ACCIDENTS BY LIGHTNING. Seldom have so many serious accidents been pro duced by a storm of thunder and lightning as that of Tuesday last. Minor disasters are reported almost beyond number, and several of e fatal character. At West Bromwich, the lightning struck the house of a labourer named Timmins, situated in a row near the Old Church. The electric fluid entered the ceiling of the front bedroom, from the roof, making apertures similar to what would be produced by a discharge of four rifles. The fluid struck the bedstead, burnt the curtains and bed-clothes, and the blankets and feathers of the bed were completely singed. The electric fluid seemed then to have ex pended itself, as regards that part of the house, but unfortunately it appeared in another part and pro duced a fatal effect. Timmins, the occupier of the house, was at that moment engaged in pour ing some water from a kettle, just taken off the fire, into a teapot. The lightning struck him on the back of the neck, and produced immediate death. A small round black scar was afterwards found on the neck, and a hole corres ponding with the scar was found in his collar. One of deceased's little girls said she saw fire at the back of his neck at the time he fell. The front bedroom, where the bed was struck and burnt, was in a state of dust and confusion, but the room downstairs, and which was at the back of the house, exhibited not the least mark of the presence of the electric fluid, neither of ingress nor egress ; nothing was displaced, no soot nor dust disturbed. The town of Mansfield was visited by a severe thunderstorm in the afternoon, and it raged with great fury for a considerable time. Shortly before 8 p.m. the light ning struck the house of a person named Dawes, who lives on the Chesterfield-road, about a mile from Mansfield. The son of Dawes, a boy eight years of age, was going to bed when the lightning struck him, and he fell down, expiring almost im mediately. The lightning then passed through the bedroom floor into the kitchen, and caught the de ceased's sister on the shoulder and side, inflicting such injuries that she is not expected to recover. A less serious accident occurred at Dunford-bridge. A number of sheep belonging to Messrs. Fox and Haigh, of PenistoneTownhead, farmers and graziers, were near to the wire fencing, which in that neigh bourhood surmounts the walls to prevent the sheep from jumping over. The storm was raging fearfully and the lightning flashed vividly. On its course it struck the wire fencing, and six of the sheep were killed instantaneously, while the wire fencing was torn up for a considerable distance. At Wombwell, near Barnsley, a house was struck by the lightning. The chimney fell, and several slates were removed from the roof. The inmates were from home. At Dukenfield the lightning struck the chimney of a cottage in Parliament-street, occupied by a dresser, named Robert Harrison, and forced itself into the front bedroom, in which seven persons, includ ing children, were in bed. The lightning was seen to play about the chimney-piece, and then with a crash, it broke through a small window and so escaped, happily doing not the least harm. In Leicestershire the storm was very severe on the forests; the thunder and lightning raged with almost unprecedented violence, but fortunately no damage was done. At Rugby the storm was also very severe. Three cows were killed by lightning while standing in a field near the town. Between eight and nine o'clock in the morning the storm was felt slightly at Leicester, but passed over. The day, however, was very sultry, and the atmosphere heavily charged with electricity, which culminated in a perfect tem pest of thunder and lightning, accompanied by torrents of rain. About seven o'clock the clouds gathered and hung ovEr the town like a huge sable pall, and it became as dark as midnight. All at once the rain descended heavily, the dark clouds emitted fearful flashes of lightning, and the peals of thunder were loud and frequent, and appeared literally to shake the buildings. The family of William Smith, a spindle maker, living near Wolverhampton, had a narrow escape. Between seven and eight o'clock, when the thunder was the loudest, the lightning the most vivid, and the rain the heaviest, the lightning struck the gable end of the roof of Smith's house, ripped up the tiles, passed between the rafters and the ceiling, cracking the latter all over, described an angle, came down between the plaster and the wall, and forced a way out just over the timber framework of an iron casemented window. Here it fused away the lead plug which usually occupies the corner of such casements, burnt a portion of the iron, and fused and cracked the pane of glass nearest to the plug. From the window it seemed to have leaped on to the brick work below the window, and to have forced a passage for itself into the room, tbroagh the mortar which unites two of the bricks. Upon re-entering the room near to the boarded floor, it blew away from the wall a trunk, cantaining wearing apparel and papers, setting both the trunk and its contents on fire. From the bedroom it passed down into the sitting-room beneath, from the nearest corner of the upper apartment. On entering the sitting-room it stripped away a portion of the plastered and papered surface of one wall, burnt the paper on another wall, scattered about the room a number of plants that stood in the window, and singed their foliage. Its exit from the sitting-room was not traceable. All, however, of the lightning does not seem to have re-entered the bedroom from the outside, for an iron hinge and latch of a wooden gate below were both slightly fused, a por tion of the gate was splintered off, and a part of a brass water tap that stands near to the gate has also been melted away. A young man in the yard at the time this happened describes the effect of the lightning, which, he says, fell around him, and rebounded from the yard in sparks, as from an anvil. The report at the same time was exceedingly deafening, alike to him and to Smith's wife and his grown-up daughter, both of whom were at home at the time. All the apartments were filled with dense smoke, as from exploded gunpowder ; and th 3 mother, upon hastening upstairs, where