PORTLAND.
ACCIDENT. —Yr. fiketehley, formerly of Weymouth,
has lately started • new eawatill near the Rail way
Station. fie was there on Tuesday evening, stipule.
tending the unloading of some timber, and as the men
were slinging • barge baulk, SAW) person ',eked Mr.
Skrohlay • gumption respecting another matter of
harness. Thie attracted his attention, and be turned
his heed end forgot the baulk, whir caught his right
foot and bruised it against the metals. Dr. Carruthers
was sent for, sad promptly &needed the injured men,
who be found had a I ria flesh wound and severe con.
tutu ; but the foot was too much swollen to ascertain
if any bones had been broken.
Hoene FALL/NO OVER • CLINE'
Recaps.—Oa Toesday ternoon, Mr. John Words
waggon and ram of 8 hones were going round Priory
corner. Owing to the wet weather, the roads were very
slippery, and the new break did not act. The lead
came violently spinet • quantity of stones and jerked
the shaft animal, a powerful mars, right out of the
shafts, over the cliff. As she fell the harness parted,
and the rest of the team were left on the rood; but
the more fell 40 ft. sheer on • mats of rubbish, Lei
throe fell and rolled some hundred feet to the bottom.
The? remaining horses were hitched on and went to
the Station with the load, and the mare was got up
from the usidereliff. She, of rune, bad some bruises,
but none of them appear serious, end the animal which
Mr. Ward velar at £4O, does not seem mar the worse
for her extraordinary fall over Priory cliff.
Tan FAST Won Gurn—One of the mare. 9-inch
gnu mounted at the Rut Weir batteries, was fired on
Friday in the presence of General Adie, Inspector-
general of A:Lille/LT, and other distinguished officers
and gentlemen forming • committee from the W•r
Office, also of Lieuteuent-Oolonel Redfield, R.K.
Fergtuon, RAI., Lieutenant Lived. R.L. and Captain
!keen, R.A. fibs rounds of 50Ib. of pebble powder,
end 25001. shots, constituting • bettering eharge, were
fired. liverything was perfeetly erisfamptory, and the
batteries were proved to have been constructed remark-
ably well. They are to be armed with 139 inch guns,
and seven 10-Inch guns, and will form • most powerful
defence to this pad of the soar The recoil and con.
carom were nothing more than ordinary, and is far
the reports were thought little of In Fottaamis Well,
being simnel, heard. Non-militemy readers who are
afraid of the discharge of the greet guns should know
that the " pebble " powder errors for less attain on
a eennon than that of • smaller grain whir we formerly
used, but whir warn called "brutal " by our Continent
friends. The pebble powder is about the else of small
flat beans.
