WOOLWICH, Oct 29.
A 'statement which reoently appeared, to the
effect that the War Department had suspended the further
'menu( Armstrong guns until an investi,;ution has been made
as to their alleged defects, ►pplies to those heavy guns in-
tended for the naval service, someof which will be returned
forcertais improvements, especially with regard to the yenta.
A considerable number of new guns recently manufactured
have tins week been subjected to proof at the government
practice range with complete success. Pending the removal
of acknowledged defects, which it is stated can be remedied,
and other experiments to test the efficiency of Armstrong
guns and shells, the great activity which has hitherto
prevailed iu this department has slackened, and this day a
number of workmen were suspended.

ACCIDENT IN THE HUNTING FIELD.—On TUGS-
day, last week, a serious accident happened to a young gen-
tians's lamed Eyre. son of Majordleneral Eyre, of Chatham
Barracks, and grandson of Me,. Allgood, of the Hermitage,
HOZ11•12. On the day named, it seems that while the
Tyndale hounds were drawing a cover at Bywell, the young
gentleman's hone became impatient, and reared on his hind
legs, and on being checked by his rider, he came hack over;
but fortunately the animal, instead of falling upon Mr.
E) re's bidy, fell across his thigh and arni, the letter of
which was broken near the wrist, the former escaping with
a severe bruise. It wits also fortunate that the accident
happened in a ploughed field. Under theiskillul treatment
of Dr. Nicholson, Mr. Eyre is II vary satisfac-
torily, and is able to move about with his arm in a
Newcastle CAronirle.

FATAL OxNinrs ACCIDENT.—A protracted in-
vestigation took place last evening, at the Lord Wellington
Tavern, Samex.street, Tottenbam-eourt.road, touching
the death of Winnifred Catherine James, aged 18, residing
at 2, Henry-street, Hampstead-road, caused through being
run over by an omnibus plying between Westminster Abbey
and Haverstock-hiU. According to the evidence of a num-
ber of witnesses it appeared that shortly before twelve
o'clock on Saturday night, the deceased, in company with
two other females, was in the set of crossing the road, near
the corner of Euston.road, wino she was knocked down, and
both off wheels of the omnibus passed over her body. She
was instantly removed to University College Hospital,
where she expired from loss of blood, from frightful inter.
Dal injuries and fractures of several ribs, between two and
three hours afterwarihi. A long discussion took place on the
conduct of the officials of the hospital, arisingeut of a charge
made by the father of the deceased, Mr. Janies,who maid not-
withstanding that he had civilly applied on three different
days since the distressing occurrence to see his daughter, he
had been refused on each occasion, and had not seen her
yet, Several of the officers were specially called before the
coroner in reference to this charge. The jury first unani-
mously returned a verdict of accidental death, and after
much debating twelve out of fifteen jurymen decided to ap-
pend the foUowing :—"That we, the jurors, think that the
conduct of some of the oaken at this hospital in refusing
admission to the father to see hie daughter after three ap-
plications, should be reported to the governors of the in-
*Motion."

FATAL ACCIDENT TO • GENTLEMAN WHIM
BATMING.—A very sad accident, which terminated fatally,
took place on Saturday at Weston•super.Mare. Mr. Junes.
of No. 6, Pembroke place, Clifton, who was about 40 yeas
of age, had been staying at Um. Wookefs, the Beth Hotel,
Weldon, for the last week, and on Saturday morning he left
the hotel about half-put eight o'clock for the palpate of
going to bathe, at therms time mentioning to Mrs. 11 ookey
that be should return about ten. About eleven, as Mr.
Damnifies and his schixibboys were going to bathe in a cove
round the Kewstoke.road, they perceived the body of Mr.
Jones lying upon the rocks, quite dam!, and very much
bruised about the legs and shoulders. A home in the head
was also fractured. It was apparent that the unfortunate
gentleman must have dived into the water, and that his
head had come in contact with the rocks, thereby causing
his death. An inquest has been held, when a verdict of
"Accidentally killed whilst bathing" was returned.
THIS YELVERTuN MARRIAGE CARL —Yeaterti3y,
nt the Palatine lintel, Mauchceter, Mr. John Cay, the
sheriff of Linlitligew, acting u cummisaiimer from the Scot-
tish Court of Session, heard evidence in the suit now pend-
ing in ficethind far the dissolution of Major Yelverton's mar-
riage with Miss Loegworth. The depositions of four wit-
nesses resident is Manchester, via., Thomas Barton, Richard
Stephenson, Thorne.' Lbtoiol, and George Campbell, see.,
are held to be requisite. Mr. J. Millar, advocate, and Mr.
P. Adam, solicitor, were present for Major Yelverton ; and
Mr. D. B. Hope, advocate, amend for Mrs. Yelverton.
The proceedings lasted several Lours, end we're, as usual,
conducted privately. It has been freely conjectured that
the testimony elicited would have reference to circumstances
connected with Ms. Yelvertou'e life before her inarriago,
and which is said to have bees permed chiefly in the neigh-
bourhood of Manchester ; but all suppositions as to matters
not stated is an open court are likely enough to be deceptive
and injurious..