two children lay abed in the room which the lightning entered, found the trunk and its contents in a blaze, and one of the children apparently stupefied and very pale, as from the effects of partial suffocation. This stupor continued for some time, even after the children were brought down stairs. The furnitur in the sitting-room is described as presenting the appearance of having been spotted over with soap water which had become dry ; and in the yard similar marks are stated to have been seen upon the ground at the point at which the young man says he saw the rebounding sparks of fire. Evidences of the fierce heat of the lightning are pre sented upon one of the bricks outside the window, the surface of which has the polished metallic appearance of an overburnt brick, and at the point at which the lie , a htnin re-entered the room through the mor t ar , ' the ends p of the bricks between which it passed are also similarly vitrefied. At about the same time the lightning struck a chimney stack not far away from Smith's house, and forced away several of the bricks. The storm was felt with equal severity in Devonshire. Few people were asleep in Exeter and for many mijes round at four o'clock on Tuesday morning. Before that time thousands were roused from their sleep by an extra ordinary war of the elements. Exeter people say that they remember nothing of the kind so appalling since Feb. 20, 1833, when 25 noble trees were blown down on Northern hay, and great devastation was caused in all the country round. Between nine and ten o'clock on Monday night low rumblings of dis tant thunder were heard, and the air was exceed ingly oppressive. Not till one o'clock, however, did the lightning become vivid, and the thunder loud. No rain fell until half-past three, but shortly before four it descended in torrents, mixed with large hail stones. Between that and a quarter past four the awful storm was at its height. The lightning flashes, blue and rose in colour, followed each other in rapid succession, quivering wondrously, and the air seemed at times to be one sheet of glowing flame. The thunder rolled also in continuous peals, but did not crash so startingly as has been often heard. The peculiarity o f the storm was the awful vividness and long continuance of the lightning flashes. During a quarter of an hour the scene was one of wildest fury ; the rain, the hail, the wind, the lightning, and the thunder, combined in terrible confusion. The rain-fall was unusually heavy--DO parts of an inch in the half hour. It is reported that a lad was struck blind by the lightning at Countess Weir. A man, living in Newtown, was injured by the fall on him, as he lay in bed, of a part of the roof of the house. At Dawlish many houses were injured. At Totness a hayrick near Dart Villas, belonging to Mr. Win. Byne, and at Coombe, Loddiswell, a barn in the occupation of Mr. Came, were ignited and much injured. At Torquay 40 flashes of light- ning were counted in a minute. During a thunder storm which prevailed in the neighbourhcod of Leisingham, in Norfolk, on Sunday afternoon, the lightning struck Smallburgh parish school, where several children were assembled preparatory to at tending service at the church. Two little girls, aged respectively eight and seven, were killed on the spot and four more were injured, one of them seriously,. in addition to which the school-house has sustained considerable damage. The bell tower of the school seems to have attracted the electric fluid. A violent thunderstorm broke over Oldham and the surround ing districts, and continued for about an hour. Next morning a man named William West Hirst was found dead on the road at Oxhey, in Saddle worth. He was lying on his face, and had a small electrical machine on his back. It appears that the man, who worked at Denshaw, was returning from Holmfirth, when he was caught in the storm. His hat was torn into pieces, and found in an adjoining field about 15 yards from him, and one of his boots was also cut into shreds. It is supposed that the electrical machine he had with him was struck by the lightning, as there were marks on his body as if the fluid had radiated from it. FETING A GRAVEDIGGER. Broughty-ferry, near Dundee, has been for some days the scene of considerable uproar, in conse quence of the resistance made by the population to the attempts of the authorities to close a favourite old burial-ground. On Wednesday a funeral under taker named Deas, and Wm. Skirving, a grave digger, both belonging to the Ferry, were brought up in the Dundee Sheriff-court, charged with illegally assisting in the interment of human re mains in the old burying-ground, after the latter had been closed by order of the Privy Council. Sheriff Smith found them both guilty, and sentenced the gravedigger to pay a fine of £5, or go to prison for two months, while ➢lr. Deas was mulcted in the sum of £2, wish the option of thirty days' imprison ment. On the result of the trial becoming known in Broughty-ferry, a subscription was organised for the payment of Skirving's fine. The necessary amount was speedily raised, and the popular sexton liberated. The public honours showered upon the gravedigger's head are thus described by the Dundee Courier:—" Yesterday, about mid-day, great ex citement prevailed amongst our fishing population in consequence of intelligence having arrived that William Skirving, the gravedigger, had been fined £5 in the Sheriff-court, Dundee, for digging graves in the old burying-ground, after the latter had been closed against their will. Shortly after the word arrived, some persons comm enced to gather sub scriptions for raising the amount of the fine, and thereby securing Skirving's liberation. In about an hour and a half the whole of the money required was made up, and a person appointed to go to Dundee and fetch Skirving home. The money, we believe, was chiefly gathered from among the families of the fishermen. A large number of the fisherwomen and children assembled together in the afternoon, and, preceded by three girls carrying large flags, marched up to the station, to await the train which leaves Dundee at 5.45 p.m., and with which it was thought Skirving would arrive. Gn the arrival of the train great cheering and singing commenced, but