THE SIEGE OPIIMATIONS AT CHATHAM.—The
Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, Prince Arthur Prince Louis
of Hesse, end the Duke of Cambridp,esflatdday witzeoed
the close of a eueossful siege at - Chatham. The whole
programme of the proosedinp bed been caret ally prepared
with • view to show what, in everything but the casualties,
would have been the action and result of a contest between
besieged and besiegers. The weather warn most propitious,
the company select rather than numerous, and the move-
ments of the attacking end defending forces poisoned much
more of oovely than those of the marchings sod counter-
marching@ of the ordinary field days, whether of the regular
troops or the volunteers. The localityover which the opera
tkins extended was that portion of the fortifications around
Chatham a blob extend te the Medway at St. Mary's
Creek. The arrangements made for the accommo-
dation of a large camber of spectator, were such
as to admit of the whole of the movements on both sides
being seen and followed without difficulty. The members
of the royal family and • select party were provided with
oats on the bastion overlooking St. Mary's Creek ; another
and • larger party wereacoommodated upon a bastion close
by. These who were not provided with tickets to either of
these places could watch the proceedings from the site of
the old Gillingham martello tower, the east end of St
Mary's island, and the road facing the lines at New Stomp.
ten. The royal party travailed by train on the London,
Chatham, and De-wee Railway from the Victoria station, and
arrived at the Sromptoo-barracks shortly after one
o'clock, where a luncheon was provided. They were
conducted round the whole of the lines of attack
and defence before the commenoement of the opera-
tions, and the nature of the intended movements was ex-
plained by the officers in charge. The ground was kept by
a detachment of Lancers, and a guard of honour was formed
at the railway station by the Royal Marines. The Prince of
Wales and his party were received at the Victoria station,
Pimlico, by Mr. Forbes, the manager of the London, Chat-
ham. and Dover Railway and Mr. Bishop and Mr. Motley
had charge of the royal 'train. The Prime of Wales wore
the undress uniform of a boners' officer, Prince Alfred the
naval dress, Prince Arthur was in Highland costume, and
Prince Louis of Hesse wore the dark bias uniform and
helmet of the Prussian service.

ACCID/CIT TO • VoLcNitaz.—An interesting
volunteer brigade field-day, under the command of Colonel
M'Murdo, Inspector-General of Volunteers, took plan on
Saturday at Panshanger.park, Harts, the seat of Fail I
Cowper, in the presence of a number of friends of the noble
earl, among whom were the Countess Cowper, the Ladies I
Florence, Adam, and Amabel Cowper, the Hon. '
Cowper (Chief Commissioner of Works), the Hon. and Rev.
Mr. Hastings, a large number of the gentry, and an im-
mane concourse of spectators. The proceedings, with the I
exception of • serious accident to one of the volunteers,
passed off most satisfactorily. While, however, the men
were ,:barging and capturing a bridge over the I
lake with fixed bayonets, one of the Queen's
(Weetminsters): was observed to fall in the racks
on the bridge, and it was with the greatest difficulty
his comrades avoided trampling on him. On being raised
it was discovered he had received • most frightful
w•und, it is believed from the bayonet of his comrade to. 1
inediately in rear of him, who had his rifle on the slope
sad also stumbled. The unfortunate man, whose name is I
Adams, and who is • member of No. 8 Company (Breed-
wood's) having been carried to the side of the Irks and laid
on the gram, appeared in a fainting, and it was at lint
supposed dying condition. It was thought, from
the quantity of blood, that the bayonet had entered
the abdomen. Drs. Cross and Leonard, surgeons of the
regiment, were, however, speedily on the spot, and
having all the neptetary surgical appliances ready on
the field, at once proceeded to probe the wound, and make '
an examination. It was then discovered that instead of
passing upward it had fortunately pared in a lateral direc-
tion, completely through the thick part of the thigh, close
to the groin, and within, it is stated, • distaace of not
thicker than • penny piece from the femoral artery. Having
administered stimulants, the poor man revived, and the
wound being
.properly dressed, a light cart was procured to
convey him to the Hertford County Hospital, but having a
wife and six children be begged to be brought to town, and I
was conveyed to the station to charge of some of his com-
rades. The wound is considered of • very serious if not
dangerous character, but he bore it with great fortitude,
and on reselling Kings-our was placed in a cab and coo.
veyed to his residence.
MELANCHOLY AND FATAL Gr:q ACCIDENT.—A sad
and fatal accident betel the Rev, J. P. Nome, vicar of
Clanfield, Ogoo, who on the 3rd lost. had returned home
from Langford, in company with his eldest son, the latter
having • loaded gun in his hand ' • deceased, with a broom-
stick which he found behind the kitchen door, commenced
fencing with his son and struck the gun, which exploded,
'lodging the contents of the gun in the shoulder of Mr.
Pensou, sen. On Lb. following Tuesday it was found nonce-
wary to amputate the arm, which was carefully removed at
I the shoulder, and although attended by the best medical
'.skill of the neighbourhood, the rev, gentleman sunk under
the effects of the accident. On his death be said, "If I
• it was my fault that the accident occurred." Coro-
ner's inquest—" Accidental death."
Haulm/I.'4,aq' AND CITY R•ILWAY. —Tbis line
has been examined and approved by the inspecting officer
appointed by the Board of Trade, •and will be opeoed for I
public traffic to-day. The line forms • junction with the I
Great Western Railway, and commences at Green-lane,
about one mile from the Paddington station, passing by
Nottiug-hill and Shepherd's-bush, terminating at the
Broadway at Hammersmith, and a short branch,
forming • Janet= with the West Loodas Railway,
gives apneas to Kensington and the districts south
of the Thames. The Hammersmith and City Railway will
be the means of affording direct access from :be City at
Farringdonetreet (and all the statioes on the Metropolitan
Railway) to Notting-hill, Kensington, Shepherd's bush, and
Hammersmith • and by an efficient omnibus service, which
we understand has been organised to run from Hammer-
smith station to Turaham.green, Kew, and Richmond, pew
!isogon from the City will, by using this line, be able to
reach these pleas of resort in much less time than by the
present routes. The line belongs to an independent ma.
parry, who obtained their act in 1861 ; but we
understand that arrangements have been entered
into by which the traffic will be worked by the
Great Western Company, who will use their running
powers ever the Metropolitan lice, so that the trains will
run direct between Hammersmith aced the City without
change. Half-hourly trains each way, from a.m. till
ten p.m., at fares booed oo an exceedingly low scale of
charge, ere inducements to travel, whit* we doubt not the
public will take every advantage of. The entire length of
the line is about three miles, and of this some 3,000 yards
are on a viaduct constructed entirely of brickwork, of an
average height of about 33 feet. There we three stations ea
