FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT THE NELSON COLFMN.—
On Saturday last an accident of a frightful nature occurred
at the Nelson column to a man named Daniel Allmond, a
labourer, which was nearly producing fatal results. It ap-
pears that a number of workmen were engaged in fixing the
grand bronze alto retierc tableau, representing England's
naval Iwo at the battle of St. Vincent, which will cover the
western side of the base, facing Cockspur-street, and for
which several hetes had been drilled in the granite block, to
receive the bolts by which the casting is to be kept in its
position. These bolts were being fastened in by boiling
lead, and Allmond was steadying one of them whilst the
lead was being poured in from the 'elect, which contained
about 12 pounds weight of it; and, alter nearly 10 pounds
had been run, a loud gust was heard, when the whole mass
instantly rushed out in a stream full upon him, going into
his month and eyes, and burning his face in a frightful
manner. His screams were heartrending, and he was
immediately conveyed to Charing-cross hospital, where,
upon examination, the above parts were found to be dread-
fully burnt, and his jacket and waistcoat were literally sol-
dered together, in which state they may now be seen at the
hospital. Proper remedies were applied, but the right eye
appears so much injured that his sight is likely to be im-
paired, whilst his face will he considerably marked. The
cause of the explosion of the boiling lead is said to be some
water in the cavity of the bole, which was instantaneously
converted into steam, thus producing the explosive power.
MONSTER MAIL To INDlA.—Yeaterdny morning
the largest known mail to India, oia Southampton, Greece,
the lonian Islands, &c., from the General Post-office, was
despatched from the Waterloo Terminus of the South-
Western Railway. It consisted of 173 boxes of letters, four
portmanteaus, and 16 bags of newpapen.
THE LATE CONTEST AT BEDFORD.—lmmediately
after the election fur the borough of Bedford, a subscrip-
tion was commenced to present a testimonial to Mr. T. C.
Anstey, expressive of their approbation of the principles of
reform which he advocated, and of his manly conduct
throughout the election. On Friday last, a numerous
meeting of subscribers unanimously determined to invite
that gentleman with some other to attend a public dinner,
to promote the principles of the Parliamentary and Finan-
cial Reform Association, which are more then ever felt to
be necessary by the conduct pursued at the recent elections
throughout the country.
ABERDEENSHIRE SALMON Fismr4t3B.—The fishing
came to a close on Tuesday. It has been anything but pro-
lific in this part of the country, either on the coast or in
the riven. The spring fishing commenced with every pro-
mise of success. For several months it was more prolifio
than it had been for some years. However, about the
month of May, it began to fall off. The smolt', which
made their appearance very early, were unusually numer-
ous. They began to run about the middle of April, and
early in June the grilse made their appearance in con-
siderable numbers, and in excellent condition for the season,
The fishermen were in expectation of a continuous supply,
and the productiveness of the fishings for a week or two
justified their anticipations. At some of the stations on the
Dee, the produce of occasional days was beyond anything
that had been seen on the river for nearly 20 years. The
continual droughts, however, soon brought a eonsidersble
change. There was not water enough in the rivers to
attract the fish, and the catch fell off daily ; and the latter
part of the season did not, in many instances, pay the work-
ing expenses. Up till the close of the season the fishier;
never improved to any extent, and the prices were higher
during the latter months than in the middle of the season.