subsided a little when it was found that Skirving had been left behind. Before the arrival of the next train the crowd increased to a very large extent. An arm chair was brought on which to carry Skirv ing in triumph through the town. As the train halted, and William hove in sight, the singing commenced with renewed vigour, the vocalists a ternately singing something like 'Skirving has won the day ;' and ' We'll all feel gay when Skirviug comes marching home.' On reaching the gate, Skirving was put into the arm chair and carried by six of the strongest fishermen present. The pro cession then marched down the street, the flags being carried in front as before. At the time the crowd left the station it was supposed that there were three or four hundred present. The procession tra versed Gray-street, Brook -street, Fort-street, and the beach, where they halted, a number of them, the ' hero of the day' among the rest, going into a tavern there, where we suppose they had something to 'strengthen their nerves.' On emerging from the publichouse William again mounted the chair and was carried as before along the beach, up Gray street, and down King-street until they arrived at his house, where he got down amidst great cheering and uproar. During the whole time William was being carried aloft the crowd continued singing, and the ' carriers,' when they got tired, placed the chair on the ground, when its occupant got out and commenced waving his hat and bowing to the crowd. After the chair was emptied of its burden one of the women got it upon her head, and, followed by the girls carrying the flags and by a crowd which at this time had swelled tremendously, they again pro ceeded up Fort-street until they arrived at the house of Mr. Matthew Deas (who had also been at the court in reference to the burying ground case), where they gave three ringing cheers. They then went singing and shouting through West Brook-street and various other streets until about 8 o'clock, when they halted in front of the Victoria buildings, Gray-street, where they gave three ironi cal cheers and sung the four lines which they made use of at the time of the last effigy burning, and which have grown quite popular since that occur i ence. They then went their way singing mai shouting as before, but not the way to their homes ; and we cannot say at what time they broke up, as they were heard long afterwards. Duripg the time they were at the beach several of the women ex pressed themselves in rather strong language, one of them proposing that they should gather all the dead dogs between the Black Rocks and the Stan nergate and hang one of them, minus its head, on the handle of the door of every one of the police commissioners." c - CHILDREN KILLED BY LIGHTNING —During a thunder-storm which prevailed in the neighbourhood of Lessinghatri, in Norfolk, on Sunday afternoon, the light ning struck Smallburgh parish school, whore several chil dren wore assembled preparatory to attending afternoon service at the church. Two little girls, aged respectively eight and seven, wore killed on the spot, and four more were injure d , ono of them seriously , in addition to which the school-house has sustained considerable damage. The bell tower of the school seems to have attracted the elec tric fluid.

The prosecutions which the Government have felt it necessary to'institute against the Orange pro cessionists at Bangor, county Down, commenced yesterday, and excited no slight degree of interest in that famous little town. So full a bench and so crowded a court have seldom been witnessed at an ordinary petty sessions. The magistrates who at tended were Major J. S. Crawford (chairman), Lord Dufferin, Joseph Eglinton, R.M., Andrew Cowan, 11. Harrison, Robert lleron, D.L., and Major It. Maxwell. Mr. Montgomery, sub-inspector of constabulary, was also present. Twenty-six defen dants, headed by Mr. W. Johnstone, Ballykilbeg house, attended to answer summonses charging that they and others on the 12th of July last " formed an unlawful assembly and met and paraded together, and had among them fire-arms and other offensive weapons, banners, and symbols, the display whereof was calculated to provoke animosity between the different classes of her Majesty's subjects, and were accompanied by persons playing music, which was calculated to provoke animosity between different classes of her Majesty's subjects." The defendants were William Johnstone, Matthew Skillan, Thomas M.‘Cling, James 8001, Hugh Garrett, William Mawhinney, James Dixon, Francis Whiteside, Jas. Morrison, Samuel Alexander, Samuel Scott, Robert Moffett, James Reid, Thomas George, Thomas Keatinge, William Gibson, John Brown, John Petherens, Hugh Cree, Hugh Dill, David Harvey, William M'Eall, Joseph Spratt, William John Dill, James M'Cully, and Thomas Graham. Mr. Magee, Crown solicitor, conducted the proceedings on the part of the Crown ; Mr. Kisbey, barrister, appeared to defend 13 of the accused ; Mr. Maclean, solicitor, appeared for Mr Johnstone ; and Mr. Crawley, _ _ chair to the meeting, and they were thus unani mously elected directors of the company. The CHAIRMAN said he and his colleagues had not interfered in the election ; they would receive with satisfaction their brother directors just elected, and would work harmoniously with them. The businGss for which they had met had been performed, and the proceedings were concluded. solicitor, for M'Cling and Scott. At the close of the evidence the magistrates de cided upon receiving informations against all the defendants except Reid and Skillan, and sending the cases for trial at the assizes. This rapid de spatch of the business of an inquiry which it was thought would be protracted for some days will enable the Crown Solicitor to take up another link in the series of prosecutions by attending at Ban bridge Sessions to-day to proceed against other parties. By way of showing the spirit in which he treats the action of the Government, Mr. Johnstone selected the day of his appearance before the magis trates to issue an address to the electors of Belfast, v L eihn e a e gr son _ stree t, by strik oofff t e h ri a n t g b h o i r m ou se g l h f a i n s a thec a n e ad event dnatt ofe for the .Getty etty Reform retiring. representationmee.

