Defies low water careful levels have been taken of the
ways on which the ship is fixed, and the deflection is stated
to he so tellies as to be scarcely more than the eighth
of en inch—a deviation which, in such a length of way,
is literally est worth considering as rapids the
safety of the yeses/. Nothing whatever eau be done
to Isnech har till Saturday next, when all the efforts
then to be made will be assisted by the high spring tides.
It leaflet, however, be concealed that the operation
be one of difficulty, sad even possibly of daopr. The
stern, as the vessel at present lies, is sot waterborne,
while the bows are high and dry. Fortunately the ship
I regains straight upon the ways, and the create, which ate
of immense solidity, keep her firm. In addition to this.
however, she has been shored up on both sides to avoid
the chases of accident. It ie intended on Saturday
to endeavour to float her by moos of large
lighters, which will be secured by chains on either
Bide of the stern before the high spring tides, sod
which by their buoyancy may lift her off when the
is highest. Three powerful hydranlie presses are
telfixed at hew bows to start her from the position in
wh she so unfortunately stopped. Hawsers are also to
be taken across the river to powerful capstans, which will
he imply manned, and, in addition to all, the services of
many powerful stesmthp are secured to bring this great
motionely Into the water. The only Feat via of the
is that in lifting the stern the Northumber-
land may twist across the ways, is which cabs the cense-
queues may be disastrous, not only to the vessel, but to
say who are too near her. The operation of lifting her
will undoubtedly be most *eternities in a meekanical point
of view, and we moat earnestly hope that it may be sue-

FATAL ACCIDENT AT WOOLWICH. —A distressing
incident occurred yesterday morning at Woolwich, by which
