FATAL ACCIDENT IN SHOOTING.

Much excitement was manifested last night in Black
friars-road, on the announcement, by telegraph, that
Mr. Shepherd of the Oxford Arms, Westminster-re ad,
and brother of Mr. Richard Shepherd, joint lessee of the
Royal Surrey Theatre, had been shot accidentally by
Mr. Creswick, the other lessee of the theatre, which soon
received confirmation by placards posted up at the
entrances of the theatre, and of which the following is a
copy :
"Royal Surrey Theatre, Sept. 21.
"In consequence of a sudden domesticcalantity in the
family of Mr. Shepherd, the theatre will be closed until
Monday, Sept. 24."
It appeared from inquiries made, that Mr. Creswick,
Mr. Richard Shepherd, the lessee, and Mr Solin Shep-
herd, his brother, were in the neighbourhood of Reigate,
in a field, enjoying the diversion of shooting.; and while
passing down the field Mr. Creswick and Mr. Richard
Shepherd were on one side the hedge, and the deceased.
Mr. John Shepherd, on the other. Mr. Creswick was
carrying a double-barrelled gun, which was loaded, and,
as a matter of precaution, he stopped for a short time to
put down the hammers upon the nipples. He had
placed the gun across his knee for that purpose, and had
lowered one of the hammers, but before he could lower
the other, the barrel went off, and Mr. John Shepherd,
who unfortunately at the moment was passing a gap in
the hedge, received the whole of the contents in the
side of the neck, when he fell, never uttered a cry or
groan, and instantly expired. As soon as the fatal truth
was revealed, nothing could exceed the grief of Mr.
Creswick and that of the brother of the unfortunate
man, and as soon as they could reach Reigate medical
assistance was obtained, but the fatal work had been
accomplished beyond all aid. The news was imme-
diately telegraphed to London, to the friends of the de-
ceased, whereupon the theatre was ordered immediately
to be closed. The body, of course, cannot be removed
until a coroner's inquiry has taken place into the trans-
action.

OFFICIAL ACCOUNT

OF THE

CAPTURE OF SEBASTOPOL.

GEN. SIMPSON'S DESPATCH.

WAR DEPARTMENT, SEPT. 22.

Major the Hon. Leicester Curzon arrived this
morning with a despatch from General Simpson
to Lord Panmure, of which the following is a

copy :

BEFORE SEBASTOPOL,
SEPT. 9, 1855.

My Lord,—l had the honour to apprise your
lordship in my despatch of the 14th inst. that
the engineer and artillery officers of the Allied
Armies had laid before General Pelissier and my-
self a report recommending that the assault should
be given on the Bth inst., after a heavy fire had
been kept up for three days.
This arrangement I agreed to, and I have to
congratulate your lordship on the glorious results
of the attack of yesterday, which has ended in the
possession of the town, dockyards, and public
buildings, and destruction of the last ships of the
Russian fleet in the Black Sea. Three steamers
alone remain, and the speedy capture or sinking
of these must speedily follow.

It was arranged that at twelve o'clock in the
day the French columns of assault were to leave
their trenches, and take possession of the Mala-
khoff and adjacent works. After their success
had been assured, and they were fairly established,
the Redan was to be assaulted by the English ;
the Bastion, Central, and Quarantine Forts, on
the left, were simultaneously to be attacked by
the French.

At the hour appointed our Allies quitted their
trenches, entered and carried the apparently im-
pregnable defences of the Malakhoff with that im-
petuous valour which characterises the French
attack ; and, having once obtained possession,
they were never dislodged.

The tricolour planted on tho parapet was the
signal for our troops to advance.

The arrangements for the attack I entrusted to
Lieutenant-General Sir William Codrington, who
carried out the details in concert with Lieutenant-
General Markham,

I determined that the Second and Light Divi-
sions should have the honour of the assault, from
the circumstance of their having •defended the
batteries and approaches against the Redan for so
many months, and from the intimate knowledge
they possessed of the ground.
The fire of our artillery having made as much
of a breach as possible in the salient of the Redan,
I decided that the columns of assault should be
directed against that part, as being less exposed
.to the heavy flanking fire by which this work is
protected.
It was arranged between Sir W. Codrington
and Lieut.-General Markham that the assaulting
column of 1,000 men should be formed by equal
numbers of these two divisions, the column of the
Light Division to lead, that of the 2d to follow.

"; Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first

cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any

and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

RUSSIA.

The Russian Invalid states that the late Admiral
Kornilow having left an unpaid mortgage of 7,569
silver roubles on his property at Sebastopol, the
Czar has ordered a sum of 20,000 silver roubles to
be paid to the admiral's widow, for the purpose of
paying her late husband's debts. The library of
the Black Sea fleet having been damaged by shells,
the Czar has directed the sum of 25,000 silver
roubles to be accorded for repairs.
A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, at
Odessa, writes that Prince Menschikoff, having
received considerable reinforcements, estimated at
25,000 men, including the Bth division, 3d oorps,
has determined to resume the offensive, and make
another general attack on the Anglo-French lines,
immediately after the return of the two Grand
Dukes, for whose special edification this spectacle
is razor-rod.