The defendant, who stated that he was a labourer on the coal quay, and had been employed with others to keep order, excuaed himself by alleg ing that the complainant was interrupting the meet ing. The magistrate sentenced him to pay a fine of 55., or be imprisoned for 48 hours. The investigation respecting certain irregularities in the management of the South Dublin Union was concluded yesterday. Mr. Horridge, the master, was examined, and admitted that he had allowed money to remain too long in his hands, but declared that he had accounted for all he received, and he repudiated the charge of permitting fictitious entries to be made in the books. The clerk was also exa mined, and explained that he did not check the accounts because he found it impracticable to do so, owing to the pressure of business. The evidence taken down has been transmitted to the Poor Law Commissioners for their decision. The annual shows of the Enniscorthy Agricultural Society and the Wexford Horticultural Society Were held yesterday at Enniscorthy, and were substan tial and creditable. The recent declaration of war against the Esta blished Church appears to have startled some of its members from their apathy, and arrangements are now making to meet the threatened attack. The Church Institution held the first of a series of pro vincial meetings in Cavan yesterday with that object. There was a numerous attendance of the clergy. Mr. James Storey occupied the chair, in the absence of Lord Cavan, who was expected, but could not be present. The Bishop of liihnore made a few obser vations commendatory of the institution and pointed out the necessity for refuting the misrepresentations which were put forward by the assailants of the Church. He called on the Rev. Dr. Lee to give some information, and the rev. gentleman, in com pliance with the request, entered into a history of the formation of the Liberation Society in England to disestablish the Church, and of the Church Insti tution to counteract its efforts. He went into statistics to show that there was but one single benefice —that, noti in severalt a h l e l g Ireland emneemr abl Establishedlrish pCohpuurlcah olfe a t h p e r Established n t C h h o u s e r c o h f h the a d b ti e o e n n , t d h im e imniesalhebdersin to edisee b or e feasth fo ee u o n f d th i e n which there Roman Catholic and Presbyterian Churches ; that eight-ninths of the tithe-rent charge was paid by Protestant landlords and only one-ninth by Roman Catholics, and that a rent-charge was in the nature of a reserved rent, which never belonged to either landlord or tenant. Other arguments were adduced in answer to objections. Resolutions in support of the institution were adopted. Railway and other Companies. TOTTENHAM AND liLIPSTEAD JUNCTION. Naval and Military Intelligence. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Westminster-chambers, Victoria-street ; Capt. Arrow in the chair. The report stated that at the last meeting of the proprietors the directors anticipated the early com pletion of the line and of its opening for public traffic, but untoward circumstances, arising out of the financial difficulties affecting railway property in general, had hitherto prevented the opening of the line, which was now in all essentials ready for traffic. The directors had, notwithstanding this difficulty, reason to believe that before the end of the autumn not only would the local passenger traffic be accommodated, but that, by mean s o f temporary connexion with the Midland Railway, the vast traffic of that company seeking the Docks would be also passing over the line. While those important results were being secured, the directors proposed to raise the authorised capital, and thus relieve the company fram heavily pressing liabilities, and place it, financially, in a satisfactory state. Of its future prospects there could then be little doubt, looking to its immediate locality and the connexion it formed between two great companies. The capital account showed that £386,371 had been expended, leaving a balance of £33,300 of Great Eastern 5 per cent. stock. On the motion of the CHAIRMAN the report and statement of accounts were adopted, and the meet ing separated. GoLEFORD, MONMOUTII, AND USK. The half-yearly meeting was held at Newport; Mr. T. Brown in the chair. The report stated that the rent received from the Great Western Company enabled them to recom mend a dividend for the past half-year at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum. The report was unanimously adopted, and the dividend recommended was declared. