BRISTOL, JAN. 3.—ACCIDENT WHILST SHOOTING.—We
regret to have t• record a distressing accident which oc-
curred on Thursday to T. Trumper, Esq., of the Lawns,
Grosrnont, Monmouthshire. Mr. T. was, with some
friends, out shooting; the day was frosty and the ground
slippery. In crossing a small brook at the bottom of a
dingle Mr. Trumper fell, the gun flew out of his hand,
and in the shock exploded, carrying away the whole of
the back part of the right hand from the knuckles to the
wrist. It was providential that he was not shot dead
upon the spot, for the charge tore away the edge of the
shooting jacket and carried off a portion of his whiskers.
As it was the injury was serious enough, for the shattered
hand bad to be amputated ; the operation was skillfully
performed by Mr. James Lane, surgeon, of 6lrosmont,
and we are glad to be able to state that Mr. Trumper is
proceeding as favourably as, under the circumstances,
can he expected.
The Bristol, South Wales, and Southampton Railwa♦
project has been abandoned for the present session of

'commemoration of the Emperor's coming thither to trace
out the lines of the foundation.
