tion of • couple of thalciiiii cottages. It is supposed to
have occurred whilst some brewing operations were going
on. It was rather singular that the cry of lire resounded
throughout the village, just sea number ef men, who were
having their lunch, were gossiping about the lire which
had occurred there two years ago. The Dorchester fire
brigade, under command of Superintendent Coward; and
Superintendent Batty, and a number of the constabularly
were promptly on the spot, but, the dames bed 'burnt ver7
fietcsly, and the cottages were gutted The furniture WU
all saved. The hooseselonged to Yr. St. John, of Oehler,
Beaingstoke, and were lead at about .9400, but they
were not insured. A remarkable part of the adair is that
• fuel house, attached to the dwellings, and covered with
Match, was not destroyed. Fortunately there were no
houses within several yards of those destroyed, and tho•
the &awe were prevented extending.

FATAL EXPLOSION ON BOARD H.M.S. HYDRA.
At Plymouth on Friday a fearful accident happened to
a chief officer and an engine-room artificer. The Hydra
turret ship was in Keyham Basin, preparing for • steam
trial, when about 11 &Awl, whilst all hands were busily
engaged with their respective duties in the engine-room
and stokehole, a startling explosion was heard, alarming
all on board, and causing the utmost confusion. The force
of the explosion knocked down some of the stokers into
the stoke-hole, whilst others were sent flying on to the
engines, and Mr. (parks, chief engineer, • gentlemen
highly esteemed in the Navy, was so terribly scalded that
death must have been almost instantaneous. An engine.
room artificer earned Parnell was so badly scaled about
the hands and arms that it will be a considerable time
before he will again be able to use them in the slightest
degree. A stoker was also severely scalded, but not to
such an extent u Hr. Parnell. Both these poor fellows
were attended by the surgeon in the yard and afterwards
removed Inc cab to the Royal Naval Hospital, Stonebouse.
As an instance of the force of the exploeion, it may be
dated that twenty minutes elapsed before the body of
Mr. Clarke wu discovered, it having been thrown into
the stokehole from the engine-room.