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. DUBLIN TRUNK CONNECTI-50, An extraordinary general meeting of this com pany was held yesterday at the City Terminus Hotel, Cannon-street ; Mr. F. W. Russell in the chair. The Secretary having read the notice convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN explained that the meeting was held in compliance with a clause in the Companies' Act, 1867, which required that four of - .the existing directors should retire from the board, so , ;.as to enable the shareholders in the company whcr ha 1 paid up not less than £5 per share to elect fc•ur di/ectors in the place of those who retired. The shareholders then nominated Mr. S. D. Wil liams, Mr. W. P. Patrick, Mr. F.. P. Blewett, and Mr. W. C. Smith. They were propogod from the ing machine ; and when the ship is set in motion a long barrel, thickly set with arms about a foot long, revolves, and the mud thus agitated is carried off by the ebbing tide. It is calculated that about 800 tons of mud arc thus removed at each tide. We are glad to learn that Commodore Caldwell, who was compelled to resign his command at the Cape of Good Hope from serious ill-health, and who came home passenger by the Orontes, has arrived in England in much better health than his friends anticipated, the voyage homeward having had a most beneficial effect upon the state of the gallant officer's health as the vessel approached the English from the African coast. Detachments of time expired non-commissioned officers and men and invalid troops belonging to the 3d Dragoons, 11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars, 18th Hussars, Royal Horse and Field Artillery, 51st (King's Own) Light Infantry, 821 Regiment, 96th Regiment, 103 d Royal Bombay Fusileers, 106th Bombay Light Infantry, and 109th Bombay Infantry arrived at Gravesend yesterday - , and on disembarking from the Lady Wodehouse steamer, which conveyed them from Portsmouth, were for warded to their respective depots at Chatham, Woolwich, Canterbury, Shorncliffe, Dover, and Colchester. VALETTA, Aug. 30.—The Marseilles mail brought letters from the fleet to the 16th inst., when they were anchored at Spezzia. The previous advices were dated off Nice, Aug. 2. Lord C. Paget arrived off Genoa on the 6th, but did not communicate, as there had been a few cases of cholera in the town. Ile sailed for Spezzia the same afternoon, arriving early the following morning, and finding there the Prince Consort and Royal Oak, which had been sent on previously. By the courtesy of the authorities all the ships were permitted to remain. It was exceedingly hot, but the squadron were quite healthy, and Spezzia was free from any disease. In the outskirts of the town great alterations are being made, as it is the intention of the Italian Government to transfer their naval arsenal and dockyard from Genoa to that place. The only men-of-war at Spezzia were the Re Galantuomo, gunnery ship ; the Principe Carig nano, floating battery; and the Curtatone, gunboat ; English squadron and were ex pectedfFEorenrraju, uiandwromn commission, also also the San Giovanni, frigates,hnsocit in Elba, about the puta d t a o s st c eo h a o ai o i n. lr arrive r ef i g ea wt . The o 29th, to meet the Psyche, with the mails, after which they would probably return to Spezzia, as that port keeps up a quarantine on arrivals from places affected with cholera. The Tyrian was to take the next mail from Villafranca to the squadron at Spezzia. The Endymion joined the Commander-in- Chief from Malta on the 10th, and the Cruizer on the 14th, so the squadron is now complete. Her Ma jesty's screw steam troopship Simoom, Capt. Leth bridge, arrived here on the evening of Saturday, the 24th inst., with the4th, sth, and 6th batteries of the 10th Brigade, Royal Artillery, from Quebec, and the Bth battery of the same brigade from St. John's, Newfoundland, for disembarcation at this island. She left Halifax on the 24th of July and arrived at Quebec on the 28th, taking a. fresh de parture on Ist August, and arriving at St. John's on the 6th. She left again on the Bth, and Passed through the Straits of Gibraltar on the 20th. Being a troopship, she made the whole passage under steam, using sail also on every possible occasion. She met with fine weather throughout, although occasionally compelled by fogs to proceed at re duced speed. The following is a complete list of the passengers who arrived by her :—Lieut.-Col. R. B. M'Crea, his wife and daughter; Capt. S. Knox, Lieut. H. B. Harvey, Lieut. H. E. Duthie, Lieut. 11. des Barres, Lieut. J. P. Cundill, 253 non-commissioned officers, 64 women, 105 children, and two female servants from Quebec ; Lieut. G. J. Dillies, Lieut. D. N. Taylor, wife, and two chil dren ; Surg. A. K. Rickards, wife, and four chil dren ; 74 non-commissioned officers and gunners, 23 women, 33 children, and two servants, from St. John's ; and three gunners from Halifax. After completing with coal and cleaning boilers, the Si moom will embark on the 31st inst. the Ist, 6th, 7th, and Bth batteries of the 3d Brigade Royal Ar tillery, under the command of Col. Kennedy, and proceed to Gibraltar and North America, in execu tion of Admiralty orders to that effect, returning to Malta with the remainder of the batteries of the 10th Brigade. The screw steamship Onega arrived here on the 26th inst. from Woolwich, with mili tary stores for this island. It is said that Lieut.