YEW GENERAL MAP OF EUROPE.

The Messrs. Blackwood have just issued a General
Map of Europe-3i ft. by 41, mounted—in their

from the best authorities by
,A. Keith Johnston,
F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., ct7c., Geographer to the
Queen, and comprises the latest additions and rec-
tifications, of the accuracy of which Mr. Johnston's
name is a sufficient guarantee. Sea and railway
routes, with the distances of th• former, are dis-
tinctly laid down—heights and distances are given
in English feet and miles fortified towns are
boldly marked, and the dates of important battles,
up to the latest period, are presented in immediate
contact with the localities in which they were
fought. The map is an exceedingly valuable one,
and, in the present complex state of our foreign
relations, may be consulted with advantage by all,
and is therefore likely to meet, as it deserves, with
1 a large rountuarative pale.

THE TRANSPORT SERVICE.

The Royal mail steam-ship Severn, chartered by the
English Government, and fitted at Southampton, under
the superintendence of Captain Vincent, as an hospital
ship, is quite ready for sea. No orders have yet been
received at that port in reference to her departure, but
it is understood that she will be despatched to Ireland
to embark an infantry regiment for the Crimea. The
General Screw Company's steam-ship Crcesus came out
of the graving dock at Southampton on Wednesday.
She is also awaiting orders from the Admiralty.
The Rajah hired steam transport, No. 181, left Ports-
mouth harbour yesterday noon with some of the remain-
ing wooden huts for the troops and a large quantity of
stores, also a good moiety of the contributions from
private sources for the troops, sent from Messrs. Hay ter
and Howell and Fortnum an Mason's.

The contractors for the wooden houses required by
the French Government have completed their contract
within the prescribed time. The whole of them, 2,362,
to shelter 70,860 men, have been sent in, and the Rajah
steamer has just shipped the last portion at South-
ampton to convey them to the Crimea.
The Jane May, transport, sailed yesterday morning
from Devonport, with victualling stores far the Black
Sea.

The Rambler arrived yesterday at Devonport, and
has been surveyed by Messrs. Brown and Peake, as to
her fitness to be employed as a transport.

SPAIN.

We have received an account of the sitting of the
Spanish Cortes, which took plaGe on the 19th inst.
A proposition was read to the effect that the pre-
sent Cabinet did not possess the requisite qualities
for governing, the country. The following is a brief
report of what Espartero said on the occasion :

The Duke de la Victoria, President of the Coun-
cil, rose and said—The vote of censure proposed
to the - Cortes is sovereignly unjust. I am asto-
nished certainly that an accusation has been brought
against me of not having a will of my own. I must
affirm that, on the contrary, I have one of a very de-
cided character. It is a mistake, also, to suppose that
the Ministers do not agree, and that unity does not mark
their actions. The Cabinet has accepted the views of it,
president ; and he, in his turn, seconds his colleagues in
every respect. These views amount to this :—To conso-
lidate for ever liberal institutions, public order, and the
happiness of the nation. I by no means want to sep -
rats myself front the accusation so unjustly brought
against the ministry. If the Ministers have been guilty,
or have committed errors, I declare, unhesitatingly, that
I, as President of the Council, ought to be the first to be
accused. (Loud approbation.)

LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S RESIGNATION.

Lord ABERDEEN rose to explain the reason that
bad led to the resignation of the noble lord, and said he
could not do better than read the letter ho had received
from that noble lord. The noble earl then read the let-
ter, which was to the effect that, as his lordship did not
see how the motion of Mr. Roebuck was to be resisted,
he had determined to resign the office he held in her
Majesty's Government. He had complied with the
terms of that letter, and had laid that resignation before
her Majesty. Although he greatly regretted the loss of
his noble friend's assistance, the remaining members of
her Majesty's Ministry had determined to meet the mo-
tion of Mr. Roebuck with a direct negative.
ROMAN CATHOLIC PROCESSIONS.
Lord BERNERS inquired whether the attention of
her Majesty's Government had been called to the publio

" mum,. k ST" and FIRE-RESISTING SAX FS, with Mil-
ners' New Patent Gunpow'er Proof Locks. The strongest, best,
and cheapest safeguards in the world against Fire, Robbery, or
violence.

