FATAL ACCTDENT TO A VoLUNTRER.—On Tuesday
evening an accident of • most lameutable nature hap-
pened at Harwich. Mr. Garland, the lord of the manor,
had offered • handsome silver cup for competitimi
among the members of the Volunteer Artillery, and •
preliminary meeting for ball practice with the ordinary
carbine took place upon the shore off Doverceurt.
Mr. Henry 'ox, • young man of 19, and the only son of
is highly esteemed widow lady, was of the party. He
had fired twelve rounds and made several points, when
lie was ordered again to advance in his proper turn.
The monsent ho stepped from the ranks his carbine
went nff, and he, after rpriuging some height from the
ground, fell at the feet of one of his comrades. It is
needless to say that the greatest alarm was oecasicinid.
When lie was raised it was discovered that the ball. had
entered his neck immediately behind the 'right ear' and
, escaped through the hack part of the skull, which was
frightfully shattered. Death had been instantaneous.
The body was immediately removed to • farmhouse
I close by. The cause of this melancholy occurrence has
not been definitively ascertained. but it is conjectured
that the young man, who was firing for the first time,
had imprudently brought his fireloek up to fell cock
before the proper time, and touched the trigger with his
trousers.
KLARIKOII, BURNT TO DRATR.—On Wednesday
afternoon, the 19th inst. • fire broke out in the train
whieh left the King-erou inst.,
London, at 12 o'clock
at noon, for the North, which resulted in the destruc-
tion f the celebrated racehorse Klarikoff. It appear"
' .that by this passenger train Klarikoff and several other
horses in the training of Mr. John Scott were leaving
their recent quarters at Lestherhead for Walton. The
train consisted, first, of the engine, then four horse-
boxes, followed by • horse-em, and the tail was made
•up by the passenger carriages and the guard's van.
Klarikoff was being conveyed in a van, which was
placed upon • truck, and • the animal was attended by
three stable boys, who occupied • spare compartment,
Another person, named Cliff, who had the superin-
tendence of the removal, rade tue the guard's van. The
train proceeded safely as farae'Retford, when the van
containing Kl•rikoff was examined and all found to be
safe. A few miles further northwards, and before
reaching the Bawtry station ono of the lads In the van,
and, in fact, the only one who was awake, was alarmed
by the smell of fire, and on looking to the upper portion
I of the front of the van he saw that it was in • blase.

He immediately seized the two rings attached to the
horse's tether, but the atirong breeze with which the
flames were fanned in the train's rapid progrese along
the line almost momentarily claimed the whole front of
the van to become oue mass of fire. The flames en-
veloped the head of Klarikoff, who kicked violently.
The lads made their escape to the front of the truck,
out of the way of the Mamie, and the horse's plunges
at length forcing out the side of the van the whole was
at once one mass of Ire. Some platelayers were at
length alarmed, and they drew the attention of the
engine driver to the fire. The train was stopped •
little north of Bawtry, and it was then found that the
van was consumed, the annual a mere cinder, and sotne
valuable goods in the van destroyed. The lads escaped
comparatively unhurt. A 'singular fact in connection
with this animal is, that whilst being conveyed to
Epsom in the same box van, a fire broke out therein,
but wee extinguished before any harm had been done.
It appears that the van it a very old and dry one, and
it is supposed that a spark from the engine had set it on
fire. The youths who were in the vacant stall were
examined on Wednesday morning in York, by the
railway authorities, with a view to arriving at the trim
moose, but nothing was stated to alter the general
supposition. The loss will prove • very severe one, not
only to Mr. Howard, but also to Lord St. Vincent, who,
two days prior to the Derby, gave 5,000 guineas for half
of him, with half of his engagements, and the
horse had latterly been backed for a large sum for the
Doncaster St. Leger.
DEISTRULTIVE Fla* AT • FLAX•MILL.—A. fire broke
out at the flax works of Messrs. Manniug and Cu.,
situate on the banks of the Trent, at Gainsborough, on
Tuesday night, the 18th inst., and before any effective
steps could be taken to stay the progress of the flames,
Use mill, containing 16 stocks and other machinery, and
a shed adjoining, containing 11 tons of tow and a
valuable machine, were completely gutted. Other parts
of the premises were also seriously damaged, and it was
only by great exertions that the flames, which spread
with lightning speed, owing to the inflammable nature
of the material, were kept from the other buildings,
and about 20 stacks of flax which immediately adjoined.
The cause of the fire is unknown. The damage done is
estimated at about £BOO or £XB.h, the whole of which is
covered by insurance. It will be remembered that the
works were completely burnt to the ground six months
ago, and they had only just got into thorough working
order when this second calamity fell upon the pro-
prietors.
A Doucza GETWITTED.—A short time ago a fanner,
resident • little distance from Kirby Stephen, had
a sheep died, and concocted a scheme whereby his
loss might he thrown on other shoulders than his own.
He took the dead carcase, put it over the fence, and
laid its head scrotal the metals of the railway ; the
train came by, aud cut the animal's head off. "Now,"
he says, "1 can get pay for my sheep ;" so he seta t
to the contractor and told his tale. But, 10, before the
fartuer's arrival, some workmen had seen the York-
shireman do the trick, and they instantly conveyed the
news to their master, and as soon as the fanner ni•de ,
his appearance and began to tell his tale, the storm I
was on, the poor farmer had to beat • hasty retreet,

HOCILTT FOR TUE PROPAGATION Or rut GOSPEL IN
Foam:: PARTS.—On Tuesday, the 18th inst., the
160th anniversary festival of the friends and supporters
of this society took place at St. Paul's Cathedral. The
Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs, and Common
Councilmen of the City were among those present.
The object of the society is to peemagate the Christian
religion among our countrymen and heathens abroad.
From North America its operations have gradually
extended to the West Indies, Australia, South Africa,
New Zealand, Ceylon, Borneo, and British Columbia.
When the society was first eatablished there were
probably not more than twenty clergymen of the
church of England in these lands. There are now
congregations under the pastoral care of upwards of
3,000 clergymen, four hundred of whom are aupported
by the society. The income for the past year amounted
to £91,237. An excellent sermon was preached in aid
of the charity by the Lord Bishop_of Ripon from the
Psalms 72, v. 17. The choirs from Westminster Abbey
and the Chapel Royal assisted the fit. Paul's choir, and
produced a most beautiful music:ail effect. After the
service a collection was male.

DEATH FROM A WORM IN THE DRAIN. —An inquest
was hold at the Walsall Workhouse • short time since,
on the body of Rachel Brady, 21 years of age, an
itiwate uf the workhouse, who was found dead in hod.
Dr. Burton, making the post suortem exainivation,
stated that on opening the head of the deceased he
found the veins distended with dark coloured blood.
There were no signs of recent inflammation, but in the
ventricles a quantity uf sanguineous matter was found,