- Col. Kennedy, R.A., has recommended that an offi cer and three non-commissionedofficersof the Royal Malta Fencible Artillery be sent to England to study gunnery at Woolwich and Shoeburyness. Staff Captain Robert C. Allen, Master-Attendant lately of the Malta dockyard, proceeded home in the Euxine, via Southampton, having been appointed Master-Attendant of the dockyard at Davenport. This officer has been relieved here by Staff Capt. Valentine Roberts. Allusion has already been made to the extraordinary mortality which has prevailed during the past month in the Ist battalion Bth Regiment, greater, it is said, than has occurred in the 2nd battalion of the same regiment for the last four years, in cluding the cholera year of 1865. There are, I be lieve, at present some 70 men of the Ist battalion in hospital laid up with fever and other maladies, aris ing, it is supposed, from their being quartered in unhealthy barracks. The experiment of removing two companies to tents on Fort Manoel island has been followed by such a decided improvement in the health of the men that it has been determined to remove the remaining companies from the condemned L o wer St. Elmo, andplace then under canvas, at all canvas, wh il e something is done t o i m pr o ve the present very defective ventilation and sewage. A good deal of sickness also prevails in the 24th Re giment, quartered at Verdala, but I am glad to say it is not fatal. The sanitary condition of the rest of the regiments in garrison issatisfactory. A rumour is current that her Majesty's surveying steamer. Hydra will probably be sent round the Cape to the Red Sea, for service in connection with the Abys sinian expedition. The screw steamer Hawk is at present engaged patching up the Malta and Alex andria telegraph cable, prior to the approach of the stormy season. Accounts from the Piraeus to the 20th of August have come to hand to-day. They report the departure of her Majesty's screw sloop Racer on the 9th, and her return to the Piraeus on the 16th, after visiting Marathon and Port Mandri.

The screw storeship Supply Lieut.-Commander Bawden, arrived at Spithead yesterday morning from Malta, sailing thence on the 19th ult., and calling in at Gibraltar on the 25th. She brought home a few time-expired men and invalids, who were landed from her soon after arriyal. She is ordered to pro ceed round to Woolwich. The Orontes, screw troopship, Capt.

The hired freight ship Alarm, having shipped a cargo of war stores from Woolwich Arsenal, took her departure yesterday for Portsmouth. The cargo included 12 heavy guns for the armament of the Nelson, commissioned L . t C o mmander Payne, by Lieut.-Commander R.N for . 3 service in the colony of Victoria. The guns, seven of which are old 32-pounders, have been bored out to carry 68-pounder shot, and are strengthened on Major Palliser's system, and the remaining five are wrought-iron guns (9-in.), strengthened on the same principle, with an inner tube by Sir William Armstron,g and Co.

Staff-Commander Dillon, commanding the steam reserve at Woolwich, yesterday, accompanied by other officers, inspected the work done by an old system revived for removing the mud in front of the docks and basins. The apparatus, called a" mud agitator," is attached to the stern of the 40-horse power gun vessel Fenella, and has been working for some days past with good results. The system, it is stated, was first introduced by Mr. Scamp, of the dockyard at Malta, about 30 years ago, and has lain dormant until the Messrs. Blythe, of Rotherhithe, obtained permission of the Admiralty to try it at Woolwich. The apparatus consists simply of chains, instead of buckets, employed by the ordinary dredg- Assist.-Commissary-General J. 11. Sale, who has been appointed to the Chatham district, has com menced his duties at the garrison. A detachment of sappers and miners of the Royal Engineers has been placed under orders to proceed from headquarters, Chatham, to the South Ken sington Museum, for service at that establishment. In consequence of the representations made to the Government of the insecure and inconvenient condition of the wooden drawbridge crossing the trenches from Chatham to Brompton, the authori ties, after having had the subject under considera tion for upwards of two years, hare given directions for the drawbridge to be taken down and a large stone bridge constructed in its place, with a separate portion to be appropriated to foot passengers. Yes terday the roads leading to the bridge wore closed to the public, and during the day workmen commenced taking down the structure, preparatory to the erec tion of the new bridge across the fortifications ad joining the gun wharf and Ordnance establishment. THE MANCHESIER TRADES UNION INQUIRY. MANCIIESTER, Thursday. The inquiry was resumed this morning. Mr Pickering, Q.C., in the chair. Towards the close of the proceedings yesterday William Slater, one of the men convicted of the attack on Thomas Wild, at Stockport, in 1864, was examined. He denied that he was present when Wild was assaulted, but admitted that he, in coun cil with other members of the Stockport Brick makers' Union, had arranged that Wild should have a beating, and he had engaged six strangers to commit the assault. The men were paid £lO for the work. George Hulme, George Bailey, Thomas Holland, and Joseph Brown were present at the meeting of the council when the attack upon Wild was agreed to. On the resumption of the inquiry this morning, Slater was further examined as follows :—The pre sent secretary of the Stockport Union was Samuel Moss. There was no rule as to there being a cer tain number of members of the council to constitute a quorum. The council had frequently met to consider violations of the rules of the union, and had passed resolutions which had produced strikes. Kay, with whom the arrangement was made to employ men to assault Wild, was employed by the council several days before the assault for the pur pose of destroying Joseph Thorn ley's bricks. He was paid more than £lO for that job; but witness did not know how much. Witness came out of gaol on the 14th Dec. last. Remembered