Lineo re-
giments advancing with the escalading ladders
shoulders, the 67th Foot and the Rale
thrown out in advance as skirmishers, Captain Ord tog
the Royal Engineers, having the superintendence of
the escalading party. A 32•pouader gun was brought
to bear on them, and they retreated, being completely
repulsed.. . _ _

The whole of the troops, including the Sappers pre-
viously in the garrison, then marched to the glacis on
the lett of the lines near St. Mar)'s, and, having piled
their arms, commenced tracing parallels and approaches
tinder the superintendence of Lieutenants Ewart and
Burke, RE., while the Sappers advanced and acted as
guards of the trenches and covering parties. When the
mode in which the first positions of a besieging party
were taken was shown, the men proceeded by the ap-
proaches previously made. His Royal Highness then in-
spected a two-gun battery, constructed on the glacis on
the left of the line, near St. Mary's, which had been ap-
proached by.mining, and three bags of powder, each
containing 100 lb. weight, and one of 761 b. weight, and
wires laid to them from a voltaic battery. His Royal
Highness also visited a strong stockade, formed of
massive timber of the hardest description, about six-
teen inches square, and about twelve feet above ground,
against which a hag containing 1401 b. weight of gun-
powder was placed, and he then crossed the bridge at St.
Mary's Guardhouse, and witnessed the troops throwing
band grenades from the garrison to the glacis, where they
invariably burst immediately after falling on the ground.
His Royal Highness subsequently occupied a position
on an elevated part of the casemutes, and had a com-
manding view of the destruction of the two•gun battery
which was most completely demolished, the whole of the
works being thrown in one mass into the air by the
simultaneous action of the wires of the voltaic battery,
supetintenced by Captain Bent, Roy al Engineers, and
Ensign French, with Sergeant-Major Allen, of lb.
Royal Sappers and Miners. The slow-match having
been laid to the bag of gunpowder at the stockade, under
the superintendence of Captain Lovell, Royal Engineers.
with Lieutenant Townsend, 'Royal Engineers, and Ea-
sign Brownlow, these officers retired to position, pro-
tected by sand-bags,'and the destruction of the stockade
was truly 'gland, the 140Ib. of powder throwing up the,
fragments of the timber high into the air, rending the
logs into thousands of fragments, and scattering theca
in ell directions to a conbiaerable distance.
The Duke of Cambridge then 'proceeded to witness
the formation of a bridge with cylindrical pontoons, and
inspected a raft of Indiarubber pontoons carrying a 12-
pounder gun and limber, and a raft of casks carrying a
24-pounder. At a quarter-past three o'clock p.m. his
R. sal Highness returned to town by the North Kent
Railway, leaving Stroud at five o'clock.

Northern Railway, King's-cross, were attending to thEosir
occupation of raising .trains of trucks, laden with ear/th,
along a tramway, the ground on which the tramway passes,
and which rises gradually to an elevation of between 30 and 40 feet from the site of . the .railwiy, suddenly gave Wily,
causing considerable alarm in the neighbourhood. The spot
where the accident occurred is to the north of the newly
erected terminus at King'scross, and adjoins the bridge
passing over the tunnel' that is formed under the Regent's
Canal. A portion of the substratum was constructed of
made earth, and there was a strong wall about two feet
in thickness, erected as its supports, while the tramway bad
been in operation many months. About 300 yards gave way.'
causing the wall to separate in several parts, when a large
quantity of the soil was scattered on the line. The tramway
in consequence sank, the effect of which is that the trucked's*
prevented from running. The cause of the accident is attri-
buted to the great weight of metal placed on the grouPc_.
