Gus ACCIDIINT.—On Friday afternoon week an acci-
dent of • most serious character happened to Yr. Wil-
liam Gibbons, a musical professor of Brighton, which
has resulted in the entire loss of the left hand and part
of the forearm. Mr. Gibbons was very fond of shoot-
ing, and on the day in question he took his gun and
proceeded to Goldstone Bottom, where after firing seve-
ral *hots, he wet a sheplienl, with whom he entered in-
to conversation, resting the butt of the gun on his foot,
and leaning with his left wrist over the muzzle. While
they were thus standing, • dog belonging to the shep-
herd kept playing about them, and it is supposed that he
must have come m contact with the trigger, causing the
gun to explode, and shattering Mr. Gibbons's hand in the
west frightful manner; in fact it was almost severed
from his ;inn. He was speedily conveyed to the
hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate time
arm below the elbow.
THZ PLAVGItoUND AND GCNZZAL RICCRIATION
*wit:Tr.—The annual general meeting of the friends
and supporters of this society was held on Wednesday
afternoon at Rooms, the Earl of Shaftesbury in
the chair. In opening the proceedings the noble chair-
man said that the business upon which they were met
required little explanation and less argument. The title
of the society alone was sufficient argument, and they
were there assembled to resolve the miuution how the
operations of the society might be best carried out.
There were two ways open to them. Sonic persons
advocated the intervention of Government, while others
considered that the objects in view ought to be accom-
plished by private assistance. He himself did not con-
sider this a case for Governmental interference, because,
while lie admitted tut the Government were hound to
'apply parks and to CM for all unitary imoroveinetits,
he thought that private aiuuseinents awl recreation
ought to originate with and be carried out by private
individuals. Everyone who had OCCSAIOII to walk
through the crowded streets of the metropolis must have
seen how necessary it was that the numbers of young
children of the pourer classes should hive some place
free (ruin the fetid odours of damp lodgings and narrow
alleys, where they could play without risk to theiuselves
and annoyance to the passers-by. A proper amount of
play an I exercise was essential to the health and full
development of the body, mid necessary to strenzthen
the capacities of the mind to receive the benefits of
education. But not only physically was it of great
iinpurtanoe that children should hove proper play hours
and proper pley grounds, but also on moral ;rowels,
as tl.ey would be kept in a better frame of mind and
temper. How he asked was such an end to be &oasis-
'dished ? It was easy enough to obt sin land for play-
grounds in the suburbs, but in the centre of • large city,
where every inch of land was valuable, it was an almost
insuperable difficulty. Avery liberal proposition had
been Lamle to the society by the Mmrquis of Wesitinin-
ster. Time noble inatquis proposed to devote an acre of
ground near St. Barnabas at • uteninal rent of about
sixpence a year, for tlme purpose of forming a play-
ground. If the society accepted the offer they would
have to limit the land in proper oiler and to build • small
house upon it for the se of the keeper. Of course,
this could not be done without fund,. In ulvocatinz a
liberal subscription he mail thot by the contribution of a
6111.111 suiu a very large amount of inoral iiipniveinent
might be effected in the condition of young children,
and that those who contributed would gofer to abate these
evils which were a degradation to tins country and to
the releiion which we professed. Ile West, the secre-
tary, then read the report. from which it appeared that
the society had been most active in its efforts to obtain
I a site for a playground in the metropolis, and had at
length found one well adapted for their purpose in a
thickly peopled part of Camden-town; and that arrange-
ments were now in progress for its purchase. The com-
mittee hash also called the attention of the Government
to the advantage of retaining part of Smithfield open,
and had received an assurance from the Chancellor of
the Exchequer that the pert belonging to the Crown
should be preserved in an open condition. A request to
the First Cominissioner of Works, that a portion of
each metropolitan Park should be enclosed and made
available fur school treats under the superintendence of
• park-keeper, wet with the mute ready acquiescence.
Communications had likcwiee been addressed by the
committee to the mayors of large country towns,
solicit-
iiig them to hold public meetings in aid of the objects of
the society. The report concluded by thanking the
press for its effective and unsolicited efforts in forward-
ing the (muse. The report was adopted unanimously,
and various resolutions were palmed, after which • vote
of thanks to the Chairman terminated the proceedings.