the case of Mr. Simpson, of Stockport. The council resolved that his property should be destroyed because he would not pay the union prices. Witness assisted in the destruction of Simpson's bricks. Among those who were with him were George Hahne, Thomas Hol land, James Garner, and a man named Jackson. There were only a few bricks destroyed—perhaps a thousand. It was a dark night, and it was agreed to set fire to the shed. For this purposa the party took with them a two gallon jar of naphtha, and this was used in firing the shed. There was a watchman named Platt on Simpson's premises. Witness did not threaten, nor did he hear any one threaten, to shoot Platt. Two of the party carried loaded guns. Witness had no gun. The guns were taken to shoot the dog, but the dog was not shot. Witness heard the report of a gun, but did not know who fired it. Holland and Garner carried the guns. Witness heard the watchman call out, and directly afterwards a gun was fired. There was more than one report. Could not say whether the watchman fired at the party destroying the pro perty. Witness's party had £l5 to divide amongst them for the night's work. Witness was treasurer of the union then, but made no entry of the pay ment. He was apprehended before the end of the quarter, when the books were audited ; but if he had remained in office the payment would not have been entered in the books—the matter would have been arranged with the auditors. There had been a dis pute between the Manchester and Stockport clubs as to what district Levenshulme was in. Last June about 40,000 bricks belonging to Peter Bailey, of Heaton Mersey, were destroyed. Mr. Bailey claimed £2O from the Stockport union for the damage done, and the council passed a resolution which witness, as president of the union, had signed. The resolution was that the union would pay the £2O to Mr. Bailey, provided he would let his men recommence work next morning, he having in the meantime stopped the men in his field. The reason the money was paid by the Stockport union was that they believed the damage to have been done by Manchester men, in consequence of the dispute about Levenshulme. They regarded the destruc tion of the property of Mr. Bailey, which was in the Stockport district, as an act of revenge.. There had been a case of destruction in Levenshulme last week, but witness did not know that it arose out of the dispute he had referred to. The Stockport union would not allow the masters to get work men from any other district while there were men in the Stockport district out of work. If they did the union stopped them in the way he had described. Before the bargain was made with Kay for the assault on Wild witness got the con sent of Cheetham, who was president of the union at that time, for the payment of £lO for the work. Witness arranged with Hulme for the naphtha that was taken to Simpson's brickfield, and Hulme was paid out of the £l5. Witness believed that the first shot was fired at the watchmax. There were several shots fired on both sides, and they followed each other in rapid succession. Some of them--those which he thought were fired by the watchman—sounded like shots from a revolver. It was the firing of the re volver that prevented more destruction than actually took place, and dispersed the attacking party. Wit ness did not know who set the shed on fire, but he threw some naphtha on the shed himself .The naphtha jar was not emptied, and it was left on the ground. The cases of outrage witness had mentioned were the only ones he remembered in connection with the Stockport union. llollaud Cheetham was next called, and previous to his examination he was cautioned by Mr. Barstow, who told him the commissioners had information that ha had been concerned in other outrages besides that for which he had been punished, and if he wished to obtain his certificate of indemnity he must reveal the whale truth without disguise or reservation.—Wit ness said ae was a brickmaker, and a member of the Stockport Union. In 1864, at the time of the outrage on Wild Ile was president. A. special meeting was held. Witness was in the chair. It was agreed at that meeting that Wild should bo beaten. Simp son's affair was also determined on at a special coun cil meeting, but witness was not present then. Heard of the resolution to destroy Simpson's property at a subsequent council meeting. These things were gene rally agreed to by two or three members of the coun cil when they got outside the council-room. lie be lieved £l5 was granted for Simpson's job. Witness had nothing to do with that affair, and did not know beforehand when it was to take place. Witness gave his consent to the payment for Simpson's affair, but had nothing to do with the actual payment. The FORGERIES ON THE BANK OF - ENGLAND. Yesterday, at the justice-room of the Mansion house, William Henry Hodgson, a young surgeon, who stands charged with forging transfers of stock with intent to defraud She Governor and Company of the Bank of England, appeared before Alderman Sir Robert Carden on remand for further exami nation. Mr. Freshfield, the solicitor to the Bank, 'again conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Wontner, jun., he defence. The prisoner had been, until about a year ago, an assistant to Mr. Pedler, a chemist, in Fleet-street, when he left to become a student