FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT TO ARTILLERYMEN.

At the grand field day and sham fight of the
Devon Artillery and Riflemen, which took place on Monday
at Woodbury-common, a frightful accident occurred to two
artilleryman, belonging to No. 1 gun of erptaiu Brent's
Battery. Denied Adam Bradbeer mid John Denscombe.
While ell were admiring and applauding the fine, manly
spirit with which the combatants were fighting, the
gunuen in question must have become so excited
that by some strange oversight they forgot to keep
the sponge wet. While ramming home the charge
and acting as Nos. 2 and 3, the piece suddenly exploded,
and in an inetant a dreadful sight preseated Haan, which
cast a deep gloom over the net of the proceedings. When
the smoke cleared away the two men were seen lying
right and left on the ground, and from the fact of their
firing without omen the officers went to the front. Then
upon raising then, the dreadful fact disclosed itself. John
Denscombe, No. 3, was frightfully injured. The ramrod
in poring out had shattered his right arm to roma, and
the wadding had completely smashed in his face, which
was horribly disfigured with blood and powder. Bradbeer
was seriously injured, but the extent, is the excitement sod
crowd, could out be ascertained. A guard was formed
round the wounded men. and Dr. Fox, Dr. Buckoill, Dr.
Brent (captain), and other mediae' gentleman, instantly
did all they could for the brave fellow, who, notwith-
standing the severity of his sufferings, Dever uttered a

to the Devoe Hospital at Exeter. The rainmad struck
the 'mead jest is frost of the ribs., who were kneeling,
and was ehivered to pieces, a fragment wounding a rifleman
metedilaeders, of the lad eompany, in the forehead. The
onastereatem which this melancholy accident caused may
be easily imagined. All parties present sympathised par.
titularly with the two artillerymen, who, we understand,
are in the employ of Sir Trayten Drake, Denscombe having
• wife and seven eluldren. Captain Henery, government
inspector, wanes the ground at the time.

MILITARY /RA OAS.
GREAT YARMOUTH, TCPADAT Moinnire.
Last night the town was thrown into • state of
the gesaMM excitement be a broil batman the Royal
Arlberg end the its/ licifolk Militia, which at Gas
time threatened* be at a magoleary cheracter. Of the
femme regiment there am about 400 statlimed hem at
the floottitown Barracks, and of the latter nearly 800
who bad been caned up fee their annual drill, who are
bitlettei among the pubbenas in the usual massee. On
iiiiturday night • sqsisals leek plass between a few of
each regiment,a lnmdnB of mane in • public-house.
Oe the following rasing the quarrel was followed by •
large body of men on each aide, which was, however, rap-
arerd the pickets, but on Monday evening, Mand-
1, at several parts of the town, the row was taken
up hr increasing numbers. Who were the &amnion it is
difiliult to say, hut the militia, who wear their belts,
contrived to inflict some severe wounds ou their oppo-
nents, who were commratively unprotectial. The news
dew to the barracks that the 'Millers, wen being mur-
dered W the red/oats, and in a few minutes upwards of
a bemired men, armed with their sabres, rushed like
wild men dowse the Southtorrn-mad toward" Yarmouth
to avenge their comrades. As many of the sergeant'
who were within doors headed the men, as they were
utterly unable to oontrui them, but not a single conx
missinned officer, though their quarters ore situated
sons in the barrack.yard and others in class contiguity,
was present. Within about a hundred yards of the
bridge which crease* into the town, the infuriated
soldiery were met by Mr. Robert Steward, one of
the local niagistratea, who, cognisant of the state of
things on the other Mile of the water, contrived to keep
the men in check hr holding perky with the sergeants
• few minutes. finding there was no commissioned
diem present, he told the sergeants to order their
MSS back, and hid them en IS the bridge at their
The sergeants replied that it was impossible foe
to keep their mea in check, and the latter, be-
aconing impatient, grasped their sword handles, and, with
a wiM shout, preened forward to the bridge, carrying all
before them. At this time several thousand civilians hed
congregated on the spot, who fled before the soldiers in
every direction, spreading terror in the neighbourhood,
as it now teemed certain, from the excited manlier of the
soldiers, that they would cross into the town, and cocoa
in collision with the militia. The "emeriti, however,
by desperate exertion*, rnenaged to bring them
midway on the bridge, some of them having to rush
la hoot with drawn swords to drive back the
advancing column. Here Mr. Steward and others of the
local authorities again interposed, but in spite of
their utmost exertions, the artillery crowded forward
with loud cries demanding to be led against the militia,
and sent the the t-rrided civilians dying before them. But
the sergeants onto more succeeded in forcing them back,
sad at the last moment ono of the officers appeared, by
whom aid the men wen ultimately induced to rotors to
larracks. The artillery. up to the appearance of the militia
in the town, were a very orderly and welloooducted set of
Ines, while the militia are known to be exceedingly quar-
relsome, having for years past had • row with every recd.
meet which happened to be stationed in the town when
they were tailed up. As most of them have another fort-
night's drill to undergo, the
_grestest apprehension prevails
in town lest this fracas, which has assumed so serous an
aminet, should end yet more seriously.—Bury and Norwich
Poe.
