadlow, came runnina• towards me with hand. to his head, from which' bind was trickling immediately a cry was raised that two men were., and in the ditch. I ran round, and on getting ft I found that Mr. Thompson, Mr. Monger, 34r. James Tucker, Mr. Boulding, and Mr. Harris % the nephew of the captain, had been blown into the in his from trench. Mr. Thompson vas lying on his bank, breatbina• hard, and his life 1 ,72 S fast ebbing. He t-ry freely. Monger wairclatredblotoodh3wvaes b il c o n wia , presented no appearance of injury, but was in sensible." Mr. Squier adds, with respect to the cause of the accident, that after the charge bad been rammed home, and as the gun was b e ing run along the platform previous to its discharge, it was a good deal shaken by the uneven state of the platform. Military men will be able to judge whether it was possible for the charge to have been sh aken out of its position by this means. The Volunteers who rammed the charge were gunners Pell and Penn, both muscular men, and well a dapted for the dis charge of their duty. The greatest gloom prevails in the town, and a large number of the shoPe *TM partially elosca