at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. At Mr. Pedler's he had made the acquaintance of Mr. Wm. Whysall, a fellow assist ant, which he still kept up after going to St. Bartholomew's. In July last, Mr. Whysall, at his request, lent him the sums of £2 and £5 on dif ferent days. On the 10th of August, Mr. Whysall invested £225 in Three per Cent. Consols, and about ten days afterwards he casually met the prisoner in Oxford-street, who told him that he had £250, part of a sum of £2,000, which had been left him, and that he had been purchasing stock with the money. Mr. Whysall mentioned that he, too, had made an investment of that kind, and was, therefore, rather short of ready money, upon which the prisoner said that he would pay him £5, part of the £7 he had borrowed of him, and he did so. Learning in that incidental way that Mr. Whysall had a sum of £225 in the Three per Cents., the prisoner went direct to Mr. Roger Mortimer, a stockbroker, in Old Broad-street, and, stating that he was Mr. Whysall, authorised him to effect a transfer of the sum standing in his name in the books of the Bank of England. Mr. Mortimer, believing the story of the prisoner, who was a stranger to him, but taking care to have him identi fied at the same time, sold the stock that same afternoon, and the prisoner, after receiving a cheque from him for £212 15s. Gd., the proceeds of the sale, less the expenses, forged the name of Mr. Whysall to the transfer in the Bank books, and also to the stock receipt. With respect to the identification of the prisoner, it transpired that he had asked Mr. Mortimer, the stockbroker, to accompany him to a firm in Cornhill, to whom he was known,which he did, and that the firm iden tified him by his own name of Hodgson, Mr. Mor timer, by mistake, believing that they had identified him as Mr. Whysall. There was another charge against the prisoner. He had been a fellow assistant chemist with Mr. William James Bentley, at a shop in Pall-mall. Mr. Bentley had £l5O in the New Three per Cents., which he had invested in the autumn of 1861. The prisoner, who knew that, went to the office of Mr. Aston, a stockbroker, in Capel- court, on the 12th of August, and representing himself to be Mr. Bentley, the owner of the stock, instructed that gentleman to dispose of it for him forthwith. Mr. Aston sold the stock accordingly ; the prisoner was identified at the Bank of England as Mr. Bentley, through an act of deception by the prisoner upon Mr. Aston, and having signed the transfer and stock receipt in that name, and received from Mr. Aston, the stockbroker, a check for £l4l 12s. 3d., the pro ceeds of the sale, less the attendant expenses, the transaction was complete, the real owner, Mr. reason it was determined that Wild should be beaten Bentley, was defrauded of his money without even was that he was one of the men who returned to his knowledge, and the prisoner walked away with work at Messrs.

The prisoner was then committed to take his trial Joseph Brown, a brickmaker, and a member of upon both charges. the Stockport Union, was next examined. Had been a member of the Stockport Union 14 years, and during that time bad held nearly every office, except that of treasurer. Did not hear any discussion about Simpson's case, but after it was over Slater either paid the money for the job or told witness to book it. If the payment was entered in the book, witness Lein secretary, must have entered it as "sundry expenses." Witness had always spoken at the gene ral meetings against such things as Simpson's out rage. Witness was present at a meeting which was held for the purpose of discussing the intended out rage on Wild, but as he objected to what was tak ing place he sat on one side and did not hear the discussion. A resolution was passed, but witness did not remonstrate against it. Ile did not vote against the resolution, because he thought it would be foolish to vote against so many. The effect of the re solution was that Thomas Wild was to have a good thrashing for receiving turn out pay and going back to work before the other members of the union. Some men were to be appointed to thrash Wild, and Slater undertook to arrange with Kay about it. After Wild had been beaten witness paid £l4 to James Kay for the job. Slater should have paid the money, but was taken into custody. Witness and George Hahne were appointed to see Mr. Roberts, an attorney in Manchester, and employ him for the defence of Slater and Cheetham. lie met with Kay in Manchester, and Kay asked for pay for the outrage on Wild. Witness got the money from the landlord of the club-house and paid Kay. He after wards entered the payment in the union book as " sundry expense 3." Witness had been secretary several times, and had made many entries of " sundry expenses." When the payments for out rages were entered they were always put under that head, but all the entries of " sundry expenses" did not refer to trade outrages. The money paid for Cheetham and Slater's defence was also entered as " sundry expenses," and not as " law expenses." Witness had paid Mr. Roberts, the solicitor, nearly all the money the union had—about £lOO. Hoard the discussion previous to the destruction of Simp son's bricks. Was present when £5 was offered to kind if he would sign the petition for a commuta ion of the sentence on Cheetham and Slater. The inquiry was then adjourned. COUNTRY MARKETS.