The late fearful explosion and wide-spread devastating Fire at
Gateshead and Newcastle, destroyed property cf the value of one
million, converting a large area of warehouses (filled with sulphur,
nitrate of soda, peat charcoal, and otht r highly combustible stores),
whole stacks of offices. houses, &c., into a perfect volcano of fierce,
concentrated, incinera•ing, and long-enduring furnace heat, in which
not only combustible things, but even Ur cks, stones, and iron were
burnt up and fused. Safes of the ordinary kind, iron deorecl strong
rooms, were alike melted, torn asunder, their contents charred and
destroyed. But amongst the many instances of preservation, Thomas
Milner and Son have pleasure in giving publicity to the following
gratifying testimonial:—

" Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Oct. 19. 1854.
" Gentlemen.—We hove great pleasure in stating that, whilst our
offices were completely destroyed and burnt down in the great fire
which, on the 6th inst., reduced a great many buildings in Newcastle-
upon-Tyno and Gateshead to ashes, two of your large Holdfast'
Safes, in our offices, have been the means of preserving our books,
bills, and other valuable documents, although these safes were ex-
posed for about nine to tan hours to as immense heat, and dug out of
the ruins in a red-hot state. On opening them we found our princi-
pal books and bills in a good state of preservation. Some of the
papers were singed and discoloured, but we are happy to say they
can be used for the main purpose they were intended for. We feel it
our duty to state these facts, and swill thank you to make us new
safas t s spectricetion.—Ws are, gent!Paien, your t, nly,

RUSSIA.

The Russian Invalid states that the late Admiral
Kornilow having left an unpaid mortgage of 7,569
silver roubles on his property at Sebastopol, the
Czar has ordered a sum of 20,000 silver roubles to
be paid to the admiral's widow, for the purpose of
paying her late husband's debts. The library of
the Black Sea fleet having been damaged by shells,
the Czar has directed the sum of 25,000 silver
roubles to be accorded for repairs.
A correspondent of the Cologne Gazette, at
Odessa, writes that Prince Menschikoff, having
received considerable reinforcements, estimated at
25,000 men, including the Bth division, 3d corps,
has determined to resume the offensive, and make
another general attack on the Anglo-French lines,
immediately after the return of the two Grand
Dukes, for whose special edification this spectacle
is reserved.

hare been alleged against the old directors of this com-
pany, and to report on the earliest possible day as to
whether it is to the interest of the company that the old
directors (with the exception of Mr. Drouet) should con-
tinue to hold their seats at the board,' have to report,
"That they have deliberated on the matters referred
to them ; that they have not considered it necessary to
the end proposed by the above reference that they should
enter minutely into the points of difference that hare
arisen between a portion of the proprietors and the

ing mainly the existing circumstances of the company,
and the desirableness of a cordial co-operation be-
tween the proprietors and the board as a means of
bringing the undertaking to a successful issue, they
have—

" Resolved, That tho interests of the Great Luxem-
bourg Company would he promoted by ths old directors
(with the exception of Mr. Drouet) tendering the resig-
tion of their seats at the approaching general meeting of

and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
le saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of

SOUTHWARK.—Mr. Samuel -Rosser Kelly, printer,
of Lambeth-hill, Samuel Kelly and Arthur Kelly, his
sons, Thomas Bennett, and Isaac Morgan were sum-
moned before Mr. Combo, for forcibly entering the
dwelling-house of the Reverend Robert Gibson, at 2P,
Gravel-lane (a chandler's shop), and committing assaults
on Maria Mary Kelly, the wife of the former defendant,
and at the same time taking away from her her female
child, between four and five years of age.
Mr. Binns appeared for the female, said Mr. Robin-
son was instructed by Mr. Gwynne for the defendants.
lir. Robinson observed that there was a ♦ery artful
manoeuvre practised by the complainant in this case to
charge father, sons, and all who were actually present
at the time the alleged offence■ were committed. By
doing so they were unable to be called as witnesses for
each other, and thee they laid at the mercy of anything
Mrs. Kelly might think proper to swear. She wan a
woman of very improper character, living in adultery
with Parson Gibson.
Mr. Combo said that it would not matter at the ses-
sions, as all of them could be tried separately.
Mr. Binns then said that he attended for a persecuted
female, who had been most grossly Assaulted by the de-
fendants at the bar. She had been for a long period ill-
treated by her husband, the first defendant, and she
consequently thought herself bettor protected by living
with a kind man who had so unjustly suffered for her.
At the May sessions for the county of Surrey they raa-
nceuvred to get a bill against him (the Rev. Robert Gib-
son), and be was sentenced to three mouths for an as-
sault on her husband, although Mr. Kelly and the pre-
sent defendants were the aggressors. The complainant
kept liis home during his incarceration, and had since
then resided happily with him. She was not the first
female that had lived with another man.

NEW GENERAL MAP OF EUBOrI.

-
The Messrs. Blackwood have just issued a General
Map of Europe-31 ft. by 41, mounted—in their
usual superior style. The male has been constructed
from the best authorities by A. Keith Johnston,
F.R.S.E., F.R.G.S., ttre., Geographer to the
Queen, and comprises the latest additions and rec-
tifications, of the accuracy of which Mr. Johnston's
same is a sufficient guarantee. Sea aid railway
routes, with the distances of the former, are dis-
tinctly laid down—heights and distances are given
in English feet and miles— fortified towns are
boldly marked, and the dates of important battles,
up to the latest period, are presented in immediate
contact with the localities in which they were
fought. The map is an exceedingly valuable one,
and, in the present complex state of our foreign
relations, may be consulted with advantage by all,
and is therefore likely to meet, as it deserves, with
a large remunerative sale.
