ford, one of the ammunition boxes in the back of 4
howitzer tumbril, containing•4B pounds of gunpow-
der, suddenly blew up, carrying to some dis:ance
an unfortunate gunner who was sitting un the fbre-
part; by which his thigh was Irk-lured, and he was
otherwise so much injured, that a locked jaw ensued
in a few hours, and the following day he was-
leased by dexth. The adjoining box did not ex,
plode till about five minutes after, but happily the
only damage it occasioned was, to one of the 'horses
drawing a gun next behind, which was struck by a
splinter with such violence as to take. a large triatt-
elkt piece of bone off the skull, immediately
tween the eyes, leaving the hrain anJ cav-,1,-: of
the head entirely exposed. The animal, notwith'
standing, is likely to he recovered, under. the care „Inci
skill of the ordnance veterinary surgeon stationed in
Canterbury; It is supposed'soine of the powder had
gotten loose from its package, and igitited by the
friaiim; occasioned the accident.

A melancholy accident happened in. Loweswater,
on Wednesday 'se'nnight :—Two children (datigh-
ters of Mr. Clark) were unfortunately dro
in crossing a rivulet, in their way to schoOr
It appears that the rivulet • had been so swelled by
the heavy rain of the preceding night, as to cover •
the bridge over which, they had to pass, and they
had pulled otf their stockings; which were found tied
together with their garters. Dr. Head, of High
'Cross, Who' was passing near the place, percAted
the accident, and instantly gave tho alarm Seareli
was made fur the bodies, which, after Sonic tithe
were found, !The usual means of resuscitation were
employed, but without the desired effect. One of
these unfortunate children was ten years of age, and
the other eight.
A Caution to Servantc not to get into bed before
their candle is put out.—On Sunday morning a fire
happened at Mr. Woodward's, in Bull 1-i,-.1:1 -,court,
Newgate-stfeet, which was most providentia;ly ex-
tinguished, after the bed-furniture, and part of tile
bedding, its the room where it began, with some of
the servant's cloaths, were burnt. The maid-ser-
vant of Miss. B—, who has apartments there, had,
it seems, sat up some time after the mistress and
the rest of the family had retired-to their repose
and when she:went to bed, left the candle a.ight,
on a box close to the bed-Side. About three o'clock
she awoke, almost suffocated, and saw' the bed=
curtains were on fire ; she with ditficulty'got out of
the room, and awoke another servant in a neigh-
bouring chamber, who gave the alarm : the family
were soon roused, when, by employing their utmost
exertions, the fire was extinguished in the course of
; half an hour.

FlRE.—Last night„ about seven o'clock, the In-,
mates of.thel'emple .were greatly alarmed by a fire,
which occurred at the Chambers of Mr. ELLIS, on
the third story; at No. 5, Middle Temple-lane.—
Mr. ELLIS, it appeared, was out of town, and a
woman was employed to air the apartments for his
return, when a candle was suffered to communicate -
with some straw in a closet, which spread to the
wainscot, and set the. roof of the house in a blaze.
By the timely assistance of several persons, who ran
up with buckets of water, the destruffive element
Was extinguished by the time the engines arrivede-,-.
The datthge done is not very consider able. •
Early on Monday se'nnight a fire broke out at
the boarding-school of the Rev. Mr. Youatt, in the
East-street,Chichester, which avfirst threatened the
destru6tiob of the whole premises, having soon
spread from the pantry, wherein it commenced, to •
the main staircase, where its progress was, however,
stopped, soon after being discovered by Mr, Youatt,
whom a butcher had, by appointment, fortunately
called up, to give him instru&ions relative to some
hogs he had to kill for the family. The young gen-
tlemen of the school, on being alarmed; made their
escape,. unteart, out of a back windoW. The fire
is supposed to have happened from a spark that
had dropped, unobserved, from a candle on some
table-linen, which, with the pantry and staircase,
were totally consumed. •
On Monday night a man carrying a sack. was ac-
costed by a coal-heaver, who supposed he was car.
rying stolen goods, upon which he and another man •
in his company ran away, in Back-lane, St. George's
in the East. On examining the sack, it was found
to contain the body of a black man, which was taken
to the Bone-house for the-Coroner's Inquest.
Higgerty, one of the supposed murderers of Mr.
STEEL, is arrived in town from the Hospital at
Dover, where he was detained through sickness. •A
public examination will take place in a few days.
