WOOLWICH, OCT. 23.
SF.1:101:8 ACcIUENT TO SOLDIERS. Yesterday
morning au accident of a somewhat serious nature uocurred
to several gunners of Loyal Horse Artillery, whilst that
force was engaged at practice on Woolwicb-ccmmon. It
appears that one of the batteries was proceeding at full
speed when one of the horses tripped and fell, cauaiog six
other horses to fall also, sod their nders were thrown with
cousidemble violates. The Armstrong gun and oaring.,
drawn by right horses, which was in the rear, could not be
arrested in its progress until it swept over th• prostrate
mea and horses, sod it ia most estraordioary that the result
was not fatal As it was, Gamer Pops received very severs
injuries to his bea.l, with laceration to one hand and foot, And
bra others ware more or leas injured. Gunner Pope and two
gunners were removed to the }loyal Herbert Hospital

THE rilsHOP or OXPOICD ON CIIVRCH BCILDINO
AND RzsroturoN. —On Friday festival services were held
at Great Yarmouth to celebrate the partial restoration ad
the fine old parish church of St. Nichelea, which is aid to
ha, with one exceptiou, the largest parochial structure in
the kingdom. At a luncheon' which took place at the
Town.hisll is the afternoom, and over which the Mayor pre-
sided, the Bishop of iixErd, in reapoodiog to the toast of
his health, maid—l can assure you that the cause which
ye have in hand in Yarmouth is one as to which I have
the deepest interest. in which I have the warmest sym-
pathy. I believe that the restoration—the thorough restora-
tion of a grand old church like this—doss far more than
make that particular church fit for the services—the very
high services to which it is devoted. I believe that
everything like grandeur of offerings, magnificence in
dorogs, real iselfaeorifice in each works as these,
is • thing which lifts up an example before the
eyes of meo, which others not unreadily, th,ok GA, imi-
tate. 1 believe that the day of betildiag • multitude of
cheap, poor, miserable churches, has passed away. And I
think its passing away • great public beaelit ; not that it is
not far better to have the poorest church wi th • living ministry
than to have souls untaught, but it is for this ransom I think
it better—that I believe the effect of building poor and
miserable churches is to damp the zeal and to prevent the
building of soother, and that the building of • line church,
or the magnibosot restoring of an ancient one, is like sow-
ing broadcast the good seed, and that it multiplii s other
churches for the wants of the growing population ; and
so 1 thick the work you have undertaken here promises to
bring about not only the restoration of the fabric, but
gives that for which the fabric after all is raised—the
living ministry of Christ, with the gifts of grace which He
mercifully bestows through it.

LONDON A @TILLERIC BRIO ADE (IST CITY OF
LONDON A writtray YOU:STUNS. ) —This brigade of volun-
teer artillery had a march out on Saturday lest, and quite
enlivened with the excellent playing of their two bands the
neighbourhood of Paddiogtoo and St. John's Wood, whop°,

spected in November, by which time an adjutant will
probably have hose appointed to the brigade. and the mem-
bers of all ranks are giving strict attention to the prelimi-
nary gun and battalion dna.. The gun and carbine prac-
tice. made by the members are very satisfactory, mid coosi-
drab's) interest is evinced by the members in both prac-
tices. The corps now possesses a very convenient orderly
room at Old Swsn•laee, Loodon.bridge, and greet praise r
due to Deputy Quartermaster Russell for the taste he hag
displayed in the amogemeot of the military decoratious of
the orderly-rocm, presenting as they do quite an attraction.
